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

Chapter 95 The Lost Toffee

Ye Wanshu was very surprised. "Why does Master Ji suddenly want to stay in Yuezhou? His Majesty values ​​you highly. If you return to Lin'an and serve him, it's only a matter of time before you rise to prominence."

Ji Yunze looked at her, with many words weighing on his mind, but he found it difficult to speak. He simply said, "Actually, whether it's Yuezhou or Lin'an, as long as I can do something for the people and help you, it's all the same to me."

After a brief moment of thought, he told the truth: "I dare not hide it from you, young lady. Before I returned home, the Prime Minister came to see me."

He didn't know what to say next.

That night, Prime Minister Ji did not reveal too much. He only asked him if he was willing to be exiled to Yuezhou. At that time, he thought that Prime Minister Ji was rejecting him. Now thinking about it again, he understood the Prime Minister's deep meaning.

Hearing her adopted father using his power to bully others again, Ye Wanshu felt furious. "Did he force you? You don't need to care about his words. Young Master Ji is someone His Majesty values. He wouldn't dare to embarrass you."

"Miss Ye has misunderstood your father. The Prime Minister did not force me." Ji Yunze explained, "I actually think that the Prime Minister cares deeply about Miss Ye. Moreover, when we talked that night, he did not tell her that she had come to Yuezhou. He only entrusted her with court affairs."

"Is it really like that?" Ye Wanshu really didn't trust her cheap father.

"I will not hide anything from you, young lady."

Ji Yunze nodded and smiled: "Master Prime Minister asked me to consider it myself. I thought the girl was still in Lin'an..."

When it came to the last sentence, he found it difficult to speak. If Ye Wanshu still didn't understand the mind of this nerd, then she would be really stupid.

Covering her mouth and laughing, Ye Wanshu said, "So Master Ji is thinking of returning to Lin'an because of me?"

Ji Yunze said "hmm" awkwardly, and Ye Wanshu found his ignorant look amusing.

Compared with the scholar Sun, who has not been heard from so far, she thinks the top scholar is more interesting than that man. Although they are both very reserved, the top scholar has more of the character of a scholar, which she admires very much.

Moreover, she always felt that Ji Yunze, with his extroverted personality, would be more likely to accomplish things. After all, he was not as smooth as his father and was only suitable to be a loyal minister. But now the Empress Dowager Gu and her foreign relatives were too powerful, and his upright character would sooner or later be unacceptable to the Empress Dowager's party.

Looking at Ji Yunze with a smile, Ye Wanshu's eyes flickered slightly. "So, Master Ji's decision to stay in Yuezhou is also because of me?"

Ji Yunze's heart was pounding when she questioned him, but he was used to it. This was his normal reaction every time he saw Miss Ye.

Ji Yunze nodded resolutely, knowing exactly what he wanted.

Ever since that stunning glimpse of Lin'an City, a seed has been planted in his heart. He will feel at ease only where she is. No matter how barren the land is, he is willing to accompany her and shine together.

Ye Wanshu had long understood the character of the top scholar thoroughly. He was a man who always said what he meant. Seeing him nod seriously, she suddenly became excited and uneasy.

A tall and strong man is willing to give up his bright future in Lin'an and be exiled thousands of miles away for her. This kind of affection is naturally touching.

She knew the importance of this decision, which concerned the fate of the top scholar and was no joke.

"Master Ji, have you really thought it through?"

Ye Wanshu said solemnly, "Although I'm happy, I don't want you to be delayed because of me..."

Before she could finish her words, Ji Yunze shook his head and interrupted her: "Miss Ye, there is no need to feel uneasy. This is the result of my careful consideration. Let alone being exiled to Yuezhou, I would have no complaints even if I was dismissed as long as I can see Miss Ye. This fame and honor of mine was originally earned by Miss Ye's protection."

If it weren't for her generous help that day, he would have been captured and taken back to Tongyang to be a domestic slave. He would never forget this kindness in his life.

After he said this, Ye Wanshu became more resolute, and the fantasy that had been extinguished before was rekindled.

Since she couldn't escape the fate of getting married, she naturally had to marry the one she wanted to marry the most. Although she was not that obsessed with Ji Yunze, he was the most suitable candidate after weighing the pros and cons.

Not giving in, just getting what she needs, this has long become her attitude and principle towards love.

Knowing that Ji Yunze was a shy person, Ye Wanshu spoke directly to him: "Mr. Ji must have understood my situation clearly. My marriage is decided by me. If you have made up your mind, you can come to the mansion to propose marriage as soon as possible." Just as she finished speaking, she heard a crisp sound coming from outside, as if some porcelain had fallen to the ground.

Ye Wanshu hurried to the door to see, and saw the "auntie" standing at the door in a daze, with the freshly cooked dishes scattered all over the floor.

"Auntie, what happened to you?" Ye Wanshu said with concern, "It's nothing serious. It's just a broken plate. Don't be scared."

Concubine Zhang suddenly felt empty inside, but after thinking about it, she couldn't find any fault with the girl.

After all, it was her son who broke off the marriage, so what reason did she have to blame him? She just felt a little unwilling, unwilling to see her favorite daughter-in-law gone just like that.

Oh my God, is it true that the Yongning Palace is going to be extinct?

She couldn't imagine when it would be possible for her son to get married again.

Seeing Fu Yunni and Qin Chulin coming over behind her, Concubine Zhang quickly prevaricated, "I accidentally slipped. I'll go do it again."

After saying that, he immediately turned and left.

Seeing that his mother turned back to the kitchen, Fu Yunni didn't know what was going on there, so he jumped and followed her back.

Ye Wanshu looked at the dejected figure of the "auntie" and felt something was wrong. "What's wrong with you, auntie? Why are you so flustered?"

Ji Yunze carefully recalled all the details after meeting the old lady. The little princess treated her so close, and even the people in Chifeng Camp seemed to have a special attitude towards her.

Looking at Ye Wanshu, he suddenly had a bold guess: "Miss Ye, have you ever thought about the identity of this lady? She might be the dowager of the Yongning Palace?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Are you overthinking it, Master Ji?"

Ye Wanshu had indeed had such speculations before, but she had refuted them all forcefully.

"Concubine Zhang is of such a noble status. How could she possibly come to Yuhua Town alone? And even condescend to ask to cook in the kitchen?"

If someone of her status really appeared in front of me, I'm afraid she would not have any other attitude except shouting and showing off.

Hearing her say this, Ji Yunze also felt that he might be worrying too much.

Although Miss Ye is well-liked and is the daughter of the Prime Minister, compared with the Yongning Palace, which has a prominent family background, Concubine Zhang really does not need to be so humble.

Thinking of the interruption, Ji Yunze could not hide his excitement and returned to the topic: "Miss Ye, are you serious about what you just said? Have you really agreed to my proposal?"

She was unmoved by his enthusiasm that day in Changle Street, but it made him feel anxious for a while.

Looking at his eyes full of expectation, Ye Wanshu couldn't help but think of the scene on Changle Street when he proposed to her in front of all the dignitaries in Lin'an on the day when his name was admitted to the imperial examination. Such romance is always hard to come by.

It’s a pity that he is not Fu Mingchi, and he can’t respond like he teased that bastard.

At least you should behave more prudently in front of the top scholar.

Covering her face in a coy manner, Ye Wanshu replied shyly, "Well, I've made up my mind. I'll listen to you, Master."

Ji Yunze's face lit up with joy: "Then I will arrange it as soon as possible after returning today."

"it is good."

Ye Wanshu bowed in an extremely gentle and dignified manner. In fact, she had already made up her mind. As long as it wasn't the Gu brothers and Fu Mingchi, it would be fine.
