Wishful Things

The little servant girl observed for a while in fear, and made sure that her girl was not laughing back from grief, nor did she show signs of becoming delirious due to stimulation, so she dared to continue talking.

And as he talked, he gradually put away the hesitation and intolerance in his initial tone because he was infected by the happy mood of his own girl.

Ji Wanyou heard the rumors that the little maid had inquired from various sources, and couldn't help but feel that it would be a pity to drink tea alone.

So, when Ji Xiu came over, what he saw was the quiet scene of his daughter sitting, drinking tea and eating snacks.

"Father is not in good health yet, why did you come to my daughter?" Ji Wanyou got up to greet her, and helped her father to sit down in the chair.

Ji Xiu suffered a lot from returning to Beijing from the Lingshan Palace to being detained in Dali Temple. He just returned home these two days and has been taking medicine to recuperate.

"Come and see you..."

Looking at his daughter with a smile in his eyes, Ji Xiu couldn't help hesitating.

He thought that his daughter should have heard the news of Zhan Yunzhu's death, and he was worried that this girl would be overwhelmed, so he hurried over.

But now it seems that the daughter has obviously never heard of it...

For a while, he didn't know whether to tell his daughter about it or keep it a secret for now.

Sensing his father's hesitation, Ji Wanyou didn't sit down, but stood beside him, and said, "Father wants to talk about Zhan Yunzhu's self-immolation? My daughter already knows about it."

Ji Xiu was very surprised.

Already know?

I already know, can I still sit here and eat and drink? !

Good guy, is this still his daughter?

"It was the daughter who was blindfolded before, so she couldn't hear what her father said." Ji Wanyou said shamelessly, "I almost put my father in danger because of this..."

Ji Xiu was both surprised and delighted.

So his daughter has figured it out?

Even though Zhan Yunzhu was dead, there would be no disturbances anyway, but if the daughter hadn't given up, she would have to be sad about it - no father wants to see his child sad.

"My daughter was deceived by him before, and when she came to her senses, she immediately gave up. She wanted to harm her father and our Ji family. My daughter wished that he would be punished sooner."

What she likes is only the illusion carefully piled up by the other party. When she realizes that that person does not exist, when she looks at Zhan Yunzhu again, she will only regard it as an enemy.

Just now when she suddenly heard that he died, there was a moment of unresponsiveness and a flash of pain in her heart—but she knew very well that the short pain was not because of this beast, but because the illusion that made her give her sincerity disappeared along with it.

But since it is an illusion, there is nothing worth nostalgic about.

Ji Xiu nodded with satisfaction: "Father already knows that Wan'er has always been the smartest, and there will always be a day when she will see clearly."

However, seeing his daughter's appearance, he is obviously very sure that Zhan Yunzhu secretly harmed him...

"Speaking of which, how did Wan'er know that Zhan Yunzhu was going to harm her father? Was it the secret letter that was forged and used to frame her father?"

To be honest, he was only skeptical without sufficient evidence.

In the palace, it was said on the spot that Zhan Yunzhu copied it, but in fact it was just out of irresponsible intuition.

And if it were the usual, Wan'er would not believe it at all after hearing this, and would even say that he had a prejudice against the surname Zhan——

So, how did Wan'er determine it?

If it weren't for the ironclad evidence, what she saw with her own eyes might not be enough to convince her.

"You all go outside and watch."

After Ji Wanyou pushed the maid back, she just told her father exactly what happened in the palace at that time.

As he spoke, he reached out and took off the purse that was still hanging on his father's waist.

This thing that almost harmed my father was still treated like a treasure by my father.

"..." After hearing these words, Ji Xiu was amazed.

He didn't know that the dog surnamed Zhan set up such a trap behind his back!

Ji Wanyou took the scissors from the sewing basket at the side, cut the purse into pieces a few times, and said with a guilty conscience: "In the future, my daughter will embroider you a better one. You are also a person of status, so you should match it with a better material..."

"Okay." A smile appeared in Ji Xiu's eyes, and he didn't want to turn over the old score with his daughter. His daughter was also the one who was cheated, and she was already vigilant enough.

"So this time it's thanks to Ms. Xu. If it wasn't for Ms. Xu's help, I'm afraid..." Ji Wanyou stopped abruptly when she said this, she didn't say anything unlucky, and only used "you understand" eyes as a substitute.

Speaking of this, the smile in Ji Xiu's eyes disappeared again, replaced by a complex look.

He was beaten by Duke Zhen not long ago, and the big shoe prints on his chest disappeared not long ago. He secretly vowed that as long as he had the opportunity, he would make the Duke of Zhen look good-this idea has not been implemented yet. If he can't co-author revenge, he still has to repay his favor?

But seeing that his daughter was still waiting for his statement, he could only say: "I, Ji Xiu, have always been clear about grievances and grievances in my actions, so I will make a note of this matter."

After listening to her father's words, Ji Wanyou thought about it, but she didn't say the ruthless words of the girl from the Xu family, "I won't be able to use your house to make things happen in the future"...

She sat down in a chair beside her, and asked the most worrying thing in her heart: "Did father ever think about who Zhan Yunzhu is doing for him by framing his father?"

Mentioning this, Ji Xiu's eyes gradually turned cold.

"Who else...Even if it's Xia Tingzhen's trick, it's impossible to hide it from the emperor."

The murderer is the king of Xiang, the emperor is afraid that he will know it early in the morning.

It's just that the emperor must have never thought of the real purpose behind the murder of the Queen Mother by the King of Xiang at first, until the matter of King Xiang's collusion with the enemy was revealed after returning to Beijing...

"Then... will the emperor attack father again?"

Ji Xiu thought about this question many times over the past two days.

At this time he replied: "I shouldn't for the time being. I was almost slandered this time, but I was seen by civil and military officials and the common people. If something happened to me as Minister of the Ministry of War again, it would definitely attract courtiers' speculation and cause people's hearts to be unstable. It's a troubled time right now... I think as long as I pretend to be ignorant and don't expose this matter, our Ji family will be safe for the time being."

However, it is only temporary.

And after this incident, while his heart was chilling, a thought could not help appearing in his mind these few days...

The emperor can choose to attack him without hesitation, is it really just because he has the motive to poison the queen mother?

...

The next day, after the first rain, the air was cool and pleasant.

It has been raining for several days in a row in central Beijing, and the old camphor tree outside the Xuesheng Tea House is covered with shade, as if washed by the rain, it has become more and more green. The morning sun shines, and the leaves sway gently in the wind, and the leaves are golden.

In the hall, Ah Kui, who was leaving tomorrow, was talking with Shou Ming.

Shou Ming handed a box to her: "You take this..."

"what is this?"

Thank you Qinghan for your reward, and thank you for your monthly pass.

Good night.
