Chapter 38: Confession (2)
I've seen eccentricity, but I've never seen such eccentricity, or I'm biased towards a concubine with a bad heart, even if I can't treat it fairly, I can't distinguish between right and wrong like this.
Ran glanced at Ji An coldly, and felt more and more that Ji An and Xu Ying's crazy woman were a perfect match.
Ji Guan's eyes were burning and slightly sour, and the warmth she thought she thought was just illusory bubbles in this cold Ji Mansion.
However, there are always some people who treat her sincerely, no matter what she becomes, she blames on her lips, and she always can't bear it in her heart.
And these are the people she wants to protect, and in this life she will not let the tragedy of her previous life repeat itself.
Ji An didn't expect the Ran family to be so tough, and he secretly hated it in his heart, if she really let her take Ji Wan away, the Ji family would become the laughing stock of the whole capital tomorrow, and if he was impeached by the imperial history, maybe he would be belittled, and he couldn't afford to lose this face.
Since the Qin family's side doesn't work, it seems that they can only start elsewhere.
Ji An looked at Ji Wan meaninglessly, and caught a glimpse of her standing aside safely, and the anger in her heart rushed straight up: "Rebel girl, you think the same way?" After all, she is your own sister, and she is still unconscious, so you have to kill her like this and force her to death. β
"What does my father want me to do? Generously forgive her? That's a light way to put it. Ji Wan said lightly, the corners of her mouth pulled up a touch of sarcasm, the cowardice on her face had disappeared at this moment, and she looked at him coldly, she had completely lost patience with this father.
Ran looked at Ji Wan approvingly, thinking that this girl would only be blindly weak, but it didn't seem to be the case.
Seeing that this eldest daughter, who was used to being obedient, was unusual, and dared to question him in public, Ji An was taken aback, and then a deep displeasure welled up in his heart: "Aren't you already fine, why do you need to make things so embarrassing, and where to put the face of my Ji family." β
"My daughter didn't want to do this, just to seek justice."
Ji Wan stood there expressionlessly, unmoved.
"If the father can't do it, the daughter can only go to the palace and ask her aunt to make the decision for me."
Ji An's head was shocked, he almost forgot about Hui Guifei, Hui Guifei loved him the eldest daughter the most, and she was favored by the Holy Grace, so let her know, how could this matter be good! If it was to the emperor, Ji An didn't dare to think about it anymore, and a layer of fine cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Guan'er, does it have to be like this?" An old man's voice sounded, with a faint hint of imperceptible sigh in his calm and solemnity.
All eyes were on the door.
Mrs. Ji staggered over by Mama Lin, her face was a little haggard, not as tough as a few days ago.
"Mother, you're here." Ji An stepped forward and personally helped Mrs. Ji to the hall and sat down.
Mrs. Ji frowned and glanced at Ji An, what had happened in the past few days really made her a little tired, her palms and backs were full of meat, but she still resolutely sacrificed her most beloved granddaughter for the sake of her son.
"When a distinguished guest comes to the door, it is rude to miss the welcome! If there is any inconsiderate hospitality, I hope you will be able to do so. Old Madam Ji said.
"You're welcome, old lady." Qin Heng and the others were slightly blessed.
"What you have done today, the old body already knows, and this matter is the old body's unfair handling and impropriety."
Old Madam Ji raised her eyebrows, and turned to Ji An: "An'er, you quickly send a few appropriate people to send the second girl to the family temple." β
"Mother, the temple is bitter, Wei'er's injury is not healed yet, it is better to wait for her injury to heal before going-" Ji An's face was entangled, obviously unwilling to send Ji Wei to the family temple.
Old Madam Ji sighed slightly and shook her head.
"If you are wrong, you should be punished, if you know this is the case, why bother in the first place, just ask a doctor to accompany you, the temple is clean, it must be suitable for her to recuperate."
Ji An knew that there was no place to turn back on this matter, and he no longer insisted on it in his heart, but he was still very angry on his face.
"Guan'er, so you're still satisfied." Mrs. Ji was bitter in her heart, looking at Ji Wan deeply, her tone was neither happy nor angry, and people couldn't hear the emotion.
"It's already like this, what else is she not satisfied with!" Ji An looked impatient.
"The granddaughter is grateful to her grandmother, but the granddaughter still has a reluctant request." Ji Wan didn't hear Ji An's disgust, his expression was calm, and Shi Shiran saluted.
"Just say it, as long as your grandmother can do it, your grandmother will promise you." Mrs. Ji was overjoyed,
"The granddaughter wants to ask for a favor for Ruyi, and if she hadn't testified, the granddaughter would still be kept in the dark."
Old Madam Ji responded with a slight groan.
Ji Wan was grateful, and his heart was a little complicated. With her grandmother's shrewdness, she should have been aware of what she was doing, but she didn't say anything.
Although she moved a little in the middle, the facts are the facts, and she just revealed all the truths in a different way.
Ji Wan asked Yan Bing to pick up Qinglu and looked at Ji An: "Father, today's Qinglu is also in a hurry for his daughter, not intentionally, my father has a lot, and the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, so he must not worry about a little girl." β
"You think about it too much, how can you embarrass a little girl for your father." Ji Anpi said with a smile, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
Qin Lie has been holding back for a long time, and seeing that the dust has settled, he is in a very good mood: "Wan girl, if you go back to Suguo Mansion with your uncle to live for two days, your grandmother will miss you." β
Ji Wan turned his head to look at Mrs. Ji, and then showed a sweet smile towards Qin Lie: "I also miss my grandmother very much, but the injury on my head is not healed yet, my grandmother must be worried about me when she sees it, or wait until I am well, and then take Xiao Ran to see my grandmother." β
"But, Wan'erβ" Ran stopped talking.
"Uncle doesn't have to worry about Guan'er, Guan'er can take care of herself." Ji Guan's eyes were clear, and his tone was firm and decisive.
She knew that her aunt had good intentions, but she was worried that her father would embarrass her after the incident.
"It's okay, since the girl insists on this, let her be." Qin Heng also noticed that Ji Wan was a little different from the past, and he didn't point it out, but just glanced at his wife with a sad face helplessly.
"Guan'er, why don't you take your aunt and them to sit in your yard, they are all a family, and you are still young, so you don't have to talk about those false courtesies." Old Madam Ji looked at their happy appearance, her heart was slightly bitter, and she said softly.
Ji Wan was overjoyed, she was worried that she didn't have the opportunity to talk to her uncle in private, and the old lady Chao Ji, who was grateful when she heard this, showed a smile: "Granddaughter, thank you grandmother." β
Ji Wan took Ji Ran by the hand, and the group went to Qiyun Garden, Mama Chen finally got the opportunity at this time, and greeted Qin Heng and Qin Lie, and sighed in her heart.
Qin Zhao and Qin Can walked side by side at the end, one white and one black, one with a light smile on his face, and the other with a stinky face all the time, looking very harmonious.
