Chapter 100 Floating

The next day, Granny Wang got up at dawn.

The black cat that had just been found had a special liking for the stick with bells tied to it. Grandma Wang thought about it, then took her granddaughter to the market on crutches and bought a bunch of bells.

On the way there and back, Granny Wang chatted with neighbors all the way and knew everything that happened in Yuzhou yesterday.

The biggest event yesterday was the city-wide manhunt for Master Shiyan.

Granny Wang calmly took the news to heart. She took her granddaughter back to the house and said, "Nannan, did you remember everything the aunts said just now?"

The freckled girl nodded and began to recount, "The Yu family sent many people to look for Master Shiyan, but they couldn't find him last night. Miss Yu was furious. Aunt Hua's son, a waiter at Zuixianlou, saw Miss Yu smashing the cups and bowls. Also, Aunt Liu's third sister and second daughter-in-law's third brother's youngest son is coming to Yuzhou to study in three days."

Granny Wang smiled. "Yes, dear girl, you've memorized it all. You should know that our Wang family fortune-telling doesn't rely on the I Ching or anything like that, but on a good memory and the ability to gather information. If you want to gather information, you must build good relationships with your neighbors. Our Wang ancestors said that building good relationships should start from childhood. Over the years, you will learn a lot."

Grandma Wang grabbed a few bells and handed a few coins to her granddaughter: "Go, buy some candy and play with those boys and girls!"

The girl jumped up happily.

After teaching her granddaughter how to tell fortunes, Grandma Wang returned to the yard and put down the bell.

The daughter-in-law from the next yard also prepared breakfast and brought it over. Granny Wang carried the breakfast and knocked on the door of Wu Weian and Ji Yunxi's room. She hunched over and said respectfully, "Master, Master, are you two awake?"

But after waiting for a while, there was no movement inside.

Granny Wang called again, raising her voice: "Master? Young Master?"

There was still no movement inside.

Granny Wang hesitated for a long time, fearing that something might have happened inside, and pushed the door open and went in.

After entering, I found that the place was empty.

Moreover, the quilt embroidered with bright red peonies on the bed had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the bare bed board.

-

In a valley outside Yuzhou City, there is a clear pool of water.

The sunshine in the early morning of June is also very strong, making the water slightly warm, which is just right for people to be in, neither too cold nor too hot.

There is green grass everywhere, and unknown wild flowers are blooming, accompanied by the melodious singing of birds in the deep forest, which makes people feel happy.

However, the bright red peony quilt on the meadow ahead was a bit of an eyesore.

The woman's soft white skin is reflected in the clear water, but if you look closely, you will find many colorful red patches.

There was a man beside the woman. A drop of water slid down his hair, along his back which was like the undulating mountains in the distance, and dripped onto the water surface, creating ripples.

The man was lifting the woman's feet and massaging her delicate calves.

The woman felt unbearable pain, so she put one hand on the man's back and said with a cold face: "Be gentle!"

Wu Wei'an looked up, somewhat helplessly: "Madam, you should move more often. You only ran for a short while yesterday afternoon, why is it like this?"

Ji Yunxi reminded him: "You still have 75,000 taels with me."

Wu Weian paused and said, "Madam, do you still want to blame me?"

Ji Yunxi snorted coldly.

Wu Wei'an chuckled: "Madam, this is very unkind. Did I not serve you well last night?"

Hearing this, Ji Yunxi didn't say anything.

At this moment, she still felt a little weak all over.

After all, she learned a lot of "talents" in a brothel, and Ji Yunxi had to admit that her ability to serve people was unique in the world.

She looked up at the sunlight above and asked, "How are you going to solve the Yu family problem?"

Wu Wei'an: "As long as Yu Conghuai dies."

Once Yu Conghuai dies, the Yu family will be in chaos, and Yu Qing will naturally find a way to take the throne on his own.

In the letter that Yu Qing handed over, what he wanted Wu Weian to help him solve was to kill Yu Conghuai.

It just so happened that Ji Yunxi wanted to see how the power behind him operated, so Wu Weian brought Ji Yunxi over to take a look.

Otherwise, Wu Weian would not have to make the trip in person for these trivial matters.

Ji Yunxi hummed: "Can it be solved tonight?"

Wu Wei'an: "Can't we let him live a few more days?"

Ji Yunxi: "Let's finish it tonight, and then set off back to Liangzhou tomorrow."

Wu Weian: "Madam, are you in such a hurry to return? I've only visited Yuzhou, and there are other places..."

"No need." Ji Yunxi interrupted him, looking at the increasingly scorching sun in the sky. She wanted to get back to the ice house in Liangzhou as soon as possible, instead of traveling day and night, being led around by this bastard. "I have a general understanding of your power, so there is no need to go anywhere else. Just draw up a list of personnel from various places for me afterwards."

Wu Wei'an followed her and looked at the sun in the sky, then smiled and said, "Okay."

Wu Weian thought for a moment and said, "However, there are still some good places in Yuzhou that you can visit. If Madam is interested in Chunfeng Pavilion..."

Ji Yunxi glanced at him and said coldly, "Not interested."

Wu Weian: “…”

Ji Yunxi curled her lips and suddenly said, "You brought me to Yuzhou, did you want me to know that you were very popular in the past?"

Wu Weian looked up at the sky and said nothing.

She stood up from the water, glanced at him with a smile, and walked to the shore step by step.

After the two of them finished washing up, Ji Yunxi took off her mask, used her own identity, and lived comfortably in the exquisite mansion.

Having barely slept the entire night before, she fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.

When Ji Yunxi woke up, it was already night.

She rubbed her temples, got up from the bed, and saw Wu Weian putting on his nightgown.

Ji Yunxi raised her eyebrows: "Are you going to the Yu family in person?"
