Chapter 011 Making the Decision

Ji Qingyue was so angry that her lips trembled. According to what she said, if he forcefully took the house away today, he would be to blame if anything happened to Ji Jinbao in the future.

"Madam." Yuan Ming held Ji Qingyue's hand and said, "If I remember correctly, this house is not only Qingqing, but also the residence of the late mother-in-law."

When Liang Ru mentioned the late Madam Luo Sujuan, her expression became a little ugly, and she forced a smile: "That's right, but my sister has always been kind and tolerant. If she knew the whole story, she would not blame us."

"Oh?" Yuan Ming took a step forward and said in a grim tone: "Madam, you are so sure, did your mother-in-law tell you?"

Liang Ru's face turned pale and glared at him: "Yuan Ming! What are you talking about? Grandpa!"

Ji Fulai frowned. It is difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs, let alone his own family affairs.

"Yuan Ming, you have gone too far."

Yuan Ming apologized obediently and stepped back.

Before Liang Ru could be happy for a moment, Yuan Ming said again: "Mother-in-law is indeed tolerant, but if she knew that her son was being bullied and plotted against everywhere, would she still help the young master get rid of the evil spirit?"

Yuan Ming's eyes were deep and sharp, full of ridicule, as if he was looking at a little clown.

Liang Ru only glanced at him and quickly looked away, feeling that she had been seen through by him, and all the plots and calculations of these years were in his eyes.

Impossible, how could this be possible? How could Yuan Ming, a scholar from a village, know something that Ji Qingyue herself didn't know?

After calming herself down, Liang Ru said with a wry smile: "I have carefully kept all of Yue'er's things and placed them in the new yard next door. How can you say it is bullying and conspiracy? I have no choice for the sake of my son."

"But everything in this yard was designed by my mother..." Ji Qingyue looked at the unrecognizable house, her vision becoming a little blurred.

Liang Ru seemed to have forgotten the current situation, and still thought Ji Qingyue was the fool who let her do whatever she wanted. She said in a gentle and persuasive way: "Be good, Yue'er. This time, I beg you. I promise to build an identical yard outside, which will be no worse than the previous one."

This sentence completely upset Ji Qingyue, and he shouted: "Why! I am the legitimate son of the Ji family. Ji Lingling took away my fiancé. Because of Ji Jinbao's birth, my elder brother had to join the army. Now, even my mother's yard is taken away!"

Ji Qingyue never wronged himself. He didn't care about all kinds of things in the past, but it didn't mean that he didn't know.

After talking about them one by one, Ji Fulai felt a little embarrassed.

He frowned and said in a stern voice, "That's enough."

Liang Ru's heart skipped a beat. Having been married to Ji Fulai for many years, she knew him best. Such an expression meant that he was really angry, so she could only shut up in displeasure.

"This yard belongs to Sujuan. She accompanied me when I was poor. At the beginning, there was only this yard in the whole house. After the expansion, I promised her that this place would always be kept for her no matter what happened." Ji Fulai's face showed a trace of nostalgia: "I didn't have time to let her live a good life. I have broken many promises in the past. This time I can't let her down again."

He paused and looked at Liang Ru: "Clean up the yard and restore it to its original appearance."

Liang Ru was shocked: "Master! What about Jinbao!"

"Go to Zhengyuan Temple to find monks again. I don't believe that such a big Ji Mansion has only this place to use." Ji Fulai's tone was unquestionable. He glanced at Liang Ru: "You take Jinbao and go to Zhengyuan Temple in person."

Liang Ru had no choice but to agree.

Because of this incident, Yuan Ming and Ji Qingyue lost their initial relaxed mood and simply sat in the small pavilion, watching the servants coming in and out to move things.

After putting the last thing in place, Ji Qingyue's tense face finally showed a smile. She didn't care that the servants were still in the room and threw herself into Yuan Ming's arms, saying softly, "Thank you, husband. You are so nice."

Yuan Ming rubbed the top of his head and said softly, "You are not nice at all. Qingqing told me that although Madam Liang is not your biological daughter, she treats you very well. I am very merciless in my words, and I am afraid that it will affect the relationship between Qingqing and Madam Liang."

These words reminded Ji Qingyue, and he began to have some doubts. Nan Nan said, "Is Madam Liang really nice to me?"

Yuan Ming didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

At present, Ji Qingyue has not experienced much, and his mind is simple. He always speculates everyone's behavior with the best attitude. He can't tell him the bad intentions all at once, but he can give him some hints when necessary so that he can be aware of it himself and not lose everything in the end.

After cleaning up the house, the servants came in and called them to the dining room for dinner.

This time, there was only Ji Fulai at the table. Until the food was served, Madam Liang and Ji Jinbao were not seen.

Ji Jinbao was studying at the academy in the county. He didn't come back for lunch. He should be there at dinner time. Ji Qingyue asked innocently: "Where are Madam and Jinbao? Why don't you call them over?"
