Chapter 26 Dad, can you be more shameless?

Ji Mingde looked surprised, as if he hadn't expected Ji Zhuyu to say such a thing, he held back his anger and said, "Where did you know about this?"

Although the words were addressed to Ji Zhuyu, her eyes fell sharply on Xuetong's body, her eyes were icy cold, just one glance made Xuetong's legs go weak, and she couldn't help but kneel down again.

Ji Mingde was so angry that he slapped the table with his palm, and shouted angrily: "Xuetong, you are so brave, you dare to disobey my order and tell the eldest lady about this. Come on, drag Xuetong down for me, mess it up!" be beaten to death."

"No, father, listen to me, Xuetong didn't tell me." Ji Zhuyu hurriedly stopped Ji Mingde and said, "It was when I went out to play with Xuetong today, and I heard it from others. Now I and the Huo family The young master's marriage has been widely rumored, so it's hard to know. The daughter's outrageous words just now were not intended to threaten Dad, but just hoped that Dad would look me in the eye and listen to my excuse."

Ji Mingde glanced at Ji Zhuyu with an unclear expression, and motioned for her to continue talking.

Ji Zhuyu was overjoyed, but her face remained calm, and she said softly: "Father gave birth to me and raised me for more than ten years, this kindness can't be repaid by my daughter, and my daughter also believes that everything my father does is for my own good, so no matter outside People say that father sells daughter for glory or something, but the daughter doesn't believe it at all, and swears that whose parents would harm their own daughter?"

Ji Mingde was a little uncomfortable by Ji Zhuyu's sincere words of gratitude, he took a sip of tea from his teacup to hide the embarrassment on his face.

Ji Zhuyu pretended not to see his embarrassment, and then said: "My daughter's marriage has always been decided by my parents. Since my father wants me to marry the young master of the Huo family, I naturally want to marry. It's just that my mother left early, and my daughter is already married. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to talk to anyone personally, but now I’ve finally met Xuetong, and I’m very close to her, and I can say a lot of heart-to-heart words, so that I won’t be lonely when I go to the Huo Mansion. This time, What we did was wrong, father, you should be angry. As for Xuetong, it is enough to punish her with a few boards, so don't drive her out of the mansion. If there is no her, her daughter will marry into Huo's mansion in the future It must have been very lonely."

At the end, Ji Zhuyu had tears in her eyes, she took out her sleeves and kept wiping the corners of her eyes, she looked heartbroken, coupled with her weak figure, I really felt pity for her, making people feel sad for her sadness.

Ji Mingde's expression was a little loose, he waved his hand, signaled the boy to let Xuetong go, and said to Ji Zhuyu in a soft voice: "Okay, daddy knows you are filial, don't worry, daddy won't harm you. General Huo He is the hero of the founding of the country, the emperor's brother-in-law, and his original spouse died early. You don't have to deal with the mortal mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship when you marry. This is a good job that no one can ask for. As for the rumors What is violent and murderous? Those are all rumors made up by outsiders who are jealous of Mr. Huo's talent. Father has been an official in the court for many years, and he has met Mr. Huo. It is by no means what the outside rumors say. With a hundred hearts, you can get married with peace of mind."

Ji Mingde coaxed and lied, and used all his nonsense skills in officialdom on Ji Zhuyu.The purpose is to comfort Ji Zhuyu's heart, so that she will not believe the rumors from the outside world, think that this is a bad marriage, and thus refuse the marriage.

If Ji Zhuyu in the past might have believed his nonsense and married him willingly, but now Ji Zhuyu has changed into a mature and wise soul, it is impossible for her to believe Ji Mingde's words.

But Ji Zhuyu won't show her emotions on her face, she lowered her eyebrows and said pleasantly: "My daughter understands father's painstaking efforts, but will Xuetong stay?"

Ji Zhuyu's obedience made Ji Mingde very satisfied. Right now, the most important thing for him is to stabilize Ji Zhuyu's heart and let her marry into Huo's family obediently. As for other things, it is nothing to worry about, so he ordered: "Let Xue Tong go, that's all for today, if I commit another crime in the future, I will never forgive you lightly."

Ji Zhuyu said happily: "Thank you, Dad."

Bai looked at Ji Zhuyu who suddenly turned the tide in a little astonishment. She had clearly caught her and encouraged the master to punish her severely. Why did she turn the tables in the end?

Bai's eyes were a little cold, but when he turned to Ji Mingde, his expression softened, and he said softly: "My lord, from the perspective of my concubine, the matter of the elder girl leaving the house this time is very big or small, but she must not be taken lightly without punishment. Let it go. After all, the Ji family has a great career, and the family style that should be there is absolutely indispensable, otherwise how will we educate the other daughters of the Ji family in the future."

Bai's words are decent and prudent, both in and out are for the sake of the Ji family's family style, so that people can't hear her selfishness, but to Ji Zhuyu's ears, it is aimed at her every sentence, implying that Ji Mingde must punish her. .

Ji Mingde stroked his beard, looking like he was thinking, obviously listening to Bai's words.

Ji Zhuyu knelt on the ground anxiously, staring at Ji Mingde without blinking, worried that he would suddenly change his mind and insist on chasing Xuetong out of the house.At that time, even if she broke face with them, she would definitely keep Xuetong.

After a while, Ji Mingde finally spoke, "Ma'am, what you said is very reasonable. You two must be punished. Xuetong persuaded the Lord to be unfavorable, so he punished Wu Daban and three months' salary. As for Zhuyu, you will be fined before you get married." Do not leave the house again."

Ji Zhuyu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Xuetong was saved. Although Wu Daban was uncomfortable, it was not fatal after all, and it would be better if it was taken care of properly.As for being grounded, she is not worried. If she wants to go out, she can always find a way to get out. This grounding order is not a problem for her at all.

Bai still had a lot of dissatisfaction with this result, so she finally opened her mouth and didn't say anything, but stared at Ji Zhuyu fiercely with her resentful eyes.

Ji Mingde finally ordered: "Okay, it's getting late, you guys go down."

"Yes, my daughter is leaving."

In the dark night, there is only a little bit of starlight, but the Huanxi courtyard is in chaos.

When Xuetong was carried back covered in blood, Mother Zhao, Yingyue, and Hongyu were terrified, and no matter how Ji Zhuyu instructed them, they just stood there in a daze and did not move.

In the end, it was Zhao's mother who had experienced many storms, and was the first to come to her senses, and directed the two little girls, Yingyue and Hongyu, to help Xuetong back to the room, and then found a very curative golden sore medicine to rub on Xuetong.

After several hours of busy work, Xuetong's wound was finally bandaged, and the rest was to rest well.

Ji Zhuyu sat by the bed, looking at Xuetong who was already sound asleep, her heart was filled with unstoppable guilt.

This time, it was she who didn't arrange things well, which caused Xuetong to suffer such a serious injury.

But after this incident, she saw clearly Ji Mingde's ruthlessness. Since he doesn't want family affection, then don't blame her for being cruel. This time, she will not only retire the engagement, but also do so in a big way, which will ruin the Ji family's reputation. , unable to stand up and be a man.

"Mother Zhao, go and find out, who told us about our leaving the house?"

Mother Zhao was puzzled for a while, "Didn't Madam do this? The old slave went to inquire just now, and said that Mother Yang had been guarding the back door all afternoon, waiting for Miss."

Zhao's mother is really smart in doing things, she knows what to do without Ji Zhuyu's instructions.

Ji Zhuyu shook his head, "Since I returned to the mansion, I have no intersection with Mrs. Bai, and there is no conflict of interest with her. Why do you suddenly care about whether I am in the mansion? There must be something inside this, so I suspect it is not Bai The one who discovered that I was not in the mansion first must be someone else."

Zhao's mother felt that what Ji Zhuyu said was reasonable, and immediately went to inquire again.

No matter who told the secret this time, she has already offended her, and she will definitely pay it back ten times.
