Chapter 6 My Father Comes to Visit

Ji Anyu felt more and more relaxed. She gently pushed Shen Jing away, stood up and left Shen Jing's arms.

"Er Gou, I can't go with you yet."

Shen Jing frowned. Did she really want to stay here and be a widow of the Wu family for the rest of her life?
After Ji Anyu had eaten and drunk his fill, he planned to find a place to take a rest. As soon as he placed his hand on the door, he suddenly thought of the day when Shen Jing was seriously injured.

She looked back and smiled, "Go home early when you're healed."

Shen Jing cannot die until she marries into Prince Zhong's mansion.

Shen Jing's main power is in the capital. This place is poor and remote, and he doesn't have many people around him.

If there is another assassination attempt, even though Shen Jing is a great martial arts master, he will eventually run out of strength.

Zhusha saw Ji Anyu staring at his own young master and quickly blocked his gaze with his body.

The prince is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament, so it is inevitable that he will be coveted by women.

They went out to do some business, but they didn't expect that the shrew would take a fancy to the prince.

If the shrew persists, it will delay their work.

Long before Zhusha used his body to block it, Shen Jing saw Ji Anyu looking at him without blinking.

Shen Jing is self-aware and doesn't think Ji Anyu is attracted to him.

Instead, he felt strange. Ji Anyu looked at him as if he was a dying person.

Those eyes contained sympathy, pity, and even a hint of excitement.

Ji Anyu had no idea of what the master and servant were thinking. He sneered inwardly when he saw Zhu Sha looking wary.

Shen Jing has seen countless women, so why is he afraid of women looking at him? Haha.

She opened the door and walked out.

"My Lord, Miss Ji has a bad temper, why should we care about her?"

Shen Jing glanced at the door for a moment, then looked away indifferently.

"I have a good temper?"

"Ah... Of course that's good."

Zhusha has followed Shen Jing since he was a child. In Zhusha's eyes, everything about Shen Jing is good.

Shen Jing was actually willing to give Ji Anyu the position of concubine, which caught Zhu Sha by surprise.

According to Ji Anyu's status, the Queen Mother would not agree to Ji Anyu becoming the Crown Prince's consort. Making Ji Anyu a concubine would already be considered as marrying above her station.

"My Lord, Duke Ji will be here soon. I have already arranged for someone to avoid him."

"Well, we leave immediately."

Shen Jing rubbed the brim of the cup, and Ji Anyu's face suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Do you think Ji Anyu looks like Duke Ji?"

Zhusha was stunned for a moment, then compared the two people together, and suddenly his face was filled with shock.

……

Ji Anyu took Lin Yunfang's money and went to stay in the inn. She did not hide her tracks, but waited leisurely in the inn for her "good father" to come and find her.

Two days later, Ji Xiuxu arrived late. He appeared on the first floor of the inn, looking at the guest room where Ji Anyu was staying. He was so nervous that he walked with his hands and feet trembling.

"Daduan, do you think...will she recognize me?"

Daduan said respectfully, "Duke, you are the second young lady's biological father, how could you not acknowledge her? Besides, the second young lady has suffered so much, she must want to return to her biological parents."

Ji Xiuxu nodded, and thinking about what Daduan had found out in the past few days, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his daughter.

If he had stayed by his wife's side when she gave birth, his daughter would not have been harmed by the villain.

Ji Xiuxu went upstairs and knocked on the door gently.

The sweet voice of a girl soon came from the room.

"Who?"

"I..." Ji Xiuxu was silent. How should he tell his daughter that he was her biological father?

Seeing that the Duke was unusually timid, Daduan, as the Duke's personal bodyguard, took the initiative to speak to dispel the strange atmosphere.

"Second Miss, your biological father is here to take you home."

Ji Anyu opened the door and looked at the person in confusion.

"My father?"

Ji Xiuxu saw that Ji Anyu was thin and small, and it was obvious that she was often not full, and his eyes immediately turned red.

"Child, you have suffered. Daddy will take you home." Ji Anyu's heart was calm. She was no longer the simple little girl in her previous life. She would no longer be moved to tears by a caring word from her father.

Ji Xiuxu showed kindness only when she had no conflict with Ji Yunchu.

Right now, Ji Anyu only needs to pretend to act with them.

"Are you really my father? Why did you come to pick me up now? I...I was betrothed to a fool by my adoptive mother, and that fool died a few days ago. My mother-in-law hates me, and I dare not go back to my in-laws' house. My adoptive mother also broke off all ties with me in public."

Speaking of Lin Yunfang and others, Ji Xiuxu's face turned cold.

He originally wanted to treat Lin Yunfang well because she had raised their daughter for sixteen years.

But when he heard that Lin Yunfang forced his daughter to marry and then did not consider the mother-daughter relationship and added insult to injury in court, the gratitude in his heart instantly disappeared.

"Anyu, don't be afraid, Dad is here. With Dad here, no one can bully you!"

Ji Anyu shook her head with tears in her eyes.

"Dad is already old and has been running around looking for me to come home. I don't want to burden him."

When Ji Xiuxu heard his daughter calling him dad, he smiled happily and the frost on his face melted away.

He couldn't help but said lovingly, "Anyu, don't talk nonsense. You are my daughter, you can't be blamed, it's my duty to help you, don't be afraid."

"But the people I offended are great nobles in the capital. Daddy, please don't get into trouble with them because of me. I don't want your life to be in danger."

Ji Xiuxu was completely confused and glanced sideways at Daduan.

When did his daughter come into contact with people in the capital? How come he had never heard of it?

Ji Xiuxu didn't take Ji Anyu's words to heart. He just thought that Ji Anyu was making a fuss and said with a relaxed expression.

"Daddy is Duke Ji, he can protect you, don't worry."

Ji Anyu was shocked.

"Ah, the person who harmed me is in Duke Ji's Mansion!"

"What?" Ji Xiuxu was stunned.

Ji Anyu quickly turned around and went back to the house, and with trembling hands, handed the letter and banknotes to Ji Xiuxu.

"This was given to me by my adoptive mother. She conspired with the Jiguo Mansion to murder me." Ji Anyu covered her face with her hands and cried softly.

Ji Xiuxu saw that the banknote indeed had the seal of Duke Ji's Mansion, and the handwriting in the letter was written by someone he was very familiar with.

His temple throbbed uncontrollably.

This concerns the reputation of Duke Ji’s Mansion.

"Hey, Anyu, let's go inside and talk."

"Okay." A hint of sarcasm flashed across Ji Anyu's eyes.

Ji Xiuxu couldn't believe it, but the evidence was right in front of him and he had no choice but to believe it.

The handwriting was clearly written by his other daughter, Ji Yunchu.

Although Ji Yunchu is not his biological daughter, but over the years, under the care of his wife, Ji Yunchu is like the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion.

No one doubted that Ji Yunchu was adopted by him and his wife.

Now, the Queen likes Ji Yunchu and wants to make her the Crown Princess.

Ji Xiuxu saw that his biological daughter Ji Anyu looked pale and thin, and her every move was petty.

The prince would certainly look down on her, let alone catch the queen's eye.

One is his biological daughter, and the other can enable the Duke's Mansion to continue to prosper.

Ji Xiuxu doesn't want them to fight openly or secretly.

He thought about it and decided to continue to protect Ji Yunchu's image and make excuses for her.

"Anyu, maybe this is a misunderstanding. Come back with me and you'll find out the truth once you ask."

"Ah."

Ji Anyu lowered her eyelashes dejectedly and laughed in her heart. She knew that Ji Xiuxu would choose Ji Yunchu.

Ji Xiuxu saw that his daughter was in a bad mood.

"Come on, Daddy will take you to settle the score with Lin Yunfang!"

Ji Anyu's eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously, as if she had let down her guard against Ji Xiuxu's arrival and was left with only full dependence on him.

Ji Xiuxu's heart suddenly softened, and he had to avenge his daughter!
