Ji Mingxue still refused to accept the answer: "That shouldn't happen...at least not at this time."
After all, they had been dating for four years, and it had only been three days since the incident, so they could cancel the engagement just like that.
At least you should consider your brother's feelings, right?
Could it be that all these years of feelings were fake?
Ji Mingxuan said nothing more.
Ji Minghao looked at his second brother with a stern face: "Don't say these things in front of Big Brother anymore. It's better not to have that kind of woman!"
Many people around saw this and couldn't help but secretly look at Ji Mingxuan, feeling regretful in their hearts.
If it weren't for this incident, this child would definitely be an excellent candidate for a husband.
Ji Changying had just heard what her cousin said and looked at him with admiration.
The fact that he could put himself in other people's shoes and say those words shows that he is open-minded and not pedantic.
"Brother-in-law, your family is indeed a family of scholars. This nephew speaks so openly! It's a pity that I don't have a daughter, otherwise I would definitely want to get married to her. This child is really good!"
Zhou An patted Ji Fengshou's shoulder, looking a little envious.
Ji Fengshou straightened his body and said, "Of course! This is my eldest brother's eldest son. He has been given great attention in both his studies and upbringing since he was young."
“Assemble! Assemble!”
The officers struck the gongs and drums, and the crowd began to move.
Zhou Qian couldn't hold it in any longer, and tearfully urged Zhou: "You two must be well. You are a mother now, so you must take good care of Aying and Xiaochuan! Be sure to write to let me know when you arrive."
Zhou patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, mother! We are just moving. If you miss me, just come find me!"
Zhou An rubbed the siblings' heads reluctantly, but his tone towards Ji Fengshou was not so kind: "Take good care of Yue Niang and the children, otherwise... you know what will happen."
Ji Fengshou thought of his father-in-law's ancestral pig-killing skills and his four burly brothers-in-law. He immediately promised, "Don't worry, big brother. I'll write to you as soon as I get there!"
To show his determination, he picked up the bag and tried to carry it on his shoulders.
As a result, he used too much force and the bag swung around his neck and he sat down on the ground.
The brother-in-law frowned and reached out to pull him up with disgust.
"Mistake...mistake...haha." Ji Fengshou stood up awkwardly.
Without waiting for him to waste time, Zhou grabbed her husband and the bag and ran towards the exile team.
I watched as my mother-in-law and brother-in-law looked at me with disdain getting further and further away.
Ji Fengshou simply gave up on his image completely. His hands and feet hung down like noodles, and he calmly ran towards the crowd while being held under Zhou's armpit.
Never mind, it’s not the first time I’ve been embarrassed.

On the other side, at the county government office, the chief clerk took some old grain to see his superiors.
He discussed it with the Dianshi, and they decided to put all the blame on the deceased county magistrate and Zhang Chang.
The cause of death of the two was too strange. In order to avoid any bad rumors, the higher-ups were asked to come and investigate.
After the two men conspired to silence the yamen runner, they jointly announced to the public that the county magistrate had died of a sudden illness.
After hastily burying the county magistrate, they tied up Zhang Chang and rushed to the provincial capital.
In the end, he was beaten half to death and only managed to save his life by spending money.
As for the tax grain, it was just a drop in the bucket for the prefect. In order to avoid a bigger incident that would be reported to higher authorities, he paid it himself.
——
Life in prison was not easy, but I didn’t expect that it would be even more difficult when I embarked on the road of exile.
The autumn heat is at its peak, and the sun in the sky is unleashing its power without reservation.
Everyone was sweating profusely.
Aunt Li's high fever kept coming back and forth, and her sons took turns carrying her on their backs.
The daughter-in-law and grandson followed behind, with heavy expressions on their faces.
"Hurry up! We have to walk forty miles before we can rest today. We need to make up for the time lost this morning. Anyone who dares to delay the trip will be rude!"
Zhang Ziwei was in the front, his whip made a blank sound, and he stared fiercely at the people in the team.
Ji Changying lagged behind a little. He took out the wound medicine and two fever-reducing pills he had found in the county government office, unpacked them, and held them in his palm. He also took out a water bag.
When she got close to Ji Shilin, she quietly handed him the item: "This is the wound medicine I secretly hid. The white one is a fever reducer."
Ji Shilin didn't dare to delay and reached out to take it in a panic.
Holding the things in his hand, he choked out a sob and said, "Thank you."
No matter what medicine it is, as long as he can give it to his mother now, he wants to try it.
Ji Changying didn't say much. After handing over the medicine, she moved away.
Ji Shilin watched her walk away.
After struggling for only two seconds, I hardened my heart, took a few quick steps to ask my brother to slow down, and quickly stuffed the white pill I had never seen before into my mother's mouth, and then drank a sip of water.
There was no time for him to hesitate in this situation.
No matter what this medicine is like, you should give it a try.
Ji Changying didn't know how determined Ji Shilin was to feed her mother the medicine. She was still in good spirits at the moment.
A rough count revealed that there were more than two hundred members of the Ji clan who were exiled.
Except for those in Lotus Village, the rest should all have been exiled from Beijing.
There are quite a few people in Beijing, but the relationships among them don't seem very harmonious.
They were clearly divided into two groups, and they didn't even want to walk next to each other. Some people were glaring angrily at the family in front.
Ji Changying guessed that the family should be Lord Ji's family.
Then she looked away, it had nothing to do with her anyway.
Now the most important thing to her is her family.
"Uncle, let me carry you. I'm very strong!"
As soon as Ji Changying turned her gaze back, she saw Ji Fengyi carrying the corpses of his grandparents, sweating profusely and barely able to lift his feet.
Ji Fengyi observed that Ji Changying's complexion was normal and she was not trying to be stubborn.
He handed her the bag on his back and said, "If you feel tired, just tell me and I'll let your brothers carry it later."
"Okay." Ji Changying picked up the bag and threw it behind him, then walked forward with big strides.
The movement was so large that Ji Fengyi's eyebrows twitched twice.
It’s not that Ji Changying looked down on his three brothers. Those three were originally scholars and their health conditions were not much better than that of his uncle.
By now I was so tired that I was gasping for breath and felt dizzy.
"Wait... wait for me to catch my breath... I... I will carry it!" Ji Mingxue watched her walk past him and spoke quickly.
Ji Changying turned her head and looked at him, then suddenly reached out and picked him up, imitating Zhou's way of picking him up and walking away.
Ji Mingxue:!!
"Wait! What are you doing? Let me go!"
He is not his uncle, so he can't afford to lose face.
