Chapter 355 If I don’t treat you well, who will I treat well?
And no one believed that he was responsible for finding the bodies of the bandits in the ruined temple.
Some said that the bandits had an internal dispute and killed each other, while others said that a chivalrous man saw injustice and drew his sword to kill the bandits.
And he had been defiled by bandits long before this. After all, who would believe that two weak men could defeat bandits?
He's been missing for such a long time. Who would believe me if I said nothing happened?
In short, everyone described it with detail, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
After he returned home, his mother did not listen to his explanation and directly punished him with family rules, whipping him until he passed out and then dragged him into the woodshed and locked him up.
He had a high fever in the middle of the night and his mother wanted to take the opportunity to burn him to death, but fortunately, Butler Lin saved him.
The Zhan Palace was brought to shame because of him. Everyone was very unfriendly to him and he was pointed at whenever he went out.
One time, he was sitting by the lotus pond in a daze, and his second brother, third brother and fourth sister came.
The fourth sister humiliated him in front of everyone for being shameless and doing such a disgraceful thing.
Although the second and third brothers did not say anything excessive, their looks were full of contempt and disgust.
He didn't want to hear those embarrassing words and wanted to leave, but his fourth sister wouldn't let him. During the scuffle, his second brother fell into the water.
The third and fourth sisters pushed the blame on him, saying that he was the one who pushed it.
The queen mother did not believe his words. She raised her arm and slapped him, scolding him for being vicious and intolerant.
Locked him in the woodshed.
The next morning he was driven out of the palace and sent to a farm in the countryside. From then on no one paid any attention to him and left him to fend for himself.
"It wasn't until three years later, about half a month ago, that a message was sent to let me come back."
Di Ran's eyebrows softened and he rubbed the top of Ji Yunxie's head.
"Well, the first time I met you, you overwhelmed me."
Ji Yunxie was slightly stunned: "Um... is there... is there?"
Di Ran raised her eyebrows slightly and pinched his face: "You want to deny it in front of everyone?"
Ji Yunxie really didn't know about this. He drooped his eyelashes and spoke softly.
"I didn't mean it."
Di Ran rubbed his head and replied softly: "Well, luckily I was your scapegoat, otherwise what would happen if Ah Xie was injured."
Ji Yunxie was stunned for a moment, his face slightly red, then he thought of the previous topic and his expression darkened. He rubbed his head in Di Ran's arms and said, "I thought the queen mother took me back because she remembered her son and felt guilty."
"But it wasn't until I was forced to marry that I realized I was wrong."
Ji Yunxie smiled bitterly, "He didn't do it for me, he did it for my second brother. My mother doted on my stepfather and didn't want my second brother to marry a useless man, so she sacrificed a useless son like me."
"I don't understand. He's her son too. Why would she do this to me?"
He only heard about the substitute marriage later. He really didn't expect his mother to be so cruel. The mother-son relationship he expected before returning became a joke.
He shouldn't have expected anything. Aren't these ten years of torture enough to wake him up?
Di Ran's eyes were cold. He hugged Ji Yunxie and comforted him.
"It's not your fault. It's not your fault."
"Perhaps your mother doesn't dislike you, but she has her own difficulties."
As he spoke, Di Ran's eyes flashed.
Ji Yunxie murmured, "Really?"
He had said this to himself before, but after being disappointed again and again, he had become disheartened.
After the housekeeper Lin, who had watched him grow up, was killed by his mother, he gave up on her.
"Believe in me, everything will be fine. With me here, no one can hurt you again, including me."
Ji Yunxie raised his head slightly, his dark eyes twinkling with starlight, and his thin lips slightly raised.
"Ayue, you are so nice to me."
Di Ran's eyes were gentle. He scratched his nose and said with a smile.
"You are my husband, who else can I treat well if not you?"
After hearing this, Ji Yunxie's cold heart felt warm, like the light of the sun, illuminating his entire life.
At this moment, he just wanted to hold on tightly, even if he would be covered in bruises in the future, he was willing to do so.
