Chapter 087 It's my brother
Liang was furious, pointing at his nose and scolding: "As expected, you are just after Yue Ge'er's dowry, and you are the one who is spreading rumors behind the scenes."
"If you want to slander them, just ask them to come over and confront them face to face." Ji Qingyue looked at Ji Fulai: "What does Dad mean?"
The eyes of several people gathered on Ji Fulai.
Ji Fulai had a gloomy face: "Brother Yue, no matter what, Liang is also your stepmother. Do you really want to do this and embarrass her in front of outsiders?"
"Outsiders?" Ji Qingyue sneered: "In that tall and majestic Ji Mansion, I am the outsider, right?"
"Enough!" Ji Fulai interrupted him: "Yuan Ming's provincial examination is coming soon. Let's do this for today. I will find out everything after I go back. If what you said is true, I will naturally give you an explanation, but if it is false..." "
You can kill me or behead me." Ji Qingyue said coldly.
Ji Fulai's face trembled.
They are obviously a family, but Ji Qingyue said as if he was a cold-hearted outsider. He
couldn't stay any longer, so he flicked his sleeves and walked out.
Liang Ru hurriedly followed, and her skirt almost tripped her.
After they all left, Ji Qingyue collapsed on the chair, his face a little pale.
Yuan Ming quickly poured him a cup of hot water and asked: "Are you feeling uncomfortable again? It's my fault. I shouldn't have let you confront them head-on just now."
Ji Qingyue hugged his neck and shook her head gently: "I'm fine. I have long known that my father has few relatives and regards his face and power as much more important than his family. I took advantage of this, but when I really saw that he didn't care about Mrs. Liang, I couldn't help but feel sad, as if I saw myself in the past."
Yuan Ming didn't know how to comfort him after hearing this, so he could only hug him tightly.
"But I'm fine. I'm much luckier than her. Now I have a husband and a mother, my elder brother is still alive, and I will have a child soon." Ji Qingyue forced a smile.
Yuan Ming said, "That's different."
Ji Qingyue didn't say anything.
Because of Ji Fulai and his wife, Yuan Ming and Ji Qingyue's mood was somewhat affected. After a simple dinner, they strolled around the yard twice and went back to their room to rest.
The next morning, when Yuan Ming woke up, there was no one around him.
He was startled and got up quickly. He didn't even bother to put on his coat and ran out while calling Ji Qingyue's name.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw a busy figure in the yard - Ji Qingyue was picking flowers.
When the house was rented, there were many flower pots in the yard, and there was a cluster of very tall wild lilies in the corner of the wall, with yellow and white flowers.
When Fu Zhiyan hired a gardener to take care of the front garden, she asked him to decorate this place as well. Without weeds competing with the lilies for space, they have grown more beautiful during this period.
Yuan Ming slowed down his pace and asked, "Qingqing, why did you get up so early today?" Ji
Qingyue didn't look back, and carefully cut a flower along the root of the branch.
"My husband is up! There is porridge and egg pancakes in the kitchen. You can go and eat them. I will be done here soon."
Yuan Ming stood by the garden and watched for a while. Seeing that Ji Qingyue was in a stable mood and didn't need his help, he went to wash up and have breakfast.
After a while, Ji Qingyue came in with a basket. A dozen yellow lilies were neatly placed in the small bamboo basket, and there were some unknown small flowers beside them.
"It rained a little last night, and the flowers are more beautiful. I am reluctant to cut them."
Yuan Ming took a look. Dewdrops hung on the petals, making the leaves more tender and tender, which made people drool.
"Why do you suddenly want to pick flowers?"
Ji Qingyue was silent for a moment, and touched the chair leg with her toes: "I want to see my mother, she likes yellow lilies the most."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Ji Qingyue agreed.
After breakfast, the two changed into plain and light clothes and shoes, and went to the Ji family's cemetery together.
After serving as the county magistrate for decades, Ji Fulai had already moved the Ji family's ancestral tomb here, occupying a good place with mountains and water.
Luo Sujuan died young, and she had not committed any of the seven grounds for divorce. As a matter of course, she was buried in the Ji family's ancestral tomb. There was an empty tombstone next to her, which was prepared for Ji Fulai.
Ji Qingyue placed the flowers with dewdrops on them in front of the tomb and knelt down.
Yuan Ming knew that he must have a lot to say to his mother. After kowtowing three times, he walked silently to the other side and cleared the weeds around him.
After a long while, Yuan Ming was about to get up to see what Ji Qingyue had said, when he heard the sound of footsteps on branches from the right behind him.
With a click, Yuan Ming quickly turned around and saw a figure rushing over.
Yuan Ming was startled, but he had no time to dodge, as the man had already come close.
The unique cold touch of a sword touched his neck, but fortunately it was not the blade but the scabbard.
It seems that the opponent is not really a vicious and evil person.
Yuan Ming tried to calm himself down and lowered his voice, for fear of disturbing Ji Qingyue and letting people discover him.
"This hero, you and I have no grudges. It is not appropriate to fight with swords when we meet by chance?"
"Tell me, why are you here?"
Yuan Ming thought for a while and said, "This is the cemetery of the county magistrate's family, and I am his son. Is there any problem with me being here?"
Hearing this, the man's breath suddenly became much colder.
"You'd better tell me the truth. My sword has seen blood before. I can't guarantee what will happen when it is unsheathed."
His breath was close to Yuan Ming's ears, with a chilling coldness.
Yuan Ming asked back: "Then who are you? Why do you come to someone else's cemetery in such a grand manner and question my identity without any reason!"
The man seemed to be amused by his words and said in a sharp voice: "Then I will let you die knowingly. I am the son of the county magistrate, Ji Lingyun." As
soon as these words came out, before Yuan Ming could react, a scream rang out from the other side of the tomb.
Ji Qingyue ran out with red eyes.
He looked at the familiar yet strange man in front of him, and tentatively called out: "Big Brother..."
The man was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him.
"Brother Yue!"
"Big Brother!"
Ji Lingyun didn't care about Yuan Ming at all, and pushed him away, quickly walked to Ji Qingyue, grabbed his shoulders and looked at him from left to right.
"You're still as pretty as when you were a kid, white and tender, but..." He looked around Ji Qingyue: "You look a little fatter than when you were a kid, hahaha!"
Ji Qingyue burst into laughter: "Big Brother, what are you talking about!"
Yuan Ming stood aside with interest, quietly watching the two siblings reunite after a long separation.
Ji Lingyun caught a glimpse of him from the corner of his eye, frowned, and stood in front of Ji Qingyue: "Why haven't you left yet? What are you doing here?"
Yuan Ming: "..."
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Ji Qingyue quickly grabbed Ji Lingyun's hand and said to him: "Brother, you misunderstood, I am my husband, I am not getting fat, I am pregnant."
Two thunders came one after another, knocking Ji Lingyun unconscious.
His impression of Ji Qingyue was still a small white ball, and when he saw her again in the blink of an eye, she was not only married, but also pregnant.
There were two people when they came, and three when they left, but the atmosphere became even more dead silent.
Yuan Ming was stared at by his brother-in-law the whole way. He was in a terrible state, but he was able to keep a calm face. It can be said that he was very strong inside.
When they arrived at the county town, Yuan Ming and Ji Qingyue led Ji Lingyun back to the courtyard. When they passed by Ji's house on the way, Ji Qingyue not only did not stop, but also did not even take a glance away.
Ji Lingyun rubbed his fingers and keenly noticed that something was wrong.
However, he did not ask about it at the first time. The most important thing at the moment was to find out about his younger brother's marriage.
In his opinion, Ji Qingyue was noble and willful, and she should marry a young man of equal status, either from a scholarly family or with a huge fortune, but Yuan Ming had neither.
He even suspected that all this was a conspiracy of the Liang family.
Ji Qingyue had no idea what her brother was thinking, and when she got home, she immediately took him to the guest room.
Yuan Ming tactfully left the space for the two of them and went to the kitchen.
Ji Lingyun saw Yuan Ming squatting by the well washing vegetables through the window paper, and then looked back at Ji Qingyue, who was half lying on the couch with a plate of snacks next to him, which Yuan Ming had bought on the way back just now.
He couldn't help but feel a little complicated.
