Although Ji Ling was far less tall than Lord Richard, his contemptuous eyes and condescending expression still made this tall middle-aged male aristocrat turn red, and his eyes were full of anger as if he wanted to eat people!
But Ji Ling wasn't afraid at all, and even raised his chin in the mood to let out a provocative sneer.
A humble lord only dared to bully a commoner. He was nothing in front of his father, so he expected that the other party would not dare to do anything. Otherwise, with the original owner's usual arrogant and domineering personality, if he didn't have a strong backer, he would have been beaten to death early
This is the aristocratic hierarchy of the imperial nobility.
Lord Richard's face turned red and white, and his teeth were about to be crushed. The wine dripped down his face, he was embarrassed and humiliated...but he finally endured it.
He didn't dare to touch Ji Ling.
Not only because Ji Ling is the precious and only son of Grand Duke Ji Ting and Mrs. Marina, but also because of a rumor that has recently been widely circulated among the nobles of the empire, His Excellency Grand Duke Carlos also loves Ji Ling very much.
At the same time being held in the palm of two grand dukes, one of them is the bloody and terrifying Grand Duke Carlos...
Give him a hundred guts, and he wouldn't dare to express his dissatisfaction with Ji Ling. Those ordinary civilians are pariahs in his eyes, but in front of high-ranking aristocrats like Ji Ling... Isn't he also a pariah in another sense
After a while, Lord Richard showed a twisted and humble smile, bowed and said, "Sorry, I didn't know he was yours."
Ji Ling snorted and raised his eyebrows: "You know now."
Lord Richard lowered his head in shame, and said, "Yes, I was wrong today. I beg your forgiveness for my ignorant behavior."
Ji Ling glanced at him, seeing cold sweat streaming down Lord Richard's forehead.
If he can't get Ji Ling's understanding today, as long as Ji Ling arranges a few words for himself in front of Grand Duke Ji Ting or Carlos at will, he will have nowhere to go, or die without a place to bury him.
Seeing this tall middle-aged man trembling slightly and sweating profusely, Ji Ling finally waved his hands in disgust and said, "Get out."
If Lord Richard was granted amnesty, this meant he didn't care about it. He bowed respectfully to Ji Ling, and quickly left this place that made him feel extremely ashamed!
Ji Ling looked at his back as he left in a hurry, and smiled contemptuously.
Another day of bullying... Really fragrant.
After dealing with Lord Richard, Ji Ling turned back triumphantly, but a pair of Shang Wenyan's eyes were startled by the scorching temperature in his black eyes.
This man who has always been deeply thoughtful, invisible, and never let people see his emotions, looks at him at this moment... but it seems to contain some kind of extremely intense and complex emotions, which are so profound that it makes people jump in fear !
Ji Ling:? ?
I did the same thing in my last life. My behavior should be completely in your calculations, but what the hell is it that you are so moved now? !
Is it necessary to act so realistically
After what happened with Carlos, Ji Ling was very sensitive to these anomalies that were different from the previous life, so he glanced at Wen Yan warily.
Decided to finish the plot early and flash people.
So Ji Ling put his hands behind his back, glanced at the direction Lord Richard was leaving, and sneered contemptuously: "What an idiot, I don't even understand the simple truth that beating a dog depends on the owner."
This tone, look, and posture seem to be talking about Lord Richard, but in fact Wen Yan is not treated as an equal person at all!
This is also the reason why Wen Yan can use the original owner without hesitation, because the original owner stands up for him, and it is nothing more than Wen Yan coaxing him to be happy. In essence, the way he treats Wen Yan is no different from other nobles. He stood up for Wen Yan only based on the mentality that "beating a dog depends on the owner", but he didn't know that in Wen Yan's eyes, he was the ridiculous prey.
Stupid without knowing it.
Ji Ling completely followed his own personality, and after doing good deeds, he began to desperately seek hatred... In this way, Wen Yan will develop according to the plot, and become friends with Ning Yu in the later stage. On the surface, he pretends to help him deal with Ning Yu, but in fact he Yin Feng and Yin Bi helped Ning Yu deal with him.
After Ji Ling finished speaking, he glanced at Wen Yan lightly, feeling that he had already acquired the essence of being a dandy.
Usually, Wen Yan would never show displeasure in the face of his subconscious contempt and humiliation, but would just leave respectfully as always. The original owner never noticed anything wrong, but Ji Ling knew that this was a kind of disdain from the bottom of his heart.
However, this time Ji Ling waited for a long time, but Wen Yan did not make a sound.
Just when he was a little confused, Wen Yan suddenly looked away respectfully, lowered his head slightly and said, "You're right."
Ji Ling: "...?"
Wen Yan looked at the proud and bright face of the blond boy, and there seemed to be stars shining in those beautiful blue eyes, which were countless times more dazzling than the eternal stars in the universe... His inner emotions were surging, and he lowered his eyes to cover up the A burning gaze of greed that could hardly be concealed.
Ji Ling is still here.
Like the previous life, it appeared in front of him like an angel descending from the sky.
He thought that he would never have the chance to see him again.
It's all my fault that I didn't stop him that day. If I had stopped him then... would the ending be different
Wen Yan closed his eyes in pain, recalling the events of his previous life. When he finally rushed over, he only had time to see a cold corpse, and those beautiful eyes would never open again.
In the ten years that followed, he never forgot that scene.
In countless nights, I was awakened by nightmares.
The youth's arrogant, arrogant, laughing, angry faces... each face is so clearly engraved in his memory, and will not fade away with the passage of time.
At that time, he finally realized that his feelings for him were not just a base and selfish possessive desire, he longed for him and missed him so much... just because he fell in love with him unknowingly.
He has done all the tricks in his life, playing with people's hearts, thinking that he can see through everything, but in fact, the authorities are so obsessed... It's ridiculous that he can't even understand his own heart.
He couldn't even understand the kindness of a simple boy.
Although he always said unforgiving words, Ji Ling was not really like those ugly nobles. It's just that he has lived in a world that doesn't respect civilians since he was a child. No one taught him how to respect a person, but even so, he still stands up for himself time and time again, extending his hand to himself... If he is really like Like those nobles, they really looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts, so why did they do this
He just didn't know how to express his kindness, and used arrogance to cover up his kind heart.
He is completely different from those nobles in essence.
Even though he was born in such a world, he still never let his pure white heart be stained by the darkness of the outside world.
But it took him a long time to understand such a simple truth after his death.
Wen Yan's chest heaved slightly, concealing the self-deprecating pain in his eyes, took a deep breath, raised his eyes again, only the blackness like the deep starry sky remained in his black eyes, and said softly: "I will send you back."
Although Wen Yan quickly returned to normal, Ji Ling still felt hairy when he remembered the look in his eyes just now, and just wanted to get out early, so he waved his hand and pretended not to care, and said, "No need."
Wen Yan looked at him persistently, and insisted again: "Please allow me to send you back to show my gratitude."
Ji Ling: "..."
It would be embarrassing to refuse any further.
Ji Ling had no choice but to walk back in a daze, not daring to look at the people around him along the way, and finally returned to his bedroom, but before he had time to chase away Wen Yan, he followed him in.
Ji Ling: "..."
You are not busy participating in your political struggle today, and you are not in a hurry to curry favor with my father, so what's wrong with you getting involved with me? ! Don't feel like wasting time? Ji Ling rolled his eyes and thought of a solution again. He sat down on the bed and said coldly in an impatient tone: "I'm going to rest, you can go out."
Wen Yan smiled slightly, and then without warning... knelt down on one knee in front of Ji Ling in an almost surrendering posture, lowered his head, and said in a low and hoarse voice, "I will serve you."
Ji Ling: "!"
Wen Yan lowered his eyelashes.
In my last life, I thought this kind of feeling was just a result of possessiveness. I longed to conquer you, who is high above you, beautiful and dazzling. In order to get you, I would betray you and sell you, just to pull you down from the altar one day, trample you under my feet, look at you who are sacred and inviolable, and submit to a pariah whom you despise.
My heart is so ugly and dirty, my eyes are blinded by inferiority and jealousy, I don't want to realize that I actually love you... I almost did something that I regret for the rest of my life.
If you hadn't died, I might not even be able to understand my true intentions until now.
When I understand.
But there was no chance to make up for it.
That pain has tormented me for a whole ten years... At that time, I never expected that such a self would have a chance of redemption.
There is a chance to do it all over again to make up for the regrets of the previous life.
Ji Ling stared blankly at the silver-haired man kneeling in front of him on one knee. The man straightened his back, lowered his head slightly, his silver eyelashes drooped and trembled, his light-colored thin lips were slightly pursed, and he lifted his head gently. Put your feet on his knees...
It was as if, it was really just a loyal slave serving his master.
When the boots were taken off, Wen Yan's slightly cool fingertips accidentally brushed over his ankles, Ji Ling was shocked suddenly, and immediately woke up from the extremely confusing illusion in front of him! Followed by scalp-tingling dread!
No matter how respectful and submissive Wen Yan's posture is now, Ji Ling will never forget what a terrifying villain he is!
The more obedient he is now, the more ruthless revenge may be brewing in his heart.
Ji Ling, who has read the whole book, is very clear about how sinister and deep this person is. It is said that after he succeeded in the general election, many nobles protested with their real names and demanded a re-election. It is their biggest concession, they cannot tolerate a lowly commoner becoming the speaker!
But it didn't take long for the nobles who led the protest to die and exile, and finally ended the controversy with the support of Grand Duke Carlos.
After Wen Yan won the seat of the speaker, he had to face all kinds of infighting and conspiracy, but he never lost. Until Ji Ling died in his last life, Wen Yan was still alive and well, and he could even be said to be powerful.
As a commoner, he finally surpassed countless imperial nobles... There are only a few words in the book, but it is actually bloody.
Moreover, the description of Wen Yan in the article is also quite mysterious. He is Ning Yu's friend, but he seems to be colluding with Carlos secretly. No one has ever known what he really wants.
But those who stood in front of him were all dead.
Ji Ling thought in his heart that he had worked so hard for acting, and let such a ruthless character kneel in front of him to take off his shoes. Although he looked high and high at the moment, he had the feeling that he was facing a beast that could choose to devour him at any time. Maybe the next moment... he would be sent back to the resurrection point.
Ji Ling's lips trembled. Considering the serious consequences of kneeling down and begging for mercy and setting up a complete collapse, he endured the horrific chill with difficulty, kicked Wen Yan on the shoulder lightly, turned his eyes and said, "Okay, you go..."
But before he could take it back, Wen Yan grabbed his foot in the palm of his hand.
Ji Ling's expression froze, and he thought to himself that I was already so cautious that I didn't dare to really kick at all, so you can't help it!
In the next moment, Wen Yan lowered his head and gently kissed Ji Ling's instep, with a devout expression as if he was treating his only god and belief, and his voice was gentle and hoarse: "Be careful not to hurt your feet."
Ji Ling: "???"
This move by Wen Yan has already completely froze him, his eyes are starved and he can't speak.
Wen Yan slowly raised his head, looking at Ji Ling's dazed and cute face, a slightly curved smile appeared on his lips, and deep nostalgia in his dark eyes.
How could he misunderstand the young man's kindness again? Apart from being able to say a few unforgiving words, when did he really despise and insult him? For example, this time... Even when he got impatient and wanted to drive him away, it was just such a light kick. Tsundere, awkward and cute, it made his cold heart warm.
Wen Yan slowly let go and stood up: "You rest, I will take my leave first."
Before leaving, he gently closed the door for Ji Ling.
Then he stood alone with his back to the door, raised his hand and looked at his palm, which still had the warmth of a teenager.
The moment he touched the boy, he wished he could hug him into his arms desperately... but kiss his eyes, nose tip, and lips.
He always thought that he was restrained enough and tolerant enough.
But just now, he knew that if he didn't let go of his hand in time, he might not be able to control himself and do something that frightened the young man.
So he left decisively.
Now is not the time, expressing his heart now will only make him afraid of loathing himself, and finally get farther and farther away from himself.
Wen Yan's hand hanging by his side slowly tightened, and the look in his eyes was persistent and deep.
In order to be qualified to stand by your side one day... I will definitely go higher and farther.
And becoming the speaker is just the first step.
…
At night, Ji Ling dreamed that Wen Yan was kneeling on his knees to take off his shoes, and kissed his jio back respectfully and piously, then raised his head, but instantly showed a sinister smile, and said to him ruthlessly: Everyone who has offended me , will not end well. Then Ji Ling looked down, and saw that the jio he had just kissed began to rot rapidly, exposing thick bones, and immediately screamed in horror!
Ji Ling suddenly opened his eyes, dripping with cold sweat... I'm going, what a terrible nightmare!
Is this what you think by day and dream by night
Ji Ling couldn't fall asleep anymore, and said to the system with lingering fear: [System, what do you think he thinks today?]
System: [I don't know.]
Ji Ling: [Don't you think your answer is too perfunctory?]
The system sincerely said: [I really don't know what he thinks, if I can know, I don't need the host to do the task.]
Ji Ling: […]
After a while, Ji Lingyouyou said again: [Then do you know why his behavior this time is different from the previous life? Could it be the butterfly effect again?]
The system replied: [It is possible.]
The system thought for a while, and then added: [It's okay, it's a big deal to start all over again.]
Ji Ling: […]
Hehe, he shouldn't have any expectations for this hot chicken system!
Ji Ling woke up the next day with two dark circles under his eyes, even when he was eating breakfast, he was a little absent-minded, and the spoon poked the bowl again and again.
Seeing Ji Ling's appearance, Mrs. Marina said distressedly, "What's wrong with you, baby?"
Ji Ling showed a forced smile and said, "It's nothing."
Mrs. Marina was still very worried. She always felt that Ji Ling had something on her mind, but if the child grew up and didn’t want to say it, she couldn’t force it, so she said: “If there is something unhappy, you must tell mom, okay? ?”
Ji Ling nodded obediently, but still refused to say anything firmly.
Mrs. Marina and Duke Ji Ting looked at each other, shook their heads and stopped talking.
Ji Ling didn't want to be looked at by his parents with concern and worry, so he slipped out quickly after breakfast, thinking of the more abnormal behaviors of the bosses recently, and his heart was filled with sorrow that he had nowhere to confide in.
Is it easier to say that the second brush is easier
I have already gone through the plot as promised, and the task is easy to complete
Why do it all over again and feel like I have turned on hard mode? !
fall!
Ji Ling sadly picked up the snacks that Carlos gave and ate them. At this time, he could only turn his grief and anger into appetite.
…
Although Hardy was born in Emperor Star and had the status of an "imperial nobleman", among the huge number of imperial nobles, not every nobleman has hereditary titles and rich territories.
On the Emperor Star, there are many people like Hardy who seem to have a superior background, but without any privileges and family glory. They belong to the bottom of the imperial nobility, and their living conditions are not much better than ordinary civilians.
For an ordinary aristocrat like Hardy, getting a chance to work in the Duke's Mansion is already considered a good job.
Because many powerful high-level imperial nobles disdain to use those lowly civilians to serve them, and prefer to hire people with noble status like them to serve them. Therefore, compared with ordinary people, it is easier for them to get the opportunity to work in a wealthy family and become a more decent servant.
Hardy has been working in the Duke's Mansion for a long time.
Recently, he often came to Ji Ling's place, because almost every day, Grand Duke Carlos gave gifts to Ji Ling, and Hardy would always send them to the young master himself.
Every time Hardy looked at these gifts, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. They are both imperial nobles, but nobles and nobles are also very different...
Today, he received a gift sent by Grand Duke Carlos from the guard at the gate again, and was about to deliver it to the young master when he was stopped by a tall, silver-haired man on the way.
Hardy recognized the other party, and envious and complicated expressions suddenly appeared in his eyes. Wen Yan, as a senior evolutionary from a commoner background, was not only lucky to enter the parliament and became a member of parliament, but also had some face in front of the young master and His Excellency the Duke. His status seemed to be higher than ordinary nobles like himself.
Although he was a little jealous, Wen Yan always knew how to behave, treated them with courtesy and courtesy, and occasionally gave them some gifts, which satisfied Hardy's vanity, so he asked patiently and politely: "What's the matter with you?" ?"
Wen Yan glanced at the gift box in his hand, and asked with a smile, "Is this a gift for the young master?"
Hardy said: "Yes, this is a gift from Grand Duke Carlos to the young master. He has been sending gifts every day recently."
A cold look flashed across Wen Yan's eyes, and he asked again: "Sent by Grand Duke Carlos? He didn't seem to be so attentive before."
Hardy chuckled, and said: "Yeah, who knows why he suddenly fell in love with the young master? Last time the young master's coming-of-age ceremony, he even gave a blue sea star! That incident caused a sensation in the entire Emperor Star, and now who doesn't know His Excellency Carlos's regard for the young master..." He lowered his voice, "Many people outside said that this is because His Excellency Carlos and His Excellency Ji Ting have formed an alliance, and they don't know whether it is true or not."
Wen Yan showed a pensive look, and smiled after a while: "So, whether it's true or not, it's not something we should worry about... I'm just about to go to the young master. You give me the things, and I'll send them there for you."
Hardy did not doubt that he was there, and handed the things to him with a smile, and said, "Okay, then I will trouble you."
Wen Yan smiled slightly: "You're welcome."
He watched Hardy leave. After a long time, he weighed the box in his hand, his eyes slowly turning cold.
After I was reborn, I rushed back from other places non-stop, hesitating how to face Ji Ling, and I didn’t have time to pay attention to other things for a while. I woke up this morning to check, but found that many things that happened on Emperor Star were completely different from the direction of the previous life. different.
Carlos not only appeared at Ji Ling's coming-of-age ceremony, but also blatantly presented a big gift.
What caused Carlos to make such a change
If you are reborn, then others...why not
Wen Yan stayed where he was for a moment, then turned and left with the gift box.
But the direction to go was not where Ji Ling was, but quietly left Ji Mansion through the back door. Thinking of what Carlos did in the previous life, and the betrayal and injury to Ji Ling, Wen Yan's phoenix eyes flashed a cold light, his thin lips were pressed tightly, and he gave orders to the suspension vehicle operating system word by word.
"Go to the residence of Duke Carlos."
