Bai Zhi knelt down and said, "Thank you, Miss. I'll go home for a few days, but I don't need any money. I still have some small change on me."

"Here, I don't like to talk too much."

Bai Zhi took it, because she knew her young lady would get angry if she refused again.

Recently, when eating, her young lady doesn't like her nagging and says she disturbs her while she is eating.

Madam Xu also spoke up: "Baizhi, take this money and buy something when you get home."

"Thank you, ma'am." Bai Zhi went back to her room.

When Xu Jinyi was halfway through her meal, her father and second and third brothers came back.

When Third Brother Xu saw Xu Jinyi being tortured like this, he slammed his palm on the table with a look of anger on his face.

Second Brother Xu was the calmest among the group. He said nothing but asked Xu Jinyi to have a good rest and take care of his health.

Xu Jinyi looked at the second brother and understood clearly that among the three brothers, this was the most sinister one.

Anyone he targeted was unlucky.

Her father was a tutor, her eldest brother was a military commander, her third brother was a civil official, but her second brother ignored her father's opposition and resolutely embarked on the path of business.

Xu Jinyi still remembers what her second brother said when her father tried his best to stop him.

The eldest and third brothers in the family are officials in the court, and they have both civil and military positions, so the rest of the money is earned by him.

He also inherited his grandfather's true skills, and his business grew bigger and bigger.

Three years ago, when my eldest brother was fighting the enemy at the border, his food supplies were burned, and he and hundreds of thousands of civilians were trapped in the city.

The situation was critical at that time. If they had no food, the enemy would have easily exhausted them.

The imperial court was still struggling with whether to purchase food and supplies due to the deficit in the national treasury.

Her second brother was capable and took out a large sum of money to buy food and supplies and transported them over.

At that time, her second brother's action won him a lot of fame.

Although officials, workers, farmers and merchants are all included, merchants are considered lowly in the eyes of officials.

But that time, what Xu Erge did changed the young man who had previously ridiculed him for degenerating into a businessman's image.

And Brother Xu was also personally appointed as the Imperial Merchant by the Emperor.

Second Brother Xu sat down, took a bite of food and said, "What do you think about this, little sister? What are your plans for the future?"

"What can I say? I wish him a bright future, a successful career, and everything he wishes for."

Third Brother Xu's eyes widened: "Sister, are you stupid? He treated you like that, and you still hope he lives a good life. Do you like him that much?"

Brother Xu San was a little jealous.

Only Second Brother Xu rubbed Xu Jinyi's head lovingly: "Okay, then let's wish him all his wishes come true."

"Second brother?" Brother Xu was also unhappy.

Xu Jinyi put down his chopsticks after finishing his meal and stopped his mother from speaking: "Don't talk, I want to have a good sleep. Tomorrow is a new day."

Mrs. Liu watched Xu Jinyi leave with hatred in her eyes, and immediately ran back to the warehouse.

Seeing the huge warehouse completely empty, she almost resorted to her previous tantrum.

"Yan'er, how can I live like this? You let her take away so much money like that?"

Xu Yan was also upset. He sent away the servants who were watching the show, and then went forward to comfort his mother: "Mom, don't worry, these things will be back soon."

"After the princess marries and becomes pregnant, I will coax Yi'er back."

Madam Liu was like an enraged lion when she heard Xu Jinyi's name: "You want that bitch back? Look at what she did today. She can never enter my house again."

"Mother, although Yi'er's family background is not as good as the princess's, her eldest brother holds military power, and her second brother is even richer. Having Yi'er will only be a help to me."

"Yier took so many things today, don't you want to take them back?"

Madam Liu frowned. "Then you shouldn't have divorced her. Shouldn't you have just kept her locked up in that little courtyard? Is there any need to listen to her opinions? You could have just demoted her to a concubine."

"In this case, the things will still be mine."

Not only Mrs. Liu thought so, Liu Yan also regretted it.

At first, he didn't even think about returning the dowry if they divorced.

However, he had already promised the princess that he would send Xu Jinyi out of the house, so he had no choice but to do it.

I don't know where the princess got the news from, but she knew that Xu Jinyi was willing to divorce and leave him so that he could be with the princess.

So the princess came to him to verify it.

Under the princess's angry questioning, Liu Yan had to answer.

"I promised Yi'er that I would only marry her. Now I'm breaking my promise to marry you, and I'm already sorry for her."

"Now we can't let her leave with the reputation of divorce."

After receiving a positive answer, the princess became even angrier: "I think you just can't bear to let her go. Your words about marrying me and loving me are fake. Otherwise, why don't you let her go?"

In this way, Liu Yan compromised for the princess.

Agreed to let Xu Jinyi go.

Now I just hope that when the princess gets married, she can have a bigger dowry than Xu Jinyi.

In this way, Madam Liu also came to terms with it. After all, the princess's dowry was definitely more than that of a minister's daughter, so she was no longer upset.

"What about going to the princess's house tomorrow to propose marriage? How much money do we have left?"

"I'll figure this out. Mom, you go back and rest."

That night, Qi Yichen's leg disease flared up again, and the pain made him look towards the yard next door.

I hope that the heavenly music of the piano can divert his attention at this moment.

But for several days, there was no movement in the yard next door.

Listening from inside, I felt that the yard next door seemed to be deserted.

Qi Yichen looked at the high courtyard wall, and his eyes suddenly caught sight of the note on the pear tree next to him.

Eunuch Deng also followed his gaze and immediately walked over to take the note down.

The way this note is tied is also interesting, just like the ones on the wishing tree in the temple, but there is a small stone on the other end.

Qi Yichen untied the red string and opened it, only to see the words written on it.

"The breeze understands my thoughts, the bright moon illuminates my heart. I am honored to have known you. Thank you for listening."

Qi Yichen took the note and read it twice. A barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

"Your Highness, would you like me to find out which member of the Liu family lives next door?" Eunuch Deng asked when he saw the prince smile.

The prince is now of marriageable age, and it would be nice if he could have someone to accompany him.

It would be even better if the person playing the piano was a young girl.

“No need.”

Eunuch Deng sighed and felt secretly anxious, wondering when the prince's tree would bloom.

After returning to the room, Xu Jinyi fell onto the soft big bed.

"Xiao Qi, how many points do I have now? How many points will it cost to cure Qi Yichen's leg?"

"Yiyi, are you planning to use this to get closer to the male protagonist?"

"Check it out quickly? Do you still want to complete the mission?"

Xiao Qi quickly found the repair potion in the mall. This is the lowest-grade potion in the realm of cultivation.
