Chapter 240 Little Handsome and Little Beautiful Have Found Us

"Never mind, I won't go. Maybe next time. My mom's calling me home for dinner."

Ji Yingying ran incredibly fast, heading straight out of the palace, her running posture making it seem as if a vampire was chasing her.

…………

The four of them had been traveling for almost half a month, from the dusty border town under the setting sun to the bustling capital.

The city gates stood majestically, and the people coming and going were dressed smartly, a stark contrast to the rough and rugged atmosphere of the border town.

Looking at the bustling crowds of the capital from the carriage, Xiao Mei exclaimed, "It's so prosperous and lively here! The clothes these people wear are so much better than those in the border town. Look at that dress, it's so beautiful! No wonder it's the capital!" It's truly enviable!

That's right, the people who came were the four handsome young men and beautiful young women who had previously skipped work because of Ji Yingying.

“Even in their finest clothes, none of them possess your breathtaking beauty. In my heart, you are the most beautiful,” the doctor suddenly said, causing Xiao Mei to lower her head shyly, two blushes appearing on her face.

The young master, standing to the side, looked coldly at the doctor: "All you do is talk a good game. You like those dresses? I'll have someone buy them for you right away!"

"Someone, go and buy back that dress from earlier!"

"Yes, young master." The two subordinates responded and hurriedly ran to the shop next door.

Xiao Mei quickly refused, "No need, my dress is fine, you don't need to spend money. Let's hurry up and find Sister Ji. She said that once we get to the capital, we can find her by asking about the Ji residence. Sister Ji loves to sleep, I wonder if she's awake yet?"

She changed the subject: "Since we're all going to the capital, we should hurry up and visit Sister Ji's mother. She was in such a hurry when she left."

Two weeks ago, the day after Ji Yingying left, they decided to go to the capital to see her. Moreover, with doctors there, they could help if Ji Yingying's mother was in any danger.

"Let's find someone to ask where the Ji residence is located!"

A passing vendor asked Xiaomei, "Excuse me, ma'am, where is the Ji residence? We are friends of the Ji family's younger sister and have come here specifically to find her."

"You're young Master Ji's good friends, huh?" the man said warmly, and even offered them a few steamed buns.

"Yes, we met about two weeks ago. I heard her mother was sick, and since my brother is a doctor, I came here specifically to see if he could help her."

When Ji Yingying took leave and skipped work, everyone in the capital knew about it. After all, this little princess would be known as soon as she went out.

However, for some reason, some gossip could be heard later, while others could not.

"I see. Oh, Madam Ji, he wasn't sick. He pretended to be sick to trick people into coming back. Young Master Ji only had twenty days of leave, but he insisted on going out and didn't want to come back. He's such a big kid. He's often kidnapped in the capital, let alone outside. The idea of ​​pretending to be sick was actually suggested by us all."

"Huh?" The four looked at each other, as if they didn't understand what it meant.

"You should walk this road straight until you see the Ji residence. At this time, I don't know if young Lady Ji has returned from court yet. However, she often skips her morning roll call and runs around all day long. But if there are many people around, young Lady Ji will definitely be there."

"I see, thank you very much, ma'am."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. Come and have some steamed buns, and then please give these buns to Lady Ji and tell her to come here often for steamed buns!"

She can earn half a year's worth of money in one trip, how could she not be happy?

"Okay, we'll definitely bring it."

Then... along the way, many people asked them to bring things, as if they all knew they were there to see Ji Yingying.

Moreover, it's easy to imagine how popular Ji Yingying is in the capital!

"Ji Meimei is so popular, I can hardly carry all of them." Not only Xiaomei couldn't carry them all, but the three of them could hardly carry them all either, they had everything, all kinds of things.

When they arrived at the Ji residence, they happened to meet Yanni, who was about to go out. Upon hearing that the four were her sister's friends, she quickly welcomed them inside.

"These are..."

"Sister-in-law, we asked for directions when we entered the city, and somehow, people along the way asked us to bring these to Sister Ji."

After putting them down, all four of them felt exhausted. The items weren't heavy, but there were so many different kinds!

"Oh... next time you can just refuse directly. They won't make things difficult for you. Nowadays, the people on this street all want their sister to come often, and they also feel sorry for her."

"Sister-in-law, how come Sister Ji is so popular?"

This is really strange. However, considering that she put out the fire and was later demoted to prefect, she seemed to be genuinely doing things for the people.

"Now no one in the capital is starving or freezing anymore, and my family has become much wealthier, all thanks to my sister. This wealth is gradually spreading throughout the Tianyou Dynasty."

"Those corn, sweet potatoes, and so on all came from Sister Ji?" the merchant asked in astonishment. What a tremendous achievement! No wonder she was so highly regarded!

"Yes, she might be back a little late today. She just saw her elder brother off out of the city. Why don't the four of you rest here for a while and wait for her to return before coming over?"

The four nodded in agreement. This young lady was destined for great things, so why should they rush things?

"In that case, please follow me." He arranged for us to stay in a guest room next to the Four Seasons Residence.

"The four of you, there is a young lady living in the courtyard next door. She is straightforward and honest, so please don't take offense at her."

"Sister-in-law, what are you saying? We are honored to have such a guest. We would never stoop to Miss Biao's level."

Upon hearing this, Jenny bowed and left.

Instead of resting, the four of them began to discuss the matter, and it was rare for them to discuss it so calmly.

This wouldn't normally happen!

...

After seeing Ji Jiaming off out of the city, Ji Yingying originally planned to go out for drinks and entertainment to express her sadness.

To everyone's surprise, a servant came to report that three young masters and one young lady had come to visit her.

Who is it? I don't even know I have friends these days!

She wanted to befriend the young ladies from prominent families, but everyone seemed a little afraid of her, and some were even trying to curry favor with her, which she really disliked.

Furthermore, the distinction between men and women... goes without saying. So, having grown up, I really don't have many friends. My only friend went back to the modern world.

【Our handsome and beautiful little ones are here!】

Oh, these four aren't required to participate anymore?

[I watched the latest episode, and everything seems normal now. I'm making friends normally. What's going on? Could it be because of you? No, no, no… that's impossible, you're not that charming!]

What the heck? My charm isn't that great... If you want to argue, just say so, I'm incredibly charming...

Ji Yingying headed back home and went straight to the guest room where the four people were staying.

"Hi... everyone, long time no see~" She smiled warmly, looking as gentle as a spring breeze!
