No matter the cost, it's good to be alive.
Only by living is it possible.
Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao also called Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao to discuss the matter. The group felt that the biggest clue at present was Song Huier and the Nanli Prince's Mansion.
The group quickly divided up the tasks:
Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao were tasked with guarding the Nanli Prince's Mansion.
Meanwhile, Shang Xiye continued to keep a close watch on Song Huier.
When the group emerged from the secret room, it was already broad daylight outside.
Since they were going to take action soon, Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao decided to go with Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao to Hui Nuan Pavilion for breakfast.
While the three maids were setting out the bowls and chopsticks for everyone, Ji Fengming said regretfully to Ji Fengyao, "Sister, judging from the situation, you won't be able to celebrate your birthday properly this year. Mother also said that she wanted to bring Fengxiao and Fenghua to the capital to celebrate your birthday. I think we should send someone to intercept them on horseback and make them return to Vulture Village."
“Feng Xiao and Feng Hua are still young, so it’s really not appropriate for them to come to the capital at this time. If we want our family to be reunited, we’ll have to wait a while longer,” Ji Fengyao said, shaking her head helplessly.
Upon hearing this, Shang Xiye paused for a moment before saying, "Once we have investigated the Empress Dowager's background and learned about my mother's past and whereabouts, we will leave the capital for Cangzhou. At that time, our family will be reunited."
"Is this really true?" Although Ji Fengyao had long guessed that Shang Xiye might have this plan, she was still delighted to hear him say it himself.
Shang Xiye nodded firmly: "Yes!"
Black Owl looked up at Shang Xiye in surprise: This blockhead has finally figured it out!
“That’s great. This capital city is no place for humans to live.” Ji Fengming gulped down a bowl of porridge, patted Hei Xiao on the shoulder and said, “I’ve heard that Cangzhou is a dangerous place with many wild animals. When the time comes, I’ll take you hunting. After we catch some game, we can have hot pot or roast meat right there. Just thinking about that kind of life is wonderful.”
Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao looked at Ji Fengming with strange expressions.
Black Owl, however, seemed oblivious to anything amiss and gave a soft "hmm".
Seeing the two of them acting as if no one else was around, Ji Fengyao clicked her tongue, feeling a sudden sense of being "disfavored," and reminded them, "Brother, did you forget to bring me?"
"I'd like to take you with me, but with your brother-in-law's stingy temper, when have I ever won an argument with you?" Ji Fengming got angry just talking about this. She glared at Shang Xiye a few times, hooked her elbow around Hei Xiao, and said in a huff, "She's my own sister. If I can't spoil her, I'll find someone else to spoil her. I'll spoil Xiao Chen, okay?"
"puff!"
Upon hearing this, Wuying and Wuhen, who were drinking porridge at the next table, spectacularly spat it out.
Prince Anping's mouth is really...
Two grown men, he wasn't afraid of what others would say!
Moreover, Xiao Chen is clearly older than him. If they really dote on each other, who will spoil whom?
Shang Xiye: "..."
Your sister is still my wife, why would you spoil me?
Hei Xiao casually pulled Ji Fengming's hand off his shoulder, then poured him another bowl of porridge and pushed it in front of him: "Stop fooling around, finish eating and get down to business."
"Alright, for the sake of Brother Wu Zhong, I'll argue with you, brother-in-law, next time." Ji Fengming took the bowl, added food to his own bowl, and also put several large mouthfuls of food on Hei Xiao's plate before slurping the food down his throat.
Seeing this, Lin Shuang, who was serving nearby, felt a pang of envy for Ji Fengming.
If one day she could get as close to Hei Xiao as Ji Fengming did, and receive even a little bit of response from him, she would be completely satisfied.
