Ji Yingying ordered someone to wash the vegetables and took out a bag of hot pot base from the space.
Then we made a soup pot, and after everyone came back, the family ate and chatted together.
She also had a lot of food prepared.
"Mom, we're having hot pot later. Look what I made." It has all sorts of vegetables, and most importantly, it has green leafy vegetables.
"It looks good. I heard that many people can eat green vegetables this year."
"Is there enough food on the emperor's farm?"
"Who said it was the Emperor's Zhuangzi's dish?"
Isn't that right?
“It’s from your estate.”
Ji Yingying looked at Fang Yulan in surprise. How could she not know that she could grow vegetables on her farm?
"Didn't we let Master Mu manage the restaurant in the first place?"
"Yeah, didn't he go back?" Ji Yingying suddenly thought of something and said quickly, "I see, it was the detective brother who did it?"
"Yes, the vegetables used in the hot pot at your restaurant are grown on your farm, and you even sent some over."
"What the hell, Mom, have you eaten it a long time ago?"
"yes."
[Sigh, why didn't I think of that? I had a personal space and a supermarket, but I didn't even consider buying some to stock up. I guess I've been happy for too long and forgotten about the scary parts.]
[Host, you can also stock up now. As long as you eat melons, you can reopen the mall and get whatever you want.]
[No, I don’t want to right now. I just want to eat.] Ji Yingying sat down. Now the only thing missing was her father.
[Xiangxiang, look, why isn't Dad back yet?] The aroma is so enticing, she's hungry!
[Something happened to your father.]
【What? What happened? Could it be that someone's getting jealous because my family is doing well?】
It's normal for such things to happen. When she was just born, there were many people who were jealous of her father. Those people wished her father a miserable life and often bullied them.
That's about right. If you don't hurry and rescue them, you'll probably end up with another concubine.
【What?】 Not only was she shocked, but the Ji brothers and Fang Yulan were also shocked.
This old man is already old and is about to marry his daughter-in-law, but he still wants to take a concubine.
[Hurry up and save him! Someone is jealous of your family and wants to become related to them. They drugged your father and want to catch him in bed.]
[What's the point?] Ji Yingying didn't understand. Was it because her father was old? Or because he didn't bathe?
[It's not that the two brothers are not easy to attack, and they didn't succeed, so they want to attack your father.]
"Actually, they wanted to attack your mother, but those young men became little kids in front of her, so they had no chance to drug her, let alone frame her. That's why they attacked your father."
[What the hell? Trying to mess with my mother? Fine, very well. My mother works so hard taking care of my father; this is a perk for her. Tell me, what do you think of these young masters? Do they have six-pack abs?]
Some are there, some aren't, but aren't you angry?
"Why are you angry? My mother just made the same mistake that all women make; it's not a big deal."
That's true. The world is intolerant of women, so let's be more tolerant and support your mother in finding a second spring.
Fang Yulan blushed at these words; no wonder so many men had been crowding around her these past few days.
He took a deep breath and sighed, "Why hasn't your father come back for so long?"
"Oh, I'll go out and look for her." Ji Yingying planned to go watch a show. The two brothers were also smart people. They knew what kind of person Ji Yingying was, so they immediately chased after her.
"Little sister, your big brother will stay with you."
"Second brother will accompany you, wait for me."
The three siblings set out, led by Xiangxiang, and went directly to Qin's house. Several of them hid not far from Qin's house and watched the door.
Is my dad inside?
【right. 】
Why is my dad inside? What kind of family is the Qin family?
Ji Yingying was a little puzzled. She didn't seem to have seen an official named Qin in the hall. Could he be a minor official?
Your father and Lord Qin are colleagues and very close friends. It was Lord Qin who invited your father to the Qin family today.
What? I just got back, and my dad doesn't want to spend time with me anymore. Instead, he's with another man. He's really wasted his time.
No, they insisted on inviting him. Their motive was simple: they wanted to curry favor with you, since you're now a favorite of the Emperor.
[Just because someone's famous, they think they can take advantage of me?]
No, it was hitting your father. If I can't be your sister-in-law, can't I be your stepmother?
[Uh...] Ji Yingying was a little embarrassed. Could this stepmother really do this? I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen anyone this stupid.
Describe the other party's plans.
"Alright, this is a small scoop. After you finish it, you can unlock the mall." Ji Yingying shook her head impatiently and said, "That's all minor issues. Just tell me the scoop already."
[It's because of your status that the other party wanted to climb up to you. They originally wanted to target your eldest brother, but he's been tricked before and is now very cautious. So, the Qin family can't make a move. And since your second brother went to Jiangnan City with you, they can't do anything about it either.]
Then they came up with a terrible idea: to marry their daughter to your father as his concubine, and then try to have a son to solidify their position so they could use your connections to get promoted and ennobled.
"Impossible. My father might give in, but I will never, absolutely never. Not only that, I will even impeach their family. They want to use my connections to get promoted and ennobled? That's absolutely impossible."
What about now?
[Your father's colleague invited him to dinner today, but he drugged the food. They're going to stage a scene of catching him in the act.]
Okay, okay, I'll go in and take a look now. Please give me directions.
Your father has been given traditional Chinese medicine; you should send your mother.
This is someone else's home. Do you really want them to know that this couple is committing adultery in their house?
She would protect her parents and was determined to bring down the Qin family tonight: "Second brother, you should do this and that later..." Ji Yingying rambled on and on, then straightened her clothes and went out.
Ji Yingying walked out and then said to the guard: "You are the Qin family. I am Ji Yingying. I am here to pick up my father."
When the guard heard it was Ji Yingying, he immediately knelt down and said, "Long live the princess."
"Hurry up and inform them, I...I'm here to take my father back."
"Yes." The guard ran very fast, as fast as a tornado, and the others seemed to be scared.
Not long after, the head of the Qin family came and wanted to welcome Ji Yingying in with a smile.
"No need, just send my father out." Ji Yingying waved her hand. The two people hiding behind her were worried about whether Ji Yingying could get Ji Cailiang back.
"This... Your Highness, you are unaware of this..."
[There's something I don't know. There's no such thing as something you don't know. Are you trying to stall for time?]
