”Master Hou, you're leaving tomorrow. Eldest Miss can't bear to part with you. Look at Eldest Miss's unblinking eyes. In the end, it's father and daughter's heart that are linked. Truly, this is moving.”

An Su stared at the battle of Ji and thought about the question until the voice of the Sixth Madame sounded before she turned away and looked down.

The duke of Yongning's heart warmed as he thought about what he had said in the evening. He took a crystal hoof and placed it into An Su's bowl, ”Don't worry dad, dad will be back soon, but you've lost a lot of weight these days. In the future, you should eat more and recover early so that your big brother won't feel sorry for you when he comes back.”

”Brush ~ ~ ~”

Everyone at the banquet looked at An Su at the same time. Countless pairs of eyes were filled with anticipation, resentment, jealousy, envy, and patience. Most of them were apathetic, waiting to see a good show.

It was as if everyone was waiting for her to toss the meat out of the bowl in disdain.

And then, Yongning waiting for the right moment to go berserk.

An Su looked down at the bowl of meat wrapped in thick sauce. There was no reaction. Someone beside her pulled on her clothes. An Su raised her head. It was Ji Shaotan, who sat at the seat of honor.

Young Master Ji looked at her and then at the meat in her bowl.

He signaled with his eyes for her to eat.

There was a blush on the young man's bashful face. An Su noticed that his hands were a little stiff, and he almost withdrew his hands before she could raise her eyes.

He was clearly afraid that they would rush over and this Ji Shaotan was actually quite interesting. Logically speaking, he was the eldest son of the Ji clan and was even more powerful than Ji Shaomeng.

He was an Elementary Scholar at the age of thirteen, and he went out for a stroll at the age of fourteen. Last year, he was sent to Nanshan Academy by the matriarch for more than half a year, and when he returned to the imperial capital at the beginning of the year, he was recommended to the Crown Prince by Ding Shou. From the looks of it, he was going to leave the Imperial examinations and enter the imperial court.

Was it because of Lin Yanbai that he became such a good person?

An Su declined to comment. She turned her head and picked up the chopsticks, taking the meat with her. Under everyone's disappointed gaze, she slowly put it into her mouth, chewed and swallowed, then took another handful of vegetables and put it into Yongning's bowl.

He didn't think that his elder sister would listen to his words, much less when she had become so lethal. Only the heavens would know that she had looked at time with the same expression in her eyes, causing him to be unable to move.

On the contrary, Ji Ninefire was rather flattered by Ji Shaotan's puzzlement.

”Alright, alright. What are you waiting for? Can it be that you're going to be full just by watching me eat?”

His face was solemn, his rough voice trembling with a hint of hoarseness. He took all the vegetables and put them into his mouth and chewed them in large mouthfuls. The sound of the old cow chewing hay was as ear-piercing as a thunderclap to Lady Liu's ears.

She had spent a lot of effort to make these two father and daughter pair suffer from fire and water, but now this was the tempo of their relationship breaking through ice. After all these years of painstaking effort, her heart was on fire, and she couldn't help but smile decently.

Especially after seeing Elder Ji's satisfied expression as well as that enchanting face of the Sixth Madame, Mrs Liu hated him so much that she clenched her teeth tightly.

Ji Yanran covered her arms as tears fell into sher bowl. She had lost all her face because of the embarrassing incident, so not only did her father not comfort her after returning to the manor, he even taught her a lesson. But not only was this slut not punished, but he even gave her food.

Why was he doing this?

Was there anything that Ji Yanran couldn't match up to? Why did everyone favor her? Even if she committed a huge mistake and caused a huge disaster, her father and grandmother would still tolerate her. She was also their daughter … .Why was their granddaughter treated like this?

Ji Yanran's heart began to twist with hatred.

However, what she didn't know was that after the incident had occurred, the Netherworld Priest had returned to the manor to report everything that had happened during the battle. How could the two of them not investigate? At that time, Matriarch Ji had ordered all the guards to capture Liu Mengyun's personal maid and force her to reveal everything within half an incense stick of time.

If not for the fact that she had provoked An Su, she would not have been dealt with by An Su.

Her plan with Liu Mengyun to incite the students to join hands to frame An Su was undoubtedly a good one, but it was a pity that she was too eager to make a fool out of herself. In the end, everything was her fault. The reason that Ji Zhan didn't make it clear was because she felt guilty towards her mother and son, and because he saw that she was injured and wanted to give her some face, he didn't give her any heavy punishment.

However, Ji Yanran's dissatisfaction with An Su had accumulated so much over a long period of time. Not only did she not realize that Ji Zhan and Matriarch Ji had gone through so much, but she also thought that they had treated each other unfairly.

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat quiet.

Ji Shaoyu reached out to hold Lady Liu's hand and tugged on Young Master Ji's sleeve. After blinking her eyes, she extended her hand to give Ji Zhan a piece of meat. ”Father, this is your favorite Red Braised Meat …”

”Also, I remember that this crystal dumpling is father's favorite food, so you have to eat more. I wish you good luck in the border pass and come back early to reunite with Grandmother and us.” Only after giving a crystal dumpling to Old Lord Ji did Young Master Ji pass it over to him. A smile was plastered on his chubby face, and a trace of kindness leaked out of Ji Zhan's solemn face.

”Your son offers father a toast as well …”

With these two starting the match, Ji Zhan's face was obviously satisfied. The other concubines were also showing their satisfaction. Everyone came back with dishes and wine to toast each other.

It was a pleasant sight.

Only An Su and Ji Shaotan remained silent as they ate. Ji Shaotan returned An Su's food to her mouth a few times. An Su looked at him weirdly. She did not refuse, but ate up all the food.

When the banquet was over, he ate his fill. However, An Su was in no hurry to return. He dismissed his servant girl and walked alone in the garden to eat. However, he didn't want to meet Ji Shaotan, who had yet to return to the courtyard.

An Su didn't stop to walk over, but Ji Shaotan caught sight of her with her sharp eyes. She was stunned for a moment, then jumped down from the fake mountain rock and walked towards her without hesitation.

”Elder sister, you haven't rested so late at night?”

”What's the matter?”

An Su was the opposite of the young man. Ji Shaotan was blushing slightly because he had drank a few cups of wine, but he was not drunk. At most, he looked a little sullen. The young man's eyes were bright, obviously worried for An Su, but he did not know where she came from. According to her knowledge, their relationship could not be considered good, and Ji Huaguang had never faked anything, so it could be said that she was disgusted.

Of course, this didn't include the achievements that Mrs Liu had brought him up to date.

”Nothing, I just feel like elder sister is different.”

Ji Shaotan paused before continuing, ”Big Sis listening to Big Brother's advice to break off the engagement is actually a good thing. I also feel that the Sixth Prince is not a person that big Sis can rely on for her entire life. In my opinion, big Sis is is worth a better person.”

A light flashed in An Su's head. ”Was it you who sent the letter?”

”This …”
