Ji Yanning took Yuan Jiaojiao to follow the pair of master and servant.

Although Yuan Jiaojiao didn't know what was going on, seeing Ji Yanning like this, she didn't ask much.

The master and servant seemed to keep moving forward, completely unaware that someone was following them.

Not long after walking, the boy came to a jewelry shop.

Ji Yanning and Yuan Jiaojiao stepped forward, pretending to be seriously picking up the jewelry.

"Do you say, will Mother like this bracelet?" the boy looked at a jade bracelet of good color.

His little servant said: "As long as it is given by the young master, the lady will like it." ”

The young man smiled faintly and bitterly, and his beautiful eyes were full of gloom.

Seeing him like this, his little servant couldn't help but persuade: "Young master, don't be like this, Madam will definitely be reluctant to let you suffer, and after a period of time, the master's anger will disappear, naturally it will not be like this." ”

"I'm a stain on my father after all. The young man said, "For them, maybe my existence is the source of their troubles." ”

"Young master......," said the little guy, "there will be a way out." ”

The boy didn't answer him again, and carefully chose a bracelet to be wrapped up by the shopkeeper.

Ji Yanning heard their conversation clearly, and couldn't help frowning.

Look at this young man's speech and demeanor, he is not from a low background, but why is he so negative, is it just because of the disappointment of his family that he has lost confidence in life?

The ants are still stealing life, and he is a man, but he denies the value of his existence because of other people's opinions, which is too ridiculous.

"Isn't that the second son of the Zhao family?" the two girls not far away whispered, "Why is he here, and he also came out to buy jewelry, it is said that he has just been dismissed, could it be that he has a new love and wants to give it to others?"

"Let's talk less, it's none of our business. The other woman whispered, motioning for her companion not to talk nonsense.

After listening to these two sentences, Ji Yanning finally thought of something.

The second son of the Zhao family, who has just been retired, should be talking about Zhao Yushi's second son, Zhao Siqi.

The reason why Ji Yanning knows that Zhao Siqi's current situation is probably because of her.

Zhao Siqi studied in Taixue in Guozijian before, and he was not a talented person, but he was born in a scholarly family, and his father was a royal historian, so he could also be influenced to pass the government examination.

His brother was in Tanhua a few years ago, and his career was smooth, and the family's expectations for Zhao Siqi were the same as his brother's, but Guozijian had a scandal like leaking and cheating, which made the Zhao family chill him.

Although the culprit of the leaking case was Cai Ruheng, the students of Guozijian were exempted from punishment, but at the same time, they were also banned from the scientific examination, which means that they could not take the imperial examination in the future.

When his grandfather heard this, he vomited blood and was bedridden. Zhao Yushi was even more disappointed in this son.

His mother is Zhao Yushi's stepfamily, I heard that their husband and wife have not been in love over the years, Zhao Yushi has always been obsessed with his wife in his heart, and if something like this happens, he will definitely sprinkle his anger on his Zhao Siqi's mother.

Zhao Siqi has never suffered too many setbacks since he was a child, and now Fuzhong is restless because of his fraud case, I am afraid that he has suffered a lot of blank eyes and cold reception, and he is confused about his future, so he will think of such a stupid way.

In the end, it was because of his own fault that he implicated the innocent students in Taixue in order to pull Cai Ruheng off the horse, and Ji Yanning felt a little guilty in his heart.

Except for Zhao Siqi, the situation of the other seven Taixue students is estimated to be not much better.

Zhao Siqi got the bracelet, then turned around and walked out of the shop and headed towards Zhao's mansion.

Ji Yanning quickly stepped forward and stopped Zhao Siqi.

"Zhao Gongzi, please stay. ”

Zhao Siqi looked at Ji Yanning a little confused, and asked puzzledly, "How does the girl know that her surname is Zhao?"

Although Zhao Siqi didn't know Ji Yanning, but when he saw Yuan Jiaojiao's face, he subconsciously spoke: "Murong ......"

"My surname is Yuan. Yuan Jiaojiao directly interrupted Zhao Siqi's words.

"Well, it's Miss Yuan. Zhao Siqi was a little embarrassed and said, "I don't know what the two young ladies are looking for?"

"Can you take a step to speak?" asked Ji Yanning.

Zhao Siqi pondered for a moment and nodded.

There happened to be a teahouse nearby, so they went there and chose a private room.

Xiao Er served tea and drank some snacks, and then retreated.

Ji Yanning didn't want to beat around the bush, but asked, "Why does Zhao Gongzi want to buy arsenic?"

Zhao Siqi looked at Ji Yanning with some surprise: "You...... How do you know?"

"We saw it. Ji Yanning said, "And not long ago, when your little servant was planning to buy arsenic in Caiwei Hall, I also ran into it." ”

"It turned out to be you. The little girl next to Zhao Siqi was reminded by her like this, and finally remembered the events of that day, and said to the master beside him, "Young master, it is this Miss Ji, who said that day that she would die more painfully after taking arsenic, so the slave didn't buy it." ”

Ji Yanning said: "I'm not telling a lie, this arsenic is highly poisonous, after taking this poison, it will bleed to death in seven orifices, the death is extremely tragic, and a timid person can have a nightmare for more than ten years at a glance." ”

Zhao Siqi: "......"

Yuan Jiaojiao looked at Zhao Siqi: "You don't want to commit suicide by taking poison, right?"

"This matter has nothing to do with the two girls, you have never had any friendship with Zaixia, some things still don't know as well, I know what I'm doing. Zhao Siqi said, which means that there is no need for other people to meddle in things.

Yuan Jiaojiao was even more surprised: "What has to be dead? If you die, there will be nothing, how sad your family should be." They have pulled you so big, worked so hard to cultivate you for so long, so many years of affection, and suddenly there is nothing, they will definitely not be able to accept it. ”

When Yuan Jiaojiao said this, Zhao Siqi's face became even more sad, and he said: "In their eyes, I am a disgrace to the family, if I am gone, they may be more comfortable." ”

Ji Yanning raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that because of a leaked case, they will bear to watch you die!"

Zhao Siqi raised his eyes to look at Ji Yanning, it didn't seem to be a big deal for her to say this, but it was about the reputation of the Zhao family, his grandfather and father were disappointed in him, and his mother was also affected by it.

"If your father accepted a bribe and you found out, would you force him to die?" asked Ji Yanning.

Zhao Siqi said: "Naturally not!"

Ji Yanning: "If he does this, you will definitely be disappointed, but not to the point of death, now that you have cheated in the imperial examination, you have also been punished, and the crime is not to death, why are you rushing to give your life!"

"Some people want to live but can't live, but you hypocritically want to bury your life with your own hands, have you read the sage books for so many years?"

Ji Yanning was really a little angry at his behavior, and his tone was a little rushed.

Zhao Siqi lowered his eyes and did not excuse himself.

In fact, he is also very entangled, but the days of staying in the house are too tormenting, and he will suffer from the cold eyes of others every day, looking at his father and mother, and his grandfather who is angry with himself, he really wants to escape.

"If you die, what will your mother do?" asked Ji Yanning.

Zhao Siqi said: "My brother is a righteous gentleman, even if it is not from his mother, he will definitely be submissive to his mother." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao sneered: "Your own mother is not filial, do you still expect others to do their best for you? Even if your brother is obedient to your mother, but your father may not, she has no children to rely on now, maybe she will be abandoned by your father." ”

Zhao Siqi shook his head: "Impossible." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao said on the side: "How is it impossible? Think about it, if you die, your mother will be very sad, crying and crying all day long, complaining that your father forced you to death, and resenting your father from then on, and your father is unbearable and disgusted with her. If he is kind-hearted and forsakes your mother, if he is cruel, he will give Bai Aya or a cup of poisoned wine, bury your mother directly, and then marry a successor, and the whole family will be harmonious and beautiful, how good it would be!"

Zhao Siqi stood up directly: "How can this be!"

"There are a lot of things like this. Yuan Jiaojiao looked like she had seen a lot, and said, "Anyway, you're going to die, don't you just want to abandon your mother?" It doesn't matter to you whether she is dead or alive, if she dies, you will be reunited with your mother and son......

"Enough!" Zhao Siqi suddenly interrupted Yuan Jiaojiao's words.

Yuan Jiaojiao closed her mouth playfully and looked at Ji Yanning aggrievedly.

The little guy behind him saw that the usually gentle young master suddenly became angry, and he was a little overwhelmed: "Young master, are you okay?"

Ji Yanning sat at the table, looking at Zhao Siqi's appearance, knowing that he was starting to look at suicide again.

It's that he is a little selfish, he only thinks about freeing himself, but he doesn't know how painful others will be.

Ji Yanning said: "Since you are not even afraid of death, why are you afraid to continue to live? For yourself, for those who care about you, and for the rising sun of tomorrow, you should not have such thoughts." ”

Or I have seen so little that I am disheartened after this setback.

However, Zhao Yushi is indeed notoriously harsh, more than half of the officials in the court have been impeached by him, especially for his own children, no wonder Zhao Siqi is such a character.

Zhao Si groaned for a while, finally stood up, and bowed to Ji Yanning and Yuan Jiaojiao: "Thank you, two girls." ”

Ji Yanning said: "If you don't know where you should go in the future, it is better to go to the army to experience and gain a long experience." ”

"Me?" Zhao Siqi was a little surprised, "I can't resist my shoulders and can't lift them, and it's also a burden to go to the army." ”

Ji Yanning said: "In fact, there are also civilian jobs in the army, and there are not many scholars who go to the army, if you want to go, it is not impossible, you can go to the army under the Dingbei Hou Mansion, I heard that in another month or two the Dingbei Hou will return to the northern Xinjiang, you can give it a try." ”
