Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

"No one wants something like that to happen. Miss Ji has grown up safely and happily until now, and has developed such an innocent, frank and lovely appearance. I believe that Lord Ji and Madam Ji must have put a lot of thought into it and doted on Miss Ji, right?"

Cheng Wan's expression was very sincere when he said this, and there was a bit of admiration for Ji Dahai and his wife in his eyes.

Cheng Daniu and Wang looked at Cheng Wan with some surprise, and almost couldn't control their expressions.

They didn't quite understand why Cheng Wan said this when he clearly knew that Madam Ji favored Ji Mingzhu's sister and brother.

why?

Of course, I want to hear how Ji Dahai will answer this question.

Whether to lie or tell the truth will determine Cheng Wan's attitude towards Ji Dahai in the future.

Ji Dahai's body stiffened slightly, his hands clenched into fists and placed on his knees on both sides, his mouth opened and closed.

Cheng Wan saw the unspeakable entanglement and pain in Ji Dahai's eyes, but she just looked at Ji Dahai quietly, saying nothing, waiting for Ji Dahai to speak.

"No, we are not good to Mingzhu..." Ji Dahai closed his eyes and said with difficulty: "Not good."

"Mingzhu's mother was unwilling to believe that Mingzhu's brain was damaged at first, and she patiently taught Mingzhu how to speak and act every day.

But Mingzhu was slow to react and her eyes were silly. After a while, her mother finally accepted the fact that Mingzhu's brain was burned.

It was also from that time that her mother's attitude towards Mingzhu...changed."

Ji Dahai lowered his head, his voice hoarse:

“She stopped smiling at Mingzhu and started to get impatient with her, sometimes scolding and calling her stupid and foolish.

I had originally planned to bring all four of them with me when I took office, but I was worried that Mingzhu would suffer and be wronged at home when I was not at home during the day.

So I left Mingzhu in my hometown and let her grandparents take care of her.

When Mingzhu was ten years old, I saved some money. Her grandparents thought of bringing Mingzhu to the city to raise her for a few years. Maybe she could find a good family in the city, so I took Mingzhu to live with me. "

When Ji Dahai finished speaking, one could hear a pin drop in the hall.

Cheng Wan narrowed his eyes and looked at Ji Dahai: "After Miss Ji was brought here, what was Mrs. Ji's attitude towards Miss Ji...?"

"Alas!" Ji Dahai sighed deeply, and then said:

"After I brought Mingzhu here, her mother didn't beat or scold her, but she also didn't care much about her or ask much about her. Because of her attitude, Mingzhu didn't get close to her mother.

But Mingzhu has a pretty good relationship with her sister and brother. The two little ones treat Mingzhu like a stranger and are willing to stick to her."

Having said that, a smile finally appeared on Ji Dahai's face.

Cheng Wan's eyelashes drooped slightly, and she unconsciously turned the bracelet on her wrist.

The twins are willing to stick to Ji Mingzhu. It is estimated that it is not just Ji Dahai. Ji Mingzhu's mother has also mentioned Ji Mingzhu in front of the twins many times.

Ji Mingzhu's mother's feelings towards Ji Mingzhu seem... a little complicated.

"My Lord, Lady Shu, Master Cheng, this is roughly the situation of my family. Mingzhu is indeed..."

Ji Dahai pursed his lips and said frankly:

"Her mother and I didn't expect Mingzhu to marry well. We just wanted to find an ordinary family for her, preferably one that was not as well off as my family.

After all, I am now an official of the ninth rank, so I will find an ordinary family to save Mingzhu from being bullied."

When Ji Dahai mentioned that he was a ninth-rank official, his voice suddenly dropped and he even lowered his head in embarrassment.

Cheng Wan looked at Ji Dahai calmly. He believed the truthfulness of what Ji Dahai said tonight.

only……

Cheng Wan frowned slightly, carefully recalling Ji Mingzhu's various behaviors.

He is indeed slightly different from ordinary people, but he is not stupid, his reactions are not slow, and his personality is quite cute.

"Well, Lord Marquis, Lady Shu, Master Cheng, I have said everything I need to say. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

Ji Dahai's careful words brought Cheng Wan, Cheng Daniu and Wang back to their senses.

So far, the three of them have only met Ji Mingzhu once, and then they learned from Ji Dahai that Ji Mingzhu's brain is not normal, and they know very little about Ji Mingzhu.

Neither Cheng Wan, Cheng Daniu, nor Wang Shi could make a quick decision on whether to ask Ji Mingzhu for Deng Xiong based on their understanding of Ji Mingzhu.

We need to wait a little longer, ask around a little more, contact Ji Mingzhu again, and especially wait for Deng Xiong's opinion.

In short, there is no need to rush and we cannot rush for these one or two days.

……

This matter concerns Deng Xiong's lifelong event. After learning a lot about the Ji family's affairs from Ji Dahai that night, Cheng Wan personally arranged all the subsequent matters.

Ten days were enough for Cheng Wan to sort out and summarize various information and get the results he wanted.

After dinner, in Cheng Wan's study, Cheng Wan sat behind the desk, reading a book seriously.

At this moment, a maid's voice came from outside: "My Lord, Steward Chen wants to see you."

"Let him in."

Cheng Wan closed the book and put it aside, then gently pinched the bridge of his nose.

Asking for a meeting at this time, Cheng Wan had a feeling that the news Chen Changtong brought might not be particularly good.

And indeed it is.

After hearing Chen Changtong's report, Cheng Wan paused pinching his nose and sighed, "I was planning to talk about this tomorrow. Go and ask the master, the mistress, and Young Master Sanxiong to gather at Muyuan Hall. Tell them that I have something important to discuss with them."

Chen Changtong took the order and left. Cheng Wan opened a drawer under the table and took out a folded piece of paper.

After opening it, Cheng Wan carefully read the black words on the white paper to make sure that his memory had not missed anything. Then he put the white paper away, stood up and walked out.

When Cheng Wan arrived at Muyuan Hall, Cheng Daniu and Wang had already arrived. Deng Xiong lived relatively far away from Muyuan Hall, so he had not arrived yet.

"Late night."

Gu Yu, who was sitting sideways on Wang's thighs, saw Cheng Wan coming in. His eyes suddenly lit up, he slid down from Wang's thighs, and ran towards Cheng Wan with his short legs.

"He was originally going to sleep, but when he heard you calling us, he woke up and insisted on following us."

Wang looked at Gu Yu tilting his little head and stretching his arms towards Cheng Wan asking her to hold him, and shook her head in amusement.

Cheng Wan raised the corners of his mouth, with a smile on his brows, picked up Gu Yu and held him in his arms, then walked to sit next to Wang.

"Ah Wan, what do you want us to discuss here?"

After saying that, Mrs. Lin suddenly had an idea: "Is it related to your third brother?"

The big things in the family recently, apart from the eldest granddaughter's exam, are the girl this grandson has fallen in love with.

It couldn’t be that the eldest granddaughter’s test results were released in the evening, that would have to be another big thing.

"Grandma, godfather, godmother, Ah Wan."

Deng Xiong has arrived.
