Ji Yunxi shook her head and said, "I see you all want to be the boss? In that case, I'll give you two weeks to see who is the right one."
After saying that, Ji Yunxi put down the teacup and walked away.

Wu Wei'an traveled day and night and hardly closed his eyes on the road.
He fell asleep in the side room.
He was woken up when the maid came to deliver dinner.
Wu Wei'an stood up coughing and asked weakly, "Where's the madam?"
The maid was slightly surprised. This was the first time her son-in-law had gotten up in a month. It seemed that his injury had healed much better.
She quickly replied, "Madam hasn't come back yet."
Wu Wei'an said, "When the Madam comes back, tell her to come to the side room."
The maid replied yes and retreated respectfully.
After leaving the escort agency, Ji Yunxi went to the cloth shop again and even went to take a look at the shop of the Xie family that was raided.
Then he had a meal at the best restaurant in Liangzhou before returning to the government office.
As soon as she arrived, the maid came up and bowed to her: "Madam, the son-in-law wants you to go to the side room."
Hearing this, Ji Yunxi frowned slightly and stopped: "My son-in-law asked me to go to the side room?"
Maid: "Yes, today I went to deliver dinner, and my son-in-law told me to do so."
Ji Yunxi raised her head and looked towards the side room not far away, seeming to be thinking about something.
After a while, she lowered her eyes and said, "I understand."
In the side room, Wu Weian heard Ji Yunxi's voice.
He was originally lying lazily, but suddenly he lay flat and pulled the quilt up to cover his head.
But he waited and waited, but Ji Yunxi never showed up.
On the other side, Ji Yunxi returned to the bedroom, took her pajamas, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
When she came back from washing up, there was another person on the bed in the bedroom.
The man was lying flat on his back with the quilt pulled over his head, exactly the same sleeping habits as Xuezhu.
Ji Yunxi stared at the man for several times, took some things from the side, and walked step by step to the bed.
Under the quilt, Wu Weian just raised his lips when a large stack of letters flew directly towards his face.
Chapter 77 Purse
Half a month ago, Youshan.
In the damp and dark cave, Wu Weian opened his eyes.
The golden toad poison in his body and the antidote based on the fire-feathered bird tail flower, the two medicinal properties collided through his meridians for three whole days.
The meridians in his body were broken and then reshaped, and the pain was like the pain of having his bones removed and then regenerated. It was a thousand times more painful than any previous attack of the poison.
But in the end, he survived.
Just like when he was born eighteen years ago, just like when he was walking on the edge of life and death in his early years.
When this moment really came, Wu Weian's heart was calmer than at any other time.
There wasn't much joy, and it was no different from any other day.
Wu Weian wiped the sweat off his forehead, stood up and walked out of the cave.
He listened carefully and heard the voices of Ji Mingyan and Du Niangzi talking not far away.
Ji Mingyan: "Sister Du! This snake's skin is so beautiful. I've never seen such a beautiful snake in my life. Do you think I should take it home and raise it?"
Poison Lady reminded him, "We're going back to Liangzhou, not the capital. You don't have your own courtyard. Are you sure Madam will let you maintain it?"
Ji Mingyan swallowed his saliva: "But, it's really beautiful."
Poison Lady: "Indeed, this is a seven-colored snake. It might fetch a good price in Huoling Village!"
Ji Mingyan: "But I can't bear to sell it."
Poison Lady: "It's not yours yet. Who will win is still unknown!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of breaking air. It seemed that the Poison Lady had taken action.
But the colorful snake in Youshan was not a pushover. It had sensed the danger early on. When the Poison Lady rushed towards it, it fled quickly and swam straight towards Wu Weian.
The colorful snake seemed unable to sense Wu Weian's aura and swam straight past his feet.
Wu Weian stretched out his foot and stepped directly on the snake's head.
He controlled his strength and did not step on the snake to death.
The snake struggled and squirmed, but couldn't get free.
In the blink of an eye, Du Niangzi and Ji Mingyan arrived one after another.
When they saw Wu Weian, their eyes lit up.
Poison Lady called out, "Sir," and swallowed back the words, "You're not dead."
Ji Mingyan: "Brother-in-law, you're finally awake! Sister Du and I were worried you wouldn't wake up!"
Wu Weian nodded lightly.
He didn't realize how worried these two people were about him.
For Ji Mingyan and Du Niangzi, this secluded mountain is full of treasures.
Three days ago, they hurriedly picked the fire-feathered bird's tail flower, prepared the antidote for Wu Weian, and after feeding it to him, they immediately went all over the mountains to pick grass and catch insects.
Du Niangzi and Ji Mingyan flew to Wu Weian's feet and squatted there looking at the snake.
Ji Mingyan raised his head and looked at Wu Weian eagerly: "Brother-in-law, can you give this snake to Sixth Brother?"
Poison Lady also looked up: "Sir, the seven-colored snake can be sold for two hundred taels. How about we each get one hundred taels?"
Wu Weian raised his eyebrows frivolously. He bent down, picked up the snake, and handed it to the Poison Lady: "I'll take seven, you take three."
The Poison Lady squeezed out a "good" from between her teeth and took the snake.
Ji Mingyan's eyes were filled with longing: "Brother-in-law, you can sell me this snake and I'll buy it! I'll buy it from you for two hundred taels!"
Wu Wei'an asked him, "Sixth brother, how much silver do you owe Yunniang?"
Ji Mingyan scratched his head and said, "I don't remember. I have to go back and ask Baofu."
Wu Weian curled the corners of his lips and looked up at the sky which was covered by towering trees, making it impossible to see the sun and calculate the time based on the sun.
He said, "Let's go and return to Liangzhou."
Ji Mingyan exclaimed, "Are you leaving now?" He looked around and was obviously reluctant to leave Youshan.
Poison Lady said, "Sir, there are a lot of Cordyceps in this mountain that can be sold for a lot of money."
