The round-faced steward looked at the young man's face in front of the window and was really able to keep a straight face.
The round-faced steward is about the same age as Lord Wu Qi, which means that he is old enough to be the young master's father.
If he had such a son, he would probably not be able to help but take action to personally eliminate this scourge from the world.
The round-faced steward uttered a "yes" and quickly disappeared from the spot.
He was afraid that he couldn't help it.
Ji Yunxi was also speechless in front of the dressing mirror. After the round-faced steward left, she spoke: "Didn't you say that you have a lot of things to do in the Hanlin Academy?"
"Yeah." Wu Weian sighed softly, "After Feng Wu left, I don't think I have much less to do."
Ji Yunxi was silent for a moment: "Then why are you still asking for leave?"
Wu Wei'an said with a relaxed expression: "It's okay. One more or one less won't make much difference. If they're in a hurry, they'll ask other editors to take over."
Ji Yunxi was too lazy to speak. She just nodded perfunctorily and called the maid to help her dress up.
Wu Wei'an asked her, "Are you going out?"
Ji Yunxi nodded: "I have to go to Kaitai Manor today."
Wu Wei'an said, "Such a big thing has happened. Manager Fang has been thrown into jail. Don't you need to rest at home for a few days to calm down?"
Ji Yunxi turned her head to the mirror and saw that her skin was still smooth and delicate. She was in a good mood and said casually, "No, I'm doing this for myself."
Wu Weian closed his mouth and had nothing to say.
Yes, he works very hard for the current emperor, and his annual salary is only so little.
And what about his wife? She was busy with her own business. She earned more money in a day at Kaitai Manor than he could have earned in several years of working at the court.
The more he compared them, the more chilling it became. He thought of her warehouse in Kaitai Manor again.
Wu Wei'an suddenly said, "By the way, it seems you gave me less."
Ji Yunxi frowned: "What?"
Wu Wei'an ignored Baofu's eager gaze and said to Ji Yunxi with a serious face, "You haven't paid me for the robbery last night."
Ji Yunxi: “?”
The maid was fiddling with her hair, and Ji Yunxi stretched out her hand, signaling them to stop.
Then, she turned around and faced him, her tone vague: "What did you say? Say it again?"
Although the two men did not explain this matter clearly at first, they both knew that the two thousand taels included finding and robbing people.
Although there is no written agreement, an oral agreement is still an agreement.
But now Wu Weian's behavior is equivalent to turning against him and asking for more money.
This is equivalent to destroying the verbal agreement that the two people had previously tacitly agreed upon.
Ji Yunxi really disliked this.
To be honest, she doesn't need this little money.
Even if he asked for five thousand taels at that time, she would have given it to him.
But now, he wants to add money, and she is not happy about it.
Go back on your word and make her the scapegoat?
Wu Weian looked at Ji Yunxi and could clearly feel her emotional changes at the moment.
Her tone was full of threats, and her eyes, which seemed to be able to speak, stared at him like a she-wolf.
He felt that if he really said it again, his good days might be over.
For example, the new clothes, the ice that never runs out in the room, the delicious meals for three meals a day, and the delicious ice jelly.
But is Wu Weian the kind of person who would bow down for a few pieces of silver?
His expression remained calm, his tone was calm, but he spoke very quickly: "I said you haven't paid me for the robbery last night. But don't get angry yet. Robbery is very cheap. Fifty taels is enough."

Ji Mingyan followed his colleagues from the Dali Temple to the Ministry of Justice early in the morning and went around the Ministry of Justice several times.
He was fully aware of the surrounding security layout.
Therefore, there was nothing he could do. He just waited for the order from his third sister, and then he would take his powerful version of the knockout drug and a bunch of new drugs and show his skills.
When Ji Mingyan was bored, he heard that his brother-in-law's skinny horse had not been found yet.
My brother-in-law is even sick. He didn't even go to the Hanlin Academy today and just rested at home.
Ji Mingyan was very worried.
One was for his brother-in-law’s body;
The second is for the skinny horse.
He was the one who raised and fed the skinny horses, and he had developed some affection for them.
The horse is so thin and now it is lost, sleeping in the open on the street. It’s so pitiful to think about it.
It would be even more pitiful if you encountered a thief, were robbed by him, and were enslaved day and night.
Ji Mingyan immediately returned to his courtyard, stayed in his poisonous insect nest for a while, and finally found his soul-chasing insect.
The soul-chasing insect is not very poisonous, but it has a keen sense of smell and is extremely good at tracking.
Ji Mingyan liked it very much at first, so he collected one and took it home. But after playing with it for a while, he got tired of it and threw it into a poisonous insect nest.
Now, this soul-chasing insect that he had neglected for a long time can finally see the light of day again.
Ji Mingyan took his soul-chasing insect to the Wu family stable, picked up a few strands of skinny horse hair, and took the soul-chasing insect to the place where his brother-in-law lost the horse yesterday.
He also did not tell Wu Weian who was recuperating at home, because he wanted to wait until he found the horse before telling his brother-in-law and give him a surprise.
Ji Mingyan let the soul-chasing insect smell the horse hair, and then followed the soul-chasing insect around the streets and alleys.
The little soul-chasing insects flew and stopped.
Ji Mingyan discovered that this skinny horse was indeed fed by him. It was quite smart and would run into deserted alleys.
No wonder no one has found the horse yet.
The soul-chasing insect circled around in a big circle, and Ji Mingyan chased it in a big circle.
Slowly, the sun sets, slowly, the sky darkens, slowly, it's time for dinner.
Ji Mingyan was tired, and the soul-chasing insect was tired too.
Ji Mingyan touched his rumbling stomach and felt like going home for dinner.
As he was thinking about it, he found himself following the soul-chasing insect back to the Ji Mansion.
