"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 35

 Ji Ling Xue gave a mysterious smile: "There's always a way, for the climax, I have to first see your mother before saying more."

Ji Ming Yang's eyes were filled with generosity, so long as his mother can be favoured once again, he would be willing to do anything.

The more Ji Ming Yang thought about it the more impatient he became, pulling on Ji Ling Xue's arm he said: "Let's go!"

Ji Ling Xue almost choked on a mouthful of rice, forcing her throat to swallow down that rice, she asked: "Go where?" The food had just arrived, she had only had a few mouthfuls, where did he want to take her, even to see his mother, it didn't need to be right this minute, this ignorant child!

Ji Ming Yang naturally did not hear Ji Ling Xue's silent criticisms, "Back to the residence, I'll take you to see my mother!"

Ji Ling Xue only had time to grab the drumstick in front of her, before she was brought to the doorway by Ji Ming Yang, Ji Ling Xue unwillingly turned to Mo Xiang saying: "Mo Xiang, pack it all up for me."

"Yes, mistress, this servant understands." Mo Xiang covered her mouth laughing, following the rear view of the brother and sister with her eyes as they became smaller.

Somewhere in a remote corner of the Ji residence shone a small yellow lantern, Ji Ming Yang pulled Ji Ling Xue into a courtyard under the cover of night, very proficiently he led Ji Ling Xue to avoid the water jars and vegetable fields, coming to a lit house he knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" The cautious voice of a woman came from the room.

Ji Ming Yang said: "Mother, it's me, open the door."

Sound of movement came from inside, very soon the door was opened, a malnourished and sickly looking middle aged woman stood at the door with a jacket thrown over her shoulders carrying a candle with a face full of love as she looked at Ji Ming Yang in the dim light of night.

"Child why have you come, it's already so late, did something happen?" The woman's gaze turned to look behind Ji Ming Yang, glancing at Ji Ling Xue, she asked hesitantly, "You are?"

Ji Ming Yang pulled on the woman's hand: "Mother, let's talk inside." He entered the house as he spoke, the doors closing very quickly...

The warm candle flame stayed lit the entire night, once Ji Ling Xue left the house, it was dawn, Ji Ming Yang followed her out the house standing behind her, "Sister..."

Ji Ling Xue turned around smiling, "It's quite late, I should go back, I've said everything I should, if your mother doesn't put in the effort, and only want to live a steady life, there's nothing to do, but living in such a rich and powerful household, steadiness is only for the dead."

Ji Ming Yang nodded, "Sister you should go back to rest, let's give her some time to digest." The two of them finished speaking and proceeded to leave.

Ji Ling Xue took Mo Xiang back to her own courtyard, the courtyard was in a mess, like a tornado had blown through.

Mo Xiang said: "It must have been madam who ordered people to mess up our courtyard, she's really too much."

Ji Ling Xue walked forward neither too quickly or slowly, sweeping her eyes over the destroyed trees and flowers, "Se only ruined these flowers and plants out of anger, we won't stay here long, just let her be."

Two days later, Ji Ling Xue received news of madam ` losing favour, Ji Ming Yang's mother Ms Xu had some skills, she had only used 2 days time to completely captivate and seduce Ji Bai Chuan, he would spend the night with her every night, even if madam Feng sent people to invite him over, Ji Bai Chuan gave all sorts of reasons to refuse.

In the short period of two days, Ji Ming Yang's forgotten and abandoned mother had been raised to the position of concubine almost on par with madam Feng, making her so angry that madam Feng was unable to sleep for several days.

Madam Feng's target of hate quickly changed from Ji Ling Xue to concubine Xu, giving Ji Ling Xue plenty of time to do er own things.

In Prince Chen's study, Chi Feng reported to Xiao Yi Chen who had this head buried in documents: "Prince, the spies have passed on information, Ji Ling Xue has been well-behaved since she returned to Ji residence, and had not made a fuss to see prince Chen or to return to prince's residence."
