"This kind of scene isn't something you see every year."
"Just stay here and watch quietly."
The young men initially thought Lin Ru's first two sentences were rather perfunctory, but after hearing her next sentence, they suddenly felt that her first two sentences were not so perfunctory after all.
After all, none of their family members are here.
They are just a side branch!
In the end, he can only be considered a pawn!
The people fighting in front of them are all key members of the family who are being groomed for success.
Normally, they act superior and condescending in front of them.
Looking at them is like looking at a pile of dog poop.
But now they can stand on the high platform, looking down at these people fighting amongst themselves.
It's heartbreaking to see someone who usually prides herself on being from a noble family turn into a shrewish, vulgar woman.
It has its own unique charm.
Meanwhile, Madam Ge had actually overheard what Lin Ru said, but she had no interest in paying attention to Lin Ru at all!
Because she was currently in the arms of an old man, it wasn't that he didn't want to break free of her embrace, but rather that she had styled her hair into a very elaborate bun and adorned it with several hairpins in order to outshine everyone else.
As a result, their hair and the hair ornaments on their heads became intertwined.
I just can't open it!
The people around them are busy fighting and haven't noticed what's happening on their side yet.
If all these people stopped and saw him in the arms of an old man, they would probably go wild. It would be incredibly indecent and improper.
Moreover, if this matter were to reach the ears of her king, he would likely feel uncomfortable about it.
The more anxious she became, the more difficult it was to untangle the knot on her head.
Moreover, the two of them were so close, and they were both lying on the ground rubbing against each other, that she could vaguely feel that the old man beneath her was actually aroused, which made her feel so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die.
Lin Ru was initially enjoying the show, but the fight went on for far too long.
She really didn't expect these people to be so ruthless; several people were beaten until their heads were bleeding.
This must be the pent-up hatred that has been building up for years, and now it has a sudden outlet.
These people have all dropped their masks!
So she pulled her mother inside, where they ate some tea and snacks, drank some water to replenish their energy, and then gestured to Wu Juan and the others to separate them.
Those young masters felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure as they looked at these people who were beaten bloody.
Now, seeing someone separate them, I feel inexplicably disappointed.
After all, you might only see this kind of scene once in your life.
Whether Wu Juan and the others did it intentionally or unintentionally is unknown.
Anyway, all the people who were fighting were separated, but Ge Shi and the old man were still rolling around on the ground.
They completely ignored it.
When the officials and noble ladies came to their senses, they were so surprised to see Ge Shi on the ground that their jaws almost dropped.
"When did this Queen start having an affair with Lord Ji?"
"Who knew? Those two are so shameless, actually taking advantage of the chaos to do this."
"Who can argue with that?"
"My God! This is absolutely indecent."
"I can't bear to look!"
Looking at the scene before them, these people immediately put their earlier hatred behind them and began whispering about the Ge family's affairs!
Lin Ru was surprised to learn that the old man's surname was Ji!
Could this be Ji Wenxuan's biological father?
But why is the biological father so old?
She thought he was some kind of veteran who had served three dynasties.
Actually, she originally wanted to bring Ji Wenxuan with her when she came to Kyoto!
Ji Wenxuan himself was unwilling to come. He has now been reassigned to Shanping County, where he wants to unleash his full potential and make a big splash.
He has completely let go of those things from the past.
The only regret is that I didn't get to avenge my mother myself.
And now...
Ge is not the type to suffer losses.
They also couldn't stand the gossip of others.
No matter how powerful Lord Ji is, he'll still have a lot of trouble in the future.
This can be seen as her indirectly avenging Ji Wenxuan!
Hearing the gossip around her, Madam Ge was so angry that she could no longer maintain her ladylike image.
"What are you all doing standing there?"
"Come quickly and help me!"
"They've all gone blind."
"All you do is gossip and spread rumors. Didn't you see that the hairpin in my hair got caught in Lord Ji's hair?"
Upon hearing this, the people immediately came to their senses and quickly stepped forward to help the two up, but the things stuck to their hair were too tightly bound together.
Even after they were helped up, they remained very close together.
From Lin Ru's perspective, the two were practically inseparable.
She clapped her hands with a smile.
"Okay, okay!"
"Kyoto is indeed very open."
"In public, men and women were pulling and tugging at each other, creating a chaotic scene."
"Is nobody going to do anything about it?"
"As expected, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too!"
"However, these so-called officials and noblewomen below are causing trouble!"
"Madam of the Marquis! Look at the kind of example you've set!"
"Oh, by the way! Doesn't this Lord Ji have a son named Ji Wenzhuo?"
"Oh, your son died a terrible death, do you know that?"
"But your other son is doing quite well these days."
"It's a pity that your son doesn't seem to want to acknowledge you as his father."
"I heard that you were able to climb to your current position because of Ji Wenxuan's biological mother!?"
"How can you be so ungrateful? You've become so successful, yet you abandon your own son in a small county town, leaving him to fend for himself, and even your wife there!"
She thought for a moment and took out a jade pendant from her spatial storage.
He walked over and placed the jade pendant in front of Lord Ji, then shook it.
"Do you recognize this jade pendant? Your wife gave it to me!"
"While you were enjoying the company of women in Kyoto, your wife was leading the resistance against Prince Shun's soldiers in Huiwu County, and she died defending the city!"
"I wonder if you've ever dreamed about her while you were sleeping?"
Looking at the familiar jade pendant and listening to Lin Ru's words, Ji Kangyuan was so angry that he ignored Ge Shi's shrill cries and tried to snatch the jade pendant back.
After all, this jade pendant can access a portion of his wife's assets!
There are still some people!
With this, his life wouldn't be as impoverished as it is now.
Lin Ru smiled and took two steps back. "This was a gift from your wife."
"It's to repay my life-saving grace."
