As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the bird in the sky fold its wings and swoop down in a posture that Ji Changying was very familiar with, with its claws slightly curled up, heading towards her head.

Ji Changying's face suddenly darkened: "It's really the same one!"

Just seeing Mo Yu's outstretched claws, Ji Changying snorted, pointed his toes, flew up and kicked back at it.

Mo Yu braked suddenly, spread his wings and flew upwards.

It seemed to not understand why this person's movements became so agile, so it obediently folded its wings and landed on the ground, about a meter away from Ji Changying: "Chirp~"

It was not the usual long howl, this sound had a bit of innocence in it.

"Damn bird, why are you here?"

It would take quite a while for the bird to fly from Kyoto to here at its speed, but how did the bird know she was here?

Mo Yu lifted one foot and swung it, and Ji Changying saw the letter tube tied to it at a glance.

She walked forward without hesitation and prepared to take it off.

As soon as it got close, it stretched its neck and pecked at Ji Changying's hand.

If you get pecked by it, a bloody hole will immediately appear on your hand.

Ji Changying was so angry that she gritted her teeth. If she didn't know this bird, she really wanted to kill it.

"Messenger, what do you want to do? If your master knew you delivered the letter but didn't show it to me, he would still want you!"

“Chirp~”

The dark jade green bean-sized eyes stared at Ji Changying, and the mouth pecked the ground, causing the bluestone slab to crack.

Ji Changying frowned and looked at it, then took out a sheep from the space and asked, "Are you hungry?"

“Chirp~”

Ji Changying didn't know why she saw disgust in the eyes of a bird. It even turned its legs and turned its back.

Thinking of how Xie Siheng always cut the meat into thin strips to feed it, Ji Changying understood.

She rolled her eyes and found a piece of pork left in the kitchen. She quickly cut it into several halves and threw them to the dog, saying threateningly, "If you don't eat it, you will starve. If you dare to be picky again, don't blame me for being violent."

Mo Yu reluctantly lowered his head and used his sharp mouth to tear the meat in front of him.

This time, Ji Changying went forward to take the letter from its feet, but the dead bird did not resist at all.

I opened the mailbox and found two letters inside.

One of the letters was written in unfamiliar handwriting, with the words "Father's personal letter" written on it. Ji Changying guessed that it was from Jin Yuanbao to the money tree.

Ji Changying opened the other useless envelope directly.

What caught my eye was Xie Siheng's handwriting, which simply said that he was doing well in Kyoto and not to worry.

Ji Changying was just about to complain when she saw the content below which was about the situation in the capital.

Since Prince Duan was imprisoned, Prince Zhuang, Prince Xuan and Prince Yi, except Prince Ping, have become more active than the other, running around every day to win over the ministers in the court.

The emperor was confused and watched his sons fighting with each other, seemingly without any bias.

Just secretly investigating an old case from decades ago.

As for Prince Ping, none of the princes in the capital took him seriously, but they had to write letters to win him over and test him, after all, Prince Ping had military power.

Ji Changying was a little confused. Why did Xie Siheng suddenly talk to her about the situation in the capital?

But this was not a bad thing for her, so she gladly accepted the letter, unfolded it, picked out what had happened to her recently, wrote a reply letter, and tied it to Mo Yu's feet again.

"Okay, I replied, you can go now!"

Ji Changying waved her hand, signaling it to move forward.

Mo Yu, full and satisfied, stood there combing her feathers, ignoring them.

"...Okay, it's up to you."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of leaving, Ji Changying took a bowl of water and placed it on the ground, then locked the door and went home.

The bird can leave whenever it wants. It is not restrained in the yard and can leave at any time.

She locked the door and wandered back home.

As soon as I arrived at the village entrance, I saw a few old men sitting on the big stone slab at the entrance, chatting animatedly.

"Last night, the firewood pile in front of the Ji family's wife's door was set on fire, and the windows were smashed. How many times has this happened?"

"That's been three or four times, right? It's really pitiful. It's obvious that Liu Guizi had someone do it."

"Let me tell you, there are so many cases of widows remarrying. If I were her, if I didn't want to marry Liu Quezi, I would just find a man to marry myself and stop Liu Quezi from thinking about it."

"Tsk tsk tsk, what do you know! Do you really think that Liu Quezi is easy to mess with? You caught his eye and you still want to get married? He can ruin any of your marriages..."

A few old men were sitting there talking about the village gossip in an equally enthusiastic manner. When they got excited, the saliva in their mouths flew onto the faces of the people opposite them. The other party didn't mind and just wiped it off and continued to join in the discussion.

Four or five people were talking heatedly when someone nudged the person next to him and winked at him.

"Aying! You're back? What have you been doing?"

An old man saw Ji Changying change the subject and immediately looked at her and greeted her in a friendly manner, as if he was not the one gossiping before.

Ji Changying smiled and nodded: "Let's go to the city to buy some things."

"Let's rest here for a while. When you come back, go home!"

The old man smiled and waved his hand, watching her walk away before turning around and continuing.

Ji Changying put the idle chat behind her and on the way home she saw Ji Fengshou and his brothers Ji Shilin carrying some wooden boards and tools and walking towards the Lin family's yard.

"father!"

Ji Fengshou turned his head when he heard the shout.

"What are you doing?"

Ji Fengshou looked somewhat helpless as he pointed at Lin's yard and said, "Her house was damaged. She asked the clan members to help repair it early in the morning. I came to take a look at the situation."

"Then I'll go with you." Ji Changying took the lead and walked towards Lin's small courtyard.

The two brothers Ji Shilin went to nail the windows, while Ji Ruofeng followed beside them, watching the steps carefully and handing a board to someone from time to time.

The small yard was in a mess, with traces of fire on the ground, smashed windows and half-torn-down walls, all silently telling people what had happened here.

Lin sat in the yard, her face pale and her eyes lifeless.

Ji Fengshou couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene: "The other party is becoming more and more unscrupulous."

At first, they just threw some stones at Lin's yard, and later they smashed things. It was not as serious as this time when they burned and smashed things.

The courtyard walls almost no longer exist. Doesn’t this mean that anyone can come and go as they please from now on?

"Lin, tomorrow I will bring a few strong men from the clan to the next village to ask Liu Quezi for an explanation. You will stay at someone else's house for the next two days until your house is repaired."

Lin's eyes gradually regained focus: "No need."

Ji Changying raised an eyebrow: "No need for what?"

"No need to bring people to find Liu Quezi."

Lin replied expressionlessly.
