When Zhao Luoning heard this news, her mouth opened so wide that an egg could fit in it.
"The eldest daughter of the Ji family, Ji Shihan?"
"Yeah. Most people hold ghost weddings secretly at night, but theirs was really grand. With the imperial edict, the Shu family was angry but didn't dare to say anything. Shu Danqing used eight fine horses to pull the carriage and married the eldest daughter of the Ji family into his home in great style. After the wedding, she was buried in the Shu family's ancestral tomb and would enjoy the family's sacrifices."
Remembering the wedding that day, Hua Ci couldn't help sighing.
"The eldest daughter of the Ji family is really blessed. Many people's real weddings are not as grand as her ghost wedding."
Blessed?
Zhao Luoning didn't comment.
Moreover, marrying Shu Danqing might not have been what Ji Shihan wanted.
However, she should thank Shu Danqing. At least Ji Shihan had a decent end.
After all, Ji Shihan was once engaged to Sima Yi, and Sima Yi was a rebel. According to the temper of the Ji family elders, they would never have allowed Ji Shihan to return to the ancestral mansion.
Although the infamy on Ji Shihan was caused by them.
Now, Shu Danqing not only cleared Ji Shihan's name, enabling her to get rid of the infamy of being a rebel's wife, but also buried her in the ancestral tomb, so that Ji Shihan wouldn't become a lonely ghost.
If Shihan were still alive, she would surely be touched by Shu Danqing.
She was a passionate person, trapped by love all her life.
If she had met a good and loyal man like Shu Danqing earlier, she wouldn't have had such a tragic ending.
"Miss, there are too many people here. Let's go around from there."
Although the street was crowded, the alleys were quite empty. Hua Ci was afraid that the crowd would push and shove and hurt Zhao Luoning, so she pulled her into an alley next to the hotel.
The alley wasn't wide, but at least it wasn't as crowded as on the street.
After walking a few steps, Zhao Luoning suddenly stopped. Hua Ci was puzzled and thought she was feeling unwell again, so she quickly asked with concern,
"Miss, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhao Luoning shook her head. She just vaguely heard a familiar voice coming from the inner alley.
As if possessed, Zhao Luoning turned around and was about to walk into the adjacent alley. Hua Ci quickly grabbed her.
"Miss, it's not that way. It's a dead end. Come this way."
But Zhao Luoning didn't say anything. She just hissed and told Hua Ci to listen carefully.
"How dare you steal your grandma's bag! You don't want to live anymore! I'd like to see what this audacious thief looks like. Feixing, lift her head up."
This time, Hua Ci also heard clearly. It was indeed Caixue's voice.
Hua Ci didn't stop Zhao Luoning anymore and followed her hurriedly into the dead end.
After walking a few steps and turning a corner, they saw Caixue dressed as an ordinary young lady, carrying a bag and glaring angrily at the crazy old woman sitting on the ground.
Feixing was holding her with one hand and was about to lift the crazy old woman's head with the other.
Feixing was a martial artist with sharp ears. As soon as Zhao Luoning and the others came over, he noticed them.
Caixue noticed Feixing's uneasiness and looked back along his line of sight.
Just then, Zhao Luoning called out,
"Caixue, it's really you."
Caixue didn't expect to meet Zhao Luoning here.
She turned around and saw her and Hua Ci standing behind them.
Having not seen her miss for many days, she naturally missed her very much. She rushed over and hugged Zhao Luoning tightly.
"Miss, miss, Caixue is back, Caixue is back."
Although Zhao Luoning staggered a bit, she managed to steady herself. Feeling the unique grassy fragrance of Caixue in her arms, she was quite relieved.
The empty space in her heart that had been left by Caixue's departure was finally filled.
Zhao Luoning also showed a smile, happy that Caixue had returned.
She had thought A Shun was seeing things.
Unexpectedly, Caixue, her Caixue, the Caixue she thought she would never see again, had really returned to her side.
Although Hua Ci was happy for them, she still couldn't help but carefully pull Caixue away.
"Gently, gently."
Caixue was dissatisfied. She had wanted to hug her miss like this for a long time when she was in Buda Country. How could she let go?
While muttering, she was about to move closer again.
"Miss is a real person. How could I hurt her by hugging her? Hua Ci, you're just being stingy."
But Hua Ci quickly pulled her away and kindly reminded her,
"Miss is pregnant now. If something goes wrong, see if your master won't skin you alive."
Although Caixue was really over - excited, the baby in her belly wasn't that fragile.
If the baby was so easily lost just by Caixue's hug, then she would have to be extremely cautious even with the slightest movement in the future.
Hua Ci was over - nervous. Not only Hua Ci, but everyone who knew about this was nervous.
It even made her, as the mother, wonder if she was not being careful enough with the baby in her belly.
Sure enough, hearing what Hua Ci said, Caixue, who was originally happy about the reunion, became nervous.
She didn't dare to hug Zhao Luoning tightly anymore. She only dared to hold one of her arms and stared at her still - flat belly.
As if she had x - ray eyes, she could see the unformed little one in Zhao Luoning's belly at a glance.
"Miss, are you really...?"
Zhao Luoning nodded with a smile. The maternal radiance shone brightly at this moment, making Caixue a little dazed.
"Don't listen to Hua Ci. I'm not that delicate."
Before Hua Ci could say anything, Caixue had already rushed to answer.
"Yes, yes. It's all Caixue's fault. Caixue was just too happy to see miss. Little master, don't be angry."
Caixue's somewhat childish behavior made Hua Ci laugh. She couldn't help asking,
"How do you know it's a little master?"
Caixue tilted her head and thought for a while, then quickly replied,
"If it's not a little master, a little miss is fine too. Anyway, miss is so beautiful and master is so handsome. Whether it's a little miss or a little master, it must be the most beautiful child in the world."
Although Caixue had been in Buda Country for half a year, her temper hadn't changed much. Her childishness had become even more obvious. Presumably, the people there doted on her a lot.
"Okay, you're so good at talking. What's going on here?"
Only then did Caixue remember that there was still a thief to deal with.
Zhao Luoning walked a little closer.
This move of Zhao Luoning's worried Ji Shisu to death.
That was a thief who dared to rob a bag.
How could she just walk up so boldly?
Ji Shisu was about to step forward when Yu Chi quickly grabbed him.
"Sir, you'd better not go. Didn't you say that madam would be angry if she saw you? Besides, Feixing is there."
"Can we trust an outsider?"
"Well, even if you don't trust him, there's nothing you can do. Look at the thief on the ground. Who is it?"
Yu Chi pointed at the disheveled female thief.
Ji Shisu frowned and took a few glances before recognizing her.
"Is it her?"
