C159 (1/2)

The inner courtyard of the Ji Mansion, after passing through a corridor that was twisted with twists and turns as if there was no end in sight, and passing through an arch where the glazed roof tiles hung with flowers, was the room belonging to the Fourth Miss of the Ji Mansion, Ji Lingyun.

The Fourth Miss of the Ji Mansion, Ji Lingyun, was the youngest daughter of the Main Office's President, Lord Ji. Master Ji had been married to the Madam for many years, and Ji Lingyun could be considered an old daughter.

Now, Ji Lingyun was kneeling in the middle of her room with tears and mucus flowing down her face, ”Mother, my daughter is going to marry him!”

The one seated in front of her, was the Mrs. Ji. Mrs. Ji placed the cup in his hand down and quickly pulled his daughter up: ”All you have to do these past few days is think it out!”

”My daughter has really made up her mind this time!” Ji Lingyun refused to get up, and laid on Mrs. Ji's knees, ”If I can't marry him, my daughter, my daughter will die!”

”Nonsense!”

Before Mrs. Ji could reply, the door to his room was kicked open by someone. Ji Luo Yu's face was filled with anger as he walked forward and pointed at Ji Lingyun: ”A few days ago, I was about to die and marry that poor student. Your mother and I have just promised you, and in the blink of an eye, you're going to marry into the Seventh Prince again! ”

”Then, that Seventh Prince is someone you can marry whenever you want to?” Ji Luoyu angrily paced around the room, ”Besides, what about the Du Family? You have already agreed with that Du Jing and set a date! Ji Lingyun, do you still want a reputation? Do you still want to show your face to the Ji Clan? ”

Ji Lingyun extended a hand and wiped away her tears, ”Then who is Du Jing to begin with? If I don't marry him, he won't dare to force me to marry him! When they become in-laws, they can leave each other. We're just talking about it. We don't have a nuptial ceremony, so why must he do it? ”

”Say it again …” Ji Lingyun turned her body, ”Don't think that I don't know. In the past, the Empress loved to pass her mother down to the palace, all for the sake of asking for a marriage for her son …”

”Before?!” Hearing this, Ji Luo Yu became even angrier, ”You still have the face to bring up the past!? ”If you had happily married your mother when she told you to, you would have long been the Seventh Imperial Consort!”

Ji Luo Yu stomped his foot. ”Do you think it is now or not? Not only was the Seventh Prince not stupid, she had also made a huge contribution. In the whole capital, which daughter did not want to marry her? It's your turn? Don't you look in the mirror! ”

Hearing that, Ji Lingyun's mouth congealed, and immediately she was on the verge of crying.

She knew that her mother cared for her the most, so she forced herself to cry.

As expected, Mrs. Ji hurriedly pulled Ji Lingyun into her embrace, and berated Ji Luo and Luo Yu, ”How dare you! Is that what you call your daughter? ”

”What happened to Seventh Prince? Who knows if his old illness will recur in the future? Our daughter is a direct descendent of the Shang Shu Manor, she's compatible with his Seventh Prince, she's also compatible with him! ” The Mrs. Ji turned his head, ”She's from the assistant minister's house next door, leading her daughter to the palace everyday, but there's no movement from the empress's side. She must not have taken a fancy to that Zhu Shishi.”

”In terms of looks and talent, Zhu Shishi is far worse than our Yun'er. If I were to bring Yun'er to meet Empress one day, maybe this marriage would work!” Mrs. Ji said softly.

”You have spoiled Yun Er's arrogance and willfulness!” Ji Luo flicked his sleeve and left in anger.

Mrs. Ji rolled his eyes, then tightened the embrace of her daughter: ”Ignore him, tomorrow Mother will ask the best rouge shop in the capital to send you some ointment, I'll deliver it to the palace in a while!”

”No mother, afternoon! In the afternoon, get someone to send rouge to the residence. Tomorrow morning, we will enter the palace to pay our respects to Empress! ” Ji Lingyun acted like a spoiled child, coaxing Mrs. Ji into nodding her head.

After the Mrs. Ji left, Ji Lingyun immediately brought the servant out of the residence. She thought that with Linlang Workshop's famous dim sum, the Empress would often stay in the palace and would naturally not be able to eat it. She decided to buy two servings of dessert tomorrow and bring them to the palace for the Empress to eat.

As he happily sat on the palanquin, he walked out of Xiao Wei Alley, and the palanquin suddenly stopped, causing Ji Lingyun to unsteadily hit the walls of the palanquin. His brows immediately furrowed: ”What's going on, the palanquin can't even lift it steadily anymore? We'll change you guys when we get back! ”

”Miss!” The maid's voice came from the window, ”Miss, it's Young Master Du!”

Ji Lingyun's frown deepened, ”Du Jing came? What is he doing? ”

As he spoke, he lifted the green silk curtain and looked out. He saw Du Jingli standing in front of the palanquin.

Du Jinglei looked up and saw her as well. He quickly ran over to the window and said, ”Master, you …” You won't marry me? ”

Ji Lingyun did not answer Du Jingli's question. Instead, she impatiently said to the sedan bearer: ”Hurry up and leave!”
