Ji Fengming gritted his teeth and frowned, insisting on making a "five" gesture.
Shang Xiye lowered her eyelids and silently withdrew one finger, turning three into two.
Ji Fengming snorted and transmitted his voice secretly, saying, "Three is fine. The remaining 20% will be left for Feng Yao to use for collecting medicinal herbs. If you don't agree, I will go to the Emperor and report you, saying that you, Ninth Prince, sent people to rob Lord Feng's manor in the middle of the night."
"Hmm," Shang Xiye responded softly, but not because she was threatened by Ji Fengming.
Ji Fengming lingered in Shang Xiye's car all the way to Prince Su's residence. After getting out of the car, he went straight to Hui Nuan Pavilion, familiar with the place.
When Ji Fengming arrived, Ji Fengyao was having breakfast, with a table full of exquisite side dishes and congee.
"Hey, little sister, you've always loved meat, why are you eating vegetarian food now?" Ji Fengming slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, "Is it because that brat Ninth Prince is mistreating you and not giving you any meat to eat!"
Ji Fengyao's lips twitched: "..."
Brother, you seem to be six years younger than Ninth Prince!
“No, young master, Miss said that the gods said that it’s hot now, so eating a light diet is good for your health.” Xi Que explained honestly from the side, “The prince is so good to Miss now. Yesterday, he even argued with the Dowager Consort for Miss’s sake.”
"A concubine? Where did this concubine come from?" Ji Fengming asked Bai Lu for a bowl and chopsticks and began to eat.
The magpie chattered excitedly about how Consort Xiao had punished Ji Fengyao yesterday and even burned her hand.
Ji Fengming, holding the bowl, looked at Ji Fengyao's still slightly red palm and said angrily, "Considering that old woman is the Ninth Prince's mother, and the Ninth Prince contradicted her for you, I won't pursue this matter further this time. If anything like this happens again, Xique, send someone back to me immediately, and I'll tear that old woman's bones apart!"
After saying that, he took out a thick stack of silver notes from his pocket, slapped them on the table, and pushed them to Ji Fengyao: "Take these, little sister. Buy whatever you want. Don't ask that brat Ninth Prince for them, or people will think we bandits have no backbone."
Shang Xiye, who came in a few steps behind: "..."
If I had known, I wouldn't have tried to bargain with that unscrupulous brother-in-law. He even made things difficult for me behind my wife's back.
"Brother, I only spent fifty taels on those things you gave me last time," Ji Fengyao said, biting her chopsticks.
Yes, fifty taels were given as a reward to Princess Zhaoning.
"Money won't bite you, so take it all. If anyone dares to look down on you, little sister, just pelt them with silver notes until they're dead. After you're done, I'll give you more." Ji Fengming waved his hand, full of high spirits.
Ji Fengyao: "..."
Okay, her older brother is a bit silly, but he's also super cute, so she'll save this for him for now.
However, she had a gold seal and a large amount of silver notes in her hands, which were cumbersome to carry around, and she didn't feel comfortable leaving them elsewhere. It would be great if she had a storage ring that she could carry with her.
I wonder if Void Stones exist in this world. If they do, once she has tempered her body and can activate spiritual energy, she might be able to manage to create a few storage rings, though the space will be limited.
"Brother, have you ever seen a black stone like this?" Ji Fengyao asked blurtly.
"I've seen them. Many stones in the mountains are black." Ji Fengming completely missed the point in Ji Fengyao's words: "Why are you looking for stones? Can stones be used as medicine?"
Shang Xiye: "..." This silly and adorable brother-in-law.
"What are the characteristics of the black stone you're looking for?" Shang Xiye entered the room at the right moment and picked up where Ji Fengyao left off.
