Chapter 496: The Demon Concubine Who Brings Trouble to the Nation vs. the Bandit Emperor 107
Ji Da brought his men to surround them. He had followed them just now. If the young lady was in danger, he would not care whether it would alert the enemy or not. Protecting the young lady was the most important thing.
Fortunately, the lady is safe.
Ever since the young lady defeated Hong Xiangyu last time, Ji Da knew that the young lady was extraordinary. As expected of being General Ji's child, the young lady was truly gifted. Normally, he just thought that the young lady was just playing with a knife, but he didn't expect that she could actually do something great with it.
Ji Da said with a stern face: "Forget it this time, but if you do it again next time, I will tell the master!"
Ji Yunhuan smiled at Ji Da, "I know, I know what's going on. You're here to protect me, so I'm not afraid."
Ji Dana couldn't do anything about his own young lady, so he just kept on keeping a straight face and told everyone to be on guard.
Hong Xiangyu was so tired that she sat down on the ground. She wiped her tears, still in shock.
Ji Yunhuan patted Hong Xiangyu on the head and said with a smile, "You are very brave, aren't you? Are you crying now? How can Yuan trust you to leave the stronghold to you if you are so useless?"
Hong Xiangyu sniffed, her voice still tearful, "He will never hand over the village to me. He would like me to get married quickly and leave the village so that I won't be an eyesore to him."
"He must have been tired of me a long time ago, so he doesn't want to marry me. He won't marry me with or without you. I'm sorry, Sister Huan, I shouldn't have scolded you. You are a good person. You saved me today. I won't make trouble with you in the future."
Hong Xiangyu felt extremely guilty and didn't dare to look up at Ji Yunhuan at all. She just lowered her head and fiddled with the corner of her clothes.
Ji Yunhuan squatted down, gently lifted up Hong Xiangyu's face, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and carefully wiped the tears from her face.
"Okay, stop crying. You are so smart, why don't you understand A Yuan's painstaking efforts? Being a bandit is not an easy job. He just wants to follow the wishes of your adoptive father and let you leave the stronghold and live a peaceful life."
"But I told him last night that the village is your home. Since you don't want to leave, there's no need to force it. A Yuan and I are going to Lingnan in the future. As long as you can handle it, this place will be handed over to you."
"I know you don't like me. You're afraid that I'll take A Yuan away from you. You're afraid that A Yuan won't care about you anymore..."
Hong Xiangyu shook her head repeatedly and explained anxiously, "I didn't! I don't hate you now."
Ji Yunhuan helped Hong Xiangyu comb her scattered hair and tied it into a neat ponytail.
"Okay, okay, I get it. I saved you, and you're not an ungrateful bastard, nor an ungrateful person."
Hong Xiangyu was extremely ashamed. "I... I didn't mean that. I just spoke too quickly. I know Brother Lin is not that kind of person... I... I'm sorry... Brother must be very angry, right?"
Ji Yunhuan helped Hong Xiangyu up, straightened her clothes, and pulled her towards the meeting hall.
"No, A Yuan will never be angry with you, nor will he really blame you, because you are his sister. He will only blame himself for not teaching you well."
"Even if I get married to Yuan, family members are always family members. Will I ignore my parents after I get married? Yuan is the same. He will not ignore you. I will also be your family member in the future. There will be more people who care about you and love you. Isn't this good?"
Hong Xiangyu was completely convinced. She suddenly felt that she was so stupid before. Why did she have to marry Lin Yuan? She also said so many nonsense, even though Lin Yuan was very good to her.
The group had reached the top of the mountain and saw Lin Yuan standing at the door of the meeting hall from afar, looking forward to seeing him.
Seeing that Hong Xiangyu returned safely, Lin Yuan frowned and turned to go into the house.
Hong Xiangyu stood there, not knowing whether she should go in.
"Yu'er, people always show their worst side to their loved ones, hoping to gain endless tolerance, but people are made of flesh and blood. If you keep making trouble like this, A Yuan will also be sad."
"Actually, it's not me you feel sorry for. We've only known each other for a few days. I'm not hurt even if you scold me. The one you really feel sorry for is Yuan. You should apologize to him and try to comfort him. That idiot is easy to comfort."
Ji Yunhuan dragged Hong Xiangyu into the house.
Lin Yuan sat on the chair, staring down at Hong Xiangyu, his brows full of coldness, "You are so lucky! You still remembered to come back? Do you know what Wei Zhong did? If you dare to run to Wei Zhong again, I will break your legs!"
Ji Yunhuan sat down next to Lin Yuan. This guy only spoke harshly, but he was actually very worried in his heart.
Hong Xiangyu lowered her head, very honestly. For the first time, she did not go against Lin Yuan, but said calmly:
"Brother, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I will never run away again. Wei Zhong is a piece of shit. He colluded with outsiders to kill you. I was almost tricked by him."
"Brother, punish me, lock me up and beat me with a stick. I will be obedient in the future and never make you angry again. Sister Huan said you are very sad. Don't be sad. Daddy is gone and you are my only brother. I will not beat you or scold you in the future. I will treat you very well."
Lin Yuan felt a lump in his throat and he almost couldn't hold back the seriousness on his face.
She turned her head and glanced at Huan'er. Huan'er was really amazing. She had really convinced Xiangyu, and the girl finally stopped being angry with her.
Ji Yun laughed and said, "I originally thought I would have to spend some time explaining it to her, but she ran into Zhao Feiyu and Wei Zhong's conspiracy and was so scared that she lost her soul. Then she figured it out on her own."
"Okay, stop talking. You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. You are so powerful in words, but in fact you can't bear to punish her. You might as well make up for it."
Lin Yuan touched his nose awkwardly, barely maintaining his dignity as the boss, and said in a deep voice: "Then do as Huan'er says."
Ji Yunhuan explained all this and that until his mouth was dry. Hong Xiangyu obediently handed him a cup of tea and nodded in understanding.
"I understand. You want me to pass on false information to Wei Zhong and pretend to do something for him. Otherwise, I will go find Wei Zhong right now and tell him that I agree to cooperate."
Ji Yunhuan put down the teacup, touched Hong Xiangyu's head, and said with a smile: "There's no rush for this. If you're the one who's rushing, it's not a good deal. You took the initiative to deliver it to him, but he's still suspicious."
"Let's put on a show. When he sends someone to find you tomorrow, you can make a few more requests. You are so willful anyway, so it doesn't matter if he goes too far. Once he agrees, you can pass on the message to him."
"Remember, he is the one begging you. If you act a little bit stubborn occasionally, he will trust you more."
Hong Xiangyu nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, sister."
The next morning, the news spread throughout the village that Hong Xiangyu had secretly run away from the attic in the middle of the night, was caught by Lin Yuan, and was now tied up tightly and locked in the attic.
Lin Yuan was furious and yelled at Wu Kai who was begging for mercy, "I think she is just too full and is making trouble for no reason. From now on, I will only give her one meal a day. I wonder if she still has the strength to run!"
