The avoidance ceremony lasted for three full days.
Ji Yuqi felt that one day was the maximum she could endure.
If she stays here for another two days, she will probably go crazy.
However, Liu Tong said, "During the execution of the Recusation Ceremony, no one except the head of the household is allowed to enter or leave the Imperial Residence at will. Miss Ji, I'm sorry I can't meet your request."
Ji Yuqi didn't say anything else.
Liu Tong came here specifically to help her check her body and bring her medicine.
After checking that Ji Yuqi's temperature was normal, Liu Tong left the medicine needed for the day and was about to leave with the medicine box.
As he reached the door of the guest room, Ji Yuqi, who was originally sitting on the sofa, stood up and was about to follow him.
Liu Tong saw Ji Yuqi's reflexive action and frowned: "Miss Ji, according to the rules, during the retreat ceremony, only the head of the family and the mistress can stay in the main house..."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and glanced at his watch. Liu Tong continued, "Judging from the current time, the young master should be returning home."
When Ji Yuqi heard that she was not the only one in the main house and Pei Yucheng would still be there, she felt inexplicably relieved.
However, it didn't last long.
"Pei Yucheng, will you definitely come back?!" Ji Yuqi asked.
He is so busy.
So many social engagements.
I’m afraid that there are so many games involving Lian Zhan every month that it’s impossible to count them all.
What's more, there are Yan Ce and Xiao Yi.
Besides, men who have all the money and power are the best at having fun.
If you line up the little bees that are secretly raised outside, you will be dazzled to choose from.
Although Pei Yucheng and Ning Ruyan announced their relationship, there was almost no negative news about him.
In the entertainment industry, there are always female stars who envy Ning Ruyan, saying that Pei Yucheng dotes on her and is devoted to her.
However, Ji Yuqi dared to guarantee that Pei Yucheng had had countless women.
Why would he come back, especially knowing that she was still staying in the Imperial Mansion?
I'm afraid he's just bored and doesn't want to come back.
However, Liu Tong replied in a very confident tone: "Of course, the young master has never stayed out overnight except when he was on a business trip. Miss Ji, you don't have to worry."
Ji Yuqi certainly didn't believe what Liu Tong said.
She didn't hold much hope for Pei Yucheng to return home.
After all, it's already ten o'clock in the evening.
However, her body was not under the control of her brain and she was half leaning against the door frame.
From where she was now, looking towards the elevator, she could clearly see the elevator floor, which was on the basement floor.
Ji Yuqi was inevitably disappointed.
She was extremely tired.
She wanted to go back to her room to rest, but she didn't dare to do so when she thought about staying alone in such a big house.
By eleven o'clock in the evening, there was still no sign of Pei Yucheng returning.
Ji Yuqi gave up completely.
As she struggled to move her stiff, aching body, intending to enter the room and lock the door, her gaze, which had just evacuated from the elevator, inadvertently caught sight of the still elevator. The floor numbers suddenly jumped...
…
Study on the fourth floor.
When Pei Yucheng reached out to take the cigarette box for the third time, Yan Ce, who was sitting opposite the desk, immediately frowned his handsome eyebrows.
Yan Ce's beautiful fingers gently pinched the lighter, which was printed with the Yan family's teng diagram, and tapped it slowly on the table, his posture casual and measured. His deep black eyes locked with the man who held the cigarette in his mouth and took a deep drag. After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice, "Master Cheng, you've been smoking too much lately. The 'Sacrificial Ceremony' is the most solemn and important family festival for the entire Pei family. It's really not wise for you to touch Cui Zhen's people at this critical moment, especially since it's your first sacrificial ceremony since your marriage."
