Chapter 726: Scheming Cousin and Cold-blooded General 2

*

Since there was only an empty seat to the left of Yun Wu, Ji Siyan sat down directly.

"Si Yan hasn't been home for almost half a month. Someone, come and bring another set of bowls and chopsticks to sit next to me."

Prime Minister Ji said this with some emotion, and was about to order his servants to move the seat over, but was stopped by Ji Siyan.

"No need to bother. I'll just sit here."

Ji Siyan's voice was as stern as his face, and the servant quickly placed the dishes and chopsticks in front of Ji Siyan.

Prime Minister Ji was not annoyed. His originally solemn face showed a bit more satisfaction when he looked at Ji Siyan.

The eldest lady twisted the Buddhist beads in one hand and asked kindly:

"Are you still busy with military affairs now?"

Yun Wu sat beside Ji Siyan with her head lowered, eating silently, but she was a little absent-minded and still inevitably felt a little nervous.

The cold and sharp scent of spikenard that was unique to men seemed to surround her entire body, and just sitting there she felt an oppressive feeling.

"It's okay."

Ji Siyan spoke concisely, glancing casually at the girl beside him.

The girl in the apricot dress had a slender figure. She lowered her head and ate obediently and properly, taking small bites and taking only a little at a time.

Ji Siyan frowned slightly and saw that the girl's hand holding the chopsticks was small and fair.

He couldn't help but lower his eyes to take a look at his own hands. Due to years of martial arts training, his palms were broad and strong, as if he could firmly restrain her hands with just one palm...

"The eldest son has been promoted to major general at such a young age. I am really happy for you, but..."

Aunt Zhao covered her lips with a handkerchief and said, then looked at Prime Minister Ji with some disappointment and continued:

"But our Chi'er still doesn't have any official position. If the master can manage it, Chi'er can also bring some glory to the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

Ji Yao, who was sitting on the other side of Yun Wu, snorted calmly when she heard the words. How could she not know what Aunt Zhao was thinking?

If it were in the past, Ji Yao would have said in a sarcastic tone that this was not something a concubine could handle.

But today she didn't say anything. She glanced at Ji Siyan and then continued to eat with her head down like an honest quail, not daring to act rashly.

"The master is a civil official, so he naturally cannot make decisions on matters in the military camp. Si Yan was promoted to Major General based on his military merits when he followed the army to the battlefield. Chi Er is still young now, and if he passes the imperial examination in the future, his future will naturally be bright."

The eldest lady said lightly, raising her eyelids and glancing at Aunt Zhao.

Ji Chi, who was eating happily with his head down, raised his head, smiled at his mother and said:

"Yes, mother, what mother said is right. My elder brother is very powerful now. How can I be an official?"

Ji Chi touched the back of his head and smiled at Aunt Zhao. Although he didn't like reading very much, Aunt Zhao urged him to study, so he just studied.

Listening to her "stupid" son's words, Aunt Zhao's blood almost boiled over.

Yun Wu lowered her eyes and continued to eat in small bites without making any sound.

After all, she is a distant relative, and now that she is living under someone else's roof, she naturally cannot interfere in the affairs of the prime minister's mansion.

Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Ji, who had been silent all the time, asked her at this time.

"Xiao Wu has been in the capital for more than half a month now. Are you used to living here?"

"To reply to Uncle, everything is fine."

Yun Wu quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, "The girl has reached the age to get married. She is beautiful and well-behaved, and she makes people feel good just by looking at her."

"I was a little homesick at first, but my cousin treated me very well and talked to me often. Now I'm used to it."

"That's good. If there's anything you need, just tell your aunt."

Prime Minister Ji said, Yun Wu responded obediently and took a sip of the teacup.

When Ji Siyan heard her say "missing home", he couldn't help but lower his eyes and think of the scene when he first met this cousin.

No wonder she cried so sadly at that time...

After finishing dinner, Ji Yao took Yun Wu out of the lobby early, and the two walked together in the corridor in the backyard.

"Huh, I can finally talk freely now. I didn't dare to act rashly when my elder brother was here just now."

Ji Yao patted her chest and said, no wonder she became much quieter today, it turned out to be because Ji Siyan suddenly came back.

Yun Wu followed beside her, smiling softly, and asked tentatively:

"Is my cousin... very fierce?"

"It's not that he's vicious, it's just... my eldest brother has been in the military since he was a child, and now he's a major general. He's very disciplined during his training and admonitions, and he has a cold temper. Previously, a maid tried to climb into his bed, but she was caught by the guards before she even touched my eldest brother, and her fate was miserable."

Ji Yao shuddered, then lowered her voice and whispered to Yun Wu:

"My eldest brother is the most difficult person to mess with in the mansion. Cousin, you should be careful too. It would be bad if you offend him."

"it is good……"

Yun Wu nodded weakly, and soon they arrived at the courtyard where Ji Yao lived. Yun Wu and her personal maid Liu Yue continued to walk to the innermost part of the backyard.

She was not close to her aunt, the eldest lady. When she came to the prime minister's residence, the housekeeper arranged for her to live in a remote courtyard at the innermost backyard.

Yun Wu couldn't help but recall the second day she moved into the Prime Minister's Mansion. At night, she couldn't help but squat behind the rockery and cry alone.

As a result, when she looked up, she saw Ji Siyan. She was in tears and had a runny nose. She looked so embarrassed. She was also frightened by Ji Siyan's cold and terrifying aura.

"Miss, it's cold at night, let's go back to the house."

Liuyue said, Yun Wu shook her little head and stopped thinking about nonsense, and quickly stepped into the courtyard.

Never mind, as long as I don't live next door to her, I won't have much to do with this young master in the future...

After the figures of the master and servant disappeared, the man standing at the door of the next yard slowly withdrew his gaze.

The black tights showed off his broad shoulders and narrow waist. Under the moonlight, his handsome face had prominent brow bones. He was none other than Ji Siyan, the eldest son of the prime minister's mansion.

"The young general has not returned to his residence for half a month. I have already had someone clean up the yard."

The personal bodyguard Bai Shu bowed and said, Ji Siyan nodded lightly, and thought of the cousin who lived in the next yard.

He had seen her once before leaving the house. He was about to go back to the yard to get some things before returning to the barracks. When he passed by the rockery, he heard a sobbing sound like a kitten.

Ji Siyan was not a nosy person, and he wanted to just go around it. However, when he walked past, the person behind the rockery happened to raise his head.

His steps paused, and what he saw was a face full of tears, with red eyes that looked a bit pitiful.

The girl's eyes were like stars, and her white cheeks with tears seemed as clear as pearls.

Ji Siyan couldn't explain what he felt at the time, he just felt his heart tremble inexplicably. This unprecedented feeling made him frown, and his fists clenched slightly unconsciously.

She seemed to be frightened by him, and she wiped her tears and ran away.

"Major General? Major General?"

Bai Zhu called out twice before Ji Siyan came back to his senses and walked into the courtyard.

He later learned that the woman was his cousin who came to the capital to seek refuge in the prime minister's residence. He didn't know whether meeting her that night was a deliberate plan or a coincidence.

Ji Siyan felt that the former possibility seemed more likely.

For example, some maids had deliberately created chance encounters with him, someone had deliberately spilled tea on Prime Minister Ji, and there was also a good-looking servant who wanted to seduce Ji Yao.

Such attempts to climb up the social ladder were not uncommon in the prime minister's residence.

Ji Siyan's expression remained calm. He didn't bother to find out whether she had no such intention or had other motives.

Because he won't be fooled.
