Chen Yuan chuckled: "Brother-in-law is really careful. Sister is far away in Jiangling to recuperate, and she can't come back to serve her father, so you come to visit my father and mother on her behalf almost every day, and even my little sister has taken care of me, little sister, I am really flattered. ”

"If you like it, my lord, it's good to be here." Yin Changning hurriedly saluted modestly.

When Chen Yuan heard this, his face immediately sank: "Who likes you?" Brother-in-law, don't talk nonsense! ”

Yin Changning seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and he hurriedly confessed his mistake: "Yes, I said the wrong thing next, and I ask Lord Weng to forgive me." However, I heard that the owner of Weng has a bad appetite recently, so he went to play in the mountains with his friends yesterday, picked some apricots with his own hands, and asked someone to send them to the owner's house. The mountain apricot is sweet and sour, and it should be very suitable for your appetite. ”

Chen Yuan snorted coldly: "Whether it suits my appetite or not, I have to taste it first." If it's delicious, I'll ask someone to get it from your brother-in-law, but if it's not delicious......"

"Then go and find other delicious food in the future, and you will definitely be satisfied!" Yin Changning hurriedly answered.

"That's pretty much it." Chen Yuan nodded, and then took the maid's hand and Shi Shiran left.

Yin Changning stood in place, watching her figure go away, until he couldn't see it, then he dressed up, and went to Princess Pingyi's room with a smiling face.

————

Because his health was almost better, Ji Shangxie called Aunt Zhang to discuss the matter of returning to Changsha together. In order to catch up with Yin Hua and Chen Yuan's wedding, the two of them set the time ten days later.

Of course, Ji Shangxie did not forget to ask someone to inform Liu Ce and Qikang of the news.

But on the day of the trip, they waited left and right and did not see these two people. In the end, only Imperial Doctor Ruan was late.

"Mrs. Yin, I'm really sorry, the prince asked the old man to come and accuse you. Originally, Hou Ye planned to go with you today, but early this morning, he felt dizzy and uncomfortable when he got up, and it turned out that he had a cold last night. You know his body, when he's fine, he can't toss too much, and this disease can't move. Therefore, the prince asked him to stay here to recuperate first, and then talk about the follow-up matters when he recovers. Naturally, the prince should stay by his side and take care of it. ”

After listening to Imperial Doctor Ruan's words, Ji Shangxie just sighed helplessly: "Since this is the case, then we can only go first." ”

Imperial Doctor Ruan nodded repeatedly. "But Master Hou ordered, let the old man go with you. In this way, if you have a headache and brain fever along the way, it is good to take care of it. ”

I'm afraid it's not her who he's taking care of along the way, but Steward Kong, right? Ji Shang said secretly, and when he turned around, he found that Aunt Zhang's face had become extremely wonderful again.

This is also a piece of Qi Kang's kindness, and Ji Shangye accepted it with a smile.

"In that case, we will have you to suffer with us along the way."

"It's okay, it's okay, if you can discuss Master Hou's condition with Mrs. Yin along the way, the old man will be worth the trip." Imperial Doctor Ruan said busily.

"That's nature." Ji Shangxie nodded hurriedly, and asked someone to pack up a car and sit for Imperial Doctor Ruan. She herself is still in a car with Amai Amiao.

Then the coachman flicked his whip - "Go!" ”

The carriage and horses started, and she finally left the place where she had stayed for a year and went to Changsha, the land of right and wrong.

Jiangling is nearly 300 miles away from Changsha, and if nothing else, they can walk for half a month. However, after walking for three days in a row, when he went to the post house to stay at night, Amai couldn't help but say evil to Ji Shang: "Miss, what's the matter?" It's been three days, and we haven't left the realm of Gangneung yet! I remember when we came here, we entered Gangneung yesterday morning, and we were sent to the village at noon today! ”

"This is only to ask Aunt Zhang who arranged all this." Ji Shangxiao said lightly.

While speaking, Aunt Zhang happened to come with a cup of chicken soup.

"Young lady, the journey is hard, there are no good things in this station, the slave maid just asked someone to go to the village to buy a chicken and come back, and stew a cup of chicken soup for you with her own hands, you hurry up and drink it while it's hot!"

Walking up to Ji Shangxie, her face was full of smiles, and the sincerity in her eyes was really overwhelming.

Ji Shangxie ordered Ah Miao to take the chicken soup, and asked with a smile: "By the way, I also want to ask Aunt Zhang, are we going too slow this way?" If we go on like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the wedding of my husband and Sister Ayuan! ”

"Young lady, don't you know, in fact, the slave maid has already told people to hurry up along the way. It's just that considering that you are not in good health, we don't dare to bump too much, so the driver has been controlling the speed. But don't worry, when we get out of Gangneung, there are not so many cars and horses on the official road, so we can leave quickly. The slave promises that you will not miss the wedding of the son and the lord! Aunt Zhang hurriedly explained, her eyes becoming more and more sincere.

Ji Shangyi laughed when he heard this.

"You've been talking about it for a long time, haven't you? Did you already think about how to prevaricate me when you were preparing for the return trip? ”

Aunt Zhang's face changed, and she quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Young lady, wronged!" Now that the lives of the slave and maid and the family of three are in your hands, where does the slave dare to play tricks on you? Isn't it self-defeating for the slave to do this? ”

"But I remember that your eldest son has been a scholar by her husband's side since he was a child, and he is very respected. The youngest son is too young, but he has been sent to his uncle's study to do cleaning. If nothing else, both of them will have a bright future in the future. "Ji Shang's evil and slow way.

Aunt Zhang's shoulders shook slightly. "Young lady, what do you mean by this, the slave doesn't understand."

"Don't understand, do you? Okay, I'll change it to one that you can understand. Ji Shangye nodded, and ordered directly to Ah Mai, "You go and bring Kong Wan over." ”

"No!" Amai immediately agreed, turned around and rushed out like a gust of wind.

When Aunt Zhang saw this, her face turned pale. "Young lady, hasn't Awan stopped causing trouble recently? Why did you call her out? If she does anything wrong again, just tell the slave and maid, and the slave will punish her and make her change! ”

Ji Shangxie didn't pay attention to her anymore, just sat there quietly and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Soon, Amai brought Kong Wan over.

Since that time was disliked by Liu Ce and Qikang and several people working together, Aunt Zhang hid Kong Wan. Until the time of departure, she didn't show her face in front of Ji Shangxie again, and the person was as quiet as if she was missing.

Now that she was suddenly arrested again, Kong Wan was also at a loss. "Ji Shangxi, I have stopped appearing in front of you as you wish, what do you want?"

"Ah Miao, pour this bowl of chicken soup for her." Ji Shangevil commanded in a faint voice.

"No." Ah Miao immediately nodded, and came to Kong Wan with the bowl. Ah Mai cooperated and pinched Kong Wan's chin, forcing her to open her mouth wide.

"No!"

Seeing that this bowl of chicken soup was about to be poured into her daughter's mouth, Aunt Zhang's face turned pale with fright, and she quickly screamed and pounced, and slapped the bowl open.

The porcelain bowl fell to the ground and shattered into pieces with a thud, and the full chicken soup inside was also spilled on the ground. The pungent fragrance spreads out and is very seductive.

Ji Shangxie still sat quietly on it, and only spoke softly: "There should be this soup in the kitchen!" Ah Miao, you go and serve another bowl, and you must feed Kong Wan today. ”

"Young lady spare her life! The young lady spares her life! Hearing this, Aunt Zhang finally couldn't bear it, she hurriedly crawled to Ji Shangxie, "The slave knows that she is wrong!" Please bypass my daughter, she is innocent! ”

"She's innocent, am I not innocent?" Ji Shangxie chuckled, "Aunt Zhang, although I caused your husband and daughter's illness, but you ask yourself, if they didn't deceive people too much, would I have attacked them?" And I just gave them a little hardship, and I didn't intend to kill them. But you're good, a bowl of tonic soup that changes tricks every night, if you want to kill me, you don't start to hurry up, Aunt Zhang, your heart is too ruthless! ”

Aunt Zhang shuddered suddenly. "Young lady, you ......"

"Yes, I know what you've done. I know even what you add to every bowl of soup. "Ji Shang's evil jaw head.

Aunt Zhang was immediately frightened and turned pale. "How so? How could it be! I obviously ......"

The corners of Ji Shangxie's lips hooked slightly, and he released a light smile at her: "Have you spent all my years in Zhuangzi in vain?" Otherwise, why do you think I was able to take away the power in the hands of Steward Kong in such a short period of time, and why could I make everyone up and down in Zhuangzi submit to my control? You don't think I'm the only one I have, do you? ”

Of course, she had already thought of this. It's just that she didn't expect that in just one year, Ji Shangxi's people have been pervasive, and she originally thought that the people she used were reliable!

Aunt Zhang's mouth trembled. "In that case, then why didn't you poke me in the first place?"

"I want to give you a chance." Ji Shang let out a low sigh suddenly, "Do you remember what you said when you surrendered to me? You said, you've given me all your life, so I'm going to treat you well. ”

Immediately, her voice was cold: "But who would have thought that as soon as you set off, you started to make your own small moves, you disappointed me too much!" ”

Aunt Zhang closed her mouth and took a deep breath. "Young lady, you know the identity of the slave. Not to mention anything else, just as my son's nurse is concerned, the reason why my son will entrust this important task to our family is that he trusts and values us. Their father and daughter didn't watch you in prison, but let you turn over and live, and they already had the entrustment of their son. And this time, if I really bring back a living you, then our family will really become incompetent! In this way, there will definitely be no place for our family in the house. Everything that our family has worked so hard for so many years will come to naught! ”

"So, for the sake of your family's future, you want to kill my young lady?" Ah Miao asked coldly.

"I had no choice but to do this." Aunt Zhang said.

"It's a last resort." Ji Shangxie chuckled, "Since that's the case, then I have to force it again." ”

When Aunt Zhang heard this, her eyes were straight: "Young lady, what are you going to do?" ”

"Since tonight, Kong Wan has been waiting in my room. In the future, she will eat and sleep with me, when she arrives in Changsha safely, and when I will return her to you. Of course, she must drink this bowl of chicken soup tonight. And every day after that, she had to drink a bowl. Ji Shangxie said softly, "And you say, should I feed Steward Kong another bowl?" ”

The last sentence directly became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Aunt Zhang was weak and fell down directly.

"Young lady, the slave is wrong! The slave will never dare again, please give the slave another chance! ”
