Ji Mingshuang was silent for a moment and said nothing more.
Yes, he forgot that when his third sister was Yun'an's age, she was also thinking about making money.
As for my third brother-in-law, there is no need to say more.
Over the years, he, Wu Weining, and Wu Weian would occasionally go out to a restaurant for a meal, but every time the meal was about to end, Wu Weian would mysteriously disappear.
Yun'an is the daughter of these two people, so it's not surprising that this is happening now.
Yun Xiaoan stood at the door, seeing off her distinguished guests with a smile on her face.
The guests were very satisfied to see Ji Mingshuang, and they all left with beaming faces.
After seeing them off, Yun Xiaoan walked back. There were only two young guests left at the banquet.
The prince was sipping tea in small sips, while Lin Congchong was eating pastries in big mouthfuls.
The gifts given by the distinguished guests today were all very good. Yun Xiaoan adhered to the principle of reciprocity and prepared the best tea and cakes to serve the distinguished guests comfortably.
She learned this from her mother. The tea and cakes prepared by Dongyun Cloth Shop for the guests are also very good.
You get what you pay for, that's the truth.
These gifts from my sisters and aunts are worth such good tea and pastries.
But it’s not worth it for the Crown Prince and Lin Chongchong.
Yun Xiaoan ran over, snatched the teacup from the prince's hand, and grabbed the plate in front of Lin Chongchong.
The prince kept holding the teacup and drinking tea with his head down, and did not react for a moment.
Lin Chongchong's hand, which was reaching for the pastry, also stopped in mid-air.
Yun Xiaoan frowned and asked in a muffled voice, "Why don't you leave?"
The prince always said simply: "The tea is good."
The main thing is that it is quiet here.
Wu Xiang has been away from the capital these days, so his father has one less person to chat with, and he and his mother have to take on more responsibilities.
Although there were many guests at the Ji Mansion, they gathered in groups of three or four to chat and did not bother him, which was very good.
Lin Chongchong nodded vigorously: "The pastries are delicious too! Yun Xiaoan, are you still going to hold a banquet tomorrow?"
Yun Xiaoan nodded and raised his chin: "Yes, but you two can't come."
Prince: “?”
Lin Chongchong: "Why?"
Yun Xiaoan pointed at the prince first and said, "Brother Prince, you gave me a brush today." Then she pointed at Lin Congchong and said, "Lin Chongchong, you've gone even further. You only gave me five pieces of paper!"
The prince said: "That brush is worth two taels of silver."
Yun Xiaoan gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Crown Prince, you drank more than two taels of tea today!"
Lin Congchong held his bulging belly and said, "Five pieces of paper can be used to practice calligraphy for five days!"
Yun Xiaoan kicked over.
A moment later, the prince and Lin Congchong stood at the gate of Ji Mansion, looking at the closed door.
Lin Congchong said with a sad face: "Your Highness, we really can't come tomorrow?"
The prince said: "I have to accompany my mother to the temple to pray for blessings tomorrow, so I can't come."
He and his mother agreed to leave the palace for a few days to get some fresh air.
Yun Xiaoan is a hardworking little bee.
She helped to collect a lot of letters at the banquet today. Now, holding a stack of fragrant letter paper in her hand, she went to find her uncle Mingshuang.
Yun Xiaoan's search was in vain, as Ji Mingshuang was not in his yard.
She wandered around the Ji Mansion but couldn't find anyone. Thinking that Uncle Mingshuang and Second Uncle had always had a good relationship, she ran to the next door.
But Uncle Mingshuang is not at Uncle Weining's place either.
Yun Xiaoan could only go back to his bedroom, climb onto the bed and go to sleep.
As the night deepened, Yun Xiaoan, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly jumped up.
As long as she has something to do in her mind, she will always wake up. Over the years, Wu Wei'an has been disgusted with his daughter's habit.
Yun Xiaoan opened the window and looked at the moonlight, then ran out of the room with the stack of letters and began looking for someone in Ji Mansion.
The Ji Mansion covers a very large area, but only Ji Mingshuang lives in the mansion, so it is already empty.
It was late at night and things were getting quieter.
Yun Xiaoan stepped into the back garden, looking around and moving around while practicing his light skills.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound, and it seemed that there was someone in the woods behind!
Yun Xiaoan's ears moved, and he tiptoed towards the direction where the sound came from.
Uncle Mingshuang doesn't want to believe it and has been avoiding her recently.
She couldn't alert the enemy.
The people in the woods were all focused on each other and didn't notice that a small figure was sneaking up among the bushes at night.
The little figure crouched down, used his hands to push aside the bushes, poked his head out, and looked at the man and woman under the tree with his dark and bright eyes.
Under the moonlight, Ji Mingshuang was wearing a white robe, and the wind blew through the corners of his clothes, making rustling sounds.
Opposite him stood a woman with a graceful figure. She wore a well-tailored dress, a sword at her waist, and her long hair was tied with a dark red ribbon.
Yun Xiaoan's eyes lit up.
She knew that person, it was Aunt Wanxiang!
Wanxiang had long since left Ji Yunxi's service, for the same reason Xuezhu had left. Three years earlier, she had gone to the Ministry of Justice as a detective, working under Ji Mingshuang.
Yun Xiaoan's gaze fell on the two men's clasped hands.
She tilted her head and blinked.
She caught Mingshuang's uncle doing something bad!
Just a while ago, her father, the Crown Prince's father, Uncle Weining, and Uncle Mingshuang were drinking tea together, and she was there too.
The Crown Prince's father once asked Uncle Mingshuang if he had a woman he liked.
Uncle Mingshuang said no!
The Crown Prince's father wanted to help arrange a marriage, but his uncle Mingshuang said that he was busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Justice and had no energy to spend on love.
But now, Uncle Mingshuang is hiding from her and secretly holding hands with Aunt Wanxiang!
Just like her parents hiding from her and kissing her.
There were also palace maids and guards secretly hanging out together in the palace. Yun Xiaoan once brought the prince and Lin Congchong to watch them making out.
The three of them agreed that it was more interesting to see crickets fighting each other.
