Wu Weian reached out and pulled her into his arms. The woman's fragrance instantly lingered around his nose. He spoke in a low voice that sounded like a cat purring, "Well, you heard wrong."
He hugged her tighter and said, "If you don't want to go, that's fine, but can you come back earlier in the next few days?"
Thinking that he wouldn't be able to see her for more than two months, Wu Weian even wanted to go to the emperor tomorrow to retire and return home.
It doesn’t matter if this prime minister is not qualified.
Wouldn't it be nice to stay home and spend time with my wife and daughter? Anyway, the money my wife earns is enough for them to live carefree lives for several lifetimes.
Ji Yunxi lowered her eyelashes: "I'm afraid I can't. It will be very late these few days."
Wu Wei'an: "I'm going on a long trip in a few days, and I won't be able to see you for two months. Can't you stay with me for a few nights?"
Ji Yunxi: "No."
Wu Weian pursed his lips, withdrew his hand immediately, lifted the quilt and climbed up.
He couldn't bear this anymore, he wanted to sleep in the study!
Ji Yunxi was still lying comfortably on the bed, and said calmly, "I plan to take care of things in the next few days, and then I can go to Jiangnan for a walk."
Wu Wei'an stopped and turned around, suspecting he had misheard: "What?"
Ji Yunxi reached out and pulled the quilt: "Forget it if you can't hear it."
"I heard it." Wu Wei'an returned to the bed, a smile in his eyes, and pulled his wife's quilt, wanting to kiss her, "I heard it."
Ji Yunxi pulled the quilt hard and refused to let go, her whole body resisting: "No, I'm tired."
Wu Wei'an: "I'll just give you a kiss."
Ji Yunxi: "You said the same thing last night."
Wu Wei'an: "Really? Did I say that?"
Ji Yunxi's face was so cold that ice chips could fall off: "...Take your hands away, or you will go to Jiangnan by yourself."

The next day everything was fine, the sun was shining brightly, the prime minister's wife was busy as a whirlwind, the prime minister was in high spirits, and the prime minister's daughter ran to find Lin Chongchong and the prince, and the three of them whispered for a long time.
Naturally, the ones who were muttering were Yun Xiaoan and Lin Chongchong, and the prince was just listening.
On the third day, things suddenly became a little different.
Ji Yunxi was still busy as usual. She had to arrange everything for the next two months.
The shopkeepers under the Ji family saw this and were very worried.
The Third Miss seemed to be looking for some free time to relax. Sure enough, the rumors were not groundless.
Even Ji Mingshuang heard the rumors and rushed to find Ji Yunxi: "What's going on between you and Wu Weian?"
Ji Yunxi flipped through the list in her hand and looked up when she heard the words: "What?"
Ji Mingshuang is now the Minister of Justice. Over the years, he has been the only one supporting the Ji family.
Eldest brother Ji Mingxi had long since abandoned his family and gone to the temple to cultivate his virtues. Third brother Ji Minghao was leading troops far away on the frontier. Fifth brother Ji Mingyuan, a master of formations, was now missing. As long as he didn't want to come out, no one would be able to find him. Sixth brother Ji Mingyan, along with Poison Lady, traveled extensively to dig up poisonous insects and weeds.
The burden of the Ji family fell on the youngest brother Ji Mingshuang.
Upon hearing that Wu Weian was going to divorce his third sister, Ji Mingshuang came over immediately.
"Wu Wei'an wants to divorce you?"
Ji Yunxi's eyes moved and she roughly understood what had happened.
I guess Wu Weian was shouting about divorce to the world the day before yesterday, and others believed it.
Ji Yunxi shook her head helplessly: "No, he was just joking, Seventh Brother, don't take it seriously."
When he heard this, Ji Mingshuang's heart skipped a beat.
Ji Yunxi stayed up very late these past two days, her face looked pale and she was not in a very good condition.
Ji Mingshuang watched quietly, afraid that his third sister would be upset, so he didn't expose her lies and said, "That's good."
After a pause, he added: "If there is anything, remember to come to me."
Ji Yunxi laughed: "I understand, Seventh Brother."
Ji Mingshuang looked at Ji Yunxi's forced smile and left with a serious expression.
Seeing this, Ji Yunxi's subordinates looked at each other and asked silently, "Is the divorce true?"
Otherwise, why does Lord Ming Shuang look so unhappy?
In the government hall, Wu Weian was leaning back in his chair leisurely, reading a file, looking contented.
Ji Mingshuang rushed in and slammed the door shut.
Wu Wei'an raised his head and raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with you? Is there another case that makes you feel distressed?"
Ji Mingshuang slammed his palm on the table: "Wu Weian, do you want to divorce my third sister?"
Wu Wei'an: “???”
He just mentioned the divorce casually and only to his wife.
Ji Yunxi's personality is such that she would not mention these things to outsiders.
Wu Weian: "How do you know?"
Ji Mingshuang: "This is indeed true, Wu Weian, I didn't expect you to be such a heartless person. If you do anything wrong to my third sister, I will not let you go!"
Wu Weian stretched out his hand and frowned, "Seventh Brother misunderstood. I don't really want to divorce."
Ji Mingshuang frowned and stared at Wu Weian as if he was interrogating a criminal: "Did you really mention divorce?"
Wu Wei'an sighed: "...I did say that, but only——"
He looked at Ji Mingshuang, who was still alone in front of him, and thought that the other party would not understand even if he told him.
Things between husband and wife are very complicated.
Wu Weian: "Anyway, Yunniang and I are fine, don't worry, Seventh Brother."
Ji Mingshuang laughed angrily: "Very good? I just came back from Ji San's place, and she looked very bad. If it weren't for you, why would she be like this?"
Wu Wei'an seemed to be thinking, "I see. When I get home today, I'll ask Steward Yuan to make some more nourishing soups. Yunniang has been really busy these past few days."
Ji Mingshuang was completely confused: "???"
Wu Wei'an looked at Ji Mingshuang's expression and couldn't help but smile: "Yunniang agreed to go to Jiangnan with me, so she will be busy these days."
After a few words, Ji Mingshuang finally understood the whole story. With a blank expression, he reminded, "It's all spread out there. You can handle it yourself."
