Ji Chengde was originally standing at the door of Ji Mansion, like a stone looking at his wife.
Watching Lin Wenrui's carriage gradually leave, he waved at the back of the carriage with a handkerchief, a perfect smile on his face.
That look made people extremely envious of the earth-shattering love between him and Lin Wenrui.
But when Ji Chengde saw Ji Wanrong get off the carriage, the smile on his face dropped in an instant.
"Rebellious girl! Rebellious girl! How dare you come here!!" Ji Chengde raised his eyebrows at Ji Wanrong.
I originally thought that Ji Wanrong would be the same as before and would not give him a good look, but who knew that Ji Wanrong was looking at him with a smile.
"Although Your Majesty has reduced your rank and turned the Nanyang Marquis Mansion into the Ji Mansion, Your Majesty has not said that you will not allow the noble county lord to come to the Ji Mansion?"
"You——" Ji Chengde was so angry with Ji Wanrong that he almost vomited blood.
But Ji Wanrong did not continue to taunt him, but thoughtfully helped him calm down: "Dad, actually I know I was wrong. I am here to apologize to you this time. Let's shake hands and make peace." .”
Ji Chengde felt Ji Wanrong's caring help on his back, and he trembled all over. He looked at her strangely: "Apologise? Really? Do you really want to apologize to me?"
Ji Wanrong nodded attentively: "I know I was wrong. I came here today just to make it up to you. I will take you out for a walk and let others see the deep love between our father and daughter."
Ji Chengde squinted his eyes, and then he understood why Ji Wanrong had come to him to apologize!
It must be because he heard the recent love story between himself and Lin Wenrui, and was very envious and admired his father, so he wanted to restore the relationship and become deeply affectionate with his father and daughter, so that others could also envy her.
Ji Chengde thought about it, and snorted softly from his nose, and his whole body became arrogant: "Then how will you compensate me first? Where will you take me for a walk?"
"Isn't Jing Zhaoyin's wife sick? There are many people going to visit tonight, not only the ladies from various houses, but even the eldest princess will go."
"They have all heard about the love story between you and Lin Wenrui before, and they really want to talk to you. If you go and win the favor of the eldest princess, it will definitely be helpful to your future career! By then, the position of the Marquis will be Aren’t you going to come back again?”
Ji Wanrong smiled when he said this, with a cunning expression like a cunning little fox.
"What? Are you going to the Lu Mansion too? Wen Rui also went there just now, but she said it was a group of female relatives and it was not convenient for me to go."
After hearing Ji Wanrong's words, Ji Chengde frowned slightly when he thought of Lin Wenrui's answer.
"Ah? She went but didn't take you with her? What's going on?" Ji Wanrong pretended to be surprised.
"It's not just a group of female relatives. They are also going to Mojie City tonight. What's more, you are also the person that these female relatives admire the most. When you go to Jingzhao Yin, they will be happy to welcome you!"
Ji Wanrong kept saying "you" every time. This respectful tone simply fascinated Ji Chengde.
He finally realized that it was this good daughter who wanted to introduce him to King Han and the eldest princess!
So Ji Chengde nodded with a proud expression: "Okay, you are right, then I will go with you, which can be regarded as fulfilling your filial piety!"
"Let me change my clothes first. After all, they all admire me recently."
Ji Chengde looked down at his clothes and was about to turn around and go back to change.
Ji Wanrong stopped him: "No, he is very handsome like this. If he is later, he will not be able to catch up!"
"What... can't catch up?" Ji Chengde's eyes widened, a little confused.
Ji Wanrong's lips curved into a perfect arc: "No, I mean, if you go late and some ladies leave first, they won't be able to see the idols they admire in their hearts. After all, your love story is so popular now Capital city!"
"Huh, that's natural." After hearing this, Ji Chengde raised his head and hummed proudly, put his hands behind his back, and got into the carriage with Ji Wanrong's help.
Most of the official houses in the capital were in the south of the city. Although the house in Nanyang Marquis Mansion was a little remote, the horses were very fast and they arrived at Lu Mansion in a short time.
Jing Zhaoyin seemed to be very busy today. He did not greet Ji Wanrong at the door as before. The person standing waiting for Ji Wanrong at the door was actually the eldest princess.
Ji Chengde was a little surprised when the powerful eldest princess arrived in person, but Ji Wanrong didn't look surprised.
She also called the eldest princess, and she had already told the eldest princess about the situation.
Yuan Yizhi is the daughter of a court official and a consecrated wife of the court. If Ji Wanrong's guess is true, then what Lu Zhongfeng and Lin Wenrui did, as well as the shameful secret behind Lu Zhongfeng, must be to be judged.
"Wan Rong, you are finally here. They are already waiting in the flower hall, but no owner came out to greet you. It is really embarrassing."
The eldest princess stepped forward and personally helped Ji Wanrong down.
Ji Chengde was shocked when he saw Cuo. He shakily got out of the carriage, and saw the eldest princess speaking to him kindly: "Master Ji is here too? It's been a hard journey."
Ji Chengde was flattered by the sudden concern for the eldest princess: "It's not hard, it's not hard. I am free now, and I am worried about Mrs. Lu's health, so I came to visit with my daughter."
The eldest princess smiled: "You two have a deep love as father and daughter."
A few people chatted and then arrived at the flower hall. The flower hall was very lively and there were already many ladies drinking tea and chatting inside.
Ji Chengde squinted his eyes and glanced over, finding Lin Wenrui among the ladies, but he looked several times but could not find Lin Wenrui.
Not only that, but what's even more strange is that this huge flower hall is full of official wives, but there is not even a master accompanying him. There is only an old housekeeper who laughs with him in a hurry.
Logically speaking, even if Mrs. Lu was sick and couldn't see people, Jing Zhaoyin knew that the eldest princess, Princess Han, and so many other ladies were coming today, so she should still come out to accompany her.
The ladies obviously saw Ji Chengde's figure, they shouted in surprise and hurried forward to greet him.
"Ah! It turns out that Mrs. Ji is here! We were chatting with Mrs. Ji just now. She said that she has a good husband who dotes on her alone. He doesn't even have a concubine by his side. He even gave up his power for her. We are all So jealous."
A lady said, and Princess Duan also jokingly joined in: "I didn't expect to see the real person now. I'm afraid Master Ji missed Mrs. Ji, so he chased after her eagerly, right? She has already given birth to two children. , but it’s still so gluey!”
After she finished speaking, everyone was laughing.
Ji Chengde also smiled. He enjoyed the gaze and the feeling of being discussed in the spotlight.
But he still waved his hand modestly: "I didn't come here on purpose, it was just fate. But where is Wen Rui? Where is she now? It's true, what should I do if she is such a big person and is still running around? If she gets lost?"
"Oh, you said you didn't come here on purpose? Now I'm worried! It makes me so jealous!" The lady next to her laughed again, "Mrs. Ji just said she wanted to go out for a while, probably to go to the toilet, and she came back after a while. .”
Everyone discussed for a while, but then they heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside.
Everyone turned around and saw the panicked face of Princess Chuyang. She didn't know what she encountered. Her bright little face was wrinkled, and the stirring stick on her head was crooked as she ran away.
The eldest princess frowned slightly, stepped forward and asked, "Chu Yang, what's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"
Princess Chuyang swallowed her saliva and felt everyone's gaze. She first held the stirring stick on her temples, and then spoke with a cry: "I just came from the main courtyard and suddenly heard a strange sound, like Someone is crying..."
"It's really scary... Mrs. Lu is still in the yard! I'm afraid she's in danger!"
