[Host, you're so smug!]
【Hehe～】
"Sigh..." The Emperor waved his hand, dismissing them. After leaving the palace, Ji Yingying immediately went to the shop.
Mu Kaiji had already started planning the store opening. When she arrived, Mu Kaiji was discussing with Fu Yunjie how to make things happen.
"Hey, Fu Yunjie, you've sorted out your family's affairs?"
"It's all settled. My second uncle has been arrested, but thankfully the drug he was given wasn't lethal, otherwise he would have been killed. I'm helping out at the shop with Kaiji now."
"Okay, sure."
After saying that, Ji Yingying looked at Mu Kaiji: "You have some ideas, sir?"
"Let's cut it open."
"You open a restaurant, and you're going to use a 'cut-and-switch' tactic?"
"Who said I was going to open a restaurant? I'm planning to create a one-stop shop for eating, drinking, and entertainment, and even a bathhouse scrubbing service. Sister, would you like to try it out?"
"Hehe, how could I let the detective brother scrub my hands? Wouldn't that be too much for this old servant?"
The two joked back and forth, but Fu Yunjie was completely confused by their conversation.
Ji Yingying is at least a ten-year-old child, yet Mu Kaiji calls her "sister"?
Won't I mispronounce something?
Furthermore, Ji Yingying, a high-ranking official, actually refers to herself as an old servant. This is... unbelievable.
"Oh, he's from the same hometown as me, don't mind him." Perhaps sensing Fu Yunjie's surprise, Ji Yingying still offered an explanation.
However, she just discovered the name Fu Yunjie, isn't that hilarious?
Fu Yunjie - Fuyanjie
That's a great name!
"Haha... Brother, have you noticed? His name is so funny!"
After hearing Ji Yingying's words, Mu Kaiji found it amusing and couldn't help but laugh.
"What's my name all about? Stop laughing."
"No...it's okay, you don't understand, haha..." After laughing enough, the two apologized. Although he didn't understand, Fu Yunjie forgave them.
After all, one is a high-ranking official, and the other is someone who can help them make money.
We must not offend them.
Ji Yingying stayed at the shop until lunchtime before going home, only to find out that her older brother had brought a woman home.
Right now, he's begging his mother to let him marry that woman.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yingying immediately asked Apple to take her there to see.
"Mother, Mother, your son is back!" Ji Yingying called out before she even reached the door.
The conversation inside immediately stopped, and Ji Yingying, dressed in official robes, walked in, making the woman tense.
She had no idea that Ji Jiaming was Young Master Ji's older brother. This was terrible!
"Mother, Mother, I'm back. I had breakfast at the palace today. The Emperor invited me to eat food from the Imperial Kitchen, and it tasted quite good. The Fifth Prince is getting married in two days, and he said he'd invite me to the wedding banquet."
"There's also the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. I'll eat at the front court then, not the inner palace."
[Following the emperor ensures the best food. Although the harem has beauties like the Crown Princess and the Empress, the emperor ultimately gets the best meals.]
"That's fine, my son can make the decision himself."
"And another thing, I got 11,000 taels of gold from the Emperor today. Hehe, I'll give some to my detective brother to open a shop."
"Good, good, good, my son can manage a business now." After saying that, Ji Yingying looked at the two people kneeling on the ground.
"Hey bro, why are you kneeling here? And who's this lady? Is that your coat?"
[Haha... Host, that girl's face turned black, haha.]
[Xiangxiang, does she have some gossip?]
Yes, she is a prostitute, deliberately trained to attract wealthy men. She only started dating your brother by chance.
She originally intended to be a mistress to make money, but your brother took it seriously and brought her home.
Oh, does she have any abilities?
[You're good at math, but can you calculate this?]
"Of course! By the way, do you think Mother will let my eldest brother marry her?"
Without even thinking, Fang Yulan immediately said, "Jiaming, I don't care what you think, she can't come into the house."
How did she seduce the older brother?
[They basically hired someone to stage a damsel-in-distress story, and then she ended up dating your older brother. Oh, and she's pregnant.]
"I have nieces and nephews now?" Ji Yingying was quite surprised: "I never expected that I'd be an aunt when I'm only ten! Do you think I should be stricter with my nieces and nephews, or more indulgent?"
"Ah...you...you..." Fang Yulan was furious and grabbed a whip from the side to hit Ji Jiaming.
"Mother, I didn't, I really didn't." Ji Jiaming cried and begged for mercy, trying to stop her out of fear.
The woman then began to cry.
[Host, what are you thinking? That's not your older brother's child. Your older brother is a proper, bookish guy; he wouldn't do something like premarital infidelity.]
"That's good. I thought I had a niece and nephew. Well, my older brother is the most old-fashioned. But, Xiangxiang, do you think he's still a virgin? Chastity is a man's best dowry. If he's lost his virginity, I think the word 'old-fashioned' doesn't suit him anymore."
[Yeah, your older brothers are both virgins. Your family has good values; they wouldn't mess around like that.]
Hehe, actually, I wanted to mess around.
Just as she was about to touch her abs, the whip lashed out in front of her, startling Ji Yingying so much that she jumped far away.
[Holy crap, was this an accident? Or was it intentional?]
I don't know either. Your mother is amazing, and your father is so pitiful.
[Haha~ I think my mom did it on purpose. I didn't provoke her. I haven't been going to Liuxiangju lately, so why did she hit me?]
"Ji Yingying, and you too, if you dare to act recklessly like your older brother, I will definitely cripple you."
"Mother, I didn't, I wouldn't dare."
Fang Yulan was furious. Today was Ji Jiaming's day off, and she thought he would bring back good news, but instead he brought back such a piece of junk.
"And you, please leave my house. You're a prostitute, and you're heavily pregnant. My eldest son won't be the one to take over your burden."
The woman looked up at Ji Jiaming, only to see him with his head down, completely ignoring her.
"Brother Ming~"
"Go away. I was blind. I will study hard from now on."
Just as they were about to have someone take the person out, Ji Yingying called a halt.
"You have nowhere to go if you leave. Here's what we'll do: go to this shop and find Mu Kaiji. He's in charge of opening the shop for me. Find him and tell him you're good at math. He'll train you to be a waiter or salesperson. You can earn some money and make a living."
The girl immediately knelt down: "Thank you, sir. Lord Ji is truly a just and upright official."
"Huh? I didn't do anything?" [I just felt sorry for her. Becoming a prostitute wasn't her own choice; it was arranged by her shameless master.]
However, this is good too, as it saves me a recruitment quota.
