Chapter 59 Leaving
The moment he felt Ji Zheng's gaze, Ji Erqiang's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
Seeing Ji Zheng walking towards his second son step by step, Ji's father looked very unhappy. Due to the man holding a knife next to him, Ji's father tried his best to suppress his emotions and said softly to Ji Zheng: "Zheng boy, what are you doing?"
The revenge has been taken, and Ji Zheng did not keep anyone in suspense and directly stated his intention, "Ji Hean is mine. From today on, he has nothing to do with your family. Do you understand?"
Although he didn't like Ji Hean, he was still his son after all. When Ji Zheng's father heard this, he felt uncomfortable as if his father's words were challenging his father's authority.
Seeing Ji's father frowning and saying nothing, Ji Zheng sneered in his heart, took out the sword of the servant beside him and played with it leisurely.
Under the direct sunlight, the blade shone with a cold light. Father Ji's heart shuddered, and he forced a smile, "Since He An has married you, she naturally has nothing to do with us."
After getting the answer, Ji Zheng smiled with satisfaction, put the knife back into the scabbard, took two steps forward to Ji's father, and said in a low voice: "Then please keep your promise, father-in-law, otherwise the lives of my elder brother and second brother will be in danger..."
At this point, Ji Zheng smiled, and Ji's father felt a chill all over his body, "You, you are breaking the law..."
"I know. Look who that is?" Ji Zheng pointed at Lu Qin who was just a tool at the side and said, "Do you think I will be okay because of our relationship?"
The sun was high in the sky, but Ji's father broke out in a cold sweat.
His thin face, which was turning pale and blue, showed an expression that looked like he was crying. "Don't worry, we will treat Ji and An as dead from now on... No, no, no, we will definitely not treat Ji and An as our sons."
Ji Zheng looked at his shaking hands and knew that he had achieved his goal. He smiled knowingly, "That's good."
“Oh, by the way, I don’t want to hear any bad words about me outside.” Ji Zheng added.
Ji's father nodded repeatedly.
He patted Ji's father's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Then I won't bother you today."
The word "son-in-law" sounded like a sharp knife to Ji's father's ears, extremely piercing.
In the carriage, Lu Qin asked, "Don't you feel it's unfair to use this favor like this?"
"No, there's nothing to lose." Ji Zheng explained, "From the beginning, I wanted this favor to pave the way for my future business. Now I want to pursue a career in politics, right? Then this favor won't be of much use to me."
".....Have you ever thought about what would happen if you fail the exam this time?"
“I think it’s unlikely that I will fail the exam.”
Lu Qin's mouth twitched at Ji Zheng's mysterious self-confidence, "Confidence is good, but being too confident is..."
"The main reason is that I was able to pass the exam even though I wrote so poorly this time. There is still more than half a year before the next exam. If I study every day, I will definitely do better than this time."
It seemed to make some sense, so Lu Qin stopped talking.
At this time, Ji Zheng said, "Even if I fail the exam and come back to do business, you will definitely be able to pass. Li Wencheng is now working with us, so you have such a good relationship with him that you will definitely be his backer. So now it doesn't make any difference whether you have this favor or not."
Lu Qin's hand holding the fan paused, so was he being tricked?
Seeing the expression on Lu Qin's face, Ji Zheng said, "Li Wencheng is not going to pursue a career in politics anyway. He can't just keep running a small noodle shop in the future. Do you think he is such a quiet person?"
Lu Qin still didn't say anything, but his expression softened.
The two of them didn't speak for the rest of the time until they got to the city and Ji Zheng got off the carriage. Lu Qin then said, "Come early tomorrow."
Ji Zheng responded and strode towards his home.
He will be leaving tomorrow, and he will be away for at least half a year, so he should spend more time with his Ji and An now.
"He'an, I'm back!" Ji Zheng shouted as soon as he got home, and of course his feet kept walking towards the house.
After calling out several times but no one showed up, Ji Zheng felt a little strange.
At this time, Grandma Aying came out from the kitchen and said, "Master, the young lady and Mu Ya are out."
Ji Zheng frowned, "Where did you go?"
Grandma Ying shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, but it seems like she went shopping."
Ji Zheng nodded, turned and walked out the door, but stopped after two steps. There were many streets in the county town, and it would be useless to go out looking for someone if he didn't know where to go. It would be better for him to wait for someone at home.
Thinking of this, Ji Zheng turned into the room, took out a collection of poems and began to read it carefully.
As for poetry, he did not expect to produce something that would shock heaven and earth, but at least he wanted it to be passable, so during this period he focused most of his energy on studying poetry collections.
Before he knew it, it was noon. After finishing a collection of poems, Ji Zheng stood up and turned his neck. At this time, a sound came from the yard.
Thinking that it should be Ji Hean who came back, Ji Zheng couldn't help but smile and walked out of the door in two steps, "Hean."
Ji Hean, who was still holding something in his hand, heard the voice and rushed over to Ji Zheng with a smile without even looking at him, "When did you come back?"
"An hour ago." Ji Zheng touched Ji Hean's head, "What did you buy?"
"I bought you clothes and shoes." Ji Hean pointed at the things in Mu Ya's hand, "You can wear them on the road."
Ji Zheng felt warm in his heart, and he felt that his Ji Hean was really considerate.
"He An is really considerate."
Seeing the doting smile in Ji Zheng's eyes, Ji Hean's eyes were sore. He hugged Ji Zheng's waist, buried his head in his chest, and said sullenly: "I will miss Ah Lang."
Ji Zheng reached out and stroked Ji Hean's back, and promised: "I will miss Hean, too. Don't be sad. Hasn't Hean learned a lot of words recently? We can write letters then."
"I know, but I still feel a little sad." Ji Hean's eyes gradually turned red and he looked like he was about to cry.
Ji Zheng carried the person into the room, locked the door, leaned over and whispered in Ji Hean's ear: "Then let's do something happy."
Without waiting for Ji and An to react, he carried her to the bed by force.
After a round of ups and downs and a dragon diving into the water, Ji Zheng, whose body was covered with scratches, heard a sentence: "You are a shameless beast who commits adultery in broad daylight."
Would Ji Zheng mind? Of course he did, so the person who spoke was once again beaten up by the beast.
This dragon diving into the water continued until the sun set.
After Ji Zheng patiently served Ji He'an something to eat, he held her in his arms and read a book by the candlelight from the window. He would kiss the person in his arms twice after just a few glances at the book.
He didn't stop reading until he kissed the girl so hard that she started groaning.
No wonder everyone likes a beautiful woman with red sleeves. Ji Zheng felt the soft and petite body of the person in his arms, and his heart was filled with satisfaction.
Happy times always pass quickly, and the next day came in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, Ji Hean followed Ji Zheng with tears in her eyes, watching him pack his things.
"Baby, don't cry. Your eyes are still swollen from yesterday." Ji Zheng held Ji Hean's little face and comforted her with heartache.
Ji Hean sniffed, "I didn't cry."
She said she wasn't crying, but her words were full of tears.
This hypocritical look made Ji Zheng laugh. He lowered his head and kissed Ji Hean's pink nose. "Yeah, Hean didn't cry."
In fact, the things Ji Zheng needed to pack were mainly books, and the rest of the clothes and the like had already been packed up by the servants at home last night.
Now we are just waiting for Lu Qin and others to arrive.
Ji Hean has been nestling in Ji Zheng's arms, trying hard to absorb the scent of Ji Zheng, with a deep reluctance in his heart.
Ji Zheng's heart softened at her clingy look, and he wished he could not take the exam, but when he said it out loud, Ji Hean refuted him.
The time of separation passed so quickly that just as the sun rose above the horizon, Lu Qin's servant came to inform him that the Lu family's carriage was waiting at the city gate.
"Don't be sad, it's still early, go to sleep for a while." Ji Zheng kissed Ji He'an's swollen lips again, "I will write to you often, and you can buy whatever you want to eat at home, don't worry about money."
"Yeah, I know."
Ji Zheng's heart was moved again when he heard the wet sound. His mother really couldn't bear to let him go.
But at this moment Lu Qin and his men were waiting at the city gate, so he had to leave.
Ji Hean didn't know what he was thinking about, but suddenly he bit Ji Zheng's collarbone hard.
The sudden pain made Ji Zheng reflexively want to push the person in his arms away, but the person in his arms was his wife, so he held back and just endured the bite from Ji Hean.
The pain made Ji Zheng frown involuntarily.
Ji Hean didn't let go of Ji Zheng's collarbone until he tasted blood in his mouth. Looking at the bloody teeth marks, Ji Hean licked them carefully again.
"Why are you biting me suddenly?" Ji Zheng didn't care about the pain in his collarbone. He knew that Ji He'an loved him, so there must be a reason why she bit him.
Only after licking all the blood off Ji Zheng did Ji Hean lower his eyes and apologize: "I'm sorry."
Lifting Ji Hean's chin and looking at his red eyes and nose, Ji Zheng smiled indulgently, "Tsk, now you know you're sorry, did you turn into a puppy?"
Ji and An didn't say anything.
In fact, Ji Zheng had already guessed why Ji Hean bit him just now. The two of them were going to be separated for such a long time, and the place he was going to was the prosperous capital, so Ji Hean felt insecure.
Pinching Ji Hean's nose, Ji Zheng stretched out four fingers to the sky, "I swear that I will only have Ji Hean as my partner in this life, and I will only love Ji Hean. If I disobey, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death, and I will go to the eighteenth level of hell after I die."
The moment he finished speaking, Ji Hean burst into tears, but the corners of his mouth turned up. He hugged Ji Zheng and choked up, "Me too, I will only love A Lang."
It was getting late, and Lu Qin came to urge him again. Ji Zheng kissed Ji Hean again before he took his bag and went out.
Ji Hean also stood at the door and looked at Ji Zheng's back.
When Ji Zheng swore the oath, he actually had enough time to cover Ji Zheng's mouth. But you could say he was selfish or bad, he just didn't want Ji Zheng to have anyone else except him.
