WFWC Chapter 68

The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 68: There Are Melons To Eat During The Shangsi Festival Tonight

Tonight’s Shangsi Festival has even more people coming than on New Year’s Eve.

Luxurious carriages came one after another.

On the bank of the moat, there were many pleasure boats. The largest one belonged to the royal family, and the Crown prince was standing on the deck of the pleasure boat with Bei Hengjin.

Bei Hengjin stretched his neck to look at the other side of the river, which was already crowded with people releasing river lanterns, each with blessings written on it.

The Crown prince sensed Bei Hengjin’s anxiety and comforted him, “Don’t worry, thelittle one from the Ji family will definitely come.”

Ji Hua did come, but she didn’t come this way. Instead, she was attracted by the strange things along the way.

[Silly Second Brother, that clay figurine is beautiful, go make one, please. ]

Ji Linfeng couldn’t control Ji Hua, so he said to Madam Ji behind him with a surprised look on his face: “Mother, I saw that the clay figurine is well made, how about asking him to make one for sister?”

“Okay.” Mrs. Ji certainly also heard Ji Hua’s thoughts and cooperated with Ji Linfeng.

Lord Ji looked around vigilantly, fearing that someone would bump into his precious daughter.

Ji Yushu was pushed by Zuo Tong.

The old clay figurine maker’s craftsmanship is very good. In just a few strokes, he made a chubby Ji Hua. So cute.

Ji Hua had a great time.

Not long after walking, Ji Hua’s attention was attracted by the roadside circus.

How could Ji Linfeng not understand her? He hugged her and squeezed into the circle without waiting for her to speak.

“Good.”

The jugglers were performing a chest-breaking stone show, which drew applause. Ji Linfeng also gave them two taels of silver.

“Let’s go, let’s go release river lanterns.” Ji Linfeng squeezed out of the circle holding the cute Ji Hua, and the people behind him followed reluctantly.

When passing by a meat stall, everyone saw the butcher beating his wife.

The air was thick with the smell of alcohol.

Ji Hua recognized the butcher who sold meat. He turned out to be the alcoholic butcher. His wife was beaten to death in this way.

[It’s him, the butcher. Second brother, stop him! He will beat the woman to death.]

Ji Huan kept kicking her short legs, her face full of anger.

Before Ji Linfeng could pass Ji Hua on, Lord Ji stepped forward to dissuade him: “What are you doing? Are you still a man if you bully a weak woman under the emperor’s feet?”

The butcher saw someone meddling in other people’s business, and he stood unsteadily and yelled at Lord Ji: “I beat my own woman, what’s it to you? Get out of here!” Then he pushed Lord Ji.

The butcher was a big, strong man with a face full of flesh. He was not a good man at first glance. When Lord Ji thought about the Qin family handing his precious daughter over to such a man to raise, he was so angry that his heart ached.

“This matter today will be under the jurisdiction of this Marquis.” Marquis Ji selfishly punched the butcher in the face, causing the latter to fall backwards to the ground.

Seeing this, the woman threw herself on the man and begged Lord Ji: “Sir, please stop beating him. If you beat him to death, how can I, a woman, live?”

Lord Ji glared at the woman with disappointment but said nothing.

Ji Hua also knew that most women of this era depended on men for survival. If the butcher died, she would become a widow.

After all, the world is too harsh on women.

Lord Ji turned around and was about to leave, but the butcher suddenly stood up, raised the butcher knife on the chopping board and rushed towards Lord Ji fiercely.

[Careful!!]

Ji Hua’s face turned pale with fright.

How could Ji Linfeng let him hurt Lord Ji? He turned around and kicked the man away, hitting him on the door and spitting out blood. He was superb. The city guards rushed over after hearing the noise, and when they saw Lord Ji, they saluted with their fists: “Lord Marquis, what happened?”

Lord Ji said with a sullen face: “This man has no respect for the law and regards human life as worthless. Take him back and interrogate him thoroughly.”

“Yes sir.”

The man was taken away, and the woman was so scared that she shrank into a corner and dared not speak anymore.

Ji Hua just felt very happy.

She was in a good mood and was carried away by Mrs. Ji.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her father throwing a purse to the woman. The woman looked at him for a long time with tears on her face.

Ji Hua smiled sweetly at her and said silently, “Leave quickly, go far away, and start a small business to support yourself. It’s better than being beaten by a man.”

On the first day that little Ji Hua was brought to her home, the woman loved her very much. If she had not been beaten to death by the butcher, she would have loved little Ji Hua very much.

In this life, you should leave, go far away, and never come back.

The woman stared blankly at Ji Hua’s smiling face. There seemed to be a voice deep in her heart telling her: Live well, you can live a colorful life without a man, don’t care about the world’s eyes.

The group followed the crowd towards the moat, completely unaware that three killers were following them a few meters behind them.

In the dark, when An Ying saw Ji Linfeng’s face clearly, he frowned fiercely: “This man really looks very similar to that kid An Yan.”

“Pavilion Master, An Yan is missing now, but he had been hiding in the Ji Mansion before. There is no guarantee that he would hide the book in the Ji family. If that person knew that our book was lost, no one would be able to withstand his wrath.”

“So, before that, we must find the booklet. Now it seems that the Ji family has not succeeded yet. Otherwise, the Ji family would not be able to remain so patient.” Dark Eagle said after careful consideration.

The subordinate said again: “Master, is it possible that this Ji Linfeng is An Yan, and he deliberately disguised himself as him in order to avoid being found by us?”

“Whether it is true or not, we’ll know after a few tries.” After saying that, Dark Eagle prepared to test Ji Linfeng himself.

But at this moment, someone called Ji Linfeng. “Brother Linfeng.”

Everyone in the Ji family turned around and was surprised to see that it was Jun Fu. Then the five members of the Ji family looked behind him at the same time and saw Duanmu Yi wearing a veil.

A trace of panic flashed across the latter’s face under the veil, as if she didn’t expect to meet the Ji family here.

[It’s my second sister-in-law. That’s great. That’s great. I finally met my second sister-in-law. The Ji family must quickly propose marriage to the Duanmu family. If we are late, someone else will get there first.]

Thinking of this, Ji Hua suddenly thought of a more important person, that is the second princess Bei Hengjiao.

[In addition to Wu Zike, there is also the second princess Bei Hengjiao. Now that I think about it, I finally understand the intention of the look in Emperor Yu’s eyes when he looked at my second brother on the night of the celebration banquet. The Ji family is too ostentatious now, which makes Emperor Yu wary, so he starts to set his sights on his second brother who is still healthy. ]

[Bei Hengjiao came of age in January this year. Her wish at the ceremony was to marry a man of her dreams. In the end, she chose her second brother under the suggestion of Emperor Yu.]

[Since ancient times, in order to prevent the monopoly of power by relatives, those who were chosen as the son-in-law of the emperor could not hold important positions in the court. In a peaceful and prosperous era, it is even more impossible to need too many generals. ]

[But later, the Ji family chose Duanmu Yi before the royal family did. Emperor Yu thought that Duanmu Xiong was just a small minister and did not pose much of a threat, so he agreed to the marriage. The second princess thought that the Ji family had slapped her in the face, so she tried every means to plot against her second brother.]

The few people who heard Ji Hua’s inner thoughts were upset, but they did not show it at this time. They came forward and greeted Jun Fu and Duan Muyi warmly.

“Greetings, Lord Marquis, Madam, the Eldest Young Master, and the Second Young Master.” Duanmu Yi bowed to everyone one by one.

Ji Linfeng chuckled, and just as his younger sister said, she was a well-educated and well-mannered person.

“Since we have met, let’s go together, Miss Duanmu.” Mrs. Ji invited Duanmu Yi.

Duanmu Yi’s face hidden under the veil was full of shyness, and she nodded in agreement.

Recently, she was upset about the Wu family’s affairs, and Jun Fu happened to be going out, so she also wanted to go out and relax. Unexpectedly, she met the Ji family.

This should be considered fate, right?!
