Quickly wear a child: a beautiful woman with many children brings happiness

He handed the steamed bun in his hand to the prisoner: "Here, this is your food for today."

The man raised his head, the dim candlelight danced on his face, reflecting his resolute features. It was Ji Huai, who had not been heard from for a long time.

"I have been thinking about this for a long time these days. I don't understand why you arrested me. Considering that I have supported you in your studies for many years, can you please give me an explanation?"

The handsome young man's hand holding the steamed bun trembled slightly and said, "You are not wrong, but I can't let you go."

Why?" Ji Huai really didn't understand. Although he felt sorry for Ji Zhang because of his sister-in-law, he had never treated Ji Zhang unfairly in other matters.

He and Yun Yuan kept their affair extremely secret, and even the villagers didn't know about it. Logically, Ji Zhang shouldn't know about it either.

He had just arrived in the capital at that time. As soon as he showed up, before he could even express his intentions, he was arrested by Ji Zhang and his men and thrown into a secret prison.

These days he recalled everything from his childhood to his adulthood, but he couldn't figure out how he had offended Ji Zhang.

Before she died, his mother held his hand tightly and asked him to promise that no matter what happened, she would support Ji Zhang's studies even if she had to sell everything she had, otherwise she would die with regret.

Although he was dissatisfied, he still found ways to become an apprentice in a martial arts school. It was not easy at the beginning, as he ran errands and did odd jobs for others. Later, he was appreciated by his master and learned martial arts.

After his master died, he was ostracized by the new owner of the martial arts school. Even the Qingcheng Martial Arts School didn't want him, so he found another way and used all his savings to buy a restaurant, which he named Huai Shang.

His thought at the time was that he could not starve to death. As long as he had a restaurant, there was still hope, and he could not just sit there and wait to die.

Starting from the lowest-class restaurant in the city, he gradually expanded Huai Shang Restaurant into the largest restaurant in Qingcheng.

In order to ensure the novelty and freshness of the ingredients, he went to the Western Regions to discuss the wine business, went to Qiantang River to discuss the shad business, and went to Dongting Lake to purchase Junshan Silver Needle Tea... If he encountered valuable items, he would travel thousands of miles to personally escort them to ensure their safe delivery.

It can be said that every step he took was not easy, but even in the most difficult times, he never asked Ji Zhang for a penny and always supported Ji Zhang's studies.

Studying is not a simple matter. In addition to preparing basic utensils such as pen, ink, paper and inkstone, you also need to read a lot of books to increase your academic knowledge.

However, Qingcheng Academy was not top-notch, and many precious works were not included in the library. Even though these works were very expensive, as long as Ji Zhang needed them, he would spend huge sums of money to collect them for him.

There is also the family house, the betrothal money for his brother's wife, and the daily expenses after marriage...all depend on him alone.

Ji Huai felt a chill in his heart: "Are you going to lock me up here forever? If you want to kill me, at least let me die knowingly."

Ji Zhang looked at him with a complicated expression: "As long as you stay here well, I won't kill you. You shouldn't have come to me. If you had stayed in Qingcheng, I wouldn't have made things difficult for you."

Ji Huai was annoyed: "Don't talk about other things. Who am I and how did I offend you?"

Ji Zhang smiled and handed over the steamed bun in his hand: "We brothers haven't had a good chat for a long time. Let's have a good chat tonight under the dim candlelight."

Ji Huai took the steamed bun hesitantly. He only had one steamed bun a day, and he had no food to eat when Ji Zhang went out. Now he was really hungry.

But he didn't eat immediately. In the past, Ji Huai would just put down the food and leave, but this was very strange tonight.

Seeing that he was looking at him warily, Ji Zhang broke off a corner of the steamed bun and put it in his mouth, indicating that Ji Huai was not poisoned.

Ji Huai's tense nerves relaxed a little. After hesitating for a moment, he finally put the steamed bun into his mouth.

Ji Zhang placed the candlestick on the wall and sat on the floor without caring about the dirt.

"I've been out for so long, how is your family? Is your sister-in-law... okay?"

Thinking of Yun Yuan, Ji Huai's heart ached. He hadn't sent a letter back for a long time and didn't know how she was doing.

He looked at Ji Zhang deeply and said, "She is fine. Now...she is probably married."

Ji Zhang froze, thinking that Ji Huai was deliberately lying to him, and shook his head.

"Impossible. I've only been gone for a few months. She won't get married that soon."

Ji Huai: "When you left the bloody clothes behind, everyone thought you were dead. Didn't you want us to think so? Sister-in-law... is very sad, but people should look forward. There are many people pursuing her. It is normal for her to find someone to remarry. Do you have to wait for you for three years?"

"What do you mean?" Ji Zhang said dissatisfiedly, "I had such a good relationship with her before, it's not too much for her to wait for me for three years, right?"

Ji Huai seemed to be looking at a fool: "...Don't tell me you are still planning to look for Yun Yuan."

Ji Zhang: “Is it not possible?”

Ji Huai was speechless: "You left without a sound, and didn't leave any money, how did you let her live alone?"

Ji Zhang: "Aren't you still here? She's your sister-in-law, can't you take care of her for me?"

Ji Huai turned his face away: "What I do is different from what you do."

"How is it different? You're doing well out there, and you're able to give her everything I gave her before."

Ji Huai raised his eyebrows: "You mean I can do everything you can do?"

"Yes." Ji Zhang didn't think anything was wrong: "Your sister-in-law is willful, you just need to be more accommodating to her and give her more money. If her life gets better, she won't want to get married again."

He said regretfully: "But it's too late to say all this now." If possible, he would take Yun Yuan over.

Ji Huai tilted his head and muttered, "I won't feel guilty now that you said that."

Ji Zhang didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"

"Nothing." Ji Huai turned his head and looked at him directly: "How did you get to the capital?"

Ji Zhang said calmly: "I found my biological parents by chance."

Ji Huai couldn't help but ask: "Why didn't you tell Yun Yuan?"

Ji Zhang shook his head helplessly, with a trace of pain and struggle in his eyes: "Your sister-in-law is very stubborn. She wants to fight to the end with Yan Xiaoman. She will not leave with me." He looked into the darkness in the distance, as if there was something unspeakable hidden in his heart.

Ji Huai hit the nail on the head: "So you abandoned her."

Ji Zhang explained: "How can this be considered abandonment? Just give me three years and I will definitely go back to find her."

Ji Huai: "What is your identity?"

Ji Zhang said confidently: "I have my own way to avoid people's suspicion."

Ji Huai looked at him for a long time, his eyes deep, as if he was in deep thought: "Even so, why did you arrest me?"

Ji Zhang avoided his eye contact and said, "I told the princess that there was no one at home anymore. Your appearance will break my promise. I'm afraid she won't like me anymore."

Ji Huai: “That’s all?”

Ji Zhang: “That’s all.”

Ji Huai frowned tightly, not believing his perfunctory answer: "If you let me go, I promise I will never appear in front of you again."
