"Why am I telling you all this? It's a matter of time anyway. I just want to delay it. Let's not talk about this anymore."

Kou Yunyi quickly adjusted her mood and diverted her attention before Ji Changying could figure out how to start talking.

"Do you know? The people who sent tribute to the capital came back and said that the pot of flowers presented to them received continuous praise from the emperor. When the news came back, Zhang Leyao was so proud that she spread the word that she would be the Crown Prince's Consort soon, and she was waiting for the Crown Prince and the Princess to come and make the engagement. But after waiting for half a month, there was no movement at the Prince Ping's Mansion. I don't know how many people laughed at her behind her back..."

——

Ji Fengyi was originally worried that the family's fields would be too busy for several people to handle, but he didn't expect that the crops were almost finished.

"The only thing left is the rice paddies, but Aying said we can start in the next two days. The seedlings are already grown."

Ji Fengshou finished telling everyone what happened in the fields, and before anyone else could react, he explained Zhou's life story.

After all, these are all family members, there is nothing to hide.

Several people were stunned by the amount of information contained in the words.

Things happened one after another and I had no time to react.

Ji Changchuan stood up with his eyes wide open: "As the head of the family, I was the last to know!"

Ji Fengshou knocked him on the forehead in anger: "Your father is not dead yet, and you want to rebel!"

Ji Changchuan was dissatisfied: "Don't you know how reliable you and mother are? Sister... is just a little better than before. I have been working hard for this family for so many years, so why can't I be considered the head of the family?"

Ji Fengshou glared at him: "How am I unreliable? Your father is not only in charge of the family now, but also of the Ji family!"

"That can't hide the fact that you weren't reliable before! When I was four and my sister was eight, you and Mom tricked us into giving you snacks! When we went to Grandma's house, you and Mom took all the red envelopes given by our uncles, leaving us at home while you went out to eat, drink, and play. When you came back, you didn't even wipe your mouth clean and lied to us that you went to work!"

"I finally took my sister and me out to play, but you two forgot us on the ox cart and ended up taking us to the next village. I walked with my sister until dark before we got home! And you didn't let me tell my uncle and the others!"

With every word Ji Changchuan spoke, Ji Fengshou's momentum waned a bit. In the end, he didn't even dare to look up at the eyes of his elder brother and nephews.

"besides···"

Before Ji Changchuan could finish his words, Ji Fengshou covered his mouth with his hand: "Yes, yes, you are the head of our family!"

He didn't know why this child had such a good memory and how he could remember so many things?

Ji Changchuan snorted, knowing to give him some face, and didn't say anything more excessive.

Ji Fengyi's face turned pale.

He didn't expect that his younger brother would do so many outrageous things under his nose. No wonder he couldn't maintain any authority in front of the child.

The two nephews looked at their noses and mouths, as if they heard nothing.

Ji Fengyi covered his mouth and coughed lightly, trying to save some of his brother's dignity in front of the younger generation: "Do you have any clues about Zhou's biological parents?"

Ji Fengshou felt as if he had been pardoned when he heard his elder brother's words of relief: "A Ying said it might be someone from the palace..."

After hearing this, several people lost their joking mood and listened to Ji Fengshou finish his words with serious expressions.

——

While waiting for dinner, the group looked as if nothing had happened, but it was obvious that their appetites had decreased a lot.

Zhang Leyao complained that the food was not delicate enough, the taste was not good enough, and the food was too rough. Ji Changying could no longer bear it and slammed the table and looked at her.

Zhang Leyao was so frightened that the rest of her words got stuck in her throat and she didn't dare to utter a single word.

The nanny and maid who were serving her were terrified and no longer looked down on Ji Changying.

They have been following the girl for so many years and have never seen her afraid of anyone.

This is the first time he's been so obedient after being yelled at.

"What are you looking at? No one is talking, so what if I say a few words..." Perhaps feeling embarrassed, Zhang Leyao muttered softly in an attempt to save face.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll put a slap on your head!"

Ji Changying glanced at her coldly and sat down to eat his meal.

She always does what she says. Zhang Leyao immediately fell silent, and you could hear a pin drop at the dinner table.

The meal ended hastily. Kou Yunyi sighed in her heart. If she had known that it would be bad for her to go out, she would have turned back. Now it was so embarrassing...

After a busy day, everyone lay down to rest early after dinner, but Ji Changying couldn't sleep.

She entered the space.

A large area inside where the grain was originally stored had been cleared out, and the black dog was lying on the gold and silver box with its four legs in the air, sleeping soundly, looking very comfortable.

Thinking of what Mr. Huang said, Ji Changying had a complicated expression.

Unexpectedly, these gold and silver were left over from the previous dynasty, and no wonder the black dog started following her after receiving the gold and silver.

Because it can't live without these things at all!

Ji Changying reached out and poked it twice, then left the space.

After taking a look and seeing that most people in the yard were asleep, she tiptoed out of the yard and headed straight for the city.

The yard that was bought was not small. It was a small courtyard with two entrances and more than a dozen vacant rooms in the front and back.

Liu Shicong chose a side room in the front yard with slightly better lighting to live in. At this moment, he was sitting quietly on a chair, waiting for the elusive man to come and find him.

Ji Changying went to the backyard and found four empty rooms. She filled each room with food one by one, then returned to the gate and walked slowly and heavier towards Liu Shicong's room.

Hearing the unusual footsteps, Liu Shicong was startled and quickly ran to the window to check.

It was still the familiar black clothes, the shape was strange but it inexplicably made Liu Shi feel relieved.

Ji Changying stepped on the ground and jumped into the room: "Have you invited the guests?"

"Yes, I got it. I was lucky. When I went to Hengtong Escort Agency, their boss happened to come to check the accounts. He took the job personally. I have prepared all the necessary equipment and prepared a good excuse. The store has also made all the arrangements. We are just waiting for the goods to arrive and we will set off immediately."

"The owner of Hengtong Escort Agency?"

Ji Changying was a little surprised.

"Yes, although their boss looks a bit ferocious, he is experienced and skilled. The men he brings with him also look extraordinary. One of them has a big beard and wields a big sword with great vigor. He looks quite intimidating. I feel that with them, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"And I've heard that Hengtong Escort has a very good reputation. They not only have branches in Liangzhou, but also in Xizhou and Jiangzhou. They're a big escort company."

Wait, why does this sound so familiar?

Ji Changying couldn't help but frown.
