The gauze curtain hung low, and incense curled up.
Snowflakes drifted in through the window and were melted by the warmth of the fire in the room. They slid down the window lattice like tears in a dream. They meandered from the corners of Ji Chengjun's eyes and could not be wiped dry or wiped away.
"Ah!" Ji Chengjun screamed and opened his hazy eyes. His face was covered in tears, and his clothes were completely soaked in sweat.
"Yo, Jun 'er, don't move. Your head is still wrapped in gauze. Why are you crying? Did you have a nightmare? Don't be afraid, Father is here!" Ji Xunyuan's ecstatic tone was filled with concern. Seeing that his daughter, who had been unconscious for a night, had finally woken up, his suspended heart could finally rest.
Ji Chengjun was in a daze for a moment. He carefully sized up the handsome uncle in front of him, and his heart felt as if it had been struck by lightning. This handsome middle-aged man seemed to be her father! Although his father was also a handsome man in Shengjing when he was young, time did not wait for anyone. His temples had long been stained with white frost.
" Father…" Ji Chengjun felt like a fishbone was stuck in his throat. He did not know how to finish his thousand words. The joy of seeing her loved ones rushed up in an instant. Even if it was just a dream, she was willing to be intoxicated in the underworld forever, because the torture and pain she suffered in her life was too terrifying.
"Bastard! How dare you climb over the wall and sneak into Official Li's Tingxin Lake to fish and even burn down his courtyard! She's mischievous and doesn't have the upbringing that a noble lady should have. I'm so angry!”After confirming that his precious daughter was fine, the middle-aged father, who loved his daughter dearly, instantly transformed into the all-powerful Duke of Song, the Minister of War in charge of the 100,000-strong Ferocious Tiger Army. Because Ji Chengjun was too playful, he had almost made him send his old man off. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He shouted angrily and turned around to look for Jing Tiao.
Ji Chengjun was stunned by the roar. This did not seem like a dream. The old man in a beautiful dream was not so fierce. The small wound on his forehead was faintly hurting.
She was baffled by what she heard. It was obvious that she had fallen into the lake when she was thirteen years old. She had even accidentally burned down Minister Li's bamboo courtyard to roast fish. Her father was very protective of her, and even when Minister Li came to her door, he could do nothing about it. However, when she woke up, she was hung up and beaten by the old man.
All the arrangements in the room proved that not only did she not go to hell, but she had also returned to the age of thirteen. How unbelievable was this!
In an instant, she was shocked. She flipped over and shouted,"Granny Li! Granny Li!"
The door was pushed open from the outside, and a middle-aged woman with a round figure rushed over anxiously. She pressed Ji Chengjun back down and wrapped the corner of the blanket tightly around her."I just got out of the water wet yesterday and rested under the blanket to warm up. What if I caught a cold?”
" Save me, good nanny…" Ji Chengjun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
As soon as she finished speaking, the door was kicked open with a bang. Ji Xunyuan's face was green, and his aura was terrifying. He held a long thorn stick in his hand, and the wind mixed with the snow rushed into the house.
Ji Chengjun secretly tugged at Granny Liu's sleeve and begged coldly,""Father…"
Nanny Li was a maidservant of Lady Wang of the Song Kingdom. After Lady Wang passed away due to a difficult labor, Ji Chengjun, who was only two years old, and Ji Chengyang, the son of the Ji family, who was crying for food, grew up with her milk. When Ji Chengyang was five years old, he went to the Bamboo Ink Pavilion to raise him, while Ji Chengjun, the son of the Ji family, had always been taken care of by Nanny Li.
Ji Chengjun couldn't forget how Ji Xunyuan had scolded her with 'bamboo shoots stir-fried shredded pork' after he had flown into a rage. Nanny Li had always been favored by the Wang family when she was alive, and she was also the one who breastfed the legitimate son and daughter. Even Ji Xunyuan had to give this old maid some face.
"High Duke, you can't do this. Young Lady is still young and has a proud body. How can she withstand the power of these thorns? It was this servant who didn't take good care of the young miss, this servant is willing to accept the punishment.”Granny Li was shocked when she saw Ji Xunyuan's chaste stick. She immediately knelt in front of him and begged for forgiveness.
"I don't know who taught this unfilial daughter. She doesn't have the proper upbringing a girl should have and even caused a huge disaster. This matter has already spread throughout the capital this morning. Now that her reputation was ruined, who would be willing to marry her in the future?”Ji Xunyuan's saliva flew everywhere. The more he spoke, the more agitated he became. He was so angry that his heart was trembling.
Ji Chengjun looked at Ji Xunyuan's furious face and was a little worried about the old man's health. She couldn't afford to be upset.
Mrs. Liu moved her with emotion and reasoned with her, tears streaming down her face."Young Lady still doesn't understand things, there's still time to teach her well in the future. If Furen was reborn, Young Lady would not be so mischievous. The High Duke will spare Miss this time for the sake of Madam.”
At the mention of the Duke's wife, Ji Xunyuan's grip on the brambles loosened slightly. Even though he tried his best to hide it, a hint of sadness could be seen on his face.
Love is deep and blame is severe! Ji Chengjun felt a warmth in his heart. In her previous life, she was spoiled by nature and did not like Granny Li's nagging. She could not bring herself to ask Granny Liu for help. If she argued with her father again, she would be taught a lesson.
"Father, Jun 'er knows her mistake. She doesn't dare to be as mischievous as before. In the future, she will definitely listen to the nanny's teachings.”Ji Chengjun lifted the blanket and helped Nanny Liu up. He walked to Ji Xunyuan's side and spoke in a sonorous tone. Perhaps it was heaven's will. If his words and actions were different from the past, he was not afraid of people suspecting and causing trouble.
