Chapter 310 Envious of her good fortune, without mentioning her at all.
Inside the same room, Ji Qingwu's feet also trembled.
Ji Qingwu rested his elbow on the table, propping his chin up, and thought that this girl had a really irritable personality.
Wei Tongyou said fiercely, "You need to remember your place. Don't go again if something like this happens next time."
Ji Qingwu asked, "What is my identity?"
Wei Tongyou turned her face away and said, "Don't expect me to acknowledge you. I was just saying that."
Even though Ji Wu looked slightly more pleasing to the eye, she was still not qualified to be a match for her elder brother.
Ji Qingwu touched her fingertips together as if clapping, and said joyfully, "That's wonderful."
It's rare to find someone who disagrees with her marriage to Wei Ting; this is the kind of force that needs to be united.
Wei Tongyou stammered, speechless, "You, how could you do this..."
Ji Qingwu said unhurriedly, "I think there is someone else who can become your recognized sister-in-law, and it would never be me."
She and Wei Ting were just waiting for the right opportunity to make things clear.
The wedding ceremony was never held, and the bride was never even served tea. The crucial point is that Wei Ting was called away on his wedding night, and they never even consummated their marriage.
Wei Tongyou asked in a panic, "What do you mean? You don't want to be my sister-in-law?"
Her hands clenched into fists: "My elder brother withstood enormous pressure from his family and relatives just to marry you."
In the eyes of the elders of the Wei family, this was unfilial and disobedient, but in the hearts of the younger generation of the Wei family, especially the girls who were just beginning to fall in love, they were more or less envious of Wei Ting's behavior of overcoming all difficulties to marry Ji Qingwu.
Who wouldn't want a handsome and dashing man to fall in love with them, disregarding family opposition and determined to marry them?
Many people openly or secretly envy Ji Qingwu's good fortune, and Wei Tongyou is one of them.
Wei Tongyou said, "You can't be so down. It's not that I really dislike you, but I've found that you're not the same as the rumors suggest."
In the afternoon, when Wei Tongyou saw Ji Qingwu pick up the bloody deer placenta, her opinion of her changed considerably; she was just a pretty, charming and alluring woman.
Appearance is innate, so Ji Qingwu can't be blamed.
Wei Tongyou continued, "In a few days, Grandmother and the Wei family will also let go of their prejudices."
She earnestly advised, "You should try to gain everyone's approval. When your eldest brother comes home victorious, our family will be reunited. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Ji Qingwu looked up at her, his eyes filled with tenderness, and Wei Tongyou looked at her expectantly as well.
Ji Qingwu said, "Xuemei, see the guest out!"
Wei Tongyou was angrily ushered out of the house.
The door was closed again. Ji Qingwu untied the gauze curtain in the inner room, walked to the bed and sat down, taking out the things that had been thrown out of the carriage from his sleeve.
She opened her palm and saw a crescent-shaped bronze object. Judging from its luster, it must have been a cherished possession of its owner, something she often carried around and played with.
Ji Qingwu held it up in the light and discovered that the inside had uneven, jagged edges. She carefully touched these uneven areas with her hand.
If she's not mistaken, this thing is a key.
The national fortune boost randomly released by the system is this key!
The carriage with the purple and gold curtains belongs to the Su family, meaning the national fortune boost is related to Su Fengyue... What can this key unlock...?
Ji Qingwu suddenly stood up, turned around, and sat down again, forcing himself to calm down.
The Su family has too many secrets.
But what she was certain of was that the big fish Emperor Wusu had mentioned to her at the Lotus Pavilion was Su Fengyue.
Ji Qingwu put the key back into his sleeve pocket.
She shouldn't alert the enemy; the correct course of action would be to send the item into the palace.
A ticking sound came from outside.
Ji Qingwu turned his head and saw that the slanting rain had already wet the window.
The rain suddenly intensified, and the once bright sky turned completely black.
Having received news from the palace, Lu Juan quietly entered the palace as night fell.
When he entered Zhaoyang Palace, he was soaked through by the heavy rain. His dark blue casual clothes clung to his body, and his hair was still dripping wet.
Emperor Wusu was closing his eyes to regulate his breathing when Li Yuzong ordered a palace maid to bring a handkerchief to wipe the rain off Lu Juan's face.
Lu Juan glared at Li Yuzong.
Li Yuzong had never seen the Crown Prince Lu so disheveled and dejected, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips even with great effort.
He ordered the palace servants beside him to hand him the teacup on the tray, saying, "Lord Lu, this is ginger tea. Please have a bowl."
Lu Juan said, "Eunuch Li knew to prepare ginger soup in advance, but didn't he know to bring me an umbrella?"
Li Yuzong said, "Your Excellency has wronged this old servant. Last time you came to see me in the rain, wearing a raincoat and holding an oil-paper umbrella, and apart from your shoes, not a single raindrop got on you."
Li Yuzong raised the whisk in his hand and said regretfully, "This old servant did not expect that Lord Lu would leave home without bringing anything with him this time."
When this was mentioned, Lu Juan clenched his teeth tightly, and his face turned as gloomy as the sky outside.
If Duan Mingfeng hadn't insisted on pushing him out to deal with Prime Minister Su in the Secretariat, he wouldn't have been unable to return home for several days in a row.
Su Fengyue was a night owl; despite his advanced age, he was full of energy. Lu Juan, like a hawk at night, stayed with him for several nights.
When Lu Juan finally managed to find some time to return to the Marquis of Zhongyong's residence, it was always late at night. Afraid of waking Ji Qingrong, he would rest in the study.
Previously, Ji Qingrong had always taken care of everything for him.
Lu Juan thought of his wife, sighed, and looked at the emperor who was still sitting quietly, wondering when the emperor planned to "wake up".
But Lu Juan also knew that after planning for so long, now was the time to remain calm.
The emperor had put himself in a life-or-death situation, so he was determined to survive, and he was willing to fight Xi Jin to the death.
The rain outside showed no signs of letting up.
In a flash of lightning as sharp as a blade, Emperor Wusu slowly opened his eyes.
"I heard you're so busy you don't even have time to go back to the Marquis's residence, but you do manage to find time to visit the Song family during the day."
Amidst the rolling thunder, Lu Juan was suddenly struck by a stroke of inspiration.
So Li Yuzong deliberately ordered his servants not to bring him an umbrella, and he only just realized why he got soaked in the rain.
Lu Juan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it is my duty to keep a close watch on Prime Minister Su's whereabouts. I heard that Prime Minister Su had appeared at the Song family's residence, so I went there with him."
Ji Qingwu was not mentioned at all.
Li Yuzong's lips curled down as he watched the spectacle unfold. This Lord Lu was too shrewd; he sensed something was amiss in just a few words. He himself had spent a long time guessing before he could figure out the Emperor's intentions.
Zhao Mingyan asked in a calm voice, "But I heard that you didn't show up at the Song family, but instead hid by the door and watched."
Lu Juan's soaked official boots twitched slightly. The Emperor even knew this; it was unclear whether he had sent someone to keep an eye on Su Fengyue or Ji Qingwu.
“Your Majesty, as far as I know, it was just a minor dispute between the Wei family and the Song family, which has already been resolved,” Lu Juan replied.
"The Wei family?"
The emperor rose from his throne, and a dazzling flash of lightning illuminated the hall.
