Chapter 204: CH 46.2

The smile in Wu Wei’an’s eyes disappeared instantly: “So you didn’t bring the horse back?”

Round-faced housekeeper: “Yes.”

Wu Wei’an closed his eyes and said: “My good housekeeper, everytime, you can only think of one step ahead at a time. Can’t you think a few more steps ahead?”

The round-faced housekeeper didn’t understand. He felt that he had done nothing wrong: “This little one doesn’t understand. Please explain it more clearly to this little one, Young Master.”

Wu Wei’an reprimanded coldly: “You just leave the horse there. What if someone else finds the horse? Will you pay those fifty taels out yourself? Can’t you just bring the horse back to the house secretly and hide it inside?” In this way, no one can find the horse, and he will never have to give the fifty taels out.

The round-faced housekeeper stretched his old face, thought that his Young Master actually opened his mouth just to blabber because of money, and said: “I really thought about it, Young Master. But this object, the horse, is too big. And now, there are still a lot of people everywhere in the street, so it’s hard to bring it back secretly.”

“That is indeed true.” Wu Wei’an rubbed his eyebrows. “By the way, is that horse still pulling the carriage?”

The round-faced housekeeper nodded.

Wu Wei’an said bitterly: “Then, why didn’t you unload the carriage? Although the horse can’t be brought back, you could still pull the carriage back, right?”

That carriage is much more expensive than the horse.

The round-faced housekeeper looked up at the sky.

He really hadn’t thought of this.

Moreover, he had to pull the carriage back? Is he a horse?

Wu Wei’an waved his hand and said: “Hurry up and have a look, and bring the carriage back to me.”

The round-faced housekeeper responded and disappeared in front of the window.

Wu Wei’an stood in front of the window, with one hand on his waist and shaking his head helplessly, hating that the other party can’t live up to his expectation.

Behind him, Ji Yunxi has been watching him for a while.

She was thinking that the round-faced housekeeper and Xuezhu had been following him all these years. What did they seek from him? Is it because of his stinginess, uh, or rather, frugality?

Wu Wei’an turned his head, met Ji Yunxi’s gaze, and curled his lips toward her: “By the way, Yun Niang, I have something to trouble you with.”

Ji Yunxi gently shook the list of supplies in her hand, feeling that this matter would not be what she wanted to hear.

She refused coldly: “I’m afraid I can’t help you.”

Wu Wei’an left the table, walked to the side and picked up the new clothes that he had destroyed. Then he said with a bright face and a soft tone: “It’s just a small matter.”

Ji Yunxi stared at the clothes hanging on his elbow, raised her eyebrows, and affirmed: “You want me to compensate you a piece of clothes?”

“Of course not.” Wu Wei’an raised his eyebrows with a look of ‘why do you think about me so’ and said again: “I just want your maid, who is good at embroidery, to help me mend it. None of my servants can mend clothes.”

Ji Yunxi didn’t know how to react for a while, and subconsciously agreed.

After the Fifth Brother came back, Ji Mingyan didn’t see his Fifth Brother much.

There is a formation in his Fifth Brother’s yard, and he can’t get in.

But today, Ji Mingyan did the math and felt that his Fifth Brother had probably run out of food reserves, so he kept guarding in the kitchen, and as expected, Ji Mingyuan indeed come here.

Ji Mingyuan has two large bags hanging on the left and the right. The bags look ordinary, but they are made of superior snakeskin materials. No matter how heavily stuffed they are, they will not break.

Ji Mingyuan quickly packed rice, noodles, vegetables and meat in the kitchen into the bag as quickly as possible.

He has a small kitchen in his yard. He cooks simply by himself.

It’s because no one could enter his yard, and naturally no servant could deliver food to him. Ji Mingyuan could only come to the family’s kitchen and loot the ingredients there every once in a while before he runs out of ammunition and food.

Ji Mingyan followed him, and while helping his Fifth Brother pack the bag, he told Ji Mingyuan that Ji Yunxi’s manager was taken away by the Ministry of Punishment.
