Father Ji took a deep breath and said, “Nonsense!”

The atmosphere became awkward for a while.

Ji Suzhi also felt something was wrong. When she saw her father's dark face, she realized that she had been a little impulsive.

"Father."

"Go back to your room immediately. It's so embarrassing to make such a fuss!"

"yes."

Ji Suzhi looked a little disappointed, she hadn't seen Tu Yufan for a long time and forgot about him for a moment, but unfortunately the current situation was not convenient.

She raised her eyes and suddenly saw Tu Yufan smiling at her. He secretly made a gesture to her with his right hand. Her mood suddenly brightened up. A smile appeared on her face. She bowed and left.

Father Ji said, "It was my daughter who was disrespectful just now."

"No, Miss Ji is innocent, romantic, and unrestrained. I admire her very much."

Father Ji was stunned for a moment before he said, "Is that so?"

It seems that the eldest son of the Jin family really likes his daughter and says things against his conscience.

After Tu Yufan left.

Ji Li was called over by Ji's father.

"Suzhi's marriage has been decided. After a while, they will come to propose marriage. It is Jin Yufan, the eldest son of the Jin family in Qiangcheng."

Ji Qi was slightly stunned, and then said: "Husband, the Jin family is far inferior to the Shangshu Mansion. Why did you refuse to marry into the Xue family and choose the Jin family instead?"

Father Ji said expressionlessly: "Xue Tang is just a dandy boy, arrogant and lustful. No matter how good the Xue family is, it has nothing to do with Xue Tang."

"I am only doing this for the good of the Ji family. The Xue family is on the rise, and the eldest son has already entered the court as an official. No matter what, Xue Tang is still the eldest son's brother, and he will always take care of him."

"You don't have to worry so much, just educate Suzhi well." Father Ji frowned. "Now is a time of trouble, the Ji family needs to keep a low profile, and His Majesty has been suppressing my request for the title of Prince."

Now the Xue family is in its heyday, and he has a large army under his command. If the two families marry, His Majesty will be even more uneasy.

Ji Li's face turned pale. Her husband actually asked the emperor to confer the title of Duke of Ji Yanwang without telling her.

Father Ji also saw what Ji Qi was thinking and said, "I am old now, and I have been living a life of greed and desperation all day long. I might die in battle any day. The Ji family must have a man to stand up, otherwise Xin Wu and Su Zhi will have no support from their mother's family."

"What support from the natal family! Xin Wu lived cautiously in the harem, but she still had a miscarriage a few days ago. Even if the husband is brave on the battlefield, he can't reach into the harem. He can only watch his daughter suffer in the harem. If she marries into the Xue family, maybe she can get some help."

Father Ji's eyebrows flashed with annoyance: "What do you know as a woman? Su Zhi's marriage is settled like this."

"In that case, I am not feeling well these days, so I am afraid I cannot arrange Su Zhi's marriage."

There was a hint of coldness in Ji's father's eyes. He worked very hard outside and didn't want to go home and see these bad things.

"In that case, you hand over the account of the mansion to Cui Huan, and you can rest well in your room during this time."

"Cui Huan was born in a poor family, how can she be in charge of the affairs of the Ji Mansion? Could it be that the husband let a concubine arrange Su Zhi's marriage?"

"She was born in a good family, and is Yan Wang's biological daughter. At worst, Aunt Mo still raised her in the mansion. She used to be my father's personal maid, helping my father manage various affairs in the mansion. Since you are not feeling well, go back and rest. You don't have to worry about these things."
