"Little sister, I think you don't want to sleep, you want to read a storybook, right?" Ji Jiayu grabbed her with a mischievous grin. As her older brother, he knew his little sister's personality perfectly well.
Ji Jiayu couldn't help but say, "You've been poisoned by storybooks. Most of the men in them are a bit eccentric. There's the story of a rich girl who likes a poor scholar, and if her family disagrees, she has to elope with him. There's also the story of a great general who likes his mistress. What kind of nonsense is this?"
Ji Jiaming also poked her head and continued, "Your second brother is right. If you really like her, why not try to give her a stable home? Look at the lovelorn men in those stories. They either make the girls waste their best years or cause them to break with their families."
"If you truly admire her, you should be like a pine tree standing on a precipice, first establishing yourself and cultivating your studies, passing the imperial examinations or finding a livelihood, and then formally marry her according to the proper rites and customs, so that she can enter the house in a magnificent phoenix coronet and wedding gown. Even if there is a difference in social status, you should use your courage and integrity to carve out a path for yourself. How can you waste her feelings and become like a rootless duckweed, ending up with the absurd situation of being content with love even when you only have water to drink?"
Here we go again! My brother and Tang Sanzang are practically from the same lineage. If he ever becomes the top scholar in the imperial examinations, I'll definitely get the emperor to appoint him as a censor, so he can talk his mind all he wants every day.
Ji Jiaming was helpless. He couldn't explain this to his sister; she was such a difficult creature to understand.
"Come on, come on, I'll have something to eat with you."
Once seated at the table, Ji Yingying ate quite a lot of food. Fearing she wouldn't be able to digest it, she lay down, and Ji Jiayu even took her to climb over the wall.
[Since arriving in the capital, I've never climbed over a wall before. Climbing it now is quite an experience!]
"Hold on tight."
"Okay, second brother, second brother, look at that house..."
Ji Jiayu immediately covered Ji Yingying's eyes: "Little sister, you are still young, don't look around."
After saying that, he covered her eyes and carried her away.
[What the hell? I've lived two lives already, what is there that I can't stand? I've watched countless romance films from that country, what's a little more?]
[You keep bragging, you're always bragging, you're practically a cow in the sky now. I've seen people with a sense of shame, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you.] Xiangxiang directly exposed his boasting.
[Hehe, isn't that because I watch a lot? My past life's Douyin accounts recommended at least a hundred or two to my male idols. Just because I don't look for other people doesn't mean I don't watch. Besides, the girls are pretty too. You're just a robot, you wouldn't understand.]
"Little sister~" Ji Jiayu's face turned red. What kind of talk was that? Not looking, just watching... How could you have such thoughts about that filthy old woman next door?
No, he decided to ask his mother to straighten out his sister. His perfectly good sister shouldn't be ruined by these dirty deeds.
"What?"
Ji Yingying didn't understand what was wrong with Ji Jiayu. She looked at him blankly and saw that his face was flushed, and there was a kind of anger in it. It was clear that he was burning with anger. Could it be...?
[Feeling unsatisfied? My second brother is almost fifteen, and at that age, Mom should start arranging dates for him. Wait, my eldest brother is seventeen already, when is Mom going to arrange dates for him? Will I have two sweet and gentle sisters-in-law in the future? Sigh, others really envy my life, having brothers and sisters-in-law who dote on me.]
"Let your mother deal with you tonight," Ji Jiayu said, blushing, and turned around.
【Why is he bullying me? He was the one who brought me to sit on the wall, and he was the one who looked at that thing, so why...? Oh well, I'll look at it myself.】
Ji Jiayu, who had walked away, didn't hear what was said afterward at all. If she had, she would have definitely turned around and arrested the person.
However, by the time Ji Yingying climbed onto the wall, the two had already left.
Five seconds? That's way too fast! How could this woman endure that?
Little did they know that Rong Yi had gone over and knocked the two unconscious, then took them away. When the two woke up, they even suffered a stroke, which nearly killed the man.
[Sigh, I'd better go back to reading my storybooks. I have to attend court early tomorrow, and there are still a few days until my day off. Xiangxiang, you need to brainwash the Emperor; I want a two-day weekend!]
The agonizing cries of someone about to go to work echoed from the Ji family compound. Passing officials couldn't help but wonder if Ji Yingying had been beaten, wondering how she could be so pitiful.
I had just finished washing up and taken out my storybook when Fang Yulan came in.
"Mother, what brings you here?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Yulan's face fell. She was still young; how could she be addressed as "you, old man"?
Take a deep breath and bear it. This is my own daughter; I can't hit her or scold her. Just bear it!
My poor mother, she gets kicked out of her room by her father every day, and pitifully comes to sleep with her daughter every night.
[Or, I might advise her to get a divorce. She's a strong, independent woman; she should be beautiful on her own and not let her father ruin her life.]
Enough is enough. She's her own daughter, so a beating won't hurt. A rattan cane came out of her bag, and the next second Ji Yingying ran away, not even having time to put on her shoes.
"Mother... I was wrong, I was wrong, please don't hit me. I'm your most beloved daughter. If you hurt me, you'll be heartbroken."
The wailing was even more pitiful than the sigh of someone about to go to the morning court. Rong Yi, who was about to lie down in the back alley next door, heard Ji Yingying's pig-like screams and quickly got up.
She rushed over without even having time to put on her clothes, only to find Fang Yulan scolding Ji Yingying when she got to the roof.
He sighed helplessly, then looked down at himself, noticing his disheveled appearance.
My dear Master Ji! You've ruined my life! I even had to go shirtless because of you.
He sat on the rooftop, listening to Ji Yingying's cries and pleas for mercy below.
In fact, Fang Yulan didn't lash out many times, and she was very gentle. It was just that Ji Yingying's voice was loud, so it was all bark and no bite.
When Ji Yingying got tired of shouting, Fang Yulan also got tired of hitting her.
“Your brother told me that you’re thinking about watching those filthy things. Let me tell you, how old are you? Tomorrow, I’ll go to the Empress and beg for a nanny to come back. I’ll definitely change your ways.”
[Fine, Ji Jiayu, you just wait, if I don't mess with you, I'll change my surname to yours...]
You and he share the same surname, so why make things difficult for each other?
[Hmph, I hold grudges, and I will definitely get my revenge.]
"Let's go back to sleep." As for Ji Yingying's talk of seeking revenge on Ji Jiayu, Fang Yulan didn't interfere at all; the two siblings had been teasing people like this since they were little.
She used to worry about it when they were little, but now she doesn't worry at all. No matter how much they make a fuss, it won't affect their sibling relationship. It has to be said that Ji Yingying is very good at handling this matter.
Seeing that she obediently followed her back to the room to sleep, Fang Yulan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps she had a lot to do today and had been running around a lot, so she was tired and fell asleep in no time.
In the past, she couldn't fall asleep before midnight, but she slept very well during the day.
