Chapter 272 Confrontation
After hearing Ji Xiangli's angry curse, Jiang Yuanfeng's face turned pale in an instant.
He grabbed Ji Xiangli's pointing hand and asked in shock, "What did you say? Lu Xuan is fine, but Si Luan is the one who got entangled by those ghosts?!"
Ji Xiangli glanced at him and said unhappily, "Do you think I came all this way here just to cheat you?!"
He coldly pulled his hand out of Jiang Yuanfeng's and stood up with a gloomy face: "To tell you the truth, I came here today just to ask you for a solution!"
"No matter what method you use, you must drive those ghosts out of my Ji family! I haven't settled the score with you for destroying the formation center of my house last time, and now you are harming my Si Luan again."
"He is the last trace of blood in my Ji family!"
"We've had a lot of disagreements in the past. Even when the formation's eye was broken, I wanted to make a small matter out of it and didn't bother with you! But if you want to use Si Luan to deal with the Ji family, then Jiang Yuanfeng, you'd better be careful. Be careful about the oath we three made in the past. I won't be polite either!"
Ji Xiangli spoke a lot in one breath with an excited look, his face flushed with excitement.
Hearing Ji Xiangli's blatant threat, Jiang Yuanfeng couldn't help but feel alarmed.
Last time at the Ji Mansion, it was obvious that Empress Ji and the Ji Mansion had become estranged.
The only people in the Ji family now are Ji Xiangli and Ji Bozhou, father and son.
If Ji Bozhou died because of this incident, the old man Ji Xiangli would probably be really desperate and would stand up and bite them back.
It is said that you should not chase a desperate enemy, for a cornered dog will jump over the wall.
By then, both sides will be destroyed, which will be of no benefit to him and will only lead to a complete collapse.
Therefore, we cannot take this lightly.
In order to stabilize Ji Xiangli first, Jiang Yuanfeng's face suddenly darkened.
"Is what Ji Guozhang said true?!"
He said with a bit of disbelief, "Lu Xuan, is he really fine? Nothing happened?!"
Seeing that his nervous expression didn't seem fake, Ji Xiangli snorted coldly, "Master Jiang, you wanted to use Si Luan to get rid of Lu Xuan, but now it's exposed."
Jiang Yuanfeng's forehead was covered with sweat. "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Brother Ji!"
"When Si Luan came to see me earlier, I gave him the talisman that really pleased Lu Xuan. But no one could have imagined that Lu Xuan had actually altered the talisman. It must have been her who changed it into a killing talisman that could drive away hundreds of ghosts!"
Seeing Jiang Yuanfeng's perfunctory acting, Ji Xiangli glared at him, "Master Jiang! It's come to this point, are you still going to put on an act?!"
"Si Luan took your talisman and took Lu Xuan to the carriage. As soon as Lu Xuan touched the sachet, he began to feel unbearable pain and screamed all the way. Later, when he was almost dead, for some reason, all the ghosts rushed towards Si Luan."
"Si Luan has explained all this to me clearly! I'm here today to seek an explanation and a solution! I'm not here to hear you, Lord Jiang, obstructing us with all sorts of excuses and treacherous denials!"
Jiang Yuanfeng has always had several faces.
In order to achieve their goals, they can say anything and act out any drama.
He has seen through it over the past decade!
Jiang Yuanfeng didn't expect that Ji Xiangli would see through his plan so quickly.
It seems that today, they have indeed obtained the truth.
Therefore, his brows suddenly darkened.
"Father-in-law Ji, I was going to give you some face. However, it seems that you still haven't gotten the truth from these things!"
Ji Xiangli frowned, "What's the truth?"
Jiang Yuanfeng stood up and sighed helplessly, "Of course, it's the truth of decline."
"I'm sure Father-in-law Ji knows the cause of this incident. It was Young Master Ji who asked me to cast a curse on him, so that Lu Xuan would be in love with him forever!"
"What is Lu Xuan's relationship with your Ji Mansion? Father-in-law Ji, please don't forget that the servant I chased after in the Ji Mansion that day was clearly Lu Xuan in disguise!"
"Lu Xuan in disguise?!" Ji Xiangli was shocked by this sentence.
"Didn't you say that day that he was just a petty thief?"
Looking at Ji Xiangli's suspicious expression, Jiang Yuanfeng couldn't help but sneer, "Look, your son Ji Bozhou knows all about this, so why didn't he tell you?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Your son's Danbo Zhai even asked me to set up a soul-imprisoning formation for him that specifically imprisons the souls of living people."
"I'm guessing he's recently added locks to his yard and bought all the necessary supplies to imprison people. I don't need to tell you who he's dealing with or imprisoning."
"The key to the formation in your yard was clearly broken by Lu Xuan using mystical magic, which is why your Ji family's bad luck began. Now, let's not even mention that Lu Xuan is already the Princess of the Jin Palace, even if she is still an unmarried woman. Your son is deeply in love with such a powerful woman with mystical magic, and he has kept everything from you. Doesn't this prove that your Ji family is already on the decline?!"
Listening to Jiang Yuanfeng's cruel confession, Ji Xiangli was shocked and fell into the chair.
His eyes, which had seen so much of the vicissitudes of life, stared at Jiang Yuanfeng in disbelief. "Are you saying that the shattering of the strange stone in the mansion that day when Prince Jin came to the mansion to say goodbye to Qingyan was actually Lu Xuan's doing? And, Si Luan hid this news from me in order to protect her?!"
Seeing Ji Xiangli's distraught look, Jiang Yuanfeng couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"I don't think your son is doing this to protect her. He's doing it to possess her! Your son has become obsessed with Lu Xuan!"
"It's impossible to save her, it's impossible to save her..."
Jiang Yuanfeng saw that Ji Xiangli's momentum was finally suppressed.
He smiled, touched his chin, and raised his leg to go out.
Just then, Ji Xiangli grabbed his arm.
"You can't go!"
His bloodshot eyes were filled with determination. "No matter whether my son has left me or not, or how deeply he loves that witch, or how demons he has in his heart."
"Now, I just want you to answer a question."
"Why did you cast that harmful curse? What's your relationship with Lu Xuan? Why did you want to harm her?!"
This person has always been ruthless in doing things and his methods are extremely cunning.
He didn't believe that Jiang Yuanfeng had gone through so much trouble without any conspiracy of his own.
Jiang Yuanfeng was stunned on the spot by Ji Xiangli's three soul-searching questions.
These three questions hit him sore spots.
It's not that he doesn't know how to answer.
But, cannot answer.
What if Lu Xuan didn't know those secrets originally, and when I told Ji Xiangli about it, it would alert the enemy. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
Seeing that Jiang Yuanfeng seemed unable to answer, Ji Xiangli used his strength to pull him back to the chair.
He stood in front of him with his hands on his hips, "For all these years, the Emperor and I have never asked you about what happened before fifteen years ago."
"But I also know that everyone has shadows from their past. If you don't want this to be known, then remove the spell on my son and return him to his original form! And make all those abominable ghosts leave my Ji Mansion!"
He snorted coldly, "I know that you, Lord Jiang, have no children and no ties. But for an old and infirm person like you, no matter how powerful you are, what's the point? In the end, you'll have nothing and nothing left."
As he spoke, he laughed sarcastically again, "Don't be fooled by the fact that you have so many wives and concubines in this house. When you are about to die, come back and see how many people are still around you and who will never leave you!"
Jiang Yuanfeng was so enraged by his words that he didn't have time to retort before he heard Ji Xiangli's mouth twitching and continued angrily, "It doesn't matter if you don't do anything. After all, I only have this one son!"
There was a fierce look in his eyes, "I'm not afraid of being destroyed together with everyone!"
Looking at Ji Xiangli, who had aged a lot in recent times, Jiang Yuanfeng's heart, which had been filled with resentment, plummeted when he saw such an obvious threat.
It’s not because he didn’t save Ji Bozhou.
But this time, he is really beyond help!
The Blood Soul Curse was originally unsolvable.
Who knows how Lu Xuan escaped this time?
He even wanted to find her to find out the truth.
But right now, the hostile relationship between her and me was just tacit.
Jiang Yuanfeng looked at Ji Xiangli who was staring at him fiercely and was at a loss for a moment.
If we want to save Ji Bozhou, I'm afraid only Lu Xuan can do it.
But, isn't that just wishful thinking?
He was confused and his eyelids were twitching violently.
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head and he spoke to Ji Xiangli.
