Chapter 158 Shit Shell Man Wears a Mask - Shameless
Ji Xiurong lowered her head to hide the surprise in her eyes.
She just heard the young lady say...
that she was entangled with the Sixth Prince in order to avenge her brother?
That means...
her brother will be involved with the Sixth Prince, and will be killed by him...
How is it possible?
My brother has converted to Buddhism for many years, how could he make friends with the nobles in the palace?
The young lady also said that the Sixth Prince would be attracted to her...
So I think the target the young lady gave her is the Sixth Prince!
She secretly clenched her fists and thought:
Although I don’t know why I can hear the young lady’s inner thoughts.
But the young lady has the support of Master Wujing who knows the future, so what she said must be true!
She must protect her brother from being killed by the Sixth Prince!
Jiang Zhiyu saw Ji Xiurong lowering her eyes and not saying a word, and thought she was too uncomfortable to vomit.
Turning around, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his cat-head purse and handed it to Ji Xiurong.
"This is for anti-nausea. If you really feel uncomfortable, take one pill. Don't force yourself."
Ji Xiurong came back to her senses, took the small medicine bottle, and showed gratitude again.
"Thank you, Third Miss."
Jiang Zhiyu patted her hand gently, feeling pity.
[If she hadn't been poisoned by her vicious stepmother, how could she have suffered so much, and her brother wouldn't have become a monk at such a young age. ]
Ji Xiurong listened to Jiang Zhiyu's thoughts silently and nodded gently.
Thinking of the pain and torture she had suffered for so many years, her eyes were red.
[Although Ji Xiurong is not a biological child of the Ji family, her former adoptive mother was not bad to her, at least she didn't beat or scold her! ]
Ji Xiurong heard this and tightened the medicine bottle in her hand.
What?
Her father... never told her that she was not his biological daughter?
Ji Xiurong raised her eyes eagerly, wanting to hear Jiang Zhiyu talk about her life experience.
Jiang Zhiyu did think about it, but...
[However, the original plot did not elaborate on Ji Xiurong's life experience in detail, but just mentioned that she was a girl picked up by Ji's father from the back mountain.]
Ji Xiurong's eyes revealed a hint of loss.
I thought that I could meet my biological parents in my lifetime...
[But her adoptive father should know some clues, such as where he picked her up, and whether she had any tokens on her when he picked her up!]
Ji Xiurong heard this, but felt uneasy.
How should I ask?
After all, she hadn't seen her father for almost five years since her brother became a monk and she was kicked out by her stepmother.
Jiang Zhiyu didn't notice her worry and was still resentful.
[And that vicious stepmother, I'll teach her a lesson! Give Xiurong a vent!]
Ji Xiurong was not happy to hear this.
Daddy likes the stepmother, and she doesn't want them to argue because of her.
What's more...
she is not Daddy's child at all.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly spoke up to stop Jiang Zhiyu from wanting to find out her life experience.
"Miss San treated Xiurong's face. It's a great favor. Xiurong has no way to repay it. I dare not trouble Miss San anymore. Xiurong will leave the house on her own."
Jiang Zhiyu frowned slightly when she heard this.
"If you live here, it will be convenient for me to take care of you!"
Ji Xiurong shook her head.
"Xiurong will apply the medicine given by the young lady on time. But everyone will know that Xiurong went to see a doctor but returned in vain."
Is she afraid that others will know their relationship?
Although Jiang Zhiyu didn't care, this was a conspiracy and she was not afraid of others seeing through it.
However, she was really moved that Ji Xiurong had such thoughts.
Once again, she sighed that she had chosen the right person!
Seeing that Jiang Zhiyu just looked at her but didn't say anything.
Ji Xiurong hurriedly explained:
"Miss, don't worry, Xiurong will definitely go to the martial law ceremony!"
Jiang Zhiyu believed her and nodded firmly.
"Since you have made up your mind, then go back first! Wait until the black and red on your face fades and the scars disappear, then come to the clinic to find me."
"...Yes."
Ji Xiurong was puzzled. Wouldn't this expose their relationship?
She was worried that the Sixth Prince would take precautions after finding out.
But her trust in Jiang Zhiyu made her nod in agreement.
Leave the house at night.
The reason for this was not only because she was worried that Jiang Zhiyu's plan would fail.
More importantly, she was in a hurry to go back and remind her brother -
never get involved with anyone in the palace and risk his life!
Jiang Zhiyu took leave and stayed at home to discuss matters concerning the ceremony with her eldest brother.
Five days passed in a row, and there was no news from Ji Xiurong at the clinic.
She couldn't help but worry.
According to the plan, the black and red on her face should have faded in three days!
In five days, the scars should have disappeared.
Unable to sit still any longer, she took Zhuying and headed straight to Yuhua Mountain according to the tip.
The tip was accurate, and Jiang Zhiyu found the thatched cottage in the book in a short time.
After getting off the carriage, she saw the simple courtyard and couldn't help but smack her lips.
Xiurong is really a good girl, for her little beauty plan.
She gave up the high-class mansion and returned to the wild mountains to live alone.
If you can endure loneliness, you will surely be able to keep prosperity!
Just as she was about to step inside, Jiang Zhiyu heard shouting and cursing from inside the door.
"You little bastard! You have money to treat illnesses, but no money to build a house for my son? Where did you hide the money? Tell me!"
Then there was the dull sound of being hit by a stick.
Along with Xiurong's screams of pain, each sound stimulated Jiang Zhiyu's nerves!
It was obvious who the sarcastic old woman was.
Jiang Zhiyu was not vague either. He picked up the shoulder pole beside the door and strode in.
[If you dare to touch me, I think you are tired of living! ]
She strode so fast that Zhuying couldn't catch up with her even if she jogged.
"Miss! Miss, slow down! Be careful!"
Be careful?
I think she is the one to be careful!
He kicked the thin wooden door open.
The old woman who was waving a stick inside the door and Ji Xiurong who was knocked to the ground were both shocked.
"You... who are you? How dare you intrude... ah——"
Jiang Zhiyu didn't say a word, stepped forward and kicked the bloated peasant woman away!
[You will die knowing who I am!]
"Miss..."
Ji Xiurong was grateful for Jiang Zhiyu's friendship and support.
But when she heard her inner voice and saw her fierce eyes, she was still panicked. She
hurriedly blocked Jiang Zhiyu's way.
"Miss! Miss, calm down..."
Jiang Zhiyu came back to her senses and saw her face.
Her skin had almost recovered, no longer red and swollen, and returned to its normal color.
But when she saw the sudden slap mark on her face, she became even more furious. She
picked up the baton and was about to step forward again.
The old woman wanted to scold her, but she saw that she was dressed gorgeously and was accompanied by maids and servants.
Then she lost her temper, and kept shrinking behind Ji Xiurong, groaning.
Seeing Ji Xiurong standing in front of the old woman, Jiang Zhiyu cursed angrily:
"She beats you and abuses you, and you still protect her? I will beat this rotten old cabbage to death today!"
"Miss, Miss, calm down... After all, she is my mother in name."
Ji Xiurong knelt in front of Jiang Zhiyu.
[Mother? She didn't give birth to you and raise you, what kind of mother is she! ]
[To extort money from you for the son you brought up is just like a scumbag wearing a mask - shameless! ]
[Only you have a good temper, can you stand the anger of this disgusting old woman! ]
Jiang Zhiyu's curse made Ji Xiurong feel wronged and depressed, and she couldn't raise her head for a while.
Zhuying Xianzhen also hurried over and whispered to Jiang Zhiyu:
"Miss, don't get involved in a murder lawsuit before the pawn shop!"
