Ever since he followed Pei Yucheng and stepped into the gate of the Pei family's ancestral home, Ji Yuqi has been in a daze.
She had no idea what the situation was like in other countries.
But in Country Z, golden nanmu has been considered the wood of royalty since ancient times, and its use was expressly prohibited four hundred years ago. In other words, no matter whether you are a commoner or a high-ranking official, no matter how high your position or how powerful you are, you are forbidden from using it for personal purposes. If you do, you will lose your head.
And Pei Mansion...
Not only is the gate, which is carved with the magnificent Tengtu of the Pei family, made of the finest golden nanmu wood, but... the entire mansion, as far as the eye can see, is built of golden nanmu wood.
Phoebe trees of all sizes crisscross each other.
From the moment he entered Pei's residence, Ji Yuqi was surrounded by the unique woody fragrance of Phoebe nanmu.
Ji Fengran likes to drink tea.
Ji Yuqi still remembers: Ji Fengran originally took a fancy to a tea table made of polished golden nanmu wood, spent 50 million, and used several layers of connections to buy it. He placed it in the center of the tea room and was reluctant to use it.
Ji Fengran said that golden nanmu is too expensive, especially the large old wood.
Pei Yucheng not only made chopsticks from golden nanmu wood, which is more expensive than gold, and used them wantonly, but in this mansion, not only the other side halls, but also the three-in-one main hall alone had more than a hundred golden nanmu pillars that were hundreds of years old.
Ji Yuqi estimated that the construction history of Pei Mansion was no less than three hundred years.
Three hundred years ago, the Pei family built their mansion with pure golden nanmu wood. How powerful must they have been at that time to be so rampant and willful.
I've heard before that the Pei family is the oldest and most mysterious family in Country Z.
Ji Yuqi always thought it was just a simple rumor.
But I didn’t expect that it turned out to be: worthy of the name.
This house was big enough and gave Ji Yuqi a shock.
She was completely confused.
However, what made her even more confused was the series of beatings that the old lady of the Pei family gave to Pei Huaijin.
It is said that a person's temperament is shaped by his family.
Pei Yucheng and Pei Huaijin are typical examples.
Pei Yucheng is introverted and steady.
Pei Huaijin is arrogant and domineering.
Obviously.
In the Pei family, Pei Huaijin's status is far less noble than Pei Yucheng's.
However, Pei Huaijin's fearless character that day fully demonstrated how favored he was in the family.
However, even the darling of that family was now being beaten by the old lady of the Pei family, leaving his mouth raised high.
He looked angry but dared not speak out.
Ji Yuqi glanced at Pei Huaijin's aggrieved look and couldn't help laughing, especially when Pei Huaijin was about to get angry when he glanced at her. However, before the hair on his neck could stand up, it was stroked down by the old lady of the Pei family's cane. The smile in Ji Yuqi's eyes became more and more intense, and she could hardly control it.
"Mr. Ji, what are you laughing at..." Pei Huaijin got angry again when he saw the smile in Ji Yuqi's eyes.
But before he could utter a single word, the old lady from the Pei family's cane had already landed on him with a thud.
“…” Pei Huaijin.
"If you continue to be disrespectful to your sister-in-law, you can try to see if my cane can break if you hit me today." The old lady of the Pei family had a serious and fierce expression.
"Grandma!!!" From childhood to adulthood, the old lady of the Pei family has always loved him the most and protected him the most. However, today, she beat him to a pulp because of an outsider. Pei Huaijin was really angry and aggrieved.
"Don't call me, I don't have a grandson like you." The old lady of the Pei family scolded mercilessly.
“…” Pei Huaijin was so angry that his nostrils were flickering and smoke was coming out of his head.
The old lady of the Pei family ignored his spontaneous combustion and turned to face Ji Yuqi, who was standing behind Pei Yucheng, with a smile on her face. "Qiqi, if that rebellious son Pei Huaijin disrespects you again, just tell me and I'll help you deal with him. I promise to teach him a lesson. By the way, aren't you tired after sitting in the car all this way?!"
Ji Yuqi felt a little uncomfortable with the old lady of the Pei family's enthusiasm.
She first politely called out "Master Buddha", then responded, "I'm not tired."
The old lady of the Pei family stretched out her hand towards her.
Seeing this, Ji Yuqi was stunned at first. She subconsciously glanced at the handsome man standing there with an expressionless face, then immediately took two steps forward and supported the old lady of the Pei family.
The old lady of the Pei family said: "Today is the first time you follow Yu Cheng back to the ancestral home. Treat this place as your own home and don't be restrained."
"Yeah." Ji Yuqi.
