Ji Le, who has been waiting anxiously, has not received any news about Li Ran since he left. Naturally, he is extremely anxious and anxious all day long.
In the past few days, she had been running back and forth between her home and the other courtyard, and she was so restless that even Ji Xian felt distressed when she saw her, so she sent a fast horse to Weiguo to find out the news.
Finally, Kuai Ma was able to return early and brought the news back to the Ji Mansion that Ji Zeng had arrived safely in Weiguo and would be returning to Zheng Yi in the near future.
Ji Le couldn't help but feel surprised when he heard that Ji Zu said that the delivery had been completed in Weiguo and that nothing had happened.
Could it be said that this time, the judgment of myself and Li Ran was really wrong?
Did Brother Meng really not do anything?
"Hey...you should believe it this time, right?"
Ji Xian looked at her with helplessness on his face.
Unexpectedly, Ji Le just pouted:
"Huh! I don't believe dad. I want to wait until Ziming comes back and tell me personally!"
After saying that, he waved his little hand and turned around and walked out the door.
The old father looked at her back first and was speechless. He thought to himself: It’s really a bad thing for a woman to stay in college. Her elbows are always turned outward!
The next day, when Ji Le came to the other courtyard again, he was surprised to find that Li Ran had returned.
"Zi Mingjun!"
"Sacrifice the girl..."
Knowing that Ji Le had expressed his feelings to Ji Xian, Li Ran felt a little uncomfortable. After all, there was a big difference between his girlfriend and his fiancée. It was his first time talking about marriage with a girl, and he was not prepared. Moreover, he cannot ask others for advice on this kind of matter, so he has to digest it alone.
"Humph! I've been here for so long and I haven't given Leer a confirmation yet. Have you forgotten Leer?"
Ji Le's little mouth pouted, and her pretty face suddenly fell down, and she was about to shed tears.
Li Ran hurriedly stepped forward and explained:
"No, no! How dare Li Ran forget to sacrifice the girl...it's just..."
For this kind of thing, he really has no empirical theory to draw on.
As far as he knows, girls should be the strangest creatures in the world, because no one can accurately judge when they are happy and unhappy, and why they are happy and unhappy.
Their psychological activities are high and low, high and low, bright and dark, happy and sad. Their complexity is daunting.
So even if he is as smart as he is, he still doesn't know how to explain it to Ji Le at this moment.
"Leer."
Fortunately, Ji Zeng and Ji Xun, who came back with him, rescued him in time.
They had just arrived in Zhengyi today, but he did not let Ji Zong and Ji Xun go back to resume their duties immediately. Instead, he took them to another courtyard first.
"Huh? Brother Zhong and brother uncle? Why are you here too?"
Seeing the two brothers here, Ji Le's expression suddenly returned to normal.
When the two heard the sound, they immediately looked at Li Ran.
"I asked them to stay here temporarily."
"By the way, Miss Ji, I need to ask you to go back and invite the old master Ji."
There was seriousness in Li Ran's eyes.
Although Ji Le was a little confused, he still nodded.
After she left, Ji Zeng asked:
"Sir, is it okay to take this seriously?"
The reason why Li Ran did not let them return to the sacrifice family immediately was to keep Shu Niu temporarily ignorant of the truth about Weiguo, so that he would have enough time to deal with the follow-up matters.
But when they returned to Zhengyi last night, Jiyi and Jiwen were not sure that they could hide it from Shuniu. After all, there were Jishi's spies everywhere in the city. Now that Shuniu controls most of Jishi's industry and business, these spies naturally also
Most of them fell towards him.
"Shu Niu has framed you for injustice this time, and his purpose may not be as simple as you think. The Ji family is talkative, and it is easy for rumors to leak. Although this place is also your Ji family's property, after these few days, the nearby Ji family members have also become informants.
I've taken care of it, so you can rest assured."
It turned out that Li Ran's purpose in letting Sun Wu return to Zhengyi first was to let him replace a large number of servants in the other courtyard, and also arranged for owl wings to secretly inspect several nearby corners that were easy to hide, and marked these points as
Remove them one by one.
In addition, he also needs to know what Shu Niu and Qi are doing secretly. So Sun Wu is not here at the moment, so he is still investigating secretly.
……
Not long after, Ji Le left and came back with her father. It seemed that although Ji Ji said something powerful at first, she still preferred Ji Le in her heart.
As soon as he heard the funeral music and asked him to go see Li Ran, he only insisted for a while and then agreed.
"Ziming, I heard that you want to see me?"
Ji Xian's attitude towards his future son-in-law is not very friendly at the moment. On the one hand, Ji Le told him that it was Li Ran who discovered that there was a problem with Ji's grain truck, and he suspected that Shu Niu was secretly framing Ji Zang and Ji Wen.
Li Ran was suspected of instigating internal strife within the Ji family.
On the other hand, Ji Le was crying and making a fuss about marrying Li Ran, so the debt would naturally be borne by Li Ran first.
Unexpectedly, Li Ran just shook his head when he heard the sound, and then turned to look at Ji Zeng and Ji Xun.
The next moment, Ji Zeng and Ji Xun stepped forward to greet them and burst into tears.
Yes, the two legitimate sons of the family actually burst into tears in front of outsiders.
Their cries were full of grievances and grief, and the fear of escaping from death still spread in their cries, as if they had just escaped from the gate of hell.
"Dad! I thought I would never see you again!"
"Yes, Dad! The child thought he was going to die in Weiguo... wuwu..."
If the two people's tearful acting were to be judged for awards, they would definitely win the Best Supporting Actor award. Even if they were sacrificed first, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as good.
Li Ran looked behind them, with an expression of relief on his face.
If Shu Niu framed Ji Zeng and Ji Xian, if he had just told Ji Xian directly, even if Ji Xian believed it, he probably wouldn't have done anything to Shu Niu.
After all, Shu Niu is now the mainstay of the Sacrifice family. He controls many business lifelines of the Sacrifice family in one hand, and it cannot be touched easily.
The only way to make the sacrifices fear the ox is this. Only in this way can the matter become more serious.
In fact, this matter itself is already very serious. Li Ranjiao and Ji Xun's performance like this is just adding fuel to the fire.
You must know that these two people are the legitimate sons of Ji Xian, and Shu Niu is just a concubine in the final analysis.
If a bastard almost killed two legitimate sons and almost caused a dispute between the two countries, then this matter couldn't be bigger.
In this era of strict hierarchies, what Shu Niu did was a taboo.
Although the drama of killing an elder brother and usurping the throne is common in this era, after all, people still subconsciously despise this kind of behavior.
Sure enough, when Ji Xian heard the two people crying, his expression suddenly changed and he asked hurriedly:
"What's going on!"
It is certainly impossible to say that he had no defense against Shu Niu, otherwise he would not have temporarily handed over the matter of transporting grain to defend the country to Ji Zong and Ji Xun.
On the surface, he said it was for the two of them to practice, but both he and Shu Niu knew very well that this was him beating Shu Niu.
Therefore, when he saw his two legitimate sons bursting into tears, he already had a bad feeling in his heart.
Then, when he listened to what Ji Zong and Ji Xun said, his old face, which had already become gloomy, suddenly became covered with black clouds, and even his beard began to tremble slightly. A pair of eagle eyes stared at the two of them closely, silently.
