Chapter 166: Vicious Female Supporting Character vs. Childless Emperor 10
Ji Yunping knew that his father didn't want to talk about these sad things, so he simply explained it to his sister.
"The old lady is the second wife. Our real grandmother passed away a long time ago. The old lady raised our father, so she must have some love for him. After our grandfather passed away, the old lady is the most senior elder in this mansion. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid you would be reckless. These are all old stories. You still have to respect the old lady when you are outside."
Ji Yunhuan immediately reacted, "My uncle is the old lady's biological son. Ever since my father sent my uncle back to guard the ancestral home, the old lady's attitude has changed. She has been finding fault with me and my mother, and even brought Shangguan Ruoxue to live with us."
"But it was clearly my uncle who made the mistake. Father has done his best to save his life. The old lady is really unreasonable."
Prime Minister Ji remained silent, but he held the teacup a little tighter.
Ji Yunhuan squatted down, looked up at his father, and said softly, "Father, don't be sad. The old lady favors my uncle, but father still has us. Huan'er will definitely be filial to father. Father's birthday is coming soon. Can Huan'er embroider a longevity picture for father?"
Prime Minister Ji's nose was sore and he almost cried, "Huan'er is really sensible. He still remembers his father's birthday. It's good that the thought is there. Be careful not to hurt your eyes. Let Qiaoyue do it for you."
He knew his own daughter well. Huan'er's needlework was definitely not good enough. He was content that his daughter had this kind of thought.
Ji Yunhuan pouted in dissatisfaction, "Humph! Father doesn't believe Huan'er, Huan'er must do it to open father's eyes!"
In her previous life, in order to compete with Shangguan Ruoxue, she practiced embroidery hard and made a sachet to honor her grandmother. Naturally, she was outdone by Shangguan Ruoxue, which led to a lot of ridicule and further confirmed the reputation of the Ji family's eldest daughter as an unlearned person.
She is so stupid. Instead of trying to please people who don't like her, she might as well be more filial to her parents.
Ji Yunhuan made her father laugh heartily with just a few words. She knew that her father and elder brother still had official business to discuss, so she consciously withdrew and went to the ear room next door.
As soon as she entered the room, she heard Xizi's sharp cry. The medicine bowl was scattered and the floor was in a mess. Xizi jumped into her arms as if escaping for his life, meowing non-stop.
Ji Yunhuan used the "cat language translator" and heard the emperor's angry accusations.
"Help! Protect me! He wants to harm me! He wants to drug me!"
The veterinarian's face was scratched with several bloody marks. He said with a bitter face: "I am incompetent and can't control your pet. Miss Ji, please find someone else."
Qiao Yue quickly explained, "There is dirt in Xizi's wound. If it is not cleaned in time, it will probably fester and form sores. I wanted to give it some drugs to make it fall asleep so that it would not feel any pain, but it reacted so strongly and refused to take the drugs."
Ji Yunhuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She thought Xizi might not understand the situation, so he refused to take the medicine.
She sat down with Xizi in her arms, took the medicine bowl handed over by the veterinarian, and discussed with Xizi in a gentle voice:
"Be good, drink the medicine and the pain will go away. Don't turn your head away, you really don't want to drink it? Don't scream when it hurts like hell later."
Long Lin particularly hated drugs that made people drowsy. He hated the feeling of being at the mercy of others. He would rather stay awake and in pain than take this kind of medicine.
“No!”
Long Lin meowed twice and slapped the medicine bowl away with one claw. The bowl fell to the ground and broke into two pieces. The brown medicine spilled on Ji Yunhuan's clothes.
Ji Yunhuan gnashed his teeth and said, "Okay! Very good! You don't want to drink, right? Then let me treat you like this. I'll give you a good pain so that you won't forget it!"
"You dare to scratch me and run away. If you run around and get caught by bad guys next time, you won't even know how you died!"
Ji Yunhuan held Xizi tightly, exposing his belly. The veterinarian could only clean the wound of the delicate Persian cat. He was terrified as he was afraid that he would accidentally kill Miss Ji's beloved pet with pain.
Long Lin gasped in pain, his chest heaving violently, but he insisted on not crying out or struggling.
The veterinarian's skills were excellent. He cleaned the wound in a short time and bandaged it. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed:
"The lady's pet is indeed extraordinary, with a bad temper and great strength. I will come back to see him tomorrow. When the wound has scabbed over, it will be fine."
Ji Yunhuan asked Qiao Yue to send the veterinarian out and rewarded him with a bag of silver. The Beast Taming Bureau was different from the Imperial Hospital. Taming wild beasts was very dangerous, but there was not much profit, so the veterinarian was happy to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion to treat a cat.
Long Lin half closed his eyes. He didn't want to die, so he cooperated. His wound was throbbing with pain and he let out a faint cry that sounded miserable.
Ji Yunhuan's anger had mostly subsided. He gently patted Xizi's back and said unhappily, "You are asking for trouble. It's good that you are afraid now. Stay by my side from now on. When your injury is healed, I will send you back."
"Don't worry, no matter what you become, I will help you, and the Ji family will also help you. You can't be an ungrateful cat, you must remember the kindness of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Ji Yunhuan carried Xizi back to Linlangyuan and asked someone to cook chicken and eggs for Xizi to change his taste.
After this experience, Xizi became much more well-behaved and no longer rejected Ji Yunhuan's arms, but this was only limited to Ji Yunhuan.
If the maids in the yard tried to hug him, he would just scratch them.
The days of petting cats were very happy. Xizi's wounds had almost healed, except for a bald spot on his abdomen and a hideous wound. Ji Yunhuan found the best scar-removing medicine to take care of him, and he should be able to recover as before.
Ji Yunhuan avoided several banquets in the name of recuperation. She didn't want to run into Long Haochang and his female confidantes again. Out of sight, out of mind.
In the blink of an eye, it was the Spring Equinox. Her mother finally got some free time. Seeing that her daughter had not been out for a long time, she wanted to take her to Daxiangguo Temple to burn incense.
When Long Lin heard the word "Daxiangguo Temple", his eyes lit up. He wanted to see the abbot. Since the abbot could calculate his calamity, there must be a way to help him regain his human form.
But Ji Yunhuan didn't seem to have any intention of taking him there. Long Lin got a little anxious and rubbed his palm against Ji Yunhuan's, meowing, "I want to go to Daxiangguo Temple, too!"
Ji Yunhuan enjoyed Xizi's rare coquettish behavior. She hugged him and kissed him hard for a few times. It was not until Xizi became impatient and struggled to escape from her arms that she held Xizi and said with a smile, "You want to go out and play, right?"
Long Lin meowed and nodded frantically.
Ji Yunhuan pretended to be distressed and said, "It's very troublesome to take you out. I have to split my attention to take care of you. How about this? You stay with me tonight and stay quiet. I will take you to Daxiangguo Temple reluctantly tomorrow. How about that?"
