[Not bad, not bad, that's my style. People like that, if they want to go back to an ex, they'd better consider whether they have the ability to back them up.]
But that man plans to hire someone to kidnap Granny Xia! Will you save her?
【when?】
【tomorrow! 】
[We can deal with tomorrow's problems tomorrow. Besides, Granny Xia comes from the Eastern Palace; she must have some abilities. With the guards protecting her, we don't need to worry about her being bullied.]
But that man... has syphilis!
[Good heavens, what kind of look is that, Granny Xia? How could she have coveted something like this when she was young?]
[The world is full of temptations and allurements; you should intervene. Otherwise, you'll lose such a good nanny as Granny Xia. What if a fierce one comes along and bullies you?]
What should I do? I can't retaliate. You have to deal with bad people the way bad people treat you. Besides, I'm not exactly a good person myself.
Yes, yes, you're a little bully, someone everyone fears.
Xiangxiang was speechless; her little darling seemed to be getting harder and harder to please.
It's all the Emperor's fault, and those officials who have all flattered her like this.
Hmph~ Good thing you know!
That arrogant brat~
It was already past nine o'clock when they returned to the palace. The Emperor waved his hand and said directly, "Tomorrow's morning court will be postponed to the afternoon. My dear minister, eat your fill before you go to court."
"Received!" Ji Yingying gave him an OK sign steadily. The Emperor looked at his gesture and also made an OK sign.
Back in the room, Ji Yingying looked at the busy Xia Mama and cautiously asked, "Mama, have people come looking for you these past two days?"
Granny Xia could occasionally hear Ji Yingying's thoughts, so she knew that nothing could be hidden from her. She immediately said, "Yes, when I was young, I was blind and fell in love with someone I shouldn't have. Today, that wretched thing came looking for me, and I threw him out."
"Okay, I understand. By the way, he will probably come again, and he may bring syphilis with him. Be careful. If necessary, have the guards in the manor beat him up and throw him out. Don't do it yourself."
"Thank you for reminding me, Miss."
"You're welcome. Be careful in everything you do," Ji Yingying said with a yawn, then climbed into bed and went to sleep.
They're really giving me a lot of trouble every day.
She woke up very early the next morning, even earlier than her workday. Ji Yingying decided to read a storybook in the room, as it was her spiritual nourishment and she couldn't live without it.
[He does absolutely nothing productive, all he does is read storybooks.]
[If you're so capable, let me play on my phone then. I don't have a phone or a tablet right now, and if I don't read some stories, my mind won't be at peace.]
"Miss, it's time to get up." Apple brought in a glass of water.
"Oh~"
[Host, that thing is looking for Granny Xia. It's at the door. Do you want to go take a look? There are quite a few people watching.]
Ji Yingying's eyes lit up, and she jumped out of bed and ran outside. Apple immediately grabbed her clothes and chased after her.
"Miss, you mustn't do this..." But who would listen to her?
Upon reaching the entrance, Ji Yingying looked out and saw that, having listened to Ji Yingying's words yesterday, Granny Xia had brought many guards to the entrance today.
[Is this what you mean by secretly kidnapping someone?] This is clearly kidnapping someone openly and honestly.
【Oh dear, didn't you remind her? When that scoundrel asked the old woman to go out, she just took the guards with her.】
Oh... what was originally done secretly has now become done openly?
Yes, this tactic of "stirring up the enemy in the grass" might not even work.
[You're the system, don't you know that?]
【hehe……】
Not long after, Ji Jiayu returned, accompanied by officials, indicating that someone had reported the matter to the authorities.
Because they were quite far away, Ji Yingying didn't hear what the people outside were saying. However, that bastard was soon taken away by Ji Jiayu.
"Solved?"
"Yes, Miss, the nanny is very capable. Let's go back and wash up; you have to go to court later."
I went to see a show, but I only saw the end. It was boring!
Ji Yingying went back to her room, washed up, changed her clothes, ate a bowl of chicken noodle soup, and continued reading her storybook. She wouldn't go out until the very last minute.
"Miss, the carriage is ready. Please hurry and head out, or you'll be late." Granny Xia returned, clearly indicating the matter had been resolved.
"Granny, that scoundrel has been sent inside?"
"Thank you, Miss. I'm being exiled. I'll never be coming back in this lifetime."
[Oh wow~ Not bad. I thought he'd just be locked up for three to five years and then released to abuse people.]
Ji Yingying put down the storybook before leisurely heading out to work.
As soon as she reached the door, it started raining, the ground was wet, and the rain was heavy. Ji Yingying didn't want to go out at all.
When it rains, you should stay home and read storybooks. Who invented this whole "going to work" thing anyway?!
Granny Xia held an umbrella and helped the person onto the carriage, then got on herself, afraid that Ji Yingying might find it troublesome and skip the court session at the last minute.
In the palace, the Emperor looked at the rain and couldn't help but laugh, "I reckon Minister Ji is going to scold me again!"
Standing to the side, Eunuch Cao bowed, his eyes crinkling with laughter: "Your Majesty's words are not an insult from Lord Ji! He was just worried and confused. Besides, Lord Ji is just being stubborn. Yesterday he was looking at the sky and saying that if it rained today, the sweet potatoes would grow faster."
"Hehe...yes, I wanted rain yesterday, and today, God delivered it."
"Go to the palace gate and give the order for her to come in by carriage."
"Yes," Eunuch Cao accepted the order and left. The Emperor looked up at the rain again, thinking that, just as Ji Yingying had said, the sweet potatoes were going to grow well.
...
As soon as she arrived at the palace gate, Ji Yingying was debating whether to just go back. After all, she thought it was easy for everyone else to ask for leave, and she figured it wouldn't be a problem for her either.
Besides, how can you work every day? You need to rest at least, right?
"Is it Lord Ji?"
Eunuch Cao's voice came from outside, and Ji Yingying immediately lifted the carriage curtain: "Eunuch, what is it? Did the Emperor send you to inform you that you are not required to attend court?"
After thinking it over, there's only one thing left to consider.
"No, congratulations, Lord Ji! His Majesty sent me to deliver a message that you are to ride in a carriage to the palace and do not need to stop."
"Are you sure that's what the Emperor said?" Ji Yingying asked incredulously, feeling that this shouldn't be the case!
"Yes, His Majesty sent me to speak with Lord Ji."
Ji Yingying: ...Good heavens!
I thought they were coming to tell me I didn't have to come to work, but... they were just telling me to take a car inside.
Ji Yingying looked somewhat disappointed in him. When she arrived at the Hall of Diligent Governance, many ministers had already arrived.
Wow, these old men are here really early!
Yeah, unlike you, always dawdling...
