I have suffered enough in my previous life, my cousin will never marry me

Chapter 139 The Cheap Dad’s Beating
Hearing him say this, Ye Wanshu thought again about the days she had spent with Concubine Zhang. It seemed that she had never treated her badly, so she couldn't find much reason to complain.

Thinking of this, Ye Wanshu felt a lot more at ease and went into the courtyard with him.

Seeing his daughter and future son-in-law finally return, Ji Yuan walked out of the kitchen with a smile on his face, holding two plates of hot dishes in his hands. He softly instructed, "Wanwan, take the prince to change clothes and wash his hands, and come out for dinner soon."

Fu Mingchi was stunned to see the Prime Minister, who was usually so noble, dressed like a cook today.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan's face remained calm as he explained, "Wanwan has been taking care of Your Highness day and night these days and hasn't had a proper meal. Just now, some villagers outside the city brought in some fresh ingredients, and I made some of them. They're all Wanwan's favorites, but I wonder if they'll suit Your Highness' taste."

It seemed like an ordinary sentence, but when it came from the mouth of the Prime Minister, Fu Mingchi didn't think it was so simple.

As soon as his marriage with Wan'er was finalized today, Ji Yuan personally went into the kitchen and made all of Wan'er's favorite dishes. I'm afraid he had some hidden thoughts in mind.

I think he was warning me. Even though he was the Prime Minister, he still had to cook for his daughter himself. As her husband, I must not treat Wan'er badly in the future.

Although he didn't like Ji Yuan, Fu Mingchi admired his delicate thoughts.

"Since Wan'er likes it, I'd like to taste it carefully."

After giving Ji Yuan a polite smile, Fu Mingchi went inside with Ye Wanshu to change clothes and wash their hands.

After Ting Feng told Ji Yuan what had just happened in the morgue, thinking about his upcoming journey back to Yuezhou, he hurriedly asked, "Master, would you like to invite the two cousins ​​from the palace to come with you?"

"Miss Mu is injured. I have sent someone to take good care of her. Let her recuperate in the house."

Thinking of the other person, Ji Yuan's eyes darkened slightly. "As for Miss Zhao, since she is under house arrest under the order of King Yongning, I will have someone prepare some food and send it to her later. You don't need to say anything else."

He is the Prime Minister and his daughter is a princess personally appointed by His Majesty. Marrying into the Yongning Palace is at least a match made in heaven. There is no need for them to bow their heads and curry favor with the Fu family.

Ting Feng nodded thoughtfully, "And the young master of the Gu family, I'm worried he won't let Prince Yongning and the eldest daughter off easily."

"It doesn't matter."

Ji Yuan smiled faintly, "What's coming must be faced. Since Wanwan has chosen to marry into the Yongning Palace, I believe she must be ready to compete with the entire Gu family. All we can do now is to spare no effort to fulfill her wish."

Ting Feng knew clearly that given the current situation, it was only a matter of time before he would fall out with the Gu family.

Seeing that the master had already made up his mind, he had nothing to fear.

He clasped his fist and was about to retreat, but when he turned around, he suddenly saw the servant leading Gu Tingzhou in. The faces of both the master and the servant darkened at the same time.

Ji Yuan's brows were as cold as ice, and he asked unhappily, "What's wrong with Master Gu? Why did he come all the way to Qizhou?"

Gu Tingzhou was being supported by someone. His companions wanted to explain for him, but he quickly stopped them and limped forward. He respectfully bowed to Ji Yuan and said, "Uncle, I heard that my cousin was trapped in Qizhou, so I came here specially to help."

The servant beside him then echoed, "The eldest master's arrow wound had not yet healed. When he learned that Qizhou was in trouble, he quickly mobilized a lot of people and prepared some supplies. We hurried all the way to Baixiang County, only to find out that Miss Ye had already arrived in Qizhou."

Looking at Gu Tingzhou's dusty and disheveled appearance, which seemed much more haggard and older than when he was in Lin'an, and recalling the harsh words he had said in his house, Ji Yuan couldn't help but shook his head.

"The turmoil in Qizhou has been quelled, my daughter is fine, and your brother is probably about to leave the city. You should go back with him as soon as possible."

Ji Yuan said coldly, "If anything goes wrong in Yuezhou, neither I nor my daughter can bear the consequences."

"Uncle, I came here just to see my cousin. After confirming that she is okay, I will return to Yuezhou immediately."

Gu Tingzhou said earnestly, "Uncle, please let me meet my cousin." After all, this man had rescued the young lady before at the Pacification Commissioner's Office, so Tingfeng couldn't mock him too much. He just sighed and said, "Young Master, why are you doing this? My young lady is already engaged to Prince Yongning. You seeing her now will undoubtedly make her feel uncomfortable."

When Ji Yuan thought about the events at the Rongguo Mansion, he was filled with anger. "Get out! Since you have made up your mind to choose that prostitute, you should focus on her. Being so frivolous is really a shame."

"My nephew is not afraid of anyone making fun of him, but my cousin cannot marry Prince Yongning."

Gu Tingzhou raised an eyebrow and said, "My nephew was disrespectful to my uncle before, and even had prejudices against him. It was my fault, but if my uncle truly loved my cousin, he shouldn't have agreed to this marriage. I think my uncle should know that the Queen Mother and my father are very averse to court officials and dignitaries marrying into the Yongning Palace."

Seeing Ye Wanshu leading Chunhong and Xingtao out of the house, Gu Tingzhou hurried forward and said earnestly, "Wanwan, you can't listen to Uncle Ji. This marriage with the Yongning Palace is absolutely not possible."

Ye Wanshu looked at him with a slightly cold expression: "This is my own decision."

Gu Tingzhou choked up. "Why? You've always been smart. Even if you have grievances against me and Tingchen, you shouldn't have made such a hasty decision. You've been in the Rongguo Mansion for so long, you should be clear about the position of the entire Gu family. The Queen Mother will not tolerate this happening."

"Gu Tingzhou, I am the daughter of the Ye family, not a puppet of your Gu family. It is not the Gu family's turn to interfere in my marriage."

Looking at him, Ye Wanshu's face was cold and indifferent. "There's no need to use your Gu family to pressure me anymore. No matter how difficult the road ahead, I'm more determined than ever to marry into the Yongning Palace."

When Fu Mingchi came out, he felt warm in his heart when he heard these heartfelt words.

He walked forward calmly and smiled warmly at Ye Wanshu, saying, "Let's go have dinner. After dinner, pack your luggage so you can leave early tomorrow."

"Ah."

Ye Wanshu smiled and responded, then turned to follow him to the dining hall. Gu Tingzhou angrily shouted at Fu Mingchi, "Prince Yongning, why are you so selfish? You clearly know you've become a thorn in the court's side, yet you still want to implicate my cousin?"

"A thorn in the court's side?"

Fu Mingchi paused, and looked at him with a sinister look in his eyes. "I think this sentence is more suitable for Master Gu and the Gu family."

Gu Tingzhou secretly clenched his fists: "Since you know the prestige of my Gu family, how are you going to protect her?"

"Don't worry about that, Master Gu."

Fu Mingchi's tone was cold. He glanced at him and then helped Ye Wanshu to the dining hall.

"see a visitor out."

Ji Yuan's face darkened and he lost interest in listening to his chatter. He directly ordered Ting Feng to drive the man away.

"Mr. Gu, please come in," Ting Feng called out in a deep voice.

Seeing Ye Wanshu disappear from his sight, Gu Tingzhou felt bitterness welling up in his heart, his eyes filled with unwillingness, but he didn't know how else to persuade his cousin.

This marriage was of great importance, and he couldn't just watch his cousin jump into the fire pit.

After all, from the day she entered the Duke of Rong's Mansion, she was destined to be a member of the Gu family for the rest of her life. This was an unchangeable fate.

"Master, let's go back first."

His companions noticed that Ji Yuan didn't want to see him, and whispered to him.

Gu Tingzhou was at a loss as to what to do and had to retreat with his men.
