Chapter 202 Picking up a sick vampire to go home (6)
Ji Taoyao not only cut her arm with a dagger, but also messed up her hair and smeared plaster on her face, creating a look of someone who had just been in trouble.
She took Ross back to Ji's house in a state of embarrassment. As soon as she entered the door, she was bumped into by Mrs. Ji who was about to go back to her room.
Mrs. Ji saw that Ji Taoyao was in such a mess that she screamed sharply: "Oh, are you fooling around somewhere again? Didn't you go back to school to practice magic?
Why did you get yourself into such a horrible state and bring back a man?
Ji Taoyao, you have just come of age this year and will be ready to get married soon. At this critical moment of choosing a husband for you, please don’t do what I do to uneducated young ladies, and come back to raise a male pet.
Our Ji family doesn’t have such a custom!”
Mrs. Ji's sharp voice, which she deliberately raised, attracted the head of the Ji family upstairs.
When he saw Ji Taoyao's appearance, and then saw Lose who was looking too much behind her, he frowned and asked in a low voice unhappily: "Taoyao, what's going on? Aren't you always the best at knowing what's right?
"
Mrs. Ji looked at the side with gloating, and added: "Maybe it's because I have grown up, and now I have become more and more unruly.
Not only did they not come down to eat dinner together, but they also dared to bring men into the house. If word spread, it would be an embarrassment to our family. It is really not reassuring at all."
The head of the Ji family did not speak. He looked at Ji Taoyao seriously, waiting for her explanation.
In the past, Ji Taoyao was often exaggerated and scolded by Mrs. Ji for various minor and minor things, but the original owner never explained.
The head of the Ji family also had several headaches because of the boring personality of the original owner. It was a headache at first, but then he gradually became a little unhappy.
I originally thought that Ji Taoyao would not explain this time.
Unexpectedly, Ji Taoyao's eye circles slowly turned red, and she even swallowed her voice before bowing and apologizing to the head of the Ji family and Mrs. Ji.
She burst into tears as soon as she spoke: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause trouble to the family.
On my way back from practicing magic at school, I saw that the time was too late and wanted to rush home early, so I took a shortcut through a small alley while passing through a civilian area.
Unexpectedly, I was ambushed by a man who knew black magic. He wanted to steal the silver coins from me.
His black magic ability is very strong, not inferior to mine. I fought with him for a while, but still couldn't defeat him.
In the end, if he hadn't acted bravely and stepped forward to save me at the critical moment, I might...I might not have been able to come back..."
Ji Taoyao said as she lifted up her black cloak, revealing her blood-soaked sleeves.
As soon as the head of the Ji family saw that Ji Taoyao was injured, he immediately stepped forward anxiously, held her arm and checked.
His face turned dark, angry and distressed: "How could this happen?! Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were injured? What are you trying to do here? Are you going to get through it on your own without us asking?!"
Ji Taoyao said innocently: "I just don't want you to worry about me, and I insisted on going out alone today, and it was also my own trouble that went around the alley..."
"You were attacked, how could this be your fault?" Head Ji frowned and interrupted her directly.
Ji Taoyao didn't speak. She glanced at Mrs. Ji standing opposite and lowered her head.
At this glance, it can be said that silence is better than sound at this time, and the head of the Ji family immediately understood what she meant.
He turned around and glared at Mrs. Ji angrily: "Can you ask clearly about the child's affairs in the future before blaming her?
I know you have issues with Taoyao, but she hasn't done anything wrong, right?
She is obviously not in the right state today. You didn’t ask anything and just yelled at her. How can you look like a lady from a big family? You even scared the child to the point where he didn’t dare to speak!"
Ji Taoyao tugged on the sleeves of Patriarch Ji and whispered: "Father, stop talking. Mother is also worried about me. Please stop quarreling over me..."
With such a weak word, all the vague estrangement between father and daughter over the years disappeared.
The head of the Ji family touched Ji Taoyao's hair lovingly and said, "My good boy has been wronged. Go back to your room and have a good rest. I will ask the doctor to come to your room later to help you check and bandage."
"Thank you, father!" Ji Taoyao seemed to be very touched and delighted, and raised her skirt to salute the head of the Ji family.
The head of the Ji family stopped him: "This is what you should do. You are injured. Don't move around. Go upstairs!"
Ji Taoyao lifted up her skirt and was about to go upstairs. When she turned around, she saw Los. She seemed to have just remembered that Ross was there.
She stopped and said to the head of the Ji family in embarrassment: "Father, can this person who saved me stay in our house and learn how to be a knight?
He knows some basic magic and has good skills. On the way here, he told me that his whole family had starved to death due to the disaster.
After all, he saved my life, and I want to repay him..."
Los was wearing the cheapest linen clothes. Although he no longer looked like a skinny skeleton before, he was still very thin. In addition to being very beautiful, he did look like he came from a slum.
After hearing this, Mrs. Ji immediately objected in a high-pitched voice: "This kind of person can just give out a few silver coins and still stay as a knight? Do you think our Ji family is where cats and dogs can stay?!"
"
Ji Taoyao lowered her head in disappointment and whispered: "But I have grown up. Other ladies have their own knights, but I don't have one yet..."
The head of the Ji family softened his heart again. After thinking for a while, he agreed: "He can stay, but whether he can be your knight depends on his own efforts.
After all, our Ji family has very strict requirements for the Knights. If he can pass the assessment of the Knights within seven days, then he can be your knight and enjoy the same treatment as the Knights.
But if he fails the assessment, we can only give him some money and let him leave, so we can consider giving him a chance."
Ji Taoyao had no objection at all. He agreed immediately and turned to Lose and said: "You must work hard and pass the test. I believe you can do it. You must stay. I will always come to support you."
of!"
The girl standing on the steps was smiling brightly, looking like an innocent girl. She was completely different from the girl in the cellar who was threatening him with blood to make a deal.
Even Los was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, knelt down on one knee and gave her a knight's salute: "Yes, my master."
He lowered his head, and no one saw the playful smile on his lips.
From the time we met in the cellar tonight to now, not a single night has passed.
She had already shown three completely different faces to him, the cold and crazy look in the cellar, the kind-heartedness that didn't know what was true or false in the civilian area, and now the scheming look that was particularly good at disguise.
She regarded him as a slave wholeheartedly, trampling and insulting his character in this way, but she didn't know what it would look like when she was finally attacked by him, crying and begging for mercy?
