In the princess's mansion, the atmosphere was warm but also a little awkward.
"Because my mother is seriously ill, we brought her with us to Beijing this time. We plan to find a doctor with better medical skills to see her. Sorry to bother you."
Xu Qi stood there explaining with a blushing face.
Originally, she and her brother Xu Yong had no such idea.
However, after Ji Mingxue knew that he was going to Beijing, he went to Xu's house every few days, and said that he was coming to Beijing with the prince, and all the food and drink expenses along the way were paid by Prince Ping's Mansion, which was very cost-effective.
When they arrived in the capital, they only needed to pay for the medical treatment. Xu's mother's illness could not be delayed any longer. If they missed the opportunity, they would never see the doctor again. The two of them were moved by the talk.
Only then did they shamelessly go to Beijing together.
Originally they were planning to stay in an inn, but unexpectedly Ji Mingxue had someone send them here.
Mrs. Hu took Xu Qi's hand and sat on a chair, smiling and saying, "What's the big deal? Your brother must have gone through a lot of trouble taking care of my kid. We're all from the same hometown here, so just stay! We're familiar with the capital, and we can help you find a doctor later."
Zhou also nodded: "That's right, my family has many houses, you can just live in them."
Xu Yong was deeply moved. "I knew that to raise such a good person like Brother Ji, the elders in my family must be kind-hearted! Auntie, just call me Dayong. If there's anything you need at home, just let me know! I don't have anything special, but I have a lot of strength!"
Ji Mingxuan looked at him with a smile: "Brother Xu, your body looks really strong. I guess he exercises a lot."
Xu Yong was so happy that he immediately rolled up his sleeves and flexed his muscles for Ji Mingxuan to see: "That's right! My tendons are all solid!"
Xu Qi blushed at his brother's action and quickly patted his arm: "Brother! Put it down!"
Xu Yong then realized that they were in someone else's house and lowered his arms awkwardly.
Gou Fugui ran over excitedly at this time: "The second master is back with the second young master!"
Ji Fengyi's face lit up with joy, but it quickly disappeared. He sat there with a very dignified look on his face, not moving.
Mrs. Hu could no longer control herself and stood up and walked to the door.
When he saw the much stronger figure behind Ji Fengshou from afar, his eyes turned red.
"Brother! Sister-in-law! Look who's back!"
Ji Fengshou's face was full of excitement and he trotted into the living room.
When Ji Mingxue saw Mrs. Hu, he ran over happily and said, "Mom!"
"Second brother!"
Mrs. Hu stepped forward, grabbed Ji Mingxue's arms, and pinched them while sobbing, "You've grown stronger! You look a lot stronger and more mature!"
Seeing her like this, Ji Mingxue felt very sad. He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Of course! How could your son treat himself badly when he went out?"
"Are you injured? Have you been wronged there? Is your life hard?"
Mrs. Hu pulled his collar and wanted to pull it open to take a look.
Ji Mingxue quickly put his hand out to block it: "Mom! I'm already this old, I'm fine! Nothing happened to me at all."
"Really?" Mrs. Hu was a little skeptical.
"Really!" Ji Mingxue patted his face: "I've gained some weight!"
Hu murmured, "That's good..."
Then his expression changed, and he quickly grabbed Ji Mingxue's ear and pulled him inside.
"mother?!"
Ji Mingxue was stunned for a moment. He couldn't believe it and wanted to turn around to look at his mother.
But when Hu applied a little more force, Ji Mingxue gasped in pain: "It hurts, it hurts!!!"
Xu Yong and Xu Qi were stunned, their mouths slightly open, looking at Hu in surprise. The Hu who had been so dignified and distant just now had now turned into the aunt next door to them.
Ji Mingxue noticed the expressions of the two people and his face flushed: "Mom! Let's talk it over nicely. There are other people here! Give me some face..."
Ji Minghao swallowed his saliva, respectfully presented a handboard with both hands and said to Ji Fengyi: "I have brought what my father asked me to do."
Ji Mingxuan looked at Ji Mingxue and smiled happily: "It's what you deserve!"
Ji Fengshou's face was conflicted, but after looking at his elder brother's expression, he decided to wait and see.
"Wait! Let's talk it over nicely!"
As soon as Ji Mingxue saw the expression on Ji Fengyi's face and the handboard in his hand, he felt something was wrong.
"What are you talking about?! You're completely lawless. You even ran away from home! You're standing here taller than your father now. Now that you're independent, we can't control you anymore? It's so chaotic out there, and you just run away! Do you know how your parents lived? Ah!"
Mrs. Hu suddenly pulled Ji Mingxue's ear, becoming more and more annoyed as she spoke, and reached out to hit Ji Mingxue on the back.
Ji Fengyi waited until Hu had hammered him a few times before he spoke: "Let him go."
Mrs. Hu glared at Ji Mingxue fiercely, then let go of the hand that was pulling his ear.
Although Ji Mingxue is taller than his father now, he doesn't know why he feels short of breath when standing in front of Ji Fengyi. He rubs his ears and looks out for help quietly, but he never dares to look at his father.
But the elder brother who received his gaze had an expression of enjoying the show.
But his third brother gave him a look that said "May you be lucky". His uncle's eyes were vague and he didn't dare to look him in the eye.
Ji Mingxue was so angry that he just wanted to roll his eyes.
"Put your hands out!" Ji Fengyi looked at him like this, his tone calm, but with a sense of calmness that seemed to be about to come.
"Dad, I really know I was wrong. Let's talk it over..."
"Stretch out!"
Ji Mingxue shuddered and stretched out his hand.
“Bang!”
Ji Fengyi was unceremonious and raised his hand to slap him hard: "A mother worries about her son even when he is thousands of miles away! If you had been willing to discuss it with us properly, your mother might have agreed after some time. But you acted first and asked for your consent later, which is unfilial!"
“Bang!”
"You've tried so hard to avoid being found by us, but you don't know how worried we are about you back home! Your eldest brother rode day and night to Liangzhou City to look for you! And yet, you, after planning a plan with the third brother, watched helplessly as we searched for you like crazy, and you ran away!"
“Bang!”
"After things settled down, you didn't even send anyone home to tell anyone. You didn't tell your family until Ah Ying found you. You're so heartless!"
Ji Mingxue didn't know whether his hand hurt or he felt guilty. He stood there with his head down and red eyes.
The whole living room was silent. Ji Fengyi started to get serious. Even Zhou sat aside with her head lowered, not daring to say a word.
"I'm back!"
Ji Changying ran back happily and saw Xu Qi at a glance. She asked in surprise: "Sister Xu? Brother Xu?"
Xu Qi was looking at Ji Mingxue, hesitant to speak. He wanted to plead for mercy but felt that he had no right to do so.
The brother and sister stood there fidgeting.
When they saw her, their eyes lit up: "Sister Ji!"
Then he winked at her. Ji Changying turned around and saw the atmosphere in the living room. Her smile faltered. "What's going on?"
