Chapter 310 Do you want a divorce?
Before Yuzhu could ask her cousin Ji what he wanted to say, the noble lady came forward with two little maids.
When the noble lady saw Ji Changfeng, her eyes remained fixed on him. A hint of shyness appeared on her bright and handsome face as she asked him, "My father has invited you to his house several times to a banquet to thank you for saving me. Why didn't you come?"
Ji Changfeng said stiffly, "I just saved Miss Xu. There's no need to repay me. Your family is very wealthy and it's not convenient for me to marry into your family. Please don't come to me again."
"You!" The noble lady was a little angry, but it seemed that she had known Ji Changfeng's temper for a long time. She was angry for a while before speaking again: "Did my father say something to you? He is used to being arrogant. Don't bother with him. If his words offend you, just tell me, and I will..."
Ji Changfeng said, "General Xu has spent half his life in the military. I have great respect for him, so why would I care? However, I am already married, so it is inconvenient for me to have any contact with you, young lady. Please do not come to see me again."
"You said you have a family, but where is your wife?"
Miss Xu Siyun had sent people to inquire about Ji Changfeng a long time ago. He was married and had a daughter, but he used to go home every month on leave, but he rarely went home after he got married.
His wife left with the children a few days ago.
Not only was this marriage in name only, but it also had a very strange beginning.
Ji Changfeng is a very old-fashioned person. No matter what Xu Siyun does, it is difficult for her to get close to him. Yet, such a person welcomed a daughter less than three months after getting married. Moreover, the couple have been separated for a long time since their marriage, and now they don't even see each other. There must be something fishy about this.
Xu Siyun said firmly, "You are either planning to divorce her or you have already done so. I don't mind that you've been married before. You should repay me for saving my life with your body. I simply like you. If you're willing, I will take care of my father's affairs. You just need to be happy to enter my Xu family."
Old General Xu was actually very satisfied with Ji Changfeng as his son-in-law, but his son was useless. Some time ago, he had a fight with the young master of the Wang family in the street over an actor, and was arrested by the Jingzhao Prefecture. The matter was brought to the imperial court, and he was reprimanded by the emperor at his old age, which made him lose all his face.
Seeing that his son was a hopeless case, General Xu thought of finding a live-in son-in-law for his daughter.
But Ji Changfeng didn't want to.
Not to mention that he hasn't divorced Yuzhu yet, even if Yuzhu wasn't there, he wouldn't want to be a son-in-law in the general's mansion.
"I don't want to." Ji Changfeng pulled Yuzhu and said to Xu Siyun, "This is my wife, Yuzhu. She's just been too busy these days, so she brought her daughter to live in the Chang'an Palace. It's not what Miss Xu thinks. Please don't mention the matter of marrying into the family again."
"Are you Ji Changfeng's wife?"
Xu Siyun looked at Yuzhu in disbelief.
The two of them had just stopped their carriage nearby and the passengers got out of the carriage almost at the same time. When they met, Xu Siyun thought the girl was really pretty and since she was riding in a carriage from the Chang'an Palace, she nodded and smiled as a greeting.
Who knew that she was actually Ji Changfeng's wife.
Yuzhu listened to their conversation and basically understood everything. Seeing that Ji Changfeng was unwilling to get entangled with Miss Xu, she followed his words and said:
"I've been so busy at the palace lately that I've neglected my husband. He's a decent man who often helps those in need. Miss Xu is just one of them. If everyone was to repay their life-saving debt with their own, the Ji family's small house would have been completely overwhelmed long ago."
Xu Siyun wanted to say something else.
Ji Changfeng spoke first, "Miss Xu, I've already made it very clear to you. Please don't come to me again. My wife and I will be leaving first."
As he said this, he took Yuzhu away.
"Ji Changfeng!"
Xu Siyun called him, but he didn't even turn around, which made the eldest lady so angry that she stomped her feet.
Ji Changfeng pulled Yuzhu through the crowd and came to a small restaurant on the next street, where they asked for a private room on the second floor.
While the waiter was serving the dishes, Ji Changfeng told Yuzhu what had happened a few days ago.
About a month ago, he was on his way home from work in the middle of the night when he met a man chasing a thief on the roof. He was not paying attention and was almost injured by the thief. He went up to rescue the man and caught the thief. Later he found out that the girl was General Xu's daughter Xu Siyun.
Xu Siyun was the most undisciplined among the noble ladies in the capital. She did not learn music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, but instead learned swords, guns, and clubs. However, since women could not go to the battlefield, she caught thieves and beat bandits.
Ji Changfeng didn't hate Xu Siyun, but he couldn't stand her relentless pursuit, so he told her from the beginning that he was married and had a daughter.
But I don’t know what’s wrong with Miss Xu. She never takes his words seriously.
Yuzhu didn't know Miss Xu, but she had seen with her own eyes that Young General Xu fought with the young master of the Wang family in the street for a performer.
Miss Xu's direct and enthusiastic style is definitely related to her family background.
Ji Changfeng said, and immediately explained to Yuzhu: "Miss Xu and I really have nothing. I didn't accept anything she gave me, and I didn't even eat a bite of the food. I..."
"Cousin," Yuzhu interrupted softly, "our marriage was originally a fake one. You've delayed it for a long time because of me. In fact, if you like Miss Xu, this is also a good match. We can discuss whether to marry into the family or not."
Ji Changfeng understood something when he heard that. He looked at Yuzhu and asked, "So you came to me today to...get a divorce?"
"Yes." Yuzhu said, "I came to see my cousin today to discuss the divorce."
Ji Changfeng was silent for a long time before he asked, "Are you with that person?"
When Yuzhu came to the capital, she had been pregnant for more than half a year and her pregnancy was already obvious.
Ji Changfeng married her knowingly.
But Yuzhu didn't tell him who Nian'er's father was. Ji Changfeng knew that with Yuzhu's personality, she would not take the initiative to propose divorce unless she encountered some unexpected changes.
So, it must be related to that person.
"No." Yuzhu said, "I don't know what will happen between him and me in the future, but I can't get entangled with him now, and delay my cousin."
"You want a divorce, I should have agreed immediately, but now the Xu family wants me to marry into the family as a son-in-law, and my mother..."
As a son, Ji Changfeng couldn't say anything wrong about his mother.
He paused for a moment and then continued, "You know my mother's character. If you and I divorce now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to refuse this marriage from the Xu family."
Ji Changfeng said, "So, Yuzhu, can we wait for a year or two until the Xu family's thoughts fade away before we divorce?"
Yuzhu knew that what her cousin Ji said was the truth, and that when she was in trouble, her cousin married her despite the criticism.
Now that her cousin Ji is in trouble, how can she insist on divorcing him at this time?
Yuzhu was silent for a moment, then said, "Then we can divorce after some time."
