Chapter 180: Pretending to be indifferent
Looking at Ji Wenxuan's haggard and weak appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. Book Fun House (?. shu quuγ netοΌ
He didn't know that his refusal to marry would hit her so hard.
For several days, the knot that had been wrapped around his heart suddenly collapsed. He vaguely understood that Xiangye and Ji Zheng framed him because of Ji Wenxuan. They just want to get justice for Ji Wenxuan.
Ji Wenxuan's blazing eyes looked at him. He bowed his head and sighed in his heart.
Ji Wenxuan didn't know what Chu Tiankuo was thinking at this moment.
Her happiness was built on Chu Tiankuo's body, and even his voice could cause her a burst of hazy and vague joy.
The sweetheart who has been thinking about it for a long time is standing in front of him. Ji Wenxuan was slightly excited, and couldn't suppress it.
The excitement and enthusiasm were like a flood that had burst its embankment, pouring out in a mighty and loud manner.
She suddenly smiled, and from her lips, face, and body, a spring breeze emanated, making people's hearts ripple.
Her cheeks and ears were red with excitement, and her eyes shone with the lightning of emotion and the light of passion.
Ji Zheng and Xiangye, I haven't seen my daughter laugh so happily for a long time, and they are infected by her emotions, and their mood is happy.
Ji Wenxuan took the Qingyun fan and walked in front of Chu Tiankuo. She trembled her right hand and reached out to tear off Chu Tiankuo's face towel.
The face of a man in his forties was revealed, with a beard on it.
Chu Tiankuo couldn't help but raise his head and glanced at Ji Wenxuan hurriedly.
The smile on his face disappeared, giving Ji Wenxuan a secretive smile.
Everyone was stunned.
Ji Zheng and Xiang Ye suddenly realized that Chu Tiankuo was disguised. No wonder, there has been no news of him on the rivers and lakes recently.
Ji Zheng looked at Chu Tiankuo and smiled meaningfully.
Ji Wenxuan chuckled and said flatteringly: "Young Master Chu, it's really you." Did you come to see me? β
What was extremely surprising was that when Chu Tiankuo heard this, he spat on her, turned his head away, and did not look at her.
Chu Tiankuo's indifferent reaction made Ji Wenxuan's heart cold, and she stood there stunned as if she had fallen from the sky to the ground. It was as if the light of hope in her heart had been extinguished all at once.
Xiangye and Ji Zheng were very angry at Chu Tiankuo's humiliation of Ji Wenxuan.
The green tendons on Xiangye's forehead burst out, and he shouted: "Escort him down and lock him up." β
"Wait." Ji Wenxuan shouted.
Everyone was stunned again.
She stuffed the Qingyun fan in her hand into Chu Tiankuo's hand and smiled bitterly at him.
Chu Tiankuo's face was expressionless, and he never looked at her.
Ji Wenxuan didn't give up, and kept looking at him with a gaze full of tenderness and sweetness.
This scene made Xiangye's heart burn.
Obviously, Chu Tiankuo had no affection for Ji Wenxuan at all, but Ji Wenxuan was infatuated with him.
With so many people watching, Ji Zheng's face was almost lost, and he shouted in a low voice: "Xuan'er." β
Ji Zheng's low cry made Ji Wenxuan wake up from his love. Seeing that her father was still holding Chu Tiankuo with a knife, she looked at Ji Zheng with a complaining gaze, and begged: "Dad, let him go." β
Ji Zheng has doted on this baby daughter since she was a child, as long as it is what she asks, Ji Zheng will do it. But now, it is Xiangye who is in charge.
He glanced at Ji Wenxuan, then quickly turned his head to look at Xiangye, and did not put down the knife in his hand.
Ji Wenxuan immediately understood.
She strode to Daddy Xiang, almost knelt down, and half cried: "Dad, please let Master Chu go." β
Xiangye was angry and ignored her pleas. He leaned over to help her up and sighed, "Xuan'er, what are you doing here?" β
The implication is that Chu Tiankuo doesn't take you seriously anymore, why do you still think about him?
"Daddy." Ji Wenxuan bit her lip and knelt down suddenly.
She knelt down in front of so many people for a man who didn't love her.
Xiangye was so angry that he trembled, however, he was helpless about his daughter's behavior. He sighed and frowned, "Xuan'er." You get up and speak. β
Ji Wenxuan knelt down, looked at Xia Xiang with a face full of grievances, and said in her mouth: "Dad, if you don't promise me, I will never get up." β
She secretly looked at Chu Tiankuo out of the corner of her eye.
Chu Tiankuo's expression was cold, and he looked at her performance with cold eyes, and a chuckle appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Ji Wenxuan seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, and her heart was cold from head to toe.
Xiangye shook his head and lowered his voice and said, "Today, he broke into Xiang's Mansion at night and let him go like this." In the future, what prestige will the Prime Minister's Mansion have? Will there be a day of peace? I have my own measure in this matter. You get up and speak. β
Ji Wenxuan's lips were pursed, but she still couldn't stand on her knees.
Xiangye beckoned the two maids over, and said in a stern voice: "Quickly help the young lady into the room." β
"Yes. Master! The two maids came over and helped Ji Wenxuan up.
Ji Wenxuan begged hard for a long time, but her father was unmoved. She glanced at her father plaintively, making sure he didn't follow hers. At that moment, she was extremely disappointed.
She suddenly lost control of her emotions, and as if she had gone crazy, she broke free from the hands of the two maids, ran to one of the guards, snatched the sword from the man's hand, and put it across her neck.
A bleak smile appeared on her face, and she said sadly, "Dad." If you refuse to let him go, I will die before you at once." β
At this moment, the Xiangfu compound was silent.
Everyone looked at Ji Wenxuan with bated breath.
Xiangye and Ji Zheng were both shocked.
The corners of Xiangye's mouth twitched, and he was so anxious: "Xuan'er." Put the knife down. If you have something to say, it's good to say. β
Ji Zheng had already let go, and the knife in his hand on Chu Tiankuo's neck fell to the ground.
This situation and this scene made Chu Tiankuo remember it vividly. The wheels of his thoughts, which were spinning rapidly, did not seem to be very at the mercy of his will.
Previously, on the mourning hall of Juyi Villa, Ji Wenxuan had held a sword like this and threatened Steward Yang to let him go.
Today, when she realized that her father was going to be unfavorable to him, she still threatened her father with her own life and let him go.
The better Ji Wenxuan treated him, the more guilty he felt.
Chu Tiankuo's thoughts were complicated, and his mind was in turmoil. However, he pretended to be calm on his face, and he couldn't see the slightest change in his heart.
He watched it all with a blank face, like an outsider.
doesn't seem to care about Ji Wenxuan's life and death.
The father and daughter were at a stalemate for a while, and Xiangye finally compromised.
"Xuan'er. Don't do anything stupid. He waved his hand at Chu Tiankuo, and his tone was full of helplessness: "Boy Huaifan, for the sake of the little girl's intercession for you today, I will let you go." You're good to go. β
After Chu Tiankuo smiled perfunctorily, he hurriedly turned around and left.
Ji Wenxuan chased after him and shouted, "Young Master Chu, wait." β
Chu Tiankuo paused.
Everyone in the house consciously retreated. Even Xiangye and Ji Zheng also withdrew.
It's time for the two of them to have a good chat. Perhaps, Chu Tiankuo can untie the knot in Ji Wenxuan's heart.
After saying it clearly, they will go their own way in the future.
