Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role

Chapter 259 The Female Supporting Characters in the Republic of China 4

Ji Lingruo was sent back to the Jing Mansion. When Old Madam Jing learned that she had lost her feet, she was devastated.

A big part of the reason why she took a liking to Ji Lingruo was because she felt that Lingruo was a well-behaved and sensible old-fashioned woman, and her father was also a juren in the old dynasty, so she could be considered to have some cultural background.

Unfortunately, no matter how angry the old lady was, Ji Lingruo didn't take it seriously. She just stayed in the yard, quietly healing the injury on her foot. With the warmth of spiritual energy, she would be able to run and jump again after a while.

The original owner did not want this marriage. She had no reason to say no, and no right to say no. It was an arranged marriage by her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words.

But the good thing is that when they got married, everyone assumed that the man was dead.

If it were any other wealthy family and her husband was still alive, the original owner would most likely not have been able to escape. Although she went from one "abyss" to another, her spirit of resistance is still commendable.

In the original plot, the original owner and his cousin escaped so smoothly. It should be because Jing Yunchuan, who came back the next day, asked people not to catch the people and let them go free. That’s why the original owner and his cousin escaped to the city that never sleeps so smoothly.

If the person was brought back, the original owner's fate could be imagined. She eloped with someone on the wedding night. Even if the Jing family was willing to let her go, Ji's father would not let this daughter who had brought shame upon her live.

No one has come to trouble her in the past few days. Jing Yunchuan has returned, and everyone in the mansion is a little in awe of this young master with a military background. But this young master has sent people to follow his wife and does not allow others to disrespect Lingruo.

Ji Lingruo had no objection to this. She didn't plan to stay in the Jing Mansion for long, but she could live a more comfortable life without other people talking nonsense in front of her, so why not?

Jing Yunchuan hasn't come back these few days, probably because he was dealing with military affairs, but he came back today.

He hadn't had time to take off his military uniform yet, which made him look even more solemn.

"Does it hurt?" Jing Yunchuan took off his black gloves.

Ling Ruo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that he was talking about the feet, "It's okay, it's convenient for walking this way."

Jing Yunchuan's eyes dimmed slightly, and he took out a white porcelain bottle, "This is a very good recovery medicine."

He was not good at speaking, and the words he said when they first met were the first time he spoke so much to a stranger.

"Yes." Ji Lingruo accepted it. She continued to look through the book about weapons and guns in this world that she brought back from the shooting range. There were also a few books on the table, which she had already read.

A jet-black box suddenly appeared in front of her. Ji Lingruo raised her head and met Jing Yunchuan's dark eyes.

"For you, for self-defense."

The box was opened, revealing a small black pistol.

"Thank you, I like it very much." Ji Lingruo put the gun away.

After that day at the shooting range, Lin Han came to apologize to her with a look of fear on her face. Her attitude was extremely respectful, which was different from her previous arrogance. It seemed that she had been warned.

Jing Yan also came over and apologized reluctantly, and kept a distance from her when he saw her afterwards, which made Ling Ruo feel a little confused. Now that she thought about it, it should be the same reason as Lin Han.

Ji Lingruo had been living a very free and comfortable life in the Jing family these days. No one stopped her when she went out. However, every time she went out, a few soldiers with guns would follow her quietly, but she pretended not to know.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of turning pages.

Jing Yunchuan didn't say anything either. He just sat quietly beside her, staring at her pretty profile. His thoughts suddenly drifted back to that day.

He thought Lingruo would agree to the second option, but he didn't expect him to choose the first option.

But the good news is that she will stay in the Jing family for a while, and he will be able to see more of her.

Ling Ruo had finished reading the book, closed it, turned around and found Jing Yunchuan who had been looking at her. There was a hint of subtle tenderness on his usually cold and hard face. After being discovered, he came to his senses.

"There are still some military affairs to be dealt with, so I'm leaving first." Jing Yunchuan almost fled.

Ji Lingruo looked at his hurried back and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Madam, someone outside sent a message that your family wants you to go back."

Ji's father and mother, who had arranged a ghost marriage for their daughter, quickly paid off part of Ji Yaozu's gambling debts, which barely saved Ji Yaozu's life.

It's funny to say that Ji Yaozu was born with the expectation of becoming Ji Juren. He wanted his son to read those old books since he was a child, and when the old dynasty was restored one day, his son would also be able to pass the Juren examination.

Mr. Ji was still dreaming of restoring the dynasty, and he didn't notice that society was thriving. Many people didn't want to go back to the past. Now equality for all is advocated, but no one wants to go back to being a slave.

It's a pity that Ji Yaozu has been a scoundrel since he was young. He doesn't like to listen to his father's narration. Originally, Ji Juren was a Juren, and he wanted to teach his son himself, but his son was too naughty and there was nothing he could do.

So he thought of asking the teacher outside to take care of it, but unfortunately Ji Yaozu was out and did not go to school.

Instead, he spent the money given by his parents on drinking and partying. In the new society, all kinds of new foreign things were introduced. Ji Yaozu bought a lot of them and had a lot of fun. Soon, the money in his pocket was gone.

So he chose a way to make money quickly, which was to gamble in a casino.

It may take several years for a person to learn well, but it only takes a few days for a person to learn badly.

Soon Ji Yaozu became addicted and indulged in gambling all day long. Ji's father was so angry that he punished him with family rules, but it was useless. After Ji Yaozu recovered from his injuries, he continued to gamble in the casino. After all, he was his only son, and Ji's father could not really beat him to death, so he let it go.

After returning to the Ji family, Ji's father almost fainted when he saw the glamorous Ji Lingruo. He couldn't believe that the fashionable woman in front of him was his well-behaved daughter.

"What are you talking about? Is this kind of clothes suitable for women to wear? And your hair, it is given by your parents, how can you cut it!"

Ji Lingruo just thought it was noisy. The original owner's hair was too long, almost reaching her hips. She was not used to this length, so she went to the barber shop to get it trimmed and also had it permed into a slight curl.

Unless it is required by the mission, or if the original owner's family is very good and Ling Ruo is afraid that their family will be sad if they are found out, he will rarely maintain the original owner's personality in the mission world.

Moreover, when the system teleports her to the mission world, it will change the perception of people around her, and everyone will assume that she is the original owner.

"What era is it now? Why do you still have the same ideas? The old dynasty has been overthrown for a long time, and I saw that you have cut your hair before, father? Are you worthy of my dead grandparents?"

She just found it funny. What's the use of saying that one's body and hair are inherited from one's parents? Ji's father had secretly cut his braids short a few years ago, and Ji Yaozu had cut his hair into a flat top, but Ji's father didn't say anything.

After all, he actually knew that the development of new ideas and the new era was unstoppable, and the possibility of dynasty restoration was almost zero.

So although Ji's father asked Ji Yaozu to study the Four Books and Five Classics, he did not let him study only these.

"This... this is against the rules."

Ji Lingruo: "Rules are meant to be broken. The feudal dynasty never thought that it would be overthrown one day."

Ji's father's face turned red, and he wanted to punish her according to the family rules, but then he remembered that his daughter was already married and belonged to another family, so he couldn't do anything.

Ji's mother, who had been silent, pulled her husband and signaled him not to forget the purpose of today and to ask Lingruo for money.
