Chapter 930 Extra Chapter: Xuan Yun 12
"he?"
Youlan didn't quite understand Xu Yunzhi's words.
Xu Yunzhi gestured towards Ji Wenxuan with his lip, "Do you know how his father died?"
Youlan naturally couldn't possibly know the secrets of the Ji family.
She shook her head, her gaze falling on Ji Wenxuan's face. Seeing that he seemed unhappy because of Xu Yunzhi's words, she looked at Xu Yunzhi with a questioning gaze.
"General Ji was betrayed by his own brother and almost died on the battlefield. Although he survived, he lived a life of misery. So the Ji family you mentioned are more like sworn enemies to Wenxuan than family."
Just now, Youlan said that she and her biological father were enemies, so Xu Yunzhi told him that Ji Wenxuan and her biological father were also enemies.
Having grown up in the brothel to her twenties, Youlan wasn't completely unaware of the news. She had heard about the story of Ji family's eldest son almost dying on the battlefield.
"Who knows if you're just making excuses?"
Youlan snorted coldly; she didn't trust the Ji family at all.
Whether it's an excuse or not, you'll find out for yourself later.
Ji Wenxuan suddenly spoke up, clearly indicating that he did not intend to say much more about his father's topic.
Upon seeing his appearance, Xu Yunzhi waved his fan and leaned back a couple of feet.
Xu Yunzhi considered himself to know Ji Wenxuan quite well, and since he had spoken, he must have already made a decision.
Sure enough, he said, "I'll find the madam to redeem you in a bit. Go back and pack your things, and also your mother's memorial tablet."
Ji Wenxuan's opening remarks were a bombshell, and Youlan was momentarily confused by his meaning.
"what you up to?"
Youlan didn't feel that Ji Wenxuan's redemption of her was out of pity. Besides, she didn't feel she needed to be pitied.
Youlan's wary gaze did not escape Ji Wenxuan's eyes. "What do you think I can do?"
If we didn't know before, that was one thing, but now that we do, we can't let her stay in a place like this anymore.
Youlan said somewhat displeasedly, "I am not a member of your Ji family!"
"That's not something you can decide!"
Ji Wenxuan was also very assertive, and he clearly wouldn't allow Youlan to question his decision regarding the redemption.
After glancing at Youlan, Ji Wenxuan immediately got up and walked out.
Xu Yunzhi understood that Ji Wenxuan was planning to go to the madam, so he looked at Youlan and slowly said, "There's nothing he can't do. Besides, it's not a bad thing for you to go back to the Ji family. At least you can go find that old woman who bought your mother here and caused the tragedy between you and your mother."
Xu Yunzhi may seem like an outsider, but in reality, he is helping Ji Wenxuan and causing trouble for that old woman in the Ji family.
From Ji Wenxuan, Xu Yunzhi learned the truth about the death of the old general's wife. Originally, Ji Wenxuan wanted to kill that old hag directly.
However, because the old general had returned, and because her mother and brother had already separated and lived separately, Ji Wenxuan wanted to see what kind of life the second branch of the family would lead in the future.
After hearing Xu Yunzhi's words, Youlan's eyes flickered involuntarily.
Although she never admitted to being a member of the Ji family, if she could cause trouble for that family and see them suffer, wouldn't that be much better than staying here?
In just a moment, Youlan understood the key points.
Soon Ji Wenxuan returned with the madam. Tempted by money, the madam initially refused to allow Youlan to redeem herself.
But Ji Wenxuan told her that if she didn't agree, he would shut down her brothel the next day and force everyone there to become military prostitutes.
How much money do brothel owners earn in a day these days? If they were to become military prostitutes, wouldn't they be losing a fortune?
After weighing the pros and cons, the madam decided to agree to let Youlan redeem herself.
"Youlan, pack your things and go with this young master in a bit!"
The madam spoke politely, but Youlan still saw the pain in her eyes.
As Youlan glanced at Ji Wenxuan, she thought that Ji Wenxuan must have threatened the madam, otherwise, given her greedy nature, how could she have let her leave?
"It's Mom!"
Youlan agreed, bowed to the two of them, and quickly withdrew.
Although she didn't want to admit it, after figuring out everything, Youlan was eager to leave this place and get to the capital as soon as possible.
Ji Wenxuan took Youlan directly back to the General's Mansion. After entering the house, Ji Wenxuan first told Youlan to rest well.
The next day, Ji Wenxuan asked Xu Yunzhi to help invite a governess to take care of Youlan.
Since they were going to the capital, Ji Wenxuan naturally needed to give Youlan a major makeover so as not to embarrass the Ji family.
Because she had distanced herself from any conflict of interest, and because the madam had arranged for someone to teach her music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, Youlan learned these skills much faster.
After a month of hard training, Youlan finally got rid of the bad habits she had brought from the brothel.
"In two days, I will have someone secretly send you back to the capital. At that time, you will have a new identity and a pair of adoptive parents."
As Ji Wenxuan sat down at the dining table, he gave Youlan his instructions.
Youlan nodded. "Thank you for your trouble."
Youlan is older than Ji Wenxuan, so logically Ji Wenxuan should call her "elder sister." However, since Youlan is Ji Wenxuan's subordinate now, he naturally can't bring himself to do so.
"It's just a mutually beneficial arrangement."
Ji Wenxuan didn't show any particular expression. Putting aside the fact that he and Youlan had no past interaction, he still felt uneasy simply because she was the second master's child.
Since entering the General's Mansion, Youlan has heard a lot about the Ji family and learned about the actions of Ji Ershu. Her opinion of Ji Wenxuan has gradually changed.
Seeing his indifferent expression, she didn't say anything more.
"Are you planning to send her back to Beijing so soon?"
Xu Yunzhi sat on the recliner, looking extremely relaxed.
Ji Wenxuan nodded: "It's not a good thing to have a woman staying in the mansion for a long time."
Xu Yunzhi glanced at Ji Wenxuan and saw the weariness in his eyes. He knew that Ji Wenxuan had indeed been working hard lately, and his heart stirred slightly.
"Want to go to a restaurant for drinks tonight?"
Ji Wenxuan hadn't been drinking these past few days, so when he heard Xu Yunzhi say that, he immediately nodded in agreement.
After downing three bowls of liquor, Ji Wenxuan was a little dazed. Looking at Xu Yunzhi's slightly flushed cheeks, Ji Wenxuan couldn't help but swallow.
"To be honest, I really hate the people from the second wife's family, especially that old hag. I saw her bully my mother a lot when I was a child."
"But for some reason, I actually redeemed her granddaughter and even taught her so many manners and etiquette that only young ladies should have. Yunzhi, do you think I'm particularly stupid?"
Ji Wenxuan was speaking in a drunken stupor, but every word he uttered came from the bottom of his heart.
"How could this be considered foolish! This is clearly kindness and tolerance."
