The Xie family doesn't seem to be well-informed.
In short, in places like Liangzhou, the signboard of "Kaitai Zhuang" is much more useful than that of "Ji Family".
First it was Zi Guang Sandalwood, then the Bamboo and Rock Picture, and finally Kaitai Manor.
Mrs. Xie was hit three times in a short period of time. She was shocked and stared at Ji Yunxi blankly.
Ji Yunxi said to Baofu, "Show him off."
Then he stood up and was about to turn around and leave.
A sense of fear suddenly swept over her body, and Mrs. Xie's hand holding the scroll began to shake uncontrollably.
Her precious son, this time, she was really afraid...
The scroll fell to the ground. Mrs. Xie thought of her precious son and was enraged. She lost her mind and rushed forward to grab Ji Yunxi: "If you are not short of money, then why did you accept those five hundred taels last night?! Why did you pretend like that?! You did it on purpose, you just want to harm my Xie family!!"
But Madam Xie had no chance to touch Ji Yunxi at all. Baofu pushed her to the ground with force.
The Xie family has always been fat, and the fat Mrs. Xie struggled on the ground for a long time but couldn't get up.
Baofu snorted coldly and said on the spot: "Come here! Madam Xie is trying to harm the wife of the prefect. Why don't you suppress her and punish her according to the law!"

It turned out to be five hundred taels.
Ji Yunxi guessed that Wu Weian would definitely have a backup plan.
She returned to her room and thought carefully about what he had been doing since returning from Xie's house last night.
He seemed to be sorting his books.
Ji Yunxi walked to his bookshelf, reached in and after a while, she took out a rosewood box hidden behind the bookshelf.
The wooden box was unusually smooth, looking like it had been played with frequently and was quite old.
The surface is decorated with seven-piece locks.
Ji Yunxi tried it casually and found that this seven-piece lock was specially improved by him. It was a bit difficult and she couldn't solve it for a while.
The more Ji Yunxi couldn't solve it, the more she wanted to.
She took the rosewood box, sat on the beauty couch, locked herself in the room for an entire afternoon, and finally managed to unlock the seven-piece lock.
There were a few human skins in the box, and of course the one hundred taels.
She took a look, took out a hundred taels, and then put the rosewood box back in its original state.
Wu Weian was busy outside all day and came back after dinner.
When he arrived at the bedroom, Ji Yunxi was not there.
Wu Weian took off his coat and walked to the clothes rack, but when he passed the bookshelf, he stopped suddenly.
Something is wrong.
Something is very wrong.
Without hesitation, he took out some books and took out the rosewood box at the back.
Wu Weian opened it as quickly as possible and saw that the one hundred taels inside were missing.
He closed his eyes and closed the rosewood box very slowly.
Then he lowered his head and sniffed gently around the seven-piece lock with the tip of his nose.
This fragrance——
In the evening, Wu Weian lay down on the bed early, closed his eyes, and seemed to have fallen asleep.
After Ji Yunxi finished washing up, she glanced at him and stepped into the bed.
Wu Weian suddenly said, "I heard that Madam Xie came to see you."
Ji Yunxi: "Yeah."
Wu Wei'an: "Do you know?"
Ji Yunxi lay down, turned over, and faced away from him, her tone slightly sleepy: "Know what?"
Wu Weian looked at her back deeply: "The Xie family actually gave me five hundred taels."
Ji Yunxi hummed calmly: "Mrs. Xie did say so."
Wu Weian paused, his tone sounding a little hesitant and reluctant: "Should I still give you that hundred taels?"
Ji Yunxi closed her eyes and said lightly, "No need, you can keep it."
Wu Weian laughed angrily.
He looked at her back, reached out his hand, pulled her over, and then pressed her down.
Ji Yunxi didn't react at all. She struggled subconsciously, with an angry look on her face: "What are you doing?"
Wu Weian clasped her wrists with one hand and pressed his other hand on her heart, panting and gritting his teeth: "Third Miss, your heart is even darker than mine."
Chapter 72 I'm really hurt.
Realizing what had happened, the two people who were originally on the verge of a fight suddenly became quiet.
Ji Yunxi stopped struggling.
Wu Weian also slowly relaxed his strength.
He lowered his eyes and looked at Ji Yunxi's face.
A trace of surprise and astonishment rarely appeared on her usually calm face.
The room fell into silence, and for a moment, the noise outside could be heard dimly.
It seemed to be Ji Mingyan's excited talk, vividly describing what he saw and heard in Liangzhou that day.
The sound was far away, yet close at the same time.
It is clearly the same world inside and outside the door, but it seems like two different worlds.
In mid-March, a tree outside the yard sprouted new buds. The buds broke out of the shells little by little. On the spring night, they stood gracefully on the branches, bathing in the gentle moonlight like water tonight.
Wu Weian blinked lightly, and the tips of his ears suddenly turned red.
A slight blush appeared on Ji Yunxi's face. She gritted her teeth, a look of anger flashed across her face, and she wanted to kick someone.
But before she could kick out, Ji Mingyan's voice was getting closer and closer, and he had arrived outside their bedroom without her knowing when: "Third sister, brother-in-law! Are you asleep?!"
The two people on the bed separated in an instant. Ji Yunxi pulled the quilt over her. Wu Weian rolled to the edge of the bed, bounced his legs lightly, and sat on the edge of the bed.
Ji Mingyan asked this, but he didn't stop pushing the door open. He rushed in, excitedly holding three strings of candied haws, and said, "The candied haws in Liangzhou are bigger than those in Shangjing, and even sweeter!"
Wu Wei'an maintained a polite smile: "Really?"
Ji Yunxi in the bed said in a cold tone: "Sixth brother, don't you know how to knock on the door?"
Ji Mingyan stopped and clearly heard the anger in his third sister's words.
