However, this person was so young, but his martial arts attainments were already so shocking. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a martial arts genius. Offending such a person was a draw. It would not be bad to befriend him.
Moreover, looking at this person's aura, he did not seem like an ordinary person. He could take out 50,000 taels at any time. His family background should be rich. It should not be a big problem for him to return her 100,000 taels. If she insisted on it, she would offend others instead.
He had already saved his life, so did he have to offend her again? Then wouldn't she really have worked for nothing?
After thinking about it, no matter how indignant he was, Ji Zi had thought it through. He deliberately said in a disappointed tone," Forget it, forget it. Even if I miscalculated today and suffered a loss from Young Master, I will temporarily keep this jade pendant for Young Master. If Young Master wants to redeem it in the future, you can leave a message at any Yunzhi Inn in the country. Someone will naturally inform me."”
Yuchi Yan's deep eyes stared at her for a long time before she nodded.
Feeling stifled and anxious, coupled with the fact that it was getting late, Ji Zi stood up and said," This secret chamber is safe. Young Master can rest for a few days. The rent will naturally be included in the debt. Is Young Master okay?"”
"No problem."
"Alright, I'll take my leave first."
After Ji Zi left, Yuchi Yan looked at Qing Xiao, her eyes cold and fierce." Tell me everything that happened during this period of time.”
Qing Huo briefly explained what had happened and then said angrily," The Crown Prince has gone too far. Master, we probably won't be able to return to the Red Country now. Your injury was most likely caused by the Crown Prince bribing the people from the Black Sorcerer Sect. And now, the Crown Prince has probably set up an ambush near the Red Country, waiting for you to walk right into the trap.”
Yuchi Yan's eyes were like a dark pond in the moonlight, bottomless and threatening." Heh, Yuchi Shao has spent a lot of effort to deal with me. I just don't know how he will explain it to Imperial Father if I die.”
"Master, the Crown Prince has always been muddle-headed and has no brains. This time, he was able to think of bribing the martial arts sects to make a move.”
Yuchi Yan didn't say anything, but her expression was firm. There was someone behind Yuchi Shao, and he knew very well who that person was. It was just that the time wasn't right, so he couldn't act rashly.
He paused for a moment and thought of something. He said," I remember that the alliance between Sheng Country and Chi Country was just recently."”
Speaking of this, Qing Xiao became even angrier." What marriage alliance? I heard that Sheng Country has no intention of marrying Chi Country. This time, the person they found is not the daughter of some low-class minister. It is said that she was raised in the countryside and has never lived in Jingdou. She is ignorant and ugly. How can such a person be worthy of the master? This is simply an insult to the master!"
Yuchi Yan sneered, but she was very calm." No matter who she is, this marriage alliance will definitely not succeed.”
Qing Huo nodded. Sheng Country had no intention of marrying Chi Country, and Chi Country was not willing to accept the princess of Sheng Country. This marriage alliance was a game between the two countries. It did not matter who won or lost. What was important was the attitude of the two countries. As for the princess who had married him, she would definitely lose her life.
And now, Ji Zi, who still did not know that he was about to lose his life, returned to the Ji residence. Along the way, there was frost on his face and his expression was cold.
Qian Yan knew that the young lady had made a loss and was not in a good mood. She did not dare to disturb her. After entering the plum garden, she hid in the kitchen and prepared a meal for the young lady.
When Bai Fei returned, he saw the young miss sitting at the table, poking at the rice from time to time. Her expression was extremely ugly.
After asking Qian Yan about the whole story, Bai Fei felt indignant. Someone actually dared to go back on her words. They were simply asking for death.
He pretended to rush out, but Qian Yan pulled him back." Are you stupid? Miss must have her own considerations if she's willing to admit this loss. Don't do anything rash. If you ruin Miss's plans, I'll skin you alive."”
Bai Fei shrunk his neck in fear. He had seen with his own eyes how the young lady had beaten people up.
Ji Zishi finished her dinner without knowing what was going on. Then, she talked to Bai Fei about the business under the Bright Dawn Sect. This afternoon, she had specially changed into men's clothes because she had planned to make a trip personally. However, she did not expect an accident to happen on the way, which delayed her.
When it was a quarter to nine, a servant came to report that Ji Yang was looking for her.
Ji Zi's mood, which had been unhappy for the entire day, finally improved. She changed her clothes and brought Qianyan with a smile on her face.
Arriving at the main hall of the main courtyard, he saw Ji Yang and Madam Xiao talking. Madam Xiao said a few words and suddenly began to cry, looking aggrieved and unwilling. Ji Yang's face was dark, as if he had aged twenty years overnight.
Seeing this scene, Ji Zi had an idea in his heart.
After entering, she didn't pay her respects. She only smiled faintly and said leisurely," Father, why did you call me here?”
Ji Yang gritted his teeth and recalled what the empress dowager had said to him today. He felt his organs ache terribly. All of this disaster was because of a single sentence from this wicked woman!
At the thought of this, his heart felt stifled again.
However, if he did not obey the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, he would be defying the imperial edict.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Ji Yang said," Ji Zi, the Empress Dowager has put in a lot of effort to prepare your dowry. Eighty thousand taels of silver as dowry, and all kinds of masterpieces and brocades are available. Tomorrow, the princess 'title will be announced. You should prepare for it first. You will receive the decree tomorrow morning."”
Ji Zi knew that this would be the result. He smiled lightly." I know."”
Ji Yang was even more upset." What kind of attitude is this? You don't even say a word of thanks. Your words and actions are so light. Are you looking down on the Empress Dowager's gift?!"”
This was purely an excuse. Ji Zi's eyes darkened and he smiled again." The imperial edict hasn't come yet. I want to keep these to thank you. We'll talk about it tomorrow morning."”
"You…"
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first.”With that, he turned around and left.
Ji Yang was so angry that he was fuming. Madam Xiao added fuel to the fire," Old Master, how could this child be like this? Why didn't you tell her that the Emperor was only willing to pay ten thousand taels of silver. The remaining seventy thousand taels, as well as those utensils and porcelain, will have to be paid by our family. Tell her to exempt all of these." Old Master, that's seventy thousand taels of silver. That's more than half of our assets. How are we going to live after losing so much money?”
Ji Yang felt his heart ache, but he still said," Do you think I don't want to avoid it? But the Empress Dowager has spoken. When the time comes, these dowries will be sent to the streets of Jingdou with the ceremonial procession. The Emperor is telling everyone in Jingdou that he is giving this marriage in a grand manner and that the marriage with Chi Country is also a show of sincerity.”
"Why does the emperor want face and want our family to pay silver? Old Master, you have to think clearly. You've given your status to this little evil girl. What do you want my Yan 'er and Ling' er to do in the future?”
"What can I do? What else can I do? Do I dare to defy the imperial edict?”Ji Yang was also furious. He had already suffered a beating in the palace, and now he had to listen to his wife's complaints when he came back. His expression was even more tense.
