When he returned to the princess' mansion, he was satisfied with his mischievous and naughty behavior. The sky had already darkened since the night before when he went to attend the Coming of Age Ceremony, and he stayed in the palace for an entire day and night. This made Ji Ang even more furious, thinking that he might be unable to hold back his flowery words and become the emperor's son-in-law.
As soon as he entered, An Xin ran over to him and told him, "Young Master, you're back. Duke is angry, please be careful!" Ordinary smiled and said, "I understand." As he spoke, he walked in.
The first was that in these two years, he had earned more than a billion gold coins. All of these were enough to buy a large amount of land to settle the poor and slaves, and the money he had spent on Ji Family was practically nothing at all. According to Old Buddha Ci Xi, this was called taking revenge on the outlaws! It was better to give someone else than a member of one's own family. This made Ji Ang very angry, and he felt that this was normal, but not normal.
Furthermore, what made Ji Ang angry was that many of the things that he saw as extremely powerful, were all passed down to the mercenaries who worked as guards. This not only made Ji Ang angry, but also made him a little angry, one had to know that all kinds of martial arts techniques were one of the life veins of every clan that was able to continue to develop and develop. I don't even teach these good things, how can you pass them down to some servants? Even if you want to pass them down to your family servants, you shouldn't give them different grades and ranks. Why don't you pass on all those servants in my residence to them?
Furthermore, the way he dealt with things made Ji Ang very angry, although he had the title of a Count on him, he had never treated himself as a noble. If only he was like this, then it would be fine, but what was even more infuriating was that he was disrespectful and disrespectful, the servants in his house dared to casually play around with him, and there was not much difference when eating, his entire family even gathered together. He even made a big round table that could spin around the place, and from then on it was impossible to differentiate between the masters and the servants, because of this, Ji Ang was ridiculed by many other nobles.
Furthermore, the problems of not being good at dealing with people, not knowing how to socialize, not knowing how to socialize, etc., etc., all these made Ji Ang uncomfortable. He also knew that there were some bad habits of his that were not good, and he was slowly correcting them, but they were difficult to change.
Ji Ang was angered to the point that his lungs were about to burst, he grinded his teeth in anger. He decided to teach Ordinary a lesson, to let him understand, his every move, was not only related to his own actions, but also the interests of the entire clan!
's wife frowned as she sat by his side. After seeing him, Ji Ang's face turned green, and the teeth in his mouth chomped loudly.
"Mom, dad, have you eaten yet? You're still awake? " Ordinary did not greet the two of them when he entered the room. Instead, he went over to grab a cup of tea and poured it for them. The servant girls at the side nearly laughed out loud when they heard it. No one expected General Tan to ask such a question, could it be that he did not see the change in Duke's facial features?
Liz almost broke out in laughter. She immediately snorted with a dark face: "Xiaofan, why did you not come back last night? Do you know how worried your father was? If you don't come back, why didn't you send someone to notify us? "
He said to his mother with a plain smile, "There are so many treasures in the treasury of the Emperor. I've already picked them all in a blur, and finally chose some precious ores with great difficulty." As he spoke, he took a sip of tea and said to a servant girl beside him, "Help me get some food. I'm a bit hungry." The servant girl probably went down. He found a stool to sit on, and revealed a slight smile on his face as he said to Ji Ang: "I'm sorry, but I'll have to trouble father to take care of this next time. You don't have to worry about me next time. I'm already 16 or 17 years old, so nothing will happen to me. "
Ji Ang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Ordinary had not done anything to the emperor's princess. He gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph! You still know that I'm your father? I thought you forgot! " As he looked at his expression, he felt extremely displeased. He thought to himself, "What are you doing?" I didn't get the slightest bit of light from your Ji Family, so don't keep using that ring of your Ji Family to trick me! If I could fucking pick a father, I'd definitely choose one that's so stupid as you! Look at your attitude towards me over the past two years. You don't have to be that far ahead, I'm your son, not your dog. Have you done your duty as a father before? I've grown so much, I'm afraid you don't even know how long and how wide I am!
The smile on his face faded as he said blandly, "You don't seem very happy. Just tell me what I did wrong!"
Ji Ang's eyes blazed: What's wrong? Don't you know something about yourself, eh? The past is too distant, let's not talk about it. Just now, you did not even know how to give your mother and me a bow before entering with big steps. "Even if he's just a commoner, he should pay his respects to his parents when he returns home!"
I said, "Didn't I say hello to you guys? What else do you want from me? Do I kneel and kowtow when I see you? Father, do you know what 'home' is? "Home is a relaxed harbor. After working hard outside for a whole day, disguising for a whole day, once we get home, I can take off my mask and reveal my true nature. If I go home, would I still be able to put on airs and not be tired?"
Ji Ang said angrily: "Wow! What a son you are! It looks like I don't have the qualifications to be your father! Even if you don't want me to, you should at least want the entire Ji Family to think of you, right? Just look at your actions last night, offending the young Mayor of the Thorn City for no reason at all. To make enemies for your family all over the place, you are harming your Ji Family! My Ji Family will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later. Look at what you've been doing all these years, ah! Have you contributed a bit to the Ji Family … "
In his rage, Ji Ang had destroyed all of his accumulated dissatisfaction with the ordinary people in the past two years, and after pointing at the ordinary person's nose and cursing wildly, he had debased the ordinary person to the point that it was not even worth a penny!
Liz, who was at the side, wanted to say something, but she shot her a look, meaning that it was not worth it for her to get into a conflict with him over me. 's relationship with ordinary people was not on good terms with them. All of this was because was too strong, his son overshadowed his father, and if he was not so capable, and if he was not stronger than Ji Ang by a large margin as a father, Ji Ang's attitude towards him might not have been like this.
It was precisely because everything about the ordinary person was much stronger than Ji Ang's that he was able to achieve such a feat. Forget about the martial skills, although the average person had helped him greatly, and Ji Ang's achievements to date, there was no need to talk about the average person's imagination, as all the servants, whether it was Peaceman or Adam, regarded the ordinary people as his loyal followers. Not to mention that Barton was willing to become his slave, which made him very confused.
When Ji Ang had finished speaking, he stood up and looked at him: "Master Father, have you finished speaking? "I'll be leaving after I finish speaking."
The moment Ji Ang heard Huo Teng, who had just calmed down, came back up, he slammed the table heavily and roared: Go down? Where are you going? Didn't you understand what I said just now? Tell me for yourself, what are you going to do? "
"Then what do you want me to do?"
Ji Ang clenched his teeth: "My plan? Good! Firstly, in the future, you have to change all your bad habits, don't look like a scoundrel all day, if people saw that you lost my identity as Ji Family, they would think that I, Ji Ang's son, was useless; secondly, you are not allowed to spend money randomly, although it is you who earn that money, but you have to know, your money does not represent yourself, but represents the Ji Family, just like how you bought a place for the poor, I am not opposed to it, but I am not against it, but what would the other nobles think, what would the other nobles think of this, what would the people think of you think of this? Do you want to go against all the nobles?
Third, in the future, all of the servants in the family will have to settle down, and don't act like their masters don't have masters. Their servants don't look like servants at all!" Fourth, don't be too arrogant. Humiliating a powerful family like you did last night will bring about a lot of trouble for the Ji family, and you can't do such a thing again. Also, bring that greatsword with you and ask Bu Fang right away, my Ji family is not lacking a sword!
Listening to Ji Ang talk about the things he said one by one, without saying anything else, from Ji Ang's point of view, what he said was not unreasonable. For example, when Bruto challenged him last night, he simply wanted to make use of his reputation, so that he could make use of him. It wasn't impossible for him to do so, but if it was another noble clan, then there was a high possibility that they would come to a tacit agreement with each other and make him owe him a favor. In addition, since he had stolen his sword, the other party would definitely not let him off so easily. This would bring him a lot of trouble in the future.
As he listened to Ji Ang's words and thought about his own matters, he felt that since his mother had already found his happiness and was about to give birth to her own son or daughter, she would be a meritorious general of the Ji Family in the future. He believed that she would be very happy in the future, as she had already fulfilled one of his two wishes to enter the Capital.
Besides, now that he was sixteen years old and having held the coming of age ceremony, he could be considered an adult. He should do what he liked and leave his mother. He couldn't live with his mother for the rest of his life, could he?
Ji Ang finished his sentence and coldly asked Xian Pingfan, "What I say may be a little harsh, but as a descendant of Ji Family, sometimes you have to sacrifice your own interests for the sake of the entire family!"
Pingfan nodded. "What you say makes sense. Allow me to think about it."
Ji Ang said angrily: "It's not that you need to be meticulous, it's just that you need to do it, otherwise … "Humph!"
After he finished listening, he suppressed the anger in his heart and replied, "Yes." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave when Ji Ang said again: "Stop! You must immediately bring that sword to apologize to Mr. Bruto! We'll talk about the rest later. " Ordinary nodded his head slightly and left without saying goodbye.
At this moment, Ji Ang's anger had dissipated by more than half, and finally, he was proud of himself in front of this bastard son of his. He felt proud of himself, but Madam Liz could see that Ordinary had decided something, so she knew what kind of temper her son had. When she saw that he had gone out, Madam Liz also hurriedly gave chase. After exiting the two gates, she called out to him, "Xiaofan, wait for mother."
He turned around and saw his mother rushing over to support her. "Mom, slow down. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Madam Liz looked carefully at the flat surface, she could not see any expression, but from his gaze, she knew that her son had made a decision. "Xiaofan, tell mom what you want to do now."
After thinking about it, he decided to change it to a more gentle method that Lady Liz could accept to announce her decision. Thus, he smiled blandly at Liz and said, "Mom, I have an idea to share with you. Look, although I am considered to be someone of Ji Family, I still gave the title of Ji Family to Ji Chu and the position of Patriarch to Ji Chu. But now, I can't even casually spend the money I earn. Moreover, based on my father's instructions, I'm afraid that he will use it for other purposes in the future. I feel that this is a little too unfair. "Now that I'm an adult, I can't let you take care of me for the rest of my life, so I'm prepared to have my own independent door to control my own life and live the life I want to live."
Liz sighed after thinking for awhile, and said: "Son, now that you have grown up, it's time for you to think about it. It used to be that your mother was a burden to you, but now that I have someone to rely on for the rest of my life, you can go and live in peace. Tomorrow, your mother will move back into Ji Family with your father, and leave this place to you."
After Ordinary heard this, he smiled and said, "Mom, you misunderstood! I don't mean to ask you to move away, and I don't mean not to come back! You are still living here, and this is your manor, and you know that I do not lack these things right now, no matter where I go, you are still my mother, but right now, I should have my own house and living quarters. This is just like the magical beasts in the forest, when small beasts grow up, they will always go and establish their own territory, not always living together with their mother! "
Liz laughed: "Mom understands, do whatever you want to do, don't worry about Mom. Mom understands, the more outstanding you are, the easier life for Mom here will be."
After Ordinary heard this, he praised, "Aiya, you're really something! "Mom, you have a lot of political brain right now. This really gave your son a fright."
"Your mother is not an idiot. After staying in the Foundation for so long and seeing so many dark sides of the world, she has learnt what she needs to learn!"
Ordinary nodded and let out a sigh of relief, "I am relieved now!" He then looked at Madam Liz's stomach and laughed, "It's about to be born, is it a little brother or sister?"
Liz's wife blushed and said, "It's a girl. She's going to be born in a month and you need to have more sisters. In the future, as your big brother, you have to take good care of her."
Ordinary laughed and said, "I will, I will." He felt a sense of warmth in his heart. Now that he had a mother, although that cheap father wouldn't make things difficult for him, but that brother's appearance wasn't bad. In the future, if he added another sister, he could enjoy the affection of a normal person.
After chatting with Mrs. Liz for a while, Ordinary went to find Pithman, who, upon seeing the latter, smiled and said, "Praise the God of Light, my dear young master. This time, your name is famous throughout the capital, and you have defeated a Golden Swordsman in a few moves.
He asked Peaceman: "What did the news in the palace say?"
Peaceman was startled for a moment, and then said hurriedly. "The Imperial Palace sent out news that the Empire's Princess's Coming of Age Ceremony was extremely successful, you displayed extraordinary brilliance at the banquet, and defeated a Golden Swordsman with a Divine Equipment, the Great Demonic Wind Sword in a few moves, and confiscated his great sword. The Emperor and the other ministers all agreed that you were the most dazzling star of the night, and specially allowed you to choose a treasure from the Imperial family's treasury, but there were no other treasures."
He frowned as he listened. The news of his assassination was not leaked out at all. Was it because the emperor gave the order to keep the noble children from spreading, or was it because the whole noble class was scheming against him?
Peaceman immediately asked: "Young Master, did something happen?" He then told Peaceman everything that happened last night in detail. After hearing it, Peaceman turned pale with fright, "God of Light, which bastard invited Hunter to kill you?!"
"Alright, we'll talk about this later. Now let's talk about something else, I plan to separate myself from the Ji Family!" He then explained his thoughts to Peaceman.
After Peaceman heard this, he laughed bitterly, "Young Master, do you know what the three of us wanted to tell you yesterday? It's because Young Master Ji Chu and your other brothers have never gotten the chance to talk to you about this matter. Actually, we had wanted to advise you to get rid of the relationship between you and Ji Family since the day you entered our clan line, not only were we unable to get any benefits, we were even treated in every direction. Especially Duke Ji Ang, who always wanted to put his hands in our plans, this made us feel that it was very difficult, so we were just about to discuss it with you.
After he finished listening, he felt extremely displeased, saying, "To think that something like this has happened. It seems like he has been plotting against me since long ago!" Peaceman laughed: "This is no wonder, for Ji Family, for Ji Chu, if there is an uncontrollable, yet very powerful existence like you, it would not be easy for Ji Chu to take over the Ji Family in the future, even if you did not say anything else, other people would still gossip about it." When Ordinary heard this, his heart suddenly trembled. He thought to himself, "How could I have missed him out!"
