Chapter 73: The heart that died early
Ji Xinwan only had Huan Yu in her eyes, and Lian Shi only stared at him. Neither mother nor daughter noticed Huan Ji's cold gaze.
Ji Mingju saw it clearly and was shocked.
She is indeed very precocious, but after all, she is just an eleven-year-old girl. Although she has had more experience than an ordinary royal girl, she still has limited knowledge after all.
After hearing from their father about their aunt's affairs, they knew that the Huan family's cousin Yu also had a half-brother, Huan Ji.
It is said that this cousin Ji is a simple-minded person. Although he is not as outstanding as cousin Yu, he is easier to get along with.
But just now, when he looked at his sister, he looked like a sharp blade with poison, leaving all their plans without any hiding.
Ji Fengzhuo only cared about introducing his wife and daughter to know each other and did not care about anything else.
He smiled and said to the two brothers, "This is your aunt, eldest cousin Xinwan and second cousin Mingzhu."
Huan Yu and Huan Ji saluted Lian: "I have met my eldest aunt."
The two sisters of the Ji family also came forward to salute.
Perhaps because he realized that he had just become a little reckless, Ji Xinwan didn't dare to stare at Huan Yu anymore, and she looked much more pleasing than before.
After the greetings, Ji Fengzhuo greeted everyone to sit down.
Lian changed his usual stingy temperament and sat quietly aside and listened to the men's talk.
Every time my husband mentions his nephew, he never stings with praise.
She did not doubt her husband's statement because she had met Ji Fengyan when she was a child.
How could a woman who combines beauty, dignity and intelligence be mediocre?
Moreover, Huan Yu was raised by the amazing old county duke of Huan, and he must be better than men of the same age.
But her feeling was the same as her eldest daughter. She never expected that Huan Yu was so attractive.
Lian was inexplicably nervous.
Whoever gets moved first will lose half of the time, and she is the most ready-made example.
Ji Fengzhuo was just an exiled prince back then. Not to mention his future, he might not even be able to survive.
But she ignored her mother's dissuasion and insisted on marrying him as a wife.
Fortunately, my father had the same plan, otherwise she might not be able to get her wish.
However, after she really married Ji Fengzhuo, she realized that the things that attracted her at the beginning were just appearances.
This man's heart is occupied by hatred and the throne, and there is no trace of love left to his children, let alone to her.
But at that time she had already been deeply trapped in mud and could no longer get out of her.
Lian did not object to Huan Yu as her son-in-law.
After all, he was the legitimate grandson of Emperor Qingde. When Ji Fengzhuo had no son, he would inherit the throne as a son-in-law, and there would be very few oppositions.
But she didn't want her daughter to be like her, she just fell into it after meeting her.
But the young man in front of him is far better than her expectations. How can the daughter who is just starting to fall in love remain calm?
She must have a good talk with Awan as soon as possible and sound the alarm for her.
After the family dinner, Lian finally found an opportunity.
She smiled and said to Huan Yu and Huan Ji: "My aunt was happy to drink a few more drinks today and wanted to go back and take a break."
The two brothers had no objection and said a few polite words.
Lian winked at her husband and took the opportunity to tilt her eldest daughter.
Ji Feng Zhuo understood and said to Ji Xinwan: "Awan, send your mother back to her room to rest."
