Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Ji Dahai had always felt that marrying into the Cheng family was marrying above his station, and now that he had taken the initiative to approach the man and expressed his wish to marry his daughter to him as soon as possible, he felt even more ashamed and embarrassed.

Fortunately, the Cheng family is also a down-to-earth family. Since they already know the truth and have made a decision, they naturally will not deliberately make things difficult for Ji Dahai.

That night, the two parents had a heart-to-heart talk about their two children's marriage.

The Cheng family gave the promise that the Ji family wanted most.

The Cheng family will return to Beijing after arranging the wedding of Deng Xiong and Ji Mingzhu.

Ji Dahai also stated that he would do his best to marry Ji Mingzhu to the Cheng family in a grand manner.

Tomorrow is the day when the results of the provincial examination will be announced. Ji Dahai is touched and grateful that the Cheng family is willing to take the time and energy to seriously discuss the marriage of their two children with him at this time, but he is also extremely embarrassed.

"It's all my Ji family's fault for the sudden change. I feel really guilty for bothering you for so long tonight. Thank you for your understanding and tolerance!"

Facing Old Lady Lin and Mr. and Mrs. Cheng Daniu, Ji Dahai bowed solemnly.

It is an apology and also a thank you.

"You absolutely can't do that!" Cheng Daniu quickly stepped forward and helped Ji Dahai up with a firm attitude: "This is all for the children. As long as the two children are fine, we as parents will cooperate in any way we can!"

"Yes, it's nothing more than bringing forward the marriage of the two children. It will happen sooner or later anyway. Lord Ji, there is really no need to do this." Wang also stepped forward to comfort Ji Dahai.

Ji Dahai looked at Cheng Daniu and Wang, who had sincere expressions, and then at Old Lady Lin, who was sitting beside them with a kind expression. His emotions, which had been able to remain stable, suddenly became a little uncontrollable.

"You all in the Cheng family are all good people..." Ji Dahai sniffed, his eyes reddened: "Now that Mingzhu is marrying into the Cheng family, I... I feel relieved!"

As parents, Cheng Daniu and Wang felt indescribable sadness when they saw Ji Dahai like this.

Again, it’s all for the children.

"Hey!" Old Lady Lin patted her thigh lightly and said with a smile: "I like what Lord Ji said. We in the Cheng family are indeed people with conscience. You can rest assured when Mingzhu marries you! We will never let her suffer any grievances!"

I will never let her suffer any injustice.

Hearing what Old Lady Lin said, Ji Dahai's nose felt even more sour.

His Mingzhu had suffered too much injustice at home.

Ji Dahai took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and said in a hoarse voice:

"With the old lady's words, I really have nothing to worry about.

I've been bothering you for too long tonight, so I'll take my leave now.

The results of the provincial examination will be announced tomorrow. I would like to congratulate Marquis Zhaoping in advance on being on the list!"

After saying that, Ji Dahai bowed slightly and was about to turn around and leave.

Just then, Old Lady Lin called him.

Facing Ji Dahai's puzzled gaze, Old Lady Lin rubbed her folded hands uncomfortably and cleared her throat:

“There are some things I’m not qualified to say, and if I say them I’m afraid I’ll annoy people.

But today, I am taking advantage of my age and am shamelessly saying a few more words. "

Ji Dahai had a premonition of what Old Lady Lin was going to say, but he did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he sat down again with a respectful expression, pretending to listen attentively.

Cheng Daniu and Wang looked at each other, then they quietly went out in silence.

Only Old Lady Lin and Ji Dahai were left in the hall.

Old Mrs. Lin sighed: "You should have guessed what I want to say to you, right?"

Ji Dahai nodded and replied honestly: "It has something to do with Mingzhu's mother."

"Yes, it's related to Mingzhu's mother." Old Mrs. Lin changed her sitting position so that she faced Ji Dahai to make the two of them appear closer.

"As a person half buried in the ground, I can understand what Mingzhu's mother thinks of Mingzhu.

How can a mother not love her own child? Mingzhu's mother must also love Mingzhu.

But there are too many things mixed in this love, which makes her unable to face Mingzhu like an ordinary mother. She always treats Mingzhu coldly and makes sarcastic remarks to Mingzhu from time to time. Is that right? "

"Yes." Ji Dahai nodded heavily: "Old Madam, you are right."

"If Mingzhu was her only child, it would be fine if she treated Mingzhu like this.

It would be fine if she had more than one child, Mingzhu, but treated all of them this way.

But she was a competent and loving mother to Mingzhu's twin brother and sister."

Old Lady Lin folded her hands on her thighs and stared at Ji Dahai with her eyes as sharp as torches: "You have read so many books and served as an official for so many years. It is impossible that you don't know how much harm Mingzhu's mother's differential treatment will bring to Mingzhu and how much grievance Mingzhu will suffer."

Ji Dahai nodded with difficulty.

"Mingzhu always looks cheerful, as if she has no worries at all. Do you think she is really happy?"

Ji Dahai shook his head, his voice was hoarse: "No..."

"Wrong!" Old Lady Lin interrupted Ji Dahai directly and said firmly: "Mingzhu is really happy!"

Ok? ? ?

Ji Dahai didn't care about being sad.

He was a little confused.

"Master Ji, I remember when Mingzhu first came home, she said that her mother didn't care much about her and that she liked her younger sister and brother more.

When saying this, Mingzhu acted heartless and didn't look sad at all.

To put it bluntly, with Mingzhu's brain, if she is sad, she can't pretend to be happy. "

Ji Dahai looked at Old Lady Lin with confusion, waiting for her next words.

"Mingzhu's mother really made Mingzhu unhappy this time."

When Mrs. Lin finished speaking, you could hear a pin drop in the hall.

Ji Dahai opened and closed his mouth. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

"I heard that Mingzhu's brothers and sisters are quite caring towards Mingzhu."

Talking about his twins, Ji Dahai unconsciously put on a loving smile: "Yes, both children are good."

Old Mrs. Lin glanced at the smile on Ji Dahai's face.

Somewhat glaring.

When this man mentioned his eldest daughter, he would sigh, frown, and you could see that he loved her, but he rarely smiled.

Old Mrs. Lin suddenly understood why Cheng Wan had said before that she should just talk about the matter at hand with Ji Dahai and there was no need to extend the topic to Mrs. Ji.

Cheng Wan had long seen through that the root cause of the Ji family and Ji Mingzhu's incident was not just Mrs. Ji's.

Old Lady Lin lost the desire to continue talking to Ji Dahai, and said expressionlessly: "Go back and persuade Mingzhu's mother to be nicer to Mingzhu before she marries into the Cheng family, and stop giving her a bad face all the time."

Ji Dahai always felt that Old Lady Lin should have something else to say to him, but after saying this, Old Lady Lin said nothing more.

"Yes, I will go back and persuade Mingzhu's mother."

Ji Dahai made a solemn statement.
