Aunt Ji came out with a broom and drove away the big rooster that was fluttering around Ji Yunhuan. Her voice was so loud that it scared the chickens in the yard and made them run back to the chicken coop.
"Why are you out of bed again? Your mother sent you here to recuperate, not to have fun. You've ruined all the chickens, ducks, pigs, and dogs at home. I told you the chickens have already eaten, and if you feed them again, they won't go out to look for food tomorrow."
Aunt Ji took the gourd from Ji Yunhuan's hand. There was still some rice left in it. Aunt Ji became even more angry. "This refined rice is for people to eat. Who told you to feed it to chickens? What a waste of food! And if you let the chickens out, there will be chicken shit everywhere, and you will complain about it being dirty..."
Ji Yunhuan was afraid of Aunt Ji's nagging, so he immediately stuffed a piece of glutinous rice cake into Aunt Ji's mouth and begged for mercy:
"Alright, alright, Aunt Ji, please forgive me. I came here just to get some peace and quiet. I was scolded by my father at home, and by my elder and second brothers. My mother was even more exaggerated. She was also sick. She wanted to run to Linlang Garden ten times a day and cry every time she saw me."
Aunt Ji swallowed the glutinous rice cake in her mouth, took away all the food from Ji Yunhuan's hand, and glared at her fiercely, "Don't eat anything carelessly, drink the medicinal food first, and you will say you are full and refuse to drink later."
"I think you deserve to be scolded! You drink such poisonous wine without hesitation. If you were my daughter, I would definitely beat you up to vent my anger. It's just that my wife is soft-hearted and can't bear to hit you!"
Aunt Ji raised the three children in the Prime Minister's Mansion. When Ji Yunhuan was born, Aunt Ji already had her own daughter, so Aunt Ji was also Ji Yunhuan's wet nurse and had a deeper affection for Ji Yunhuan.
Zhuo Wei trusted Aunt Ji very much, so she gave the farm closest to the capital to Aunt Ji.
When Ji Yunhuan was a child, she often went to Taoli Village to play. The villagers thought that Ji Yunhuan was Aunt Ji's niece. Aunt Ji's daughter was married and her husband was doing business outside. Every time Ji Yunhuan came, she was actually very happy.
Only she dared to teach Ji Yunhuan a lesson like this.
Ji Yunhuan forced herself to drink the bitter and astringent medicinal food. She suspected that Aunt Ji was deliberately making trouble for her, because the medicinal food Aunt Ji made in the past was not so unpalatable.
In fact, she was fine. The incident happened suddenly that day, and she didn't know Shangguan Ruoxue would poison her. She didn't have any poison remover on her.
She was able to stay alive because of those mysterious "treasures". She used the detoxification pill and the fake death pill. If she didn't have the fake death pill, she wouldn't be able to hide it from Zhao Hei and others.
Ji Yunhuan stuffed the medicine bowl into Aunt Ji's arms and said cheerfully, "I'll go catch the chickens! Don't worry, Aunt Ji, not a single one will escape!"
The crowing of a rooster was heard again in the yard. Ji Yunhuan was covered in chicken feathers. He stuffed the chicken back with great interest and took two eggs.
Aunt Ji shook her head and sighed, "A good young lady likes to pick chickens and dogs and never stops. I wonder whose family she will bring trouble to in the future?"
A woman wearing a gray coat, a headscarf, and with rough hands came out of the house and cleaned up the chicken feathers and filth in the yard very quickly.
She wiped her hands on her clothes and nervously took the egg handed to her by Ji Yunhuan.
"We'll have scrambled eggs tonight. You don't have to be so scared. Aunt Ji is a good person. She'll take you in and won't chase you away."
The woman remained silent and went to the kitchen to cook.
Aunt Ji muttered, "It's obvious that you want to take her in. What's a woman like her, with no relatives or friends, doing in the capital? She knows nothing and refuses to say anything. How can we know if she's a bad person?"
"She doesn't look like a woman in her thirties to me. She's in her early twenties at most. If you say she's poor, she can actually read. If you say she's from a wealthy family, her hands are even rougher than mine. She must have suffered a lot."
Ji Yunhuan teased the big yellow dog lying at the door with a meat bone and said with a smile, "She came from Jinzhou and must have aged after being exposed to the wind and sun along the way. Aunt Ji, just consider it a good deed. Anyway, I think your yard needs a maid to take care of it."
Aunt Ji said angrily, "Okay, okay, okay! You always have your reasons. Stop playing around. You're covered in chicken feathers. Go change your clothes and get ready for dinner."
The big yellow dog was barking. Ji Yunhuan had had enough fun and finally threw a bone to it. The big yellow dog wagged its tail and chewed the bone with great relish. It didn't even pay attention to the stranger hiding outside the yard.
Long Lin found a place to hide and stared at Ji Yunhuan for a long time.
His heart was finally at ease. Only by seeing it with his own eyes could he be sure that Ji Yunhuan was really still alive!
It’s a pity that Ji Yunhuan will never recognize him again.
Just now he almost rushed out to recognize her, but the barking of the big yellow dog brought him back to his senses.
If he came so rashly, he would not be able to explain the relationship between them at all. He needed to make Ji Yunhuan recognize him again.
…
…
The next morning, Ji Yunhuan heard the howling of a big yellow dog in the yard.
She felt something in her heart and rushed out impatiently, holding up her skirt.
The big yellow dog was guarding the door, not even bothering to eat the food in the dog bowl, and growling at the man at the door with bared teeth.
This guy came yesterday, but he didn't bite anyone, so I let this bad guy go. But he came again today. He is so arrogant!
Before the man left, the big yellow dog pounced on him with a howl.
"Da Huang! Stop biting people!"
Ji Yunhuan shouted, and the big yellow dog felt a little aggrieved, and its tail drooped. Ji Yunhuan added two pieces of meat to the big yellow dog, and the big yellow dog became happy and ate even more happily.
The two looked at each other, a breeze blew gently, and the gardenias by the fence were in full bloom, with a subtle fragrance floating in the air, refreshing the heart.
Time seemed to stop in an instant, and each other's shadows were reflected in their clear eyes.
