On the Ji family's carriage back home, Ji's mother woke up leisurely.
Wen Pingting wiped her face with a wet silk handkerchief and asked worriedly: "Does mother feel uncomfortable?"
"I'm fine...Where's Shu'er! Where are we?"
Father Ji: "She's in the sedan behind."
There were cushions on three sides of the carriage, and Ji's father sat in the center. His legs were slightly apart, with his palms resting on his knees. Even in private, his back was straight. Not even a wrinkle could be found in his regular clothes. There were writings all over his body. Full of meticulousness.
Ji's father's face was gloomy, "Wudinghou Mansion has gone too far to bully others!"
"What! Shu'er is behind you? Does she really want to go back? Is what the old lady at Wuding Marquis Mansion said true?!"
Ji's mother sat up straight, her eyes immediately turned red, she covered her face and cried, "I have suffered so much in the Wuding Hou Mansion in my years!"
"When I return home, I will write a note and submit it to the cabinet. I will wait until tomorrow morning for your Majesty to ask the Qi family for an explanation!"
Ji's mother: "The Wuding Marquis Mansion concealed the fact that Qi Chengxu and the daughter of the family were confiscated before the engagement. The whole family discussed Shu'er. If they can't give our family a decent explanation, they will never let Shu'er go back with them! The worst thing is to stay in the house for a longer time. …”
Ji's father nodded, Ji Chengfeng's face turned red, and he finally couldn't help interrupting the two of them.
"Didn't you hear what Shu'er said! She doesn't want any explanation from the Wuding Hou Mansion! She wants peace! Peace!"
Ji's father had no expression on his face and said lightly: "How can you take the angry words of your daughter's family seriously? The Ji family has never divorced for several generations, and the same is true for the high-ranking family of Qin Dynasty. Don't make her think about this again! You are not If you help her, you will harm her!”
"Chengfeng! Your father and I both know that you feel sorry for your sister. She is our daughter, and we feel sorry for her too! But Shu'er is not just a person, she also represents the Ji family! Let the people in the capital know that she is with Li, you What should we do with the other girls in the Ji family who have not left the court? You have to look at the overall situation!"
Ji Chengfeng clenched his teeth and his eyes were red. Wen Pingting held her husband's hand and said in a soft voice with helplessness:
"Just because Sui Sui and Li don't dare to marry a girl from the Ji family, what kind of good family is that? Just because of this, she sacrifices Sui Sui's happiness all her life and lets Sui Sui return to that mansion full of deception. She will be in trouble for the rest of her life. How can you be happy?"
Ji's mother was displeased, "Pingting, why do you say such a thing? You are the most well-behaved. You can't follow Chengfeng when he is stupid! Could it be that in the future, if Chengfeng marries a concubine, you will be like Suisui, noisy and noisy?" Do you want to make peace with me?"
Wen Pingting's face suddenly turned pale.
"enough!"
Ji Chengfeng grabbed Wen Pingting's hand and growled unbearably.
Ji's mother was also a little flustered. She knew she had made a mistake. She glanced at her husband and said to Wen Pingting calmly: "Pingting... I didn't mean that..."
Wen Pingting tried her best to soften her expression, "I know my mother."
"Stop talking about it. Your sister knows what's wrong with you. She has always been sensible. She will figure it out sooner or later. You two live your own lives and don't interfere in other people's affairs! Since ancient times, family disputes have been uneven because of you. Plant relatives and encourage them among them!"
Ji's father opened his mouth with anger, "I haven't talked about you yet! How dare you get into such a big fight at the banquet of Wuding Marquis Mansion! Shouting and killing! Let others know that our Ji family's century-old Confucian sect has such a bastard like you. ! How do I meet my colleagues, how do I meet my relatives!"
Ji Chengfeng's face was expressionless, "If I let that kind of person bully my sister for these illusory things, I would be the bastard!"
"you!"
"parking!"
Ji Chengfeng didn't wait for Ji's father to get angry and asked the driver to stop the carriage. He jumped out first and then carefully caught Wen Pingting.
Father Ji poked his head out of the carriage and shouted, "You bastard! Where are you going!"
"Without saying anything, Pingting and I will walk back to the house by ourselves. My parents can go back by themselves!"
Mother Ji: "Chengfeng——"
"What a bastard! If you can, don't go back!"
Ji's father threw down the curtain and roared: "Go back home! No one is allowed to care about him!"
The coachman glanced at Ji Chengfeng in embarrassment, flicked his whip and rode away.
As the carriage drove away, Wen Pingting sighed and patted her husband on the back.
"It's normal for parents to be bound by rules. It's normal for them to be unable to change for a while. Let's slowly persuade them. As long as Sui Sui doesn't let go, he can always persuade his parents. Don't be angry with your father. Now you can help Sui Sui to persuade him in front of his parents. The only ones left talking about it are you and me.”
Ji Chengfeng held her hand tightly, "You are wronged because you are caught between me and my parents. Don't listen or believe what my mother just said. I will never break my promise to you."
When they were newly married many years ago, Ji Chengfeng promised that she would be the only one in this life.
Wen Pingting was doubtful at first, but after so many years of marriage, Wen Pingting had nothing to do. The Ji family and the Wen family, as well as people from the capital who coveted the Ji family, countless bees and butterflies, Ji Chengfeng never wavered. Pingting believed it. She never regretted marrying Ji Chengfeng and supported all his decisions.
The couple looked at each other and smiled, and the unhappiness just now dissipated a little.
At this time, a laugh came from the side, "Brother and sister-in-law are so affectionate in the clear sky, aren't they?"
The two looked at each other, and Wen Pingting blushed, "Sui Sui!"
Ji Shu raised the curtain and covered his mouth with a smile, his brows were full of joy, and he didn't show any signs of being sad because of the incident in the Hou Mansion.
Ji Chengfeng and Wen Pingting both breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Shu: "Aren't my brother and sister-in-law on my parents' carriage? Why did they get down?"
"I had a disagreement, so I came down. I didn't want to be offended in front of them. Suisui, let your sister-in-law ride in the sedan with you, and I'll follow you on foot."
The sedan was not big and was carried by two strong men. Ji Shu squeezed and Wen Pingting could sit down.
Wen Pingting got on the sedan, and Ji Chengfeng walked beside the big man carrying the sedan. Ji Shu rolled up the curtain and sighed:
"Brother, there's no need to argue with my parents because of me. It's not worth it."
"What nonsense! What is worth it and what is not worth it?! You are my sister, everything I do for you is worth it!"
Ji Chengfeng clenched his palms tightly, "I just hate that I haven't climbed high enough..."
Tears filled Ji Shu's eyes, and she suppressed her tears and said with a smile: "Brother is already in the fourth grade, and he said that he has not climbed high enough. Let others hear that he wants to know that my brother's heart is as high as the sky."
Ji Chengfeng is only twenty-six! He won three yuan in a row, and in six years he went from supervising the censor to being the censor of Youqiandu. There was no second one in the entire Qin Dynasty.
Ji Chengfeng shook his head, "If I can stand taller than my father, I can..."
"Shh!"
Ji Shu shook his head quickly and smiled helplessly, "Brother, you can't say that. My parents don't allow me to divorce, even if my brother stands taller, he won't allow it."
Wen Pingting held her hand and said warmly: "Don't be afraid, your brother and I will help you. I won't let you go back."
"Brother, sister-in-law, I accept your wishes, but I want to do this myself."
Ji Chengfeng was anxious, "How can you do this! You -"
"Brother, I am no longer the six-year-old child I was."
Ji Shu smiled and said, "Besides, when I was six years old, my parents refused to let me mount a horse. I haven't learned it yet."
Ji Chengfeng's expression softened, and Ji Shu said, "I can do it. Even if it doesn't work, I still want to try."
Ji Shu: "Since my parents have driven away my brother and sister-in-law, why don't I go home with my brother and sister-in-law?"
