Jianhe paused.
Seeing Ji Yunxiang's face, she realized that she had said the wrong thing.
Jianhe did not tell Xing Shuyue about some things about the Ji Mansion.
Because she also kept some for herself, fearing that Xing Shuyue would throw it away after using it.
She opened her mouth and stuttered for a moment: "Third Miss, it's nothing, it's nothing, I, it's not, I just said the wrong thing. I, I don't know anything..."
Ji Yunxi was just struggling with how to deal with Jianhe.
In the past, she had always handed over the spies in the mansion to her second brother.
Later, her second brother went to guard the border, and the servants in the mansion were all old. She didn't find anyone wrong, so she didn't have this worry for a few years.
But now, Ji Yunxi has to face it.
Fighting and killing were commonplace in ancient times.
But in modern times, it is different.
After all, Ji Yunxi was born and raised in modern times. She also has many not-so-honest methods, but her hands are not stained with blood.
Although in ancient times, many people died indirectly at her hands because of her scheming.
For example, the fifth prince.
But after all, this is somewhat different from ordering Wanxiang to kill Jianhe.
People are sometimes just pretentious.
Even though Ji Yunxi has always considered herself not to be a pretentious person, at times like this, Ji Yunxi would still feel conflicted.
But no matter what, this lotus cannot be kept.
Especially since she just let something slip.
Ji Yunxi believed that Jianhe would not know any major events in the Ji family, and probably only knew some minor living habits.
For example, what kind of tea her eldest brother likes, how to get her fifth brother out of the hospital, what her sixth brother's actual temperament is like, what he is most afraid of, and so on.
If these living habits were known to others, they might be fatal.
Wu Weian put down the pen in his hand at the table.
He rose from his chair.
Jianhe was so scared that she couldn't say anything to defend herself and kept crying and hiccuping.
Wu Weian passed by her.
Jianhe could see the fluttering hem of her brother-in-law's clothes as he walked, and a hint of fruity fragrance coming from him.
Wu Weian said with a smile: "If you trust me, leave this girl to me."
Jianhe looked up subconsciously.
Because of the gentle and affectionate tone of the uncle, and also because of the intimate word "girl" that he used.
Is the girl that the son-in-law mentioned referring to her?
Yet, no one has ever called her that.
Will the son-in-law help her?
Jianhe stared blankly at Wu Weian's face.
Jianhe had seen her son-in-law from afar when he came to the Ji family before. At that time, she didn't think much of it and thought that her son-in-law looked a little ordinary.
But in fact, this is just because she has met many masters in the Ji family.
Actually, my son-in-law looks quite gentle and handsome.
And he was really tall, so it was a bit difficult for her to look up at him.
The next moment, Jian He heard Ji Yunxi say, "Okay."
Jianhe subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
And what was a coincidence was that at this moment, her brother-in-law, who had been looking down at her, suddenly raised his lips and smiled at her.
The name Jianhe was given to her by Xing Shuyue back then.
When she woke up, Xing Shuyue recited a line of poetry: "The little lotus has just revealed its pointed tip."
"The young lotus has just begun to show its tip."
Jianhe murmured softly subconsciously.
Until she was picked up by Xuezhu, Jianhe still held on to the thought that her brother-in-law would definitely rescue her from the young lady.
But until her death, Jianhe never saw Wu Weian again.
Ji Yunxi watched him go away, and only when the bedroom door was closed did she look at him, frowning in displeasure: "You..."
After saying three words, she stopped talking.
Wu Wei'an raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What's wrong with me?"
Ji Yunxi felt it was very boring: "Nothing."
"What's the matter?" Wu Wei'an said excitedly, "Don't you know that it's annoying to stop talking halfway?"
"Oh, it's up to you." Ji Yunxi said perfunctorily.
She ignored him, took a map from the pile of maps beside her, spread it on the table and looked through it carefully.
Now the Ji family's cloth shop business is getting better and better, while the Xing family's cloth shop is not doing well.
The Xing family has branches in all the wealthy places in Dayu. Ji Yunxi is planning to open branches in these places, which will just attract the customers of the Xing family's cloth shop.
Now that the Xing family's assets were all in the hands of the emperor, it was impossible for her to acquire them at a low price, so she had no choice but to open her own branch.
When opening a branch, location selection is very important.
There was no electronic technology or various map software in this era.
She could only look at the map.
Wu Weian stood beside her, looked down at her, then looked at her again, then suddenly reached out and quickly pulled the map away from her.
Ji Yunxi, holding a pen and just about to circle a spot she had been looking for for a long time, said: "..."
She remained motionless holding the pen, the ink on the pen pooled at the tip and then dripped onto the table, and she fainted.
Ji Yunxi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "Put it back."
"No." Wu Weian hid the map behind his back. "The action you just mentioned is similar to my action of taking your map. Now you know how upset I am—"
"Wu Weian!!" Ji Yunxi was completely furious. "Put the **** back to me!!"
Wu Weian shuddered, and without delay, he handed the map back to her without saying a word.
Don't mention it, he has discovered her a little more now.
Besides not tricking her into taking a walk, you must never take her things while she is concentrating on doing something.
This is more terrible than tricking her into taking a walk.
But what did she just say?
Ji Yunxi's chest heaved violently. She took a deep breath, lowered her head, and went back to find the spot she wanted to circle.
But the map was so densely packed that she couldn't find it after searching for a while.
