Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

For a moment, the whole room fell silent, and no one seemed to know how to respond.

Ye Yunzi was in mixed feelings. She didn't expect that she had been thinking about this marquis in her mind before.

There was a barely perceptible hint of loss in the mother's eyes.

After Ji Xinying drank a sip of tea, she seemed to suddenly remember something, put down the cup, and patted her knees gently.

"Oh, I almost forgot to make it clear that I am not my father's biological daughter."

Her words made Ye Yunzi even more confused, and Ji Xinying continued to explain:

“My parents died when I was a baby. My uncle took me in and treated me as his own.

And I always called him 'Dad' because he was like a real father to me."

When she said this, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

"I hope Dad can be happy. Even if I am gone one day, there will be someone to accompany him."

After hearing this, Ye Yunzi wanted to say something to comfort her, but she didn't know where to start. Her mother looked at Ji Xinying tenderly, her eyes full of sympathy and admiration.

"Lord Ji will definitely be very pleased with a filial daughter like you."

Ji Xinying tried hard to force a smile.

"You are very kind, ma'am." She said with gratitude in her eyes.

Ye Yunzi stared at Ji Xinying, and suddenly a strange feeling surged in her heart - as if they had a telepathic connection.

Ji Xinying seemed to feel the gaze. She raised her head, and when her eyes met Ye Yunzi's, she winked playfully.

Ye Yunzi breathed a sigh of relief. She realized that Ji Xinying's visit today was not to cause trouble, but to find out the truth, just as she did.

She smiled slightly, feeling that things might go better than expected.

Ji Xinying looked at Ye Yunzi and sighed, "I haven't seen my parents since I was a child. I really want to know if my mother will be as gentle as Madam."

"I definitely will," Ye Yunzi responded gently.

"You are so smart and lovable, your mother must be a gentle and beautiful woman."

"It would be great if Madam could be my mother."

Ji Xinying said this casually, but Ye Yunzi's mother was speechless for a moment and her cheeks flushed.

Seeing this, Ji Xinying changed the subject at the right time: "Ms. Ye, I'm not familiar with Beijing yet. Would you like to accompany me to walk around and try some delicious food?"

Ye Yunzi readily agreed, and the two exchanged smiles tacitly.

Ye's mother was unaware of the tacit understanding between them, and she just kept instructing the servants to take good care of the two young ladies.

As soon as she left the Ye Mansion, Ji Xinying no longer concealed her lively nature and spoke her heart out to Ye Yunzi: "I hope your mother can be my new mother."

Ye Yunzi was slightly surprised, then smiled and replied: "I have the same idea, I hope our parents can get together."

They smiled at each other, as naturally as if they were old friends.

"We have to think of a way," Ji Xinying frowned.

"My dad is totally unromantic. This is going to be very difficult!"

Ye Yunzi smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, we will always find a way. But now, let's go and experience the beauty of the capital."

"Have you ever been to the capital before?" Ye Yunzi asked curiously.

"No, I've been living in Jingzhou to recuperate, and this is the first time I've sneaked out," Ji Xinying muttered.

“But they will be sent back soon.”

She pouted in dissatisfaction, obviously reluctant to see the journey coming to an end.

"Don't mention those annoying things! What delicious food is there in Beijing?" Ji Xinying turned her head and looked at Ye Yunzi with anticipation.

Ye Yunzi shook her head and pulled Ji Xinying towards the street snacks as if she was treating a good friend.

The two of them were walking on the street. Ji Xinying was attracted by the steaming buns. She blinked her eyes curiously and said, "I have never seen these buns just out of the pot."

"Those red strings are candied haws, right?" she asked, pointing in the distance.

"Wow, look at this sugar painting, it's so realistic, it looks like it's alive!"

Ji Xinying was very excited, smiling from ear to ear, and pulled Ye Yunzi to buy a lot of little gadgets.

Ye Yunzi remembered that Ji Xinying had mentioned that she was not in good health, so she secretly sent someone back to the mansion to inquire whether she had any dietary restrictions, for fear that she might accidentally make her condition worse.

After walking around for a while, they decided to find a restaurant to rest. Ji Xinying ordered a table full of delicious food.

"This is my first time drinking in a restaurant!" She carefully sniffed the aroma of the wine in the glass and squinted her eyes with satisfaction.

"Yunzi, thank you for playing with me so happily."

"You're welcome." Ye Yunzi smiled slightly and took a sip of wine.

In fact, she herself hadn't relaxed like this for a long time, and the person she should thank was Ji Xinying. Putting down her wine glass, she asked with concern:

"What's wrong with your body? Why do you feel uncomfortable?"

Hearing this question, Ji Xinying's smile gradually disappeared, and she managed a smile: "It's okay, I've been like this since I was a child, I'm used to it."

"The doctor said I might not live to see 18." Ji Xinying counted the days on her fingers and sighed.

"So I really hope that before I leave, I can see my father and his true love finally get married. Time is running out!"

She quickly adjusted her mood and returned to her usual lively self.

Ye Yunzi felt a pang of sadness in her heart. Such an optimistic and cheerful girl had such a cruel fate. Suddenly, she thought that maybe she could try to find the famous doctor, Dr. Tao.

"Yunzi, do you have any good ideas? How about we set up a plan tomorrow so that dad and his crush can meet alone?"

Ji Xinying suggested excitedly, and couldn't help laughing when she thought about her father's possible surprise and embarrassment.

"Good idea." Ye Yunzi said in agreement.

"Great! Haha, then we will follow secretly and see what happens..."

As she was speaking, Ji Xinying's face suddenly turned pale and her voice stopped. She frowned and frantically searched for something in her pocket, her hands shaking.

"Xinying, what's wrong with you?" Ye Yunzi immediately became nervous upon seeing this and asked with concern.

Ji Xinying's face was as white as paper, and her breathing was rapid:

"I..." She tried to speak, but could only make a weak sound and continued to search anxiously for something in her purse.

With a slight sound, the purse fell to the ground.

"Medicine!" She squeezed out the word with great effort, her voice as thin as a mosquito's buzz.

Ye Yunzi quickly bent down to pick up her purse, took out a pill and handed it to Ji Xinying.

"Is that your medicine?" she asked.

Ji Xinying took the pill, put it in her mouth hastily, and swallowed it. Seeing this, Ye Yunzi quickly handed her a glass of water, worried that she would choke.

After a while, Ji Xinying's trembling body slowly calmed down.

She tried to hide her discomfort with a smile and said to Ye Yunzi, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll be fine after taking the medicine. I'm sorry for scaring you."

"It's okay." Ye Yunzi shook her head, but she was secretly speculating in her heart that the situation just now did not look like an ordinary illness attack, but rather like symptoms of poisoning.
