Ji Changying guessed that this was the reason why he came to the house at this time.
She didn't even bother to be polite with Kou Yunyi, but took him directly to her room: "That's it!"
When Kou Yunyi saw the flower, his eyes lit up instantly. He circled around it a few times before muttering, "It's really beautiful. This... This must be a treasure, right? I've never seen a flower that looks like this before."
Ji Changying smiled: "How does it compare to Zhang Leyao's?"
"Of course that's much better than her!"
Kou Yunyi answered without hesitation.
Seeing this, Ji Changying nodded and said, "Then you can use it to offset it."
After seeing the real thing, Kou Yunyi became a little hesitant.
In the letter Ji Changying wrote to her, she mentioned that she had a pot of rare wild flowers, and maybe she could return it to Zhang Leyao.
But she didn't expect that the wild flowers that Ji Changying mentioned would look like this.
"I'm not going to lie between us. I came here because I was really anxious. My mother and I found many kinds of flowers for Zhang Leyao, but she said they were all unacceptable."
"I asked, and they're not as valuable as pine, bamboo, and plum, so naturally I have nothing to say."
"But, your flower... your flower doesn't look like a wildflower to me at all, and the way it's trimmed is very artistic. I think its value may far exceed her pine, bamboo, and plum tree. It's a pity to just give it to me like this."
Kou Yunyi felt a little reluctant to let such beautiful flowers be ruined by Zhang Leyao.
"But if you don't give it to her, it will definitely never end. I really found this flower in the mountains. It's a wild flower. No matter how valuable it is, it will find someone who can appreciate it. Don't feel sorry for it. The artistic conception is just something I created by trimming it."
Kou Yunyi's eyes widened after hearing this: "Did you trim this?"
Ji Changying was puzzled: "What else?"
Kou Yunyi rushed forward and hugged her: "Oh my God! I have made a great friend! Your hands can turn decay into magic! How many people in Kyoto would be vying for this!"
Ji Changying disagreed: "I don't rely on this to make a living, it doesn't matter."
"You really deserve a beating for saying that!"
"Well, you've come at the perfect time. I was planning to cook for you myself tonight. You're in for a treat."
Kou Yunyi's face was full of surprise: "Really?"
Ji Changying rolled her eyes at her. Could this be fake?
After Ji Mingxuan came back, he brought bad news to the whole family. He chased all the way to Liangzhou and asked people he knew in the city. He also went to the government office and rushed back without stopping, but he still couldn't find Ji Mingxue.
Mrs. Hu lost all mood for a moment. After forcing a smile and asking Ji Changying to entertain the guests, she returned to her room feeling sad.
Her heart felt like it was being fryed in oil.
I suddenly regretted that I was too strong and unreasonable, which scared the child into running away from home.
After a while, he secretly made up his mind that when he found the person and came back, he would beat him up severely and lock him up for three days and three nights.
Then he started to worry about whether Ji Mingxue had met with an accident. Otherwise, how could he not find any clues after chasing for so long?
She was at a loss, as if all her energy and spirit had been drained away.
Ji Fengyi felt uncomfortable seeing her like this, but he couldn't get lost in his emotions.
"Your uncle hasn't heard any news about him in the city, so there are only two possibilities."
"Either he had an accident on the way, or... he had already expected that we would look for him, so from the moment he planned to run away from home, he had been preparing for that day."
Ji Mingxuan hadn't even sat down to catch his breath since returning. Upon hearing his father's words, he responded without hesitation, "I think it's the latter. Mingxue may be a muddleheaded person, but he's still smart enough to guess that we'd come looking for him."
Ji Minghao glanced at his brother and father and said, "Perhaps, while the family was trying to find out the news, he was hiding in a corner and watching."
They both turned to look at him instantly.
Ji Minghao gritted his teeth: "Before my second brother left, he secretly took some green walnut juice from my aunt and went to the village to buy some tattered clothes."
Ji Mingxuan looked at his third brother who was always silent at home, and felt that he had never seen through his two younger brothers.
Ji Fengyi's expression turned cold. "There's no need to look for him deliberately in the future. If he wants to contact us, he'll naturally contact us. If he can't make it, he'll naturally come back. If anything really happens...it's his own fault!"
Ji Fengshou's face showed some reluctance: "What if we met some bad guys... It's hard to say. I've become quite familiar with the people at the city gate recently. I'll ask someone to help keep an eye on them."
No matter how cruel Ji Fengyi's words were, this was still his son after all, and he had no intention of objecting to what Ji Fengshou said.
Ji Changying brought a bowl of hot tea to Mrs. Hu's room. Seeing her red eyes and sympathetic expression, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In the evening, she took on the responsibility of cooking, and Kou Yunyi brought an old maid to help her.
"Rest, you're not needed here. I've been busy at home lately, so please forgive me for not being able to entertain you well."
Kou Yunyi didn't care at all: "What's the big deal? When I met your eldest brother, I heard that your second brother ran away from home. Just let your aunt have a good rest. To be honest, I feel more comfortable without the elders here."
When she said the second half of the sentence, she lowered her voice mysteriously and leaned close to Ji Changying's ear.
Ji Changying hooked her chin with her hand and said, "My beauty is so considerate and kind-hearted. You are worthy of being the one I have been thinking about day and night."
Kou Yunyi's face flushed red after hearing what she said. She pushed her away and ran out: "You filthy scoundrel!"
