Bastard, Beast
Ji Wanxin's slender eyes looked up at her with gratitude. "Yunshu, thank you very much."
'Thank you?
Big Sister, which eye of yours saw me helping you? '
"You're not in good health, so you should hurry back to the mansion. Don't wear that ring anymore, lest you tear other people's clothes again."
"…"
Ji Wanxin's mouth was dry, and she couldn't speak.
She hung her head, looking delicate and pitiful.
Ji Yunshu seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes slightly fell. "I'll go with you to the Ji Mansion."
'Huh?
How shocking! '
Ji Wanxin was flabbergasted.
"Yunshu …"
"Don't misunderstand, I'm just going to take some samples."
…
Ji Mansion.
Although the previous fire had burned the entire Ji Mansion beyond recognition and destroyed more than half of the property, fortunately, the Ji Mansion was rich and hired dozens of carpenters. In just one short month, the collapsed buildings were completely repaired and renovated. There were no traces of fire at all.
Today, Ji Shuhan had an appointment with a business friend, so he wasn't at home.
Jing Rong didn't intend to go in, so he ordered someone to bring a chair over. He sat at the main entrance, looking like a leisurely young master. The maids and manservants served him delicious food and drinks, afraid that they would neglect him.
But who would sit at someone else's main entrance?
This quirk was unique.
Ji Yunshu's arrival caused an uproar in the mansion.
One after another, they looked at her like a bunch of monkeys. Some even pointed at her and whispered to each other.
Ji Yunshu didn't return to her original courtyard, but went to the ancestral hall. Along the way, no one stopped her. Ji Wanxin pushed away her maids and followed behind Ji Yunshu with difficulty. They entered the ancestral hall together.
Inside, the smell of incense and candles was very strong, and white smoke curled up. New incense must have been added.
Inside the ancestral hall.
There were many memorial tablets arranged from top to bottom. There were about forty to fifty of them, all of which were the memorial tablets of the Ji Clan's ancestors. They were worshiped year-round, and incense was constantly burned. Every month, the entire Ji Clan would come here to burn incense and bow.
Ji Yunshu lit a stick of incense and bowed three times to the memorial tablets before inserting the incense into the incense burner. She then walked to the edge of the ancestral hall and picked up a memorial tablet that was covered in dust. The tablet was engraved with her mother's name. Apart from her name, there was nothing else, not even her identity.
For a woman from a brothel to be able to place her memorial tablet in the ancestral hall after her death, Ji Shuhan could be considered to have been extremely benevolent.
Ji Yunshu sneered, then tore a piece of cloth from the side and wrapped it up.
"This is my mother's memorial tablet. I'm taking it with me." Ji Wanxin, who had been silent all this time, said.
She nodded and pouted angrily. "Yunshu, I …"
Interrupt!
"If you want to talk about what happened in the silk shop, then don't."
She insisted on explaining!
"I really just wanted to take a look. I didn't know this ring would …"
Interrupted again!
Ji Yunshu's eyes turned cold. "I told others that you didn't do it on purpose, but it doesn't mean that you didn't do it on purpose. Ji Wanxin, I already made things clear in Shanhuai County. I don't need to guess what kind of person you are. It's not impossible for you to tear it because you were jealous of that girl for stealing the cloth you liked. You know the truth."
Every word was like a sharp needle.
Ji Wanxin's eyes reddened. She lowered her head and tears fell.
So what if she really did it on purpose? She was the one who got the cloth first, but it was Miss Zhang who snatched it away. She was indignant. What was wrong with doing that?
Ji Yunshu shook her head as she looked at the two streaks of tears.
'Baby, sorry, I'm immune.'
She said, "I'm leaving."
She stepped out of the ancestral hall.
A voice came from behind her, "I'm going to get married."
The voice sounded helpless.
Ji Yunshu turned around without stopping.
She wasn't surprised.
Ji Wanxin sniffled and stepped out of the ancestral hall. She walked to the courtyard and said, "A few days ago, Minister Shen came by. He wasn't satisfied with me and thought that I was sickly and would ruin the Shen family's reputation. He told Father that he wanted you to marry him in my place. Father was furious and argued with Minister Shen. In the end, Minister Shen had no choice but to compromise. He said that I should get married as soon as possible while I'm still healthy. The wedding was set for the fifteenth of the eighth lunar month. Father will bring me to the capital after a while."
"That's a good thing."
"Can you come? I really see you as my dearest family. If you're not here on the wedding day, Yunshu, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. "
You're trying to cheat me of my gift money.
What a schemer!
Ji Yunshu said directly, "I won't go."
"Yunshu." Ji Wanxin suddenly grabbed her hand. "I know you hate me, but I swear that I've never wanted to harm you and Ji Pei. Believe me, I didn't tell Father what you said. Even if I was wrong in Shanhuai County, I never wanted to harm you. Believe me, I've always treated you like my dearest sister."
Ridiculous!
She forcefully pulled her hand back.
His expression was even colder than before. "I've said it before. Whether or not it was you who told Father about my conversation with Ji Pei, I don't care anymore. Since you're going to get married, just do it obediently. Marry into the Shen family and be a virtuous and virtuous wife."
She hugged the memorial tablet in her arms and walked away without looking back.
Only the woman behind her was left sobbing quietly.
She clutched her chest as if she couldn't breathe …
After leaving the ancestral hall, Ji Yunshu quickly went around a long corridor outside. She didn't expect to bump into the unruly and willful Ji Lingzhi after turning a corner.
She was as arrogant and willful as ever.
She was even carrying a pot of cactus in her hands!
The moment she saw Ji Yunshu, her round eyes glared at her.
She pointed at Ji Yunshu as if her hair was standing on end. "Why are you here?"
Her voice was shrill and piercing.
Ji Yunshu didn't want to talk to her at all.
Ji Lingzhi couldn't help but curse, "You murderer! You killed Third Brother, and you still dare to come to my house? Father will kill you, you murderer!"
They hadn't seen each other for a few months, but this little girl had grown a lot taller. However, her foul mouth hadn't lessened in the slightest.
"Get out of my way."
She stretched out her hands. "I won't. You killed Third Brother and Grandmother. I'm going to kill you!"
She clenched her small fists and punched at Ji Yunshu.
However, Ji Yunshu grabbed his wrist and forcefully flung it away.
She lowered her head and said coldly, "Ji Lingzhi, I don't have the patience to waste my time with you. Get out of my way."
I won't let her!
"Third Brother was right, you're a bastard. Father was right too, you're a beast."
Just as she finished speaking …
Smack!
A heavy slap landed on that small, yet hideous face.
