Ji Jiu took Shen Yanlan to the side hall.

Seeing Shen Qingyi, Shen Yanlan looked at Ji Yanning with hostile eyes.

She snorted coldly: "Ji Yanning, the marriage between our two families has been annulled, and you personally wrote the voluntary divorce letter, now what is your idea to let your brother come to meet! Let me tell you, don't be delusional enough to marry into our Shen family!"

"Yanlan, don't be rude!" Shen Qingyi reprimanded softly.

Shen Yanlan was unconvinced: "Third brother, don't believe her words." ”

Ji Yanning picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, without raising his head.

The shopkeeper on the side looked at the two brothers and sisters, and became a little impatient: "What do you brothers and sisters mean by this, one said that there was something important to ask our eldest lady, and the other came in so politely, this is not your Shen Mansion." ”

Shen Yanlan turned her head to Shen Qingyi and said, "Third brother, what are you doing when you come to see her, this kind of money-greedy villain, don't be deceived by her!"

Shen Qingyi said in a deep voice: "Yan Lan, shut up!"

Ji Yanning opened his mouth and said: "If there is nothing else, Ying'er will send off the guests." ”

Shen Qingyi looked at Ji Yanning, who was sitting on the main seat, so he had no choice but to step forward and salute, and walked out of the side hall with his sister.

Seeing the Shen family brothers and sisters leaving, the shopkeeper sighed lightly and comforted Ji Yanning: "The people of the Shen family are so capricious, they don't even have a minimum contract credit, the eldest lady doesn't have to pay attention to it, the eldest lady will definitely be able to find a better family." ”

Ji Yanning smiled slightly, but he didn't care.

She was reborn for revenge, and she didn't care about the others.

Shen Yanlan followed closely behind Shen Qingyi uneasily, and the brother and sister walked down the street one after the other, silent.

She rarely saw the third brother look so angry, it seemed that it was because she not only secretly followed him, but also disturbed his affairs.

"Third brother, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to follow you, I was just worried about you. Shen Yanlan bowed her head and admitted her mistake.

Shen Qingyi turned around and looked at her: "What else?"

Shen Yanlan bit her lip and said reluctantly, "You shouldn't come to the door to question Ji Yanning." ”

When Shen Qingyi saw her like this, she sighed helplessly, feeling depressed in her heart.

"Third brother, I really know it's wrong. Shen Yanlan said, "Although I hate Ji Yanning, I shouldn't be rude." ”

Shen Qingyi said: "Don't mention this matter to your mother. ”

Shen Yanlan pursed her lips, stepped forward and asked, "Third brother, why did you go to Ji Yanning, I know that my mother doesn't want to hear any news from Ji Yanning now, the last time she came to the door, she made her mother very angry, and the two families have already formed a relationship, so why do you want to provoke her." ”

"Miss Ji is not like that. Shen Qingyi said.

Shen Yanlan was not happy when she heard this, it was okay for her to admit her mistakes, but in her cognition, Ji Yanning was not a good person, and now that the third brother spoke for her, she was naturally unconvinced.

"Third brother, you won't really be deceived by her!" she said nervously, "I didn't lie to you. ”

Thinking of Ji Yanning's foxy face, she felt that it must be Ji Yanning who confused her third brother.

Shen Qingyi didn't want to continue the topic with her: "Okay, don't mention this matter again." ”

If he had known Miss Ji earlier, maybe things would have been different.

It's just that before he could sigh with emotion, the reputation of Miss Baochang Ji has already spread in Cangzhou.

Won the phoenix tail guqin at the Lantern Festival, and her chess skills have been taught by many people, and she can win so easily against three people with one heart and three uses, which shows that the chess skills are superb, and at the same time, it has also brought a lot of fame to Bao Chang Ji, which is the first time to enter the top ten of the number of participants in the Lantern Festival.

For a while, Ji Yanning received a lot of prayer posts, but all of them refused.

She didn't want to waste time in Cangzhou anymore.

It seems that autumn is approaching, and she wants to go to Chang'an earlier.

In addition to Baochang Ji, the Shen family is not quiet, it has long been rumored that the third son of the Shen family has a marriage contract with the owner of Baochang Ji, maybe walking through the door of the Shen family, you can see this powerful woman.

Mrs. Shen was very angry, and let out her words, saying that their marriage contract had long been invalidated, and that Ji Yanning had exchanged her marriage for money, and she was really a profiteer.

Everyone was in an uproar, and there were different opinions for a while.

Many people feel that Ji Yanning's approach is inappropriate, and some people think that Mrs. Shen's words are not credible, how can a woman with such cultivation be the kind of person who only has money in her eyes?

Ji Yanning didn't care about these rights and wrongs, and took people to Jiangzhou.

The journey back was obviously much more comfortable than when I came, and the journey of more than ten days was very calm, and I did not encounter mountain bandits.

The procession of carriages slowly entered Jiangzhou City and headed in the direction of Jifu, and it was already dusk when they arrived.

Steward Wu had already received the news and was waiting at the gate of the mansion.

Ji Yanning stepped down from the carriage and stepped on a low stool, only to see a small figure immediately pounce towards her and reach out to hug her.

"Sister!" Ji Lang was overjoyed, "Lang'er misses you so much!"

Ji Yanning chuckled and pinched his little nose: "Sister also thinks about Lang'er, thinking about whether Lang'er is studying well at home and practicing martial arts?"

Ji Lang nodded violently: "Yes, the gentlemen still praised me!"

"That's amazing. Ji Yanning praised.

Ji Lang's little face smiled brightly.

Wu Geng stepped forward and saluted Ji Yanning: "The eldest lady has been driving all the way, and she is resting in the mansion, and dinner has been prepared." ”

Ji Yanning bowed: "It's hard work Uncle Wu." ”

"It's not hard. Wu Geng said.

Ji Yanning had dinner and cleaned up, because he was too tired, he rested early.

When Wu Geng came over on the second day, Ji Yanning was practicing archery.

She handed the bow in her hand to Ying'er, took the sweat towel handed by Shiso and wiped the sweat on her forehead, and then walked to the study.

"Miss, the news has come back from Chang'an. Wu Geng said, "After our investigation during this time, Madame's maiden family is indeed the Chang'an Liu family." ”

As he spoke, he handed the letter forward.

Ji Yanning opened the letter, looked at it carefully, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Liu Xi'er's father was originally a chief of the Ministry of War, although he was not a high-ranking official, but he could stand in Chang'an, her mother died of a sudden illness shortly after giving birth to her, leaving only her and her brother two children, and her father married his stepmother not long after.

The stepmother gave birth to two sons and a daughter, so they were quite excluded from their brothers and sisters, and then I don't know what the reason, Liu Xi'er was sent to Zhuangzi by the Liu family and ignored it, and after a year, Zhuangzi suddenly caught fire, burning Zhuangzi to the ground, and everyone thought that Liu Xi'er had died in the fire.

"I sent someone to check, Madame not only has the same name as that Miss Liu, but also her age, appearance, and temperament can match, so there must be nothing wrong with it. Wu Geng said, "It's just a matter of family privacy, why our wife was sent to Zhuangzi back then, and I don't know why there was a fire in Zhuangzi, and I don't know how Mrs. met the master." ”

Ji Yanning clenched the letter in his hand, and there was a slight chill in his eyes.

There will always be some dirty insiders in the big family, and Liu Xi'er is just a defeated person in the back house.

She asked, "Didn't her father and her own brother look for her again?"

Wu Geng said: "According to the news we came back, when Mrs. had an accident, her brother was not in Chang'an, but went to the border pass, and looked for a while after coming back. Her father didn't make any moves, as if he had accepted the news that his wife had died. ”

He handed over another letter, which was written about the current situation of the Liu family, the positions and whereabouts of the people in the family.

It's just that Baochangji is a merchant family after all, and he doesn't deal with these scholar families on weekdays, and the things that can be found are not in-depth, and some secrets are still found out by the hands of Lord Guo Qichun, and more details are unknown.

Ji Yanning took a closer look, but he had already written down the approximation.

She asked for a restaurant from the Shen family, just to find out more information, although she has money in her hands, but it is not easy to gain a firm foothold in the newly opened store in Chang'an, it is better to take a ready-made one directly, the Shen family's restaurant is an old store in Chang'an, but it will not be suspected, and it can be blocked in the name of the Shen family, and it will kill multiple birds with one stone.

This family business is always somewhat useful.

She said: "Steward Wu, if I go to Chang'an, can you handle the business in Jiangzhou alone?"

Wu Geng didn't answer immediately, but asked, "Miss, is this something you want to check on Mrs.?"

Ji Yanning said: "It's not just about this matter, it may stay for a long time." ”

"It's my honor that the eldest lady trusts me, but it's not easy to turn over these old things. Steward Wu said.

He also felt incredible when he found out about these things, but he didn't expect that such a gentle lady on weekdays had experienced so many things before.

It's just that those things have passed after all, and the situation of the lady back then was like this, so the people of the Liu family must not be a good person, if the eldest lady goes, how can she be their opponent?

"There are some things that are not easy to know until you do them. Ji Yanning said, "In the next two days, I will write a letter and ask Uncle Wu to send someone to deliver it to my uncle." ”

Wu Geng knew the eldest lady's temperament, and he couldn't persuade him, so he agreed.

"Lord Guo came with news from there, saying that there was no need to mention his share. Wu Geng said, "What he means is that for the sake of the master, he will still take care of us Baochang Ji as always, as long as Baochang can't remember anything wrong, there will be no trouble on the side of the transfer department." ”

Ji Yanning's eyes flashed slightly, he pondered for a moment, and said: "My letter will be handed over by Lord Guo on my behalf, and I will go to thank Lord Guo after I go to Chang'an." ”

Wu Geng bowed his head, so that Master Guo could also know that the eldest lady had gone to Chang'an, and as a fellow villager, he could also take care of one or two.
