Hidden in the court

The story began an hour ago. Rowling, who had just been imprisoned, was scratching the table out of boredom.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

After hearing a few dog barkings, Rowling turned around and saw the open window and Ji Mingshang climbing in.

"Why are you here again? Get out now, my dad is really mad this time, if you make him angry again, I'll be dead."

As she said this, Rowling tried to push Ji Mingshang out.

Ji Mingshang stood still and took out two cakes from his arms.

He looked at Rowling with a look of grievance and tears in his eyes.

"You've been locked up since I came back. Haven't you eaten yet? Are you hungry? I brought this specially for you because I was afraid you would be hungry... I didn't expect you to chase me away. In that case, I'll leave..."

That expression and that tone can make anyone who hears it sad and anyone who sees it cry.

Anyway, Rowling was a little at a loss. Looking at Ji Mingshang's face and the two pancakes in front of her, she suddenly felt a little ashamed.

Really, even if I was afraid of my dad, I shouldn't have pushed him. He just came to bring me food, how could I do this?

Ji Mingshang looked at Luo Lin who was looking down and smiled secretly. He just found out about the meal Luo Wei prepared for Luo Lin, so he decided to take advantage of it.

If Luo Lin knew that her father prepared food for her, she would not be able to prepare even a full banquet, let alone two sesame cakes.

"Then how about I take you out for dinner? Two sesame cakes are indeed a bit shabby." Ji Mingshang looked at Luo Lin eagerly, showing his sincerity.

Rowling shook her head. "I'm still under house arrest. I don't want to make Dad angry."

After hearing what Rowling said, Ji Mingshang once again tried hard to squeeze out two drops of "cat urine".

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on taking you out to play, my father-in-law wouldn't have..."

At this moment, Luo Lin couldn't react at all. Facing Ji Mingshang's flawed words, she actually believed them.

"It's not your fault. My father is prejudiced against you. He's really unreasonable. He's so old, how can he be so unreasonable?"

Luo Lin took Ji Mingshang's hand and continued to comfort him, "It's okay. I know what kind of person you are. Have you not eaten yet? Come on, I'll go out to eat with you."

Hearing this, Ji Mingshang sniffed and said in a teasing voice: "Lin'er, you are so nice."

After sending Luo Lin out of the window, Ji Mingshang turned around and left a note on the table...

Lowe waited by the wall for about a quarter of an hour before he saw two figures straddling the wall.

Ji Mingshang was the first to climb in and stretched out his hand to help Luo Lin down.

"Snapped--"

A crisp sound was heard, and Lowe was seen standing not far away with a whip in his hand.

"Well, father-in-law, please listen to my explanation..."

Lowe ignored him and pointed at Rowling who was still lying on the wall.

"Come down and eat."

Hearing this, Ji Mingshang wanted to reach out to help Luo Lin take her down, but when he had only stretched out his hand halfway, he was stopped by Luo Wei.

"Don't move!"

At this moment, Luo Lin couldn't get down, nor did she dare to move. The three of them just stood there in a stalemate, staring at each other.

The commotion here also attracted Mrs. Luo. She knew what had happened by looking at the postures of these three people.

He immediately stepped forward and rescued his daughter from the wall.

"Take her to dinner, and after dinner go to the main hall to wait for the family law."

Luo Lin glanced at Ji Mingshang at this moment, and said timidly: "I'm full."

"Why don't you go to the main hall and kneel down!"

After being yelled at by Lowe, Rowling was also frightened and immediately went to the main hall and knelt down.

Now the only ones left here are Lowe and Ji Mingshang, his father-in-law.

Lowe raised the whip in his hand and asked slowly, "What do you want?"

Ji Mingshang replied: "Uncle, my father will be able to return to Beijing in a few days..."

"Snapped--"

Lowe whipped him without hesitation, and Ji Mingshang immediately stepped back to avoid the blow.

"Don't think that I won't hit you just because your father is Ji Liancheng. Today I don't care who your father is. If you answer me honestly, I won't hit you."

Ji Mingshang immediately became timid and just answered the question.

"What exactly do you want?" Lowe asked again.

"It's nothing. Your Majesty has granted me the marriage. I just want to fulfill my duties as a husband."

"Snapped--"

Ji Mingshang was caught off guard by this attack and failed to dodge it completely, and was hit on the calf.

"Damn, didn't we agree not to fight?"

"You two haven't gotten married yet."

"It's only a matter of time..."

Ji Mingshang wanted to continue explaining, but a look from Lowe made him swallow his words back.

"Let me ask you again, how do you prove your feelings for my daughter?"

When Lowe asked this question, he bit the three words "my daughter" so hard that his teeth almost broke.

Ji Mingshang knew that he could no longer make jokes, and faced his father-in-law, a "daughter slave", in court. If he still didn't behave himself, he might be beaten to death, and his wife would definitely be in danger.

At this moment, Ji Mingshang was extremely serious. He took two steps forward and looked directly into his father-in-law's eyes.

"Although I am not serious with others, I am sincere to Lin'er. In the past three years, I have never let Lin'er suffer any injustice.

On the contrary, although you care about your daughter, you are busy with official business and you do things without her knowing, which leads to a deep misunderstanding between father and daughter..."

"Snapped--"

There was another crisp sound. Because the distance was too close, Ji Mingshang had no way to avoid it and was hit hard by the whip.

"It's not your turn to teach me a lesson. You didn't even mention how you made my daughter sad three years ago! I'll just use this whip as interest for Lin'er."

Ji Mingshang felt a burning pain in his chest after being hit, but he still heard the hidden meaning in the words, which was that this matter would be slow.

"Let me ask you another question. Have you ever done anything inappropriate to Lin'er?"

"Yes, I don't remember, so it should be no."

While saying this, I was thinking in my heart that it should be fine to kiss, hug and lift her up high.

"Snapped--"

Another whip fell, and Ji Mingshang howled.

"Ow—"

"Do you think I will believe your lies? I don't think it's unfair for me to whip you like this."

Ji Mingshang is convinced. If you want to hit me, just say so.

Looking at Ji Mingshang in front of him, Luo Wei spoke again: "One last question. If I submit a petition to His Majesty to request the cancellation of the engagement, what will you do?"

Ji Mingshang lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and replied:

"By then, if Lin'er is willing, I will take her far away, live in seclusion in the mountains, live like a wandering cloud and wild crane, and stay with her forever. But, by then, I'm afraid it will be hard for the daughter of the prime minister. She will have to eat coarse food and work hard."

"Snapped--"

"You dare to threaten me?"

Ji Mingshang was hit again and was sure that his father-in-law was coming for him.

Luo Wei stood there and said to Ji Mingshang, "You have angered me three times today. Now I will whip you three times, and we are even. I hope you remember what I said today. Go away."
