Zhangsun Jing was half-lying on the bed, his arms wrapped around Yin Danfeng domineeringly. He had not slept the entire night and looked at the tears on her face, feeling both angry and sympathetic.
He really didn't know what to say to make her believe him, but he believed that as soon as the sun rose, even if he was too lazy to say it, the truth would appear in front of her. However, this development was a little faster than he had expected, making him a little disgusted by the fact that he could not grasp the changes in things.
However, he already had a rough idea of what had happened. Now, he just had to wait for the truth to be revealed. But what he cared about the most was-why was she with Wu Xiu Sheng last night, and why did she want to marry him? What exactly happened?
Things shouldn't have changed so much, and it shouldn't have changed like this. Even though she had never said that she loved him, he thought that he had some weight in her heart. His existence was different from other men, but why did she
Looking at Yin Danfeng who was curled up in his arms like a cat, Zhangsun Jing's fingertips slid across her slightly furrowed brows and caressed her curly eyelashes that were still teary. Who was she crying for? Was it for him, or for Martial Cultivator Saint?
He didn't understand. He only felt his heart fill with anger. When he recalled how she had been heartbroken last night as she nestled in Wu Xiu Sheng's arms, the flames of anger in his heart burned even more wildly and even hotter.
Why?
He narrowed his evil and cold eyes, and his big hand suddenly flipped open the blanket covering the two of them. After a while, the lazy cat on his body really couldn't stand the slightly cold air. Her red lips lifted, and her small hands kept rubbing him. Her body leaned into his arms lewdly.
Zhangsun Jing naturally hugged her tighter.
Yin Danfeng, who was in her sleep, suddenly felt that something was wrong. She opened her eyes abruptly and looked at the large palm that was wrapped around her body drowsily. She was stunned when she met a pair of deep eyes.
She was sleeping in his arms?
She thought that she had fallen asleep, that she was lying in someone else's arms. She was so shocked that she woke up because his embrace had never been so warm and intoxicating.
"What, you're so sleepy that you can't tell who I am?”Zhangsun Jing narrowed his eyes, coldly unwilling to smile at her.
Could it be that she had mistaken him for a Martial Cultivation Saint?
He suddenly tightened his arms and held her in his arms domineeringly, absorbing her fragrance. He also wanted to use this to control her thoughts, so that her head could not hold other people or think of men other than him.
"Let go of me!" Yin Danfeng roared angrily.
Her mind gradually cleared up, and the annoying memories kept popping up. She recalled the soul-shattering scene last night.
"No." He said lightly, his eyes filled with arrogance and dominance.
"You shameless man, let go of me!”
"Tell me the reason for letting you go." He was used to being unconventional and unruly, but he didn't think he could be shameless.
"You should ask yourself!" Yin Danfeng placed her small hand on his chest, but his hot body temperature came from her fingertips and ironed her hand.
She was shocked and wondered if his illness had acted up again. Even though she hated him for lying to her, she couldn't help but worry about him. She didn't know when it started, but her eyes were always searching for his back, and she couldn't help but follow him.
"What do you want me to ask myself?" Zhangsun Jing gritted his teeth and asked.
Yin Danfeng glared at him with resentment and hatred. The pain in his chest almost made her faint, but he was still unwilling to admit what he had done.
"Let me tell you, I can't tolerate having three wives and four concubines. If you want to have three wives and four concubines, don't consider me.”She said with tears in her eyes. After a few deep breaths, she finally held back her tears.
She would not cry for him again. The tears from last night were too unrestrained because she realized that his heart was not with her, but she would not cry casually again.
"What exactly are you talking about? What three wives and four concubines?”
Zhangsun Jing glared at her and clenched his fists.
In Zhangsun's family, it was common for any of the clan's descendants to have three wives and four concubines, but this did not mean that he would do the same. If he found the woman he loved the most, why would he find another woman?
He only wanted her. With her, why would he need other women?
Yin Danfeng bit his lip stubbornly and didn't want to say anything. If she said it one more time, she would have to suffer another heart-wrenching pain.
"Tell me!"
Zhangsun Jing grabbed her slender shoulders and suddenly heard a sound coming from outside the door.
"Young Master Zhangsun, Old Master wants you to bring Miss Dan Feng to the main hall and explain things clearly.”Wu Xiu Sheng stood outside the door and said respectfully.
"Dog slave, how can you speak here!”
Zhangsun Jing couldn't hold back his raging flames of anger and suddenly shouted. His fierce palm force hit Wu Xiu Sheng who was outside the door.
"Why are you treating Brother Wu like this?”Yin Danfeng's pretty face was filled with pain.
"Brother Wu?" He smiled contemptuously and leaned over her. "He is your Big Brother Wu, not my Big Brother Wu. In my eyes, he is just a slave, a dog slave who is worse than the slave who prepared my horse!”
Yin Danfeng looked at his cold face in disbelief.
"I won't give you to him!"
He could not forgive Wu Xiu Sheng, this despicable person. He clearly had another woman in his heart, yet he had disturbed Feng 'er's heart!
By the time Zhangsun Jing arrived at the main hall with a furious expression, Ji Kunfu was already pacing back and forth in the hall.
"May I know what matter Old Master Ji has?" He spoke coldly and indifferently, not even bothering with the usual formalities. His arrogant eyes swept across Ji Kunfu and Ji Danzhen in the hall, and of course, Wu Xiusheng beside him.
"Nephew, this old man wants to ask you, is this servant beside you really a woman dressed as a man?”Ji Kunfu's eyes darted to Yin Danfeng who was beside him.
"So what if she's a woman dressed as a man?" He smiled evilly.
"Is there a palm-sized birthmark on her shoulder, like a maple leaf?”Ji Kunfu swallowed his saliva and insisted on asking.
Zhangsun Jing raised his eyebrows, but Yin Danfeng, who was beside him, was so shocked that he couldn't say anything. He could only stare at Ji Kunfu with his watery eyes, not understanding why he would ask such a question.
If he already knew that she was Yin Danfeng, and that she was also Big Brother Wu's future daughter-in-law, she would not find it strange at all. But he knew that she had a birthmark on her shoulder. Could it be that Brother Wu told him?
"How did you know?" Yin Danfeng asked carefully.
"You are Feng 'er?"
Ji Kunfu's hands trembled as he reached out to her, but she dodged them.
"What are you doing?" She looked at him.
Even if she arrived in Xuzhou a little late, even if her disguise was exposed, Old Master Ji did not have to treat her like this, right?
"I'm your father, Feng 'er." Ji Kunfu shouted, his voice trembling and breaking as tears streamed down his face.
Yin Danfeng stared at him in fear, then looked at Zhangsun Jing, only to find that his eyes were fixed on Ji Danzhen, not looking at her at all. Her heart suddenly ached and her body went limp. Just as she was about to fall to the floor, he hugged her with his strong arms and carried her horizontally to sit on a chair in the hall.
She couldn't help but stare at his gentle yet cold face, and her heart sank.
"Call him father. He has been waiting for you to say that for a long time.”Zhangsun Jing sat beside her, his eyes staring straight ahead indifferently.
"But I don't know him!"
"If you weren't his daughter, why would he insist on marrying you into the Ji Manor?”Zhangsun Jing pursed his lips. "He's just making an excuse to get you back to him.”
"Yes."
How could such a thing happen? Although when she was still young, she always complained that her father didn't treat her and her mother well and constantly prayed to the heavens to give her a new father, she didn't really want a new father.
"Feng 'er, back then, when your father and mother had you, because of your aunt's interference, your mother was betrothed to a long-term worker and asked that long-term worker to take your mother and you away from Xu Prefecture. After your aunt passed away, I finally found your whereabouts and tried my best to bring you back to the Ji residence."Ji Kunfu said with tears streaming down his face, moving people.
" But…" Yin Danfeng felt his throat dry up.
All of this was too sudden, making her unable to believe that her mother was actually…No wonder her father was always unable to be pleasant to her and her mother, and always had a cold expression on his face.
"Feng 'er, father has been waiting for you to come back. Father has been waiting for this day for so long. Father planted a maple tree in the house to miss you. Now, I'm finally looking forward to your return.”
"Old Master Ji, Feng 'er won't return to the Ji residence.”Zhangsun Jing said coldly. "She will follow me back to Luoyang. This place will not be her home.”
" Nephew, what do you mean?" Ji Kunfu asked in surprise.
"I'm officially proposing marriage to father-in-law and marrying Yin Danfeng into my Zhangsun Sect." Zhangsun Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
"You!"
"I believe Father-in-law must know about my relationship with Feng 'er. If she doesn't marry me, who else can she marry?”Zhangsun Jing said arrogantly.
"No, Saint Xiu is willing to marry Feng 'er without caring about her innocence.”Ji Kunfu paused for a moment." I've been waiting for this lost daughter for many years. I will never let her leave my side again.”
"Since Old Master Ji knows that this junior is here for the wife that Grandfather has found, and Feng 'er is the girl that Grandfather had ordered someone to draw, I hope Old Master Ji will grant my wish.”
Zhangsun Jing's face darkened, and killing intent surged.
If he wanted to marry Feng 'er to Wu Xiu Sheng, then don't blame him for turning the entire Ji Manor upside down.
Yin Danfeng, who was beside him, trembled uncontrollably. It turned out that he wanted her and insisted on marrying her all because of the beauty in his painting!
" Zhen 'er and Feng' er are somewhat similar. Perhaps Young Master Zhangsun can do it." Ji Kunfu was still determined to keep Yin Danfeng by his side, even at the expense of Ji Danzhen's happiness.
"You old fool, in order to keep Feng 'er by your side, you're willing to sacrifice Danzhen's happiness?" Zhangsun Jing was extremely furious. He slapped the long-legged tea table beside him, causing it to shatter into pieces.
"You…"
"Look carefully, don't you know that the person Dan Zhen loves is Wu Xiu Sheng, and the person Wu Xiu Sheng loves is Dan Zhen?”
If today's matter had nothing to do with him, he wouldn't have bothered with this trivial matter, regardless of whether this pair of mandarin ducks would be separated or not!
" You mean them?" Ji Kunfu turned around to look at his daughter in disbelief. He saw her complaining and sorrowful face.
Wu Xiu Sheng closed his eyes in guilt and did not dare to look at his master who treated him so well. He only felt that it was a great sin for him to fall in love with Miss.
"Old Master Ji, if you insist on keeping Feng 'er by your side, do you know that you will break up two couples?”The veins on Zhangsun Jing's forehead bulged, and his eyes were as evil as ghosts.
"But…"
"If Old Master Ji doesn't agree and insists on marrying Dan Zhen to this junior, this junior has another method.”
"What method?"
"Junior can first marry Miss Dan Zhen and then give her to Wu Xiu Sheng.”Zhangsun Jing's aura was overbearing, and his eyes were sinister and terrifying. "I'm definitely going to marry Feng 'er. I'll definitely marry her and bring her back to the residence.”
Ji Kunfu's aged body tilted slightly when he heard that, and he almost lost his balance. He glanced at his daughter, Ji Danzhen.
"Father, I won't marry anyone other than a cultivator saint.”Ji Danzhen said without any shyness. If he didn't say it now, he might not have the chance in the future.
" The two of you." He looked at his most beloved daughter and Wu Xiu Sheng, who he regarded as his own, snuggling together. For a moment, he was filled with a thousand worries.
It wasn't impossible to betroth Zhen 'er to a Saint Cultivator, but if that happened, his other daughter Feng' er would have to be separated from him, but how could he ruin the happiness of his daughters for his own selfishness?
"Feng 'er will be betrothed to Young Master Zhangsun, and Zhen' er will be betrothed to a cultivation saint!”Even though he felt a little helpless, he still accepted everything with joy.
"I won't marry him!" Yin Danfeng roared and turned to run out of the hall.
"Feng 'er!"
Zhangsun Jing's eyes were sharp and his hands were fast. He stretched out his hand and immediately pulled her back.
"Let go of me. I won't marry you!”
"Who else can you marry other than me?”Zhangsun Jing roared. He was so angry that he wanted to squeeze her into his heart and let her enter his body to see his heart. "Do you think you can still marry Wu Xiu Sheng? He's your sister's husband, and you still want to force yourself to marry him?”
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who I marry, as long as it's not you!”Yin Danfeng tried to shake off his strong grip, but it was futile.
"Tell me why?" His eyes were red with anger as he tightened his grip on her hand.
The truth was right in front of her. What was she still angry about? Did she really want him to cut open her heart?
"I'll tell you why." She smiled sadly. "I want you to tell me why.”
"What do you mean why?" He was confused.
"You're lying to me!" Her tears fell again.
"What did I lie to you about?" God, who could tell him what he had lied to her about? Why didn't he know about it?
" You said you like me, but " Yin Danfeng muttered in a heartbroken voice,""Are you planning to marry me so that I can replace Red Jade to remove the cold poison in your body, or because I'm the daughter-in-law chosen by your grandfather, so you have no choice but to marry me?”
If that was the case, why would she marry him? Things were already very messy. She had a father for no reason, an older sister, and met him. All of this made her mentally exhausted.
"Since I want to marry you, it's naturally because I love you. If I didn't love you, why would I go to the Ji Manor to get involved in this mess? Why would I ask your sister all my questions? Why would I force Ji Danzhen and Wu Xiusheng to be a couple just to have you! If I didn't love you, why would I stay here and care about other people's trivial matters? What do you think?"
Zhangsun Jing was furious. He grabbed her shoulders with both hands, wanting to shake her muddled head awake, wanting her to see his true feelings clearly.
"You lied to me! I even saw you injure Brother Wu with my own eyes.”Yin Danfeng was stunned, but he suddenly remembered that Wu Xiu Sheng had been injured twice because of her.
"He ruined my plan. Shouldn't I hit him? He hugged you, shouldn't I hit him? I was kind enough to help him settle the matter between him and Ji Danzhen, but he didn't know what was good for him.”Zhangsun Jing roared. He had let him off easy by not killing him.
Yin Danfeng was stunned. He didn't expect his thoughts to be so meticulous. If everything was as he said, then wouldn't she have misunderstood him?
"What do you want me to say for you to believe me?”Zhangsun Jing shook her vigorously, his hair standing on end.
Yin Danfeng stammered, unable to say anything. He didn't know how to find a way out.
Zhangsun Jing glared angrily at her unmoved beautiful face. He gritted his teeth, lifted his robe, and knelt on the ground with one leg. Yin Danfeng was so frightened that he was tongue-tied. When he regained his senses, he immediately followed suit and knelt on both legs.
"What are you doing?" Yin Danfeng panicked. "Although I've never read the books of the sages, I know that men have gold on their knees. They can only kneel to the heavens and earth and their parents.”
"Do you believe me?" Zhangsun Jing looked at her flustered face with satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
"I believe you, I believe you. Hurry up and get up!”Yin Danfeng was so anxious that he grabbed his hands, trying to pull up his immovable body.
"Tell me, what are you arguing with me about?”Zhangsun Jing still did not move and raised his eyebrows at her. Now, he finally understood why she was throwing a tantrum.
"I…"
"Are you jealous?" He curled his lips into a devilish smile and slowly leaned over her body, caressing her snow-white neck.
"I didn't!"
"Really?" His hot and wet tongue licked her neck domineeringly. Now, it was in public.
"I don't know."
Zhangsun Jing suddenly laughed arrogantly and hugged her with both hands. He said to her in high spirits,"We are preparing to return to Luoyang. The ugly daughter-in-law is preparing to meet her parents-in-law.”
After bidding farewell to the Ji family, Zhangsun Jing brought Yin Danfeng to the shore of Xu Prefecture. He planned to take the river back to Luoyang and then to Kaifeng to visit his mother-in-law.
From afar, he could see boats docked on the shore of the bay. Boatmen were recruiting guests on the shore. Zhangsun Jing's sharp eyes noticed a familiar figure. He held Yin Danfeng's hand and quickened his pace as they walked towards that familiar figure.
"Uncle Mo!" Yin Danfeng was stunned. He didn't understand why he was still here.
"Aiya, what a coincidence! Are you planning to go back to Kaifeng? Alright, let me send you back!”Uncle Mo laughed heroically. "Don't say that my uncle cheated you. This time, when I return to Kaifeng, I only need two taels of silver. I don't need five taels.”
"You're basically waiting here for business to return. How dare you ask for two taels?”Zhangsun Jing jumped onto the boat and raised his eyebrows, appearing devilishly charming.
"Then one tael of silver is fine." Uncle Mo gulped and quickly changed his words.
Zhangsun Jing nodded and took Yin Danfeng onto the boat. However, he suddenly saw two figures walking over from not far away, as if they were going to board the same boat.
"Ding Tiandao, Cao Teli?" Yin Danfeng was even more shocked. Didn't they fall into the river?
"Do you want me to throw you into the river again?”Zhangsun Jing looked coldly at the two self-proclaimed romantic scholars.
When the two of them saw that it was Zhangsun Jing, they instantly turned around. They did not even have time to say goodbye and quickly ran away, as if there were poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts chasing behind them.
"You knew they were fine?" Yin Danfeng said. She thought back to that night, even though the wind and rain did not stop, there were still some boats on the river. They were most likely saved by those boats. Did he expect this long ago, so he threw them off the boat and spared their lives?
"God knows, they're lucky!”He said nonchalantly and gestured for Uncle Mo to start the boat.
"When we return to Kaifeng, we'll look for the red jade!”
"What, are you thinking of leaving me?”
"What are you talking about!" Yin Danfeng pouted. "I pity that piece of jade."
"I don't feel that it's a pity at all.”He pulled her into the canopy.
"What are you doing?" Yin Danfeng asked despite knowing the answer.
" Do what you want to do too." As soon as he finished speaking, the tent was filled with an embarrassing and charming spring scene again.
