Speaking of this, Poison Lady's eyes became even more vicious: "I quit, I really quit, I can't do this anymore!"
After saying that, she stood up, picked up an axe and rushed out.
Ji Mingyan thought she was going to harm his brother-in-law, so he followed her, but found out that Poison Lady had gone to chop firewood.
She was very strong and the sound of chopping wood never stopped. Wood chips flew all over the sky, and snow bamboos also flew all over the sky.
Ji Mingyan was watching from the side, and he exclaimed: "Ah Du Jie, not only are you good at using poison, you're also good at chopping wood."
Poison Lady loves being admired the most: "Of course, sister, I know everything! I chop more wood than you eat."
Ji Mingyan watched for a while, and soon Poison Lady chopped out a pile of firewood.
She moved things back and forth in a hurry several times, and Ji Mingyan followed her several times.
Of course, he didn't help move, and Poison Lady didn't let him move either.
Ji Mingyan thought for a moment and asked, "Sister Du, you said you have four servants?"
Poison Lady was filled with rage: "Yes, there are only four! What a heartless master." As she spoke, she looked towards Wu Weian's room again, her eyes looking as if she wanted to stare a hole in the door.
Ji Mingyan followed behind the Poison Lady who was carrying a bundle of firewood: "But why have I only seen three of them? You, Xuezhu, and the steward."
The Poison Lady threw the firewood aside with a snap and clapped her hands, "Because he's too lazy to see people! He's the laziest one! Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get! I won't cook tonight! I want to rest! I want to go drink wine! I want to see men!"
Ji Mingyan blinked his eyes: "Sister Du, don't you make poison?"
Poison Lady exclaimed in shock: "Poison, poison, poison! All you know is poison! Can't you just give me a break?!"
But having said that, Madam Du still lit a fire and quickly fried a few simple dishes to prepare dinner for the family.
Then he took out the small pot specially used for making poison, replaced it with the cooking pot, and began to happily research new poison in the kitchen with Ji Mingyan.
When Ji Yunxi arrived, she heard the two of them chattering excitedly.
She glanced towards the kitchen, shook her head, and without knocking, pushed open the door of Wu Weian's room and walked in.
It was already evening when the Spring Examination ended. It was already dark and the room was pitch black.
She left the maids in the carriage and did not follow her in.
Ji Yunxi stood very close to the door. She had no intention of groping her way forward, but turned around and wanted to go out to find someone to light a lamp.
Finally, a sound came from the bed, and in the dim light, a dark shadow stood up and walked to the table leisurely.
After a while, the candles were lit and the room became bright.
Ji Yunxi narrowed her eyes subconsciously and waited until she adjusted herself before looking.
In front of the candlelight, Wu Weian stood there with a calm expression, like a pine or bamboo.
Ji Yunxi looked at him: "Are you awake?"
Wu Weian hummed softly, rubbed his eyebrows, and his slightly pale face showed a bit of fatigue.
These days, he really put in a lot of effort, studying for two hours in one hour.
Coupled with the three days of sleepless examinations, Wu Weian was indeed tired.
He asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Ji Yunxi walked towards her beauty bed: "I heard that you fainted, I came to see you."
Wu Wei'an chuckled and walked towards the table beside the beauty's couch: "You really are disappointing."
Ji Yunxi leaned back on the beauty couch and looked at him with raised eyebrows: "?"
He reached out, poured two glasses of boiled water, and handed one to Ji Yunxi: "I thought you would wait for me outside."
Ji Yunxi took it and took a sip of water: "I just happened to be going to the suburbs to check on the fields. Besides, didn't you let me rest assured?"
Wu Weian was standing next to the beauty bed, his slender white fingers lightly grasping an ordinary teacup, and he spoke slowly: "Rest assured and caring are two different things."
Ji Yunxi's gaze subconsciously fell on his hand: "I'm here to see you now, just the same."
Wu Weian shook his head and sighed softly, his tone sounding somewhat sad: "Forget it."
Ji Yunxi shrugged and didn't take his words to heart at all.
With the other party's acting skills, who knows which ones are true and which ones are false?
Only gold and silver are real.
Ji Yunxi looked up and reminded: "The results will be announced in March, you have to be prepared."
Wu Wei'an sat down beside her, seemingly not understanding what she meant: "Huh? I just need to wait to get paid. What else do I need to prepare?"
Ji Yunxi knew he was feigning ignorance, and she didn't bother to play along, so she pointed it out directly: "The Feng family will take action. Once the Spring Examination results are announced, it will be a tough battle. With your brother and the Crown Prince, you will eventually be able to enter the Palace Examination. However, the Emperor may not be on our side. Even if your performance qualifies you for the first place, the Emperor may not grant it."
Wu Weian lowered his eyes: "So?"
Ji Yunxi adjusted the hem of her skirt and said softly, "So, it's time for you to use your people."
Wu Wei'an tilted his head to look at her and suddenly asked, "Is the emperor dissatisfied with the crown prince?"
But according to Wu Weian, the current emperor is quite satisfied with the prince and seems to value him very much.
At least the spies he arranged didn't notice anything wrong.
Ji Yunxi didn't hide it from him: "Yes."
Wu Weian frowned slightly and drank the water in the cup in sips.
After a while, he chuckled: "No wonder you are so anxious to get me to join you."
Ji Yunxi didn't deny it: "You have to make sure everything is safe."
Wu Wei'an played with the empty cup in his hand, his eyes fixed on the candle in front of him: "Do you trust me so much?"
How is the current emperor ranked in the palace examination? Can he interfere if he wants to?
There are risks in many things.
Before going to the gambling house to spend 150 million, Ji Yunxi had thought a lot.
The first place is chosen by the emperor himself. Even if Wu Weian is indeed capable, what if the emperor gives him the fourth place?
