"Sister Baofu, how is the young lady doing recently?" Jianhe asked, "The young lady hasn't returned home for several days. The Marquis and his men must miss her very much."
"The young lady has been busy with the cloth shop lately." Baofu, "How are the gentlemen at home?"
"Everything is fine." Jian He said, "How is my son-in-law?"
Baofu frowned immediately and glanced at Jianhe: "Why are you mentioning son-in-law?"
Jian He smiled and said, "Sister Baofu still doesn't like my uncle? I think my uncle is a man with a softer personality and doesn't seem to be able to take on responsibilities, but -"
Baofu immediately scolded, "What are you talking about! Do you think you can talk nonsense about the master's affairs behind his back?"
Jianhe was stunned: "But Sister Baofu, you are not..."
Baofu raised his head proudly: "I am me, and you are you. And I also do this in front of the young lady and the son-in-law. But you dare to say this in front of the young lady and the son-in-law? I tell you, I hate people who say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. If you do this again next time, I will let the young lady kick you out of the house!"
Jianhe paused, then begged for mercy with a playful laugh. After finally making Baofu feel better, she casually said, "Sister Baofu, I actually discovered something, but I don't know whether I should tell you."
Baofu frowned: "You say."
Jianhe leaned close to Baofu's ear and whispered a few words.
Wu family.
It was afternoon at this time. Ji Yunxi was leaning on the beauty couch with a gold-embossed invitation in her hand.
The invitation was sent by Li's sister, inviting her to attend the Osmanthus Fragrance Banquet on the afternoon of October 10th.
This osmanthus banquet has always only invited women, not men.
Ji Yunxi had just put the invitation on the table and was thinking about it when she saw Baofu rushing up breathlessly.
After rushing in a few steps, she remembered something and rushed back to the door. She stuck her head out to look around, and when she saw that the yard was quiet, she retracted her head and closed the door and windows.
Ji Yunxi: “?”
Baofu was running all the way, out of breath: "Miss, no no, it's not good, my uncle-in-law, he, he!"
Ji Yunxi looked at her with amusement: "What's the matter? Don't be impatient, tell me slowly."
Baofu took a few deep breaths, and when his breathing calmed down, he told Ji Yunxi everything Jianhe had told her. He was so angry that he was about to smoke: "Miss, I said there was something wrong with my son-in-law! He must have someone else outside!"
Ji Yunxi raised her eyebrows slightly.
She lowered her eyes and tapped the table with her fingertips: "Who told you?"
"Jianhe!" Baofu didn't care that Jianhe asked her to keep it a secret. She only kept it a secret for the young lady. "If Jianhe hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought of it! Jianhe is quite thoughtful. Young lady, you should reward her..."
Baofu realized that he had been misled and jumped up in anger: "Miss, now is not the time to worry about this! Every tenth day of the month, my son-in-law must be meeting his mistress! Miss!! You have to think of a solution! My son-in-law is using your money to support other women!!!"
Chapter 61 The Madam is Angry
Ji Yunxi didn't say much: "Go down first, let me think about it."
Baofu nodded and went out quickly.
After walking out, she pretended to be calm.
This is a serious matter. There are not only their people in the courtyard now, but also the brother-in-law's people.
Baofu likes the steward Yuan, Xuezhu and the cook very much.
But because of their different positions, Baofu would never leak the news to them and let them inform their master.
Inside the room, Ji Yunxi leaned back lazily.
The tenth day of every month?
She hadn't paid much attention to it.
It is true that Wu Weian does not go home overnight for a few days every month. He has his own things to do.
Ji Yunxi had no opinion on this and never delved into it.
Just like Wu Weian, he never delved into her affairs.
For example, how did she know about the matter of Xing's parents, which even Xing Shuyue herself didn't know and about which Wu Weian's people couldn't find much clues?
That's the benefit of working with smart people.
Some things don't need to be said explicitly, both of them understand it tacitly.
Where are their respective bottom lines and which areas of the other party are not allowed to be stepped into.
Ji Yunxi clearly realized that Wu Weian didn't want her to know too much about the forces behind him.
He still didn't ask her for a large sum of money. He was just waiting and watching, probably to prevent her from finding out his sphere of influence through the amount of money.
Ji Yunxi noticed it, but naturally she would not ask, inquire, or investigate.
Aren't you curious?
Of course there is a little bit of that.
Knowing more secrets of your partners and holding more leverage over them will give you more ways to escape when things really break up.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Who doesn’t want to have more escape routes?
This is an instinct hidden in human nature.
Ji Yunxi has not tried to uncover the secrets of Wu Weian until now because she is restraining herself.
This move is bound to have an impact on the cooperative relationship between the two parties.
She couldn't do it on any level.
Restraining human instincts is a very important ability.
The same is true for Wu Weian.
He was naturally curious about how much property she had. How did she know those secrets that even he couldn't find out?
But Wu Weian never inquired about it.
But now, her opponent has put this matter in front of her.
It has to be said that the move made by the Fifth Prince and Xing Shuyue is similar to the arrangement made by her and Wu Weian.
It's all a plot to sow discord.
Wu Weian is not a simple person, and the Fifth Prince must have realized it.
The Fifth Prince was afraid that he would not be able to find out what Wu Weian did on the tenth day of every month, and he had no intention of finding out.
He simply let Jianhe push the matter in front of her.
Ji Yunxi had a slight impression of the maid Jian He. She had never entered her inner courtyard and hadn't made any moves in the past few years.
