Wen Ranran really didn't expect what he said. She originally thought that Ji Yuanxu would know nothing. After all, Ji Zirou's identity was actually a painter sent by the Ji family in Lingnan, nominally painting with Ji Yuanxu.
But in fact, Ji Yuanxu himself did not know her origin.
But now... Co-author Ji Yuanxu knows everything? But he still lets Ji Zirou take advantage of him?
Wen Ranran didn't know what to say about this situation.
"You know everything, and you also know that her existence was to take advantage of you from the beginning, right?"
Wen Ranran looked at Ji Yuanxu, confirming her suspicion.
Ji Yuanxu did not speak, but nodded bitterly.
On one side, the hot tea that had been brewing on the stone table was now scalding hot, making a sizzling sound. The apricot tree in the yard had slightly opened its buds, and one or two were already blooming quietly.
Ji Yuanxu looked pale, looked at Wen Ranran, and finally added a cup of tea for him.
"She and I... have known each other since she was a child, but we only met once. She kept calling me master, and I taught her how to paint... She is not very talented, but she works very hard!"
Ji Yuanxu took a sip of the hot tea in his cup, looked at the scroll in front of him, and thought to himself.
"Later... I even planned to tell her when she was a hairpin that I liked her... and wanted to be her husband for life! But at that time, for some reason, she chose to enter the palace! Starting from the palace maid,
Step by step, I became a female official. For so many years, I only exchanged letters with her."
"Everything was fine at first. She would send me rare paints, and she would ask me how I was doing in her letters. Finally... she would send back paintings one after another for me to copy...
I know she is taking advantage of me, but... I have no complaints, after all, she herself is also restricted by others."
Wen Ranran held the tea cup and felt the slight heat on her fingertips. She couldn't help but sigh as she listened to Ji Yuanxu cut open his own heart and explained these things.
"She was a workhorse of the Ji family in Lingnan from the beginning, but she was fostered by the Ji family in Youzhou since she was a child. She happened to meet you again..."
Wen Ranran understood that Xia Lihong put Ji Zirou in Youzhou at first just to spy on Ji Tong, but Ji Tong had a very stubborn temper, so the Ji family in Lingnan and the Ji family in Youzhou were not related to each other.
How to get close.
After Ji Yuanxu became famous, he successfully let Ji Zirou enter the palace, and found some ancient methods of the Xuanshe tribe to harm people's luck, and then he painted those murderous paintings one after another.
However, what shocked Wen Ranran was definitely not just this.
If Ji Yuanxu didn't know that Ji Zirou was using him from beginning to end, then maybe he would feel better in his heart. After all, this disciple he had known since childhood was just a so-called scam aimed at Ji Yuanxu.
But what she didn't expect was that Ji Yuanxu actually knew from beginning to end...
He knew that Ji Zirou was using him openly, and he was willing to draw murderous pictures one after another for her.
Such behavior made Wen Ranran not know what to say for a moment.
"Is it worth it?"
Wen Ranran sighed and looked at the other person, with a look of regret in his eyes.
Ji Yuanxu's body trembled, and he seemed to be in a trance, and then quickly returned to normal, "There is nothing worth it or not... I like her, so much that I would rather go to hell with her than be happy!"
"At that time, before the Battle of Northern Xinjiang, I received her last letter, saying that as long as the battle was over, she could completely leave the organization. At that time... we all made an appointment. When things were settled,
Then we returned to Youzhou, disappeared from then on, and became a pair of desperate mandarin ducks. No one can find us... There is always a place in the world that can accommodate us..."
