Ji Chengfeng was stunned. He looked around and realized that the sedan chair was not heading back to Ji's house.
He frowned and said, "Is it Zhuangzi who you are marrying? All the servants there are from the Ji family. Don't go tipping off your parents."
"No, it's a house I bought myself a few years ago. It's just that no one has lived in it. I'm afraid it will take a while to clean up before I can rest."
After a while, the sedan stopped in front of the house. The house in front of me was deep in the alley, quiet and quiet. When I opened the door, I found the courtyard. In the center was a pool where koi carps swam back and forth. The walls on the side were covered with purple wisteria and the fragrance was fresh. The garden is full of wonders, and this mansion is not cheap.
Ji Shu got off the sedan and entered the house first, looked back and said with a smile: "Come on, I will take you to pick a yard."
Wen Pingting and Ji Chengfeng followed behind, admiring all the way into the house. Wen Pingting gently squeezed Ji Chengfeng's hand and whispered:
"Don't worry, Suisui is much more powerful than we thought."
Ji Chengfeng nodded, yes, Ji Shu has not been a submissive person since he was a child. He was suppressed by his mother-in-law and Mrs. Qi in the Hou Mansion, but he could still afford such a family. His worries were really overblown.
He curled his lips and said gloomily: "Qi Chengxu's grandson is blind. No one in this world deserves to be old. He took advantage and is not satisfied. I will not let him go."
After Wen Pingting and his wife picked out the yard, Ji Shu arranged for the servants in the house to tidy it up again.
Most of the servants in the mansion were kicked out of the shop by Jiang Fu before. They have followed Ji Shu for many years and are very loyal. Although they cannot go back now, this is still a place to stay.
After settling her brother and sister-in-law, Ji Shu returned to her main courtyard. Qingtan came back before noon to deliver the message. This place was the first to be tidied up.
As soon as she sat down, Xitao came into the room with a cup of hot water and said, "I didn't ask anyone to make tea. Miss, please drink some water. Miss is exhausted today. She won't be able to sleep after drinking tea."
After saying that, Xitao walked around behind Ji Shu and removed her hair and bun.
"Would you like to take a nap, miss?"
Ji Shu shook his head. The rain that had stopped for a while outside started to fall again, and the water vapor in the air was mixed with the fragrance of purple wisteria. The smell was soothing. Ji Shu stood on the porch with a tea bowl in hand, and the breeze blew on his face. , she smiled and said:
"You go back and rest, I'll be alone for a while."
Xitao nodded and left the upper room, turning back three times.
Ji Shu stood on the veranda in front of the courtyard and lost consciousness for a while. Unknowingly, she drank the hot water in her hand. Tiredness slowly came to her. She returned to the room and got into bed. The bed under her was not what she was used to. Well, Ji Shu fell asleep quickly.
It was a dreamless sleep. When Ji Shu woke up, it was already dark, and he could only vaguely see shadows outside the bed curtains.
"Tao'er, when did you come? Please light the lamp."
Ji Shu propped himself up and rubbed the roots of the mountain. After a while, the light of the candle lamp illuminated the inner room.
Ji Shu looked up and couldn't help but be startled, "General?"
She lifted the bed curtain, and she didn't know how long Qi Ye had been standing here. Ji Shu only saw that his eyes were bloodshot, his face was serious, and he was worried. He put down the candle and silently stepped forward to hug her.
"What's wrong, General...Are you unhappy that I want to leave the general?"
Ji Shu chuckled and hugged him back, nodding meekly on his shoulder, relaxing both physically and mentally.
Qi Ye said nothing, and the two hugged each other quietly for a while before Qi Ye let her go and took out a booklet from his arms.
The booklet was red with gold patterns, and the word "happy" was written in gold pen on the front. Ji Shu took it with a smile, "Is it the betrothal gift list? But I haven't gotten the letter of separation yet."
"You keep it first, it doesn't matter if it comes with Li Shu or not."
"General, what do you mean? Don't you want me to leave?"
Qi Ye looked into her eyes, with a struggling look in his eyes, full of regret and heartache deep in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "It was my fault, I shouldn't have let you endure this. You have to rest here these few days, and be at peace with each other." I'll take care of it."
"no."
Ji Shu shook his head and said seriously: "I have taken ninety-nine steps, and there is only one last step left. I want to finish it by myself."
