The Indomitable Master of Elixirs Chapter 302: An Exquisite Heart (2)

“I am often traveling and seldom home. Back this time, I heard that Ninth Sister is also in the capital. In addition, Mubai told me what happened between Ninth Sister and the Ji family—and that is what I have come here for today.” Ji Linglong’s face and voice remained neutral, her mild tone drawing in her listener unwittingly.Ji Fengyan didn’t have a bad first impression of Ji Linglong. Compared to the rest of the Ji family, this dignified and elegant lady appealed to her aesthetic point of view. Hence… Ji Fengyan didn’t mind waiting to hear her out.Ji Fengyan’s easy-going thinking was in contrast to Zuo Nuo and company, all of whom had gone on the defensive.In their experience, all members of the Ji family were scoundrels!Ji Linglong continued. “Whether it was Father, Second Uncle or Mubai and the rest, their actions toward Ninth Sister have indeed been bitterly disappointing. As their daughter, sister, and niece, I apologize on their behalf for everything they have done.” Follow current on novelenglish.net

Finishing her speech, Ji Linglong stood up and gave a proper bow toward Ji Fengyan right in front of everyone.This apology caused Linghe and the other bystanders to stare dumbfounded.This… Eldest Mistress of the Ji family was so unorthodox!Originally primed to do some kicking out, the bunch of men were momentarily startled.Ji Fengyan raised her eyebrows at the composed Ji Linglong before giving a sudden laugh. She rose and went to help Ji Linglong up.“Eldest Sister is too polite. This apology should not be coming from you. I do not accept it.” Follow current on novel-online.com

Hearing this, Ji Linglong didn’t insist. She only nodded slightly before sitting down again.Both parties understood the situation and there was no need to comment further.“Eldest Sister, is there anything else you have come here for?” Ji Fengyan asked, with no reference to the earlier incident. She had a good impression of Ji Linglong, whose space between her brows gave off a just- and noble-minded aura.Ji Linglong said, “It concerns Little Uncle’s funeral.”Ji Fengyan looked shaken.The Ji family had earlier used Ji Yun’s funeral as an excuse to call her back to the capital. However, it had been some time since her return and the Ji family had yet to mention this matter. Ji Fengyan had previously queried Ji He on it but he digressed. Follow current on storynovel.net

“It has been some time since Little Uncle’s ashes were sent from the battlefield back to the capital. However, due to some logistical issues, it was not delivered to the Ji family until it finally arrived two days ago. We have been discussing this and are ready to have Little Uncle buried so that he can find peace as soon as possible. As his only daughter, I hope you can go see him off.” Ji Linglong said.Ji Fengyan nodded slightly, though she understood clearly now. Ji Yun’s ashes had probably long been delivered back to the Ji family. Ji Linglong’s little speech was just to give Ji Qiu and the rest a way out.Respect the dead; Ji Fengyan would not kick up a fuss over this matter.“Then I shall have to trouble you.”Ji Linglong shook her head. “Little Uncle is part of the Ji family. All these are par for the course.”Ji Fengyan chuckled, feeling increasingly affable toward Ji Linglong.“Grrr.” The leopard lying by Ji Linglong’s feet suddenly emitted a low growl. Ji Fengyan turned her attention to the obedient, huge form for the first time.“This is a leopard?” Ji Fengyan’s eyes sparkled.Cool!The pure white leopard had not a single stray hair on its body. Its deep blue eyes were as mesmerizing as a pair of sapphires.
