Chapter 732: Scheming Cousin and Cold-blooded General 8
Chapter 732: Scheming Cousin and Cold-blooded General 8
*
Yun Wu was stunned for a moment before she realized that the eldest daughter of the Fang family seemed to like Ji Siyan...
She frowned slightly after hearing what was said just now, lowered her eyes slightly and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"This is the first time Yun Wu has met Miss Fang today. I don't know what I have done wrong to deserve such slander. If Miss Fang still refuses to give in, Yun Wu will have no choice but to go find my uncle and aunt to avoid damaging the reputation of the Xiangfu..."
"I am just an orphan girl, a distant cousin who can't be considered anything. My father and the Duke of Qi are good friends, and the Queen also likes me very much. Don't use the Prime Minister's Mansion to pressure me!"
Fang Xinyue said this in a haughty manner, with a smug look on her face. The two or three young ladies from small families around her were trying to fawn over her.
This made Fang Xinyue's guilty feeling when Yun Wu mentioned the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister's wife disappear in an instant.
She has the Fang family, the Duke's Mansion, and even Queen Qi backing her up. Why would she need to be afraid of a little cousin from the Prime Minister's Mansion?
"I'm going to marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future. I hate women like you who are so eloquent and scheming."
Fang Xinyue snorted coldly. She prided herself on her beauty and never liked women who were prettier than her. Moreover, this vixen now lived in the prime minister's residence. What if she shamelessly flirted with the guy she liked?
Soon Fang Xinyue's eyes fell on the purple dress that Yun Wu was wearing. Her skin was whiter than snow, and the purple dress made her look even more delicate and exquisite.
What a coincidence! Fang Xinyue was also wearing a purple dress today. She immediately got angry and said unhappily:
"Who gave you permission to wear the same color clothes as me?!"
Yun Wu looked down at the silk skirt she was wearing, her slender figure twirling a handkerchief, and then gave Fang Xinyue a somewhat innocent look.
The attendant next to Fang Xinyue came over and lowered her voice and said:
"Sister Fang, she seems to be wearing something better..."
"Shut up!"
Fang Xinyue became even more angry when she heard this. She had always been arrogant and domineering, and Yun Wu was more beautiful than her, so she naturally became even more arrogant.
"Go! Take off her clothes."
The two or three followers around Fang Xinyue were a little hesitant. They wanted to curry favor with Fang Xinyue, but they were a little timid about doing such a thing.
"Go!"
Fang Xinyue twisted the arm of a lady next to her in annoyance, and that lady had no choice but to step forward.
But before the hand could reach out to grab Yun Wu's arm, it was stopped by a cold voice.
"stop."
The little follower paused as he stretched out his hand, and in the blink of an eye, a tall figure walked forward and stood in front of Yun Wu.
That stern face was expressionless, and his tall and strong body gave people a sense of oppression that was difficult to ignore.
"Sister Fang, it's, it's Master Ji..."
The little follower retreated back to Fang Xinyue tremblingly, and Fang Xinyue's originally arrogant and domineering demeanor suddenly became gentle.
She looked at Ji Siyan's cold but still handsome face and couldn't help blushing slightly, saying shyly:
"Major General, it's been a long time since we last met. I——"
"Whose clothes did Miss Fang say she wanted to take off?"
Ji Siyan frowned and looked displeased. He was not familiar with the person in front of him, but the behavior just now was what he disliked the most.
Suddenly, Ji Siyan felt someone gently pulling his sleeve.
He turned his head and saw the girl in the smoky purple dress behind him with red eyes shaking her head slightly at him.
"It's okay, cousin. Sister Fang just doesn't want others to wear the same color clothes as her. It's okay for me..."
Yun Wu's voice was weak, and she pretended to be a little scared and hid behind Ji Siyan.
There was no extra expression on Ji Siyan's face. He pursed his lips tightly and looked at Yun Wu's rolling eyes and knew...
She said that on purpose.
"Well, you're pretending to be weak in front of the young general. You're really a vixen!"
Fang Xinyue said very angrily. She was angry when she saw Yun Wu hiding weakly behind Ji Siyan.
But Ji Siyan turned around and looked at her coldly. His dark eyes were cold and sharp. Fang Xinyue was frightened and didn't dare to really do anything.
"You speak obscene words. Is this the rule of the Shangshu family?"
Ji Siyan's voice was cold, he frowned and turned his head to look at Fang Xinyue.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I will let Master Fang discipline you."
"me……"
Fang Xinyue was speechless. She didn't expect Ji Siyan to suddenly appear and speak up for that cousin of humble status.
Ji Siyan is the son of the prime minister and a major general, and now she is even a favorite of the emperor. If this were to get to her father, he would probably punish her for the sake of his face.
Fang Xinyue had no choice but to suppress her anger for the time being. She looked at Ji Siyan aggrievedly, and felt that she had lost face when she saw that he did not react.
His face turned blue and red and he quickly left with his followers.
After Fang Xinyue and the others had gone far away, Ji Siyan slowly turned around and said calmly:
"You are the cousin of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If someone bullies you, you can just fight back. There is no need to—"
As soon as he turned around, his voice stopped, because the delicate and frail cousin behind him was about to cry.
"Awu is a lowly person with little influence, and I dare not rely on the prestige of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Fortunately, my cousin is here, otherwise I..."
Yun Wu's voice was weak, and she twirled the handkerchief in her slender hands and shrank her shoulders a little uneasily.
Ji Siyan looked at her silently, only to see her quickly raise her head and glance at him, then squeeze out a few tears in the next second, looking pitiful.
"Sister Fang just said that she is going to marry my cousin, and she will drive me away when she enters the mansion."
Yun Wu spoke in a soft voice, and she pinched her thigh secretly. Tears soon filled her eyes, and she looked at Ji Siyan pitifully with her moist eyes.
Ji Siyan saw all the trace of guilt in her eyes.
Ji Siyan frowned slightly, looking at the girl's increasingly red eyes and aggrieved expression, he still calmed down.
"Will not."
Ji Siyan said expressionlessly. He was not good at comforting people. He just raised his hand slowly and stiffly and patted Yun Wu's back to comfort her.
"I am not familiar with her, and she will not marry into the prime minister's mansion."
"Really, really?"
Yun Wu blinked twice, but still looked up at Ji Siyan with a pitiful and uneasy expression.
Ji Siyan shifted his gaze away somewhat unnaturally and hummed in a low voice.
"Then I feel relieved. Thank you, cousin..."
Yun Wu then burst into laughter and smiled softly at Ji Siyan, with a hint of sly pride in her eyes.
She is really smart. Although she cannot hook up with Ji Siyan, if she can establish a good relationship with Ji Siyan and make him treat her as his own sister, then he will be her supporter in the Prime Minister's Mansion!
He is different from Ji Yao and Ji Chi. He now holds an official position and power. With him as a brother to rely on, she no longer has to worry about being forced to marry as a concubine.
But what Ji Siyan in front of her was thinking was...
She really liked him.
He thought this expressionlessly, but still couldn't help but slightly turn his head to glance at Yun Wu who followed him to the front hall.
She followed him obediently, and said in a soft voice that she couldn't keep up and asked him to walk slower.
Ji Siyan did not respond when he heard this, but just slowed down his pace. He saw a faint smile on Yun Wu's face, and it seemed that she enjoyed following him closely.
He has always disliked people who pretend to be weak and scheming. However, when facing Yun Wu, although he could always see through her calculations, he never exposed her.
As Ji Siyan thought about this, his expression became even colder and more solemn, and the tips of his ears turned slightly red.
Whatever, who made her like him so much? It would be fine if she used some tricks...
