Ji Hyotani didn't come to the capital for Yu Shu. As early as last year, he had planned to move his family's business to Li 'an City. Therefore, when he received the letter from Old Master Ji, he rushed to the capital with his family the next day.
Ji Hyotani hated and hated Yu Shu. That day in the court, when he recognized that the boy who sued the Ji family was Yu Shu, he didn't mention it to anyone in order to avoid being blamed by his parents and brothers. He held his breath and sent people to search for the siblings in Yiyang. Unexpectedly, they had already sneaked to the capital. No wonder he couldn't find them.
His father said that Yu Shu had learned one of Taoist Qing Zheng's unique skills, so he had to find her. Therefore, not only could he not do anything to the siblings for the time being, he had to be polite to them, which made him even angrier.
Aunt Cui returned to the Ji family's office in the capital. Ji Hyotani was waiting for her in the courtyard. Seeing that Aunt Cui didn't bring the siblings back, his face darkened. When he asked about the situation again, he immediately scolded her, "What do you mean by afraid that I will make things difficult for her and won't let her take the exam? Am I so narrow-minded in your eyes? Now it's father who wants them to come back. How do you want me to tell him? Should I tell him that the children are afraid that I will make things difficult for them, so they don't want to come back?! "
Aunt Cui was afraid that Ji Hyotani would lose his temper. She curled up into a ball and almost admitted her mistake. But when she thought that her daughter would become a Yi Master soon, she became more confident. She said timidly, "Yes, it's Yu Shu who said that. She said that she will come back after the exam. Master, why don't we wait a little longer? They just said that they will come back a few days later, it's not like they won't come back at all." "Nonsense!" Ji Hyotani roared and pointed at Aunt Cui's head. She was so scared that her shoulders trembled. She shrank her neck and stepped back. "What do you think our Ji family is? How can they come back whenever they want? I think you've eaten too much and your brain is cramped! "" Sob, sob, sob. "Aunt Cui cried after being scolded. She wiped her tears and dared not to talk back.
Ji Hyotani was in a rage. He didn't have the heart to show mercy to the fairer sex. He flung his sleeves and walked away. He had brought three concubines with him to settle down in the capital. Except for Aunt Cui, who he had to bring, the other two were especially spoiled. They lived with Aunt Cui in the small courtyard of the side room. When they heard Ji Hyotani's scolding, they stuck their heads out of the door and looked around. When he left, they ran to Aunt Cui's room one by one to see the joke.
Aunt Cui was mocked and ridiculed by them for half a day. Her heart was sour and bitter. She was afraid that they would scold Ji Hyotani in the middle of the night, so she didn't dare to talk back. But in her heart, she thought angrily, 'When this old woman's daughter becomes a teacher, you'll all have to bow your heads and apologize to me!'
Ji Xingxuan accompanied Ji Huaishan to drink tea in the warm room. She listened to the servant girl who followed Aunt Cui to find Yu Shu report the situation. Ji Xingxuan waved her hand to dismiss the servant girl. She said to Ji Huaishan, "It seems that she has her guard up, that's why she delayed coming back. It's a pity that Shifu Qing Zheng's [Six Lines Technique] was passed on to such a clumsy person. When I saw her face that day, I knew that she was mediocre. Even if she learned this technique, she wouldn't be able to use it. If she was smarter, she would know that treasuring a jade ring is a crime.
Ji Huaishan's eyes flashed. He said, "Whether she is willing to come back or not, the [Six Lines Technique] can only belong to our Ji family. It's not up to a little girl like her to decide. It's not something she should have.
Ji Xingxuan's eyes flickered. She asked, "What do you want?" Ji Huaishan's eyes flashed. "You just need to focus on preparing for the exam. Don't worry about this. Grandfather will plan everything for you."
Ji Xingxuan wanted to say something but stopped. She looked at Ji Huaishan's expression. In the end, she didn't ask any more questions. She said meekly, "Then grandson will return to my room. Tomorrow is the astrology exam. Grandfather, don't worry. I will definitely pass this exam." Not long after Ji Xingxuan returned to her room, Ji Hyotani came looking for her. He entered the tea room and bowed in greeting.
"Father."
"Rise."
Father and son rarely saw each other. Compared to grandfather and grandson, they seemed a little distant.
"Father, this morning, your son sent that lowly concubine to find …"
"I already know," Ji Huaishan interrupted, sweeping his gaze over him. "You do have some strange abilities. None of your sons and daughters are capable, yet you let an outsider obtain good fortune in our Ji family." Ji Huaishan's eyes swept over Ji Huaishan.
Ji Hyotani said shamefully, "Father, you are right. Don't worry. I will definitely bring that girl back home and make her hand over that strange technique." "Bring back? How are you going to bring her back? Are you going to send someone to kidnap her? Hmph. "
Ji Huaishan said angrily, "Put away your dirty tricks. This is Anling City, not Yiyang City. Our Ji family can do whatever they want. If you make a mess, no one will clean it up for you. Besides, I don't know how that girl managed to hook up with the eldest young master of the Xue family. If something really happens, I can't guarantee that he'll stand up for her. "Ji Xiaogu's expression changed slightly." Father, are you saying that we can't do anything to that little girl? " Ji Huaishan leaned back in his chair. He thought for a while and said coldly, "I have many ways to deal with her. She is a traitor. She raised us but in the end, she helped outsiders to slander our Ji family. She bears a grudge against our Ji family. This kind of evil cannot be left alive."
Ji Huaishan's fingers knocked heavily on the armrest. Ji Hyotani raised his head in shock, "You know … So he only knows that the girl went to complain about the Ji family?"
"Do you think that I know nothing about Yiyang City just because I am far away in Anling? I may be old, but I'm not deaf or blind. It's best if you put away your petty thoughts as soon as possible. Since you're a merchant, you should know your place and do your business. In the future, the Ji Family's master can only be your eldest brother. The one who can bring glory to the Ji Family can only be Xingxuan! "Ji Xiaogu said in a low voice.
Ji Hyotani panicked. He lowered his head and said, "I know. I don't dare to think too much." "Go and do your work."
"Yes, I will take my leave."
After Aunt Cui left, Jing Chen came out of the room and looked at the closed door. He asked Yu Shu, "Was that your mother?"
He had heard Concubine Cui's voice when she entered the room. He had thought that Yu Shu and her brother were dependent on each other, but he didn't think that their mother was still alive.
Yu Shu did not hide this from him and explained, "My brother and I lost our father when we were young. Our mother went to a rich family to be a concubine. Because I angered my stepfather, I was chased out of the house. That was why I came to the capital. That was our birth mother."
This was the first time Jing Chen heard Yu Shu talk about her past. He did not expect it to be like this. He asked with concern, "Then why did she come today?"
Yu Xiaoxiu pouted, "She came to ask us to go home."
Jing Chen was surprised, "Go home? You are going back?"
"No." Yu Shu reached out and patted Yu Xiaoxiu's shoulder. She smiled at Jing Chen, "We are not going back. That place is not our home. Our surname is Yu, and their surname is Ji. We are not a family.
Hearing this, Jing Chen's expression relaxed. Just now, when he heard that they were going to leave, he thought about where he should go. As a result, he found that he had nowhere to go.
Yu Shu did not know Jing Chen's thoughts. She looked up at the sun and suddenly patted her forehead, urging Yu Xiaoxiu to hurry up!
Xiu said, "Hurry up, pack up and we'll leave. Look at the time, Aunt Huei must be waiting anxiously." He said that he was going to see Zhao Hui today, but Aunt Cui suddenly came looking for him. Yu Shu and the Yu family.
Xiu went out late. It was almost noon when he arrived at Pei Jing's residence.
Zhao Hui had been waiting for them since early in the morning. She waited for the whole morning and didn't see their shadow. If it wasn't for Doctor He stopping her, she would have gone to Huixing Street to look for them.
Yesterday, she didn't see Yu Xiaoxiu. Today, she saw him. Zhao Hui held the child in her arms for a long time, just like yesterday when she saw Yu Shu. She thanked the heavens and shed a few drops of tears.
Pei Jing went out to work during the day and wasn't at home. Zhao Hui asked why Jing Chen didn't come and if she should go see him. Yu Shu gave Yu Xiaoxiu a look and made an excuse, "Jing Chen is a cold person and doesn't like to interact with people. I can't force him to come. Aunt Huei, don't think too much." Doctor He, who was at the side, said, "I heard that the people of Jianghu are usually solitary. Since he doesn't want to see us, it's not good for us to force him." Zhao Hui nodded. She pulled Yu Xiaoxiu's hand and said to Yu Shu, "I still have a serious matter to discuss with you today." She looked at He Fangzhi and said, "Your Uncle Pei has to work in the capital. We won't have anyone to look after us in Yiyang. We're worried that the Ji family will be put in a difficult position. Doctor He has discussed with him and decided to open a small medical clinic in the capital. After everything has been arranged, we'll send someone to Yiyang to pick up Popo. We'll settle down in the capital. Yixiong has already arranged a place to live. After a few days of tidying up the residence, you and Xiaoxiu can move in and live with us. What do you think?"
Yu Xiaoxiu turned his head to look at Yu Shu and asked, "If they want to live with Aunt Huei, what about Jing Dage?"
Yu Shu thought for a moment and honestly said to Zhao Hui, "The two of us also want to live with Aunt Huei, but Jing Chen is still in the capital. It's not good to leave him behind and move out alone. Why don't we wait a little longer?" Zhao Hui said, "What's wrong with that? There are enough rooms in that residence. Let Young Hero Jing come with us."
She paused and earnestly said to Yu Shu, "No matter what, you two are not related. It's not appropriate for you to live with a man like this. People's words are a fearful thing. If you move in with me, this Changxun, then it's a different matter." Yu Xiaoxiu rubbed his head and felt that what Zhao Hui said was reasonable. He then looked at Yu Shu with a thoughtful expression.
Doctor He also tried to persuade them, "If you two move in together, your Aunt Huei will be able to rest in peace and nurture the fetus. Otherwise, she will always be thinking about you two from day to night. Her body will always be weak and she won't be able to eat or sleep well. I'm afraid that if she continues like this, it will be difficult for her to endure when her belly gets bigger." "Big Sister, how about we come and live with Aunt Huei?" Yu Men and Xiu were moved and also tried to persuade Yu Shu.
Facing Zhao Hui's expectant expression, Yu Shu felt very embarrassed. It was fine if she and Xiaoxiu moved in with them, but the key was Jing Chen. He couldn't live with them.
"Men … Yu?"
"How about this, it's not good for me to make the decision alone. I'll go back today and ask Jing Chen if he's willing to come over."
