Chapter 681 Visiting the Liu Family
Half a month has passed since the day the illusion was shattered and the Heavenly Palace collapsed.
The survivors appeared at the foot of Longwu Mountain, feeling terrified as if they had just woken up from a dream.
Bai Fuling survived because he did not follow those people to the ladder to heaven. Although he had some small thoughts, Di Ran, remembering their past kindness, brought him out of the ancient tomb and sent someone to send him back.
On the other hand, Situ Lan was naturally remembered by Di Ran because of his evil intentions to plot against Ji Yunxie and kill little Ji Nian.
Without Di Ran's protection, Situ Lan ultimately did not leave the ancient tomb.
When Prime Minister Situ learned of his son's death, he became furious again and hurried to the palace to file a complaint.
Di Ran didn't know about all this for the time being. At this moment, she was preparing to visit the Liu family. After all, they were Axie's in-laws. Since they were already here, it would be wrong not to visit them.
The Liu family members were of good character, although there were some small-minded people, but after learning about Di Ran's identity, they all put away their contemptuous attitudes and became enthusiastic. Their attitude towards Ji Yunxie also changed 180 degrees and they became warm and flattering.
The last time Ji Yunxie came, he did not reveal his identity. I thought that the son of the third young master, whom I had just recognized, was a down-and-out person. I didn't expect that he had such a prominent background. I really misjudged him.
I stayed at Liu's house for a few days and got along well with them.
Old Master Liu had been missing his son so much over the years that he became sick. When he learned that his son had passed away many years ago, although he had expected it, he still found it difficult to accept the truth and was sad for a long time.
Looking at Ji Yunxie, who looked very much like his third son, Old Master Liu loved him so much that he even put his favorite grandson behind him.
When they were leaving, the old man was still holding Ji Yunxie and Xiao Ji with tears in his eyes and kept talking to them, as if he would not let them go. Everyone was in a state of confusion. In the end, they only stopped after Di Ran promised to bring them back to visit him often.
After leaving the Liu family, they originally planned to go to the Liao Kingdom, but Di Ran saw Ji Rujin and remembered something. So, they turned to West Shu.
Ji Yunxie didn't understand what he was going to do in Xishu, so he asked.
Seeing that everyone was confused, Di Ran took advantage of the break when Ji Rujin was also present to explain it to everyone.
Ji Ruijin didn't expect that this matter was related to herself, and the content surprised her even more.
This is a story that has happened over the years, and also involves the love and hatred between aristocratic families, grudges in the martial arts world, and secret history of the imperial palace.
It concerns the biological father of King Jin, the late Ning Xianjun
Twenty-eight years ago, Jin Wang's biological father, Ning Xianjun, was still a child who was sold to a brothel. The brothel owner saw that the little guy was good-looking and planned to raise him as an oiran.
When the little one was very uncooperative and cried and ran away several times, the brothel owner naturally had plenty of ways to discipline the disobedient one.
The little guy suffered and learned his lesson. Later, General Ning Beiyu, the defender of the country, came to the brothel with his friends and saw the little guy being beaten. General Ning felt sorry for the child and found that the child was about the same age as his son. After asking for details, he learned that the child was abducted. General Ning was very angry, but because the brothel had someone backing it and the secret human trafficking was rampant, General Ning had no choice but to redeem the child and bring him back to the general's mansion.
Although the husband in the mansion had some objections to the child's background in a brothel, he did not say anything because of the general. The child became the eldest son's playmate and study partner, and since they grew up together, the two children had a good relationship.
The Empress later selected concubines. The eldest son already had a lover and was unwilling to enter the palace. The younger son was domineering and was afraid of getting into trouble. The Empress later discussed with General Ning to adopt the child as their adopted son and let him enter the palace in the name of the second son of the general's mansion. General Ning was reluctant at first, but the child wanted to repay the general's kindness and took the initiative to beg to enter the palace.
