The cool touch between her fingers made Qing Wan curl up her fingers unconsciously, turned around, and said calmly: "Let's wait until the prince comes back from Yuncheng to talk about these things!"
A hint of disappointment flashed through Ji Lanjin's calm eyes, and then he let go of her hand and said, "Forget it, since you don't want to talk, I won't force you."
Seeing that he gave up questioning, Qingwan not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but actually felt a little disappointed.
Turning around again, just as he was about to say something, he saw that Ji Lanjin's fair face was abnormally pale, and the knuckles holding the umbrella handle were blue and white, almost transparent.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Thinking that it was only mid-July when she just touched the other person's hand, summer was not over yet, but the other person's hand felt cool. Qing Wan frowned and subconsciously wanted to get closer. However, she saw a figure older than her.
Faster, Qin Zun was behind Ji Lanjin in a blink of an eye, and called with worry: "Master?"
Ji Lanjin had a free hand, curled it slightly against her lips, coughed, and her originally fair face became even paler. But she responded calmly: "I am fine."
Qing Wan was not stupid. It could be seen from Qin Zun's reaction that Ji Lanjin was indeed feeling unwell. She couldn't help but stare at the master and servant with suspicion and said, "Did something happen on your way back?"
Before Ji Lanjin could answer, he heard Qin Zun behind him say: "When the prince and his subordinates left the capital, they found someone following us, so the prince deliberately took us by boat to Yuncheng by water. During this period
It took nearly half a month. After that, he stayed in Yuncheng for a few days to deal with most of the things. Then he quietly left the city with his subordinates and hurried back. It only took seven days on the road.
"The prince arrived in the capital this afternoon. He rushed here as soon as he entered the city. During this period, he didn't even bother to drink water. He was so tired that his old illness relapsed, which is why he was so weak." Qin Zun said these words.
, his tone was a bit harsh, clearly filled with resentment, as if he was accusing Qing Wan of being indifferent to Ji Lanjin.
"You..." Qingwan felt her throat tightening, and suddenly became speechless. She turned to look at Ji Lanjin, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
The man showed a deep love for her for no reason, which confused her. At the same time, she was afraid of getting hurt, so she never thought of handing over her true feelings.
However, no amount of unpreparation seems to be able to resist the change of a heart.
What's more, people's hearts are never under control.
Ji Lanjin opened her thin lips slightly, and her voice was low and slightly hoarse: "You don't need to feel any pressure. I am not doing this to impress you."
"What's that for?" Qing Wan looked at him closely.
Ji Lanjin didn't seem to expect that she would ask further questions. She paused and said, "I am just fulfilling my duties as a husband and son."
"You are just a son-in-law." Qing Wan reminded.
Ji Lanjin suddenly twitched her lips and said, "A son-in-law is a son-in-law." It is said that a beautiful woman can conquer a country with her smile. Qingwan suddenly felt that this statement was not an exaggeration at all.
The man in front of me is so perfect that it makes people feel ashamed.
After a while, Qing Wan suddenly walked out from under the umbrella held by Zi Su and Da Kao, walked directly to Ji Lanjin, took the umbrella from the other party's hand, and said softly, as if she was sighing: "First of all,
