Chapter 221 Mother is Sick



Judging from that official air just now, it doesn't seem like it at all.

"It's been half a year. I've been dealing with a lot of things. You might not know."

"Sister, won't those high officials scold you? Do they dislike you?"

"No, they are all very nice to me." Now that I think about it, it seems so. Except for the first and second times when he went to court, he had some opinions about her. Gradually, it seemed that he had no opinions at all.

"It seems that the imperial court has announced that women can serve as officials. I also heard that two women were elected as officials in the last imperial examination."

“Yes, they’re at the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice.” Ji Yingying thought of her two older sisters, feeling that she had no time to make their acquaintances.

"So you were the first one to become an official?"

"Right, right. There's one more thing. I'm about to leave here. Are you guys going?"

"Leaving?"

"yes!"

If I don't leave now, the imperial court will come after me, and then I'll have to go back to work. I don't want to go to work.

“Okay, let’s leave here and travel the world with our swords.” Xiao Mei agreed.

"The car is ready, shall we depart now?"

"Then let's go."

Ji Yingying went back inside to put the car out, and then the group continued their journey on bicycles.

After leaving the county town, Ji Yingying sighed helplessly: "I left just like that after everything went well. I haven't even had the chance to go fishing yet."

"It's okay, next time we'll go fishing. This sea area is huge, so we can walk along the sea and get to the next village."

"Yes, sister, you're such a kind person!"

Ji Yingying praised herself and said that she had been riding her bicycle for a long time. At noon, when she passed by a mountain, she simply stopped to rest.

"I'm going hunting. You guys rest here and you can eat soon." The young master planned to go into the mountains to see if there was anything to eat.

Ji Yingying looked up at the sky and it was indeed time for lunch.

"There are mountains here and the sea there. Sister, shall we go to the seaside and see if there are any fish?"

She didn't dare to go close alone, so she took someone with her.

"I'll go with you two," the wealthy merchant said, worried, since they were two young women.

The wealthy businessman spoke up, and the other two also said they would accompany him.

[Hmm~ That's starting to feel like it, the kind of feeling where you don't give others a chance, you have to keep a close eye on things yourself.]

[I told you, even a mild case is still strong! The more severe the poisoning, the worse it gets!]

[Yeah!] Ji Yingying nodded in agreement with Xiangxiang. It looked really nice to the naked eye, but it was truly terrifying to experience it in person.

In the end, the five of them went to the beach together. The bicycles were parked on the side. The young master went fishing with the wealthy merchant, while the doctor planned to collect firewood, since he was going alone.

Xiaomei planned to accompany him, and then Ji Yingying saw a big drama, a drama of three people not letting each other go.

The eyes were shining with gold, which made Ji Yingying happy.

[Oh my, it really makes me feel like I'm there!]

"Alright, I'm not going to keep anyone company. I'll keep my sister company. What are you planning to do, sister?" Xiao Mei was also embarrassed by Ji Yingying's words.

"It's okay, just accompany the brothers. They love you so much! Wherever you go, the brothers want to go too."

Ji Yingying was still planning to watch the show. These three rivals usually get along pretty well, except...

"Oh dear! I'm not going anywhere, I'll stay here. You guys go ahead!" Normally, she could coax them one by one, but now that Ji Yingying was here, she couldn't help it.

She was a little embarrassed.

"Alright then, sister's here. I'll go with brother to gather firewood." Ji Yingying went to gather firewood, and Rong Er appeared just as they entered the woods.

Something must have happened, otherwise Rong Er wouldn't have come out.

"What happened?"

"Your mother is sick, so you should go back quickly." Rong Er knelt on one knee and said.

"What? My mother is sick?" Ji Yingying was a little shocked. Her old mother had not been sick for many years. How could she suddenly fall ill?

"Then I need to get back quickly. I'll ride my little scooter back, but I don't know the way."

This place must be quite far from the capital, so she wouldn't even dare to think about a horse-drawn carriage, but a little donkey should be an option.

"Your subordinate..."

"Can you ride a scooter? Do you know the way?"

"I don't know how to do it, but I know the way."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know how. I'll teach you. It's very fast." Ji Yingying let the little donkey out, then told him how to drive it and asked him to practice two laps.

She went back to say goodbye to the handsome young men and beautiful young women, since she was going back to Beijing and didn't know when she would have time to go out and about after returning.

When the four heard that she was leaving, the doctor quickly said, "Do you need my help? My medical skills are still good enough."

It was rare for him to speak. After all, he would not save people, and he didn't care whether their lives were dead or alive.

"No need, no need. I also know medicine. I can go back. Brothers and sisters, you must come to the capital to see me when you have time. I will definitely treat you well and make sure you eat and drink well."

"Okay, we will definitely come to the capital to visit you. Don't forget us, little sister."

“No, no!”

After saying goodbye to them, Ji Yingying followed Rong Er back. Rong Er drove and she sat in the back.

"How wonderful it would be to have a car! I want a car." Ji Yingying sighed. Riding a donkey was too tiring for her bottom; at least she could lie down in a car.

[Host, keep leveling up, you might just get a car.]

[I guess I'll have to wait for several years. Never mind.]

The car suddenly stopped, and Ji Yingying quickly asked, "What happened? Is the battery dead?"

When her car ran out of power, she would replace it. She bought three and took turns driving them.

"No, there is someone."

"Is anyone there?"

"Yes, Your Highness, you are here. I will go and take care of it and then come to pick you up." Rong Er parked the car and got out. Before he took two steps, someone rushed down the mountain.

"Don't move! This mountain is mine, these trees are mine. If you want to pass through, leave your toll."

[Haha… bandit, I'm familiar with this term! It's in a lot of novels, and it's also a key feature in TV dramas.]

[Host, you seem quite excited!]

"No, I'm not excited because I can't play with them; I have to go back to the capital to see my mother." Ji Yingying sighed. Otherwise, she could have gone up the mountain with them to see her.

The bandits suddenly looked at each other, as if something was amiss.

Because neither of the two people opposite spoke, there were still sounds coming out.

"I'm telling you, call out the person you're hiding, or I'll make you pay."

[A person hiding?] Ji Yingying didn't understand. She looked around, but it seemed... there was no one hiding.

"We're not hiding anyone, are we? How can you tell that we're hiding anyone?"

"We heard the sound just now. What were you talking about? Looking for us...ah..." Suddenly, Tai Nai appeared. The man who was talking fell to the ground with his neck pinched and his eyes bulging out in pain.

It looks like a lot of effort was used.

[What's going on? Why does his way of expressing himself seem so strange?]
