When she was lost in thought, Mr. Ji was still saying, "...At Ting, this kid is really interested in you. However, girl Shengge, you have been back for a few days. Have you two met? Are you right?"
What was his first impression?"
"No, Grandpa Ji."
Shengge took advantage of the situation and said, "In the past few days, I have been asking people to meet with Mr. Yu, but Mr. Yu seems to be avoiding me intentionally, so he has never met me."
Mr. Ji's expression gradually became serious, "Is there such a thing?"
He called Uncle Li, the butler, to come in and said in a deep voice, "Go and call that boy Ji Yuting over. What the hell are you doing hiding away from people!"
"yes."
Shengge always smiled, drinking tea and chatting with Mr. Ji.
Ten minutes later, Uncle Li came in.
"Old man, young master, he didn't come tonight. He said he was on a mission."
"What mission is so urgent these days that it's worth leaving his fiancée to have a cleansing party? This brat!"
Mr. Ji stamped his crutches, but he didn't want to scold her too much in front of Shengge, so he comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Shengge girl, I'll just tie him up today and get that kid here."
Shengge did not refute, and smiled very sweetly, "I listen to Grandpa Ji."
Mr. Ji looked at her lovingly, and when he turned to look at Uncle Li, his expression suddenly darkened.
"Go tell that kid Ji Yuting that if you dare not show up on time today, you will go kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights! Until your legs break!"
Uncle Li went again.
Ten minutes later, he came back to report again with a sad look on his face.
"The young master said that he knows. When he comes back from the mission in the evening, he will go to...the ancestral hall to receive the punishment."
Mr. Ji is very angry!
He would rather be punished than come to his fiancée's cleansing party. This guy is determined to go against him!
In front of Shengge, he could only bite the bullet and increase his intensity, "He's not afraid of being punished by kneeling down, right! Okay, you go tell him again, if he dares not to come, he will be punished with an additional 100 lashes!"
Uncle Li's expression changed instantly.
"A hundred lashes? Master, are you serious?"
Mr. Ji stamped his cane, turned away, and snorted without answering.
Uncle Li did not dare to pass on this order, "Old man, you know that the young master has a stubborn temper. If he is determined not to come, he will really go to the ancestral hall to receive a whip! If he really goes, he will be beaten.
Fight? If you really fight, it will be fatal!"
Mr. Ji's expression changed and he lowered his head and fell into silence.
Shengge looked back and forth at their expressions.
It sounds like this Ji family's whip training device is not simple.
A hundred whips can whip a strong man like Ji Yuting to death who came out of the army?
Mr. Ji's words have already been spoken.
In front of Shengge, he said he would not punish Ji Yuting because he couldn't get off the stage, but he couldn't really beat Ji Yuting to death.
I saw the atmosphere in the room was anxious.
Shengge knew that Mr. Ji was silent because he was waiting for her to speak.
She smiled gently and said in a soft voice: "Grandpa Ji, this whip sounds very powerful from what Uncle Li said. It's just a dust-cleansing banquet. The execution of the task is the business. Even if Mr. Yu doesn't come, it won't be a big deal.
Just don’t punish him.”
Mr. Ji patted her hand in relief and sighed repeatedly, "You are such a tolerant and generous child, but I have wronged you so much."
"It's okay, Grandpa Ji."
The more generous she behaves, the more uncomfortable she makes Mr. Ji feel.
"Don't worry, Shengge girl. Even if he doesn't come tonight, I will find a way for you to meet him! Let him apologize to you in person!"
...
The banquet is officially underway.
As soon as Shengge appeared on the stage, she attracted everyone's attention and became the center of attention.
That narcissus fringed skirt paired with her elegant and delicate makeup makes her look incredibly beautiful.
And tonight's banquet originally existed because of her.
Shengge walked onto the stage with all eyes on her, and delivered some official remarks about returning to her status as the little princess of the Lu family in a generous and decent manner.
