Hidden in the court

Chapter 127: Climbing over the wall and falling over again

"Okay, Ying'er has come to see you. Isn't her dress beautiful? If you are still alive, please protect our only child and don't let her suffer any injustice."

Mr. Hu spoke softly and sighed, looking extremely lonely. Hu Die knelt obediently behind him, feeling the emotions and connection behind this ceremony. Time seemed to freeze, with only the sound of the wind and the words in her heart echoing in her ears.

Just like the oath she made in her childhood, she secretly swore in her heart that she must seize every opportunity to restore the glory of her family.

Mr. Hu muttered for a while until all the incense was burned out.

After the event, Grandpa Hu held his granddaughter's hand and walked slowly back home. The setting sun stretched their shadows very long. Grandpa Hu didn't know that although his granddaughter's state of mind had changed, her goal had not changed.

After a few days, Ji Mingshang no longer had any feelings for this little brother who had ulterior motives.

I haven't seen Luo Lin these days because of Luo Wei's constant vigilance and the burden of my younger brother Ji Zangyin, and I feel a little irritated.

"Brother, why don't you take me to see my sister-in-law?"

Ji Mingshang glared at him fiercely, "Does that mean I won't take you with me? That's like passing by your home three times without entering!"

The story began three days ago. Unable to contain himself any longer, Ji Mingshang decided to take Ji Zangyin to climb over the wall. So he calculated the time when Luo Wei would go to the morning court and came to the wall of Luo's backyard.

"Brother, go up and see if there is anyone around."

Ji Mingshang lifted Ji Zangyin above his head, and Ji Zangyin looked towards the courtyard.

It happened that a few servants were walking under the wall and saw a little head popping out from a familiar place, but it was not Marquis Jiangning, but a little kid they had never seen before.

"Hey, young man, this is the Prime Minister's Residence. Go down quickly. It's a bit dangerous at this height."

After giving the order, he saw the child's head slip down, so he didn't pay much attention and left in a hurry.

After the few people left, Ji Zangyin's head appeared on the wall again and looked around furtively.

"Brother, there's no one here, come up quickly."

"Okay, you climb up here first, and I'll go up next."

Ji Zangyin silently clung to the top of the wall. When he looked back, he could not see his elder brother. Suddenly, he felt the sky above his head darken, and Ji Mingshang appeared in the yard.

"Brother, let me go."

As soon as he finished speaking, two more people came in from outside the door, and you saw Ji Mingshang who had landed on the ground and the child clinging to the wall.

"My Lord, you come again... You should go back."

Despite the servants' dissuasion, Ji Mingshang still wanted to make a joke.

"Can't I go in and have a drink of water?"

"Sir, please stop making trouble. The master has said that anyone can come to this house, except you."

"Is it just me?"

"You..."

The servant lacked confidence and obviously did not want to offend Ji Mingshang.

"Okay, okay, father-in-law, is this how you play?"

Ji Mingshang didn't care about that. He raised his leg and was about to go in, but was stopped again.

The servant was embarrassed, "My Lord, I know you are of noble status, but you really can't come in?"

Ji Mingshang raised his eyebrows, "Why, I really can't get in today?"

The servant hurriedly shook his head, "My Lord, you misunderstood, it's just..."

He paused, then continued, "But the master has ordered that if he sees you, he will chase you out and never let you in. He also said that if he can't control you, he will control the young lady. From now on, every time you come, the young lady will kneel in the ancestral hall for a whole night."

When Ji Mingshang heard this, he pulled him aside and said excitedly, "Be sure to tell your master that I was here today!"

The servant was stunned when he heard this. "Don't joke around. If I tell the master, won't the young lady be punished? Please leave now. I won't tell the master."

Ji Mingshang looked at the servant, feeling somewhat disappointed. "Are you stupid? Go tell the Prime Minister that I was here today, and your young lady won't have to kneel in the ancestral hall for a whole night."

The servant looked confused, "Why?"

Ji Mingshang had a headache, "Because I have the final say."

The servant still didn't quite believe it, "Is it true?"

Ji Mingshang was helpless, "Of course it's true, when have I ever lied to anyone?"

The servant looked at him suspiciously, his eyes full of distrust. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and said, "No, I can't take risks with the young lady."

Ji Mingshang smiled, "Well, you see this boy hanging on the wall, right? He is my younger brother. I brought him here today to meet the Prime Minister."

The servant looked in the direction of his finger and found the child clinging to the wall. Ji Zangyin greeted him with a frustrated look on his face.

Then I heard Ji Mingshang say:

"It's okay. We'll just wait here and won't go anywhere. You can rest assured."

"Little one understands."

Ji Mingshang nodded, "That's good. When the Prime Minister comes back, you should report it and tell him that I brought my brother to visit him."

The servant responded but did not leave. Instead, he stood there and stared at Ji Mingshang.

"What else do you want to do? Just go about your business." Ji Mingshang waved his hand impatiently.

The servant smiled awkwardly and scratched his head: "No, I'm not busy, he can go alone, I'll stay here with you."

Ji Mingshang curled his lips and muttered to himself, this is not a question of whether to accompany him or not, it is clear that he doesn't trust him at all.

"Brother, brother...let me down!" At this moment, Ji Zangyin, who had disappeared for half a day, spoke hurriedly.

Ji Mingshang turned his head and looked over when he heard the sound, and couldn't help but twitching his mouth. He saw that the little brother was still lying on the wall obediently, not daring to move. He had been climbing on the wall for so long that he was sweating profusely.

"Hey, brother, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Ji Mingshang walked to the wall and picked him up, Ji Zangyin's face full of grievance.

"I called you a long time ago, but you didn't hear me!"

This place is just separated from Rowling's room by a wall, and the noise here quickly attracted Rowling to stick her head out.

Seeing their young lady coming out, the servants could no longer leave. Just as they were staring at each other, the mother-in-law, Wang, also arrived.

After listening to the servant's story, he smiled bitterly and said, "Go and do your work. I'll keep an eye on it here."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Go get some tables and chairs, and some food."

Then he looked at his daughter and son-in-law with a smile, "You got up so early, you haven't eaten yet, right? Don't just stand there like an idiot, come and have something to eat."

This sentence instantly eased the awkward atmosphere. Rowling had indeed not eaten anything, not to mention Ji Mingshang and Ji Zangyin who came to check out the place.

The three of them sat down at the table and ate obediently.

"Shang'er, this is..."

As soon as she sat down, the mother-in-law looked at the child she had never seen before and asked about her son-in-law.

"Aunt, this is my foolish brother. I am eight years old this year, Ji Chu, Ji Zang Yin. My father gave birth to me in the northeast, and I have never met him before. A few days ago, the crown prince and the princess went to celebrate the birthday of the King of Jin, and this kid wanted to see me, so he followed me all the way to the capital."
