Chapter 213: Vicious Female Supporting Character vs. Childless Emperor 57
Aunt Ji came out with a broom and chased away the big rooster that was fluttering around Ji Yunhuan. Her voice was so loud that it scared the chickens in the yard so much that they fled back to the chicken coop.
"Why did you get out of bed again? Your mother sent you here so that you can recover from your illness, not to have fun. You have ruined all the chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs at home. I told you that the chickens have already eaten. If you feed them again, they will not go out to look for food tomorrow."
Aunt Ji took the gourd from Ji Yunhuan's hand. There was still some rice left in it. Aunt Ji became even more angry. "This refined rice is for people to eat. Who told you to feed it to chickens? What a waste of food! And you let the chickens out. There will be chicken shit everywhere later. You will complain about it being dirty..."
Ji Yunhuan was afraid of Aunt Ji's nagging, so he immediately stuffed a piece of glutinous rice cake in his hand into Aunt Ji's mouth and begged for mercy:
"Alright, alright, Aunt Ji, please forgive me. I came here just to get some peace and quiet. I was scolded by my father at home, and by my elder and second brothers. My mother was even more exaggerated. She was also sick. She wanted to run to Linlang Garden ten times a day and cry when she saw me."
Aunt Ji swallowed the glutinous rice cake in her mouth, took away all the food in Ji Yunhuan's hand, and glared at her fiercely, "Don't eat anything carelessly, drink the medicinal food first, and you will say you are full and refuse to drink it later."
"I think you deserve to be scolded! You said you would drink such a poisonous wine. If you were my daughter, I would definitely beat you up to vent my anger. But my wife is too soft-hearted and couldn't bear to beat you!"
Aunt Ji raised the three children in the Prime Minister's Mansion. When Ji Yunhuan was born, Aunt Ji already had her own daughter, so Aunt Ji was also Ji Yunhuan's wet nurse and had a deeper affection for Ji Yunhuan.
Zhuo Wei trusted Aunt Ji very much, so she gave the farm closest to the capital to Aunt Ji.
When Ji Yunhuan was a child, she often went to Taoli Village to play. The villagers thought that Ji Yunhuan was Aunt Ji's niece. Aunt Ji's daughter was married and her husband was doing business outside. Every time Ji Yunhuan came, she was actually very happy.
Only she dared to teach Ji Yunhuan a lesson like this.
Ji Yunhuan gritted her teeth and drank the bitter and astringent medicinal food. She suspected that Aunt Ji was deliberately making things difficult for her, because the medicinal food Aunt Ji had made in the past was not so unpalatable.
In fact, she was fine. The incident happened suddenly that day and she didn't know Shangguan Ruoxue would poison her. She didn't have any poison remover on her.
She was able to stay alive because of those mysterious "treasures". She used detoxification pills and fake-death pills. If she didn't have the fake-death pills, she wouldn't be able to hide it from Zhao Hei and others.
Ji Yunhuan stuffed the medicine bowl into Aunt Ji's arms and said cheerfully, "I'll go catch the chickens! Don't worry, Aunt Ji, not a single one will run away!"
The crowing of a rooster was heard again in the yard. Ji Yunhuan was covered with chicken feathers. He stuffed the chicken back with great interest and took two eggs at the same time.
Aunt Ji shook her head and sighed, "A good young lady in the boudoir likes to provoke chickens and dogs to fight, and she won't stop for a moment. I don't know whose family she will bring trouble to in the future?"
A woman wearing a gray coat, a headscarf and with rough hands came out of the house and cleaned up the chicken feathers and dirt in the yard very quickly.
She wiped her hands on her clothes and nervously took the egg handed to her by Ji Yunhuan.
"We'll have scrambled eggs tonight. You don't have to be so scared. Aunt Ji is a good person. She'll take you in and won't chase you away."
The woman remained silent and went to the kitchen to cook.
Aunt Ji muttered, "It's obvious that you want to take her in. What is a woman with no relatives or friends doing in the capital? She knows nothing and refuses to say anything. How can we know if she is a bad person?"
"I don't think she's a woman in her thirties. She's in her early twenties at most. If you say she's poor, she can actually read. If you say she's a rich lady, her hands are even rougher than mine. She must have suffered a lot."
Ji Yunhuan teased the big yellow dog lying at the door with a meat bone and said with a smile: "She came from Jinzhou and must have looked old after being exposed to the wind and sun along the way. Aunt Ji, just do a good deed today. Anyway, I think your yard is in need of a maid to take care of it."
Aunt Ji said unhappily, "Okay, okay, okay! You always have your reasons. Stop playing. You're covered in chicken feathers. Go change your clothes and get ready for dinner."
The big yellow dog was barking. Ji Yunhuan had had enough fun and finally threw a bone to it. The big yellow dog wagged its tail and chewed the bone with great relish. It didn't even pay attention to the stranger hiding outside the yard.
Long Lin found a place to hide and secretly stared at Ji Yunhuan for a long time.
His heart was finally at ease. Only by seeing it with his own eyes could he be sure that Ji Yunhuan was really still alive!
It’s a pity that Ji Yunhuan will never recognize him again.
Just now he almost rushed out to meet her, but the barking of the big yellow dog brought him back to his senses.
If he came so rashly, he would not be able to explain the relationship between them at all. He needed to make Ji Yunhuan get to know him again.
————
The next morning, Ji Yunhuan heard the howling of a big yellow dog in the yard.
She felt something in her heart and rushed out impatiently, holding up her skirt.
The big yellow dog was guarding the door, not even bothering to eat the food in the dog bowl, and growling at the man at the door with bared teeth.
This guy came yesterday, but he didn’t bite anyone, so I let this bad guy go. But he came again today. He is so arrogant!
Before the man left, the big yellow dog pounced on him with a howl.
"Da Huang! Don't bite people!"
Ji Yunhuan called out, and the big yellow dog felt a little aggrieved, with its tail drooping. Ji Yunhuan added two pieces of meat to the big yellow dog, and the big yellow dog became happy and ate even more happily.
The two looked at each other as a breeze blew gently. The gardenias by the fence were in full bloom, with a subtle fragrance that was refreshing.
Time seemed to stop for a moment, and each other's shadows were reflected in their clear eyes.
Ji Yunhuan was waiting for Long Lin to speak first. When she found Long Lin, he was unconscious, and what she picked up was a cat, so she probably didn't know Long Lin, and naturally couldn't speak rashly.
The words in Long Lin's mouth turned for a long time, and his tongue seemed to be tied. Thousands of words were lined up to come out of his mouth, but he couldn't tell the order.
It was not until the big yellow dog finished eating the meat and started barking that Long Lin came to his senses. He took a step back and whispered, "Excuse me, young lady. I am a businessman passing through here. I am very thirsty and would like to ask for a glass of water."
"Ah?" Ji Yunhuan frowned. What was Long Lin trying to say? Shouldn't he reveal his true identity and repay the favor directly?
She worked so hard to save Long Lin, and even came to the farm specially just to be alone with Long Lin.
If it was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, where there were many people and eyes, it would not be easy for Long Lin to see her.
Long Lin was afraid that Ji Yunhuan would not believe him, so he took out the official document from his arms and explained seriously: "My surname is Feng Ling, I am from Suzhou, and I came all the way to the capital to do business. I am really not a bad person."
Ji Yunhuan looked at the pass in front of her that couldn't be more real. It recorded everything from Suzhou to Beijing. She could only pretend to believe it and brought a cup of tea from inside the house for Long Lin to drink.
The way Long Lin drank water was also very beautiful, with water drops sliding down his Adam's apple, and his slender fingers had distinct joints, and the coarse porcelain bowl in his hand seemed to become precious.
Ji Yunhuan took the porcelain bowl and touched Long Lin's hand imperceptibly. She felt it necessary to remind Long Lin of her life-saving grace.
Ji Yunhuan sighed quietly, with a sad look on his face, "I lost a cat, and I don't know if it died outside. Mr. Feng has been traveling around for business and has seen a lot. Have you ever seen a Persian cat from the Western Regions?"
