Ji Chengjun's expression changed slightly when he heard this voice. He frowned and his hands, which were wrapped like radishes, trembled.
If she hadn't heard the gossip of those servant girls, she would have been kept in the dark by this cunning woman and thought that she was gentle and kind.
Now that he had thought it through, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. She laughed at Aunt Du's perfect acting skills and also laughed at her own stupidity.
"Yang Er…my Yang Er…sob sob, how could something like this happen to you?”
Aunt Du was beautiful to begin with. Although she was no longer young, she still had a charm that made people unable to look away. At this moment, her beautiful face was covered in tears. Her tears were sparkling, and she looked pitiful.
The corners of Ji Chengjun's mouth twitched slightly. Even he and his father had not cried to such an extent. They did not even have the time to be truly worried and anxious. How could they have the time to cry? The real heartache was not something that could be shouted out!
The weasel was probably here to see her brother close his coffin. He must have laughed secretly when he heard the news.
Aunt Du rushed into the house and ran straight to the wooden bed with chicken wings. Her eyes were red and swollen as she begged Imperial Physician Wang with tears streaming down her face,"How's my Yang 'er? If anything happens to him, how can I live? Imperial Physician Wang, please take pity on this woman. You must do your best to treat him.”
Then, she started to cry again,"My poor Yang 'er... sob sob"
Before she could finish her sentence, Aunt Du continued to sob. Finally, she could not bear to see Ji Chengyang's bruised and swollen face anymore. She covered her face with her sleeve and sobbed in grief.
Silvester was a little unhappy when he heard her words. It was as if he was not doing his best to save her! Putting aside the fact that he had been friends with the Duke of Song Residence for more than ten years, he would never do such a thing based on his conscience and medical ethics.
Glancing at the crying Aunt Du, Imperial Physician Wang rolled his eyes and ignored her.
Ji Chengjun sneered to himself and quickly ran to Aunt Du's side. He put his arm around her shoulder and comforted her in a low voice,"YiNiang, don't be too sad. What if you break your bones from crying? YiNiang, please be at ease. The Ji family has been an aristocratic family for hundreds of years. Chengyang naturally has the blessings of his ancestors.”
Pausing for a moment, he glanced at Aunt Du's beautiful face and said meaningfully,""YiNiang treats Chengyang as her own. I believe that Chengyang will not be able to bear to leave you. He won't be able to bear to leave me and father, and he won't be able to bear to leave the Ji family!”
Aunt Du's expression stiffened and she snorted coldly in her heart. Ji Chengyang could not bear to part with the Ji family back then. He could not bear to part with such a huge family business like the High Duke's Public House!
Ji Xunyuan had always felt a little guilty towards Aunt Du. After his beloved wife, Wang, passed away, he had no choice but to take her in as his aunt. After giving birth to a son, Ji Xunyuan rarely entered her room. Du shi had been painstakingly managing the Ji family all these years, silently enduring the pointing and gossiping of everyone.
Aunt Du had a soft personality and doted on Ji Chengjun and his sister very much, treating them as her own. However, she did not use these as capital to ask him to raise his status.
Ji Xunyuan couldn't bear it and walked over to help Aunt Du dry her tears.""It's Yang 'er's fortune to have you as his aunt.”
Ji Chengjun sneered. It was indeed a blessing!
If it wasn't for his ancestors, how could he have such good fortune!
Aunt Du was flattered. Although Ji Xunyuan was usually polite to her, there was always a distance between them. Aunt Du cried even harder and lowered her head on Ji Xunyuan's chest."Old Master, Yang 'er has been close to me since he was young. He is also a likable child, so I naturally treat him as my own. Now that Yang 'er has suffered a great calamity, I'm really sad. The person who was still alive and kicking yesterday has become like this after not seeing him for a day.”
Ji Chengjun had seen enough of Aunt Du's pretentious act. Hearing this woman say " Yang Er " again and again, he almost vomited his liver.
Aunt Du turned around and saw Ji Chengjun's hand wrapped like a dumpling. She wanted to please him, but she was about to cry again. She was extremely concerned."Jun 'er must have been weak when she fell into the water. Not only was she worried about Yang' er, but her hand was also injured. You haven't eaten yet, right? Your stomach can't be empty. YiNiang will personally cook a bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge for you.”
"YiNiang must have panicked because of her brother's worry. Have you forgotten? I couldn't stand the taste of preserved eggs since I was young. I vomited after taking a sip. I've never eaten porridge with preserved eggs and lean meat.”After a pause, Ji Chengjun said mischievously,"Now that my little brother is struggling on the line of life and death, how can I, as his elder sister, still have the mood to eat porridge? On the other hand, YiNiang feels hungry and has to quickly fill her stomach, lest she starves and spoils her body, I will be worried.”
Ji Chengjun's words were clever. He tactfully rejected Aunt Du's attempt to please her and even secretly mocked her for having the time to cook porridge and stew meat when Ji Chengyang was still unaware of the situation.
Aunt Du was extremely embarrassed and her expression froze there awkwardly. Her ability to fool people could be said to be at her fingertips. This was the first time in many years that his glib tongue could not find the right words.
