Ji Yunxi opened the car curtain with an umbrella. Baofu saw that Ji Yunxi didn't hold an umbrella, and was afraid that the rain would fall on her, so he quickly raised his hand.
Ji Yunxi shook her head helplessly, fell to the ground with the support of Wanxiang, and then opened the umbrella.
The master and his two servants, led by Wanxiang, walked into the alley.
The ground in the alley was wet, and the rain fell, creating ripples.
The three of them stopped in front of a slightly narrow door.
Wanxiang knocked on the door.
Not long after, the door creaked open and Aunt Gui wondered, "Who is it?"
Hearing the voice, Ji Yunxi raised her head and looked at the other person.
When she saw Ji Yunxi, Aunt Gui was also stunned for a moment.
She was a little dazed.
This noble lady is somewhat similar to the benefactor who saved her.
Thinking about her current status as the wife of the Liangzhou governor, Aunt Gui understood instantly. She quickly opened the door, stepped aside, and said briskly, "Is that Miss Ji? It's raining outside, be careful not to get your shoes and socks wet. Come in and talk."
Ji Yunxi put away the umbrella.
She asked Baofu to go back to the carriage first and took Wanxiang in.
Baofu was not annoyed.
There are some things that she shouldn't know, and she never asks.
And since it is really important, it is better not to tell her.
There is only one room inside, which is small but has everything needed.
Aunt Gui was busy running around. She first boiled some water, then took out the tea she had just bought, which she was reluctant to drink herself and planned to take back to Qinghe County for her mother to drink, and made a cup of tea for Ji Yunxi and Wanxiang respectively.
Aunt Gui's husband's family lives in Liangzhou City, and this house is where she and her husband lived back then.
After her husband died and her son went to join the army, she returned to her parents' home in Qinghe County.
She had planned to return a few days ago, but it started to rain. She thought it was troublesome to travel in the rain, so she planned to wait a few more days until the rain stopped before returning to Qinghe County.
Ji Yunxi picked up the teacup and held it in her hands to warm her palms.
Aunt Gui took a lot of melon seeds, peanuts and plums and placed them in front of Ji Yunxi before sitting down beside her.
She was a very straightforward person. As soon as she sat down, she asked, "Are you here for your parents?"
Ji Yunxi observed the woman in front of her calmly and nodded: "Yes."
Eight years ago, Ji Yunxi's parents died in the Liangzhou flood.
Her eldest brother and second brother sent people to investigate, but they didn't find any problems.
But ever since she knew that the world she traveled to was a book and her Ji family was cannon fodder, Ji Yunxi always felt that things were not that simple.
But she never started to investigate. Eight years ago, her eldest and second brothers sent people to investigate thoroughly but they found nothing.
Eight years had passed, and many things must have been lost in the long river of time. She was in the capital, sending people to investigate Liangzhou, fearing that if they failed to find out, they would alert those behind them.
Therefore, Ji Yunxi never acted rashly.
But now, the fifth prince is dead and Wu Weian's poison has been cured.
She is also in Liangzhou City.
She felt that it was time to move.
Aunt Gui looked ahead with a blank look in her eyes.
She thought back to what happened eight years ago.
Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced and countless families lost their loved ones.
Aunt Gui's eyes were slightly hot. She lifted her sleeve and wiped the corner of her eyes. "After what happened that year, many people came to ask me. Although I don't know why, I still want to tell you. Your father first saved my seven-year-old nephew, and after hurriedly handing my nephew to me, he tried to save me..."
Aunt Gui choked up, "My husband and I... The flood was so fierce that a wave came and swept them both away. They never came back..."
Aunt Gui kept wiping her tears with her rough hands. She turned her head and looked away, taking a deep breath. "I'm very grateful, but also very guilty. Your father died trying to save my man. Your mother was washed away by the water while trying to save a little girl. I saw it, and I wanted to help your mother, but I was really too far away from her. I couldn't make it in time. I couldn't catch up..."
A tear slid across Ji Yunxi's eye. She was not paying attention for a moment and the teacup in her hand was knocked over, scalding her hand.
This answer is exactly the same as the one found by the eldest and second brothers back then.
But Ji Yunxi didn't believe it, so she went to see it herself. If this person was lying, Ji Yunxi could tell.
But when she looked at Aunt Gui who was crying in front of her, she knew very clearly that what Aunt Gui said was true.
Her parents probably really died just saving someone.

Wu Weian was busy until very late before returning home.
When he finished washing up and returned to the room, Ji Yunxi was already asleep facing inward.
I heard that she went out during the day and her hands were burned when she came back.
Wu Weian got on the bed quietly, held her hand gently and looked at her.
The wound has been carefully bandaged.
He took a closer sniff and could tell that it was a high-quality ointment.
Ji Yunxi has always been good at taking care of herself.
This made Wu Weian sigh lightly.
Not everyone is born with the ability to take good care of themselves.
Who did she meet during the day and what did she do?
If Wu Weian wants to know, he will naturally know.
But he didn't try to find out.
Wu Weian put Ji Yunxi's hand back into the quilt, extinguished the candle, and gently held her in his arms.
Before the poison was removed, I always felt restless when holding her.
But after the poison was cured, he became less likely to get close to her.
He was afraid of losing control.
Now is not the time.
Just wait until everything is settled.
He wanted his and her child to be born when the rivers and seas were peaceful and the times were prosperous.
Chapter 81 He is jealous
Ji Yunxi's right hand was burned, and it was almost healed after applying ointment for a few days.
Over the next few days, the rain continued to fall.
Liangzhou suffered a major flood eight years ago, and in the following years, the city was always flooded during the rainy season.
At times like this, material reserves become particularly important for each household.
