After breakfast on the second day, I heard the next person say that the old man was going to punish the third young master, and asked for family law, and even the old lady was alarmed. Nalan Jinxiu's heart was cold, knowing that this time he couldn't escape.

It's just that she can't figure it out, no matter how precious Shoushan Stone is, it won't make such a big move. She hurriedly cleaned up herself, took a cup of freshly boiled bird's nest, and went all the way to the main hall of the Ji family with auspicious wishes.

The old lady in the main hall sat upright, her expression quite serious. There are several women sitting next to her, in addition to Ji Honghuan and Ji Hongxuan's biological mother Aunt Zhang, there is also a woman about thirty years old who is more prominent and is very Peugeot.

Nalan Jinxiu didn't know her name, but she only knew that it was Ji Yao, the head of the Ji family, and Aunt Su who married back from Hangzhou. With a good background and general knowledge, it is very likely that he will be supported as a step-room.

Ji Yao is a businessman who has traveled from south to north, and he has entered a year of confusion but has an extraordinary bearing. The eyebrows and eyes are the same as Ji Hongye, but there are a few more vicissitudes of years of experience, and at this time, he is slowly turning the celadon teacup in his hand, which looks unfathomable.

Behind him stood the housekeeper holding the family law, and the surrounding family members held their breath and condensed, and they didn't dare to take a breath. Ji Hongye knelt upright, his expression was calm, neither humble nor arrogant, with a look of peace when he came and went.

Nalan Jinxiu swept away the family law that made the Ji family frightened, it was a pitch-black and shiny whip, it should hurt to beat someone! ”

Ji Yao nodded, his face was calm, but his eyes seemed to be peeling off the layers of people, "I came back from a trip and heard that you learned medical skills, but is it true?"

Nalan Jinxiu secretly said "not good", it seems that although Ji Hongxuan is not taken seriously, the matter of her pulling arrows for him has also spread throughout the Ji Mansion. Otherwise, how could Ji Yao, who had just returned from Sichuan, know? She tried her best to look calmer, and replied naturally: "I only learned some fur." ”

Ji Yao's thinking is not so traditional, he never thinks that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and thinks that medical skills are a very useful skill, and praises: "Medical skills lie in study, and if you work harder, it will be of great benefit to you in the future." ”

"Jin'er understands, thank you uncle for your advice. Nalan Jinxiu lowered her eyebrows as always.

"After getting better, I gave birth to a lot of peace, and it saved your grandmother from always worrying about you. ”

Nalan Jinxiu lowered her head and whispered: "Jin'er was ignorant before, but she won't be in the future, and she will definitely be filial to her grandmother." After patting the sycophant, he came to Mrs. Ji's side again: "Grandmother, the small kitchen has newly cooked bird's nest, it tastes very good, I will bring you a taste." ”

Old Madam Ji was quite comforted, patted the back of her hand, and spoke very pertinently: "Thanks to your filial piety, it's a pity that I can't eat anything now, just because of a piece of Shoushan Stone, your uncle will use the family method on Ye'er." ”

"Mother, it's not that the son has to punish him, but this Shoushan stone is extraordinary, if you don't move quietly, I'm afraid it will cause misunderstanding among others. ”

Mrs. Ji refused to give him face at all: "It was originally my birthday, no matter how precious this Shoushan stone is, it is also a gift for me, I want to deal with it, even if I miss it, what can I do?

Ji Yao would not contradict Old Madam Ji, so he turned his eyes to Ji Hongye, and his tone was quite majestic: "The Ruyi carved from the stone of Shoushan, do you know who sent it?"

"The son knew that it was a birthday gift from His Royal Highness King Xun. ”

"Who is King Xun, and what is his temperament and status?" asked Gu Yao knowingly.

"His Royal Highness King Xun is the second son of the current saint, second only to the crown prince. Although Ji Hongye didn't say what the temperament of His Royal Highness King Xun was, but judging from the conversation between the father and son, this King Xun is most likely a character who is not easy to get along with.

"Although our family has some money, it's just that the situation in the court is changing in an instant, and you can't offend people inadvertently, so as not to affect your career, do you understand?"

The son understands that the father is just punishing. ”

"Okay, I will give you twenty lashes today, do you have any objection?"

"Nope. ”

Nalan Jinxiu originally listened to the conversation between their father and son, and was guessing that Ji Hongye was in the court, and he should not be all the way with King Xun, and most of the birthday gifts sent by this person were suspected of being powerful.

She remembered that King Xun used to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion often, and she had several encounters with him, but she was a female dependent, so she hadn't had too much contact. I only remember that his facial features were a little feminine, and he was the object that Zong Xuanyi wanted to support his superiors.

Since it is Zong Xuanyi's party, he naturally has a grudge against her. The enemy of the enemy is her friend, so it seems that she and Ji Hongye are one step closer. At the very least, they should remain allies until she takes revenge.

At the moment when she was thinking about things, Ji Yao had already whipped Ji Hongye on his back. Listening to that voice, he must have tried his best, but Ji Hongye only frowned slightly, and he didn't even cry out in pain.

Mrs. Ji couldn't sit still, and she paced back and forth with a pale face, but she didn't dare to stop it. After all, she now knows that smashing Shoushan Stone is offending King Xun, if the Ji family doesn't show a clear attitude, it will be Ji Hongye who will suffer in the court in the future.

Aunt Su's expression behind her lit up, and there was no expression on her face, but a pair of eyes couldn't hide her excitement. There are other brothers and sisters, many of them seem to be watching jokes, it seems that Ji Hongye was beaten, and there are many people who are secretly happy in their hearts.

A man marries so many women and has so many children, it is difficult for the house to be stable. I don't know how many people will be resented and calculated by this superficial third young master in private. Thinking of this, a feeling of sympathy suddenly rose in Nalan Jinxiu's heart, wasn't she also calculated by the people closest to her?

Ji Hongxuan, who was standing next to him, couldn't control his emotions anymore, and he was ready to go out and take responsibility. Nalan Jinxiu put his hand behind his back and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Don't be impulsive, you may be beaten to death by your uncle if you go out." ”

"Even if my father wants to beat me to death, I admit it, and I must not let the third brother be punished for me. ”

Nalan Jinxiu hated iron and looked at him: "You stay honestly, I'll go." ”

"Hey......" Ji Hongxuan was about to pull her, but saw that she had already walked up to Ji Yao, and said with a half-upturned face: "Uncle, that pair of Ruyi was broken by me, you shouldn't punish Cousin Ye." ”
