Wu Wei'an: "Yeah."
What I mean is, she just says it, but she won’t give it to you.
Judging from the fact that her elder brother had to pay for any calligraphy and paintings he wanted, it was difficult to take advantage of his wife.
Wu Weian now understood that Ji Yunxi was indeed rich, but she was stingy.
She was so generous before marriage, but she was lying to him.
Wu Weian sighed lightly and poured himself a cup of tea.
And he only poured himself a cup of tea.
Ji Yunxi glanced at him and complained in her heart.
childish.
The two of them spoke in silence along the way.
After returning home and having dinner, Wu Weian sat at the table with a stack of letters handed to him by the round-faced steward, reading and replying to each one.
His wife was leaning on the beauty couch, holding the account book and doing the abacus.
The abacus clattered and his fingers moved quickly.
Wu Weian glanced at her calmly and thought, having more money is good, the abacus beads are about to be knocked away by her.
It was still early and the door of their room was not closed.
Baofu walked in holding a stack of clothes.
Ji Yunxi was very kind to her two personal maids, Wanxiang and Baofu. As long as her door was open, she tacitly allowed the two maids to come and go freely without saying hello to her.
Baofu tiptoed past the young lady who was using an abacus and walked over to his brother-in-law who was writing furiously.
Wu Wei'an looked up: "What's the matter?"
Baofu put the bunch of clothes aside, holding them in front of his belly with both hands. He kept his face full of happiness, his eyebrows moving slightly, and spoke in a clear voice: "These clothes have just been delivered from the clothing store, and they suit your figure. The clothing store tailored them for you, so I estimate it will take ten days for them to be ready. You should wear them for the next few days."
Wu Weian paused writing, and for a moment he couldn't believe it: "For me?"
"Yes." Baofu looked helpless towards his mistress. "It was all the mistress' instructions. She also said that she would order a new carriage for you. It will probably take half a month to be ready."
Suddenly, Wu Wei'an found Baofu in front of him much more pleasing to the eye. He smiled and said, "Thank you."
Baofu rolled his eyes and walked away with a twisted waist.
Only her daughter was a kind person, and she even paid for new clothes and a new carriage for her son-in-law.
This son-in-law is really very proud of his ancestors' achievements.
Ji Yunxi has always been focused on what she does. Once she is immersed in it, she will ignore everything around her.
After she finished calculating the bill and turned her slightly sore neck, she suddenly found a cup of tea beside her.
The tea was still steaming slightly, and the aroma was wafting in the air.

The Fifth Prince's Mansion is located in Qinglongfang.
The man reached out, picked up the teacup and shook it gently.
In the hall, the staff asked, "Your Highness, the Feng family has asked us for help. Do you need our assistance?"
The man laughed, his voice cold. "The Feng family is disloyal. They were clearly my brother's men, but they wanted to join me. After you helped them, how do you know they won't join someone else in the future?"
The staff understood: "Yes."
The Fifth Prince added, "However, Feng Qishi has been demoted, leaving the position of Censor vacant. This is a good thing, and we must assign one of our men to take the position."
The staff agreed, and after a brief discussion, they chose a plan.
The fifth prince listened casually without interrupting, which was considered as his approval of the method proposed by his staff.
After the discussion below died down, the Fifth Prince spoke up, "What's going on with the Ji family lately?"
Aide: "Your Highness, apart from Ji Mingyuan returning to Shangjing City, there hasn't been much movement."
The fifth prince asked again, "What about Wu Wei'an? Did you find anything?"
The staff member said: "Your Highness, our people went to Pingjiang to conduct a secret investigation. The results of the secret investigation showed that there was nothing special about Wu Wei'an."
The fifth prince frowned: "Have you checked everything that can be checked?"
Staff: “Yes.”
The Fifth Prince frowned even more deeply. "No, continue investigating. This person must have some secrets."
The staff looked a little embarrassed: "Forgive our ignorance, Your Highness, please tell me how to investigate?"
As for Wu Weian, they have already checked everything they could.
Even if you check again, you will mostly get the same result, which is futile.
The Fifth Prince's expression was as gloomy as water, and his aura of pressure was so overwhelming that everyone in the hall dared not utter a word and all lowered their heads.
The Fifth Prince: "Since we can't find any trace of him, let's find someone to follow him. A fox will always show its tail."
The staff member said cautiously: "Then Wu Wei'an is either in the Hanlin Academy or at home. There are people keeping an eye on him in the Hanlin Academy, but there's nothing unusual. But at home, the third daughter of the Ji family is there, and there are many people protecting her, both openly and covertly. It's difficult for our people to get close to her."
With a loud bang, the fifth prince smashed the teacup.
No one in the hall dared to avoid it, and the first person was hit on the head by the cup, and his head became red and swollen instantly.
Everyone knelt on the ground.
Just when everyone was panicking, a woman pushed the door open and walked in.
The woman was wearing a veil and had a graceful figure: "Your Highness."
The fifth prince closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and returned to his gentle and elegant demeanor: "You are here."
The woman walked through the crowd, gradually ascending, and sat down next to the Fifth Prince. "Your Highness, don't be angry, and there's no need to embarrass them." She glanced at the people in the hall. "That Wu Wei'an ran home as soon as he left the Imperial Academy, and rarely went anywhere else. The Wu and Ji families are very close, and the Third Young Lady is guarding them like a rock. It's really difficult for our people to find out anything."
The Fifth Prince: "I know, but I always feel that Wu Wei'an is very wrong."
The woman hesitated for a moment and said, "No matter how wrong Wu Wei'an is, the key to this matter lies with the Ji family. If the Ji family is not eliminated and the crown prince is not overthrown, our great cause will be difficult to achieve."
Ji Yunxi is wealthy, and Ji Mingshuang, Ji Mingyan, and Ji Mingyuan have been traveling extensively since childhood, mixing in the martial arts world and meeting many talented individuals. Combined with these two talents, both the Crown Prince and the Ji family are secretly protected by experts, making it impossible for them to harm them.
