Ji Shu came to the side courtyard and opened the door of the main house. There was no one in the house.
She knew that Qi Baoxin could not honestly read in the room.
Ji Shu closed the door with his backhand and wandered around the room leisurely, his eyes gradually falling on the stone tiles under the bed.
Qi Baoxin spent the whole morning catching butterflies in the flower hall. Mother Wei checked the time.
"Miss Bao, it's almost noon. You haven't finished today's study homework yet. Let's go back."
"What are you going back for! I don't want to be a scholar. It is a virtue for a woman to have no talent." Qi Baoxin snorted coldly.
Mother Wei's voice froze. Such words had not been spoken by a woman from a wealthy family for many years.
As expected, he grew up in Weihai Customs and was not able to get on the stage.
Mother Wei made a note in her mind and planned to tell the old lady later.
"Then we have to go back, just in case the old lady comes to see you."
Mother Wei changed her explanation, and Qi Baoxin really became honest.
The two returned to the courtyard and saw a beautiful figure sitting at the stone table in the courtyard from a distance.
Qi Bao felt fear in his heart and subconsciously hid behind Mother Wei.
Then she remembered that the matter of stealing things was over, and she straightened her back and became more tempered.
"What are you doing here! You bad woman! Get out of my yard!"
"Who taught you to talk to your aunt like this?"
Ji Shumei's eyes narrowed, showing no anger and self-importance.
"!"
belch--
Qi Baoxin was so frightened that she hid behind Mama Wei and hiccupped non-stop.
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, Mother Wei made another note to Qi Bao.
"Greetings to the Second Young Madam. Forgive me, Young Madam. Miss Bao was in a bad mood because of her temper. Don't argue with her."
"What a coincidence. I'm not in a good mood today either, and I can't bear to be wronged."
Ji Shu looked at Mother Wei, "Miss Bao was in our courtyard a few days ago and she still knew how to respect her aunt. It has only been two days since she was in your hands. She is so ignorant. Mother Wei cannot escape the blame."
A drop of cold sweat slipped from Wei's mother's forehead.
She quickly dragged Qi Baoxin out from behind.
"Miss Bao, please apologize to your mother! How could you say such evil words just now!"
Qi Baoxin had tears in his eyes, "Wow - I don't want her, I want my mother!"
She turned around to run, but Ji Shu stepped forward and held her down.
"Where can I find my mother? I am your mother!"
"Miss Bao! You still haven't apologized! I'm going to invite the old lady!"
Qi Baoxin couldn't break free, and cried and said: "I was wrong, I was wrong! I will never scold you again, and I won't dare to do it next time!"
Ji Shu then let go.
"The old lady said you were studying at the University of Science and Technology. Did you escape to play?"
Mother Wei knelt down with a pop.
"Young madam, please forgive me! It's my fault that I didn't take care of Miss Bao! I'll take Miss Bao to study at this moment!"
"What is she going to learn today?"
"Back to Madam, it's a thousand-character essay."
"Take her to Changle Yuan before dinner tomorrow, and I'll do a spot check. From Heaven and Earth Xuan Huang to You Yu Tao Tang, you must be able to recite it and understand its meaning."
Qi Baoxin's head was swollen and his eyes were red.
Mother Wei didn't dare to say anything, she agreed repeatedly, and led Qi Baoxin to the study.
With Qi Baoxin's head, he couldn't carry it even if he fought by midnight.
Ji Shu sighed lightly, glanced at the door of the main house, turned around and left the side courtyard.
Not far after walking down the corridor, Xitao and Song's mother walked over from the opposite side.
Mother Song's face turned pale, and she looked at Ji Shu as if she were seeing a ghost, and almost knelt down in front of her.
"Mother Song doesn't look well. You should pay attention to rest."
Ji Shu raised his hand to stop Song's mother's movements, and traced a few strokes on her arm with his fingertips.
Mother Song said in a trembling voice: "Thank you so much, Madam, for your concern..."
Ji Shu smiled without saying a word and led Xitao away.
The night gradually darkened. In Changle Courtyard, Xitao ordered people to pick up the two red lanterns under the eaves and turned back to the house.
"Ma'am, curfew is about to begin."
She cut off the heart of the candle and murmured in a low voice: "The second master still didn't come tonight."
Ji Shu rolled up a book of travel notes and leaned on the quiet pillow to read it. He chuckled when he heard this.
"It would be better if he doesn't come. If he comes, we'll waste time driving him out."
"I'm just afraid that someone in the house will gossip."
Xitao was worried. She sat on the footrest, leaned next to Ji Shu, and said softly:
"It doesn't matter whether the second master comes or not. In the past, my wife was in charge of the house, and everyone in the Hou Mansion relied on her for food. Even if the second master was not here, no one would dare to chew on my wife. But now that my wife has given away the power of running the house, the servants are afraid that there will be some trouble." People throw bowls and scold their mothers.”
She actually didn't understand, "Why does Madam want to take charge of the family? Madam can ask others to help when she is tired. Doesn't Madam want to be wronged if she takes it out?"
Ji Shuhe's Travel Notes.
"Tao'er, in the past six years, whose surname do you think the farms and shops in the Hou Mansion have taken?"
"Of course it's Madam. The new business of the shop is brought about by Madam. Now all the running water in the Hou Mansion and the money in the palace come from the shop!"
The name is still Houfu's shop, but except for the shell, the core has been completely changed. Whose shop is it if it's not Ji Shu's?
Ji Shu smiled and said, "But the outside world won't listen to you. If you really want to go to court, you have to look at the name on the property deed."
"I remember Madam said that those shops were the late Madam's dowry."
"The shell belongs to the late Madam, and the core belongs to me. In short, it does not belong to the Hou Mansion."
Xitao suddenly realized, "I understand."
Madam wanted to really let the owner of the shop have the surname Ji, so she gave up the power of running the house.
The lady dug another big hole and waited for the prey to jump into it.
Ji Shu: "When Qi Ye comes back, I will talk to him. This shop belongs to his mother after all. We can ask him to be a shareholder and get dividends."
Xitao scratched her head.
"This slave can't understand what Madam and Boss Chang are saying at all..."
"But Madam doesn't care about the shop anymore, and Boss Chang doesn't know yet. Madam, do you want to tell her to ask Boss Chang to stop delivering goods to the shop? The business of the shop is so good. It's Madam who planted the trees, so she can't call her Jiang Fu." Take advantage of the cool weather."
Ji Shu said with a smile: "Chang Miao is an eccentric person and will notice it. And I don't know where she is, so I can't give out the news."
"That's right..."
Dong dong dong——
The master and servant both stopped talking and looked outside.
Xitao went to check first. Ji Shu lifted the brocade quilt and got off the floor. As soon as she walked out of the warm curtain, Mother Song came in and knelt down in front of her.
"Young Madam! I beg you, Young Madam, to let my son go. I will work like a cow or a horse to repay Madam!"
Song's mother was in tears. She didn't know how she provoked Ji Shu, but Ji Shu actually checked her out!
Even the old lady didn't know that Mrs. Song had given birth to a child when she was young.
She became pregnant before marriage and was afraid of being immersed in a pig cage. After giving birth, she left the child to be raised by her younger sister and brother-in-law.
Unexpectedly, this kid would cause trouble everywhere when he grew up. A few years ago, Jie Dao accidentally killed someone!
Her sister and her husband had fled without a trace, and Song's mother was unwilling to let her own son go to jail, so she secretly hid him and raised him.
But it was such a hidden thing that Ji Shu found out!
Song's mother went to the place where her son was hiding in the afternoon, but the building was empty.
"Young madam, you can ask me to do whatever you want me to do. Please, don't hurt my son!"
