Chapter 677 Similarity
Luo Jingshen's slightly frowned brows deepened.
As far as he knew, the Yongning Marquisate had fallen into poverty.
Ji Qingfeng's sudden accident made the already difficult situation of the Marquis' Mansion even worse.
I heard that they couldn't even afford to buy medicine for Ji Qingfeng, so how could Ji Nanchuan still have the leisure to come here to buy snacks?
Furthermore, most of the people who love to eat dim sum are women, and there is no hostess in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion except Ji Qingqing and Madam Meng.
Madam Ji is old and has bad teeth, so she can't chew the snacks.
Ji Qingqing is still in the prison cell of the Ministry of Justice and has not been released yet.
It couldn't be that Mrs. Meng wanted to have some snacks and asked Ji Nanchuan to buy them, right?
Even so, it's not his turn as a marquis to queue up and buy it himself, right?
You know, the dim sum at Bai Xiang Lou is not cheap.
Luo Jingshen's intuition told him that the person who could make Ji Nanchuan come to buy snacks in person must not be from Yongning Marquis Mansion.
He wondered in his heart, could it be that after he gave up on Ji Nanchuan, the other party found a new person to turn to?
An unspeakable emotion surged in Luo Jingshen's mind.
He couldn't tell what he felt, but he was certainly unhappy.
Half a month ago, Ji Nanchuan was still lurking everywhere, trying to curry favor with him like a dog.
How long has it been since then, and he already has a new person to curry favor with?
Considering that Luo Junhe's leg had recovered in recent days, Luo Jingshen couldn't help but feel alarmed.
Could it be that the person Ji Nanchuan is trying to curry favor with is Luo Junhe?
And the person who asked him to buy snacks was Ji Yuntang?
The more he thought about it, the more Luo Jingshen felt that this idea made sense.
Before Luo Junhe's leg healed, he was paralyzed in bed and unable to stand up, so the stewardship of the Ye Palace had to be handed over to Ji Yuntang.
Now that Luo Junhe's leg has healed, he will definitely take back the housekeeper power from Ji Yuntang.
No man will let a woman dominate him for a long time.
Luo Junhe might tolerate her for a while, but he would never tolerate her for a lifetime.
After all, Ji Yuntang is a woman, and her way of looking at things is still too simplistic.
And Luo Junhe must be thinking even further ahead.
Luo Jingshen just didn't believe that Luo Junhe would ignore the help from Ninghou Mansion.
Although the Yongning Marquis Mansion is not as good as before, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and they are still useful.
Furthermore, Ji Nanchuan is Ji Yuntang’s biological father. Even if the relationship between father and daughter is strained, what does it matter in the face of interests?
In Luo Jingshen's opinion, now that Luo Junhe's leg has healed, the first person he wants to win over is Ji Nanchuan.
And the more the other party tries to win him over, the more he wants to destroy.
He didn't want Luo Junhe to have any help from his side from the bottom of his heart.
Even if this person is the one he doesn't want.
Thinking of this, Luo Jingshen pulled out a hypocritical smile, and said to Ji Nanchuan:
"Today, Baixiang Tower has invited the famous Miss Ruyun to sing. I have asked my servants to book a private room. If you have time, why not go up with me and sit down and listen to the music."
Ji Nanchuan raised his eyes instantly and was slightly stunned. He looked at Luo Jingshen with surprise, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
Ji Qingqing had offended Luo Jingshen before, and no matter how he went to beg for mercy, the other party was unwilling to forgive them.
Luo Jingshen even threatened her to never appear in front of him again, otherwise she would not blame him for being ruthless.
Although Ji Nanchuan was unwilling, he did not dare to disobey Luo Jingshen.
In the days that followed, he tried his best to take a detour to avoid Luo Jingshen whether he was going to or leaving court.
It was such a surprise that we met at the entrance of Baixiang Tower today.
Ji Nanchuan didn't expect that Luo Jingshen would appear here.
When he wanted to avoid the other person, it was too late because Luo Jingshen had already seen him.
He could only bite the bullet and come forward to salute Luo Jingshen.
Ji Nanchuan originally thought that Luo Jingshen would be very disgusted when he saw him.
But he didn't expect that the other party would actually invite him to go up and listen to the music together.
For Ji Nanchuan, this was something he had been longing for. He was afraid that Luo Jingshen would go back on his word, so he agreed immediately.
"Of course I have time. Thank you, Your Highness."
He came here today, originally intending to buy some plum blossom pastry for Xia Chuhe, as this was her favorite snack before.
Ji Nanchuan thought that Xia Chuhe was soft-hearted, and maybe if he bought her something she liked and tried to please her a few more times, Xia Chuhe would agree to marry him.
Who would have thought that before I even bought the plum blossom pastry, Luo Jingshen would show up.
Isn't this a pleasant surprise for him?
Ji Nanchuan did not queue up to buy plum blossom pastry, but followed Luo Jingshen into Baixianglou.
He was taken directly by Luo Jingshen to a private room on the second floor.
Ji Nanchuan looked awkward, not knowing whether to stand or sit.
Luo Jingshen turned his head and saw him standing there nervously. He said, "When did Lord Ji become so reserved?"
"You don't have to be restrained in front of me. Just sit casually like before."
After hearing this, Ji Nanchuan moved and sat opposite Luo Jingshen.
However, his slightly trembling hands still revealed his nervousness.
Luo Jingshen poured a cup of tea, raised his eyebrows, and asked: "I haven't seen the Marquis for a while, has the Marquis blamed me?"
Ji Nanchuan hurriedly said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is very busy and cannot get away from dealing with so many government affairs."
"If you are willing to see me, it is my honor. If you are not willing to see me, then I will wait. How dare I blame His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Luo Jingshen burst into laughter when he heard this.
"I hope the Marquis doesn't blame me."
"I did feel resentful towards the Yongning Marquisate a few days ago because of the Second Miss Ji's matter."
"But after a while, I figured it out. The person who deceived me was Ji Qingqing, and she had nothing to do with the Marquis. I really shouldn't have taken my anger out on the Marquis."
"I have gone too far in this regard. I will drink a cup as an apology to the Marquis."
After he finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
Ji Nanchuan has known Luo Jingshen for such a long time, but has he ever seen him apologize to someone on his own initiative?
Now that the prince had taken the initiative to apologize to him, he was flattered but also a little elated.
Ji Nanchuan quickly picked up the wine glass on the table and said, "Your Highness, what you said really embarrasses me."
"I am also somewhat at fault for what happened to Qingqing. I listened to the Taoist's slander and replaced my daughter. I raised Qingqing as my own daughter for sixteen years."
"Over the years, her temper has become more and more spoiled by me and my wife, and she has done many unreasonable and wrong things."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince has been so tolerant of Qingqing. I am very grateful to him. But now she has gone further and further down the wrong path. Even I can't do anything about her."
