Chapter 133: Climbing the Wall
Feng Qingsui was afraid that the heat was not high enough, so he asked Ji Changqing to come back to the house the next day to "catch" him coming back from walking the dog, and then scolded her again.
"...What kind of woman from a wealthy family would go out and flaunt herself all day? Do you really need to go out to walk the dog? Are the servants in this mansion just eating salty rice? Stop making excuses to go out and stay home to serve your mother!"
These teachings were passed on to someone through Shunzi and the middleman.
When she said she was going to Weizhou to inspect the workshop, not only did someone believe she was going to run away from home, but even Qi believed it.
"You evil creature!"
Qi was so angry that she called Ji Changqing over and scolded him.
"How is your sister-in-law bothering you? Why are you treating her like this? Get out of here! We are the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in this house!"
Ji Changqing: “…”
Who is her biological child?
But it is not easy to explain to her at this time - the angrier the mother is, the more realistic the matter will be, and the more conducive it will be to misleading those in the dark.
I have to bear all my mother's anger alone.
"Mother, when my sister-in-law got married, she said she wanted to honor you on behalf of my eldest brother. What's wrong with me letting her stay at home with you? Why are you blaming me?"
"You still have a point?"
Qi picked up the feather duster.
"Your sister-in-law belongs to your eldest brother's roommate, not yours. How can you be so in charge? As a brother-in-law, you don't respect your eldest sister-in-law, but instead speak harshly to her. How can you be so disrespectful!"
Ji Changqing was chased all over the yard.
"Mother, I am the Prime Minister of a country after all. If you beat me up and leave my face covered with wounds, how can I go to court?"
Qi continued walking. "Where do you get the nerve to do that? You completely lost it when you scolded your sister-in-law! And you're still attending court? If you don't bow and apologize to your sister-in-law, I'll beat you even if you run to His Majesty!"
"Chunyun, Aunt Fu, block the courtyard door! I'm going to teach him a lesson today!"
Ji Changqing was chased so hard that he had to climb a tree and jump over a wall before he could escape from Ci'an Hall.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I landed, I ran into Feng Qingsui.
"Thank you for your hard work, Second Master."
Feng Qingsui said with a smile.
She came to say goodbye to Qi, but unexpectedly saw Ji Changqing jumping over the wall.
"Second Master is truly a hidden talent. He jumped off a five-foot-high wall without blinking an eye."
Ji Changqing's heart skipped a beat.
The little fox has such sharp eyes, could it be that he has noticed something?
"When my eldest brother was learning martial arts from the master, I also followed him for a while and learned some basic skills."
Feng Qingsui didn't think much about it. He just thought it was a little funny that he was chased by Qi to the point of jumping over the wall. Who could have thought that the powerful Prime Minister would be like this at home?
If this gets out, everyone in the court will laugh out loud.
"I will bear with you for two days. When I come back, I will definitely clear your name."
Ji Changqing smiled bitterly: "When mother finds out that I agreed to let you take this risk, I'm afraid she will beat me up again."
Feng Qingsui's eyes turned into two crescent moons when he smiled.
"I'll prepare a ladder in advance so that you can climb over the wall."
Ji Changqing: “…”
With that expression on his face, are you sure he doesn't want to prepare some melon seeds so he can watch the show from the sidelines?
After a moment's silence, he said, "Come with me to the study. I have something to give you."
Feng Qingsui: “???”
When she went to the study, she found out that Ji Changqing wanted to give her a set of gold-wire soft armor.
"This is what my eldest brother used," Ji Changqing said, blushing slightly. "I had it altered to a smaller size. Try it on first to see if it fits. If not, I'll have it altered again. This trip is dangerous, so it's better to take extra precautions."
Feng Qingsui's fingertips brushed across the fine scales, and he recalled that when he treated Ji Changfeng, he had seen the same soft armor on him, but that soft armor had several holes in it, unlike this one which was intact.
"Thank you, Second Master."
She said gratefully.
Ji Changqing's meticulousness far exceeded her expectations.
"I'll go back to the hospital and try it on."
Ji Changqing felt his face getting hotter.
He did not intentionally give his soft armor to Feng Qingsui, but he was in a hurry and had no time to make new armor, so he had to do it.
If she knew the truth in the future, she would probably call him a scoundrel.
Feng Qingsui accidentally glanced at his expression and wondered, the weather wasn't hot, why was Ji Changqing's face so red as if it was on fire?
Is it because of excessive liver fire?
"Second Master, have you had trouble falling asleep recently?"
She asked casually.
Ji Changqing nodded subconsciously.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he thought of her using herself as bait, and he couldn't sleep at all.
Feng Qingsui immediately understood: "Second Master, you must drink a few more cups of the scented tea I gave you."
Ji Changqing: “…”
He nodded woodenly.
It's more than just a few more drinks; he's almost finished them all.
Seeing that he listened to his advice, Feng Qingsui left with peace of mind.
I went back to the hospital and tried on the gold-thread soft armor. I found that it fit me perfectly. Before leading the team out the next day, I wore it under my clothes.
Qi hurried over to keep him.
"I've already taught that evildoer a lesson. He won't speak rudely to you again. Don't go to Weizhou. The mountains are high and the rivers are long, and the journey is not safe."
Feng Qingsui consoled her, "Mother, my trip to Weizhou has nothing to do with Second Master. The workshop over there has been open for so long, and I haven't been there to inspect it. I was really worried about it, so I made this trip. I'll be back after I've checked it out."
Qi was half-believing and half-doubting: "Will you really come back?"
Feng Qingsui's eyes widened: "Mother, what are you asking? Don't you want me to come back?"
"Of course not." Qi quickly defended herself, "Mother wishes you could stay at home every day. She's just afraid you'd get tired, so she doesn't want you to bother."
"Don't worry, I'll go early and come back early."
"……All right."
Qi could only watch her leave.
Feng Qingsui took Wuhua and a team of bodyguards he hired and headed westward to Weizhou.
In the evening, a group of people stayed at the post station.
Nothing happened overnight.
The next day, at daybreak, they packed up and set off. In the afternoon, they arrived at the border between Jingji and Weizhou.
"After crossing this mountain range, we will reach the territory of Weizhou."
The escort leader introduced as they walked through the valley.
He didn't need to escort any goods for this transaction, he just had to escort two women from the inner house, so he felt very relaxed.
Thinking that they would reach their destination in just one day, his steps became lighter.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a stone rolled down from the mountain.
His face suddenly changed.
"Enemy attack! Speed forward!"
He and his bodyguards protected Feng Qingsui's donkey cart and drove forward at a high speed, trying to escape the encirclement.
At the bend ahead stood a dozen masked men holding bows and arrows, and arrows were flying like rain.
He was surprised.
He quickly waved his sword to block the arrow and called out to his subordinates: "Charge!"
Unexpectedly, there was a trip rope on the road. As soon as they rushed over, the horses fell down and threw them to the ground.
The masked man threw down his bow and arrow and drew his sword.
As the leader of the escort team got up from the ground, a big knife came towards him and he subconsciously closed his eyes.
My life is over!
"Puff!" With a sound, warm blood splashed all over his face.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that the masked man who had chopped him with a big knife had been beheaded.
The fat maidservant of the master and servant pair he was escorting was standing next to the masked man with a knife in hand. She glared at him and said, "What are you still standing there for? Move now!"
