Chapter 688 688 Face, the so-called mother’s family
With Ji Yunkai's daughter here, Master Ji is not as afraid of Xiao Jiu'an as ordinary people. He can still forcefully smile when facing Xiao Jiu'an's cold eyes.
Xiao Jiu'an didn't know where Mr. Ji got his confidence, but he actually challenged him and accused him of making mistakes. He couldn't help but sneer: "Mr. Ji, you have such a big face."
He showed Ji Yun face by accompanying Ji Yun to Ji's house today, but that didn't mean that he would give Mr. Ji face.
Who is the Ji family? Is it worthy of Xiao Jiu'an's face, and worthy of Xiao Jiu'an's staying and eating?
"Wang, your lord..." Mr. Ji never thought that Xiao Jiu'an would be so disrespectful to him. His face immediately turned pale and he stammered and was speechless.
Xiao Jiuan did not give him face, and stood up directly: "I came here because of the princess's face. Apart from the princess, what else does your Ji family have that is worthy of my face?"
If Mr. Ji sincerely invites Ji Yunkai and him to return home, he will never be so disrespectful to Mr. Ji, but...
Mr. Ji always had a purpose when he invited his daughter home. Now, he must have a purpose for letting him have dinner, right?
I don’t know what kind of ecstasy the emperor gave Master Ji, so that Master Ji could fight against him without fear of death.
"Your Majesty... this, this..." Lord Ji saw Xiao Jiuan standing up and was at a loss. He quickly said to Ji Yunkai who was beside him: "Yunkai, tell the prince quickly, being a father doesn't mean that, it's just a family.
Just have a meal together."
However, Master Ji thinks too highly of himself, how could Ji Yunkai give him face?
"I don't think so. It's getting late. It's time for the prince and I to go back." Ji Yunkai didn't understand where Master Ji had the confidence to think that she would cooperate with him?
When the people of the Ji Mansion led the Imperial Guard outside the city and trampled the Yanbei Prince's face under their feet, Mr. Ji should have understood that Xiao Jiuan would not give him face.
"Yunkai..." Mr. Ji panicked when he saw that Ji Yunkai was about to leave. He took a step forward and stood in the hall: "You just came here and you are leaving now. What will happen?"
If word spreads, others will definitely think that the relationship between King Yanbei and the Ji family is not good.
He wanted to keep King Yan Bei down for dinner, but also wanted to prolong King Yan Bei's stay in Ji's house. If King Yan Bei got drunk at the dinner table, it would be better to stay at Ji's house.
As long as outsiders see that King Yanbei values the Ji family, his next errands will be easier to handle.
No matter what, he is the father-in-law of King Yanbei. Those people want to see the Buddha's face even if they don't look at the monk's face.
"If you don't want to leave, why don't you stay at Ji's house?" Ji Yunkai could guess Master Ji's intention. He just wanted Xiao Jiu'an to stay a little longer, so that he could use Xiao Jiu'an's momentum to push forward the reform of the six departments.
Let alone Xiao Jiu'an, she wouldn't cooperate with this kind of thing that harms oneself and benefits others. Master Ji thinks too highly of herself.
Ji Yunkai's words were obviously sarcastic, but Master Ji seemed not to have heard them and continued to speak: "Lan'er cannot go home after entering the palace, and Xin'er's whereabouts are unknown. If you can stay at home, then you can stay at home."
It couldn't be better."
"Ha..." Ji Yunkai laughed mockingly, ignored Mr. Ji, and turned to Xiao Jiu'an and said: "Your Majesty, the annual gift has been delivered, let's go."
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, King Yanbei accompanied the princess back to her parents' home, staying for less than two-quarters of an hour. If this matter were to spread, Lord Ji would not look good, right?
However, Ji Yunkai really couldn't sympathize with Lord Ji. If Lord Ji hadn't been too eager, Xiao Jiuan would never have been so disrespectful to Lord Ji.
I won’t eat, but I will definitely sit for a while and do my best on the surface.
"Yunkai...it's the Chinese New Year this year. You guys came so late, why don't you stay a little longer?" Mr. Ji was anxious and stood in front of Ji Yunkai.
Speaking of which, this matter is really Xiao Jiuan and Ji Yunkai's fault. It was wrong for these two people to go out of the city on New Year's Day.
In fact, people inside the city cannot leave, but people outside the city can enter. Normally, Xiao Jiuan and Ji Yunkai should have entered the city early in the morning, waiting for people from the Ji family to come to invite people, but these two people completely forgot about it.
He knew it in his heart, but Ji Yun would not admit it in his mouth: "This year is indeed my fault and the prince's fault. I thought that my father would not pick me up this year. After all, my father did not arrange for anyone to pick me up on my return day.
, I didn’t come back at that time.”
This is a fact, an unchangeable fact. Only the Ji family understands how disgusting the Ji family's actions are.
Xiao Jiu'an was unconscious at that time, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead. As a married woman, she had just married into Prince Yanbei's palace and needed support from her mother's family. But what was the Ji family doing?
Instead of asking for help, the Ji family added insult to injury and directly broke off the relationship with her. Facing such a natal family and such a family, what face did Ji Yunkai need to give to the Ji family?
She had forgotten about returning to her parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and had never thought about coming back. After all, she never had her parents' home.
"Back then, back then..." Mr. Ji was speechless after hearing Ji Yun's accusing words.
However, at this moment, Mrs. Ji answered: "What happened at the beginning... was that I didn't do it well. Your father sent someone to pick you up. It was me who made the decision to stop him and told my father that you refused.
return."
Mrs. Ji took the blame without hesitation at this time.
A flash of shock flashed in Mr. Ji's eyes, and he quickly looked at Mrs. Ji, but did not deny the matter. He only said: "This matter... we did something wrong, Yun Kai, don't take it to heart."
"Father, you are not stupid, and neither is the prince. You and I know what the situation was back then." Ji Yunkai was too lazy to deal with Master Ji and directly tore the fig leaf on his face: "Mrs. Ji can stop me once.
Can she still stop her a second time? Mrs. Ji can catch the servants going to Prince Yanbei's palace, and can she still stop you, father?"
"As a father, as a father..." Mr. Ji opened his mouth to explain, but Ji Yunkai did not give him this chance, and said: "Why did my father insist on taking me and the prince into the city today, and why did he insist on keeping us down for dinner? You,
Both I and the prince understand in our hearts that the purpose of left and right is nothing more than to promote the reform of the six departments. Father, I will leave my words here today. Don’t say we won’t stay for a long time today. Even if we stay, we will still communicate with Ji.
Let’s clean up the relationship.”
She and Xiao Jiuan will never be used as spearmen by the emperor. It is completely impossible for Mr. Ji and the emperor to use them as shields.
"Yunkai, don't talk nonsense. My father left you and the prince alone for your own good, and I miss you. You only came back once after you got married, and you never sent anyone to visit. My father is worried about you." Ji Yunkai was worried.
Broken, Mr. Ji became furious with shame, but still refused to admit it.
"Father, there are no outsiders here... Your Majesty is not an outsider either. You are taking the Forbidden Army to the other village today. Do you really think that the Prince and I don't understand?" Without the Ji family as a shield, it would be impossible for the Forbidden Army to approach the other side of Yanbei Palace.
Zhuang, let alone go in and search.
Moreover, this year's situation is special. The entire capital is under martial law. If Mr. Ji doesn't go to pick them up from outside the city and return to the city, no one will say anything.
But Master Ji still sent people to pick him up, and even brought the imperial army with him. This... was simply disgusting.
"Some things have been done, so don't be afraid of others saying goodbye. Father, let's say goodbye." Ji Yun walked around Mr. Ji and walked out... (To be continued)
