Ji Xiurong lowered her head to hide the surprise in her eyes.
She just heard the lady say...
Did he want to avenge his brother and only then was he pestering the Sixth Prince?
This means...
My brother will be involved with the Sixth Prince, and he will kill him...
How is that possible?
My brother has been a Buddhist for many years, so how could he have made friends with the nobles in the palace?
The young lady also said that the Sixth Prince would be attracted to her...
Then I guess 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 could hear the 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 and not let him be killed by the Sixth Prince!
Jiang Zhiyu saw Ji Xiurong with her eyes downcast and silent, and thought she was in great pain from vomiting.
He turned around and took out a small porcelain bottle from his cat-head purse and handed it to Ji Xiurong.
"This is an anti-nausea pill. If you feel really bad, just take one. Don't try to bear it."
Ji Xiurong finally came back to his senses, took the small medicine bottle, and showed gratitude again.
"Thank you, Miss Third."
Jiang Zhiyu patted her hand gently, feeling pity for her.
If she hadn't been poisoned by her vicious stepmother, she wouldn't have suffered so much, and her brother wouldn't have become a monk at such a young age.
Ji Xiurong listened silently to Jiang Zhiyu's thoughts and nodded slightly.
Thinking of the pain and torture I have suffered over the years, my eyes became red.
[Although Ji Xiurong was not a biological child of the Ji family, her adoptive mother was not bad to her. At least she didn't beat or scold her!]
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiurong 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 tell her life story.
Jiang Zhiyu did think about it, but...
However, the original plot did not elaborate on Ji Xiurong's background, only briefly mentioning her as a girl picked up by Ji's father from the back mountain.
There was a hint of loss in Ji Xiurong's eyes.
I thought I could see my biological parents in my lifetime...
[But her adoptive father should know some clues, such as where he found her and whether she had any keepsakes on her when he found her!]
When Ji Xiurong heard this, he felt uneasy.
How to ask?
After all, she hadn't seen her father for almost five years, ever since her brother became a monk and she was kicked out by her stepmother.
Jiang Zhiyu didn't notice her worry and was still feeling indignant.
[And that vicious stepmother, I'll teach her a lesson! Let Xiurong vent her anger!]
Ji Xiurong was not happy when she heard it.
Daddy likes stepmother, and she doesn't want them to argue because of her.
not to mention……
She is not Daddy's child at all.
Thinking of this, she quickly spoke up to stop Jiang Zhiyu from trying to find out her background.
"Miss San has treated Xiurong's face. This is a great favor. Xiurong has no way to repay her. I dare not trouble Miss San any longer. Xiurong is leaving the house on her own."
Jiang Zhiyu frowned slightly when he heard this.
"You live here so that I can take care of you!"
Ji Xiurong shook her head.
"Xiu Rong will apply the medicine given by the young lady on time. But everyone will know that Xiu Rong has sought medical treatment but has returned in vain."
Is she afraid that others will know about their relationship?
Although Jiang Zhiyu didn't care, this was an open conspiracy and he was not afraid of others seeing through it.
However, she was really touched that Ji Xiurong had such thoughts.
Once again, I sighed that I chose the right person!
Jiang Zhiyu just looked at her without saying anything.
Ji Xiurong hurriedly explained:
"Don't worry, Miss. Xiurong will definitely go to the fighting ceremony!"
Jiang Zhiyu believed her and nodded firmly.
"Since you've made up your mind, then go back first! Wait until the black and red on your face fades and the scars disappear, then come find me at the clinic."
"……yes."
Ji Xiurong was puzzled. Wouldn’t this expose their relationship?
She was worried that if the Sixth Prince found out, he would take precautions.
But her trust in Jiang Zhiyu made her nod in agreement.
Leave the house at night.
The reason was not only the worry that Jiang Zhiyu's plan would fail.
More importantly, she was anxious to go back and remind her brother—
Never get involved with anyone in the palace, or you’ll lose your life!
Jiang Zhiyu took leave and stayed at home to discuss the ceremony with his elder brother.
Five days passed and there was no news from the clinic about Ji Xiurong.
She couldn't help but worry.
According to the plan, the black and red spots on her face should disappear in three days!
In five days, the scars should be gone.
Unable to sit still any longer, she took Zhuying and headed straight to Yuhua Mountain according to the intelligence.
The tip was accurate, and Jiang Zhiyu found the hut in the book in no time.
After getting off the carriage, she was amazed at the simple courtyard.
Xiurong is such a good girl, for her little honey trap.
He gave up his luxurious residence and returned to live alone in the wild mountains.
If you can endure loneliness, you can surely maintain prosperity!
Just as she was about to step inside, Jiang Zhiyu heard shouting and cursing from inside the door.
"You little bitch! You have money for medical treatment, 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 a stick hitting the body.
Accompanied by Xiurong's screams of pain, the sounds stimulated Jiang Zhiyu's nerves!
It's easy to guess who that sarcastic old woman is.
Jiang Zhiyu did not hesitate either. He picked up the shoulder pole by the door and strode in.
[If you dare to touch me, I think you are tired of living! ]
She walked with such big strides that Zhuying couldn't catch up with her even if she jogged.
"Miss! Miss, slow down! Be careful!"
