Chapter 40: Secret

Ji Wei saw Aunt Xu angry with her for the first time, and she was stunned for a while, and when she saw the strange and alienated look in Aunt Xu's eyes, she felt a sigh in her heart, and her eyes turned red in an instant, and tears fell down like beads with broken threads: "Mother, I was wrong, I was just too scared, don't be angry with me." ”

Aunt Xu's hand paused slightly, her heart softened, and she sighed heavily: "You are my daughter, the meat that fell from my body, how can I blame you, Wei'er, you listen to your mother, just leave for a while, your mother will arrange it, she won't let you suffer, and I will let someone take you back to the house." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you, mother, you must come to pick me up, and avenge me, I want Ji Wan's life, I want her to die, she doesn't die, it's hard to eliminate the hatred in my heart." Ji Wei's expression was grim, and she was no longer making trouble at the moment.

"Don't worry, you can go with peace of mind, there is a mother in the house." Aunt Xu comforted Ji Wei, turned around and said sharply to the two maids: "Linglong Amber, you go to the family temple with the second miss, if there is anything wrong with the second miss, be careful of your head." ”

Linglong Amber glanced at each other, feeling bitter in her heart, and she didn't dare to resist, so she nodded quickly.

Ji Quan, who was not far away, patted the corner of his robe, and raised his eyebrows disdainfully, although he was loyal to his master, he really couldn't agree with his master's vision of women.

Ji Wei had already accepted the reality, although she gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart, she didn't show it on her face, and obediently was helped out of the house by the two maids until she got into the carriage.

Aunt Xu watched the carriage gradually move away, and then turned around unwillingly.

Ji Quan didn't care about her, and went to report to Ji An.

Ji Wan took the Qin family back to his courtyard and entered the front hall of Qiyun Garden, Yan Bing was very discerning and sent away the extra people, and stood outside the door with Qinglu.

There were no outsiders in the house, Ji Guan knelt directly on the ground and made a big salute: "Guan'er, thank you uncle and aunt." ”

Qin Heng and Qin Lie were a little at a loss, Qin Zhao was still smiling, but Qin Can frowned and glanced at Ji Wan incredulously.

Ran's eyes quickly helped Ji Wan up, seeing that her body was weak and thin, and her heart was sour: "You child, you are all your own family, what are you doing so politely, the ground is very cold, your body is not well yet, don't get up quickly." ”

After such a fuss, the relationship was a lot closer, Ji Ran finished the salute, was picked up by Qin Lie affectionately and thrown into the air, and immediately screamed in fright, until he was caught by Qin Lie and stood on the ground safely, he was relieved in shock, and found that everyone was looking at him with a smile on their faces, and blushed embarrassedly.

"Boys can't be so timid, when your cousins are your age, they can ride horses with small bows and go hunting."

Ji Ran's round eyes were full of yearning, and then they darkened again.

His father didn't let him go anywhere except to let him read in the courtyard, and he had already memorized those books.

"Xiao Ran wants to practice martial arts." Qin Heng asked with a smile, and glanced up and down at Ji Ran, this kid has good roots, and he is a good seedling for martial arts.

"Is that okay? But my dad wouldn't agree. ”

If you can protect your sister after practicing martial arts, but when you think of Ji An, you will hang your head again, although he is only six or seven years old, he is naturally smart, he can see that his father does not like his grandfather's family, and his father, who claims to be a literati, has always looked down on the Suguo Mansion in his heart, and always feels that their generals are vulgar and have no background, and even with him and his sister he is not fond of him, if it is not only his son, I am afraid that he has forgotten his existence.

In fact, the military generals of the Suguo Mansion have been heirlooms for a hundred years, stationed in Jiananguan for generations, loyal to the country, deeply favored by the emperor, and the family background is even deeper, but as a military general, he is more straightforward.

And the Ji family is only a little talented in his father's generation, and the most in the previous generations is only famous, and he has never understood where his father's superiority comes from.

Before this, except for his grandmother, few people in the house cared about him, and even those faceless Diao slaves dared to secretly give him a head to eat, and he had already tasted the warmth and coldness of people's hearts.

Ji Wan sensed that something was wrong with him, smiled softly at him, and rubbed his hair: "Does Xiao Ran want to practice martial arts?" ”

"Yes." Ji Ran only felt warm in his heart, and all the haze was gone.

Qin Hengwen said in a warm voice: "Your father doesn't have to worry about it, just leave it to your uncle." ”

Ji Ran was overjoyed, and his eyes were shining: "Thank you, uncle." ”

Ji Guan's eyes were grateful, Ji An would definitely not let Ji Ran practice martial arts, if she would have to take some twists and turns to achieve it.

"Uncle, Guan'er has something I want to say to you alone."

Qin Heng was a little surprised, nodded slightly, and said, "When I came in just now, I saw that your garden was beautiful, so why don't you go out for a walk with me." ”

Ji Wan explained to Mama Chen and walked to the courtyard with Qin Heng.

Today's climate is quite cool, the breeze is blowing, and the strange flowers and plants in the Xiangfu are all in Aunt Xu's Wanyingju and Ji Wei's Rose Courtyard.

"The girl has something important to tell her uncle." Qin Heng asked directly.

"Uncle is wise." Ji Wan smiled slightly, and did not sell Guanzi, Qingyue's female voice sounded in the breeze of Xi Xi: "Does Uncle know about the fourth prince's request to marry Guan'er?" ”

Qin Hengda was taken aback, and looked at the weak and pale niece in front of him who was standing straight and had a calm face like water, as if he had met him for the first time: "How did you know?" ”

This matter is very thorough, because of the royal face, very few people know about it, and he only knew about it because Concubine Hui sent someone to pass on the news in private, and even Qin Lie didn't know about it.

The biological mother of the fourth prince Ning Rui, Concubine Xian Niangniang, is the youngest daughter of the deceased Taifu Chen Xuan, and her appearance is not outstanding in the harem of beautiful women, but she is better than her gentle temperament, knowing how to advance and retreat, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she has also won some of the emperor's love, and has a prince under her knees.

In addition to the three princes who have not appeared in front of people, the four princes are the most sacred, and from time to time they will be called by the emperor to the imperial study to teach homework, and when chatting with the emperor that day, he took the opportunity to mention it to the emperor, and the emperor changed his face at the moment, and refused to the young daughter of the Ji family, and then borrowed a reason to give the four princes an errand in the Ministry of Works.

"The reason why Xu's mother and daughter are so anxious to kill me is because of this." There was a hint of mockery in Ji Wan's faint tone.

Qin Heng was shocked in his heart, and there was a trace of doubt and vigilance in his eyes when he looked at Ji Guan, he didn't blame him for being like this, but this niece who had always been cowardly and unassertive suddenly said something amazing, he was a little strange, not that he was afraid that she would have any bad intentions, but that he was afraid that she would be used at a young age.
