Yaoyao looked at her firm gaze and understood what she meant. She frowned and said rationally: "But a strong and twisted melon is not sweet. Even if you like Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi may not have that intention for you. After all, he is so many years older than you, and today is the first time he has seen you since you grew up, so it should be difficult for him to treat you as a girl."
Hearing this, Jill's beautiful eyes darkened, and her fingers on her knees tightened hard.
She had thought about this too.
Yaoyao sighed, "If you really like Xiao Qi and will not marry him, we can ask your father to issue a decree to recruit Xiao Qi as your consort. But Xiao Qi may not be happy."
Jill was silent for a long time, then nodded, "I understand."
Yaoyao looked at her hesitantly, "Then what do you want to do next?"
Jill rested her head on her shoulder and said a little tiredly: "I can't do anything, let alone ask Father to give an order."
Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She was afraid that Ji'er would do something extreme for Xiao Qi and end up hurting herself.
She just wants Jill to be happy and have a worry-free life.
She patted her sister's back tenderly and said, "It's very late. Go to sleep."
"Okay." Jill responded and lay down on the bed.
Yaoyao thought for a while and said, "You can sleep in a little bit. We two sisters will sleep together tonight."
"Um."
Seeing the two sisters' eyes drooping, Mrs. Chang closed the door and left the bedroom.
Conquer the South General's Mansion.
This year's Zhengnan General's Mansion has gained a little more popularity because of the general's return.
Because tonight is New Year's Eve, Butler Chen hasn't fallen asleep yet. He carries a lantern and goes around to inspect.
While passing by the general's courtyard, I suddenly heard a strange noise.
He was startled, and quickly raised the lantern to look, and saw a figure rolling down from the roof and falling into the snow.
Butler Chen thought he had entered the Xiaoxiao Primary School and was about to greet someone when he saw the man standing up slowly from the snow. He was wearing a thin middle coat and had long hair hanging loosely on his shoulders and back.
Through the lights in the corridor, he finally saw the man's face clearly.
"General—" he exclaimed and hurried over.
As I got closer, I saw that the general's clothes were covered in blood, which was bright red and seemed to be bleeding out.
"Are you injured?"
"It's okay." Chu Qi covered the wound and entered the house with a somewhat frivolous step.
Butler Chen did not dare to neglect and quickly went to invite the doctor.
When the doctor invited him over, Chu Qi had already changed into a clean middle coat. He was leaning on the bedpost, his handsome face was pale, and his whole person was not energetic.
After checking his wound, the doctor took a breath and asked, "Why is it so badly injured?" As he spoke, he quickly took out the wound medicine and gauze and bandaged him to stop the bleeding.
Butler Chen stood aside and was extremely surprised when he saw Chu Qi's wounds.
In the evening, the general was drunk in the palace, and the emperor sent someone to bring him back.
At that time, he personally helped the person into the house. The general was already drunk and unconscious, but he was not injured. How could he be injured like this after only half a night
Moreover, the general's martial arts skills are unfathomable. Who can hurt the general so seriously
Steward Chen had doubts and wanted to ask, but seeing the general's expressionless face and keeping away from strangers, he felt a little timid, so he had to give up.
After working for a long time, the doctor bandaged Chu Qi's wounds.
He wiped the sweat from his head and said with relief: "Fortunately, the general is physically strong and has deep internal strength to protect him. Otherwise, how could he survive such a deep wound?" There was a hint of admiration in his words.
The general looked young, but during the bandaging process, his expression remained unchanged and he didn't say a word. He must be a persevering person.
Chu Qi lowered his head and glanced at the severely injured area, his expression complex and difficult to distinguish.
