Chapter 44: Beaten to Death



Watching her walk further and further away, with no trace of attachment to him or this family, Ji Yuan's eyes felt sore and his vision gradually became blurred.

"Master, Yuezhou is the territory of Prince Yongning. I'm afraid Prince Yongning will harm the young lady." Ting Feng hurriedly reminded him, "Do you need me to bring the young lady back?"

"No need." Ji Yuan shook his head with a gloomy expression. "Take some people to secretly escort the young lady. Don't let her find out. I just hope Wanwan can live the life she wants peacefully."

Others don't understand the master, but Tingfeng knows him very well. It would be a lie to say that he doesn't care about the eldest girl. He just has a hurdle in his heart that he can't get over, and he has never wanted to tell anyone.

"Master, take care of yourself." Tingfeng reminded him and hurried back to the yard to pack his luggage.

Ji Yuan looked at Ye Wanshu's receding back dejectedly for a long time before he regained his composure and returned home.

......

Ye Wanshu accompanied Qin Chulin to transport Qin Yi Niang's coffin to Ji Ningyue's burial place. She buried the mother and daughter together and did not return to the city until dawn the next day.

Along the way, Qin Chulin remained silent.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly uttered a few words: "Big sister, thank you for avenging my aunt and sister Yue."

Looking at his tired little eyes and thinking of Ning Yue's death, Ye Wanshu felt particularly uncomfortable.

"I owe you this." Holding Qin Chulin's tender little hand, she said solemnly, "Chulin, just follow me from now on. I won't let anyone bully you again."

"Okay." Qin Chulin nodded: "When I grow up, I will also protect big sister well."

Looking at his clear and clean eyes, Ye Wanshu touched the top of his head and smiled gently.

Looking at how skinny he is, I'm afraid he has suffered a lot in the Ji family over the years.

She had lived for two lifetimes but had never experienced the joy of raising a child. Now that she had this little guy, going to Yuezhou had brought her a lot more fun.

After opening the conversation, the two chatted for a while in the carriage. Just when they felt the atmosphere in the carriage had become a lot more relaxed, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"My dear cousin, today is the day when the results of the Spring Examination are announced. There are quite a few people gathered on Changle Street."

Qiuli leaned over to the car window, lifted the curtain, and said, "I heard that the top scholar is about to parade through Changle Street right now. I'm afraid he won't be able to get through for a while."

"The top scholar is parading through the streets?"

Ye Wanshu almost forgot that the results of the Spring Examination were announced today. She suddenly remembered that her father had said that day that he would choose a husband for her, and she didn't know who the top scorer would be.

She always felt that her horoscope was in conflict with Changle Street, and she would run into trouble every time she came to Changle Street. Seeing that the Duke's Mansion was just across the street, she really didn't want to be stuck here.

"Chu Lin, let's go downstairs and take a walk."

Ye Wanshu led Qin Chulin out of the carriage and saw from a distance a young man in green riding a tall horse, surrounded by a crowd, coming towards them.

The more I looked at it carefully, the more familiar the face seemed.

The young man was riding on his horse, accepting everyone's congratulations while looking around absent-mindedly. Suddenly, his eyes met Ye Wanshu's, and a bright smile broke out on his face.

"girl."

He shouted at Ye Wanshu, and excitedly jumped off the horse, almost falling to the ground. He was protected by the officials and hurriedly squeezed over here.

Ye Wanshu looked stunned.

When they got closer, Ye Wanshu finally remembered the boy.

"Ji Yunze?" She couldn't help but show joy on her face.

I didn't expect that he actually passed the high school entrance exam and was the top scorer. He does have some skills.

Just as Ji Yunze was about to step forward, he was suddenly stopped by a group of people.

The leader smiled in a very flattering manner and bowed to him with great courtesy.

"Master Ji, I am the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. My daughter is sixteen years old and is waiting to be married. I have come here today to invite you to my house for a chat. Would you mind making this a favor?"
