Chapter 175: If a tiger doesn't show its might, then it's like a sick cat.
The death of his parents was related to his third uncle.
If it weren't for his third uncle Ji Guining who was young and ignorant, and insisted on going to that place and saw things he shouldn't have seen, his father would have died "accidentally" just one month after returning home.
His mother was pregnant at the time, so she was not so shocked that she gave birth to him prematurely and then followed his father to death.
He would not have lost his parents at birth and become an orphan without the love of his father or mother. What's worse, he would have been sickly as a result.
In other words, the beginning of all his suffering was the trouble caused by the third son of the Ji family.
Not only did people outside think so, even his third uncle felt the same way. Therefore, despite the old lady's indifference and favoritism for several years, he never complained at all. Even when his daughter and son suffered injustice, he would not say a word.
He feels very guilty.
Ji Chenchuan said, "Fifth sister, do you think that I have never met Third Uncle?"
Because of that incident, his third uncle had no face to see him, and the old lady would not let him see him. Therefore, he knew that there was a third uncle in the mansion who he had never met and who was born of the same mother as his father, but he had never met him, and everyone in the mansion also thought so.
"But I have seen him, Fifth Sister. I have seen Third Uncle. One time, I was having fun and I dodged the servants to play in the garden."
"Suddenly, I became ill."
No one found his trace at that time, and he thought he was dead this time, but when he fainted, a warm embrace caught him.
He vaguely saw the man's face full of worry, so he hugged him and kept whispering in his ear, "It's okay, he's here."
Ji Chenchuan smiled slightly, "I know, this man is my third uncle."
He never forgot him, because that embrace made him feel a rare trace of fatherly love.
He had been held in his grandmother's arms since he was a child. It was soft and warm. His third uncle's arms were hard but also warm, like a fire. He put his ear close to his chest and heard the strong and powerful heartbeat from his heart.
Oh, so this is similar to a father’s embrace, so nice.
Ji Chenchuan said, "Fifth sister, I have never blamed Third Uncle. In fact, Grandmother has never blamed him either. Although she was also very sad about my parents' death, she knew very well that it had nothing to do with Third Uncle."
"But."
"But the grandmother had to do it because she had already lost a son and daughter-in-law, and she couldn't afford to lose another."
"I'm already an orphan like you in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, so I can't let you and Xiaoliu lose your parents like me."
"Fifth sister, do you understand Grandma? Can you appreciate her painstaking efforts?"
So, in Xiangguo Temple yesterday, my grandmother said that last sentence: perhaps this is the best thing for them.
Their Wu'an Marquis Mansion is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface. Every day there is bloody and extremely difficult.
During the more than ten years that he was away, Ji Guitian and Ji Wu had tried to attack this lonely old woman countless times, but she had always fought them off.
After he came down the mountain and returned home, they turned to attack him again, but this time it was not only his grandmother who fought back, but also him. Therefore, they took advantage of his illness this time to attack his grandmother so boldly.
When Ji Chenchuan thought of this, he really wanted to tear the vicious couple apart, but he knew that he could not disrupt his grandmother's plan, and he could not disrupt the entire Daqi Kingdom. He and his grandmother were waiting for an opportunity.
Ji Ziqi was shocked when he heard this.
She was stunned on the ground. She had never thought about what he said, nor had she ever known about it, especially her grandmother's painstaking efforts. She really had no idea at all. She just thought that her grandmother was simply partial and did not favor their family.
She had heard that other families also had one or two unfavored heirs, but she had never imagined that this was the case? Was there actually a shocking conspiracy going on here?
Grandmother didn't dote on them, nor was she partial to them. It was precisely because of her doting that she was so cold and indifferent, and didn't care about them at all.
Ji Chenchuan did not hit Ji Ziqi, letting her digest it all quietly.
After a long time, Ji Ziqi finally spoke.
"Fourth brother, what do you want me to do by telling me all this today?"
Ji Chenchuan laughed when he heard this.
He knew that his fifth sister was a very smart person.
He said, "Fifth sister, I didn't anticipate the attack on Grandmother today. It was my mistake. If anything had happened to Grandmother, I think I would have felt guilty and blamed myself for the rest of my life, just like Third Uncle."
He really didn't expect that Ji Wu would be so bold to cooperate with that person, nor did he expect that the person behind Ji Wu was actually that person?
Moreover, the system and his memories from his previous life told him that he was the only one who was harmed in the entire incident, so he was careless and allowed them to take advantage of the situation.
Of course, he pulled out the tube from the system afterwards. Since it didn't have the ability to protect him, it didn't need to exist.
He was even more angry at himself for believing in something that existed only out of thin air. If it weren't for his fifth sister and Lin Qingjun, he would have regretted it to death.
So, he must never let such a thing happen again.
Ji Ziqi's eyes lit up, "Fourth brother, are you asking me to kill Ji Wu?"
Bu.
Ji Chenchuan spit out a mouthful of saliva. Looking at her excited little face, if he said yes, would she pick up the knife and kill him?
His silly sister.
"Of course not. What are you thinking in your little head? Grandmother Ji Wu still has some use for her. You must not ruin her good deeds."
"I mean, I want you to hang around grandma from time to time."
Ji Ziqi was confused. She didn't understand what it meant.
Ji Chenchuan sighed and decided to take back his clever words. This fifth sister, despite being praised, still failed to understand the meaning behind his words. If Lin Qingjun were here, she would do it without his reminder.
He said directly, "I mean, I want you to attract some fire."
He curled his lips and revealed a cold smile.
"Humph, Ji Guitian and the others are living too comfortably in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion. Do they really think they have complete control over the mansion?"
It's time to give them some sense of crisis.
If the fifth sister goes to the grandmother, as long as she shows up and shows up, whether the grandmother sees the fifth sister or not, it will give Ji Guitian and others a message, that is, there is one more competitor for their position as the crown prince, and he is a legitimate and intact third branch of the Ji family.
"Don't worry, just shake it a bit, I will protect you in secret and will never let Ji Wu and the others hurt you."
If a tiger doesn't show its power, do you really think that Ji Chenchuan is a sick cat?
