Chapter 17
"No, this is impossible. Yan'er has only been close to you, how could she like someone else!" After all, she is the mistress of the house. Although Ge Shi was shocked, she quickly reacted. She suppressed the inexplicable uneasiness in her heart, stood up with a forced smile, and said, "There must be some misunderstanding here. Brother Ji, you must believe Yan'er. Yan'er has admired you since she was a child..."
"Yes, there must be a misunderstanding here!" Concubine Sun also realized. She knew that this matter was related to the reputation of her daughter's family. After saying this, she hurriedly sent out all the maids serving in the room.
Ge Shi glanced at her gratefully and softened his tone: "Brother Ji, what happened between you and that girl Yan'er? Please tell your aunt carefully, and she will definitely make the decision for you! If there is any truth in it, If there is any misunderstanding, let’s clarify it in person to avoid being framed by villains!”
"Is it a misunderstanding? I'll find out if my aunt goes back and tortures the second son of the family." Xiao Ji was too lazy to talk to Ge Shi and blocked all her subsequent words with one sentence, "It is not natural for a brother and a sister to fall in love. For the sake of my aunt and your noble family, For the sake of the other girls in the house, I will not publicize the scandal between the two of them, but that’s it. From now on, the relationship between Miss Cui San and I is just an ordinary cousin. I also ask my aunt to control her in the future. Never ask her to appear in front of me again."
Gurdjieff: "..."
Ge's head was buzzing at the words that seemed to show mercy, but were actually cold and decisive, with no room for turning around. Thinking again about what he said about "the second man in the house" and "brother and sister falling in love", she took a breath and felt dizzy in front of her eyes: "You! What did you say?!"
Concubine Sun, who was stunned again, was also full of disbelief: "Between brothers and sisters...how, how is this possible..."
Ge Shi pinched his palm hard to relieve his breath, turned his head and fell to his knees with a bang, crying: "Cousin Mingjian! Brother Ji must have misunderstood this matter! Yan'er and Erlang are connected by blood. Brothers and sisters, how could they have a relationship beyond that of brother and sister! I don’t know who is talking nonsense with Brother Ji, this is simply! This is simply a heart-wrenching remark that wants to drive me, Yan’er, to death!”
After saying this, Ge Shi's heart was beating fast and he was extremely panicked.
Because something is really wrong with Cui Lingyan recently.
For example, she obviously goes to bed very early every night, but she always looks depressed during the day; for example, she is always distracted from time to time these days, with a shy and sweet smile on her face. And she usually likes to come to Prince Duan's Mansion, but today Geshi asked her to come with him, but she made excuses to push back. She just gave her a purse she made by herself as if to test something, and asked her to help deliver it to Xiao Ji... …
It is said that the best friend is Mo Ruomu, and Ge is Cui Lingyan's biological mother. After being told this by Xiao Ji, how could he not be afraid?
But after all, she loved her daughter and knew the seriousness of this matter, so even though her heart was already in turmoil, she just knelt in front of Concubine Sun and bit her to death for the unwarranted slander.
After hearing her cry, Mrs. Sun also felt that it was unlikely to be true. After all, being brothers and sisters, this is really against the rules and ethics.
She frowned and looked at Xiao Ji in embarrassment. Just as she was about to say something, she saw her son, who had always been gentle and rarely angry, raised his eyebrows again and said with a sneer: "So my aunt doesn't know yet. Cui Ang is not He is from the Cui family, he is just the son of a criminal who was secretly adopted by his uncle."
Concubine Sun was once again shocked: "Huh??!!"
Ge Shi, who had never expected that there would be a big thunder waiting for him, suddenly blacked out and collapsed to the ground.
God, what is this?
*
Ge's hands and feet became weak and he walked away like a wandering spirit.
Concubine Sun couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. It wasn't until Xiao Ji saw that nothing happened and was about to leave that she suddenly came to her senses and grabbed him: "Dazhuang, my poor child, you have suffered."
Xiao Ji froze immediately: "???"
What the hell!
"I don't care who the second son of the Cui family is, I'm just talking about you. You have liked Sister Yan for so many years, and now you are watching her fall in love with someone else. It must be extremely uncomfortable..." Sun Taifei's eyes turned red as she spoke. She shed tears of distress, "No wonder my mother-in-law always feels that you have changed as a person recently. It turns out that you have encountered such a sad thing."
Xiao Ji was digging his toes into the ground, but he was shocked when he heard these words.
He had worked very hard to play the role of the original owner in front of Concubine Sun, but she still noticed something unusual...
Concubine Sun did have an indescribable sour feeling in her heart these days when facing Xiao Ji. It wasn't until what happened just now that she consciously found the reason and no longer struggled with it.
"So big and strong, don't be sad, come here and give me a hug." Concubine Sun suppressed the inexplicable sadness in her heart and reached out to hug her poor son, "Don't worry, I will definitely find you a better princess than Sister Yan."
Xiao Ji: "..."
Xiao Ji took a step back stiffly, all he could think about was: Help me! help me!
Seeing his embarrassed look, Mrs. Sun wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. She wiped away her tears and said, "You kid, why are you embarrassed in front of your mother and concubine? When did you find out about this? Why? Didn’t you tell mother and concubine earlier?”
Concubine Sun was born in a family of officials. She was the youngest daughter in the family. She had an innocent and gentle temperament, which made her very popular with the then Emperor. There are not many women around the Supreme Emperor, and she is content with what she has and does not fight or grab, so her journey has been quite smooth.
This also led to the fact that although she was nearly forty years old, her mind was still as simple as before. Regarding her own children, she could not help but treat them as immature children who had not yet grown up.
The original owner was very accustomed to this and was willing to put down his body and coax his mother, but Xiao Ji...
Thank you, why don't you just kill him?
He looked awkwardly at Concubine Sun, who was still waiting for his answer. After a while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "...that's what happened a few days ago. I was afraid that my mother would worry me so I didn't say anything. Well, I suddenly remembered that I still have a few things. It’s okay, mother-in-law, have a good rest, I’ll come see you later!”
After saying this, she ran away without waiting for Concubine Sun's answer.
"Hey, you kid! My mother-in-law hasn't finished speaking yet!"
Interrupted by Xiao Ji, Mrs. Sun couldn't cry anymore. Just thinking about Cui Lingyan and Cui Ang, she still felt a little unbelievable.
"I hope it's just a misunderstanding. Sister Yan's child, hey, how can you not like Da Zhuang to like others? My Da Zhuang is so good!" She muttered a few words with a sad face, and sat up with her body propped up. , "Someone, bring over the Guanyin statue I brought back this time!"
She had to quickly beg Lady Guanyin so that this matter would have a good outcome!

Xiao Ji didn't know that Mrs. Sun had become superstitious after he left. After he was scared away by the cheap mother's overflowing motherly love, he quickly called Ye Fei out of the house.
Aunt Zhao's funeral was arranged yesterday, but Ye Fei was still a little immersed in the pain of losing his mother. Xiao Ji saw how pitiful he was with his wilted head, so he thought of taking him out to relax - it just so happened that he had been here for so long, and he hadn't seen the world seriously yet.
In addition, there is Miss Jiang. Even if he does not plan to marry her, he should take the initiative to meet her once or twice in this half month, otherwise he will not be able to reply to the emperor.
With this in mind, Xiao Ji took Ye Fei to go shopping and have lunch, then took him in the direction of Jiang's house.
Ye Fei is a person who loves gossip. When he saw that his prince actually took the initiative to find a girl other than Cui Lingyan, he finally cheered up: "Why did the prince go to find that girl Jiang? Didn't you order someone to give her a thank-you gift before? Yet?"
"After all, it was a life-saving grace. It feels a bit disrespectful to just give it away with money. It would be more sincere to say thank you in person." Xiao Ji was looking at the surrounding street scene and replied casually after hearing this.
Ye Fei is a very nervous and simple-minded person. He said "Oh" without doubt, and then scratched his head and reminded: "Then should we bring some gifts? Just go to the door empty-handed, as if Not quite suitable?"
Xiao Ji regained consciousness and nodded, then raised his chin forward: "The street in front looks very lively. Let's go over and see if there is anything suitable to buy."
"Okay, I know this place well. Prince, come with me!"
Ye Fei used to follow his prince from afar, but today he was suddenly allowed to serve him closely, and he felt a little excited. After he finished speaking, he strode forward to introduce Xiao Ji, but at this moment, the two of them suddenly stumbled out of a relatively remote alley at the end of the long street. The seven or eight-year-old boy, who looked quite embarrassed, cried with panic on his face: "Sister! Sister, where are you?! Wuwuwu, someone has kidnapped my sister, have you seen me? sister--"
Because there were so many people coming and going around here, as soon as the little boy came out, many busybodies stopped and looked over.
"Whose child is this? Why is he crying like this?"
"It seems that this little kid's sister has been lost. Oops, she must have met the Paihuazi who killed a thousand swords!"
"You look so pitiful, kid, where are your adults? Go home quickly and let your adults report to the official!"
Seeing this, Ye Fei, who has always been a hot-blooded and chivalrous man, turned around and asked Xiao Ji: "Your Majesty, can my subordinates come over and take a look?"
"I am coming too."
Xiao Ji hated human traffickers so much that he and Ye Fei trotted over there quickly. But as soon as he approached the little boy, he saw a scholar-looking man in the crowd exclaiming: "Oh, isn't this Brother Yu from Mr. Nanyin's family? Why are you here alone and still crying like this? ?”
Mr. Nanyin, it sounds very familiar.
Xiao Ji thought for a while and quickly remembered that this was the name of Miss Jiang's father, Jiang Baichuan.
This kid turned out to be Jiang Baichuan's son, so wasn't the sister he was talking about the person he was looking for? !
