C400 With such deep feelings who will return the favor

Ji Chongde also came out of some sort of reminiscence, and looked back at him. After a long while, his tone of voice could not hide the excitement as he replied with a few words.

Ji Chenxi did not carefully ponder over Ji Chongde's feelings at the moment. After receiving permission, he quickly hugged Gu Rou, and looked towards Fourth Uncle Ji and her, expressing his gratitude for their help. When his eyes inadvertently landed on Ji Zijie, he paused for a moment.

He and he had been fighting in the dark for so many years, and both wanted the other to die. Who knew that one day, they would stand on the same front and protect the same person because of something?

Ji Zijie, no matter what, I have to thank you for helping me out earlier. If you lose in the future, I will spare your life.

After Ji Chenxi and Gu Rou left, the bustling scene gradually quietened down. After a while, Fourth Uncle Ji bade farewell to Ji Chongde and left with his family.

Looking at the nanny bodyguards who were secretly watching the show, Liang Hui's expression suddenly turned serious. He shouted at them to spread out and do whatever they had to do.

In the end, they were the only ones left in the large side palace.

Liang Hui scolded Ji Zijie once again. He even complained to Ji Guokun, who had not made a sound all this while, that if he had shown his face just now, he would not have caused his son to lose his mind and make a fool of himself.

Actually, the relationship between Liang Hui and Ji Guokun might not be that good either. Ji Guokun had also been involved in some romantic affairs outside, and Liang Hui had long been holding back his grievances and venting them out. Later on, he had even blamed it on Ji Ziqian to scold Mu Qianyi for not being educated and raising a wolf cub to harm himself and others.

Mu Caiyi knew that she was in the wrong, and was afraid that if she continued to cause trouble, the fire would spread to her own side. Thus, she said piously to Mu Wanrong, "Aunt, let's go back first, I'll bring Qian to apologize to you and uncle tomorrow."

Liang Hui did not stop there and continued to cause a ruckus. Ji Chongde was annoyed by the commotion as he looked back and forth between the crowd before returning to the main hall.

The amount of people present lessened, and the atmosphere became even colder. Mu Wanrong thoughtfully watched Ji Chongde as she thought about this, until his figure disappeared inside the main hall's gate. Only then did she slowly retract her gaze and turn her attention back to Ji Zijie.

Her tone was not as angry as before, but it was still cold and harsh as she said, "Go to the ancestral hall and kneel for me tonight, then figure out your future path!"

Finished speaking, he ignored the various reactions of the crowd and left with the support of the Aunt Fang.

Even though Liang Hui was very angry just now, he had merely taught her a lesson. He had always doted on his son, and upon seeing the old granny's punishment, he no longer cared about being angry.

All these years, the old granny had loved Zi Jie as much as she did, and she had never loudly rebuked his. Now, she actually made Zi Jie go to the ancestral hall and kneel before the ancestors one night, what did the old granny mean? Would the old granny still value and support Zi Jie as she usually did?

The more Liang Hui thought about it, the more anxious he became. He regretted his impulsive actions earlier and hurriedly pulled Ji Guokun to help him persuade the old woman to change her mind and not punish her son.

Unexpectedly, Ji Guokun replied, "Just treat it as him going to reflect on it."

Liang Hui's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Alright mom, stop worrying about me. If kneeling for a night can help grandma vent her anger, then it doesn't matter." Ji Zijie also began to speak out, looking at his brothers and sisters one by one, "You guys should also go back to sleep."

With that, he called Ah Shou over, lowered his head and walked towards the ancestral hall.

As the ancestral hall of the Ji Clan, it was dignified, majestic, and magnificent. But in the end, it was still this place. The magnificence of this place could not hide the cold and Xiao Su.

Looking at the spirit tablets on the stage, Ji Zijie's expression was grave and his emotions were complicated. He suddenly remembered that his name would appear here someday in the future.

Ah Shou cried out in shock, and quickly consoled him, "Young master, what nonsense are you spouting, you are going to enjoy all the glory and wealth, live for a hundred years, that matter, is far."

Really? No matter how far it was, it would eventually come. There was no way to avoid it.

In fact, sometimes he would also think to himself, what is the purpose of life? He would laugh at the pitiful and lamentable people who roamed the world every day for their livelihood, getting what they wanted and living with no dignity at all.

As for himself, he was destined to have an illustrious and prestigious identity as soon as he was born. He didn't have to worry about what others were worrying about, nor did he have to care about others' faces, nor did he have to fawn over others.

The scene of Ji Chenxi personally feeding the porridge earlier was still lingering in his mind.

To be honest, he was intimidated as well. He couldn't help but assume that if he were in Ai Hui's shoes, he would have the courage to do the same. But soon, he started to wonder if there was anyone else that was worthy of him.

Gu Rou?

However …

"Young master, is the cushion soft enough? Should I add another one? "

Suddenly, Ah Shou called out in a low voice.

Ji Zijie came out of his deep thoughts. He first looked at Ah Shou for a few seconds, then replied without needing to speak.

Ah Shou cried out in alarm, but did not speak further. After a while, he asked again, "Young Master Qu, are you thirsty?

At this time, Ji Zijie appeared as if he did not hear his and did not react.

"Are you cold? Can I get you some clothes?"

Ji Zijie's eyes were still slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep, yet he still stood up straight.

Ah Shou was sure that he wasn't really asleep, and continued, "Young Master Qu, are you hungry? You seem to like eating sweet wine and eggs the most. I'll get someone to prepare a bowl for you? "

"Right, after kneeling for so long, you must be tired. I think it's better if you use cushions. The floor is cold and hard, so it's very easy to damage your knees …"

"Alright, Ah Shou, why are you nagging like a woman? Are you sure your mom didn't give you the wrong sex? Do you know why I'm here? Drinking water, snacks, and cushions, if this young master really wanted to enjoy it, he shouldn't come to this sort of place, right? This is for introspection, remember? Therefore, we have to show our sincerity. This is the most basic form of respect to the ancestors! " Ji Zijie finally opened his eyes and looked at Ah Shou, replying in a bad mood.

Ah Shou was startled at first, but after rubbing the back of his head, he revealed an embarrassed and silly smile.

Ji Zijie cursed pig, his gaze returned to the stage, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"Putong!" Young Master Qing, until the sound suddenly came from beside him, he once again opened his eyes only to see that this fool, Ah Shou, had actually also kneeled down, right beside him without even using a cushion.

"Young Master Ju, you said that we were good brothers who shared difficulties. Now that you're in trouble, I will accompany you. With twice the sincerity, the ancestors will be even more moved and protect you even more."

He felt as if something had fallen into his eye sockets. It was extremely painful.

Staring fixedly at the silly kid beside him, Ji Zijie couldn't help but shout out "idiot" in a low voice, but his vision suddenly started to blur uncontrollably.

He would look at Ah Shou from time to time, his blurry vision slowly transforming Ah Shou into another shadow. The girl's slender figure, her beautiful face was filled with a strong, resolute determination and Shrewd, looking so beautiful that it dazzled his eyes.

Gu Rou, is that you?
