Ji Yunxi went to Kaitai Manor to check out the goods. The subordinates collected a box of good medicinal materials, and Kaitai Manor could make a lot of money again.
As for Wu Weian, he heard the manager's footsteps asking for money early in the morning. Without saying a word, he hid in the secret room and refused to come out.
"Waste!" The fifth prince slammed his fist on the table, causing everything on the table to fall to the ground. "A bunch of waste!"
Below, the losers were trembling with fear, shrinking their heads and not daring to say a word.
"That old couple has been missing for three days, three whole days! You didn't even find them, and yet you let them show up at the gate of the Ministry of Justice and cause a commotion?!" The Fifth Prince was furious. "The moment they showed up, you should have killed them!"
The man kneeling at the head said in a trembling voice, "As soon as the person appeared, I sent someone to inform you. This matter is of great importance, and I dare not act on my own initiative."
The teacup hit him directly on the head, and his body was instantly covered in blood.
The Fifth Prince: "Everything must be explained to me clearly. Am I working for you, or are you working for me? You are a bunch of empty-headed losers, only knowing a few tricks but no ability to judge the situation. What use do I have for you?!"
The woman standing quietly nearby waited until the Fifth Prince had finished his outburst before stepping forward. She gestured for everyone to leave and said softly, "Your Highness, please don't be angry."
The Fifth Prince rubbed his brows and sat down. "The people around me are useless. Originally, Yang Weitian was okay, but he was exposed too early. I asked you to find a capable person. Do you have a candidate?"
The woman shook her head gently. "I haven't found anyone who's particularly suitable yet. Your Highness, don't worry. A capable person is like a good horse; you only meet them once, but you never seek them out."
The fifth prince closed his eyes: "I know."
The woman asked, "Your Highness, what should we do now? It won't be long before His Majesty issues an order to release them."
The emperor's ascension to the throne was not glorious, so he has paid more and more attention to his reputation in recent years. He will do anything that is beneficial to his reputation.
In this matter of Fang Yuan, they lost.
The fifth prince was silent for a moment.
The woman probed, "Do you want our people to let her die in prison?"
"No." The fifth prince opened his eyes, his gaze dark. "If Fang Yuan dies in prison, there will be public outrage. My father values his reputation, so he will definitely order a thorough investigation of the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice will not investigate."
"Let him go." The Fifth Prince gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment. "That Fang Yuan is no big shot, just a little bug trying to lure the Ji family out. This time, I lose."
"It doesn't matter." The Fifth Prince said softly, muttering to himself, "How many times have I lost since I was a child? I'm not anxious. I can wait."
The woman looked at him worriedly.
The Fifth Prince suddenly raised his head. "But Wu Weian, keep investigating! Have you discovered anything? Ever since Wu Weian showed up, the Ji family has managed to escape unscathed every time!"

The next day, the Ministry of Justice released the person.
The emperor followed the example of the late emperor and gave the two of them many rewards.
The people arranged by Ji Yunxi immediately took the injured Fang Yuan back. Doctor Cheng from Qifangtang had been waiting there for a long time. As soon as Fang Yuan was carried back, he began to treat her injuries.
The day after Fang Yuan was released, Old Man Fang and Old Lady Fang left Beijing.
This was Ji Yunxi's request. Their son Fang Yuan would send them out of the city, and from then on they were not allowed to set foot in Shangjing City again.
Fang Yuan and 'Fang Yuan' will not go back with them and will stay.
After the steward came back, Ji Yunxi did not go to visit in person, but asked Baofu to go on her behalf.
Baofu's face was puffed with anger. "Manager Fang is covered in wounds, not a single healthy spot. Her fingers are all bloody and she's still unconscious today. Lord Cheng said it will take months for Manager Fang to recover from her injuries."
Ji Yunxi sat on the couch, with her elbows resting on the table, holding the teacup in her palms, playing with the tea lid from time to time, and hummed when she heard the words.
Baofu looked at her, and then looked at her again, feeling a little aggrieved.
Ji Yunxi looked at her expression and was a little amused: "What's wrong? You want to say something."
Baofu nodded vigorously.
Ji Yunxi: "You say."
Baofu then said, "Young lady, you shouldn't have given that old couple so much money! In my opinion, you shouldn't have given them a single penny! You should have scolded them to death and spit in their faces! But young lady gave them so much money and let them leave Shangjing City happily. I'm so angry! I'm so angry that I'm going to die!"
At the end of his speech, Baofu had a vicious look on his face, his fists clenched, and he wished he could rush out of the city to catch up with the old man and woman and eat them alive.
Ji Yunxi raised her teacup and took a sip, then said softly, "Blessing or misfortune, who knows."
Baofu scratched his head, not understanding.
Ji Yunxi glanced at her and said, "I'll be alone for a while, you can go down."
Baofu said yes and left.
Ji Yunxi put down the teacup and stared at the tea in the cup in a daze.
In this life, she rarely recalls many old events from her previous life.
But Fang Yuan's incident brought back some memories.
In this life, she was born into a powerful family and was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.
But she was not like that in her previous life.
She grew up in the mountains. There are three children in her family. She is the eldest sister and has two younger brothers.
My family was poor and we only had two beds.
My parents shared a small bed, and the three of us siblings shared another.
At that time, Ji Yunxi was only six years old. After she fell asleep, her sleeping posture was not very good, with her hands and feet pressing on her younger brother, and her younger brother started crying.
Her parents were woken up and started beating her without saying a word.
There were so many little things, many of which had even faded away and she could hardly remember them.
But after all, she was born in modern times, so she was not as miserable as Fang Yuan, who went to a big city alone when he was a teenager.
There are many opportunities in big cities, and she found the field that suits her. Step by step, she suffered a lot of losses and stumbled many times, but then she got up again and again, and finally became Mr. Ji, a powerful figure in the investment world.
