Chapter 66: The Heartless One
Lin Qingjun was finally kept because Ji Chenchuan said he had something to say to her.
When she learned that Ji Chenchuan had just witnessed the whole process, she was shocked and horrified. However, if it happened again, she would still do the same thing.
But, did Prince Ji have something to say to her? What was he trying to do? Was he going to accuse her like Xiao Yuan did?
But she never expected that Ji Chenchuan said that he saw everything that had just happened, and also said that he wanted to invite her to coach.
Generally, the embroiderers in the mansions are taught by special people in order to improve their embroidery skills. Only when their embroidery skills are improved, the embroidery sent out by the mansions will not be too bad, and they will not think of coming to Wanchongxuan to buy embroidery as gifts.
Go to Wu'an Marquis Mansion to teach?
Lin Qingjun shook her head without thinking. She didn't go not only because of Lin Yingxue, but also because she knew her own strengths and weaknesses. Her embroidery skills were indeed good, but compared to the palace embroidery, they were still not worth mentioning. She did not have the ability and skill to teach the embroiderers in the Marquis' Mansion the art of embroidery.
Ji Chenchuan said, "There's no rush for this matter. You should think about it for now before making a decision. I don't want to convince you to come here, but the embroiderers in my house have old-fashioned ideas and are not willing to innovate."
Having said that, Ji Chenchuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"My Wu'an Marquis Mansion is not a residence for civil officials. Many things in the mansion are different from those in other official residences. If you say that the most abundant things in the mansion are not flowers and plants, but swords and knives."
"Whenever guests come, they just smile awkwardly and respond to the flattery."
"Embroiderers are even more so. They haven't been replaced in ten years. Even if new ones come in, they will be driven away."
Having said this, Ji Chenchuan stopped talking.
Lin Qingjun was slightly stunned, and also heard a different meaning from his words.
The current Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion is managed by the eldest lady of the concubine's eldest son's family. Her son did not inherit the throne of the crown prince, so she is naturally unhappy and will not sincerely plan for the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion.
The matter of the embroiderer was just a trivial matter not worth mentioning compared to other things in the mansion, but even such a trivial matter restricted Ji Chenchuan, let alone other things.
She had also heard that Doctor Wu'an Hou was stingy and cruel.
In her previous life, when she returned home to visit her aunt, she vaguely heard the news from Jianjia Courtyard that Qi was scolding the wife of Marquis Wu'an for torturing Lin Yingxue.
She said that she bullied her by taking advantage of her status as an elder, and that she had replaced the servants in Lin Yingxue's courtyard. What's more, she had no control over what she wanted to eat. What was even more outrageous was that sometimes she didn't even give her charcoal. When she went to ask about it, the eldest lady would just put the blame on the servants, saying that it was their fault for not doing their best.
What shocked her the most was not this, but that the eldest lady had actually killed the third wife's grandson. She said that she just wanted to teach the new wife of the sixth master Ji a lesson, and she had only knelt in the snow for an hour, so how could she have known that she would have a miscarriage?
Not only did she not admit her mistake, she even accused the wife of Young Master Ji of being ignorant, asking her why she didn't report the pregnancy when she was clearly pregnant, causing her to be scolded?
The Sixth Young Master's wife was so angry that she fainted on the spot. Her family was not prominent, and not only did she lose the baby in her womb, but no one from her family came to support her. From then on, the Sixth Young Master's wife developed a chronic illness.
This clearly shows how vicious Madam Ji is.
Now that Ji Chenchuan is a sickly person, she naturally bullies him in any way she wants. Since the embroiderer is not good enough, Ji Chenchuan can only give up the embroidery and choose another gift.
But.
Even though Lin Qingjun knew Ji Chenchuan's difficulties, she still shook her head and refused to go.
Ji Chenchuan's shining eyes suddenly dimmed.
Shang Jianqiu thought Ji Chenchuan would be angry and was about to speak for Lin Qingjun, but who knew he would take the initiative to speak.
"I was reckless and inconsiderate. You are a girl, how can I force you to do something that is beyond your reach? Miss Lin, I apologize."
Lin Qingjun nodded, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness. However, if Your Highness really wants me to embroider something, you can come to Qianzi Pavilion and tell Boss Shang, and I will embroider it myself."
When Ji Chenchuan heard this, he couldn't help but smile secretly.
What she meant was that if he wanted embroidery, he would have to come to Qianzi Pavilion to buy it?
What a naughty Lin Qingjun.
Fine, I am the only one who can pamper the woman I love, so I can buy her if she wants. However, I won't be like those arrogant people who spend two hundred taels for something that is only worth twenty taels.
Even if he wanted to give her two hundred taels, he would not buy her embroidery. He would give her something else as a gift. For example, when she saved up two hundred taels in the future, he would take her two hundred taels and use the two hundred taels as an excuse to do business. In just one year, the two hundred taels could become two thousand taels, or even more.
At that time, her two hundred taels will be exchanged for two thousand taels. Isn't that better?
Lin Qingjun looked at the time and realized it was time for her to leave, so she bowed and said goodbye.
"Oh, Miss Lin Er, Senior Brother Daoming said you are excellent."
Lin Qingjun paused slightly, not understanding what he meant. However, the name Daoming seemed a little familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.
She nodded slightly, said she understood, and turned to leave.
Ji Chenchuan looked at the figure going away and said aggrievedly, "What a hard-hearted woman."
He had such plans for her, and she just said, "I know," and left? Did she know how long he had been planning for Daoming's words? Even that Nanny Wan passing by here was no accident.
Also, he invited her to teach in the mansion, which was also to give her confidence.
As long as she had some connection with the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, he could protect her on the grounds that she was from the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion and that he, as the Crown Prince, had the right to protect her. Not to mention Qi, even if Lin Zhi wanted to take action against Lin Qingjun, he would have to see whether he, as the Crown Prince, agreed.
The heartless boy didn't even realize his good intentions.
"snort."
Daoming snorted.
Bu.
Ji Chenchuan secretly vomited blood. What happened to this Daoming Senior Brother today? So petty?
Daoming didn't want to talk to him, so he took a sip of the tea and went to write on the table.
"Little man."
"A cunning villain."
"You've taken advantage of me again."
"I'm very unhappy."
Ji Chenchuan laughed heartily, "Daoming, you don't understand. If one day you meet a woman you want to protect with your life, you will be just like me, calculating everything and planning everything for her."
He didn't have many days left in this world. If he didn't buy more time for her, he was really afraid it would be too late.
A hint of red light flashed in Ji Chenchuan's eyes, but when he saw that the countdown to his life span of one year and twenty-eight days suddenly became one year and two months, he was shocked.
He thought for a moment. Did he miscalculate his lifespan? Or was there something wrong with the countdown?
But that's impossible. The one called the system said that this countdown has never been wrong. Moreover, he checks it every few days and it always matches.
Ji Chenchuan fell into deep thought. What went wrong that caused his lifespan to increase?
"Daoming, go back first. I'll come back to you in a few days after I figure out some things."
After saying that, he left Daoming behind and left in a hurry.
Lin Qingjun also didn't notice that the invisible number above her head had quietly added two months...
