[Chapter 55: The Sickly Man Falls in Love with His Flirtatious Wife 5]
Maid: "Did the Fourth Princess ask you a question? Since you know you are a servant, you have no right to interrupt."
Ji Mian's father covered his face and said hesitantly, "It's my fault."
Wen Shinian was satisfied. She looked at Ji Jia, who was holding Feng Zhi and dared not say a word, and said, "Someone come here."
Alin, who had been waiting outside the door, ran in quickly.
Wen Shinian pointed at Ji Jia and said with a smile, "Hit me, the princess."
Alin nodded, rushed over and kicked Ji Jia down, and his fists as big as sandbags fell like heavy rain.
"After all, you are the mother of the beautiful girl this princess is going to marry. This princess is happy to spare you the death by slicing, but you dare to play tricks on me?"
"Hmph! The death penalty can be avoided, but the crime of living cannot be forgiven. Ah Lin, give this princess a good beating!"
Alin hit harder and harder.
Hearing Ji Jia's screams, Wen Shinian smiled happily.
Let them bully her little cutie.
Beat him to death!
Seeing that Ji Jia was beaten half to death, Wen Shinian called for a stop with a feeling of unsatisfaction.
She looked at Ji Jia's Zheng Jun who was hiding aside and said in a light tone: "Where is my little beauty's dowry? Go and move it to this princess."
Zheng Jun was immediately frightened and trembled when he saw Wen Shinian's smile that didn't reach his eyes.
He didn't dare to say that Ji Mian had no dowry, for fear that if he said it, he would look like his wife, looking like she was about to die.
So he asked people to bring the dowry prepared for the legitimate son.
Looking at the boxes of dowry, Wen Shinian nodded with satisfaction and directly instructed the servants of Ji Mansion to move all those things onto her carriage.
If there is not enough space, use Ji Mansion’s carriage to load it.
Coming empty-handed and leaving with a four-horse carriage, it can be said to be a great harvest.
Just as Wen Shinian left, Zhengjun was helped up by the male servant on his weak legs.
The first thing he did after helping him up was to give Ji Mian's father a hard slap.
"Look at the wonderful son you gave birth to!"
The father servant, who had not yet stood up, fell to the ground again, his cheeks swollen and blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.
However, since he could give birth to a beauty like Ji Mian, his father's appearance must not be much worse.
Even with her red and swollen cheeks, she doesn't look embarrassed, but rather has a pitiful and beautiful look.
"It's the servant's fault."
The beauty fell to the ground, covering her face with her hands, looking very sad.
Zhengjun felt jealous and gave a look to the male servant beside him.
The male servant immediately stepped forward, grabbed the father servant by the collar, and slapped him repeatedly.
The father was beaten so badly that he couldn't even ask for help.
The unidentified figure beside him stretched out his hand tremblingly and shouted weakly: "Stop, stop hitting me...Call, call a doctor..."
After calling for help, his hands went limp and he fell to the ground with a thud.
There was chaos in Ji's mansion, and the culprit who caused all this returned to the palace happily with his victory record and showed it to his little beauty.
Ji Mian had woken up from a nap. He looked different from the way he looked before Wen Shinian left. He looked soft and cute when he woke up again. His deer eyes looked clean and clear, and when he looked at people, it always made people feel soft-hearted.
Wen Shi's voice unconsciously became softer.
"Mianmian, are you awake? Are you feeling unwell? I'll ask the imperial physician to take a look at you."
Ji Mian met her gaze and couldn't help but shrink his neck shyly when he heard the affectionate nickname.
"Fourth, Fourth Princess, no, I'm not feeling unwell anywhere."
Seeing him in this state again, Wen Shinian forced himself to be serious, fearing that he would scare the timid rabbit.
She stepped forward and gently helped the man up, and Ji Mian subconsciously dodged.
After hiding, fearing that Wen Shinian would be angry, he plucked up the courage to hold Wen Shinian's hand tightly.
"Come, let me show you something good."
Ji Mian nodded obediently, and when Wen Shinian took him away, he kept his head down and didn't dare to raise it.
Wen Shinian looked at him, feeling so thin that he looked like he could be blown away by a gust of wind. He let go of him and went to find one of his own fox fur coats to cover him.
Ji Mian's shoulders sank, and he stared blankly at the fox fur that wrapped him tightly. The moment he felt the warmth, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"You're really too thin. My clothes are a bit too big for you. Wear them temporarily. I'll ask Xiu Nan to make you a new one later."
Wen Shinian frowned as he spoke, then raised his head and saw Ji Mian pursing her lips and silently shedding tears.
"Thank you, Fourth Princess."
No one had ever cared about him so much before.
Does someone like him really deserve such warmth?
Wen Shinian lifted his face and wiped away his tears gently and carefully.
"Why thank me? We're family from now on. If I keep thanking you, it'll only make us feel strangers."
Ji Mian's eyelashes trembled slightly, and when she met Wen Shinian's eyes, she blushed and was about to lower her head.
He didn't care about Wen Shinian's words.
Before seeing the dowry, he thought his family consisted of his wife and the maid.
"By the way, our wedding is scheduled for next month. Do you want your mother and father to come over?"
"Also, these are your dowry. When the time comes, I will have someone make a place for you to store them. These will not go into the palace treasury, but will belong to your personal private vault."
Ji Mian is really insecure. Having so much dowry should make him feel better, right?
Wen Shinian said this and looked up at Ji Mian.
Ji Mian stared blankly at the boxes of dowry in front of him, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Wen Shinian would not be anxious and gave him some time.
Suddenly a cold wind blew, Ji Mian came back to his senses and turned to look at Wen Shinian.
"Dowry? Mine?"
I was so shocked that I forgot my name.
Wen Shinian: "Yes, your mother gave it to you."
If I said I was shocked just now, now I am terrified when I hear these words.
"Mother, mother gave it to me?!"
Seeing how frightened he was, Wen Shinian touched his nose and told Ji Mian about the disturbance in Ji's house embarrassedly.
Ji Mian: “…”
He no longer knew how to react.
But when I knew that my mother and father were beaten, something seemed to loosen deep in my heart.
"You don't have to be afraid of them anymore. You are my legitimate king. Be brave in the future. If they offend you, they will be put to death."
"...Masa-kun?"
"Hmm? Didn't I tell you that I've already asked the Queen Mother for a Phoenix decree to grant me marriage?"
"No, I didn't say that."
This news hit Ji Mian on the head like a stick. He couldn't close his jaw, and tears rolled down like pearls falling from the string.
He came to his senses and wiped away his tears in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cry, it's just, it's just..."
Wen Shinian hugged the man who was crying uncontrollably, patted his back, and spoke for him.
"Yeah, I know, you're just too happy."
Ji Mian buried himself in Wen Shinian's arms, smelling her scent, and his originally pitiful expression quietly changed.
He raised the corners of his mouth quietly, without any sadness in his eyes.
Ji Mian clutched Wen Shinian's clothes tightly, rubbing against her arms tentatively with a look of attachment and dependence.
When he found that Wen Shinian did not stop him, he could not suppress the smile on his face.
He took a deep breath silently, and the hand that was originally holding Wen Shinian's clothes changed to hugging her.
After wrapping his arms around Wen Shinian's waist, he kept exerting force.
Good thing she did.
So, should we give her a little reward?
