Chapter 1883: The Frail Young Master's Blessed Beauty Wife 38

Ye Yuchi quickly accepted the meaning in Jin Chen's words; after all, he could live two lives, so what else couldn't happen?

Only in this life is his husband Jin Chen.

And Jin Chen doesn't care what he did in the past.

This truth is stronger than any comfort.

Ye Yuchi's emotions swung too wildly; after regaining his composure he felt a chill all over and couldn't help but burrow into Jin Chen's embrace, "I don't want to see him again..."

"Husband, kill him... kill him."

Jin Chen gently patted Ye Yuchi's trembling back, waved his palm to blast open the door, and summoned the manor guards.

"Someone! Whoever the thief is that frightened the young mistress, drag him out and beat him to death with sticks."

"Yes, Young Master!"

Though Ye Zining, whose mute point had been sealed, could make no sound, his wide eyes almost popping out still revealed his truest thoughts.

He couldn't understand.

Jin Chen's demeanor just now clearly didn't look like disbelief, yet how could he accept Ye Yuchi, such a sinister and vicious person!

Isn't Jin Chen afraid at all!

But no one could answer Ye Zining's doubts anymore.

Just after dusk, the corpse wrapped in a straw mat was hurriedly carried away; Chuan Ze Cheng lost a beggar who begged with a gold bowl, and no one paid attention.

——

It's just a coincidence.

On the seventh day after Ye Zining was beaten to death, the wandering old Daoist with an ox-nose actually reappeared, his dirty gray-white robes and wine gourd drawing too much attention.

When the steward came to deliver the message, Ji Ji De had been in the study talking with Master Shu; hearing this, he hurriedly rose and had someone invite him in.

Master Shu wondered, "Who could make the Old Master value him so much?"

Ji Ji De's usually stern face also showed a hint of sigh: "It's the person who arranged Chen'er's marriage; if he didn't have a substitute-marriage method, Chen'er's body wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

Master Shu fell silent for two seconds, "But I heard earlier… the young mistress wasn't the originally intended person."

Ji Ji De startled, "Oh no!"

How did we forget this!

"Quick, quick, quick, someone! Go fetch the Young Master!"

In the time it takes to finish half a cup of tea, aside from Jin Yu Dong and his wife far away in the capital, the Jin family gathered together in the front courtyard.

Ye Yuchi and Jin Chen sat together, tightly holding hands, feeling nervous, afraid the Old Daoist would see through their past-present secret, and even more afraid he would see through Jin Chen's secret.

The Old Daoist finished half a jug of wine, stroked his knotted beard doubtfully, "How strange, how strange..."

He took a couple of steps, then swooshed back to Ye Yuchi's face, bent over and glanced a few times, "This person..."

"This person isn't the one I chose, right?"

The Old Daoist rubbed his alcohol-reddened nose, then turned to look at Ji Ji De and Qiao Yan Pei, kindly reminding, "You've chosen the wrong person!"

Qiao Yan Pei tried to explain, "Daoist, you don't know, but this matter has a long backstory..."

Jin Chen said succinctly, "No mistake was made."

He stood up, also circled the seemingly mysterious Old Daoist, then suddenly threw a punch.

"Chen'er!"

Qiao Yan Pei was startled; in the next instant she saw her young son and the Old Daoist fighting.

"Why is Chen'er fighting the Old Daoist?" she asked Ji Ji De.

Ji Ji De followed his wife's line of thought and guessed, "So he's not satisfied with the previous person the Daoist arranged."

Jin Enxing saw through the truth, popped a candied fruit into his mouth, "Little Chen is proving with his actions that no mistake was made."

"Stop fighting! I'm just an old bag of bones!"

The Old Daoist raged and mooed, seeing that the hateful young master showed no sign of stopping, suddenly enlightened he said, "It's I who misjudged; you and your current husband are truly a match made in heaven, a natural pair, a blessed union!"

Jin Chen suddenly withdrew his fist, nodded satisfied, "Well said."

Old Daoist: "……"

No! Heaven! Principle!

This old man has painstakingly cultivated for decades, how can I not even beat a yellow-haired brat!

Even just now, while exchanging blows, I sensed a faint aura from Jin Chen, nothing like someone who's been bedridden with a lingering illness for over ten years.

The ox-nosed Old Daoist felt very suspicious.

He again stepped forward, carefully re-examining Ye Yuchi and Ye Yuchi for a good while, his expression somewhat astonished.

Jin Chen held his husband's hand, soothingly pinching it.

"To be frank, this old man's return to Chuan Ze Cheng this time is because I sensed the originally destined person had died... but now it seems you two are truly a match made in heaven."

The Old Daoist's praise this time was much more sincere, accompanied by a clicking sigh, "I'm afraid... it's not just blessings for one lifetime."

Jin Chen looked at the Old Daoist in surprise, "Oh."

"You're still quite formidable."

【Hey! I can see it too!】

【……】

This hit Ye Yuchi even harder.

He pressed the Old Daoist, "Is this really true?"

"Of course, of course, this old man never speaks falsely."

The old Taoist stroked his beard, shaking his head and swaying, "It's just that the two of you have too deep a fate, making it hard to see through; many right and wrongs, karma entangled..."

"All right."

Jin Chen hurriedly interrupted, hearing the thunder rumble.

"More fish, give the silver."

The old Taoist only then startled and lifted his head, also hearing the muffled thunder strike; he immediately dared not speak further, only his heart grew more shocked.

But for Ye Yuchi, that earlier remark was enough; he returned Jin Chen's grip and let out a long breath.

The Jin Family members who don't know the truth:?

Qiao Yan Pei continued to chatter with her husband: "After Chen'er's health keeps improving, how come he's become even fiercer than before?"

Ji Ji De pondered, "I actually feel……his temper wasn't small back then either."

The medicine he dislikes drinking is truly a waste.

Fall Spring Courtyard never feels like it needs to consume many medicine bowls each year.

Jin Enxing nodded, feeling deeply, "I agree."

Qiao Yan Pei couldn't bear to look at the lovebirds' affection, had the steward send the old Taoist out, then turned her gaze to the second son, who was eating dried fruit and watching the bustle without minding the fuss.

Now Chen'er and Yucí's relationship is stable, your Dage and sister-in-law are even more loving, but only you remain a lonely bachelor.

This topic seems impossible to escape.

Ji Ji De cast a glance, sharing the same hatred for the enemy with his wife.

Jin Enxing: "……"

He glumly covered his ears.

"Mom, this kind of thing can't be rushed; this fate comes when it's said, and if it's not said, waiting however long is useless."

"Rather than worrying about when I'll marry, you'd better urge my Dage and sister-in-law to have a nephew soon!"

Jin Enxing, thick-skinned, again tossed the blame onto his Dage.

"Go, your Dage and sister-in-law are busy working for the imperial court; having a child is still far off." Qiao Yan Pei was the first to disagree.

Jin Enxing failed to shift the blame and ran off in a puff of smoke.
