Chapter 1256 - 966: "You being a Jinshi is remarkable, but my younger brother is a Champion Scholar_2
But my sister has always been cherished like a treasure by our family. Over the years, she and my mother have been doing business to support my studies. I don’t worry about other things; I’m just afraid she might meet the wrong person!"
Ji Youlin quickly assured him, "Young master, rest assured, I will definitely treat your sister well and never bully her."
Hu Shi’an sneered at hearing this, "If you don’t bully her, then you’re deceiving her!"
"Huh?"
Ji Youlin was utterly baffled, wearing a look of confusion.
Hu Shu’Er, hiding in the dark, stomped her foot and bit her lower lip hard. Why was her brother still fixated on this?
Wasn’t the agreement that if Ji Youlin came again today, he would figure out his family background and then consider their marriage?
Seeing his sister’s anxious expression from the shadows, Hu Shi’an silently sighed to himself: Girls are truly difficult to keep!
"Young Master Hu, I don’t understand what you mean by that. When did I ever deceive your sister?"
Ji Youlin thought hard but couldn’t figure out when he might have deceived Hu Shu’Er?
"You haven’t deceived her?
Back when you got married, what was your status?"
"A beggar!"
Ji Youlin immediately answered.
Hu Shi’an sneered at this.
"And now?"
Ji Youlin thought for a moment and replied, "Now I..."
Oh dear, right now he actually doesn’t have any status. Ever since the Emperor took him away to secretly work on mechanisms and hidden weapons, he hasn’t been a beggar for a long time.
"I haven’t been a beggar for a long time now."
Ji Youlin scratched his head helplessly, feeling a bit nostalgic.
"May I ask, Mr. Ji, what is your current status?"
Hu Shi’an fixed his gaze on him.
"I have no status!"
"Without a status, could you have gotten my sister out of prison?"
In just over half a year, this man had transformed from a beggar to a foul-smelling scoundrel. Either he had an inherent status or he truly possessed some skills.
But regardless of which, it’s crucial to figure it out, yet he just couldn’t trace his origin!
"Oh! It’s nothing major, I just greeted the County Magistrate, asking him to investigate thoroughly. Plus, my younger brother sent a few detectives, and they found out the dim sum your sister made was indeed non-toxic; she was framed, so naturally, she was released."
Hu Shi’an took several deep breaths when he heard this. This guy was playing Tai Chi and didn’t catch on even when spoken to directly, oblivious to the plea to reveal his identity!
Hu Shu’Er, hidden away, was dying with anxiety, why hasn’t her brother figured it out?
She had long told him that Ji Youlin needed straightforward communication; talking in circles wouldn’t work because he simply didn’t understand!
Initially, when she first met him, she was quite upset, but at times, this single-minded man could be rather adorable. He was obedient, listening to her direction with care.
He was full of concern for her, and she feared missing such a man.
"So, which means my sister getting out of prison is entirely unrelated to you; it’s simply because she’s honest and naturally evaded danger, correct?"
Hu Shi’an barely restrained the urge to punch this single-minded man.
"Indeed!"
Ji Youlin nodded truthfully, and then...
Hu Shi’an eagerly awaited his following words.
Yet there was no conclusion, damn it, this rogue might truly become his brother-in-law in the future; interacting with him day after day might drive him to madness!
"Since you admit my sister’s fortune and uprightness, thus she got out smoothly, there’s no life-saving grace from you, meaning there’s no marital fate between you two."
Hu Shi’an began to hint at Ji Youlin.
"No! But we have exchanged vows!"
"I told you, that was a misunderstanding!"
Hu Shi’an ground his teeth fiercely.
Seriously, are you insisting that exchanging vows is the end of it?
The vow exchange that time was completely absurd; she was perfectly furious, so she impulsively pulled someone to exchange vows to anger that scoundrel Li Muyu.
"Even so, we exchanged vows, and I want to marry her."
"Ji Youlin, why can’t you understand the good and bad in this situation?
