Chapter 477 Who is it
Mrs. Hu said with a stern face, "Your uncle is settling accounts with your second brother for running away from home!"
Ji Mingxue looked at his sister with red eyes and a hint of grievance in his eyes.
Ji Changying looked at Ji Fengyi and said, "I see my brother got beaten too. Uncle, please calm down! I heard from people outside that my second brother was praised by His Majesty in the court today! If my second brother got beaten right after returning home, how embarrassed would he be if the news got out?"
Ji Mingxue looked at Ji Changying with tears in his eyes. What a caring sister!
"Oh, it's true! I was in the court today! I was just about to tell my eldest brother how the emperor praised Ming Xue! You don't know, the Jiang family's faces were almost twisted with anger, it's funny just thinking about it!"
When Ji Fengshou heard someone bring this up, he immediately pulled Ji Fengyi to sit down.
Ji Fengyi just went along with it, put the handle on the table and didn't mention the matter again.
I still feel sorry for my son, but I can't be soft-hearted when it comes to disciplining him.
Ji Fengyi silently took out a bottle of medicine and placed it on the table. Although he didn't say anything, everyone knew that he was learning it for Ji Ming.
Ji Changying picked up the bottle and shook it: "Did you see that? The pain is on your body, but it hurts your uncle's heart!"
Ji Fengyi's face froze when he heard Ji Changying's words, and he almost couldn't hold back his majestic expression.
"Come! I'll apply medicine on you!"
Ji Changying pulled Ji Mingxue to sit next to Xu Yong and his sister, and asked about some situations.
After knowing that they came to the capital this time to see Xu's mother for medical treatment, he asked about Xu's mother's condition.
Xu's mother probably has mental problems. She had two attacks a year before, but she was fine normally.
But ever since the last time the barbarians entered the interior, he has rarely been awake and has been living in a daze.
Xu Yong usually stays in the military camp and rarely goes home. Xu Qi is the only one who has to take care of the family's food and drink and keep an eye on Xu's mother so that she doesn't run around. The burden on her shoulders is quite heavy.
So after hearing Ji Mingxue's suggestion, Xu Yong thought about it for a moment and agreed to bring Xu's mother to Beijing for medical treatment.
"The doctors at the border said it was a panic attack and there was no cure. We didn't want to cure it, we just wanted to make the situation better."
Xu Qi said with some concern.
Ji Changying glanced at Xu's mother. Her condition was indeed much more serious. She was just standing there laughing and drooling. The brother and sister said that this was already the best time for her. Sometimes she would beat people for no reason and act crazy.
Ji Mingxue quickly stated, "You guys just stay here and relax. I'll ask the housekeeper to find out which doctor is best for this. Then we can take Auntie to see him."
Hearing this, Xu Qi looked at him gratefully and said, "Thank you!"
In the evening, everyone gathered together for a reunion dinner. Mrs. Hu waited until everyone returned to their rooms, then she took a bottle of medicine and wanted to go see Ji Mingxue out of concern.
As soon as I pushed open the door, I saw a wound running from Ji Mingxue's left shoulder to his waist.
Hu immediately covered her mouth, "How could it be?!"
When Ji Mingxue heard the voice, he turned around and saw that it was his own mother. He quickly put on his clothes and looked at Hu embarrassedly: "Mom, why are you here?"
Hu rushed over: "Let me see! When were you injured?!"
Ji Mingxue was vague: "I just accidentally encountered it on the battlefield before."
Hu's tears welled up in her eyes. "I knew it! I knew it wouldn't be this easy on the battlefield! You've risked your life to get to where you are today!"
Ji Mingxue wiped her tears helplessly, "A real man, this little injury is nothing! It's all healed now, right? If my dad sees this, he'll think I've pissed you off again, and then he'll beat me up. How unfair it would be!"
Hu was amused by his teasing and felt complicated: "Your father is also worried about you, that's why..."
"I know I was impulsive before."
Looking at her son who had grown up a lot, Mrs. Hu was a little dazed.
In the past, they always felt that the second brother was slick and unruly, so she and Ji Fengyi often criticized him.
But now, the second son is the one with the most correct ideas and the greatest courage among the three sons.
Mrs. Hu pulled Ji Mingxue to sit down and said, "Tell me the truth, are you attracted to that girl?"
Ji Mingxue avoided her gaze and asked, "What is mother saying? Why don't I understand?"
Mrs. Hu pinched him and said, "Don't try to fool me! You've never liked to meddle in other people's affairs since you were a child. This time, you coaxed and tricked the brother and sister into bringing their mother to the capital, and helped find a doctor and arrange their daily life. Don't you have any other thoughts?"
The older you get, the wiser you become. From the moment she entered the room, Mrs. Hu felt that this was completely unlike her son's style.
After a quick inquiry into Xu Qi's situation, I knew what was going on.
Ji Mingxue's face suddenly turned red: "I... I just saw that she had a hard time, and she has a good personality, so I couldn't help but want to help..."
Mrs. Hu snorted, "Okay, since you don't tell the truth, then I won't care."
As she stood up and was about to leave, Ji Mingxue quickly grabbed Hu, his face flushed and his neck thick like a young wife: "But my eldest brother hasn't been engaged yet, isn't it too early for me to do this?"
Mrs. Hu rolled her eyes and said, "You're going to get engaged if the girl agrees?"
No matter how she looked at it, it didn't seem like the relationship between the two of them had been broken.
Ji Mingxue was extremely confident about this: "It's only a matter of time! I'm such a talented and considerate man, I'm a rare kind of husband, there's no reason for her not to like me!"
"Okay, since you said that, then I'll wait. Your eldest brother will have to wait until he's done with the situation. You just need to take care of yourself first. As long as the girl agrees, has good character, and a clean family background, there's no problem. I'll handle the matter for you tomorrow!"
"Well... there's no need to be so anxious..."
Ji Mingxue muttered softly.
Ji Changying, who was about to enter the yard outside, suddenly realized something when she heard the conversation between the two.
It turns out her second brother is trying to please the girl! No wonder he is so attentive, tut tut tut.
——
The Yangxin Palace late at night.
Xie Siheng knelt on the ground, and Emperor Mingde looked at him with an unfathomable look.
"When your mother got into trouble, did you see the murderer?"
Xie Siheng was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "I saw it."
Emperor Mingde paused, he didn't expect that he actually knew it.
"Tell me, who is it?"
"Marquis Xuanping, Xie Yuanyang."
Xie Siheng knelt on the ground, and when he spoke of Marquis Xuanping, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Although he didn't know why Emperor Mingde suddenly called him over to ask this, he knew from the tone of his voice that Emperor Mingde must have found out something.
The more this happened, the more he couldn't hide it. No matter whether the other party believed it or not, he had to tell the truth.
"Why did he want to kill your mother?" Emperor Mingde sat up straight, put his hands on his knees and looked at Xie Siheng with sharp eyes.
