Chapter 862: The Prince of the Duke's Mansion vs. the Black Lotus Daughter 4
Ji Yunhuan shrank back, pulled his hand back, and greeted everyone politely, but he couldn't find any fault with them. However, his body was shaking violently, as if he was going to collapse at any moment.
Xu looked angry. In front of the distinguished guests, she acted as if Ji Yunhuan was abused by her family!
Xu apologized to Chu Feiyi, "This child is spoiled and doesn't know how to behave properly. If there is any negligence, please forgive me, Master Chu. It's all because of me, as a mother, who didn't teach him well."
"Although the Ji family is a small family, they only have two daughters. They are treated like treasures. Even if they make mistakes, they can't be blamed too much."
Chu Feiyi picked up the tea, took a sip and stopped moving. As a fifth-rank official of the Ji family, he had no network of connections in the capital city, let alone any power. He usually made friends with the rich and powerful. This was his first time entering such a small mansion.
Even the tea was not to my taste.
If that little maid hadn't been crying and saying those words, he would have had no contact with the Ji family.
Chu Feiyi was born with a pair of peach blossom eyes. He was used to hanging around in red-light districts and making all the girls fall in love with him. He had seen many women fighting for power and jealousy, so he could see through the little things in the Ji family without the maid saying much.
Chu Feiyi waved his folding fan and said with a smile: "It's just a small matter. I thought that Lord Ji, who was appointed as a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel, would not wrongly accuse his daughter. I didn't expect that Lord Ji turned out to be such a fool!"
Ji Changmao quickly stood up, a little embarrassed, "It's really my daughter who is naughty. I just scolded her a few words. It's just a little thing of a girl, but it disturbed Mr. Chu. It's my fault. Tomorrow I will hold a banquet in Chunfeng Tower to apologize to Mr. Chu."
Ji Yunhuan's body swayed and he started coughing violently. There was a little blood on the brocade handkerchief, which was glaringly red.
Mi Xue quickly helped the young lady to sit down and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the young lady.
Chu Feiyi could see clearly that this was not just a reprimand, but a family punishment. There were a lot of illegitimate sons and daughters in the Ningyuan Marquis' family, and the mother's way of disciplining the female family members was to ask them to copy Buddhist scriptures and put them under house arrest for a few days. The girls were so weak that they could not withstand a beating.
He folded the folding fan with a swish sound, and the handle of the fan slapped against his palm. Chu Feiyi couldn't help but frowned and his smile disappeared.
"I did see it that day. The girl in pink jumped down by herself. Her shoes and socks were only wet, but she didn't really fall into the water. It's likely that your legitimate daughter framed this concubine's daughter. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I've seen this kind of thing many times. If I hadn't been a witness, this girl would have been framed to death."
"It's common for girls to quarrel. It's OK to discipline them, but it's not worth mobilizing so many troops. Don't you think so, Master Ji?"
Ji Changmao nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Chu, what you said makes sense. It's not a big deal. It will be fine if we talk it out. But my eldest daughter has a hot temper. She got herself angry. She insisted on asking you to come over and explain it clearly. Alas, it's also my fault for not disciplining her properly."
Ji Yunhuan stood up and saluted towards Chu Feiyi, "I am very grateful to you for taking the trouble to make this trip."
Chu Feiyi stared at Ji Yunhuan. He had a good-looking appearance and looked delicate and weak, but he dared to make up a lie and said that he knew him. He was quite brave.
But being born in such a backyard, with a mistress who is sinister and vicious, if he really didn't have some cunning, the grass on his grave would be very tall.
"Miss, you're welcome. We've known each other for a while, and I have a few words to say to you. Is it convenient for you?"
Ji Changmao was secretly delighted. If Ji Yunhuan could serve Chu Feiyi, even if it was without any title or status, considering how much Ning Yuanhou loved his youngest son, as long as Chu Feiyi asked, he would definitely have a smooth career!
"It's convenient, I still have some official business to attend to, so I won't disturb you, Master Chu."
Xu was very angry. She didn't want Ji Yunhuan to marry into a high-ranking family like Ningyuan Hou. Just as she was about to open her mouth to refute, she was pulled out by Ji Changmao.
The maids and nannies all left tactfully.
Only Mi Xue stood there erect. She absolutely could not let the young lady and a strange man be alone in the same room.
Chu Feiyi didn't care that a little maid was here, crossing her legs and waving a folding fan in a disarray.
"It's fine if you know that I molested a nun. It's old news from last year. Many people know about it. As long as my father doesn't hear about it, it's fine."
"But the house on Feiniao Street, even if they investigate, they can't find me. How do you know that I spent a thousand taels of gold to redeem Yan Shuangfei? Who told you?"
Chu Feiyi was asking Ji Yunhuan, and Ji Yunhuan was also asking the ghost in his heart.
[Don't panic, just say that you are good friends with the prince of the Duke's Mansion, and he told you! ]
Of the three duke's mansions in Shangjing City, the most prominent one is the Yun Mansion. Duke Yun holds real power, and the other two mansions have declined. Now when people talk about the duke's mansions, they are talking about the most prominent Yun Mansion without mentioning their names.
Ji Yunhuan was so panicked that Yun Ye could even feel her fear.
[I can’t do that! It’s already too bold to associate myself with Master Chu. I’m lucky that Master Chu is willing to help me. How dare I associate myself with Master Yun?]
[Everyone in Shangjing City knows that Prince Yun has a bad temper. He has scolded the daughter of the Shangshu Ling and beaten the son of the Dong family. He has a bad temper and is the hardest to mess with. If he knew that I made up a story about him, he would definitely not let me go. I dare not~]
Ji Yunhuan was trembling with fear.
Yun Ye sighed. Women are timid and troublesome. If he said that he was Prince Yun, the woman would be scared to death.
[I am a deity from heaven. I feel sorry for you and came down to earth to help you. Don’t be afraid as long as I am here. As for Prince Yun, if you have the guts, let him confront you. I have my own way.]
Ji Yunhuan believed it immediately and continued speaking according to what the immortal said.
"Last year, I had the honor of meeting Prince Yun. He is handsome, talented in both civil and military affairs, cheerful and righteous, and has helped me a lot. Today, I have the audacity to invite Master Chu to come. I have no choice but to do so. Master Chu, rest assured, the matter of Feiniao Street will never be reported to your father."
"If Master Chu doesn't believe me, he should believe Prince Yun. The prince is the most loyal and will never betray his friends. He has also been very caring towards me. It is my daughter's blessing to have met Prince Yun in this life."
Chu Feiyi took a breath of cold air, his expression looking like he had seen a ghost!
Yun Ye is a guy who is stupid. He is sixteen years old but still not smart. He only knows how to wield guns and sticks and has no sympathy for women.
He either dislikes this girl for wearing too much makeup, or that girl's perfume is too strong, and he doesn't understand romance! When a girl throws herself into his arms, he will throw the delicate girl away as an assassin!
The girls in Chunfeng Tower all kept their distance from Yun Ye when they saw him. It was unexpected that there was a girl who lied with open eyes and praised Yun Ye against her conscience.
Chu Feiyi asked some more questions, and Ji Yunhuan was able to answer them fluently. It seemed that he knew Yun Ye better than his good brother!
Chu Feiyi believed it 80%, but he still had to ask Yun Ye in person to confirm it.
This trip was not in vain. Yun Ye actually has a girl he knows well, and he kept it a secret so well. It's really interesting!
