After explaining everything, Wu Weian returned to his room.
He handed the mask he had made these days to Ji Yunxi: "Madam, try it."
The mask is extremely light, just a thin layer, thinner than modern facial masks, so it is hard to tell what it looks like.
Ji Yunxi sat in front of the dressing mirror, trying to put it on for a long time without success. She looked at the person standing behind her and watched, raised an eyebrow and asked, "How do I put it on?"
Wu Weian walked forward, bent down, took the mask from her hand, and helped her put it on step by step.
The key to the mask is the two places behind the ears. I don’t know what kind of coating was used. He applied a little force with his hands, and Ji Yunxi suddenly felt a burn behind her ears, and the mask was put on firmly.
She raised her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror.
The originally exquisite and gorgeous facial features were covered up, revealing slightly ordinary features.
It's not ugly, a little delicate, and won't stand out in the crowd.
Ji Yunxi tilted her head slightly and looked at Wu Weian behind her with a smile on her face.
This man is really petty.
The man smiled faintly: "Look, don't they look good together?"
Ji Yunxi snorted lightly.
The next moment, Wu Weian took out his own mask from his arms and put it on himself.
In the residence of the governor of Liangzhou, a man with charming eyes and seductive features quietly left with a woman of slightly ordinary appearance.
The night wind blew, carrying with it the sound of two people talking in low voices.
"Madam, are you satisfied with this mask?"
"Let's change the name."
"Madam, you are quite cautious. What did you want me to call you?"
"master."
Chapter 97 Someone Offers a Higher Price
The next morning, the first rays of sunlight broke through the clouds, enveloping the world below.
Ji Mingyan got up very early.
He packed his luggage last night and prepared to go out with his sister and brother-in-law this morning to escape the summer heat and enjoy the scenery.
But Ji Mingyan waited in the hall for a while, but nothing happened.
The backyard was quiet; the maids hadn't gotten up yet. Yesterday, Ji Yunxi had instructed Wanxiang to inform everyone that she and Wu Weian wouldn't need anyone to serve them for the next period of time. They only needed to keep the house clean and tidy, and everything else was up to them.
Ji Mingyan sat in the main seat and continued to wait for a while, but he could still only see Xuezhu's figure moving back and forth as fast as lightning.
The longer I waited, the more something felt wrong. This feeling was eerily familiar.
This was how he felt when his elder and second brothers didn't want to take him out and tried to trick him when he was a child.
Ji Mingyan thought about it, rummaged through his bag, took out a bag of soil, and sprinkled it on the ground in front of him.
Soon, a gust of wind blew, and Xuezhu holding a broom appeared in front of Ji Mingyan.
Ji Mingyan squatted aside and watched Xuezhu sweeping the dirt. He asked, "Xuezhu, aren't we leaving today to escape the summer heat?"
Xue Zhu glanced at Ji Mingyan and said, "No."
Ji Mingyan: "?? But I clearly heard my brother-in-law and Wen Zhaomo say yesterday that they were going to take my third sister on a summer vacation!"
Xue Zhu finished sweeping the dirt and looked at Ji Mingyan strangely: "Young Master's wife left last night."
He saw it.
Ji Mingyan was shocked: "?? Why? They don't take us with them?"
Why do we need to be together?
Xuezhu couldn't figure it out, but it didn't matter: "You can go by yourself."
After saying this, Xuezhu disappeared again with the wind.
The young master said that they didn't need to follow him and should find things to do on their own.
As luck would have it, Xuezhu had recently noticed that the streets of Liangzhou weren't very clean. He planned to go to the government office and grab a few constables to help him clean the streets.
As soon as Xuezhu left, Ji Mingyan ran to Ji Yunxi's yard.
Sure enough, Ji Yunxi and Wu Weian's room was empty.
If you were to ask what Ji Mingyan feared most in this world, it would be that no one would play with him.
Ji Mingyan looked at the empty room for a long time, then remembered something and hurried back to Poison Lady.
The Poison Lady had just gotten up and was throwing bottles and jars into the room with a large bag, laughing sinisterly as she did so: "Hehehe, I've finally waited for this day. I'll poison you to death! A bunch of idiots who were born but not raised by their mothers and only know a little bit of kung fu!"
Ji Mingyan stood outside the door, his eyes widened as he looked at the woman whose behavior was unusually familiar but whose face was very unfamiliar.
This person is more than ten years younger than his sister Poison. The previous Poison Lady looked to be in her thirties, but now she looks like this.
With bright eyes and a chubby baby face, he looks no more than a teenager.
"A-Ah, Sister Du?"
Hearing this, Poison Lady raised her head and glanced outside.
A baby-faced woman picked her nose in a rather unrefined manner. "What's that expression? Did you see a ghost in broad daylight?"
Ji Mingyan: "Did you ask your brother-in-law for a mask?"
Poison Lady frowned and sprinkled a handful of powder over. "Mask, you idiot! Can you talk? I look like this! I was only wearing a mask before! I've been wearing a mask for five years, five whole years! The Master said I don't have to wear a mask anymore from now on. Hahahaha, I've made it! Screw you!"
Ji Mingyan was stunned by what he heard, but the mask was not important to him. He looked at the large bundle in Lady Du's hand and asked, "Sister Du, where are you going?"
The Poison Lady continued to stuff poison into the mouth: "Go and get revenge!"
Ji Mingyan immediately said, "I'll go with you!"
Poison Lady stopped packing and looked Ji Mingyan up and down: "You? That's fine too."
She had many enemies. Back then, she relied on her eloquence to curse people wherever she went, and offended a lot of people.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been hiding for five years wearing a mask.

Seven days later, Yuzhou.
At the end of June, the heat was unbearable. The scorching afternoon sun poured down, making people's faces hot.
