Rice wine and dumpling soup. Sweet.
Wu Weian looked at Ji Yunxi with a smile and picked up the chopsticks again.
In the end, he finished the whole bowl of rice, but left the piece of pickled cabbage.
Ji Yunxi smiled and said, "Master Wu, please save food."
Wu Weian sighed softly.
Women really hold grudges.
He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then reached out and picked up the piece of pickled cabbage and put it into his mouth.
As soon as he put it in his mouth, Wu Wei'an frowned: "It's so sour."
Ji Yunxi raised her eyebrows, slightly surprised.
Unexpectedly, he actually ate it.
Ji Yunxi shook her head, put down her chopsticks and stood up.
But she didn't expect that her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
Ji Yunxi was unable to react for a moment and was pulled down and landed on Wu Weian's legs.
As soon as she raised her head, her lips fell.
Afterwards, Wu Weian subconsciously held the tip of his tongue to take a deep breath.
The pickled cabbage is really sour.
It really hurt when she bit me.
Chapter 83 Let’s Go
It started raining the night Ji Mingyan and Du Niangzi watched the ants moving.
Ji Yunxi and Wu Weian had both finished washing up and were staying in their rooms, each busy with their own things.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of rain outside the window, and it was getting heavier and heavier.
Wu Wei'an sat at the table, looking at the trees outside that were leaning here and there, and suddenly thought of something: "Did you say the prince is back?"
Ji Yunxi flipped through the letters sent from Kaitai Manor and cloth shops in various places: "I don't know."
Wu Wei'an held the brush in one hand and supported his chin with the other: "I have a lot of files that I asked the Crown Prince to help me deal with. I guess the Crown Prince should still be in the palace."
Ji Yunxi glanced at him: "So?"
Wu Wei'an: "The Crown Prince's injuries haven't healed yet, and he hasn't returned in such heavy rain. As an official, I'm a little worried."
Worry?
Ji Yunxi sneered.
Wu Wei'an tapped his chin with his five fingers and pondered, "From both a moral and logical point of view, shouldn't I go and pick up the prince?"
Ji Yunxi knew what Wu Weian wanted to do as soon as she heard it.
In her previous life, in order to grab business, Ji Yunxi chose rainy days and went to deliver things to customers even though she was soaked.
Those things weren't really important, and didn't necessarily have to be delivered on a rainy day. But Ji Yunxi did it anyway.
She raised her head, glanced at the strong wind and heavy rain outside, and said calmly: "The mansion is not far from the backyard. You must have an umbrella in your mansion, right?"
Wu Wei'an nodded: "Yes."
Ji Yunxi hummed, "The prince is older than you and me. He knows to go home with an umbrella when it rains. Even if you go, the prince will get wet anyway, so why bother? Besides, it's this late, why bother going out?"
Wu Wei'an glanced at Ji Yunxi with a half-smile: "Madam, are you concerned about me, or are you afraid that I will steal the prince's heart and make him lose his relationship with your Ji family?"
Ji Yunxi raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were neither sad nor happy, and her tone was cold: "I said I care about you, do you believe it?"
Wu Wei'an: "If I say I don't believe it, will Madam say, 'If you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do'?"
Ji Yunxi shrugged.
Wu Wei'an finally stood up: "I'm still worried about the prince, I have to go and see for myself."
Before this, Wu Weian was willing to support the prince because of the Ji family.
But in just a few days, Wu Weian felt that it was indeed a good idea for the prince to be the emperor.
Given the prince's personality, as long as he trusts and likes me, I will surely live a worry-free life from now on.
The prince treats him well now only because he is Ji Yunxi's husband.
He didn't think that he would be more important than the Ji family in the prince's mind.
But it can't be too light, at least it has to be almost the same.
Wu Wei'an took an umbrella from the side: "It's a rainy night, I really don't want to go out."
Ji Yunxi knew what Wu Weian meant, and after hearing that, she poured cold water on him: "It's just a superfluous act. If there is a dispute between the Ji and Wu families, His Highness will definitely choose our Ji family."
Wu Wei'an chuckled, "Madam, are you so sure? How about you come with me to fetch the Crown Prince? Otherwise, if the Crown Prince turns to me in the future, you won't even have time to cry."
Hearing this, Ji Yunxi retracted her gaze and said, "Go away."

The candlelight flickered in the room, and the prince was concentrating on reading the Liangzhou files, reviewing them as he went.
Nowadays, although the prince has been involved in the affairs of the court, he is not actually involved in many things. He is only involved in a few unimportant matters, such as being in charge of some sacrificial rituals and helping to handle a few major cases.
In a case like Liangzhou, the prince was actually involved in the administration of a place, from major events like floods that affected the lives of ordinary people to small matters like a constable in the government office wanting to go back to his hometown to visit his mother. It was the first time for the prince to come into contact with each of these matters.
He was so engrossed in these minor incidents that he looked at the entire Liangzhou City. For a moment he forgot the time and even skipped dinner.
Until the door was pushed open, Wu Weian appeared in front of him: "Your Highness, it's time for you to go back."
The prince raised his head subconsciously.
Seeing Wu Wei'an soaked in rain, the prince was startled: "Is it raining outside?"
Wu Wei'an nodded, wiped the rain from his head, and handed the prince an umbrella: "Your Highness, it's getting late, you'd better go back to your room and rest early."
The prince then realized that his wound was aching slightly and he was hungry.
He took Wu Weian's umbrella, looked Wu Weian up and down, and was shocked again: "Why are you so wet?"
"It's raining heavily outside." Wu Wei'an said, "I had already gone to bed, but I was worried that the prince had not returned yet, so I came to check on him. Fortunately, I came, otherwise, Your Highness would have stayed here for how long? Your Highness, your arrow wound has not healed yet, so you'd better be careful."
The Crown Prince and Wu Wei'an walked out together. "After meeting today, I realized that governing the people's livelihood in a state is not an easy task. I just saw that you, Wei'an, have done a very good job these days. You did an even better job with the Xie family. Even if I were you, I would never do such a thing! You were seriously injured at the execution ground that day, but you were able to hold on until Xie Bin's head fell off. What does my minor injury mean to you?"
