"Are you not leaving yet?" Ji Shichen said in a cold voice.

The coachman hesitated and said nothing. He looked at Ji Shifeng, who was standing in front of the carriage in tattered clothes. He lowered his head and knelt on his knees.

"Dad and Mom, I am an unfilial son." Ji Shifeng kowtowed solemnly on the ground. He looked much thinner than before and his face was haggard and worn.

Hearing the voice, Su Yunzhu and the others' faces darkened.

The curtains of the two carriages in front and behind were raised at the same time, and Huo Yudi was in the carriage at the back.

Su Yunzhu looked at Ji Shifeng and said calmly, "Why is it you? Aren't you in the palace?"

No, I didn’t see it at the palace just now.

But Su Yunzhu had already said it and was too lazy to correct it.

Ji Shifeng lowered his head, and said with an uncontrollable sadness, "I have, and I shouldn't have returned to the Marquis' Mansion."

"I know I'm sorry to Yudi, and even more sorry to you."

"After I left home, I became more and more uneasy, but now I'm used to it."

"I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just ask for a chance to make amends!"

"Yudi, did you hear me? I am sorry for you, please don't forgive me, I deserve it, I am not worthy of you."

"You are very good. The Huo family and the Ji family are a good match. It is me who is unlucky."

"You deserve better, Dad and Mom, take care of yourselves. I feel relieved to have her by your side."

"No matter what happens to me or what I do from now on, it has nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion!"

"Goodbye, Mom and Dad!"

Ji Shifeng stood up and walked away with a dejected look on his face.

There was no chance for Su Yunzhu and the others to speak!

Su Yunzhu was stunned.

This cheap son stopped me just to say these?

But they were not going to take him home, they just wanted to help Yan Wei find him.

Ji Shichen began to stare at Ji Shifeng's every move with cold eyes. When he saw him get up and leave, his brows suddenly relaxed.

This rebellious son is quite responsible and knows he is not worthy!

Ji Shichen pulled down the curtain and said, "Let's go!"

The groom continued on his journey.

"Madam, since he has chosen to go outside, it has nothing to do with us. Don't worry too much."

"He's a man, he'll take care of it himself."

"Even if he died because of this, it was his own fate."

Ji Shichen spoke in a flat tone, as if he was talking about an irrelevant person.

Su Yunzhu nodded but did not respond.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Su Yunzhu found an excuse to come to Huo Yudi's yard to talk.

"Yudi, did you see it on the way back?"

"Yeah." Huo Yudi's face was calm.

"So what do you think?" Su Yunzhu asked worriedly, with a slightly nervous look on her face.

Logically speaking, Ji Shifeng wouldn't change so quickly.

After all, he didn't do anything, and there was no way Huo Yudi would agree!

So Su Yunzhu tried to sound out the situation first to see what her daughter-in-law thought.

Good to plan for the next step!

Huo Yudi looked at her nervous yet slightly expectant eyes and said, "The prince made his own choice. I have nothing to say about it."

"I hope he won't cause any trouble to the Marquis's Mansion."

After hearing this, Su Yunzhu couldn't help but smile. She reached out and held her wrist and said, "I'm glad you think so. Go to bed early."

As soon as Su Yunzhu walked out of the yard, she saw Ji Shichen who was waiting for her.

He strode forward and put his arm around her waist, and said gently, "Madam, what are you talking about with Yudi?"

"We didn't talk about anything." Su Yunzhu said calmly.

As they walked back to the East Garden together, many servants greeted them and bowed to them.

"Really? But I know that ever since Shi Feng wanted to take a concubine, you have been obsessed with Yu Di."

"It's true that she was born in the General's Mansion, but I hope you can be yourself and not go against your heart."

"Just tell me if you have any difficulties." Ji Shichen looked at her sincerely.

Su Yunzhu raised her eyes to meet his deep and bottomless eyes and said, "It's not difficult."

Despite this, Ji Shichen still saw through her.

He raised his hand to hold her cheek and said seriously, "Don't be so stubborn."

Su Yunzhu smiled, "Really not, Yu Di is so nice!"

The two were in front of the East Garden Gate, and Ji Shichen waved his hand to disperse the servants around them.

He pulled her into the master bedroom and sat down, saying, "You can tell me now."

Su Yunzhu looked around the room and saw that they were the only two people there.

Su Yunzhu said, "Although Yu Di came from the Huo family with a mission, she has no selfish motives in the Marquis' Mansion and takes care of trivial matters everywhere."

Ji Shichen looked at her and said, "That's right, but things are unpredictable. We should be careful. But don't worry too much about her. I'm here."

Seeing this, Su Yunzhu immediately said, "I'm not worried!"

"really?"

Su Yunzhu nodded, and the two of them started tickling each other with a smile.

Behind the seemingly calm surface, one is always on guard against everything in the outside world!

Hearing the noise coming from the East Garden, Huo Yudi fell into deep thought.

Ji Shifeng...

It seems that the Marquisate has no active intention towards the heir and is not a place to harbor conspiracies.

Huo Yudi felt relieved and went into the house to rest.

After Ji Shifeng escaped, he returned to the old alley in the north city.

It was raining lightly, and the ground he stepped on was splashed with mud.

When he saw the familiar door of the house, Ji Shifeng walked in quickly!

"I come back.

Before he could finish his words, the room felt empty.

Ji Shifeng sat down alone to rest for a while, then started to clean up the place, learning to take the initiative to do the cleaning.

Ji Shifeng had gotten used to being scolded by Zhang every two or three times while living under someone else's roof these days. He guessed that they were in a depressed mood as they were preparing for the funeral today.

Ji Shifeng cooked the brown rice in the bucket, stir-fried two eggs and some vegetables from the backyard with salt. When the two vegetable dishes and a soup were served, footsteps were heard outside the door!

Yan Huaizhu came in first. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Ji Shifeng, but he didn't react and found a place to sit down.

Yan Xuan, Zhang, and Yan Juan all had sad faces and looked listless.

Life must go on.

Only Yan Wei with red eyes appeared at the end, and was surprised to see Ji Shifeng!

"Brother Xiaofeng, why are you back?"

Missing for a day and a night.

On the way back, Yan Wei told A Niang and the others, but there was no reaction. She was ready to be sad in silence.

Unexpectedly, Ji Shifeng came back by himself!

"Well, you all must be tired, sit down and eat." Ji Shifeng waved his hand, rubbing his hands aside, looking helpless.

Yan Xuan glanced at him blankly and sat down, and so did Yan Juan.

Only Zhang looked at the food on the table and asked in surprise, "You made this?"

Ji Shifeng nodded, which immediately caused Zhang to scold him angrily, "Are you crazy? I carefully considered the ingredients, how could I bear to put so much!"

"You cooked so much rice and even made eggs! You made so many vegetables, but they grow so slowly. What are we going to eat tomorrow?"

"Don't you know what season it is now, autumn or winter? Do you have a brain?"

Faced with Zhang's scolding, Ji Shifeng was stunned for a moment.

He didn't think too much about it. He just followed Zhang's example because he had seen her do that in the past.

Yan Huaizhu rolled his eyes after listening to it, then picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, and spat it out with a cry!

"It's so salty!" Yan Huaizhu said in shock.
