Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

No matter how many wrong things she did over the years, her father always protected her.

"Be careful out there. Old Five's reputation is completely ruined this time. You'll be entering the palace soon, so keep quiet for the next few days. Don't forget that you're a woman whose engagement has been broken off. If the emperor hadn't taken a liking to you and didn't despise your reputation, you'd probably never get married in this lifetime."

His daughter was already eighteen years old. When she was thirteen, she was betrothed to the then deceased prince. He originally thought it was a happy marriage.

I didn't expect that I would end up leaving home and falling from power, and even be charged with a crime.

If Ji Wanxing had not been the legitimate daughter and had not been carefully cultivated, he would have wanted to abandon her long ago.

When Ji Wanqing was brought in, she saw Ji Wanxing in the study, and she knew that she would have to take the blame again.

She bowed slightly and said, "My daughter greets father and elder sister."

Duke Ji raised his hand and said, "Alright, Qing'er has wronged you over the years, but you..."

"My daughter knows that I will leave the house tomorrow."

"Well, take that girl Green Willow with you."

"Yes, my daughter is resigning."

Ji Wanqing walked out of the door and angrily looked at Ji Wanxing who was standing there motionless.

No matter how many evil things Ji Wanxing did over the years, she was the one to take the blame, just because her concubine was once the lady's maid.

Also because her body shape is the most similar to Ji Wanxing.

She clearly didn't do anything wrong, but her bad reputation has already spread.

I looked up at the sky and felt a warmth in my eyes.

He shook his head, and then his face was replaced with his usual humble smile.

After a while, Duke Ji, who was still sitting in the study, heard the housekeeper come to report that the fifth young lady was beating the maid because she was upset outside.

The news spread like wildfire and soon reached outside the mansion.

"This is the last time." Duke Ji's cold voice fell, and Ji Wanxing was so scared that he trembled all over.

"Yes, dad, my daughter has remembered."

Duke Ji looked up at Ji Wanxing and saw that even though her hair had been combed, it still looked like it had been gnawed by a dog. He shook his head and said, "Tell the butler to go to the storehouse and get a bottle of good hair oil. Hunting day is coming soon, so don't let anyone notice anything unusual."

"My daughter understands, but Dad, those two..."

"I will take care of their affairs, you just stay in the mansion."

"Yes, my daughter is resigning."

After Ji Wanxing left, Duke Ji sent someone to gather all the servants that Ji Wanxing had taken out today.

After learning the reason, Duke Ji angrily threw the inkstone on the table.

"Idiot, Li Tianze has already arrived in the Northland. How could he appear here and cause such a scene? He is so stupid that he doesn't even know it."

If this happened to Ji Wanqing, she would never do such a stupid thing.

He knew that Ji Wanqing was smart over the years, but she had been burdened with a vicious reputation because of Ji Wanxing in her early years. Even if he wanted to promote Ji Wanqing now, he had no way to do so.

Duke Ji pinched his eyebrows in pain.

"Keep an eye on the Si Zhao Ju these two days. If they come out alone, you know what to do."

"Yes, sir."

***

The Tianzi room on the second floor of Sizhaoju.

"Who is Ji Wanqing?" Leng Youran, who had just returned from a big meal, asked while sitting at the table on the windowsill with his chin propped up.

"The fifth daughter of Duke Ji." Li Tianze knew about these things.

After all, Wanqing has a bad reputation at this age.

If he had not actually seen Ji Wanxing at the market today, he would have suspected that what happened today was done by Ji Wanqing.

After all, the rumors outside are very true.

"A concubine's daughter? No wonder. It seems your fiancée is not that good either." If I remember correctly, I seemed to have heard Hua Qinrou say before that Ji Wanxing was a lady from a famous family who never fought for anything.

Now it seems that the fifth young lady is the one!

Look, this is what happens when a man marries too many women. If it weren't for Ji Wanqing, Ji Wanxing's reputation would have been ruined by herself long ago.

"Not now, Youyou, please stop teasing me. I now realize how blind I was before. I was deceived by a woman like that. The late emperor did the same to me, marrying such a woman. Fortunately, our family is in trouble." Otherwise, if he married a woman like that, their family would never have peace.

A few days ago, his mother mentioned Ji Wanxing in front of him, and her tone was full of guilt, saying that she had wasted such a good girl.

Now he wished he could bring his mother here so she could take a good look at her. This was the good girl he was talking about.

Seeing his sincerity, Leng Youran couldn't help but ask curiously, "If leaving home hadn't been so difficult, would you really have married her?"

Li Tianze didn't hear any anger in her tone, so he said with relief, "If not, maybe. After all, he has been my fiancée for five years. I just don't know if I would have met you if not. If I had met you, what would my decision be? I can't say now."

He said this sincerely.

Originally, he didn't care much about matters between men and women, and once thought that he would just marry any woman regardless of her condition.

But since he met Leng You, he felt that his previous thoughts were a bit ridiculous.

If there is really no love between two people, there is really no way they can live together.

Even his previous idea of ​​just keeping a person in the backyard was wrong.

Of course, he only found out all this after meeting Leng Youran.

Leng Youran was not angry at his words.

How should I put it, if it weren't for her incident, no one would know what the capital is like now.

Maybe the Leng family and the Li family don’t have to go to the north now.

She was an accident, and since she was an accident, she couldn't force others to answer these unknown questions.

"You're being honest. Aren't you afraid that I'll get angry if you say that?" Hou Leng Youran deliberately put on a cold face when he said this.

Li Tianze was very nervous when he saw her like this.

He quickly moved the stool closer to her, his tone full of guilt as he said, "I'm sorry, Youyou. I know you might be unhappy with what I said, but I don't want to lie to you. I can only promise you that I have no second thoughts about you. I might have given in before, but after knowing you, I don't think so anymore. I just want to be with you for the rest of my life. If you're angry, you can hit me, but please believe me. Every word I say now comes from my heart. I, Li Tianze, swear to heaven that if I tell even one lie, let me..."

Before I could finish the rest of my words, I felt a pair of soft hands covering my mouth.

"I don't believe in men's oaths, but I'm not worried that you'll betray me. After all, you know me well. Even if you have second thoughts about me, I can find someone..."

Before she could finish her words, Li Tianze blocked her mouth forcefully.

It really got stuck in my mouth.
