If he told it out, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of his Feng family?
The Feng family has always been very concerned about their reputation and would never let anyone look down on them. Feng Wu was even more so. He forced a smile and said, "You two are too kind."
Ji Yunxi brought a lot of people with her, and the money in the gambling house was quickly taken away, leaving not a penny.
The accountant from the Ji Mansion came over and interrupted the conversation between the three people: "Miss, the total amount of silver and money here is less than 50,000 taels of gold."
In other words, even Ji Yunxi’s investment was not enough.
She raised her eyebrows slightly: "Fifth Young Master, this seems a bit unreasonable, doesn't it?"
Feng Wu glanced at the people outside watching the fun and felt extremely embarrassed. His face turned pale, and he said with all his might, "Gambling houses generally don't keep too much cash."
Wu Wei'an said "oh" and asked curiously, "Where are they?"
Feng Wu clenched his fist and said, "In my warehouse."
Ji Yunxi nodded: "Then please trouble the Fifth Young Master's men to lead the way. I will ask the servants in the mansion to get it."
Feng Wu didn't dare to respond.
The money in the Feng family's warehouse is not something he can decide.
Moreover, Feng Wu knew very well that even if he took out all the money in the warehouse, it would still be far from enough.
Feng Wu said, "I have to ask my father for instructions."
Ji Yunxi was quite understanding: "If that's the case, then it will be troublesome."
Wu Wei'an asked, "Brother Feng, when will the money be collected? To be honest, this money was spent by Yunniang. As a man, I can't let a woman spend so much on me. Only when the money is returned to Yunniang can I feel at ease. I hope Brother Feng can understand my anxiety."
Feng Wu couldn't laugh anymore: "I'll do it as soon as possible."
Ji Yunxi didn't expect to get the money back today.
After all, it would take time for her to collect so much cash, let alone others?
Of course, Ji Yunxi guessed that the Feng family might not be able to collect them all. But that didn't matter, Ji Yunxi hadn't thought about collecting them all.
She said, "Three days then. After three days I will have the guards go to the Feng Mansion to get the money. I'm sorry to bother you, young master."
After saying that, Ji Yunxi and Wu Weian left the place.
In the carriage, Wu Wei'an said, "First, give me 20,000 taels of gold."
Ji Yunxi looked at him puzzledly: "Why?"
Wu Wei'an raised his eyebrows: "Yunniang, have you forgotten that you said that after this is done, we will each take half."
This time she took more than 40,000 taels of gold, and he only wanted 20,000, which was already a big concession.
Ji Yunxi put down the teacup in her hand: "What I said is that the winnings will be divided equally between us. And I haven't recovered my investment yet."
Wu Wei'an: “???”

As soon as the morning court session ended the next day, Feng Qishi went to find the prince and Ji Mingxi.
"Your Highness, Lord Ji." Feng Qishi smiled bitterly, "I really have no other choice but to come and beg you two with such shamelessness."
The Crown Prince was always a worried man, and since Feng Qishi was his man, he wouldn't just ignore him. Upon hearing this, he asked, "What happened? Tell me."
Feng Qishi glanced at Ji Mingxi, who lowered his head, and told the Crown Prince about the gambling house incident. "My Fifth and Master Ji's younger sister are both young and naive, which is why they caused such a mess. Your Highness, you may not know that although the gambling house is our family business, the housekeeper is in charge of all the day-to-day affairs. My family was unaware that Master Ji's younger sister had come to place a bet. If we had known, we would never have agreed to do this business. After all, the money involved is not small, and we cannot let these children do whatever they want."
The prince frowned and said, "I know everything about this. Don't you Feng family know about it?"
Feng Qishi: “…”
The prince recalled: "At that time, the whole capital was in an uproar. I even advised Mingxi to go back and have a good talk with Yunxi. Don't squander like this in the future."
Feng Qishi said hurriedly, "Yes, that's what I meant. I will return the money that the Third Lady gave me, and we will pretend that this matter never happened. Master Ji, what do you think?"
Ji Mingxi then raised his head and said, "Master Feng, I can't make the decision on this matter. Yunniang has always been very opinionated and doesn't listen to me."
At the end of his speech, Ji Mingxi sighed deeply, feeling helpless.
Feng Qishi: “…”
The Crown Prince also sighed, "I have watched Yun Xi grow up, and I understand her personality. Lord Feng, you should accept the consequences of your bet and give Yun Xi what she deserves. After all, what has been done is done. Since your family runs a gambling house, you should understand the meaning of accepting the consequences of your bet."
At this point, the prince’s path is blocked.
This is also why, although the Feng family is on the prince's side, they have always been unwilling to be under the prince and want their daughter to enter the palace as a concubine and give birth to a prince.
Because between the Ji family and others, the prince will definitely choose the Ji family.
Feng Qishi hurried back to the Feng Mansion and took his wife to the room to talk for a long time.
The next day, Feng Qishi's wife went to the palace to see her daughter.
Feng Si is now in the limelight in the harem. His Majesty has called her up for three consecutive days, and her favor is unmatched in all the palaces.
Not long after meeting her mother, Concubine Feng went to the imperial study to deliver chicken soup.
Before entering the palace, Concubine Feng was actually still afraid. After all, the current emperor was about the same age as her father.
But when she went to the emperor's bedchamber that day and saw him for the first time, Concubine Feng no longer thought so.
Although the emperor is a little old, he is still very elegant and gentle. He is not arrogant in private and treats her very well.
Therefore, Concubine Feng became arrogant because of her favor, and acted like a spoiled child in the imperial study, asking the emperor to find a way to resolve the matter of Ji Yunxi.
Concubine Feng had a reason to do this. She had met all the concubines in the harem these days.
She felt that no one was prettier than her.
The chief eunuch who had been with the emperor for many years slowly left the imperial study and closed the door properly.
He thought, no matter how good the appearance is, without the substance, you will get tired of it after two days.
