Chapter 49: Bai Lian's younger brother
Ji Ze had just got off the carriage and was startled when he heard a familiar voice.
He glanced sideways and saw that it was his third brother, and smiled gently.
"So it's my third brother. There's no need for us to be polite. Get up quickly."
Ji Chen's face was soft and respectful: "Second brother is the legitimate heir, and Chen'er is the illegitimate heir. There is a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate heirs, and there is a hierarchy. Chen'er dare not cross the line."
The smile in Ji Ze's eyes deepened a little, and his face looked like a gentle, kind and good brother.
"Get up quickly."
"Thank you, second brother."
Ji Chen's voice softened.
Seeing that he seemed to have just returned, Ji Ze asked in a gentle voice.
"Where have you been?"
Ji Chen said softly: "In reply to Second Brother, Chen'er felt bored staying in the mansion, so I went out for a walk."
Ji Ze glanced and saw that there was only a servant boy following him, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Why don't you bring some people with you? It's not safe for a weak man like you to go out. What if something goes wrong?"
Ji Chen narrowed his almond-shaped eyes slightly, lowered his eyebrows and smiled.
"Thank you for your concern, second brother. It was Chen'er who neglected it. I will remember it next time."
"Ah."
Ji Ze nodded, turned around and was about to enter the mansion.
Ji Chen's voice came from behind: "Second brother~"
Ji Ze paused, turned sideways and asked in confusion: "Third brother, is there anything else?"
Ji Chen's eyes were evasive, and he said hesitantly, "There is something I don't know if I should tell you."
Ji Ze smiled gently: "Is there anything that cannot be said between you and me, brothers?"
Ji Chen hesitated for a while and said, "It's just... it's just that Chen'er seemed to have seen Big Brother just now."
Hearing this, Ji Ze stared at him with his bright eyes, narrowing them slightly.
"really?"
Ji Chen's almond-shaped eyes flickered slightly, and there was timidity on his delicate face.
"Chen'er didn't dare to hide it, Liu'er also saw it."
Seeing this, Liu Er also stood up and said.
"Replying to the Second Young Master, Liu Er also saw it. Just now on the West Lake, the First Young Master was carried into the carriage by a woman. The movements were very intimate."
Ji Ze's eyes moved and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Did you see what that woman looked like?"
Liu'er shook her head: "My lord, the woman had her back to us, so we didn't see her." Ji Ze pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes slightly.
His bright eyes glanced at everyone present, and there was a hint of seriousness on his kind face.
"Alright, this matter concerns the reputation of the palace, so it must not be spread out."
"Shut your mouths, everyone. If I find out, I will punish you severely!"
The servants were terrified: "Yes, Second Young Master."
Ji Chenyi said softly: "Don't worry, second brother, Chen'er will keep this matter a secret."
After Ji Ze left, Ji Chen's eyes darkened slightly.
Where is the timidity and respectfulness on that delicate face?
Liu Er was puzzled: "Third Young Master, why would we betray the eldest young master?"
No matter how bad the eldest son's reputation was, he had no connection with them, let alone any offense.
Why did the Third Young Master tell the Second Young Master about the Eldest Young Master’s affairs?
Ji Chen's almond-shaped eyes were curved, and her cherry lips were slightly curled in a cold manner.
"He didn't offend me, but it was because he got the attention of Sister Yuan."
Liu Er was stunned: "What does this have to do with the former deputy general?"
Ji Chen did not answer his doubts.
Seeing this, Liu'er didn't ask any more questions.
Beichen Palace
Di Ran held Ji Yunxie tightly and rubbed him affectionately.
"I have to go on a long journey in two days. You stay at the palace. I will leave Eleven and Twelve at the palace. If there is anything, I will look for them. Do you understand?"
Ji Yunxie was stunned: "Where are you going?"
Di Ran pinched his soft and tender face.
"I'm going to Jinling. I'll be back soon and bring you a gift."
Ji Yunxie, who was attacked on the face, didn't care for the moment, as his attention was all on the fact that Di Ran was about to leave.
"you……"
I have a lot of things to say, but I don’t know how to say them.
In the end, he only said: "Be careful on the road~"
Di Ran raised his eyebrows: "Just like that?"
Ji Yunxie was stunned: What else can I do?
Di Ran's face was slightly dark, and he seemed a little sulky.
