Chapter 74 Do you think he dares?
Ji Ziming was beaten?
What does it have to do with him?
If he wanted to make Ji Ziming suffer, it would not be as simple as just a beating, but he would directly let him die.
Thinking of this, Ji Chenchuan raised his eyebrows. Xiao Yuan was also a capable man. For the sake of his own future, he actually did two things at once. With one hand, he held on tightly to the fourth-rank assistant minister Lin Zhi, and with the other hand, he secretly contacted Ji Ziming. Especially in the past few days, the connection between the two of them became closer.
I don’t know what Xiao Yuan said to Ji Ziming, but Ji Ziming has been very proud these days, as if he will soon be reused by the prince.
Xiao Yuan was so useful that Ji Ziming naturally had to pay some attention to him. Not only did he speak well of Xiao Yuan in front of the prince, he also wanted to use the palace banquet to bring Xiao Yuan in front of Master Wen.
It was a pity that when Wen Taifu was drinking with him that day, he drank a few more cups in a moment of joy and became drunk unconscious, so Xiao Yuan was unable to get what he wished.
Ji Ziming was unwilling to accept this, so he tried to give Xiao Yuan a second chance.
However, the foolish Xiao Yuan did not seize this opportunity. He actually spoke for an old lady from Wan Chongxuan in front of the three of them and asked Lin Qingjun to kneel down and kowtow to that old woman?
How could Senior Brother Daoming be interested in someone with such a character?
Not only did Xiao Yuan fail to meet Daoming this time, he even caused Ji Ziming to be punished by the prince. The prince was also cruel. He only cared about the results and not the process. As long as the result was not achieved, he would naturally be beaten, but the amount was twenty lashes.
Ji Chenchuan laughed again. The prince was truly merciless. Ji Ziming had been following him since he was a child. To put it bluntly, a dog that had served him for over ten years would probably have developed feelings for him, right? But now, he would just beat him without even giving him a second thought.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Ji Chenchuan's deep eyes.
Everyone says that the prince is fair and impartial in his rewards and punishments, but, looking back, isn't this also a manifestation of the prince's coldness and ruthlessness?
The mistake made by Ji Ziming was not a big one, and it was not caused by him. It was Xiao Yuan himself who had bad character and morals. The person who should have been punished the most was Xiao Yuan, but he punished Ji Ziming instead.
Also, the prince probably didn't just want to punish Ji Ziming. He also wanted to find an outlet for his anger. He didn't marry his beloved girl at the flower viewing banquet, and he was angry, but he couldn't vent it because of his status as the prince. He just happened to take advantage of Ji Ziming's incident to make trouble.
Ji Chenchuan shook his head. Prince, he is still so pretentious.
"Ji Chenchuan, why are you silent? What? Did I say it right?"
"In that case, you should go and kowtow and apologize to Ziming now."
Ji Guitian's angry voice rang out again.
Everyone gasped when they heard this. Ji Ziming was just a concubine. How could he deserve an apology from the dignified Marquis of Wu'an? And even kneel down? Master Ji was really imagining things. Even if this was their prince's fault, he wouldn't apologize like this.
The green mountains and green waters are about to move again. As long as their prince gives the order, they will definitely rush up immediately and throw out the person who is rude to the prince.
Ji Chenchuan also laughed, saying back and forth, "Kneel down and apologize?"
It's really ridiculous. Ji Guitian likes these four words, and Xiao Yuan also likes these four words. They both punish him and Lin Qingjun in different ways and with the same conclusion.
Ji Chenchuan raised his face, and his expression suddenly turned cold.
"Uncle, may I ask you, on what right do you want me, the prince, to kneel down and apologize to a mere concubine? Who gave you the right?"
"Also, you want to punish this prince just for a few words? Uncle, how is this any different from framing me?"
Ji Chenchuan spoke coldly without waiting for Ji Guitian to speak.
"Uncle, do you think I'm easy to bully because I'm sick and weak?"
"But uncle, everyone gets sick sometimes. If you are sick in bed one day, can I, your nephew, bully you?"
"As an uncle, not only do you not care about your nephew's health, but you also take advantage of his illness to kill him. If outsiders knew you were like this, I wonder if they would still do business with you?"
With every word Ji Chenchuan said, the feeling behind Ji Guitian grew colder, especially the last word, which even shook Ji Guitian's mind.
He stared at his incredibly beautiful nephew in disbelief. Was he still the same little boy who used to rush into his grandmother's arms, sobbing and begging for a hug and comfort? Also, were the reports he'd received over the years that he was harmless wrong?
Look at the person in front of me. When he's cold, he's colder than ice. How can he be weak at all? How can he be easily bullied?
Also, how did he know that he was doing business with someone else?
Ji Guitian was the eldest son of Marquis Wu'an, born to a concubine before the princess was married into the family. Of course, his birth was not very glorious, as his aunt had deceived the old marquis. It was not until the princess was married that his aunt dared to show her seven or eight-month-old belly. By then, it was impossible to abort this illegitimate child, and since the princess had just married into the family, she did not dare to add to the bloodshed.
So he was left like this.
His aunt was really good at calculating, and she had calculated everything as she wished. However, there was one thing she had not calculated. In order to conceal the fact that she was pregnant, she not only stayed indoors but also ate little. This made the delivery extremely dangerous, and she risked her life to give birth to him.
But when everyone thought that was the end of it, unfortunately, the aunt died of hemorrhage three days later. According to the old man who took care of his aunt at that time, the aunt died with her eyes open.
Thinking of this, Ji Guitian's heart hardened again. He would not believe that the princess had no hand in this. What's more, hemorrhage would only happen on the day of delivery, not three days later. Isn't this a lie?
How can I forget the revenge for my mother's murder?
And the princess, she actually arbitrarily passed the throne of the crown prince to Ji Chenchuan from the second wife? With the second wife dead, only Ji Chenchuan was left, why did she choose him as the crown prince?
His unwillingness once again made him realize that only when he became strong and capable could he take back the throne of the crown prince. So he secretly used the name of Wu'an Marquis' Mansion to do business with others outside, and also portrayed himself as a bastard who was targeted and plotted against by his mistress and could not survive, in order to win their sympathy.
Although he lied to them, it was not his fault. Who made them so stupid as to be deceived by him?
However, he was currently involved in a big deal. If his rivals got to know about this, not only would the deal fail, but his reputation would also be ruined and no one would do business with him anymore.
Ji Guitian pointed at Ji Chenchuan tremblingly, "You, you dare?"
Ji Chenchuan smiled without saying anything. Do you think he dares?
