Zheng Yi
Ji Le, who has been waiting anxiously, has not received any news about Li Ran since he left. Naturally, he is extremely anxious and anxious all day long.
In the past few days, she had been running back and forth between her home and the other courtyard. She was so restless that even Ji Xian felt distressed when she saw her, so she sent a fast horse to Weiguo to find out the news.
Finally, Kuai Ma was able to return early and brought the news back to Ji Mansion that Ji Zeng had arrived in Weiguo safely and would be returning to Zheng Yi in the near future.
Ji Le couldn't help but feel surprised when he heard that Ji Zu said that the delivery had been completed in Weiguo and that nothing had happened.
Could it be said that this time he and Li Ran really made a mistake in their judgment?
Did Brother Meng really not do anything?
"Hey... you should believe it this time, right?"
Ji Xian looked at her with helplessness on his face.
Unexpectedly, Ji Le just pouted and said:
"Hmph! I don't believe dad. I want to wait until brother Ziming comes back to tell me personally!"
After saying that, he waved his little hand and turned around and walked out the door.
The old father looked at her back first and was speechless. He thought to himself: What a bad girl! Her elbows are always turned outwards!
The next day, when Ji Le came to the other courtyard again, he was surprised to find that Li Ran had returned.
"Brother Ziming!"
"Girl sacrifice..."
Knowing that Ji Le had expressed his feelings to Ji Xian, Li Ran felt a little uncomfortable. After all, there is a big difference between his girlfriend and his fiancée. It was his first time talking about marriage with a girl, and he was not prepared.
Moreover, he couldn't ask others for advice on this kind of thing, so he had to digest it alone.
"Hmph! Brother Ziming has been here for so long but has never given Leer an accurate message. Has he forgotten Leer?"
Ji Le pouted, and her pretty face suddenly fell down, and she was about to shed tears.
Li Ran hurriedly stepped forward and explained:
"No, no! How dare Li Ran forget to sacrifice the girl... It's just..."
He really had no empirical theory to draw on for this kind of thing.
As far as he knows, girls should be the strangest creatures in the world, because no one can accurately judge when they are happy and unhappy, and why they are happy and unhappy.
Their mental activity is high and low, high and low, bright and dark, happy and sad. The complexity is daunting.
So even if he is as smart as he is, he still doesn't know how to explain it to Ji Le at this moment.
"fun."
Fortunately, Jiyi and Jixun, who came back with him, rescued him in time.
They had just arrived in Zhengyi today, but he did not let Ji Zong and Ji Xun go back to resume their duties immediately. Instead, he took them to another courtyard first.
"Huh? Brother Zhong and uncle? Why are you here too?"
Seeing the two brothers here, Ji Le's expression suddenly returned to normal.
When the two heard the sound, they immediately looked at Li Ran.
"I asked them to stay here temporarily."
"By the way, Miss Ji, I need to ask you to go back and invite the old master Ji."
There was seriousness in Li Ran's eyes.
Although Ji Le was a little confused, he still nodded.
After she left, Ji Zeng asked:
"Sir, is it okay to take this seriously?"
The reason why Li Ran did not let them return to the sacrifice family immediately was to keep Shu Niu temporarily ignorant of the truth about the Weiguo incident, so that he would have enough time to deal with the follow-up matters.
But when they returned to Zhengyi last night, neither Jiyi nor Jiwen were sure that they could hide it from Shuniu. After all, there were Jishi's spies everywhere in the city. Now that Shuniu controls most of Jishi's industry and business, these spies naturally also Most of them fell towards him.
"Shu Niu has framed you for injustice this time, and his purpose may not be as simple as you think. The Ji family is talkative, and it is easy for rumors to leak. Although this place is also your Ji family's property, after these few days, the nearby Ji family's informants have also I've already taken care of it, so you can rest assured."
It turned out that Li Ran's purpose in letting Sun Wu return to Zhengyi first was to let him replace a large number of servants in the other courtyard, and also arranged for owl wings to patrol in secret in several nearby corners that were easy to hide, and marked these points as Remove them one by one.
In addition, he also needs to know what Shu Niu and Qi Guo are doing in private. Therefore, Sun Wu is not here at this moment, and he must still be investigating secretly.
…
Not long after, Ji Le left and returned with her father. It seems that although this sacrifice is said to be powerful, in the heart, it still prefers the festival music.
As soon as he heard that the funeral music wanted to take him to see Li Ran, he only insisted for a while and then agreed.
"Ziming, I heard that you want to see me?"
Ji Xian's attitude toward his future son-in-law is not very friendly at the moment. On the one hand, Ji Le told him that it was Li Ran who discovered that there was a problem with Ji's grain truck, and he suspected that Shu Niu was secretly framing Ji Zang and Ji Wen. Li Ran was suspected of instigating infighting within the Ji family.
On the other hand, Ji Le was crying and clamoring to marry Li Ran, so the debt would naturally be borne by Li Ran first.
Unexpectedly, Li Ran just shook his head when he heard the sound, and then turned to look at Jiyi and Jixun.
The next moment, Ji Zeng and Ji Xun stepped forward to greet them and burst into tears.
Yes, the two legitimate sons of the sacrifice family actually burst into tears in front of outsiders.
Their cries were full of grievances and grief, and the fear of escaping from death still spread in their cries, as if they had just escaped from the gate of hell.
"Dad! The kid thought he would never see you again!"
"Yes, Dad! The child thought he was going to die in Weiguo... wuwu..."
If the two's tearful acting were to be judged for awards, they would definitely win the Best Supporting Actor award.
Li Ran looked behind them, with an expression of relief on his face.
If Shu Niu had framed Ji Zeng and Ji Xian, if he had just told Ji Xian straightforwardly, even if Ji Xian believed it, he probably wouldn't have done anything to Shu Niu.
After all, Shu Niu is now the mainstay of the Sacrifice family. He controls many business lifelines of the Sacrifice family in one hand, and he cannot easily touch it.
The only way to make the sacrifices fear the ox is this. Only in this way can this matter become more serious.
In fact, the matter itself is already serious. Li Ran taught Ji Zong and Ji Xun to perform like this, which only added fuel to the fire.
You must know that these two people are the legitimate sons of Ji Xian, and Shu Niu is just a concubine in the final analysis.
If a concubine almost killed two legitimate sons, and almost caused a dispute between the two countries, then this matter could not be more serious.
In this era of strict hierarchies, what Shu Niu did was a taboo.
Although the drama of killing brother and usurping the throne is also common in this era. But after all, people subconsciously still despise this kind of behavior.
Sure enough, when Ji first heard the two people crying, his expression suddenly changed and he asked hurriedly:
"What's going on!"
It is certainly impossible to say that he had no defense against Shu Niu, otherwise he would not have temporarily handed over the matter of transporting grain to defend the country to Ji Zong and Ji Wen.
On the surface, it was for the two of them to practice, but both he and Shu Niu knew very well that this was him beating Shu Niu.
Therefore, when he saw his two legitimate sons bursting into tears, he already had a bad feeling in his heart.
Then, when he listened to what Ji Zong and Ji Xun said, his already gloomy old face suddenly became covered with black clouds, and even his beard began to tremble slightly. A pair of eagle eyes stared at the two of them, silent and silent. .
Li Ran actually got it right!
