Sick Man Turns Out to be a General

"Ji Shaowen is the son of the Han Lin Academy's Master Ji, who studied at the Clear Wind Academy when he was young. At that time, the Clear Wind Academy was famous in the capital, so the Fifth Young Master went to study as a man, thus the two of them became classmates. After two years of interaction, the Fifth Young Master told Young Master Ji that he is the son of Yang Family, and also confessed his twin's identity.    

But not long after Fifth Young Master Ji came back to the clan, he married the granddaughter of Senior Han, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital. After the marriage, Young Master Ji came to find the Fifth Young Master, saying that his family members were willing to let the Fifth Young Master marry into the Ji Family as a wife, and at that time, the news of Fifth Young Master's fiance having a eldest son, Shu, eldest daughter had spread, spreading unfavorable rumours to the entire clan. Fifth Young Master had refused the Fifth Young Master, so there was no contact between the two of them.    

Shen Jingli frowned, was this the double version of Liang Shan Bo and Zhu Ying Tai? No, that's not it, this is much worse than Liang Shan Bo and Zhu Ying Tai, with Ji Shaowen's condition, how can he compare to Liang Shan Bo?    

"Is Young Master Ji not on good terms with Miss Han?" If they were on good terms, Ji Shaowen would probably not come to find Yang Ningyi.    

Wei Zuo shook his head, "When Young Master Ji and Miss Han had just gotten married, their relationship was pretty good, but after Miss Han gave birth to her eldest son, there was a period of time when her temperament underwent a great change. Sometimes she became depressed, and sometimes she became angry.    

In other words, Ji Shaowen was still quite bad. After marrying his wife and taking her as a concubine, he would wait for her to become depressed and unable to control her emotions. He would not empathize with her and would even despise her, and would instead think of the Bai Yue Guang that he could not get her that year as he tried to persuade Yang Ningyi to marry him.    

Shen Jingli was so angry his stomach hurt, Wei Zuo looked at the sinister look on Shen Jingli's face and could not help but to ask: "Madam, what should I do next?"    

"You don't need to do anything, just keep staring at him. Don't let him near the fifth young master." Shen Jingli scoffed, wanting to ruin his cute cousin.    

Wei Zuo walked out from behind the screen with a sullen look on his face.    

If Shen Jingli didn't realize that Yang Ningyi had met with Ji Shaowen, no one in the entire Yang Family would have known about this incident, and he also didn't know that there was actually someone who wanted to kidnap their Yang Family and take them as concubines.    

"Ningyi is a child who understands his limits, so she won't be cheated that easily." Shen Jingli stepped forward and held his hand, knowing that he must be angry. This concerned the face of his Yang Family, if it was him, he would also be angry.    

Mu Chen nodded his head, his beautiful eyes flashed with an undetectable killing intent, and he pulled Shen Jingli into his embrace.

On the tenth day of the new year, the Old Lady Yang led the family members to visit the protector temple in the north of the city.    

In front of the big prayer mat at the National Guardian Temple, Yang Ningyi and the rest followed the old mistress and recited some scriptures. The old mistress was a person who worshipped the Buddha, and had a strong and sturdy body, so when a few juniors came with their grandmothers to pay their respects, they could bear it even if they knelt down and recited the scriptures for an hour.    

After reciting the Sutra of Blessing, the mama helped the madame to her feet. Accompanied by her eldest wife and Daughter-in-law, she went to the brothel to find the monk to enlighten her. The juniors could not wait to listen to her commands, so the eldest lady, the Madam Cheng, took the initiative to let them wander around the vicinity.    

A few of the younger generation acknowledged him and went out to play with the maidservant servants.    

The National Protector Temple was located halfway up the mountain, there was a large peach tree beside it, the leaves were tender, giving off a sense of spring. Yang Ningxin and Yang Ningtian loved to play, hence they had sneaked into the Peach Blossom Forest to catch and hide.    

Accompanied by a young servant, Yang Ningyi strolled around the National Protector Temple. When she was tired of strolling, she went to the hut to rest.    

Yang Ningyi's interest was piqued, she asked the servant to prepare some ink and paper, but the moment the servant left, a man dressed as a bookkeeper knocked on the door of the house, passed a slip of paper to Yang Ningyi, and said in a low voice: "Fifth Young Master, my Young Master is waiting for Fifth Young Master in the forest at the back of the mountain."    

The errand boy then hurriedly left.    

Yang Ningyi opened the slip of paper and took a look at it, her eyes darkly twinkling. She then put the slip of paper into her pocket, tidied her clothes, closed the door of the room and walked towards the temple's back door.    

The note was sent to him by Ji Shaowen. On the paper, he wrote a poem and drew the token of love that he gave him at the beginning, inviting him to meet him at a pavilion in the forest behind the mountain. Yang Ningyi was very nervous, he knew that she should not have met Ji Shaowen since he was an unmarried couple after all.    

After meeting him on New Year's Eve, and hearing him talk about the past, he would often dream of those beautiful days when he was only thirteen years old when he went to the Clear Wind Academy. The carriage was broken halfway through, and when Ji Shaowen happened to pass by, he brought him along on a journey. The two of them became schoolmates, and he was troubled by others in the academy.    

Ji Shaowen probably liked him back then, but he probably didn't love his enough, so he didn't fight to the end for their relationship. He didn't dare to oppose his parents, so he asked him to give up his position as wife, he still wanted to stay with him, but wanted him to share a husband with another woman. He wasn't willing to accept it, so he rejected.    

Feeling an inexplicable sense of loss and loss, Yang Ningyi slowed her pace down even more. Why would he care about such a man who wasn't brave enough and didn't love him deeply enough? Why did she foolishly run over to see him?    

After cursing himself in his heart, he continued down the small path that led to the pavilion. However, just as he was about to reach the pavilion, he heard a ruckus from there, as if something big had happened.    

"Mom, you have to believe me. I didn't date him, so I don't even know him …" A woman knelt on the ground and cried. She looked to be in a rather sorry state.    

Madam Li looked at her daughter who was crying her heart out as she knelt on the ground, and Ji Shaowen who was being held tightly by her servant, the veins on her forehead throbbed. She did not go and find the temple master to enlighten her, instead, she asked maidservant to accompany her daughter on a stroll around the mountains.    

Madam Li glared angrily and slapped maidservant who was serving her daughter. She scolded: "You little b * stard, I told you to take good care of little miss, where did you go to die? "You actually made the young lady run all the way to the back of the mountain, you useless thing …"    

When the maidservant heard that something had happened to the young miss, she became anxious. She accompanied the young miss out, and when they were about to go to the bathroom, she asked the young miss to walk around the Peach Blossom Forest for a while, and she would return soon, but who would have thought that the young miss would run to the pavilion in the forest herself, and even meet someone secretly. This would be a dishonorable thing for a lady, and she would even be caught red-handed over to bathe pigs.    

"Madam, this servant knows her wrongs. It's all this servant's wrongs …"    

"Mother, I really don't know him …" Miss Li knelt beside her mother and pulled at her mother's skirt, her freckled face crying even harder.    

He knew his own daughter, Madame Li, and she naturally knew that her own daughter had not done anything unfaithful to a woman. But everyone was watching her, alone with the man outside the pavilion. Even if she were to grind her tongue, no one would believe that it was a fortuitous encounter and that her daughter's reputation would definitely be tarnished.    

A dozen or so concubines had made a bed, but only two of them had given birth to a concubine. Aside from Li, who was already over fifty years old, the couple both felt that it was hopeless to have children. They decided to let the first-in-line girl recruit women in the future, so that someone could burn incense for them after they died.    

Now that she caused such an ugly scene, how could Madam Li not be angry? She glared at Ji Shaowen and asked: "What's your name? Which family do you belong to? "    

Fortunately, Ji Shaowen was dressed extravagantly and had a dignified appearance. With just a glance, one could tell that he came from a good family.    

Ji Shaowen never thought that such a thing would happen. He had clearly asked Yang Ningyi out, but who knew that this Cheng Ya Jin would appear, and this woman was so stupid that she had tripped herself up, and coincidentally, was seen by others, so he couldn't say for sure.    

This was an ugly matter. If his parents were to find out, they might even break his legs. Naturally, he would not reveal his identity.    

He had made up his mind to keep silent, but the people who came to the Temple were mostly the ladies of the Shangguan family. He had also seen his mother at several banquets, so someone shouted, "Isn't this the young master of Han Lin Academy's Ji University?"    

The young master of the Ji Clan?    

A cold light flashed across Madam Li's eyes, she immediately ordered her servants to suppress Ji Shaowen and bring her daughter to the Ji family.    

Yang Ningyi stood at the back and watched as Ji Shaowen was escorted away. For some reason, she was so shocked that she was drenched in sweat, he held onto the slip of paper in her sleeve and thought, if he came here first and met Ji Shaowen here, would the ones who were caught would be him and Ji Shaowen? The male couple secretly met in private. The family would definitely care about face, and marry him off to Ji Shaowen as their concubine … Thinking about the consequences, he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.    

Turning around, he quickly returned to the temple, just in time to see Yang Ningtian searching for him at the back door. Yang Ningtian's face was anxious, upon seeing him, anxiously pulled him into the temple, "Fifth brother, where did you run off to? Did you know that something big happened in the forest outside? "A private meeting between the direct daughter of Li from the east side of the city and the son of Ji Lord, a maester of Han Lin Academy was discovered."    

Yang Ningyi secretly observed his brother and confirmed that his brother did not notice anything. Only then did she heaved a sigh of relief, and heard Yang Ningtian say, "Aunt was worried that we would be affected and said that we would not eat fast food in the temple. She told us to return to the manor quickly."    

Yang Ningyi nodded her head, she and Yang Ningtian hurried to meet up with the Old Mistress, and when she thought that Ji Shaowen arranged to meet with him, it might be a conspiracy, causing Yang Ningyi to wish that she could leave immediately.    

Afterwards, Wei Zuo reported this matter to Shen Jingli.    

"He deliberately wanted to ruin Ningyi's reputation?" Shen Jingli never thought that Ji Shaowen, an Elementary Scholar, would actually use such a despicable method. The ancient people valued her reputation, and once news of his private meeting with Yang Ningyi spread, her reputation would be ruined.    

Such a vicious character, a trace of anger flashed past Shen Jingli's eyes.    

Wei Zuo replied respectfully, "Young Master Ji ordered the bookkeeper to deliver a letter to the Fifth Young Master, to arrange to meet the Fifth Young Master, and secretly instructed the bookkeeper to guide an outsider to pass through in an hour, hoping that the Fifth Young Master would have no choice but to marry him. After this subordinate found out about this matter, I found out that Miss Li was wandering alone in the Peach Blossom Forest, and lured her into the forest."    

Although it was slightly unfair to the Li family's Miss, Miss Li was worried about marrying. The Ji family could still be considered as a rich family and wouldn't bury Miss Li. It might even be a good marriage.    

"You did well." Shen Jingli smiled slightly, allowing Lee Qi to give him a red packet. He instructed, "Continue to keep a close eye on Ji Shaowen, don't let him see Ningyi in person."    

If he did not guess wrong, Steward Li and Madam Li would definitely cause trouble at the Ji Clan, but Ji Shaowen would definitely not be satisfied, and would definitely find another opportunity to meet Yang Ningyi.    

Wei Zuo accepted the reward and left.
