Zhao Luoning knew he must be planning to steal a kiss from her again, so she reached out her hand to push him away.
Unexpectedly, Ji Shisu grabbed her hand and planted a kiss on her palm.
"And my lips too."
He still managed to kiss her.
"Ji Shisu!"
Zhao Luoning was both ashamed and angry!
"My lady, I'm here!"
"If you keep doing this, I'll get angry!"
Her soft and waxy show of anger was hardly threatening. Ji Shisu nodded.
"If you get angrier, I won't be able to control myself. It won't just be my hands and lips."
Zhao Luoning: "..."
Ever since that night, this man had completely changed.
He used to be a gentle and modest gentleman.
Now he had turned into a flirtatious young master who couldn't go three sentences without flirting.
Oh, no.
Zhao Luoning suddenly realized.
This man was originally the well - known flirtatious second young master.
Ji Shisu grabbed Zhao Luoning's hand, put away his joking mood, and said seriously,
"Luoning, I don't want to see you angry."
"If you don't want to see me angry, then deal with all your flirts properly!" As soon as Zhao Luoning said this, she realized that her words were a bit unreasonable, so she said, "Forget it..."
Before Zhao Luoning could finish her words, Ji Shisu quickly said,
"How can we forget about it? You should just order me and say, 'Ji Shisu, divorce all your concubines. You should only keep me by your side. How can my husband, Zhao Luoning's husband, sleep with other women.'"
Zhao Luoning: "Ji Shisu, divorce all your concubines. You should only keep me by your side. How can my husband, Zhao Luoning's husband, sleep with other women."
Zhao Luoning imitated it exactly as he said.
She wanted to see how Ji Shisu would answer.
Ji Shisu beamed with joy: "Okay, yes, sir!"
Zhao Luoning: "..." You're really going to do it."
"Of course. Since you've said so, I'll surely obey."
"But, your..."
"My lady, you should be like this from now on. Remember, you're no longer the second young mistress of the Ji family. You don't need to look ahead and behind, or be timid. Just do whatever you want. I'll always be by your side."
Zhao Luoning tasted something amiss.
This Ji Shisu. It felt like sending him out of the Ji mansion back then was part of a big plan he had arranged.
Moreover, in the current situation, if she wasn't the second young mistress of the Ji family, how could he be by her side?
According to his words, she was now Zhao Luoyu, and he was her brother - in - law.
What? Was he going to commit incest?!
Ji Shisu had no intention of answering Zhao Luoning's doubts at all.
He smiled and patted Zhao Luoning's hand, then pulled her to the kitchen to look for something delicious.
Zhao Luoning and Ji Shisu left after throwing the difficult problem to Jingxiu and Guixiu.
Now, the two maids looked at each other in dismay.
Although they knew that the master only had eyes for the mistress in his heart, the two women in front of them could still be considered the master's women.
Guixiu pulled Jingxiu aside and suggested,
"Since they're the master's concubines, how about arranging them in the mistress's courtyard? Then it'll be easier for the mistress to manage them?"
Jingxiu gave her a disdainful look.
"Do you want the master and the mistress to scold us to death? Putting these two big shots in the other courtyard is just asking for trouble for the master and the mistress! It seems that no one is living in the south wing. It's the farthest from the other courtyard. Send them there."
Hearing this, Guixiu gave Jingxiu a thumbs - up.
"You're still more thoughtful."
The two concubines were arranged in a wing room farthest from Zhao Luoning and Ji Shisu.
If it weren't for the fact that they came with Lord Ye, which was an order from the emperor, Jingxiu would have wanted to pack them up and send them back to the capital.
Two beautiful concubines were sent here, but were sent to the farthest wing room.
This action made Ji Shisu the butt of many jokes among the soldiers, who said he was hen - pecked.
Ji Shisu didn't mind at all. Instead, he was proud of it. So what if he was hen - pecked? He wished Luoning would manage him.
Moreover, Ji Shisu knew the emperor's intention, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he was a bit grateful to the emperor.
Right now, there really was someone who needed Lüqu.
The emperor sent her in time.
In the military camp
Yu Chi and Ji Shijian were both injured. But since Yu Chi's internal strength was much better than Ji Shijian's, after several rounds of recuperation, the poison in his body had almost been forced out.
Ji Shijian wasn't as lucky as Yu Chi.
Because the injury was discovered late, the poisonous gas was already threatening to attack his heart. He had been on the verge of death several times.
For this reason, Ji Shisu and Zhao Luoning hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days. They took turns guarding him, afraid that something might happen to him.
The tent of Ji Shijian was brightly lit.
At night in Shiguan, the cold was piercing.
Afraid that Ji Shijian might catch a cold at this critical moment, Zhao Luoning got up and stirred the burning fire in the stove to make it burn more vigorously.
As Zhao Luoning stirred the candle flame in her hand, she was thinking about Ji Shisu in her heart.
All along, they had been guarding Ji Shijian together.
But looking at the sky, it was almost midnight, yet Ji Shisu's figure hadn't appeared.
It wasn't that she liked to think wildly. It was mainly because there were still two concubines of Ji Shisu living in the mansion.
She might be able to rest assured about Chen Chuliu. Although she liked to play tricks, Ji Shisu had no feelings for her.
As for Lüqu, it was hard to say.
Zhao Luoning had always known clearly in her heart that Lüqu was her biggest threat.
She would never forget that in the Ji mansion, once Ji Shisu got angry with her, he would immediately run to Lüqu's place.
Right now, Ji Shisu had arranged Lüqu in the farthest wing room to take care of her feelings.
But it didn't mean that Ji Shisu wouldn't go to comfort Lüqu for her sake.
Zhao Luoning considered herself not a petty person, but since Chen Chuliu and Lüqu had settled in the mansion, she could no longer be as magnanimous as before.
She clearly knew in her heart that Lüqu had arrived at the Ji mansion earlier than her and had even miscarried a child for Ji Shisu.
It was only natural for Ji Shisu to go and see her.
But a sour feeling was spreading in her heart and was becoming more and more out of control.
Zhao Luoning was afraid of such herself, like a jealous woman.
Would she also become as pathetic as her step - mother in the future, ugly and scheming for a man?
Just as she was lost in wild thoughts, there came a sound of footsteps outside the tent.
Zhao Luoning looked up and saw a familiar shadow projected on the white tent.
Behind this shadow, there was also the shadow of a woman.
The two walked one after the other to the front of the tent. The strong man guarding the door bowed respectfully to the man.
"General."
The tent was lifted, and a cold wind blew into the room.
Ji Shisu walked in with Lüqu.
As soon as Zhao Luoning saw the two of them, her face changed.
Sure enough, he had gone to see Lüqu.
With Lüqu around, Zhao Luoning endured the anger in her heart and didn't lose her temper.
But in her heart, she was already secretly swearing.
Ji Shisu, just you wait!
