CH 2.2

Ji Mingxi: “I have heard about it too. Wu Guanshan, the eldest son of the Wu family, has both civil and military skills. At a young age, he is already highly respected by the people in Quan state, and his name is even more prestigious than his father.”

Seventh Ji took a sip of tea and commented: “Verses, ditties, odes and songs are a bit worse than mine but his martial arts can be tied with me. He looks pretty good, but of course he is far behind me. He has a good character and is a person who will dote on people in the future.”

After hearing this, Ji Yunxi hummed and said: “Let’s look at it first then.”

When Ji Mingxi heard this, he also thought it was quite good, so he chatted with his seventh younger brother about this Wu Guanshan’s situation in detail.

Ji Yunxi is not a talkative person.

She sat and listened, occasionally distracted.

After a while, Ji Yunxi whispered: “I miss our parents a little bit.”

As soon as this remark came out, the two elder brothers’ conversation paused.

There was no sound in the study, and it was very quiet.

The two elders of the Ji family died in a flood seven years ago.

When the incident happened, the children of the Ji family were in extreme grief.

But natural and man-made disasters can not be stopped by manpower.

How many people died in that flood?

For those who are still alive, the days are always going to pass.

But what if it’s not a pure natural disaster?

Since spending the past few days at Fa’en Temple and having more of the plots in the book entering her mind for no reason, Ji Yunxi has studied those plots over and over again for so many times.

There was no mention of the cause of her parents’ death in the book.

In the whole book, the Ji family is just the starting point… of the fuse that detonates the dispute between the Fifth Prince and the Crown Prince.

The extreme cannon fodder that can’t be more greyed and there’s no need to explain the details at all.

But Ji Yunxi’s intuition is, this matter may not be so simple.

Ji Mingxi sighed lightly, got up, walked over and patted her on the shoulder: “Yun Niang, if you are living your life happily, only then will our parents be at ease.”

“I know.” Ji Yunxi took out a piece of paper from her side and handed it to her eldest brother.

Ji Mingxi took over: “This is?”

“Oh, this is the list I asked Wan Xiang them to sort out. The cloth, silk, saber and sword, seasonal fruits and vegetables, snacks and pastries that I had sent to Yang Weitian in these three years, I have converted them all into silver.” Ji Yunxi gently turned the pearl inlaid gold jade bracelet on her wrist. The bright red tourmaline shimmered slightly, setting off Ji Yunxi’s skin into a smooth, soft and glossy skin. “I have to trouble Eldest Brother to hand it to the head of the Ministry of Rites, Yang Shilang, after you leave court tomorrow and ask them to send me the silver within three days.”

This Yang Shilang is Yang Weitian’s father.

Ji Mingxi was speechless for a moment and then read ten lines at a glance.

The two elders of the Ji family, when they were young, had the most gorgeous look in the entire Dayu. So these children they gave birth to, all of them are also unique in appearance.

Although Ji Mingxi is not as attractive as Ji Yunxi and Seventh Ji, his facial features are also uncommon.

Coupled with his gentle and compassionate nature, his face is like a crown of jade, like a Buddha.

“The Yang family has never been wealthy. Once they give this money out, I am afraid they will only have a harder life.” Ji Mingxi said.

Ji Yunxi remained unmoved: “Those things are for my future husband. Since the Yang family is no longer the family of my future husband, isn’t it reasonable to return them to the original owner?”

What a joke. Since the project has come to a premature end, even if it was eaten, of course they have to vomit it out and give it back to her.

Did they take her as a person who helps the poor and does good deeds?
