CH 34.5

Ji Yunxi brought a lot of people. The money in the gambling house was soon emptied out and there was nothing left anymore.

The accountant from Ji Mansion came over and interrupted the conversation between the three people: “Reporting toThird Miss, all the money here adds up to less than fifty thousand taels of gold.”

In other words, it isn’t even enough to pay for Ji Yunxi’s capital.

She slightly raised her eyebrows: “Fifth Young Master, it seems that this is a little unreasonable?”

Fifth Feng glanced at the people watching the excitement outside and felt extremely ashamed. His face was ashen, and he insisted: “Usually, we won’t put too much cash in the gambling house.”

Wu Wei’an made an oh sound, and asked curiously: “Then, where do you put it?”

Fifth Feng clenched his fist: “In my family’s storehouse.”

Ji Yunxi nodded: “Then I will ask the Fifth Young Master’s people to lead the way, and I will let my Mansion’s servants go fetch it.”

Fifth Feng didn’t dare answer this.

The money in the Feng family’s storehouse is not something he can call the shots of.

And Fifth Feng knew very well that even if he took out all the money in the storehouse, it would not be enough.

Fifth Feng said: “I have to ask my father for instructions first.”

Ji Yunxi said quite understandingly: “If this is the case, then I will have to trouble Fifth Young Master.”

Wu Wei’an asked again: “Brother Feng, when can it be gathered together then? I’m ashamed to say that the money spent was actually Yun Niang’s. As a man, I can’t let a woman spend so much on me. Only when the money returns to Yun Niang’s handscan I be at ease. I hope Brother Feng can understand my anxiety.”

Fifth Feng could no longer force a smile out: “I will do it as soon as possible.”

Ji Actually, Yunxi also didn’t expect to get the money back today.

After all, it takes time for her to collect so much cash, not to mention other people?

Of course, Ji Yunxi guessed that the Feng family might not be able to gather it. But it doesn’t matter. Ji Yunxi didn’t mean to collect them all in one go anyway.

She dropped a sentence: “Let’s make it in three days then. After three days, I will let the guards in the mansion go to Feng’s house to get the money. This matter, I will have to trouble Fifth Young Master then.”

After saying so, Ji Yunxi and Wu Wei’an left the place.

On the carriage, Wu Wei’an said: “Give me twenty thousand taels of gold first.”

Ji Yunxi looked at him inexplicably: “Why?”

Wu Wei’an raised his eyebrows: “Did Yun Niang forget you once said that when everything is done, we will each get half of it.”

This time she got more than forty thousand taels of gold, but he only wanted twenty thousand, which was already a big concession.

Ji Yunxi put down the tea cup in her hand. “What I said was we will each get half of the money won. Moreover, I haven’t recovered the cost yet.”

Wu Wei’an: “???”

The next day, just after the morning court, Feng Qishi immediately went to find the Crown Prince and Ji Mingxi.

“Your Highness and Master Ji.” Feng Qishi smiled bitterly. “I really have no choice but to beg you with this old face of mine.”

The Crown Prince has always been a very worried person, and Feng Qishi is his person too. So the Crown Prince will not ignore it. Hearing the words, he said: “What happened? Tell me.”

Feng Qishi looked at Ji Mingxi whose head was lowered down, and then told the Crown Prince about the matter of the gambling house: “My fifth son and Eldest Master Ji’s younger sister are both young and they are not very sensible yet, so that’s why this kind of thing happened. Your Highness doesn’t know that although the gambling house is the business of this minister’s family, the daily affairs are handled by the manager. When Eldest Master Ji’s younger sister came to bet, this minister and the whole family did not know about it. If we knew, we wouldn’t agree to do this business no matter how. After all, that amount of money is not a small number. How can it be given to the children to fool around?”

The Crown Prince frowned: “Even I, know about this matter. But your Feng family didn’t know about it?”

Feng Qishi: “…”

The Crown Prince recalled: “At that time, even the whole capital was full of uproar about this matter. I also persuaded Mingxi to go back and have a good talk with Yunxi so that she won’t spend so much again in the future.”
