Chapter 64 Wen Qiyan, you're not allowed to love me! ...
He actually said those kinds of things to her again, leaving her with no way to respond.
Hmph, sweet talk! Who cares to listen?
Ji Wanyuan pursed her lips, unable to utter a single word, only letting out intermittent whimpers. Beads of sweat and tears rolled down her face, gathering into condensation on her jade-like skin, and her whole being exuded an incomparably alluring fragrance.
The moment the man finished speaking, he began kissing her again, his kisses tender and persistent. Ji Wanyuan felt as if she were being kissed into a meltdown.
Under his onslaught, she had already become a puddle of water, and now she was even more unable to solidify.
She said it was hot and she felt uncomfortable.
Where is it hot?
As his deep, resonant voice faded, his cool aura enveloped her. Even though she was pregnant, the woman still appeared petite, and she was completely encircled in the man's tall and imposing figure.
Even if she had the strength, she had no way to escape his control. During this time, he listened to her soft, fragmented sobs.
Looking at her eyelashes and nose, which were becoming increasingly red from repeated sobs, I couldn't resist giving her a peck.
Ji Wanyuan put it more accurately this time: "Don't kiss me anymore."
“I want to kiss you,” he replied directly.
Ji Wanyuan reached out and touched the man's chin, "You...you've kissed me so many times, and..."
And he hasn't left yet; in fact, he's still going on, as if he has no concept of satisfaction.
Ji Wanyuan felt like cursing again.
She finally realized just how annoying her previous entanglements with men had been.
Especially when the other person doesn't like you.
"You still have..." she said, choking back sobs as she spoke.
"How much longer until you finish?" She realized it had been so long, and Wen Qiyan still hadn't finished, even though he had already soiled her.
Not only was she soiled, but even the brocade quilt was stained.
Even without bowing her head or lighting a candle, she could clearly see that Wen Qiyan had soiled her.
Her entire body was filled with the scent left by Wen Qiyan, and there was also a sticky, messy feeling.
Waaaaah...
I'm so angry! All he does is bully her over and over again!
She had already decided in her heart that if her father succeeded in his rebellion, the first person she would deal with would be Wen Qiyan.
She would make this despicable man kneel on the ground, preventing him from even touching her skirt, let alone bullying her. She would make Wen Qiyan her slave...
She thought viciously to herself how to take revenge on Wen Qiyan in order to barely dispel the resentment and hatred she felt towards men at that moment.
She wanted to send Wen Qiyan to Youxian Courtyard to be its top courtesan, or dress him in women's clothes, put rouge on him, and send him to a brothel to serve customers. She would then shower him with money, leaving him bruised and battered, and severely humiliate him.
Make him cry, make him repent, make him kneel on the ground and weep bitterly with her, saying that he was wrong and would never dare to bully her like that again.
As she pondered, Ji Wanyuan didn't even realize that her expression had softened, and she was almost laughing out loud.
The man gently pinched her chin and shook it slightly, asking, "What are you thinking about?"
He not only noticed her distraction, but also seemed to sense that she was plotting something.
Ji Wanyuan sniffed and immediately said that she wasn't thinking about anything.
"If she wasn't thinking about something, would she be smiling so slyly?"
He actually called her treacherous?
Ji Wanyuan immediately composed herself, but was also somewhat embarrassed and angry, feeling that she simply could not tolerate it. "You're the cunning one! You're the reincarnation of the most cunning old fox in the entire capital! You're not only cunning, you're also insidious!"
"If you still have the energy to curse, why are you complaining about being tired?"
Ji Wanyuan felt like she'd been tricked again. "I didn't!"
She gave a spoiled snort, "Mind your own business! Wen Qiyan is just annoying anyway!"
"Hmm, I'm annoying." The handsome young man smiled noncommittally, echoing her words.
Not long after she finished humming, her voice immediately softened, even taking on a sob, as she weakly called out her husband's name.
"Wen Qiyan... I'm really tired..."
"Ji Wanyuan, now that you're happy, you're ignoring me, is that it?"
"I didn't do that!" she sobbed, pitifully pleading that he was clearly happy too, but he just wouldn't admit it.
Ji Wanyuan was forced to drift and turmoil amidst the spring breeze and rain.
Her long hair was soaked with sweat and tears from the two of them, sticking to her neck, some strands tangled with the man's hair.
She was truly forced to back down, and sobbing, she asked him if she could rest.
"Brother Qi Yan, Wan Yuan is so tired..." She started to whine seriously, hugging his waist and swaying, sobbing and shedding tears, looking so pitiful.
Upon hearing this, the man couldn't help but smile. "So tired?"
"Ugh, I'm so tired, can we take a break?" she said again, indicating that she couldn't take it anymore.
He used every trick in the book, from gentle persuasion to forceful cajoling. The man lowered his head and kissed her brows and eyes, and Ji Wanyuan trembled.
He replied with an "okay," and added, "Soon."
That's what she said, but Ji Wanyuan didn't feel that it was happening very quickly.
But because the man's movements were so gentle, and she was only pretending, she ended up falling asleep... she was being served so comfortably.
This left Wen Qiyan in an awkward position. He exhaled a hot breath and pinched her cheek, "..."
It was beyond doubt that Ji Wanyuan would be late the next day.
Thinking of what happened last night, she gritted her teeth and wished she could eat Wen Qiyan's flesh and drink his blood.
But let alone eating meat and drinking blood, she didn't even get to see Wen Qiyan's face.
According to Emerald, knowing that she was tired yesterday, the servants did not dare to disturb her. After having breakfast, Wen Qiyan went out with Prime Minister Ji.
"He went out with Father?" Ji Wanyuan asked curiously. "Where did they go?"
Even though the two families became in-laws, they rarely interacted publicly. Why would Father take Wen Qiyan out? Wouldn't that be ostentatious?
"I heard they went to their uncle's house."
"My uncle's house?" Ji Wanyuan asked, puzzled.
Just as she was puzzled, Emerald said to her, "Yes, Miss, you don't know yet, Miss Qingru has returned to the capital."
"Cousin Qingru is back?!" Ji Wanyuan was shocked, her watery eyes widening instantly.
"Yes, we've already arrived in the capital, which is why Master took his son-in-law to his maternal uncle's house. It's mostly because of Miss Qingru's return to the capital."
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back, Cousin Qingru?" It had been almost a year since she had last seen Cousin Qingru, how could she not be excited? She wanted to give her a welcome-back feast!
At this, Jade blushed. "Miss, you didn't get enough rest last night, did you?"
"Besides, the son-in-law instructed that you should not be disturbed and that you should rest." Upon hearing this, Ji Wanyuan gave another cold snort, sounding annoyed.
She gripped the jade spoon tightly. "That bastard Wen Qiyan certainly wouldn't have the face to make me get up early!"
Although the two have been bickering a lot lately, they are much more affectionate than before. When Emerald heard Ji Wanyuan say this, she wasn't really worried. Instead, she exchanged a glance with the maid next to her and couldn't help but secretly smile.
Before Ji Wanyuan could notice, he immediately straightened up and suppressed his smile.
"Why did Cousin Qingru suddenly return to the capital?" Back then, she was willing to leave the capital to marry this man, so why is she back now?
Jade told Ji Wanyuan the news she had learned. Upon hearing that Lou Qingru's husband had passed away due to illness, Ji Wanyuan couldn't help but sigh.
"Life is unpredictable," she sighed. "Cousin Qingru must be very sad; I must go visit her."
"Why don't you go when you're feeling better?" Emerald said again. "Originally, Madam was going to go too, but she was worried about you at home, so she stayed here to keep you company."
Just then, Madam Ji arrived.
Ji Wanyuan was very hungry, with a meatball stuffed in her mouth as she listened to Emerald's words. When she heard the greetings outside, she looked in the direction of the sound and saw Madam Ji vaguely calling out "Mother".
Just as she was about to get up, Madam Ji quickly waved her hand, telling her not to get up.
"My little darling, are you starving?"
Seeing her wolfing down her food, her cheeks bulging, Madam Ji couldn't help but pat her hair.
"Mmm, I'm so hungry." Ji Wanyuan nodded emphatically.
She was busy complaining, hurriedly stuffing in a meatball. She was about to say that it was all Wen Qiyan's fault for not knowing how to control himself, but before she could finish her sentence, she choked and started coughing violently.
"Oh dear, can't you speak slowly? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Madam Ji patted her back and told the servants to hurry up and bring tea.
Ji Wanyuan took a sip of tea and felt a little better, but her face was still very red from coughing.
After calming down, she still said it was all Wen Qiyan's fault.
Madam Ji coughed lightly, and before Ji Wanyuan could speak, she already knew what she was going to say.
She pinched the tip of her nose. "I told you to be more discreet, is this how you try to hide things from me?"
Ji Wanyuan: "But he bullies people."
"Mother, why did you side with him?"
Madam Ji smiled and said no, then changed the subject, "There was some unpleasantness at your uncle's house regarding your cousin Qingru bringing her child back to the capital, so your father went over to support her."
"What?!" Ji Wanyuan was furious. "Cousin Qingru won't be bullied, will she?"
"Of course not, it's just that..."
"Just what?" Ji Wanyuan frowned.
"There's going to be a commotion right now. It's too crowded and chaotic over there. You shouldn't go yet."
Ji Wanyuan said worriedly, "I want to go."
Lou Qingru is not only her cousin, but also her best friend.
"Your belly is getting bigger and bigger, where are you going? Wait until it's quiet over there before you go."
Ji Wanyuan was still unwilling, "But Wen Qiyan can go..."
Madam Ji sighed helplessly, "He's your husband now! Of course he should go on your behalf. Besides, although I don't like him either, I have to admit that he's a favorite of the Emperor and holds a high official position. If he goes with your father to support you, the chances of success will be greater. Haven't you already seen how difficult your uncle's family is?"
Oh, she had almost forgotten that Wen Qiyan was a shameless scoundrel.
Ji Wanyuan gave in, but her expression was still not very good. Madam Ji persuaded her for a while before she finally gave up.
"Oh right, I almost forgot about the important matter. Someone from the Wen family came with a message. It was your mother-in-law. She said that since you've gone back to your parents' home, you should take care of your health and get plenty of rest."
Ji Wanyuan snorted, "She really knows how to be a good person."
"What happened?" When Ji Wanyuan returned, Madam Ji didn't even have a chance to ask her what was wrong.
Hearing her tone now, I can't help but feel worried.
Ji Wanyuan recounted what happened at the Wen family home, emphasizing Lin Nianxi's repeated visits and Madam Wen's subsequent confinement of her to her quarters, but omitting the incident of Wen Qiyan and Wen Yunqin getting into a fight.
Upon hearing this, Madam Ji's face turned very ugly, and she immediately scolded Madam Wen several times, "You just stay at home, let Jiang Liyun like whoever she wants!"
"Mmm!" Ji Wanyuan was overjoyed that someone had stood up for her. She put down the jade spoon and immediately snuggled into Madam Ji's arms, acting coquettishly.
I thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, Madam Ji brought up the fact that Wen Yunqin and Wen Qiyan had taken action for her.
"What exactly happened? Are you not going to tell me if I don't ask today?"
Ji Wanyuan puffed out her cheeks and said, feigning hunger, that she wanted to eat.
Madam Ji was very patient, waiting for her to finish eating and drinking before continuing her questions.
Having no other option, Ji Wanyuan explained again, "It's not my fault!"
“It’s definitely not Yuan’er’s fault. When did Mother ever say it was your fault?”
"Really?" She was a little surprised.
"Hmm." Madam Ji put her arm around her and said that it was all because she was too good that other men couldn't help but be attracted to her.
"But... I still have to say something, you—"
Before Madam Ji could finish speaking, Ji Wanyuan sighed and interrupted, saying that she understood and would definitely keep her distance from Wen Yunqin! After all, there is a difference between uncle and sister-in-law.
“Yes.” Madam Ji smiled and pinched her cheek.
As night fell, Wen Qiyan followed Prime Minister Ji home, washed his hands, and prepared for dinner.
Noticing the man's gaze directed at her, Ji Wanyuan turned her face away and snorted.
When Madam Ji saw the "quarrel" between the two, she didn't say anything. She only asked what her maternal uncle's family had said about Prime Minister Ji's departure today.
"What else can I say? Qingru is a willful child, and things didn't go very well."
Upon hearing about Lou Qingru, Ji Wanyuan immediately perked up her ears.
When she heard that Lou Qingru was being criticized by her family for being unlucky, she angrily asked Prime Minister Ji if he had spoken up for Lou Qingru.
Prime Minister Ji sat down. "If there wasn't, why bother coming here today?"
Ji Wanyuan was relieved. "If my uncle's family can't accept Cousin Qingru, why don't we let her come to our house?"
"My father-in-law said the same thing today, but my cousin Qingru did not agree."
Ji Wanyuan exclaimed, then asked Lou Qingru why she was unwilling. Inwardly, however, she was wondering, "What kind of 'Cousin Qingru' is Wen Qiyan calling her that?"
"Your cousin has always been a woman of her own mind, so don't worry about her."
Prime Minister Ji said that this matter was temporarily settled. In short, he had already made his statement today, and he expected that the people there would not dare to bully Lou Qingru easily.
"That's good." Ji Wanyuan was somewhat relieved.
But after only a couple of bites of food, Prime Minister Ji said that he had thought about it and decided that while the situation in the capital was still stable, he wanted her to secretly leave the capital with Wen Qiyan.
"Leaving the capital?"
If Wen Qiyan wants to leave, fine, but why does she have to leave too?
Or did he leave Beijing secretly?
"Father, why do I have to leave?" Cousin Qingru had just returned, and she hadn't seen her yet, nor had they even caught up.
Prime Minister Ji said, "It is precisely because your cousin Qingru has returned to the capital that you must leave."
Madam Ji frowned in confusion, "Master, Yuan'er is still pregnant. How can she leave the capital? What if something happens on the way?"
Now that things have come to this, it's time to make things clear.
Prime Minister Ji said to eat first, and then they could talk.
Ji Wanyuan turned her gaze to Wen Qiyan and noticed that he was not at all surprised by what her father had brought up.
He must have known about this for a long time, and it's even possible that he was the one who brought it up?
Ji Wanyuan pondered to herself.
After dinner, Madam Ji couldn't wait to ask Prime Minister Ji why he had sent Ji Wanyuan away.
“Yuan’er has never left the capital, nor has she left my side. How could you let her leave the capital, sir?”
Ji Wanyuan remained silent.
She did not leave the capital.
Things have changed. They've started to change.
Previously, she had always hoped to change the direction of the storybook, and now that the direction of the storybook has indeed begun to change, she just can't be happy about it.
Because, who knows whether such a change is good or bad?
What will become of the storybook's ending? Will she die? Will the Ji family fall into ruin and be subjected to confiscation of their property?
When exactly did things start to change?
If you really think about it, it seems to have started after she had that dream and Wen Qiyan confessed to her.
Even though Wen Qiyan had been honest with her several times, she still couldn't completely believe that Wen Qiyan had truly submitted to the Ji family.
Even if he doesn't obey the court, he still has to consider the Wen family. His father and mother are still his relatives! Can he really abandon his family?
“I have always entrusted Ling Yue with the mining in Youzhou, but he has now secretly gone to meet with the Wuhuan people.”
When the Wuhuan people were mentioned, Madam Ji's expression changed.
That's Ji Lingyue's...
Because Wen Qiyan was present, Madam Ji did not speak out and tried her best to control her expression.
Even though he tried to hide his emotions, Wen Qiyan still noticed something amiss.
Since Madam Ji and Prime Minister Ji didn't say anything, he didn't press the matter further.
"I plan to send Qi Yan to oversee the mining industry in Youzhou."
Ji Wanyuan's eyes widened instantly.
Has Father gone mad? He completely trusts Wen Qiyan? Not only does he call him Qiyan so affectionately, but he also wants to send Wen Qiyan to supervise the mining in Youzhou?
"Master, you—?"
The first person to raise a question was Madam Ji. Although she didn't finish her sentence, her meaning was clear enough.
After all, Madam Ji's gaze fell on Wen Qiyan, and she hesitated to speak.
Prime Minister Ji did not explain in detail why he had Wen Qiyan supervise the process, only saying that he had his reasons for doing so, and that He Xun would also accompany him.
Mentioning He Xun, Wen Qiyan's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, but he remained silent.
"Father, you've said so much, but you still haven't explained why I insist on leaving the capital." Ji Wanyuan didn't want to leave in the first place.
“Yuan’er, the capital may appear peaceful now, but in reality, unrest has already begun.”
"Given the Emperor's patience, he will not allow you to give birth safely, because you and the child in your womb are the key to maintaining this marriage alliance."
Fearing that Ji Wanyuan might be frightened, Prime Minister Ji did not speak too directly.
The emperor arranged the marriage between the two in order to find out the location of the mining industry in Youzhou.
Now that the time has passed, it is only natural to break up the marriage between the two.
Therefore, the emperor would not allow Ji Wanyuan to safely give birth to the child, and might even eliminate her along with the child.
When Lin Jie entered the palace, his subordinates came to report the news. Although they did not know what he had talked about with the emperor, Prime Minister Ji knew that something must have happened. In addition, Ji Wanyuan had mentioned Lin Nianxi earlier, so he had a vague guess.
In addition, when he and Wen Qiyan went out today, they actually found an anonymous letter at the Lou family's mansion.
The letter stated that the Lin family had received an imperial edict that Miss Ji's pregnancy was in grave danger.
Who was the messenger? That was what Prime Minister Ji was thinking at the time.
On the way back, he asked Wen Qiyan what he thought, and Wen Qiyan said that if nothing unexpected happened, it should be Lin Sinian.
Lou Qingru had some past interactions with this eldest son of the Lin family.
Having the ability to communicate with the Lou family and learn about the Lin family's affairs, he could then secretly place the letter in the Lou family so that the two of them would know.
Apart from this Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, there really isn't a second person who could do it.
Wen Qiyan then recounted the events of the day to Prime Minister Ji.
Prime Minister Ji glanced at him, and after a long while, he finally said, "That's right."
Before even arriving at the Ji family residence, Prime Minister Ji swiftly made a decision, ordering Ji Wanyuan to secretly leave the capital, while Wen Qiyan would leave in a grand manner.
"If I leave, what will you do, Father and Mother?" Prime Minister Ji did not say it explicitly, but Ji Wanyuan understood that he was thinking of her safety.
"Don't worry, your father is here and will protect your mother. Once the situation stabilizes, your father will also send your mother away from the capital."
"Otherwise, you and your daughter will become the emperor's weakness and leverage to control your father."
“Although you are quite far along in your pregnancy, you are not yet due to give birth. In another month or two, you will truly be unable to move. While home is safe, it is still in the capital, under the emperor's nose. When your cousin Qingru returns to the capital, according to others' speculations, you will inevitably associate with her. Inviting her to the Ji family's door at that time can help to cover things up for a while. Therefore, you should…”
Ji Wanyuan sniffed as she listened to Prime Minister Ji's arrangements for her, and couldn't help but want to cry.
She nodded, trying to hold back, but she couldn't hold it in for long. In the end, she broke down and threw herself into Prime Minister Ji's arms, saying that she didn't want to leave the capital or her home.
Prime Minister Ji was stunned for a moment, then put his arm around his daughter, stroked her fluffy head, and said with a slight redness in his eyes, "Yuan'er, don't be afraid."
On the way back to the courtyard, Ji Wanyuan remained sullen.
She stopped in the corridor, furious, and glared at the man beside her. "Wen Qiyan, did you tell my father that I should leave?"
Knowing that she was dissatisfied, he deliberately picked a fight, after all, Prime Minister Ji had already made his point very clear.
The man, who knew she was throwing a tantrum, wasn't displeased at all; instead, he indulged her and let her rant.
"You're such a menace! The moment you arrived, I was about to leave home, all because of you!"
As she spoke, Ji Wanyuan's tears, which she had barely managed to stop, began to well up again.
The tall, handsome man, who had been enduring her playful scolding, sighed softly and reached out to pull her into his arms.
A cool, clear voice rang out, "Yes, it's all my fault. I couldn't bear to part with you and wanted to take you with me."
Ji Wanyuan listened, then raised her hand and patted his chest, "How could you be so mean?"
"Who gave you permission to like me? Who gave you permission to love me?!"
She nestled in his arms, her little face tilted up, tears clinging to her rosy cheeks.
"You're not allowed to love me! You don't deserve it!"
