Chapter 31: The Weak Grandson Who Can't Take Care of Himself
The old lady thought more and more that something was wrong.
Thinking about the character and temperament of their ancestors in the Ji family, and then thinking about why this matter had not been mentioned in the family for so many years, and then thinking about why the Lin family had not mentioned this matter either.
Isn't it strange that neither of these two officials spoke of what happened back then? This alone is enough to make people delve into it for a long time.
Coupled with all the things that happened in the Lin Mansion in the past month, she became more and more uneasy.
She grabbed Ji Chenchuan and said, "Grandson, we absolutely cannot have this marriage. Don't worry, even if it means risking my entire life's achievements, I will definitely cancel this marriage for you."
It's all her fault. She's getting old and confused. She couldn't think straight and actually brought up such a thing?
It was her fault. If she really let the woman from the Lin family in, wouldn't that harm her grandson?
She did it right away and stood up to go out.
Ji Chenchuan grabbed her and gently brought her back to her seat.
"Grandma, don't be anxious or panic. I am just telling you what happened back then."
"Besides, even though the Lin family planned this, they still helped our Ji Mansion."
At that time, the Ji family was not only facing the secret pursuit of political enemies, but also the pursuit and interception of the emperor at that time. If it had not been for that night at the Lin family, not only would the wife and the unborn child have died, but the Ji family would have died as well.
Therefore, facing the Lin family's calculations, Zuzu agreed to the marriage without hesitation.
However, precisely because Zuzu saw through the true colors of the Lin family, he never mentioned the matter afterwards and also suppressed the Lin family from mentioning it.
The incident happened recently and several generations have passed, so naturally few people remember what happened back then, especially Lin Zhi's generation. He had no idea that such a marriage existed. If the old lady hadn't come with the token, he would probably never have known about it in his life.
The old lady finally calmed down.
However, the old lady just couldn't get over this psychological barrier.
"But if I hadn't mentioned this, then the Jilin and Lin Mansions would have been forgotten. How could so many things have happened?"
Ji Chenchuan became even more gentle. He said, "Grandmother, as the saying goes, what you owe must be repaid. Even if it's not with me, you'll pay it somewhere else. As the Buddha said, orchids give birth to fruits, and that's exactly the case."
"Also, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It's my blessing to be able to repay the kindness owed to my ancestors with my impoverished body. I don't think there's anything wrong with it."
The old lady felt even more distressed after hearing this. "Chuan'er, how can you be so kind and considerate? If I wasn't by your side in the future, wouldn't you be eaten by them?"
The current Wu'an Marquis Mansion is no different from other mansions. It has all the necessary underworlds, but her grandmother is still alive, which has suppressed their ambitions. But if one day she is gone, won't such a kind and weak grandson be tortured to death by them?
Ji Chenchuan smiled, "So, grandma, you must live longer, longer, and take good care of your grandson."
The old lady was at a loss for words. "You're just trying to make me happy in all sorts of ways. ... No, I still need to think about this Lin family marriage a little more."
Ji Chenchuan was a little anxious. It was fine as it was, but when he thought about it again, the little guy he had his eyes on was really going to be gone.
He said, "Grandma, if you're worried, I think we should come back and see each other again."
Perhaps there will be new discoveries?
The old lady paused.
They talked for a few more words, and the old lady put down many precious medicinal herbs as usual, carefully and repeatedly instructed them to take good care of the green mountains and green waters, and then took Li Ma Ma back.
Walking in the huge garden of the marquis's mansion, the old lady was still uneasy.
Nanny Li advised, "Old Madam, please stop blaming yourself. Just as the prince said, perhaps this marriage isn't entirely a bad thing. Perhaps this is another kind of fate for him."
The prince has been in Qingyun Mountain for more than ten years. His temperament is even calmer than that of the old lady. Even if something bad happens, he thinks it is fate, not sin. With such a temperament, it is no wonder that the emperor likes the prince.
The old lady nodded. Since they all said so, what else could she say?
"Chuan'er said she wanted to see him again. Why don't we see him again? Perhaps we really have some misunderstanding about Miss Lin? In this dark world of the royal family, no one can say for sure if she was framed."
Nanny Li also nodded. Without knowing the whole story, she naturally couldn't generalize. So she decided to take another look at Miss Lin to see if she was qualified.
If Ji Chenchuan knew that they still wanted to continue to see Lin Yingxue, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. He meant to let them see another daughter of the Lin family. Isn’t the meaning of his words obvious enough?
However, just as Ji Chenchuan collected his thoughts, an uninvited guest came over and sat down opposite him without his permission.
The man in front of him looked refreshed, with a healthy rosy complexion on his face. Even though his complexion was several shades inferior to his, the rosy complexion on his face was much more enviable than his pale, almost transparent face.
Ji Ziming curled his lips and smiled. He didn't care whether the tea in front of him had been drunk by the old lady or not, he picked it up and wanted to taste it.
Pop.
But before he could touch the teacup, it was broken by a stone in mid-air.
Ji Ziming just paused slightly, without any anger on his face.
"Fourth brother, you are still so stingy. It's just a small cup of tea, and you won't let me, your third brother, drink it? What's more, I don't even mind that this is something that my grandmother drank before."
Ji Ziming's face was full of arrogance.
Ji Ziming, the third son of the eldest son of the concubine family and the third son of the Ji family, has a temperament just as he appears, flamboyant and arrogant.
But he also had the capital to show off. He was the prince's companion at a young age and was highly regarded by the prince. Although he was a concubine's son, he did not feel sorry for himself because of his concubine's status.
But what does it have to do with him if he is like this?
To put it nicely, it is arrogance; to put it bluntly, it is arrogance.
Ji Chenchuan still maintained a decent smile on his face, and his smile revealed neither sincerity nor insincerity in his eyes.
"Third brother, you should call me Prince."
Cold and distant.
The arrogance on Ji Ziming's face could no longer be suppressed, and he clenched his fists under his sleeves.
In the entire Ji Mansion, he is the most qualified person to be the crown prince. The title of crown prince of Marquis Wu'an is awarded to the capable, and it was passed down from ancestors.
But why was it different this time? Why did it have to be passed on to someone so sick and near death? Look at Ji Chenchuan. Besides his good looks, what other talents did he have? Even knocking the teacup out of his hand required the help of an outsider. How could such a loser be designated as the heir apparent of the Marquis of Wu'an?
Grandmother, she was too biased. Could it be that he was weak, because his parents were dead? He refused to accept it, he really didn't accept it.
Ji Chenchuan looked at Ji Ziming's dissatisfaction coldly, but what qualifications did he have to be dissatisfied?
"Third brother, don't forget how your companion to the crown prince came to be."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Ziming's face turned pale and he couldn't believe it.
