Chapter 378 Lin Feng Gives Up His House (2)
"It's not that I'm limited, but most men nowadays are like this." Qu Shishi sighed and said sadly. "Grandma wants me to marry my cousin, but all of my cousins have concubines, and I don't want to choose any of them."
"You can't marry me. If you marry a man like this, you'll live in the backyard all your life and won't be happy." Ji Xiaowu felt terrible just thinking about it. She would have to compete with several women for her husband every day. She was resentful and crying.
"Sister and I think the same thing, but Dad seems to want to marry me off." Qu Shishi sighed again, "I suspect he sent me to my aunt's house this time with this in mind."
"Why do you think so?" asked Ji Xiaomu.
"It's obvious that Dad has been in trouble recently. He keeps saying it's all over, and he wants to find a safe place to send me. He thinks it's safest for a girl to get married. Doesn't it mean that he wants to find someone to marry me off?" Qu Shishi said worriedly, pouting.
Ji Xiaomu and Lin Feng looked at each other. It seemed that the city lord had already received the news and was worrying about what to do!
"Then you can stay with me for a while!" Ji Xiaomu touched Qu Shishi's head soothingly, and Qu Shishi nodded.
"Sister, without you, I really have nowhere to go. Fortunately, I have you." Qu Shishi was somewhat glad that her brother kidnapped her. If not, how could she have met Sister Ji.
"Why don't you thank me?" Lin Feng suddenly asked.
Qu Shishi muttered to herself for a long time before forcing herself to smile and said to Lin Feng, "Thank you, Uncle Lin."
"Be good." Lin Feng glanced at Qu Shishi and didn't bother with her for deliberately calling him uncle.
Qu Shishi looked at the ground in frustration, and didn't notice the slight raise in the corner of Lin Feng's mouth, revealing a flash of smile.
"Then you take a rest for a while and come to my house for dinner later." Ji Xiaomu looked at the interaction between the two and chuckled.
Qu Shishi nodded, and Ji Xiaomu and Lin Feng came out. Lin Feng said to Ji Xiaomu, "Sister-in-law, this may be unexpected good news. It seems that the city lord is well-informed. He must have known that several princes are about to go to war, so he is anxious to send Qu Shishi away."
"If that's the case, then you can move up the schedule to go to the City Lord's Mansion. Perhaps you don't need to say much, as the City Lord can't wait to give this hot potato away." Ji Xiaomu said with a smile.
"My eldest brother originally said that we would set off in the next few days, but now it seems that we can set off earlier." Lin Feng agreed.
This is a good opportunity.
"Well, I'll go back first. Come over for dinner later! Call my eighth brother too." Mother Ji smiled at Lin Feng.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Lin Feng's eyes lit up. He could go to his elder brother's house for a free meal.
"We're family, don't be polite." Aunt Ji said with a smile, knowing that the eighth brother Qin Yi and the twelfth brother Lin Feng were both single and usually just had some food to eat, unlike the other brothers who had wives at home.
After Ji Xiaomu left, Lin Feng was about to leave when he suddenly heard a scream of pain from inside the house and rushed in immediately.
Inside the house, after Ji Xiaomu and Lin Feng left, Qu Shishi fetched a plate of warm water and carefully took off her shoes and socks one by one. The toes of her socks were covered with red spots, and her feet were covered with white blisters and bloody marks from abrasions. Qu Shishi endured the pain and put her feet into the warm water, but still couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"What's wrong?" Lin Feng asked as he rushed into the house, but found no enemy.
