Chapter 233 Are You Sure You Are Not Trying to Draw Hatred on Me?
Yan Xiuyuan's pupils narrowed and he glared at Xie Mingzhi angrily.
Xie Mingzhi sighed and softened his tone: "Xiuyuan, compared to a person and a family, of course the family is more important. In addition to this daughter, don't forget that you have a son and a daughter, and a wife who loves you deeply. To be honest, the facts have destined that you and Princess Mingyue cannot live in harmony, you must make up your mind."
"Xiuyuan, you are not in good spirits. Take a good rest in the mansion before going back! If you are not comfortable living in the Shangshu Mansion, just buy a house outside. It is better than living under someone else's roof."
The last sentence touched Yan Xiuyuan's heart.
The reason why the old lady and the eldest brother accepted him was that they thought they could benefit from their daughter. Now that their daughter did not listen to them, they took their anger out on him and did not treat him well.
Besides, he had been the lord of Yanling Mansion for several years, and he also had his ex-wife's dowry as a foundation, so he really had no shortage of money.
In the afternoon, Xie Rui took Yan Xiuyuan out to look at houses.
Ji Yun came to visit the Princess's Mansion again and brought Jian Yue the news that Xie Chujiao and Wen Yuanxi had contracted a "strange disease".
"Is this what you mean by 'not over'?" Ji Yunzhong looked at her with amusement and said teasingly, "I didn't realize that you are still a vindictive person."
Jian Yue glanced at him and asked: "If you were bullied to the point of being bullied, would you endure it?"
Ji Yunzhong raised his chin proudly, with an arrogant look on his face: "This prince never waits overnight for revenge. If I don't like someone, I'll beat him or kill him."
Jian Yue didn't believe it: "Does your father know that you are so arrogant?"
Ji Yunzhong snorted and said nonchalantly: "I am a well-known playboy in the capital. It is not surprising that I do all kinds of ridiculous things besides doing nothing. Fighting is a common occurrence. In my father's eyes, I am a useless waste. As long as I don't make a big mistake that will anger the heavens and the people, I can be a rich and idle person for the rest of my life."
Jian Yue looked at him dimly: "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
"Ah?" Ji Yunzhong didn't understand what she meant for a moment.
"Why do you deliberately act like a playboy?" Jian Yue hit the nail on the head.
Ji Yunzhong was startled, then smiled and said, "I am not interested in that position. I don't want other brothers to be suspicious of me. I hate killing people."
"But, you were born into the royal family, so you are destined to be involved. Aren't you helping the prince now?"
Ji Yunzhong lowered his eyes and said, "The successor of Nanchang State must be a benevolent monarch, so I was forced to take the position."
Jian Yue couldn't help but laugh, and comforted him: "You don't have to feel burdened. Each of us has our own mission and responsibility, some for everyone, some for the family, and some for ourselves. No matter how a person lives, finding the way that suits him best is happiness."
Ji Yunzhong's eyes sparkled, and he looked at Jian Yue eagerly: "Well said! After hearing what you said, I suddenly felt enlightened and relieved."
"Don't let those little guys affect your mood. Come on, I'll take you out to play. I know a lot of fun places."
Doctor Mao suddenly said from behind him: "Take it easy, kid. Don't lead my apprentice astray."
Ji Yunzhong rolled his eyes at him: "Your disciple has a good family background and can't be corrupted."
He learned the term "genongmiaohong" from Jian Yue.
Jian Yue was curious about the interesting places that Ji Yunzhong mentioned, so she followed him with Fu Yun.
Doctor Mao sighed softly.
He felt that this little disciple had too much on her mind, and she couldn't count on the affection of her family. She must be feeling more bitter than coptis root. If Ji Yunzhong could enlighten her, she would hopefully feel less depressed.
Ji Yunzhong took Jian Yue to the most famous Louwailou in Shangjing to taste delicious food. He went to the largest theater in Shangjing to watch a play. Of course, he went to the clothing, jewelry and cosmetics shops. He also went to the gambling house, where the playboys gathered.
Jian Yue looked at the three-story gambling house that occupied half of the street and felt mixed emotions.
Gambling is legal in this era, and the government will not intervene as long as no one is killed.
The VIP venue for the nobles and gentlemen is on the third floor. The third floor is the most luxuriously decorated, with private rooms one after another.
Ji Yunzhong took Jian Yue up to the third floor and met several young men and women in gorgeous clothes. Seeing Ji Yunzhong, one of them smiled and greeted him: "Fifth Prince, I haven't come to play for a long time. How come you are free today?"
Ji Yunzhong glanced at him and said calmly: "Bring your friends over to play a couple of games."
A woman behind Guo Xiao said with a smile: "Brother Yunzhong's friend looks unfamiliar. I wonder which family she is from?" However, the expression of another pretty woman next to her darkened slightly, and she looked at Jian Yue with hostility.
Ji Yunzhong introduced them to each other: "This is Princess Mingyue. This is Guo Xiao, the son of the Minister of War. This is Ji Yunyi, the daughter of Prince Xunyang, Princess Yunyi. This is Lu Dieyi, the daughter of Duke Lu, Princess Dieyi."
The others need no introduction because they do not hold enough importance in Ji Yun's heart.
Jian Yue was surprised: Why did she feel like the princess was like the cabbages on the street, meeting two of them at once?
Guo Xiao raised his eyebrows: "It turns out to be Princess Mingyue, nice to meet you!" He said nice to meet you, but he had a nonchalant look on his face.
Lu Dieyi said: "After not seeing you for a while, Brother Yunzhong has become much more patient. He didn't have the patience to take others out to play before." Her tone sounded a little sour.
Jian Yue looked at her. Lu Dieyi smiled at her, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Ji Yunzhong ignored her and waved his hand: "Go and do whatever you want, we'll go in first." Then he took the lead and walked forward.
Lu Dieyi glanced at Ji Yunyi. Ji Yunyi hurriedly said, "Brother Yunzhong, we are not busy. We haven't played together for a long time. Why don't we all play together?"
Guo Xiao also said: "That's right, without the Fifth Prince here, we all have no fun."
Several other young masters also echoed the sentiment.
Ji Yunzhong paused for a moment and said to Jian Yue: “If you don’t like crowds, don’t let them follow.”
Guo Xiao and others: ...
Is this the capricious, cold-hearted Fifth Prince? I feel like he has changed his mind.
Lu Dieyi's hands clenched unconsciously, his sharp nails digging into his palms, without him noticing.
Jian Yue was embarrassed. Wouldn't it be bad to ask for her opinion in front of so many people? If she said no, she would definitely offend this group of people. So, she smiled and said, "I have no objection to everyone having fun together, haha!" She secretly glared at Ji Yunzhong: Are you sure you are not deliberately trying to draw hatred from me?
In fact, Ji Yunzhong really didn't mean that. He knew Jian Yue usually liked quietness, and he was afraid that she would not be happy if there were too many people around.
A servant quickly pushed open the door of the room with the capital letter "壹" on the doorplate. After entering, he found that the room was very spacious. There was a square table in the middle of the room.
Ji Yunzhong sat in the seat facing the door and asked Jian Yue to sit on his left...
