"Why are you here? You are still ill, how can you come out and walk around?!"
Father Ji stood up.
Ji Shu found the nearest chair and sat down. He covered his lips with a silk handkerchief and coughed twice.
Qi Ye picked up an empty tea cup, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.
Ji Shu took it in his hand and said softly: "I just heard the general's intention. I am willing to marry. Please go back and prepare for the appointment, and then invite the iceman to come to discuss the auspicious time."
"good."
"no!"
Qi Ye and Ji's father opened their mouths at the same time. Ji's father's face was livid and he looked at Ji Shu warningly.
Qi Ye stepped forward and stood between the two of them. Regardless of Ji's father's cold eyes behind him, he calmly lowered his eyes and said to Ji Shu: "I will go to ask for the order tomorrow, and I will bring Iceman to the door the day after."
Ji Shu's eyelashes trembled slightly and he nodded slowly.
Qi Ye took out another deed from a place close to his heart and handed it solemnly to Ji Shu's hands.
"It's windy today. Go back quickly and don't catch a cold."
When Qi Ye closed his hand, he touched her cold palm and frowned slightly.
"The same goes for General, please ride more slowly on the way back."
Ji Shu could feel the cold air on Qi Ye's body from just now. The dew on his sleeves was heavy in the early morning, and the material on his sleeves was damp.
Qi Ye was stunned for a moment, then responded seriously: "Okay."
The two exchanged a few simple words, but the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Ji Chengfeng squeezed the deed in his hand, stepped forward and interrupted the two of them:
"Xitao, help the young lady back."
Ji Shu's heart was beating fast, he suppressed the urge to turn around and left the front hall silently.
After returning to Luming Pavilion, Xitao relaxed her shoulders, breathed a long sigh of relief while stroking her chest, and smiled broadly: "That's great, Miss!"
Ji Shu took a sip of tea to feel relieved, his eyebrows were gentle, but the emotion in his eyes was not joyful.
"It's too early to be happy now. It won't be too late to be happy when my parents relent."
Ji Shu sent people to pay attention to the movements in the front yard.
Not long after she left, Qi Ye was also 'invited' out of Ji's Mansion. Ji's mother and the others reached Luming Pavilion in a matter of seconds.
"Shu Shu! You are so confused! Do you want to make me mad? How can you say such things casually in public!"
Ji's mother pointed at Ji Shu, who was sitting on the head of the bed with a sick look on his face, and could not be hit or scolded.
I was so angry that I walked back and forth several times and sat on the chair with red eyes and was anxious.
She cried and said: "It's all my fault. I used to indulge you too much, restrained you too little, and developed your lawless temper. Now you've become so stubborn that you don't even listen to your parents!"
"Mother, don't be anxious. Think about it differently. As soon as the champion comes to the door, won't Shu'er's current predicament be solved?"
Wen Pingting put her hands on Ji's mother and said softly:
"Rumors are difficult to clarify. The best solution to this matter is to make mistakes. Fortunately, the champion is not a bad person, and he is well matched with Shu Shu."
"What's the match? A good girl won't wait for two husbands! What's more, she comes from the same family. Where do you want our Ji family's century-old reputation to be placed!"
Before Ji's mother could open her mouth, Ji's father strode into the inner room and said angrily.
"It just won't work anyway!"
"Master, have you returned what Qi Ye gave him? You can't take it away! Don't ask him to go to the emperor to beg, otherwise there will be no way to return it!"
"I returned his deed to him... By the way, he also gave you a copy, right? Bring it and I'll ask someone to return it to his house."
Ji's father walked to the bed, looked at Ji Shu's pale face, softened his stern expression, and softened his tone.
Ji Shu: "That's what the general gave me. Of course I have to keep it well."
Ji's mother stepped forward anxiously, "What are you doing here? Are you really going to get married?"
"If you don't get married, what will happen now? Or should you listen to your parents and agree to Xiao Chan or Qi Chengxu?"
Ji Shu smiled and said, "If it were them, it would be better to be Qi Ye."
Ji's father and mother looked at each other awkwardly. They discussed these matters in private. They knew that Ji Shu would not agree and deliberately went behind her back. Unexpectedly, he still let her know.
"Ahem."
Ji's father made a fist with his hand and put it to his mouth. He lowered his posture and said in a good voice:
"Xiao Chan and Qi Chengxu, although their ability and achievements are not as good as those of Qi Ye, one of them knows the basics, and the other...that's all. If you really can't accept what happened in the past, Qi Chengxu won't consider it!"
He paused, then turned around and said, "Xiao Chan is a good father. He has been waiting for you for many years. You can take care of yourself..."
"When my father showed me my wedding, he also came to me and said that Qi Chengxu was good. What was the result?"
Ji Shu was speechless and his father was speechless.
She lifted the brocade quilt and said lightly:
"As for Xiao Chan, I made it clear to him seven years ago, and he turned around and accepted the marriage from his fourth uncle's family. Since his intention to get married was not sincere, why did he agree in the first place?"
Ji's mother said disapprovingly: "If you reject someone, you can't let them wait in vain all their lives."
"He can wait, but since he has made an engagement, he has to take responsibility. Xiao Chan has dragged Ji Ying away for so many years, used him completely, and now abandons her. Mother asked herself, is this kind of person really reliable?"
Ji's mother swallowed her saliva and opened her mouth but could not speak.
Ji Shu: "Qi Ye has no feelings for me, but he can marry me just because he ruined my reputation. How can Xiao Chan compare with him?"
"Before I got married, my sixth sister was arrogant and domineering, but she was also cute. Now she has become my enemy... Xiao Chan is the culprit. Daddy, don't let me see him in the future, otherwise my legs will be damaged. "
Ji Shu narrowed his eyes and said word by word: "I will find a way to end his official career and see how he can be a good dancer among the sisters of the Ji family for the sake of his future."
The entire Luming Pavilion fell silent.
Ji's father looked at Ji Shu in shock. Although he knew that Ji Shu had an arrogant and strong temperament, this was the first time he felt it so intuitively.
Ji's mother's heart was beating hard.
Shu, Shu'er? "
Father Ji was so angry that he was trembling even as he spoke.
"You, do you really want to ignore the glory of the Ji family and become this deviant person?"
Ji Shu was silent for a long time and sighed softly.
She lifted the brocade quilt and walked off the ground, pushed away Xitao who stepped forward to help her, and knelt tremblingly in front of the two of them.
Ji's father and mother's pupils trembled.
Ji Mu blurted out: "What are you..."
Ji Shu's face was full of exhaustion, he lowered himself down, put his forehead against the cold blue brick, and said softly:
"Father, mother, Shu'er has never lived for herself in this life. Please let Shu'er live for herself once."
She feels really tired sometimes.
In her previous life, she worked hard for the Hou Mansion and the Ji family. Before she got married, she was the eldest lady of the Ji family, and after she got married, she was Mrs. Wu Dinghou. She was the Qi Ji family, but she was not herself.
Ji Shu always wondered why she was so tired, and why her parents always emphasized that she should remember her identity when they called her Shu'er affectionately.
He must live up to the honor of the Ji family he was born in, repay his mother's family, help his mother's family shine, and help his husband's family prosper.
She seemed to be shackled from birth. Ji Shu gritted her teeth and resisted. She could not let go. Even if she had a chance to start over, she would try her best to contribute to the family and repay her parents for their kindness.
But if given a choice, Ji Shu just wants to be herself, and she also wants someone who doesn't make any demands on her and treats her well just because she is Ji Shu.
She just wanted to be willful for once.
A familiar robe flashed under the screen. Ji Shu calmed down a little, knelt down and said calmly:
"If my parents still don't agree, Shu'er can only do the same as my aunt. If there is a chance, I will repay my parents' kindness in the next life."
Ji's father and mother's eyes widened, "You!"
"You two bastards! You really want to push Shu Shu to death! She is your biological daughter! See if I don't beat you two cold-blooded things to death!"
Madam Qi suddenly jumped out from behind the screen, lifted up Lao Gao with the dragon's head in her hand, and whipped it on Father Ji's back.
"Ouch——"
