Chapter 615 If She Was Still Here
Ji Ze was in good spirits today. He even moved a recliner and lay down in the yard to rest.
Perhaps because he was afraid of catching a cold, he covered himself with another blanket.
When Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan walked in, he looked up, then quickly lay back down, squinting his eyes.
The sun is shining brightly today. Although he is seriously ill, he won’t catch a cold.
"Father." Pei Yan spoke first. Gu Chaoxi just followed beside him and didn't say anything.
Ji Ze looked up and didn't speak immediately, just waved his hand.
When the servants in the yard saw this, they immediately ran out of the house and brought out two more chairs.
"Sit down, come to me, what's the matter?"
He spoke slowly and calmly, and it looked like he would get better soon.
Gu Chaoxi looked him up and down, then obediently sat down on the chair next to him, and Pei Yan did the same.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent for a while.
After a while, probably because no one spoke, Ji Ze turned his head and looked in the direction of the two people.
"What's the matter? Why are you both unwilling to speak? Aren't you two the most noisy on weekdays?"
If you think about it carefully, maybe the eldest young master and the fifth young lady are the only ones who are not very noisy?
But speaking of it, the second young lady and the third young master are not actually very noisy, it's just that they have always had some dislike for each other.
Gu Chaoxi thought for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Father, did you see anything unusual last night?"
Because of these words, Ji Ze's eyes finally fell on Gu Chaoxi.
Perhaps he was wondering why she asked this, so he didn't answer her immediately. He just looked up and down and then looked forward.
"Xiangxiang, did you believe your third concubine's gossip?"
She chuckled: "Does father think that Third Aunt is lying? Didn't father also find something unusual in the yard last night?"
Her sudden revelation also made Ji Ze slightly stunned.
For a long while, Ji Ze didn't say anything.
Pei Yan raised his hand and pulled the blanket on Ji Ze up a little bit, then looked up at his face which still looked weather-beaten.
"Father, some things are not groundless, you know that, otherwise I would not come here with my second sister."
He made his words very clear, and Ji Ze understood them.
So, the originally unfocused gaze gradually shifted to Pei Yan, and then glanced at Gu Chaoxi.
"You two, what did you know?"
He asked this because he was of course confused about what happened last night.
Although I didn't see anything when I went out at night, considering that several concubines said the same thing at the time, I couldn't help but think in that direction.
What's more, even the eldest son seemed a little abnormal recently. Ji Ze was just sick, not senile.
After hearing what he said, Gu Chaoxi didn't plan to hide it and just spoke frankly.
"Father, I also saw the ghost that Third Auntie mentioned yesterday. It really came and went without a trace. I don't know what it means."
"It's just that I have always firmly believed that there are no such things as ghosts and gods in this world. Any such things are nothing but human deception."
"But we don't know what he wants to kill, and disturbing the peace in our house like this doesn't mean him to be a good person."
She said it very clearly, and Pei Yan nodded beside her.
Ji Ze thought for a moment, then smiled and patted Pei Yan's arm: "You should learn more from your second sister. Although she has less education than you, she is my most satisfied daughter."
The daughter I am most satisfied with, haha, I only have two daughters in total.
Because the fifth young lady had been frail and sickly since childhood, she seldom came to see him, so the daughter he was most satisfied with was naturally Ji Xiangxiang.
Poor Gu Chaoxi, why does her identity have to be Ji Xiangxiang?
Ji Ze nodded: "What you said makes sense. Since this ghost has found everyone, do you know why he wants to find you?"
Pei Yan shook his head: "I don't know." If I knew, I wouldn't come to ask you.
Ji Ze sighed, pinched his fingers together, lay on the recliner, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"The sun is really nice today." He suddenly sighed and slowly turned his head away without looking at the two people.
"If she were still here, she would be with me in this scene."
After saying that, he chuckled twice.
she? who?
"Father, are you talking about the fourth concubine?"
"Yes, the person who understands me the best."
Ji Ze did not deny it, but Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan looked at each other and read the same question in each other's eyes.
Which fourth concubine?
Was it the fourth concubine who was killed by him personally in the bell tower, or the fourth concubine who was forced by him to jump off the city wall?
It is also possible that he was referring to both of them.
If you think about it carefully, the two people who loved him the most in this house were the two concubines who came and went, right?
It seemed that both of them only wanted to get a lot of love from him, and didn't care about his rights and status.
It’s a pity that these two people died in an undignified manner.
On the other hand, the second concubine, who didn't care about Ji Ze at all, lived a happy life. She focused all her energy on raising her daughter and son, and she realized early on that she couldn't rely on Ji Ze.
As for the eldest wife who was in charge of household affairs, she was even more indifferent. After all, she had two sons and she would not starve.
As for the third concubine, to be honest, Gu Chaoxi didn't see any attachment to Ji Ze from the third concubine.
My own biological daughter has not been raised by me since she was a child, so these years are not much different from being alone.
If the General's Mansion really fails one day, she would probably be the one to leave.
That’s not right. After all, all her things are now targeted by the shadow.
It seemed that the black shadow had no intention of killing anyone. From beginning to end, he just made ghostly noises in the house, but he didn't attack anyone.
Gu Chaoxi was immersed in her own thoughts, unable to extricate herself, until Pei Yan beside her nudged her with his elbow, which brought her back to her senses.
Ji Ze sighed and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest.
"If someone wants to play tricks on you, just find that person and beat him to death with sticks." He glanced to the side, with a calm expression in his eyes.
"Third brother, I taught you to take on important responsibilities."
Pei Yan was a little confused. He? He didn't know when Ji Ze told the Third Young Master this, but it sounded a little ridiculous.
Nodding, he licked the corner of his lips and said, "Father is right. There are naturally no evil spirits in our family."
Ji Ze’s yang energy is so strong, where did the evil ghost come from? It’s really funny.
Gu Chaoxi raised his eyebrows and lowered his head slightly. It seemed that Ji Ze had not gained anything here. With his methods, by the time he came to find the person in person, that person would probably be almost dead.
As I was thinking, footsteps were heard at the door, and then a voice sounded: "Father."
