Quick Wear: The male protagonists all fell in love with her at first sight
Chapter 174: The Cold and Noble Prince (28)
The expression on Ji Mingjin's face froze instantly. He looked up and saw the sincere expression on Jiang Rou's face. She didn't mean to mock him. He forced a smile and then found an excuse to leave.
Ji Mingjin's mother took advantage of Princess Wenshu's pregnancy and climbed into Marquis Wu'an's bed, causing the princess to give birth prematurely. She should have bought it, but she got pregnant.
Old Madam Ji felt sorry for the baby in her belly, so she allowed her to make a decision after giving birth. So Ji Mingjin was born safely. Later, Marquis Wu'an personally poisoned Ji Mingjin's mother.
Later, Princess Wenshu became a nun, Marquis Wu'an went to the border, Ji Huaian was brought into the palace, and Old Madam Ji had no children, so she took Ji Mingjin to her side to raise him.
What Ji Mingjin envied most was his noble brother. His brother held an important position and was highly valued by the emperor, while he was an unknown person. Jiang Rou's words were very hurtful to him.
Looking at his back, Jiang Rou laughed in her heart, but her face looked a little at a loss. She looked at the untouched food, sighed slightly, and said to the maid beside her, "Forget it, these have not been touched yet, you can take them away and share them."
In order to welcome Ji Huaian back home, Old Madam Ji specially ordered a large table of dishes to be prepared. The maids and old women could not eat them on weekdays. When they heard what Jiang Rou said, a smile instantly appeared on their faces and they thanked Jiang Rou crisply.
After returning to the courtyard arranged for her by Old Madam Ji, she waved away the people around her. The maid following her slowly said, "Are you hungry? If they don't eat, you won't eat either. Aren't you stupid?" As she said this, she looked at Jiang Rou with some disappointment.
Jiang Rou took her hand and sat her down, her voice very softly saying "Sister Ning Xi, the host is not here, how can I, a guest, sit there and eat?"
When Ning Xi heard this, she thought of Ji Mingjin who left suddenly. Thinking of Ji Mingjin's expression as if he had eaten a fly, she laughed instantly.
Looking at her changing expressions, Jiang Rou was a little confused and dazed. Ning Xi saw how cute she was, pinched her face and said, "Our Rou'er is really amazing. She can make a defensive guy break down with just one sentence."
Hearing the new word from her mouth, Jiang Rou was a little confused, "What does 'broken defense man' mean?" Ning Xi explained to her, "It's the dialect in our hometown, and it means that some men have low psychological defenses." Hearing this, Jiang Rou did not ask any more questions and just nodded.
After laughing, Ning Xi thought that Jiang Rou had not eaten yet, so he stood up and said to her, "Wait a moment, I'll go to the kitchen to make you something to eat." Jiang Rou raised her little face and said okay in a sweet voice.
Jiang Rou put away the expression on her face only after Ning Xi left. Thinking of Ning Xi's identity, she curled her lips and smiled. The story seemed to be getting more and more interesting.
If you ask her why she is in the Marquis' Mansion now, the story starts from half a month ago. It might be a blessing in disguise. In order to make up for her, the Lord God gave her a fortune measuring instrument.
That day in the woods, 021 detected that there was more than one person with high luck in this world. In addition to Cui Jingyu and Ji Huaian, he unexpectedly learned that Ning Xi was also one of them.
So Jiang Rou acted out a play, and Ning Xi met her who was being chased by an assassin and fell off a cliff. Fortunately, Jiang Rou was lucky enough to fall on a bulge on the cliff.
Ning Xi saw her while collecting herbs, and since she was still alive he took her back. Jiang Rou was in a coma for two days before she woke up.
After waking up, Ning Xi and Jiang Rou unexpectedly hit it off. Ning Xi knew Jiang Rou's tragic life experience and felt sorry for her because she had no father or mother, so she followed Jiang Rou to the capital.
The two of them supported each other all the way to the capital, and she treated Jiang Rou as her own sister. She was afraid that Jiang Rou would be bullied in the back house, so she followed her into the marquis's mansion and stayed by Jiang Rou's side, treating herself as a servant.
When Jiang Rou met Ning Xi for the first time, the system told her that she was a soul from another world. Ning Xi had a hot temper and could not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. She classified Jiang Rou as one of her own and naturally protected her in everything.
So after she knew that Jiang Rou and Ji Mingjin were engaged, she investigated Ji Mingjin. After the results came out, she was dissatisfied with Ji Mingjin no matter how she looked at him, so she was very happy to see him suffer a setback.
Ji Mingjin returned to the study and locked himself in. He could no longer control his temper as he was alone, and swept everything on the table to the floor.
He looked crazy and no longer as gentle as jade as usual. Everyone liked Ji Huaian, even that old woman took it so seriously when she learned that Ji Huaian had returned. And Ji Mingjin showed filial piety to her every day, but she never even glanced at him.
His tone was sinister, "Ji Huaian, why didn't you die out there? Why do you have to fight with me for everything? Why do you have to put one over me in everything?"
In the main courtyard, Old Madam Ji looked out the window and saw that it was pitch black. Only the sound of insects could be heard. She seemed to have aged ten years. She said in a low voice, "Ruchun, do you think that if I had not accepted Liu into the mansion, would things not be like this now?"
Chunruo was Madam Ji's maid who came with her as a dowry. Hearing her master's lonely figure, she knew that her master had been blaming herself all these years.
She comforted him softly, "Miss, don't think too much. You acted with kindness in mind. It's just that Liu has impure intentions. How can you be blamed?"
Old Madam Ji said in a sad voice, "It's my fault. Lin'er always blames me for not coming back in all these years. He and the princess had such a good time back then. It's all my fault that Huai'an has been away from his parents since he was a child."
Over the years, Mrs. Ji has been blaming herself all the time. She believes that it is her fault that the family has fallen apart.
Chun Ruo hurriedly comforted him, "The Marquis is guarding the border and naturally cannot come back every time. The Prince has an important position and is inevitably busy. When he is free, he will naturally come to see you. And Young Master Mingjin has always been filial. When he gets married with Miss Jiang next year, the mansion will be lively again for a while."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Old Madam Ji shaking her head and saying, "Mingjin was raised by me, but his personality is very much like that of Liu who died early. He looks well-behaved, but in fact he is competitive. Every time I see him, I feel something sinister."
She sighed, "Arou is a good child, but Mingjin is not the right home for her. This child has suffered too much. She must have a good home for the rest of her life, but Mingjin is not her good home."
Madam Ji was exposed to the cold wind and was overly worried, so she fell ill the next day and couldn't get up. Upon hearing the news, Jiang Rou hurried over.
When she saw Chun Ruo, she hurriedly asked, "Mammy, how is the old lady? Is she feeling better?" Seeing that her hair was a little messy and her expression was slowly showing worry, Chun Ruo thought to herself that Jiang Rou was a person who knew how to be grateful.
Chun Ruo shook her head and said in a worried tone, "She has a high fever and is in a daze. She is still calling the prince's name. The doctor is treating her and the prince just rushed back." Her eyes became red as she spoke.
Hearing this, Jiang Rou's eyes also turned red. She wiped her tears to hide the amusement in her eyes. She said softly, "The old lady misses the prince, so I won't disturb her. I will come to see her later." After saying this, she bowed to Chunruo and left.
Chun Ruo looked at Jiang Rou's back and just turned around, she ran into Ji Huaian who came out. Ji Huaian said in a light voice, "Who was outside just now?"
Chun Ruo answered respectfully, "It was a marriage that the old lady arranged for the second young master a few years ago, and he just came to the mansion a few days ago."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Ji Huaian's eyes when he heard that. He nodded slightly and no longer cared. He had just heard a voice that sounded very similar to Jiang Rou's. Ji Huaian laughed at himself.
