Chapter 93 Not Returning to the Duke’s Mansion
Early the next morning, Guan came to the inn to look for Ji Mingzhu.
Also coming with him was Xie Yunling.
Ji Mingzhu asked them to meet at a restaurant and have lunch together.
But the mother and daughter were too worried about her and couldn't wait until the agreed time to attend the appointment, so they rushed here early.
At this time, Ji Mingzhu had just stood up and was wearing a jade-colored middle coat.
Without the cover of her dress, her figure became even slender.
Guan wanted to cry when she saw Ji Mingzhu like this.
In the past, Mingzhu had a well-proportioned figure, and compared with other little girls, she had a rounded beauty.
But now her face has lost a layer of flesh, the edges and corners are obvious, her body is more slender, and her wrists seem to be broken with just a slight break.
Even with lipstick on her face, Guan could see the sickness on her face.
I endured it again and again, but I still couldn't hold back my tears.
"Mingzhu, aunt has wronged you again."
Ji Mingzhu was held in her arms and felt the urge to cry.
In addition to her biological parents, she also has the wholehearted love of her aunt. She is lucky.
Holding back tears, "I have not been wronged. Chang'an has been very good to me, and the Yuan family is also very good. My aunt has found a good marriage for me. I am grateful to you for not being too late."
During her later days in the Yuan family, she had a very relaxed life and was ready to get married and have children with Yuan Changan.
It's a pity that she was not blessed.
Mrs. Guan felt even more sorry for Ji Mingzhu.
If the Yuan family and Yuan Chang'an were not in good terms and tragedy happened, it wouldn't be so heartbreaking.
Such a good husband.
Mingzhu was almost able to marry him.
If the marriage goes well and she has two more children, even if something unexpected happens and the children are around, she won't be helpless.
Now I have to continue to wander like a rootless duckweed...
The poor child has suffered so much since he was a child.
How long will it take for Mingzhu to live a good life?
Guan's heart felt sour and unbearable, she felt sorry for her deceased friend and her mother-in-law's sister-in-law.
Is this a bad fate?
It was obvious that the two young men were in love with each other, so why did a good thing end in tragedy?
The more I thought about it, the sadder I became, and my tears couldn't stop flowing.
Seeing them cry, Xie Yunling also cried.
In her heart, Ji Mingzhu is her biological sister.
My sister is suffering, how can my sister remain indifferent?
The suppressed cries came out, and Xie Yunzheng, who lived opposite, heard them clearly.
My heart felt uncomfortable, like needles pricking me.
He doesn't like Mingzhu crying, and he doesn't like her crying for other men.
If he was more arrogant, he should go over at this time and forcefully wipe away her tears.
She is not allowed to mention Yuan Changan again, let alone shed a tear for him!
But no.
Doing so will only push the pearl further away.
God took pity on him and gave him a chance. This time he had to wait patiently and not approach her rashly.
He pressed his heart, trying to get rid of the stinging feeling.
Listening to Ji Mingzhu's suppressed cries, the heartache not only did not ease, but intensified.
Xie Yunzheng laughed bitterly.
The pearl in his previous life misunderstood his relationship with Du Peran.
At that time, she must have been so heartbroken.
Realizing this, Xie Yunzheng no longer restrained himself, but allowed the pain to spread rampantly in his body.
The doors and windows in the house were closed tightly, and a subtle light seeped in from the window panes and fell on Xie Yunzheng's back.
The shadow blurred his face, and loneliness and sadness seemed to have substance, shrouding him tightly. In the end, he couldn't hold it on any longer and leaned on the desk, bending his pride.
It would be great if there was a medicine for regret in the world...
In Ji Mingzhu's room, Guan held her and cried for a long time.
It took about a cup of tea before the mood calmed down.
Guan stroked her hair gently, "Some things are destined. The living must go on well in order to live up to the wishes of the deceased."
Ji Mingzhu didn't want her aunt to worry, "I will be fine and won't do anything stupid, don't worry."
Knowing that Mrs. Guan was worried about her, Ji Mingzhu didn't want to say more and could only change the topic.
"Second brother, has he returned to Beijing?"
"He's back, but he went down to Yangzhou to find you."
Ji Mingzhu also took the water route and did not meet Xie Yunxuan.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
When I learned about this, I felt moved and guilty.
"Second brother, this trip was in vain again."
Guan Shi shook her head, "As long as you are good, you will not run away in vain."
Xie Yunling said: "Sister Mingzhu, please go home with us, so that my mother and second brother don't have to worry."
Although the house is not safe, at least his life is not in danger.
Sister Mingzhu is pretty and lives alone outside. What if she is targeted by a bully?
After all, people in the capital were spreading rumors that Sister Mingzhu had severed ties with the Duke's Mansion.
Even if their second roommate comes forward to clarify, few people believe it.
Without the support of the Duke's Mansion, Sister Mingzhu is really in danger outside.
Even if this is at the foot of the imperial city.
It is not unheard of for a dandy to rob a girl from a good family.
Guan also wanted Mingzhu to go back, but she knew that Mingzhu would not agree.
The old lady went too far back then, and no one with integrity would go back on his own.
Unless... A Zhengfei won't marry her, and he will welcome her into the house in a glorious manner.
Apart from A Zheng, there is no other person who can make the old lady and the princess surrender.
This move can also slap those two people in the face...
As expected, Ji Mingzhu spoke warmly, "I have reached haircut and am no longer a child. I can take care of myself."
Xie Yunling was anxious, "Are you afraid that grandma and aunt will find trouble? Don't be afraid, besides us, eldest brother will also protect you."
After saying that, Xie Yunling covered her mouth.
She seems to have mentioned someone she shouldn't have mentioned.
In the Duke's Mansion, the word Ji Mingzhu was taboo, and the old lady ordered that no one should mention her again.
Thinking about his brother's embarrassed appearance, he must have been rejected by Sister Mingzhu.
Then Sister Mingzhu would definitely not want to mention him.
Xie Yunling looked regretful, she shouldn't have spoken so quickly.
Ji Mingzhu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her expression did not change, and she did not let Xie Yunling get off the stage.
"I know you care about me, but my mother bought me a house in the west of the city before she was alive. It has been empty for the past few years. If there is no one to live in it and it is not popular, the house may be abandoned."
There are many wealthy households living in the west of the city, and the public security is pretty good.
Guanshi sighed silently, "Then I'll listen to you. After the housewarming, my aunt will arrange two teams of guards for you, and then you can establish a good relationship with the neighbors. This is the foot of the imperial city, and you have to think twice about doing evil. You can do it yourself. Be more careful and come to the Duke's Mansion to find me if something happens. Don't force yourself."
With her understanding of her nephew, he would definitely pay attention to Mingzhu's situation.
Maybe someone will be sent to protect her secretly.
Thinking of this, Guan felt a lot more relieved.
Rather than letting Mingzhu live under someone else's roof and continue to be made things difficult for her by the old lady and the princess, it might be a good thing to start her own business.
"Think more about yourself and don't listen to the ups and downs outside." Guan finally told Ji Mingzhu.
