Chapter 178: Vicious Female Supporting Character vs. Childless Emperor 22
"Ah?" Mei Lingshuang's face flashed with confusion, and she subconsciously retorted: "But I'm already engaged to Master Hao, how can I marry someone else?"
Ji Yunhuan wiped the stone bench with his sleeve and enthusiastically pulled Mei Lingshuang to sit down. Qiao Yue tidied up the table very attentively and soon placed hot tea and snacks on the chipped stone table.
Mei Lingshuang looked at the mess in the yard and felt embarrassed. "Thank you, young lady. I will compensate for all the losses today."
Ji Yunhuan waved his hand, "No, no, we are one family and we should keep our differences. My second brother has money, so we can just use his account to pay for the garden."
"You always say that you are engaged to Master Hao, but you don't know the rules in the capital. Marriage is a big deal, and you have to go through three letters and six ceremonies. It can't be done by just exchanging tokens. Apart from anything else, you didn't even take the betrothal gift, how can it be considered an engagement?"
Mei Lingshuang took out a small wooden hairpin, shaped like a plum branch, with two plum blossoms carved on it. "He was penniless at the time and had a brain injury, so he couldn't remember anything. But he carved this hairpin for me and said it was a betrothal gift. That's why I gave him the plum blossom seal and set a date for the wedding."
Ji Yunhuan almost laughed out loud, "Lady, you are too gullible, aren't you? You can be dismissed with a piece of wood? Both parties' parents haven't met, their horoscopes haven't matched, and the marriage certificate hasn't been exchanged. You don't even know if he is a human or a ghost. How dare you let him be your husband?"
Mei Lingshuang's mind was in a mess. She didn't know why she blushed and her heart beat fast when she saw Master Hao. Even though she was very skilled in martial arts, she was still a woman. It was a rare opportunity for her to fall in love for the first time, so why would she think so much?
When her father saw that Master Hao was handsome, well-spoken, and good at martial arts, he liked this son-in-law very much and asked her to take the plum blossom seal as a token of trust.
"But the plum blossom seal is still in his hand. I must ask him for clarification. I don't believe he will betray me. He swore that he would marry me."
Ji Yunhuan touched the jade pendant in his hand. In his previous life, this jade pendant should have been in the hands of Long Haochang.
Mei Lingshuang broke into the Prince's Mansion to find Long Haochang to argue with him. No one knew what happened, but in the end the heroine was coaxed into submission. Not only did she not get the plum blossom seal back, she also gave away her jade pendant.
The young master of Meiling Villa and a famous chivalrous woman in the world of martial arts finally gave up everything and entered the palace, becoming the jealous woman in Long Haochang's harem.
Meiling Villa was naturally taken over by Long Haochang, who became his most powerful minion.
Now that this jade pendant has been given to my second brother, it means that there is still room for improvement.
Ji Yunhuan pulled his second brother over, and turned him around in front of Mei Lingshuang, then patted his second brother on the shoulder and praised him loudly:
"Look at him, lady. His martial arts are impeccable. You have just tried it. He is not bad looking either. Although he is a little dark, his nose is right and his eyes are right. He is very energetic. If you like handsome men, I will take you to meet my eldest brother some other day..."
Ji Yun'an was both ashamed and angry. He slapped his sister's hand away, his neck red with anxiety. "What nonsense are you talking about! I'm healthy. I can't even look down on you, brother! And I don't want to get married..."
Ji Yunhuan stuffed his second brother's mouth with a piece of cake and said unhappily, "If the female knight sister likes you, it's your blessing. She has a good figure, good looks, good family background, everything is good. If I were a man, I would marry her myself. What does it have to do with you?"
Mei Lingshuang had never heard such straightforward compliments, and two blushes appeared on her cold face.
Her martial arts skills were so high, and Meiling Villa was so famous in the martial arts world that even the martial arts masters did not dare to be rude to her, otherwise she would not have fallen in love so late.
Long Haochang was the first person who said he wanted to marry her, so she traveled thousands of miles to the capital to follow him.
Ji Yunhuan poured a cup of scented tea for the heroine, staring at Mei Lingshuang with his sparkling eyes and his tone was very sincere.
"Don't worry about him, lady. There are many good men in the capital. It's hard to find a three-legged frog, and it's even harder to find a two-legged husband."
"Our family is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and we have many connections. My eldest brother is in the Imperial College, and there are a lot of young talents there. But I still think that you and my second brother are the best match. My second brother is a piece of wood, and he is devoted to martial arts. He is clean and tidy. Even female mosquitoes will avoid him. Isn't he much better than that fickle Master Hao?"
Mei Lingshuang looked at Ji Yun'an carefully for the first time.
She has been in the martial arts world for many years and has met many men. Mr. Hao's advantage lies in his extraordinary temperament and aura. As long as he stands there, everyone's eyes will fall on him.
If you think about it carefully, Master Hao's appearance can only be considered above average, while Ji Yun'an is actually better looking.
Ji Yun'an felt uncomfortable being stared at, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He glared at Ji Yunhuan and said angrily, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll sew your mouth shut."
Ji Yunhuan made a face at his second brother and hid behind Mei Lingshuang. "I'm not afraid of you. Come here if you dare. Sister Hero will protect me!"
The brother and sister were playing and fighting around Mei Lingshuang. Mei Lingshuang felt suddenly enlightened, as if something was opened up. It turned out that she didn't have to marry Long Haochang!
She grabbed Ji Yunhuan's hand, swung her sword across, and stopped the aggressive Ji Yun'an.
"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Thank you for your guidance, young lady. I will give you this jade pendant. I don't think your second brother really needs it, so it's just right for you."
"Master Hao has become the crown prince. He will definitely have three wives and four concubines in the future. He will never go back to Meiling Villa with me. I don't want to stay in the capital and watch him being affectionate with other women all day long. But the plum blossom seal is still in his hand. It's all my fault for being impulsive and not using it as a token of my love."
Ji Yun'an patted his chest and said loudly: "This is easy. I will sneak into the Prince's Mansion tonight and help you steal it back. I'm not doing this for you, I just don't like Long Haochang!"
Ji Yunhuan rolled his eyes at his second brother and said disdainfully, "You only know how to use brute force, you idiot! Do you know where the plum blossom is? Do you know what it looks like? Can you tell the real thing from the fake? You're still stealing, but can you steal it? What if you get yourself into trouble, how are you going to end it?"
Ji Yun'an was very unconvinced, "If you can do it, go ahead. Do you have any other ideas?"
Ji Yunhuan leaned close to Mei Lingshuang's ear and whispered something like this. Ji Yunan scratched his head but was too embarrassed to go over.
Mei Lingshuang looked a little strange after hearing this, "Is this method really feasible? Master Hao is not that stupid, right?"
Ji Yunhuan smiled inscrutablely, "You have to go find him anyway, there's no harm in giving it a try. If it doesn't work, we can think of another way."
After Mei Lingshuang figured it out, she let it go completely and was no longer interested in killing Shangguan Ruoxue. It was strange to say, she hated people who bullied the weak the most in her life, but today she was like a possessed person and had to hunt down a weak woman who had no martial arts skills.
Mei Lingshuang used tea instead of wine to toast Ji Yunhuan, "I understand. Thank you very much, young lady. If you can really get the Plum Blossom Seal back, Plum Blossom Villa will reward you handsomely. Goodbye!"
