"It's extremely ridiculous, and it's not my scandal. Is it possible that I have to cover it up for him?"
"Why are you being so modest for him? Ji Shimin, Wei Xiheng is engaged, are you thinking about him? If you had told me earlier, you would have asked Madam Yan to give her up to you."
His words made everyone pause and all looked at Yan Mi.
Yan Mi stood among the crowd, looking very thin.
She was holding in her hand the handkerchief dipped in pepper water that Ying Wu had given her not long ago. She was watching Wei Xiheng being carried away, wanting to follow but not daring to follow. She happened to wipe it everywhere. Soon her eyes turned red.
She looked most pitiful.
Who has seen the heart of the unmoving silhouette?
The wind blew the girl's hair lightly, as if it would blow her down in the next moment.
Princess Gong was very curious about her. She didn't dare to think about it in the future, but now she couldn't help but think: "If this is the case, that's fine."
She said warmly: "My son has not married yet. Although he is not in tune, he is also a bastard. But today, a hero has come to save the beauty. Madam Yan, if you cancel the engagement, you might as well consider my palace, Prince Gong."
Everyone:...You mother and son are robbing people, right?
Ji Huo:???
Is there such a good thing?
When Ji Shimin saw the mess, she immediately said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"What nonsense did I say?"
He was too lazy to talk nonsense with Ji Shimin and walked quickly towards Li San.
"Are you Wei Xiheng's sweetheart?"
Li San knelt on the ground and did not respond to Ji Huo's question. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the palace maid he had just met. With the few words he had just said, he thought about the matter thoroughly.
It turned out that the person who hired him was a princess!
The princess couldn't help but love that ugly guy!
The ugly guy is engaged to a girl from another family.
The princess' heartbroken heart is a barrier to love, so she wants to destroy him if she doesn't get it!
Li San realized it!
He slumped on the ground, still maintaining his previous posture. The spring was beautiful, but he was dripping with water and was extremely cold. His lips were a little white from the cold, but when he raised his eyes, he looked at Yan Mi with resentment.
That! That’s jealousy!
"How could he agree to this marriage if he wasn't forced by his family? What's so good about you? How can you compare to me?"
"Do you know how many years I have been in love with him?"
"But he wants to break up with me!"
Yan Mi was silent.
The whole place was silent.
Ji Huo strode forward and put a piece of clothing on him very considerately: "Then he is really a bastard!"
"How could I abandon you when I love the new and hate the old?"
Ji Huo was very curious: "Which one of you is going up and who is going down?"
Li San felt that nausea coming up again.
But he swallowed it forcefully. He came to ruin someone's reputation and immediately said: "Of course I love him."
The lady from the aristocratic family listened to the filth, but no one left. Her face was full of disgust, and her ears were all pricked up.
Most of the unmarried girls blushed with embarrassment, and Ji Shimin took the opportunity to leave in a hurry.
Xie Xun covered Xie Yining's ears in time to prevent her from hearing any dirty words, and walked over again.
"Huo Shizi, why don't I ask?"
————
When Zou Wei arrived, Grandma Zou hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Dad."
She explained the situation in detail.
Zou Wei would not blame him for this, he would just blame Wei Xiheng for not knowing how to behave! He went to his house for a secret meeting! If it was a girl, forget it, but it was a boy, which would make him a laughing stock!
"As long as the man is fine, go to Duke Wei's mansion and ask someone to come and take him away."
And here, Ji Zhen has been waiting for a long time.
When Ji Shimin came back, he put down the tea cup in his hand: "Why did you call me here?"
He was originally in Zou Wei's study. When he learned that the servant in the house had hurriedly reported the drowning incident, he planned to go there with Zou Wei. However, he did not want to be stopped by Ji Shimin's maid on the way.
When Ji Shimin saw Ji Zhong, she finally felt more at ease. She said hurriedly.
"The one who fell into the water was Wei Xiheng."
She stepped forward quickly, not daring to hide much: "Brother Imperial, it has nothing to do with me at this time. I clearly want to hurt Shen Hua, but I don't know why she became Wei Xiheng."
"I've warned those people about this, and they won't say anything. But..."
Seeing Ji Zhen's face getting darker and darker, Ji Shimin's voice became softer and softer.
Ji Zhen scolded: "Nonsense!"
"The wedding banquet at my uncle's house was messed up by you. He loves you so much, how can you cause trouble!"
"Ms. Shen is from Yanglinghou Mansion, why do you have to fight with her?"
He loves Ji Shimin well, but he also knows the importance of it. The Wei family was the first to surrender to him. Over the years, they have done a lot of things for him.
"In the early years, you did something wrong, and the Zou family was responsible for it, but you still think that the Zou family is the Zou family from earlier years?"
Ji Shimin lowered her head in front of him, naturally not daring to speak harshly.
Ji Zhen didn't get angry when he saw her like this: "Is Wei Xiheng okay?"
Ji Shimin looked at his face: "He was saved."
Ji Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as everything is fine."
He vaguely felt that something was wrong. Why did Wei Xiheng run to the pond to appreciate it? How could it be such a coincidence?
Before he could think about it, Ji Shimin said again.
"But he was... ruined by the person I found."
Ji Zhen:???
Waste?
His vision went dark.
"I didn't know he fell into the water, so I called for someone. All the ladies from the aristocratic families saw it, I'm afraid-"
"When Ji Huo catches him and asks questions, Li San will naturally talk nonsense."
"But if Wei Xiheng wakes up and wants to investigate this matter thoroughly, I'm afraid... Brother Huang, you must protect me."
Ji Zhen no longer wanted to hear another word. His eyes looking at Ji Shimin gradually lost their warmth.
He did not dare to delay and strode forward.
Little did he know that as soon as he left, Ji Shimin and his servant were knocked unconscious.
Ying Wu picked up Ji Shimin and went to find Shen Hua.
By the time Ji Zhen arrived, it was already Xie Xun's home court. He was not Ji Huo, so his questions were well-founded, and even Zou Wei was not easy to interrupt.
Zou Wei had no intention of interrupting. The Wei family was embarrassed.
Xie Xun: "Are you a slave of the Zou Mansion?"
Li San couldn't respond, Mrs. Zou said hurriedly.
"Of course it's not. The servants of the Zou family have all signed the deed of betrayal, and the government has also stamped it. This cannot be fake."
Xie Xun looked at Li San.
"no."
"Then how did you sneak into the Zou Mansion?"
"We mixed in with the vegetable vendors delivering food and came in together."
Li San swore an oath and was extremely cooperative in Xie Xun's eyes: "There is nothing wrong with the young man's entry. It's just that I miss him a lot knowing that he is there."
Ji Zhen came over: "Xie Xun."
Xie Xun was as gentle as jade and greeted him respectfully.
"This matter is quite suspicious."
Xie Xun responded: "So, since the incident happened, I have never seen the attendants around Prince Wei. I have sent people to look for them, but they are not there. I don't know how Prince Wei got here and ended up falling into the water?"
After speaking, he looked at Yan Mi.
"Ms. Yan has been accompanying Mr. Wei. What do you think?"
Yan Mi's voice was very soft: "Master Wei was so drunk that he personally ordered the attendants to push him away from the table. I don't know what happened next to him."
Li San: "I know."
He worked very hard: "He must have seen me. He also wants to see me!"
They are going in both directions!
