Chapter 116: Giving an account
And Ji Laocheng's lord looked like 'I know', seeing that Ji Wan'er told the truth, he didn't say anything more, Ji Guan'er thought that his father would scold her well, but he didn't expect that he didn't say a word, which made Ji Wan'er a little surprised, she secretly raised her eyes, and found that her father was drinking tea casually at this time, as if he didn't care about what he said at all, could it be that he still blamed Nan Kongqian's head for everything?
She felt a little strange, so she cautiously asked, "Daddy...... Don't you believe what your daughter says?"
"Since you have told the truth, how can I not believe it?" Ji Lao City Lord asked rhetorically, Ji Wan'er was suddenly puzzled, thinking that he still put his hat on Nan Kongqian's head, so he continued to explain to him, "Dad, you believe me, this matter is really not Nan Kongqian's doing, it was really his fellow senior brother who came to me last night and took me out of the City Lord's Mansion." ”
"I know. Old City Lord Ji nodded, "That Nankong Qian has been missing for a while, and you have been sending people to find his whereabouts but to no avail, if he came to take you away yesterday, then the matter would not be able to be said." ”
"That dad already knew, so he deliberately probed me?" Ji Wan'er only reacted now, and the old city lord Ji glanced at her angrily, "Silly boy! You! What a heart has pounced on Nankong Qian's body! I really can't help you! I sneaked out of the house last night, but I found his whereabouts?!"
"Hmm. Ji Wan'er bowed slightly.
"Where is he?"
"He's already ......" Ji Wan'er was about to open his mouth to answer, when he heard a sound of wind and fire behind him, and when he turned his head, a guard hurriedly ran in, "Why is he in such a hurry?!" The old city lord Ji asked instantly.
The guard immediately replied, "Report to the city lord, there is a young man outside the gate, claiming to be the city lord of Gangneung City, Nan Kongqian, saying that he has something important to ask to see the city lord!
Ji Wan'er looked overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately turned his head to look at the old city lord Ji, "Dad! That must be Nankong Qian, he said that he would go back to Jiangling City, now, he must have come to me!"
Old City Lord Ji frowned and thought for a moment, then motioned to the guard, "Let him in." ”
"Yes!" the guard said and then retreated and led the person up, when he saw that the person who came was really shallow in the south sky, Ji Wan'er couldn't help but smile with relief, and the old city lord Ji also let her get up and stand to the side, so as not to continue to kneel and be embarrassed!
When Nan Kongqian came to the main hall and saw Ji Wan'er, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then saw that the old city lord Ji was sitting in the hall, he immediately leaned over and saluted, "Junior Nankong Qian, I have seen the old city lord Ji!"
"Get up. After that, Nankong stood up straight, and her eyes involuntarily fell on Ji Wan'er's body, she was also looking at him at the same time, the two looked at each other, and the old city lord Ji immediately set his eyes on Ji Wan'er, "Guan'er, you go down first, I'm tired after a night of tossing, go down and rest well, your mother should order the kitchen to get you food." ”
Ji Wan'er was taken aback when he heard this, and looked at the old city lord Ji in confusion, "Daddy......"
"Go down, I have something to say to him alone. Ji Laocheng Lord whispered, Ji Wan'er suddenly understood, although I don't know what my father wants to say to Nan Kongqian, but looking at my father's appearance, it's not too good after all, she didn't want to leave, but she didn't leave, and her father didn't speak, so she looked at her in a daze, she felt that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, so she could only secretly look at Nan Kongqian and leave silently.
"Sit down and talk, Nan Gongzi. The old city lord Ji politely opened his mouth to let Nankong Qian take a seat, Nankong Qian thanked him politely, then glanced at the seat next to him, thought about it, and felt that it was more important to talk about things first, so he said to the old city lord Ji: "City Lord, I took the liberty to come to the City Lord's Mansion today to disturb, mainly for two things. ”
"What's the matter?" Old City Lord Ji was no longer polite to him.
"First, I have been missing in Beiban for a few days, and Jiangling City must be very worried about my situation, so I came here today mainly to say goodbye to Wan'er, and at the same time explain the situation to the city lord, and soon after, I will leave to return to Jiangling City. ”
"Second?"
"Second, it is about my marriage with Guan'er, when I came to Zaikong City today, I have heard about it, I know that those rumors have a great impact on the city lord's mansion, the reputation of the city lord and his wife, especially Wan'er, I feel guilty, so I came to the city lord's mansion today to give the city lord an explanation. ”
"Nan Gongzi, how are you going to explain to me?" Hearing this, the old city lord Ji slowly got up, put his hands behind his back, and walked in front of Nankong Qian step by step, and said word by word: "I know what happened in Jiangling City, and I also deeply regret the death of the old city lord, but people can't be resurrected after death, and the matter has come to this point, so I can only mourn and change."
Your marriage with Guan'er was decided by me and the old city lord together, and now that the other person is gone, Jiangling City should have been decided by you, choose a good day and an auspicious day, and marry my daughter Wan'er, but you are good!
Listening to the words of the old city lord Ji, Nankong Qian also knew that what he did was indeed too much, but he didn't expect so much at that time, if he had known earlier that everything he did would have such a bad impact on Wan'er, then he wouldn't have said anything...... Nankong closed his eyes weakly, it's useless to say anything now, let's find a way to solve this matter, anyway, he married Ji Wan'er as his wife, and he was married!
So he strengthened his determination, raised his head, looked at the old city lord Ji with resolute eyes, and said: " Old city lord, I know that the matter has come to this point, and I can't change what has happened by saying anything, because of the impact of my personal irresponsibility on the city lord's mansion and Wan'er, I am deeply sorry, but the old city lord, don't worry, since the family matter between me and Guan'er has been agreed upon by you and my father, then I will marry Wan'er as my wife anyway, as long as I return to Jiangling City and marry Guan'er openly, all these rumors will naturally disperse, what does the city lord think?"
"You mean, you're still going to marry Wan'er?"
"Yes. Nankong replied firmly.
Old City Lord Ji was a little surprised, and thought that this kid would take this opportunity to shirk this family business when he came to the door today! Now it seems that ...... He is not such an irresponsible person, at least, he is still a little responsible! Thinking of this, the old city lord Ji has a slightly better impression of him, but he ......
"Are you saying that you want to marry Wan'er because I and the old city lord of Nan have already decided on this family business? Or are you saying that you want to marry Wan'er because I don't dare to damage the reputation of my Ji family and my little daughter now?"
The old city lord Ji stared at Nankong Qian and asked sternly, after all, he only has one daughter, he regards Wan'er as a pearl in his palm, if Nankong Qian really likes her and wants to marry him as his wife, then they will naturally be very happy;
But what he didn't expect was that Nan Kongqian's determination seemed to be very firm, and he said: "Old City Lord Ji, you are too worried, I married Wan'er, not because of the reasons you said, I really like Wan'er and want to marry her, and I want to thank you and my father, if it weren't for your second elder who set this family business for me, then I wouldn't have met such a good and kind girl as Wan'er."
I'm here today, just to carry the rumors of the empty city, to make an explanation to the city lord, after all, these things are all caused by me, and please believe me, after I go back to Jiangling City to take care of everything, I will definitely marry Wan'er in an open and honest manner! I love her and protect her in this life, and I will never let her suffer a trace of grievance!"
Nankong Qian is determined, swearing, Ji Lao City Lord couldn't help but be moved by his words, the reason why he agreed to Nan Fengzhu's family business before, the most important thing is that the two of them are right, Nan Kong Qian is the young city lord of Jiangling City, and his Guan Er is the daughter of the city lord of Zaikong City, with a noble status, on family background, Nankong Qian is the future city lord of Jiangling City, and the Nan family is the master of one of the nine spirits, Du Shengjing, these two points alone are enough for the Ji family to marry with him.
Moreover, in terms of individuals, Nan Kong Qian is the only heir of the Nan family, if Wan Er marries, in the Nan family, it is above 10,000 people under one person, as long as Nan Kong Qian is good to her, she will not be bullied and suppressed by anyone, not to mention that Nan Kong Qian is also the only master of one of the Nine Spirits, Du Sheng Mirror, and is a disciple of the Qilin Sect, in order to cultivate, not to mention that he has been instructed by Xie Zhenren, these are all glorious brilliance that others cannot envy.
But......
No matter how good he said, after all, the old city lord Ji is also a person with rich experience in vicissitudes, and although marrying the Nan family is beautiful, there is also a potentially fatal danger, that is, the treasure of their Nan family-Du Sheng Mirror.
After thinking about it, the old city lord Ji still opened his mouth and said to Nan Kongqian: "Nan Gongzi, I already know your sincerity to Guan Er, and it is not without a problem to marry Guan Er, but I hope that Nan Gongzi can understand one thing, Jiangling City suffered this catastrophe, and the old city lord passed away, and the source of all this is because of your Nan family's treasure-Dusheng Mirror."
Although the matter has been resolved now, as long as Du Shengjing is still there, I believe that this trouble will never stop, as a parent, I don't need how vigorous Wan'er's life is, I just hope that she can live this life peacefully, how can Nan Gongzi guarantee that after Wan'er marries you, he will not encounter any danger?"
"......" Nankong Qian was suddenly asked, and he was stunned for a moment at a loss, what the old city lord Ji said was right, it was he who ignored this problem, although the previous matter of destroying the palace to snatch the Dusheng Mirror has now been resolved, but this does not mean that no one will come to seize the Dusheng Mirror in the future, he can't even protect his father, how can he ensure the safety of Wan'er?
