Wu Weian held the booklet, not knowing whether to throw it away or not.
He asked expressionlessly, "Have you seen it?"
Ji Yunxi nodded: "I have seen it."
Ji Yunxi was ready to lie down. Before she did so, she looked at the person standing in front of the table, thought for a moment, and said, "You can take a look at it too. It may be useful in the future."
Now, he still has the poison in his body, so he needs to get rid of it.
However, it is still necessary for him to understand the knowledge of gender as early as possible.
Wu Weian: “…”
The night is getting deeper.
Half of the candles in the room were extinguished, with only half still lit.
Under the candlelight, an elegant figure was outlined. Wu Weian was sitting at the table, replying to a letter.
Actually, there is no rush to reply to these letters.
He subconsciously glanced at the bed.
Ji Yunxi had already fallen asleep. She lay on her side with her back to him, and there was no movement.
His breathing sounded steady, so he must have fallen asleep.
Wu Weian withdrew his gaze and continued to reply to his letter.
After a while, there was a light knock on the door, and Wanxiang's voice rang out softly, "Miss, I have something important to report."
Wu Wei'an looked up and glanced at Ji Yunxi. She was motionless, her whole body tucked into the quilt, a small ball.
He seems to be a man of great power and authority during the day, but when he falls asleep, he is just a small ball.
He sighed softly, stood up and opened the door.
Wanxiang was slightly stunned when she saw Wu Weian.
Wu Wei'an noticed the anxiety on the maid's face and asked, "What's the matter?"
"This..." Wanxiang looked inside, a little hesitant.
Tonight is the young lady’s wedding night, and at this time, Wanxiang actually doesn’t want to disturb her.
But they didn't dare to act on their own, nor did they dare to wait until tomorrow to report. After all, her young lady always took such matters very seriously.
A few years ago, a granary on a farm in the suburbs accidentally caught fire. After the manager put out the fire, because it was already the middle of the night and Ji Yunxi had caught a cold in those days, they did not dare to disturb Ji Yunxi late at night, thinking of reporting it early the next morning.
As a result, when Ji Yunxi woke up the next day and learned about this, she got furious.
After this, those who worked under Ji Yunxi knew that if anything happened, they had to notify Ji Yunxi immediately.
No matter what time or occasion.
But things are different now. From now on, the young lady will not be the only one in her room.
Wanxiang looked at Wu Weian and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
Shouldn't she talk to the young lady directly about this?
It was not difficult to see through a maid's thoughts. Wu Weian said calmly, "Your young lady is asleep."
Wanxiang is different from Baofu. Having been with the young lady these days, she knows that Wu Weian is not an ordinary person.
So she didn't hesitate for long before saying, "Tonight someone broke into our gambling house, smashed our shop, injured many of us, and stole a lot of silver."
Wu Weian frowned, but before he could react, the person who was sleeping soundly on the bed suddenly sat up.
Ji Yunxi was sleepy and a little confused, but she seemed to hear someone smashing her shop?
Smash her store?!
Wu Weian: “…”
Half an hour later, Ji Yunxi, neatly dressed, arrived outside Dechang Casino.
Wu Weian was accompanying him.
At this time, there are not many people on the street.
But the lights in Dechang Casino were on and there was noise coming from them.
Fang Yuan saluted Ji Yunxi with a solemn expression: "Third Miss, I shouldn't have disturbed you and your uncle tonight, but something urgent happened——"
Ji Yunxi stretched out her hand to interrupt him: "You did the right thing. If something like this happens, you must tell me immediately. Let's go in and take a look."
Fang Yuan immediately led the two men inside, reporting as they walked: "Just an hour ago, masked men in black suddenly broke into the gambling house. They were holding hammers and smashed and robbed everything without a word. The shop assistants stepped forward to stop them, but those men in black were fat and strong, and our staff were no match for them."
The gambling house was in chaos, with tables, chairs, and chips scattered all over the floor. The shop assistants were bruised and battered, with some even having their hands and feet broken, unable to move. Even some customers were injured and sat there cursing and demanding compensation.
Ji Yunxi retracted her gaze: "Where's the doctor?"
Fang Yuan replied, "It's too late now. All the clinics are closed. I've already sent people to go door to door to fetch doctors. They should be here soon."
Ji Yunxi hummed and swept her eyes over these people. Her bright face was extremely cold, and there was frost in her dark eyes.
In what happened tonight, not only Dechang's gambling house was severely damaged, but the other seven houses were also robbed.
The capital city has always been safe, and few people dare to rob shops openly under the feet of the emperor.
Therefore, Ji Yunxi had only hired ordinary thugs to the gambling house. They were enough to deal with the troublemakers, but they were not enough to deal with the skilled gang members.
The timing of the robbery was also very good. Just now on her wedding night, the person behind it was deliberately trying to disgust her.
Ji Yunxi clenched her fists and took a deep breath. Her face remained expressionless as she gave clear instructions, "First, ask the doctor to treat everyone. We'll cover the medical expenses and any related compensation. We'll also compensate the customers for their losses. Remember to comfort them. Ultimately, it was our fault for not properly defending ourselves. Also, sort out the losses in the store as quickly as possible. I want to know exactly how much silver was stolen and how much was damaged."
Fang Yuan bowed and said, "Yes."
Ji Yunxi added, "Notify the other seven gambling houses as well."
Fang Yuan agreed and went to do his work in a hurry.
Wu Wei'an had been looking at Fang Yuan. When Fang Yuan left, he withdrew his gaze from him, glanced at the sky, and said to Ji Yunxi, "Let's go back. It's almost dawn."
