Chapter 183 Salute Me
"Why are you here? What are you doing here?"

There was a hint of gnashing of teeth in Ji Zunxing's words.

In the street where Ji Chenxing lives, the people living in the nearby houses are either rich or noble, and none of them are easy to mess with.

That is why, although it was ten o'clock in the morning, the streets were a bit deserted when Ji Chenxing came out.

Most people would not walk along this street when they have nothing to do, for fear of offending those powerful people and end up in trouble.

There was no one on the road, and Ji Zunxing's eyes were focused on Ji Chenxing.

He has disliked Ji Chenxing for more than a year or two, so much so that he has a conditioned reflex when he sees Ji Chenxing and can't put on a good face.

Before Ji Chenxing could say anything, Qiuyue stood up first and said, "How dare you! How dare you be so rude to my princess?"

After Qiuyue finished speaking, Ji Chenxing also looked at Ji Zunxing with interest, wanting to see how this person would react, whether he would salute him or do something else.

Ji Zunxing did not disappoint Ji Chenxing.

He looked around and made sure that there were not many people on the street. Not only did he not greet Ji Chenxing, but he also started cursing at Qiuyue.

"Little girl, do you know where you came from?"

Ji Zunxing was a martial artist. When he got angry, his face turned red and his neck became thick. His voice was also quite loud, which frightened Qiuyue so much that she stood there in a daze.

Qiuyue was indeed a maid from the Ji Mansion. At that time, Shen Ruyan gave Qiuyue to Ji Chenxing and never planned to take Qiuyue back.

Qiuyue was not stupid. She realized early on that beside Shen Ruyan, she was at most a second-class maid. It would be better for her to follow Ji Chenxing and be a personal maid, which would at least be considered a first-class maid.

Moreover, she has also witnessed Ji Chenxing's strength. How could she suffer any injustice following such a master?

But Qiuyue didn't expect that the eldest lady, who looked gentle on weekdays, would actually have the intention to kill Ji Chenxing.

Not to mention that Ji Chenxing was completely unprepared for Shen Ruyan, even Qiuyue herself, who had lived in the Ji Mansion for so many years, had no idea that Shen Ruyan had so many evil thoughts.

Ever since Ji Chenxing passed away, Ji Zunxing despised her for having served Ji Chenxing and said that she was unlucky.

Ji Zunxing didn't care about Qiuyue's life or death, and sent Qiuyue to do the dirtiest and most tiring work, with an attitude of "work her to death as long as she doesn't die."

Fortunately, Ji Chenxing not only survived, but also had a live broadcast. When the emperor issued an edict to confer the title of princess on Ji Chenxing, Qiuyue secretly ran away from the mansion and begged the nanny of the princess's mansion to take her in.

Fortunately, the nanny was a little afraid of Ji Chenxing and worried that she would not be able to serve her well, so she agreed to Qiuyue's request, took Qiuyue's indenture contract from the general's mansion, and took in the girl.

Faced with Ji Zunxing's scolding, Qiuyue was stunned for just a moment, and then her momentum rose.

Because of Ji Zunxing's identity, Qiuyue would not conflict with Ji Zunxing. After all, no matter how high Ji Chenxing's identity was, Qiuyue was just a maid.

"Miss."

Qiuyue knew that she could not overstep her authority, so she handed Ji Zunxing over to Ji Chenxing.

Ji Chenxing nodded and motioned Qiuyue to stand a little behind him.

"General Ji, oh, no, you should be a lieutenant general now, right?"

Ji Chenxing smiled and told Ji Zunxing’s current official position.

Although the title of Lieutenant General is followed by the word "General", this official position is only an auxiliary position of the "General", and its rank is around the fifth rank. Compared with Ji Zunxing's previous official position, it is really far inferior.

Ji Chenxing did not forget that Ji Zunxing's most precious thing was his official position. Since Ji Zunxing was causing trouble for her first, she naturally knew where Ji Zunxing's most painful point was.

As expected, after hearing this, Ji Zunxing's face immediately darkened.

"The Emperor remembered your kindness in saving him in the past, so he didn't take away your general's house. Lord Ji, don't you really think that you are still General Ji now?"

Ji Chenxing's words seemed to force Ji Zunxing to face reality.

Ji Zunxing was speechless.

Ji Chenxing smiled, "Master Ji, do you know that I am a first-rank official? What did you just say to me? I remember it all."

Ji Zunxing suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

He naturally knew what Ji Chenxing's current identity was, a princess personally appointed by the emperor.

Even so, he had always been used to being arrogant in front of Ji Chenxing, and now that he was suddenly asked to bow down to Ji Chenxing, Ji Zunxing really couldn't stand it.

Ji Zunxing looked around again and there was no one around.

If there were other people around, Ji Zunxing might really bow to Ji Chenxing for fear of being seen.

But now there is no one around, so even if Ji Chenxing goes to the government to sue him or to the emperor, he can deny it.

After making sure that there was no one around, he became bolder again.

"Ji Chenxing!" Ji Zunxing became angry and humiliated, and finally shouted out the anger he had been holding.

"I am your father. How can you talk to your father like that?"

After hearing this, not to mention Ji Chenxing, even Qiuyue couldn't hold back. Everyone knows that Ji Chenxing's death is closely related to Ji Zunxing!

Now this person actually dares to come to Ji Chenxing and say that he is her father. Isn’t this funny?

Ji Chenxing smiled contemptuously.

"Father? This princess did call you father when she was alive, but not now.

"Your distrust and Ji Xueyao's knife have completely severed our kinship."

Ji Chenxing glanced at Ji Zunxing, then looked into the distance.

Compared with this huge capital city, compared with the glittering imperial power, and even compared with herself as a princess, Ji Zunxing seemed fragile and weak.

In my memory, that tall figure and that unreachable embrace have long become blurred, as if they had never existed.

Ji Chenxing withdrew his thoughts and returned his gaze to Ji Zunxing.

"After that blow, I am no longer your daughter. Whether it's gratitude or resentment, we are all done. I treat you like a beggar on the street. I only have pity for you."

I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but as soon as Ji Chenxing finished saying this, a beggar crawled out from the roadside.

Ji Chenxing gave Qiuyue a look, and Qiuyue took out a few copper coins from the pouch on her waist and put them into the beggar's bowl.

The beggar smiled widely, kept saying "thank you" and limped away.

Ji Chenxing looked at the beggar and then at Ji Zunxing.

"Do you remember that night? This princess personally wrote down the deduction process of the Sishui Battle and gave it all to you."

Ji Chenxing's eyes were full of relief. "It wasn't because I cared about your pitiful father-daughter relationship. In fact, in my heart, from that moment on, you were no different from this beggar."

Ji Chenxing's tone was very flat, with no expression of sadness or joy, as if he was talking about something as trivial as eating and drinking.

But Ji Zunxing's eyes were full of surprise.

Ji Zunxing had thought about why Ji Chenxing helped him.

He felt that there was a 50% chance that it was because although Ji Chenxing was dead, she was still afraid of his status as a general and was afraid that he would punish her;
The other 50% possibility is because she is Ji Chenxing's father. From the moment Ji Chenxing was born, she should respect herself even if he becomes a ghost.

But he never thought that in Ji Chenxing's heart, he was actually just a beggar.

It would be fine if it was me now, but I was still a general at that time!!

Ji Zunxing thought that Ji Chenxing was weak and easy to bully.

But now I realize that she didn't care about me just because she looked down on me.

Ji Zunxing only felt a surge of anger bursting out from his heart. This anger went straight from his heart to his throat. He wanted to open his mouth to speak it out, but he didn't know how to say it.

At this moment, he really felt frustrated.

Ji Chenxing just looked at Ji Zunxing quietly. He was like a bomb sealed in a vacuum.

She could see from outside that the bomb was ignited, then exploded silently, and finally turned into a pile of ashes and an exhausted Ji Zunxing.

Ji Chenxing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Now you know, right? If a beggar offends me repeatedly, what should I do to him?"

There was no change in Ji Chenxing's voice, but in Ji Zunxing's heart, it seemed to have become several degrees colder, making him tremble a little.

"Ji Chenxing!" Ji Zunxing's voice was a little weak, but he was still trying to show off.

He is really scared now.

"For the sake of me being your father, just pretend you didn't hear what I just said, okay?"

The smile on Ji Chenxing's face did not change, it even became brighter.

"My father? Since the day I left this world, I only have Ji Huaiyu as my father."

When he heard this name, the face of the middle-aged man in the live broadcast room appeared in Ji Zunxing's mind.

"Instead of trying to be my relative, you should quickly think about how to keep your general's mansion, or I will take it away in a few days and give it to my new family."

Ji Zunxing certainly knew that the new family members Ji Chenxing mentioned were Ji Huaiyu, Ji Xueqing and others.

Now Ji Chenxing is very easy to talk to in front of Jun Heng. Ji Zunxing believes that as long as Ji Chenxing begs Jun Heng, Jun Heng will definitely agree and let Ji Chenxing live in his general's mansion.

When Ji Zunxing thought about another family moving into the general's mansion, he felt as if his heart was filled with jealousy.

Ji Chenxing saw Ji Zunxing's micro-expression and knew that his psychological defenses had been broken.

At this moment, the tall and strong Ji Zunxing seemed so small in front of her.

Ji Chenxing just stood there, as if looking down from a high position.

"Now, Master Ji, it's time for you to pay your respects to this princess."
