Seeing that she was silent, Ji Yingying immediately put some meat in her bowl and said, "Don't worry, sister. There are absolutely no scheming people in our family. Besides, I'm not a troublemaker. I will definitely treat you sincerely after you marry into our family."
Hey, why are you talking like Jenny's going to marry you?
"I dare not marry you; my second brother won't allow it."
Good heavens, your second brother offered to marry him, and you actually did?
Ji Yingying remained silent, chuckled twice, and didn't say much.
"Sister Ji, I have to go back now. It's getting cold. Go back early and don't linger on the street."
"Okay, okay, thank you sister for reminding me." Ji Yingying only brought Rong Er out and no one else, so she had no way to send anyone back.
I could only watch her leave.
As soon as Yanni left, Ji Jiayu came.
As soon as she came in, she looked around and even asked, "Didn't you say your sister from the Yan family was here?"
"Ah...you've come to see him? What a pity, she just went back, you're too late."
Since everyone had left, Ji Jiayu simply sat down and asked the waiter to serve the food and started eating.
"Second brother, I'm going back now. Isn't this a bit much for you?"
Ji Yingying was ready to go back and was full, but when he came, she ordered food and started eating.
They ordered so much food, it's like they were starving!
"Then you go back first, I'll eat something first."
"Okay, then you eat." Ji Yingying hummed, turned around and left the private room and went downstairs.
Are you really not going to wait for your second brother?
Why wait for him? He just said he wanted to go shopping, so naturally we should go.
Hehe~ Let's go eat some melon seeds!
The energy bar has reached 900, which means it's almost a thousand.
Even a thousand yuan isn't enough to buy anything; it's still not enough.
[Eat until you have almost a thousand points, then eat your fill before going home.]
【Good!】Just as I was about to take a walk around the streets, Lord Gongsun sent someone to invite me.
"Why did you invite me over?" Ji Yingying didn't understand, but she followed him to the Dali Temple.
When they arrived at Dali Temple, there were only a few people left. Looking at the busy place, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have someone arrested.
Where did you adults go?
"He went out to arrest someone and hasn't returned yet. However, Lord Gongsun said that Your Highness should wait, and he will be back soon."
"Alright." He sat down in the main seat. There was a file on the table, a case of a body found in a lake.
The body was so badly disfigured that it was impossible to recognize who it was, and there were no clues at the scene.
This case is very troublesome. Coincidentally, Ji Yingying sent two cases to me and wanted to arrest someone, so I simply asked someone to invite her over and ask who the female corpse is.
[Host, now I know why Lord Gongsun summoned you to the Dali Temple.]
"Then tell me, why did you summon me to the Dali Temple?"
[He wants you to solve the case, the one right in front of you. The body was pulled from the lake, but it's unrecognizable; there are no clues at the scene. He's having a headache. Luckily, you had Rong Er send him two cases, so he immediately sent someone to invite you.]
[This...do you know who this corpse is?]
[I don't know. The authorities haven't found anything, so how could I possibly know? There's no juicy gossip. However, there are updates on the two gossip stories from today.]
What kind of service?
The woman who was illegally detained will be beheaded and ordered to pay compensation; as for the hunter, he will also be sentenced to death.
Were both beheaded?
No, one is capital punishment, the other is beheading.
This ending is acceptable.
After sitting for a while, Lord Gongsun came back. He went to dig up the bodies, the bodies of the master and the servant.
"Your Highness, take a look at this case. Do you have any ideas?" Knowing that he had kept people waiting for too long, Lord Gongsun directly asked her to investigate the case of the unidentified corpse.
"I don't know, Lord Gongsun, I don't know."
[Good heavens, it seems like Lord Gongsun doesn't believe me. What does that mean? What reason could he possibly have for not believing me?]
[I think I can also tell he doesn't believe you, host, don't help him.]
"Help? How can I help? I don't even know who this person is." Ji Yingying genuinely didn't know; Xiangxiang had no gossip to share, so naturally she didn't know who it was.
"Okay, I'll send someone to take you back. I'll be busy now."
I feel like I've been abandoned, like someone who takes what they need and throws away what they don't.
I have one too, but he's really busy; it's the end of the year, and he needs to meet his sales targets.
The Ministry of Works had the best performance this year, didn't it? Look at what they've accomplished—they've done everything!
The group left while chatting. When they got home, Eunuch Cao came with an oral order.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has ordered you to attend court tomorrow, and this holiday is coming to an end."
What? Weren't you supposed to give me five days off? I only had four days off.
[Where are you referring to four days? It's clearly three days.]
No, I had one day off at the beginning of the year, then I got kidnapped. I only got three days off after I got back, so that's four days. I still have one day left.
You're right!
"Eunuch, why does the emperor want me to go back to court so early?" Ji Yingying said in a low voice.
"We don't know about this either." Eunuch Cao had the nerve to say that because she was so bored that she investigated the people. She couldn't even handle the officialdom, so how could she investigate the people?
"Alright, here you go, Father-in-law. This bathroom will last until after the New Year. My shop will be selling them after the New Year, so you can buy them if you need them then!"
"Okay, thank you, Your Highness."
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Do you want to come in and have some tea and warm yourself up? I've prepared dinner. Do you want to come and eat?"
"No, no, I have to go back to take care of the Emperor. Your Highness has court tomorrow, so please get some rest."
Eunuch Cao couldn't help but urge her on, saying that the Princess Protector of the Nation was good in every way, except for this... her laziness was almost terminal.
"Okay, okay, got it."
Someone sent Eunuch Cao back. Winter nights come quickly and it was dark soon.
Ji Yingying ate a little something, then lay on the bed reading a storybook. She also had someone send a script for a young, charming husband to An Yi, asking him to write it.
[I suddenly feel so comfortable, sob... I wasted a whole day. I could have stayed in bed all day, but I ended up going out.]
Tomorrow, I'll be busy again. I'm about to collapse; I don't want to live anymore.
[Host, hang in there! It's still early. You can still sleep in bed until tomorrow morning, so cherish this time.]
What do you think about me skipping work tomorrow?
Do you want your whole family beheaded? No matter how arrogant you are, you are still a subject. A subject who disobeys the emperor will be beheaded.
