I'm a bully in troubled times

When he returned to the post house, Qi Ranming was leaning on the pillow and teasing a child.

The child was only seven or eight years old, with a round, fleshy, flushed face, giggling.Hearing someone coming, the child turned his head and saw that it was Jiang Yu. The smile on his face immediately disappeared, and he raised a small face and bowed to Jiang Yu seriously: "Hello, Lord Suiyang."

Jiang Yu stepped forward, seeming to want to touch his head, but stopped halfway there, and waved to the child.The child sneaked a glance at Qi Ranming, and Qi Ranming smiled at him, and he just smiled and ran out without a trace.

"Where did this child come from?" Jiang Yu sat down beside Qi Ranming's bed.

Qi Ranming: "It's the son of Li Sanniang in the kitchen."

Jiang Yu vaguely remembered such a person, and said with a smile, "This kid is like seeing a ghost when he sees me. How can I be so scary? Why does he smile at you, but keep a straight face at me?"

"You are Lord Suiyang, so it's different," Qi Ranming said, "People respect you, so of course they dare not play around in front of you."

"Respect me?" Jiang Yu thought of what Mrs. Ji said today, shook her head, and asked, "Did you take your medicine at night?"

Qi Ranming nodded and smiled: "Yes."

"So good," Jiang Yu ran along Qi Ranming's shoulders, stroking his long hair hanging on his shoulders, took out a paper bag from his arms, handed it to Qi Ranming, and said, "Your reward that was agreed in the afternoon."

Qi Ranming was a little amused, took it over and looked down, saw that it was pine nut candy, couldn't help but shook his head with a smile: "Are you treating others like a child?"

"How is it possible," Jiang Yu said, "I don't have the energy to raise so many children."

Qi Ranming took a piece of pine nut candy from the paper bag and fed it to his mouth. It was sweet and fragrant, the same taste as the one he ate when he was in Quwo as a pawn.He saw that although Jiang Yu was joking, there seemed to be a gloomy look on his brows, so he asked, "Did something happen this afternoon?"

Jiang Yu paused: "No."

Facing Qi Ranming's obviously disbelieving gaze, Jiang Yu explained again: "I just dealt with yesterday's matter with Zhao Di."

If Jiang Yu didn't say anything, Qi Ranming stopped asking.

"Take good care of your injuries. When you recover from your injuries, we will set off for Jicheng." Jiang Yu said.

"Is the Quwo matter over?" Qi Ranming asked.

"Originally, I had a plan for the next step, but..." Jiang Yu looked at Qi Ranming, "But Zhao Di helped me, and I appreciate his kindness, so I can't be ungrateful. So forget about the latter, and let him do it himself." Go and fight Shi Xiang."

Qi Ranming took a bite of pine nut candy: "...Did I disrupt your plan?"

"Of course not," Jiang Yu said, "It's Yingxi."

When it came to Yingxi, it was still difficult for Jiang Yu to calm down.

Qi Ranming: "Have you contacted Jicheng? How is the situation in Jicheng?"

Jicheng was originally undergoing reforms in full swing, Jiang Yu and the two had been out for more than a month, so I don't know how the reforms are going now.I don't know how the situation in Jicheng is.

"Uncle said everything is normal." Jiang Yu suddenly thought of a very important thing when he said this, so he asked, "Would you like to come with me to meet my uncle and aunt when you return to Jicheng?"

Xun Shu was Jiang Yu's only blood relative in this world, so Jiang Yu thought that no matter what, he should inform Xun Shu of such an important matter as marriage.Whether he agrees or not, Xun Shu can't control Jiang Yu anyway.

In Jiang Yu's view, this was a matter of course.

But for Qi Ranming, it was too unexpected.He looked at Jiang Yu almost in astonishment, and after confirming that Jiang Yu was not joking, Qi Ranming asked uncertainly: "Meet the ruling lord?"

"Yes." Jiang Yu said.

Qi Ranming: "...he should have seen me during the New Year's Eve."

Jiang Yu: "That's different."

At that time, Qi Ranming was just staying at Jiang Yu's house as a friend.

"How are you going to introduce me?" Qi Ranming asked.

Jiang Yu: "Is there a need to ask? Of course it's a truthful introduction."

"..." Qi Ranming opened his mouth, "...can the ruling lord agree?"

Jiang Yu thought for a while: "Probably not."

"Perhaps he will be so angry that I will be kicked out of the Xun Mansion, but not necessarily."

Qi Ranming: "..."

"then you……"

"However, what does it matter to me whether he agrees or not?" Jiang Yu smiled and said, "After all, it's not them who will spend the rest of your life with you, but me."

spend the rest of my life together...

This is the first time Jiang Yu told Qi Ranming directly and clearly that we will spend the rest of our lives together.The feelings between the two of them are rarely conveyed through words. They are clumsy at expressing their emotions with words, so all their emotions are hidden in their hearts and expressed through actions.

"What?" Seeing Qi Ranming's silence, Jiang Yu held his hand and asked softly, "Aren't you willing to spend the rest of your life with me?"

"I..." Qi Ranming was at a loss for words for a while, even at a loss and flustered, as if the feelings hidden behind the thin window paper had been pierced, "I..."

"What about me, eh?" Jiang Yu leaned close to Qi Ranming, put his warm palm on the back of his neck, rubbed it carefully, and stared at Qi Ranming's face very close, "Answer, do you want to?"

Qi Ranming actually felt that the palm on the back of the neck was a little hot, and he couldn't help shrinking his neck, but he got closer to Jiang Yu.Qi Ranming had some difficulty breathing, tilted his head slightly, and said in annoyance, "What are you asking again, don't you know at this time?"

Jiang Yu leaned closer to him, so close that their breaths became entangled.He found that it seemed that the closer he was to Qi Ranming, the blood and evil would be far away from him, and the closer he was to Qi Ranming, the less dazed and isolated from the world.

It turns out that Qi Ranming should be the bond between him and this world, like a kite floating in mid-air, suddenly a rope pulls him down.He is no longer adrift.

"I want to hear from you." Jiang Yu said, "I want to hear from you."

Knowing is not contradictory to telling, knowing but still seeking answers is just seeking some kind of peace of mind.

The closer Jiang Yu got, Qi Ranming felt more and more uncontrollably nervous.It seemed like he hadn't felt this kind of nervousness for a long, long time.

Qi Ranming felt that he didn't know where to look with his eyes, so he pursed his lips and gave a low "um".

The voice was low and inaudible, but it was enough to reach Jiang Yu's ears.

He squeezed Qi Ranming's chin, leaned over to kiss his lips, and after touching him lightly, he backed away an inch.

"In that case, I will take you to meet my family."

The scorching breath hit Qi Ranming's cheeks, making him feel that the heat on his face also increased.See family?He was going to meet Jiang Yu's family?

Then he kissed again.

Jiang Yu didn't dare to press the wound on his body, so his movements looked tough, but he was extremely careful, supporting Qi Ranming with one hand and pinching Qi Ranming's chin with the other, not allowing him to dodge.

Qi Ranming leaned his head back on the pillow, lifted his face slightly, and the eyelashes on his closed eyes trembled slightly.He pushed Jiang Yu's shoulder with his hand, but he didn't push it, so he had to put it down and grabbed the soft fabric of the bed sheet.

Qi Ranming began to hope that his injury would heal quickly.

Otherwise, you will always be bullied like this and have no strength to fight back.

At night, Jiang Yu slept next to Qi Ranming. Qi Ranming was lying on his back, and he faced Qi Ranming sideways, with one arm around his shoulder.Qi Ranming's whole body froze into a piece of wood, and he lay down for most of the night before falling asleep.

Yes, the injury should be healed quickly, and he can go back to his room to sleep.Qi Ranming thought to himself.

Even though Jiang Yu had told Gongsun Ke in advance not to let Qi Ranming know about the affairs of the Ji Mansion, but the people in the Ji Mansion could not stop their chatter, and there were quite a few people brought by Zhao Di. It cannot be blocked.

Rumors spread quickly without knowing how, and they were used as talking points in the streets and alleys by those ordinary people who had nothing to do after dinner.

Jiang Yu only left Qi Ranming for a while, and when he came back, he found that Qi Ranming's expression seemed a little bit wrong.

Qi Ranming was unable to move because of his injury, so he was carving that piece of jade again in the past two days.Hard work pays off, even if his hands are as clumsy as Qi Ranming, after carving so many jades, he finally started to look decent.

Seeing Jiang Yu's return, Qi Ranming paused slightly, and asked casually, "Have you dealt with what happened in the Riji Mansion?"

Jiang Yu had also heard some rumors. Hearing the words, his heart skipped a beat, and he nodded nonchalantly: "It's been dealt with, what's the matter?"

Qi Ranming leaned on the grand teacher's chair, put away the half-carved jade, and looked at the peach blossoms that fell on the ground outside the door: "I heard something from the people in the posthouse."

Jiang Yu thought in his heart: Alright, it seems that we can't hide it.

Qi Ranming: "Don't you have anything to say?"

Jiang Yu pulled up a chair and sat down beside Qi Ranming, looking at Qi Ranming: "What do you want me to say?"

Qi Ranming looked back at him, looked away for a while, and said in a low voice: "I went to ask Gongsun Ke."

"He listened to you very much and didn't say anything."

"So I want to ask you, what happened when you went out that afternoon?" Qi Ranming asked.

Jiang Yu was silent for a while, and decided to answer truthfully: "We have dealt with several people from the Ji Mansion."

"deal with?"

Jiang Yu brushed off his sleeves, and continued: "Yes, Ji Lu accused me of killing Ji Mengming."

"You know, the Ji family are all historians. So Ji Lu wants to write this matter into the annals of history."

"So you killed them all?" Qi Ranming asked.

"Full door?" Jiang Yu frowned slightly, and replied, "Almost."

"Ji Lu, his son Ji Taishi, and the eldest grandson are all too stubborn. The eldest grandson's wife is also a staunch woman. She rushed in halfway and was chopped down by Zhao Di."

"Only the youngest, Ji Zhong, promised not to write, so he was saved from death."

Three of the four men died, which is almost a full family.

After Jiang Yu finished speaking, seeing that Qi Ranming didn't speak, he turned to look at him, but saw that he lowered his head and crushed the half-carved jade just now.

"Don't use your internal strength." Jiang Yu pressed his hand and said, "Your internal injury has not healed."

Qi Ranming clapped his hands, patted the ashes off his hands, raised his eyes and said, "Do you know that apart from these three people, apart from Ji Zhong and his female family members, other female family members of the Ji family, including children, were all secretly executed by Zhao Di."

People in the streets and alleys didn't know that Ji Mengming was dead, they only knew that Zhao Di had killed people from the Ji Mansion, and that Jiang Yu also came out of the Ji Mansion with Zhao Di that day.

Jiang Yu was slightly taken aback: "Women and children?"

He really didn't know this, without his hands, he never gave such an order, and he didn't let Zhao Di do it.

Qi Ranming lowered his eyes: "Don't you know?"

Jiang Yu paused slightly, and replied: "Ji Lao, Ji Taishi and Ji Bo, I reminded Zhao Di to kill these three people, the others were not me."
