Chapter 722: Strategy for the Blind Villain (18)

When the eunuch who read the imperial edict of marriage entered the room, Master Qu's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

However, when the eunuch finished reading the imperial edict of marriage, Master Qu's heart broke.

His precious daughter was actually married to Ji Jingrong, a blind man, by the emperor. The thing he had been trying to prevent finally happened.

The blood in his body froze, and his straight back showed signs of bending.

When Ji Jingrong was his son, he could guarantee that he would have no worries about food and clothing, and he could also guarantee that he would find a daughter of an ordinary family to take care of him until he was old. But the person who could take care of him was his own precious daughter, how could he bear it? Shi

Yi was not surprised at all, and calmly accepted the imperial edict of marriage.

For her, it was better to marry Ji Jingrong than to marry a scholar she was not familiar with. At least Ji Jingrong would treat her well because of the relationship they had.

After the marriage, Master Qu fell ill again.

One day, Ji Yun came to visit him at night. She knew that it was not right to ask the emperor to change the marriage. But Ji Jingrong was her biological son. It was a rare request for him to make. How could she, as a mother, not fulfill it? When

Master Qu saw her, his face turned unhappy. "Now, everything is as you wish."

Ji Yun had a bitter smile on her face. "Although Jingrong entered the palace as a prince, his biological mother has always been a mystery. I am a taboo that cannot be mentioned." She felt that she was already very greedy. She had been looking forward to her son's restoration of his legitimate identity. If her son recognized her as his mother again, she felt that it was unjust. However, she was still unwilling.

"Shi Yi is only sixteen years old. He will have to stay in the deep palace with Ji Jingrong for the rest of his life. How can you be so cruel?" Master Qu sighed deeply.

He should have known that Ji Jingrong had inherited the thief nature of his biological father and had ill intentions towards his "sister". He only hated himself for waking up too late and not marrying off his daughter earlier.

"You don't have to worry about Shiyi's future life. I think it's not a bad thing for these two children to be together." Ji Yun wanted to comfort him, but it triggered his deeper worries.

"A good thing? Your son is born blind. He can't even take care of himself. How can he take care of my precious daughter?" Seeing the straightforward sadness on her face, Master Qu felt that his words were a bit harsh. He changed his tone and sighed, "Wanhua, you and I are both parents, and we naturally consider our own children. If you were me, would you be willing to marry the daughter you raised with great effort to a man who was born blind? Needless to say, you would not want to do that either."

"Father, why don't you ask for my opinion?" A tender but firm female voice came from behind the two of them, and they turned their heads to look at the same time.

Shi Yiyi stood beside the Ru kiln vase in a pink and white dress, her face bright, "Father, I am willing to marry Ji Jingrong."

"You silly child." Master Qu closed his eyes in pain, "Do you think you are marrying to enjoy happiness? You will suffer a lot if you marry into the royal family." Ji Jingrong's current status is not stable at all. Many people are staring at his "biological mother" and looking for evidence.

"But my daughter is willing." Shi Yiyi stood there, looking at the beautiful middle-aged woman with tears in her eyes.

"Good child, you are worthy of being Jingrong's favorite. Jingrong was right about this child." Ji Yun held her hand, patted it again and again, but still couldn't express her love in her heart. After thinking about it, she took off the red agate bracelet on her right hand and put it on her hand, "If you don't mind, take it. This is my favorite jewelry when I was young."

"Shi Yi likes this gift from the princess very much."

"I like it. I like it." Ji Yun returned to her original position, raised her sleeves and wiped her eyes fiercely a few times, and said embarrassedly, "I was a little out of control today."

Her son was able to find someone who was sincere to him. As a mother, she was really satisfied.

"The princess, go back first. Mingzhu still has something to say to your daughter." Taifu Qu's face was tired and solemn. His daughter's temperament was exactly like his late wife. She would not listen to his words. But he still had to give instructions.

"Sorry to bother you. I'll go back first." Ji Yun looked at Shi Yi deeply for several times, and she really liked her more and more.

After leaving the Taifu Mansion, she sat in her sedan chair and cried out loud.

Over the years, she has been living cautiously, fearing that she would bring any negative influence to her son who lives in the Taifu Mansion. It is also for this reason that there is no news of her and Qu Mingzhu going out in public.

Although the emperor remembers their past affection, he is always moody and difficult to guess his intentions. In order to protect herself and her son, she dare not make him unhappy.

She has been living on thin ice. Sometimes she doesn't understand why she is living. Wouldn't it be all over if she died? Until this moment today, she had a new understanding.

"Kneel down." Master Qu's face was solemn. "I was talking to a guest. Who allowed you to eavesdrop? Have you learned all the etiquette?"

Shi Yi stood up straight and said stubbornly: "My daughter was wrong to eavesdrop, but what she said was not wrong. My daughter just wants to marry Ji Jingrong and become a prince's consort."

"When did you become so vain? I don't know when Ji Jingrong's status as a prince will be gone. How will you deal with it then?" Master Qu knew that his daughter, who grew up under his nose, was not such a person, but she deliberately said such words to anger him as a father in order to marry Ji Jingrong, which made him even more angry.

It is said that girls are extroverted. He didn't understand it before, but now he fully understands it.

"I will live the same life as Ji Jingrong." Shi Yi insisted on his choice.

"Don't regret it!" Master Qu angrily pushed over the Chinese medicine at hand.

Shi Yi looked at the black liquid spreading to the ground, her eyes still determined, "My daughter will never regret it!"

"Get out." Master Qu pointed at the door, his beard pointing straight to the ground, as if he was on the verge of losing his temper.

"Father, take good care of yourself. Your daughter will come to pay her respects tomorrow." Shi Yi knew that he was angry and didn't want to make him angry anymore. The emperor's imperial decree of marriage had been read out, and her marriage to Ji Jingrong was a fait accompli that could not be changed.

What she didn't know was that after she left, Master Qu reversed his previous attitude and sighed slowly.

His daughter was stubborn and would not change her mind about something she had decided on. All he could do was to strengthen her determination.

The current emperor has few children, and only has Ji Yucheng as his capable son. Once Ji Yucheng dies, the other princes are all mediocre and useless, and are not worth worrying about at all.

If he gives it a try, Ji Jingrong might really be able to sit on the throne.

Qu Mingzhu can be wronged, but his daughter cannot. His daughter must be the most noble woman in the world.
