Ye Baizhi brought a few people on horseback to the city gate, but was stopped by someone.
Ye Baizhi showed the Shen family's token, and the guards at the city gate automatically let her through.
This is the privilege of the Shen family.
In fact, Xue Youchen also gave him a token, which represented the token of the Snow Wolf King of the North District.
Seeing the token is like seeing the king.
But Ye Baizhi thought it was too high-profile, so she just kept it and didn't use it.
Once people know that she has the token representing Xue Youchen in her hand, they will know of her existence.
It is easy to cause unnecessary trouble.
So unless it is a special situation, she doesn't use that token.
It would be just as easy to use the Shen family’s token first.
…
Ice Valley
The north wind is howling here and the climate is even colder.
There are simple and dilapidated stone houses at the foot of the valley.
There seemed to be some tinkling sounds in the wind.
Ye Baizhi knew that it must be the sound of chiseling stone.
The current head of the Ji family is Old Madam Ji.
But Madam Ji was old, and after working for a few days, she couldn't stand the cold and fell ill.
"Mom, you have to hold on. Nothing can happen to you."
"If something happens to you, what will the Ji family do?"
Mrs. Ji choked with sobs and began to cry.
Old Madam Ji was very tired, cold and exhausted. She really wanted to fall asleep like this.
But she didn't dare to fall asleep because of the frightened crying in her ears.
Old Madam Ji inherited the position of head of the Ji family as a woman.
Then she married and had a son.
Her son is very outstanding. If he gets married, he will marry a capable wife.
But she only had this one son, so she married him off.
She chose a gentle and docile girl from a humble family to marry her son.
I also think that she can live her life wholeheartedly with her son.
If the Ji family is fine, her temper is nothing.
But if something happens to the Ji family, this kind of person won't be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility.
Especially since her son died fighting against Warcraft in his early years.
Now the only direct descendants are her daughter-in-law and grandchildren.
The granddaughter was a talented general who was good at wielding swords and guns, but unfortunately she fell in love with a man and was willing to marry someone far away.
Now everything in the Ji family depends on their grandson.
But the grandson went to Fengyue Tower.
The princess is trying to humiliate Qinghan.
He is such a graceful and elegant grandson.
My granddaughter married so far away that I couldn’t support the Ji family when something happened. I don’t know how she is doing now.
I’m afraid of being kicked out.
Old Madam Ji was heartbroken.
"Ahem, don't cry, I'm fine."
She can't fall down, she has to hold on.
"Mom, Xiao He from the side branch is sick. We asked the steward to send for a doctor, but they refused. What should we do?"
Old Madam Ji was so angry that she started coughing again.
"The Beast King and the Princess are trying to kill our Ji family."
Madam Ji's eyes darkened and she said, "Don't say such things."
She was afraid that the walls had ears.
Her Ji family had been loyal since their ancestors, and they were completely defenseless against the royal master, which was why they ended up like this.
"Mother, if Qinghan had sacrificed herself to marry the princess, wouldn't this have happened?"
Madam Ji's face turned cold and she said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You will ruin Qinghan."
"If he marries the princess and becomes her beastly husband, who will inherit our Ji family?"
"In the end, the princess succeeded. Even the first battalion that my Ji family built and trained will become her possession."
"What's more, the princess is very scheming. She abuses those around her and even beats a beastly husband to death. How dare you let Qinghan marry her?"
When Mrs. Ji heard this, she was frightened and shook her head vigorously.
"If...if Ye Baizhi had married Qinghan back then, and Qinghan had a wife, wouldn't the princess have stopped thinking about him?"
Madam Ji sighed, "It's not that simple."
"The princess is cruel and ruthless, and she will come up with other schemes."
"Besides, that girl Bai Zhi hated us. I don't know how she is doing now!"
Madam Ji propped herself up and got up from the bed, "Let's go see Xiao He first!"
Mrs. Ji wiped her tears and helped Old Lady Ji to go to the next room to see Xiao He.
Many people in the house were crying.
Old Madam Ji looked at the nine-year-old Xiao He's flushed face, and when she reached out and touched him, it was burning hot.
"Quick, cool it down with cold water."
"Wow, Master, it's no use. We tried it, but it's still this hot."
"It's no use for us to ask the steward for help. We even gave him our only gold leaf, but they still won't send for a doctor."
"They said we offended someone we shouldn't have, and that our superiors had ordered us to break our bones, wuwu..."
Several women and children were crying in the house.
The male beast is working outside.
The females were assigned some sewing and laundry work.
But with Ji Qinghe, the most outstanding and talented member of the side branch, in such a state, no one has the heart to do any work.
Sadness and despair filled everyone's hearts.
Someone was deliberately trying to kill them, so it was useless for them to struggle.
Just then, the voice of the steward came from the door.
"Miss Ye, this is where the Ji family lives."
When everyone turned around, they saw the usually domineering steward bending over and speaking humbly to a beautiful female beast.
The steward carefully wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.
He was disrespectful to Miss Ye at first.
He was scared to death when the other person showed him the token.
At this moment, he wanted to kneel down to speak, and his waist was bent extremely respectfully and humbly.
Everyone in the Ji family was stunned when they saw the female beast.
