Ji Xiao snorted coldly, "Look at what he has become now! He just eats, drinks and has fun all day long, not doing his job properly."

Ji Yunzhou held his waist nonchalantly and wanted to leave.

Ji Xiao stopped him, "Starting tomorrow, you will go to the training grounds and go to war with me in a few days!"

"What?"

"Not going?"

Two voices sounded at the same time.

Cao spoke first, "Master, the battlefield is full of swords and merciless weapons. Yun Zhou has never been good at martial arts since he was a child, so how can he go? Just let Yun Che accompany you."

"This is the first time my mother agrees with me."

After hearing this, Cao lowered her head feeling guilty.

Ji Xiao angrily said, "What do you, a woman, know?"

"Master, I...what did I say wrong?"

"What? Don't you know what you did wrong?" When Ji Xiao was young, he was also a decisive and ruthless person. In recent years, as he got older, his temper has become more restrained.

Ji Yunzhou usually looks like a kind person, but when he gets angry, he is a typical example.

Cao had been timid in her heart for a long time, but she didn't want to lose face in front of Ji Yunzhou, so she forced herself to say, "Master, what did I do wrong? I'm doing this for Yunzhou's own good, isn't it?"

"Don't be so nice. Mother, since you are doing this for my own good, please give me a thousand taels as a token of your appreciation."

"you……"

"Shut up, you rebellious son." Ji Xiao looked at Cao again and said directly, "I know exactly what you're thinking. If you don't have the capacity to tolerate others, then go back to your Cao family."

This was almost like saying he wanted to divorce his wife, and Cao's legs went weak.

Ji Yunche hurriedly supported her, "Dad, Mom is a woman with limited knowledge. Please don't argue with her."

Ji Xiao waved his hand and said tiredly, "Second brother, take your mother back first."

After leaving the yard, Cao couldn't wait to grab Ji Yunche's hand and said, "Che'er, think of a way to prevent Ji Yunzhou from going to the battlefield with your father."

Ji Yunche sighed and said helplessly, "Mom, why do you always have to go against Big Brother?"

Upon hearing this, Cao's face darkened and she said in dissatisfaction, "Am I making things difficult for your eldest brother? It's clearly your father who's biased! If I don't fight for it, what's your role?"

"Mom, Dad has never been partial to Big Brother."

"What do you know? My son is so good, how can that playboy compare? But your father still wanted to leave the mansion to that playboy. Even your mother, I, haven't even had a royal consort for all these years. But the previous one, as soon as she entered the house, your father asked for an imperial decree to give her a royal consort."

Ji Yunche smiled and comforted her, "Mother, don't overthink it. Big brother is the eldest son of the Marquisate, so the Marquisate is naturally his. As for your imperial edict, I will fight for it for you."

After hearing her son's words, Cao finally smiled. "My son is filial, and I know that. But you still have to find a way to stop that rebellious son. You can't let him achieve success before you."

Ji Yunche shook his head helplessly.

After sending Cao away, Ji Xiao brought up the imperial edict, "Zhou'er, the emperor has ordered me to lead the expedition to Northern Zhao. If my guess is correct, this matter is probably related to Prince Su, right?"

"What does it have to do with the prince?"

Ji Xiao sighed and said earnestly, "At fifty, one understands destiny. God's will is unpredictable. Dad only truly understood it in the past few years."

"I'm tired today. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Stop! Dad is nagging me because he doesn't want you to grow up to be as old as me and realize that destiny is controlled by man, not heaven. Between you and Prince Su..."

"None of your business is my business. If you want to take charge, give me the five hundred taels first." Ji Yunzhou said and left.

"you……"
