Chapter 247 Extra (First Release in Thailand): The Young Lady’s Blind Date

When Jiang Li was 26 years old, she gave birth to Ji Meng.

Little Ji Meng was doted on since she was born. Xue Zhao came back from afar just to see his niece. Situ Jiuyue couldn't leave, so she asked Xue Zhao to bring a whole box of gems from the ancient city of Molan as a gift to his little niece.

Master Jingxuan gave little Ji Meng the nickname Wanwan. Wenren Yao insisted on being Wanwan's godfather, but was ruthlessly rejected by Ji Heng. Even Xue Huaiyuan, who had always been a little old-fashioned, changed his temperament after having Wanwan. When Jiang Li saw Xue Huaiyuan half-lying on the ground playing with Wanwan with a rattle for the first time, she couldn't believe her eyes.

But it's not surprising that everyone treats her well, because Wanwan is such a lovable child. She was cute and adorable when she was little, and her appearance was just like a slap from Jiang Li, soft and cute. It's not an exaggeration to say that Ji Heng raised her as the apple of his eye, and she could get whatever she wanted.

This is true for grandfathers, godfathers, and uncles, not to mention biological fathers. Before Wanwan was five years old, what everyone saw most often was Ji Heng in red clothes holding a delicate little girl in his arms, appearing in various pastry shops, opera troupes, circus stages, and candy shops. Others said that Ji Heng had changed his temper. Sometimes when someone offended him and wanted to call for someone to beat them up, little Wanwan would just pull his sleeve and call out in a soft voice, "Daddy, can you please stop?"

Ji Heng would touch the little girl's head and say gently, "I'll do as you say."

Therefore, everyone gradually figured out the trick. In the Duke's Mansion, Duke Su was moody and there was no need to please him. The real masters to please were actually the Duke's wife and the eldest daughter. In this world, Duke Su could not refute the words of only two people, one was the Duke's wife and the other was the eldest daughter.

The Duke's wife Jiang Li was gentle and kind, but she was also principled. The eldest daughter was different. She was young and easy to coax. As long as you find some rare things that are not often seen in the capital, you can make her happy. When the eldest daughter is happy, the Duke will reward her. For a while, Xiao Wanwan was coaxed every day and lived a happier life than the princess.

Of course, she also knew the principle of returning a favor, and as long as she was happy, she would not hesitate to speak well of the other party in front of her father. So once the servants of the Duke's Mansion made a mistake and angered the master, the first person they went to ask for help was not the Duke Su, but Xiao Wanwan.

Wen Renyao had been here several times, so he figured out the trick. He gloated to Ji Heng, "I think your Duke's Mansion will sooner or later belong to Xiao Wanwan. Your words are useless."

"The Duke's Mansion originally belonged to her." Ji Heng stroked the folding fan gently, "Besides, what does it have to do with you?"

Wen Renyao left angrily.

However, the good days of everyone in the Duke's Mansion were gone forever after Xiao Wanwan turned ten years old.

When Ji Meng was a child, she looked like her mother, pure and lovely. As she grew older, after she came of age at the age of fifteen, her facial features developed and she looked very much like Ji Heng. Especially her eyes, which were so charming and seductive that she even had a red mole at the same position under her eyes as Ji Heng.

Such a beauty would be very eye-catching on a man, and it would be absolutely stunning on a woman. Jiang Li looked at her and occasionally felt worried, thinking that her beauty was too much, and she didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"What are you afraid of?" Ji Heng disagreed. "Is there anyone in the world who dares to covet her? Besides," he chuckled, "no one can make my daughter suffer."

This is true.

I wonder if the more obedient a girl is when she is young, the more different her temperament will be when she grows up. As Ji Meng grew older, she not only looked like her father, but also had a different temperament. She was not moody, but she was really eccentric. Everyone in the mansion had been teased by her. She was also good at martial arts. Ji Heng had someone give her a whip, which she usually kept at her waist. If she really encountered trouble, the whip was not easy to deal with. In addition, there was a Situ Jiuyue who sent poison and hidden weapons without hesitation. In terms of skills, she was able to protect herself.

But the result was that everyone in the capital knew that the young lady in the Duke of Su's mansion was beautiful, but she was also cunning, arrogant and domineering. Although she was beautiful, one could only look at her. Moreover, Ji Heng protected her so tightly that for a while, no one dared to even covet her.

This created an awkward situation: when other girls turned fifteen, the threshold would be worn down by the people who came to propose marriage. But when Ji Meng turned fifteen, no one dared to step on the threshold of the Duke's Mansion.

Jiang Li sat in the room, holding her chin with her hand, worried, and complained to Ji Heng: "Our family is so good, why is there no one to propose marriage?"

Ji Heng was startled, "Do you really want to get married Wanwan?"

"Not really." Jiang Li replied, "Wanwan is still young, but when I go out these few days, people keep asking me if I have a crush on someone, and I..."

When the ladies get together, those who have girls in the mansion will secretly ask about this. Whenever it comes to Jiang Li, she can't speak. How can she say that there is no one she likes, let alone no one she can choose from?
"What does this have to do with them?"

"I don't think there's anything wrong, but I'm afraid Wanwan has other ideas in her mind," Jiang Li sighed, "This child has grown up, and she doesn't tell me her worries. I don't know what she thinks in her heart."

Would Ji Meng feel depressed if there wasn't even a young man who appreciated him?

"How can an ordinary person be worthy of my daughter, Ji Heng? Ah Li," Ji Heng asked her, "When you were fifteen, were you also troubled by this matter?"

Jiang Li shook her head: "When I was fifteen, my father drove away all the people who came to propose marriage."

Ji Heng: "...very popular."

They are already an old couple, and this guy still has time to be jealous. Jiang Li was speechless and pushed him: "Next month is Wanwan's fifteenth birthday. No, you have to find some young people to come and support our Wanwan."

Ji Heng's mouth twitched: "What did you say?" Jiang Li was domineering for once: "Never mind, you can reject them later. We have to let the people in the capital know that there are many young men who like us, but they just look down on us."

"..." Ji Heng asked: "Are you serious?"

Jiang Li was very sure: "Really."

……

I don't know what tricks Ji Heng used, but on Jiang Li's fifteenth birthday, many families in the capital really came to propose marriage.

There was the only son of the Grand Secretary of the Zhongji Palace, the young master of the Deputy Imperial Censor, the brother of the Tongzhengshisi, and the eldest grandson of the Imperial College. There were all kinds of people, young and old, both civil and military. They all gathered at the gate of the Duke's Mansion. The housekeeper deliberately did not let them in at once, but made them wait outside so that people outside could see them.

Most of the people who came here also knew why the other party came back. They smiled awkwardly at each other, and didn't know what to think about Duke Su. I have seen people being forced to do things, but I have never seen people being forced to propose marriage.

What is this called!
Jiang Li heard this in the room and pushed Ji Heng angrily: "I asked you to find a few outstanding ones, just for show. Why did you find so many? This is not a show, and the place needs to be lively!"

Ji Heng was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Since we are going to do it, we should do it with a big fanfare, so that others can see how popular Wanwan is."

He always flaunts himself, which gives Jiang Li a headache. But she can't send him back, so she has to bite the bullet and continue the show, saying, "Forget it, there are so many young talents, maybe Wanwan will really take a fancy to one of them."

Hearing this, Ji Heng immediately turned hostile: "How can that be? It's just a show, don't take it seriously."

Jiang Li: "..."

Just as they had agreed before, Ji Heng rejected all those who came to "propose marriage" one by one, saying that Ji Meng was still young and did not plan to get married.

Everyone who came was confused. It was he who had hinted that if they didn't come to propose marriage, they would be in trouble. After everyone at home comforted their weeping children and grandchildren and came to propose marriage with the determination of a hero, it was also he who flatly rejected them. What did this mean? Was Duke Su playing a trick on them?

This is really unreasonable!

Regardless, Ji Meng's 15th birthday was a "glorious" one. Everyone in the capital knew that the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion was incredibly charming, and young talents came to propose marriage one after another, but unfortunately her parents loved their daughter so much that they rejected all of them. This way, when no one steps into the Duke's Mansion in the future, there will be a reason.

But unexpectedly, a few days later, the sons and brothers of those families who had come to propose marriage a few days ago were broken into by masked men while they were sleeping at home at night, and they were beaten up and then left. The masked men came and left quickly, and the government office did not catch the thieves.

Jiang Li and Ji Heng were drinking tea in the house.

Jiang Li held her forehead with her hand: "Is everything settled at the government office?"

Ji Heng: "Okay."

"This kid is really too much of a mess," Jiang Li said, both angry and amused. "How could she sneak into someone's house and beat them up in the middle of the night? Those teenagers are so innocent? It's a light punishment to confine her to copy books at home. It's all your fault for spoiling her!"

Who would have thought that Ji Meng would actually go to the marriage proposal's house at night and beat someone up? What kind of thing is this!

"Blame me, blame me." Seeing his wife angry, Ji Heng had to comfort her. "However," he put his arm around Jiang Li's shoulders and coaxed her, "Wan Wan is so resistant to marriage proposals, and it seems that she is not sad or inferior because of this. Let's talk about this matter in a few years, and don't do this kind of thing in the future."

The daughter of Duke Su actually had to rely on threatening others to propose marriage. No one would believe it if she told others about it! Ji Heng felt aggrieved when he thought about it. Fortunately, his daughter still fought hard and beat up those people. Thinking about it this way, he felt that the feeling of depression in his chest was slightly relieved.

He was very satisfied that his daughter had not been raised in vain, as she really had the style of her father. He would have to reward Wanwan well later.

"Let her be." Jiang Li waved her hands weakly, "I don't care anymore."

Ji Heng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Very good.
