Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 186 Retiring in person, losing all face (2)
But Mother Song didn't say much, so he didn't want to ask more questions, leaving only Huawei in the outer courtyard, and he followed Mother Song inside.

I met Qi Zhan two days ago, and he said that this matter has been handed over to the sixth girl of the Ji family. It is said that the sixth girl of Ji family has already done it with ease, and Qin Zi didn't even know what to do for it. I am lucky, but I should feel sad for Ji Chonglian.

Even if his own sister treats her like this, maybe Ji Chonglian's life in Ji's family is not as good as it looks on the surface, but he has to stab her in the back again, just to make a final decision on this protracted matter.

Arriving at the main room of Xuanyi Hall, Mother Song stood still outside the house, bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation, but her attitude was alienated, and even the maid who served Mrs. Ji on weekdays looked at him very unkindly , this made Qin Zi secretly a little puzzled.

Could it be that what Qi Zhan told Ji Ziwei to do was revealed?

No, it won't...

Qin Zi shook his head secretly. He asked Huawei to inquire recently, and he didn't hear any big movements in the inner courtyard of Ji's family. It was really going to be revealed, and even Qi Zhan didn't dare to confess him. This is what I found myself!
Thinking of this, Qin Zi pursed his lips slightly, lifted his robe, and strode in.

Mrs. Ji's room was no different from usual. In the middle was a huanghuali wood arhat bed, and at the end of the bed were several beds of autumn-scented striped mattresses embroidered with mang patterns in gold thread. A low table was placed on the arhat bed. There are small sandalwood screens with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and two rows of nanmu chairs are placed neatly on both sides of the Arhat bed.

There is a long desk under the window sill in the corner. On the desk is a red sandalwood cloisonné enamel animal ear stove. There is a puff of smoke from the stove. The fragrance is not sweet, and it even smells slightly astringent, but it is refreshing. With the effect of refreshing his brain, Qin Zi turned his eyes around, and was already slightly taken aback.

"Hi old lady."

Qin Zidu saluted the old lady Ji respectfully. The old lady just gave a faint "hmm" and didn't say to let him sit down. She just looked at him from top to bottom with scrutiny.

For such a young man with impeccable appearance and demeanor, Mrs. Ji really doesn't want to believe that he is a duplicity, but when she thinks that the person he hurts is her most beloved granddaughter, her good impression of Qin Zidu in the past instantly fades away. Dissipated without a trace, only the cold frost remained in the eyes.

Qin Zi was also taken aback when he raised his head. Normally, the old lady Ji was always kind to him, but now... thinking about what he saw today, he already had a bad feeling in his heart, but he was still respectful on the surface Said: "I don't know why the old lady called her son?"

"Young Master Qin, sit down first!"

The old lady Ji waved her hand lightly, Ganoderma lucidum had already entered the room with the curtain drawn, and retreated out quietly after serving tea.

Call him Mr. Qin, not Zidu.

Qin Zi was silent for a while, but he still held his hands in a meek manner and said: "What is wrong with Zidu, the old lady can point out a thing or two."

"Don't dare!"

The old lady Ji sneered, "Mr. Qin is the courtesan of the court, and the only ones who can mention you are your father and teacher. How can my Ji family have any virtue? I dare not trust you!"

The old lady Ji played Tai Chi, and what she said was so sarcasm, if Qin Zi couldn't hear the flavor of it at this moment, it would be a waste of work, so he also treated it with seriousness, listening to the old lady's next words .

"Originally, this is also a matter for you young people. My old lady is old and blind, so I shouldn't get involved like this, but why can't I, a fifth girl, suffer a little bit of grievance, so I want to make this decision for her... but I don't know It was wrong."

The old lady Ji rarely sighed, but when she turned her eyes, she was fixed on the rosewood screen carved with flowers, grass, insects and fish in the inner room, and whispered, "Fifth girl, come out!"

"Yes!"

Someone answered from behind the screen, Qin Zi was startled for a moment, he felt the strings in his head tense in an instant, and the palms on his knees clenched into fists.

Such a clear and sweet voice, like a mountain spring falling jade, clattering, people can't help feeling a touch of coolness in the bottom of my heart, maybe even colder, because he smelled a trace of coldness and indifference from that voice.

Ji Chonglian's figure turned out of the screen and came stepping slowly.

Today she wore a thin autumn shirt of Yuehua brocade printed on both sides of Sichuan embroidery, and tied a pleated skirt in the color of jade-colored butterflies playing among the flowers around her waist. She wore a bun on the left and right sides, and glued pink and green lotus-shaped inlaid jade on it. A piece of Baodian, although it is a simple attire, is already so beautiful that it is difficult to describe it.

Qin Zidu was stunned there for a moment, the girl in front of her had eyebrows like emerald feathers, muscles like white snow, waist like a string of plains, teeth like shellfish, lips with a touch of red cherry, like crimson lips reflecting the sun, especially a pair of wonderful eyes , It's like a pool of clear water, as if it has exhausted the world's waves.

This is the fifth girl from the Ji family... Ji Chonglian?

His... fiancée?
"grandmother!"

Ji Chonglian bowed to Mrs. Ji, then turned to Qin Zidu, but called him "Mr. Qin" politely, but did not greet him.

Such a person is not worthy of her courtesy.

"Ji...fifth girl!"

Qin Zi lowered his gaze, and at that moment, he felt like he was about to hold his breath.

He has seen many beautiful women, maybe Ji Chonglian is not as beautiful as Gu Xueyan in terms of beauty, but her generous demeanor and confidence in her gestures immediately make her brilliance shine like a cloud, while Gu Xueyan is so weak and pitiful His posture can be completely ignored and covered up in front of her.

Even he couldn't help feeling overwhelmed. Of course, this was only for a moment. The next moment, his sanity had recovered.

Why did Mrs. Ji ask Ji Chonglian to come out? It stands to reason that a girl who has not left the court would not easily meet a foreigner. Even if they are already an unmarried couple, they should do what they should avoid.

As if anticipating what Qin Zidu was thinking, a smile appeared on the corner of Ji Chonglian's lips, which subdued her cold air a little bit, and he actually felt a moment of warmth, and his long and narrow eyes unconsciously narrowed slightly rise.

Only Ji Chonglian said softly: "It's not what grandma meant, but I want to see Mr. Qin."

Ji Chonglian's voice was cold and soft, but Qin Zi didn't feel any kindness, it was more like a coercion, like the prelude of a storm.

"What advice does the fifth girl have?!"

Qin Zi's expression was restrained, and when he raised his eyes again, there was already a trace of solemnity in his eyes.

What was in front of him was not just a simple girl, she was able to manage Ji's family in an orderly manner at such an immature age, her means and courage alone should not be underestimated.

Men fought hard in the hall, but the battlefield in the backyard was dominated by women. Qin Zi realized that he was standing on Ji Chonglian's territory at the moment. Even though he kept cheering him up in his heart, he was inevitably weaker in the field of aura.
