Ji Yunxi thought it might be the person in her dream calling her, and instinctively felt a chill run down her spine.
Feng Xingzhi had been leaning beside her. Ji Yunxi's reaction immediately woke him up.
"Xixi, you're awake."
Feng Xingzhi's face was slightly pale. Ji Yunxi reached out lovingly and stroked his face.
"Azhi, thanks to you. You must have been exhausted last night."
Feng Xingzhi didn't think he had endured much hardship. He only felt heartache for the pain Ji Yunxi had suffered. "I'm fine. But your headaches seem to be getting more frequent. We must find an antidote quickly."
Qing Xuan wanted to say that the headaches were not caused by poisoning, but just as he was about to speak, he saw his master shaking her head at him.
Qing Xuan swallowed his words.
"Xixi, I didn't mean to hide it from you. Qing Xuan told me last night that you already knew I wasn't low in spiritual power."
Hearing that Qing Xuan had spilled the beans, Ji Yunxi gave him a dissatisfied look.
Qing Xuan felt wronged and squatted in the corner like a puff of cloud. "I didn't mean to say it. It's just that he was so powerful last night. I couldn't help it..."
Feng Xingzhi smiled. Looking at Qing Xuan, he thought that when he acted coquettishly, he was exactly like Ji Yunxi.
"No wonder you're your contracted spirit beast. You're really alike."
Hearing this, Qing Xuan immediately came closer, quite satisfied. "You're right. I'm just like my master!"
Ji Yunxi was amused by Qing Xuan. Without her memories, she didn't know that this spirit beast liked her so much.
Seeing her smile, Feng Xingzhi felt a bit less worried. "So, Xixi, aren't you angry?"
Ji Yunxi nodded. "Of course not. I guessed you were hiding something from me, but you must have your own difficulties. I can understand. After all, your status is different, and you face different things."
Feng Xingzhi was touched and reached out to hold Ji Yunxi's hand.
Her hand was fair and soft, looking small and cute in Feng Xingzhi's palm.
"Azhi, I think you've already guessed that I also have things I can't explain to you in detail. But I'll tell you everything when the time is right."
Ji Yunxi's honesty made Feng Xingzhi look serious. They were lovers who would get married in the future. There was no need to hide anything from each other.
"Xixi, I also promise you that I'll explain everything to you when the right opportunity arises."
"Okay."
Qing Xuan looked left and right and suddenly felt like an extra person. He turned around and returned to Ji Yunxi's spiritual sea.
Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Feng Xingzhi sat down beside Ji Yunxi and smoothly pulled her into his arms.
Ji Yunxi was a bit shy at first, but then thought that given their current relationship, there was no need to be overly reserved.
Leaning against each other comfortably, Feng Xingzhi whispered to Ji Yunxi until her ears turned red.
As they were talking, there was a knock on Ji Yunxi's door.
"Yunxi, are you up?"
It was Ji Yunyi!
Ji Yunxi immediately sat up straight. Looking at Feng Xingzhi still sitting beside the bed, she was a bit anxious. "Second brother! I'm not up yet. Wait for me a while!"
After saying that, she quickly pulled Feng Xingzhi. "Hurry up. You should go quickly."
Feng Xingzhi felt like a scoundrel who had come for a tryst and was a bit reluctant.
Ji Yunxi saw his hesitation and whispered to coax him. "Azhi, you'd better go back quickly. If second brother sees you, he'll surely be unhappy. What if he doesn't like you? It'll be difficult for you to see me in the future."
Feng Xingzhi was a bit confused. Why would it be difficult for them to meet? Couldn't he just walk in openly?
"Ah, Azhi! In Nanyan, engaged men and women are not allowed to meet before marriage."
Feng Xingzhi suddenly understood. He had only seen Feng Jiangming marry concubines, which was quite different from ordinary families.
"Got it. I'll go now." Feng Xingzhi suddenly remembered Ji Yunyi at the door. "Xixi, how should I leave?"
Ji Yunxi pointed at the window to signal him.
Unexpectedly, one day, the mighty Prince Feng would become someone who climbed through a girl's window. As Feng Xingzhi left the Ji Mansion, he thought it was quite funny.
Anyway, he had climbed over the wall last night. Climbing through the window wasn't a big deal.
After Feng Xingzhi was out of sight, Ji Yunxi opened the door for Ji Yunyi.
"Second brother, why are you here so early?"
Hearing Ji Yunxi say this, Ji Yunyi looked at the sun that had already risen quite high and was a bit confused. "Yunxi, what time is it? It's not early at all."
Ji Yunxi didn't answer. She stepped aside. "Come in first."
As soon as Ji Yunyi sat down, he took out a stack of silver notes from his bosom.
Ji Yunxi took them and flipped through them. She found that there were also several land deeds hidden at the bottom.
"Second brother, there are so many..."
Ji Yunxi was shocked. She had never known about the Ji family's fortune before. Wasn't this almost emptying the family fortune?
Ji Yunyi raised his eyebrows and poured himself a glass of water.
"Second brother, this isn't emptying the family fortune, is it?"
"Cough, cough!" Ji Yunyi choked on a mouthful of water.
"Not really. Although this sum of money is not a small amount, it won't make the Prime Minister's Mansion go bankrupt. Yunxi, you can rest assured."
Looking at the money in her hands, Ji Yunxi suddenly understood why the elders of the clan had been clamoring to divide the family as soon as Ji Qilin left.
While Ji Yunxi was still shocked by the family's silver treasury, Ji Yuyan got the news on the other side.
The maid whispered in Ji Yuyan's ear. "Second Miss, the steward said that the Second Young Master took a lot of silver notes and land deeds from the family and went to the Eldest Miss's place. We don't know what he's going to do."
Ji Yuyan put down the cup in her hand and frowned slightly. "Silver notes and land deeds?"
The maid immediately replied. "Yes. This was accidentally revealed by the steward. Are they trying to do something behind your back?"
Ji Yuyan's eyes darkened. She was just about to say that Ji Yunyi had always disliked her and it was possible for him to do something.
But then she suddenly remembered that it was said that the Dream Flower Pavilion was going to sell its collection...
Could it be that Ji Yunxi was going to bid?
Ji Yuyan's face changed. She immediately drove the maid out. After making sure there was no one around, she picked up a pen and wrote a letter.
The next day.
Ji Yunxi, accompanied by Ji Yunyi and several servants from the mansion, stood in front of the Dream Flower Pavilion. Feng Xingzhi's carriage was already waiting beside them.
Seeing Ji Yunxi and the others coming, Feng Xingzhi got out of the carriage. A frowning guard was following him.
Seeing Ji Yunxi, the guard immediately bowed and greeted her.
"Greetings, Miss Ji."
Feng Xingzhi was quite satisfied with his alertness. He slightly curled his lips. "Xixi, this is my personal guard, Feng Qi. If you have anything to do, just tell him."
Ji Yunxi had seen this person a few times before. He always followed Feng Xingzhi, obviously an important guard. Now, he was at her disposal. This trust and favor made Ji Yunxi a bit shy.
Ji Yunyi didn't like it at all.
"Humph, our Ji Mansion isn't short of servants... Ouch!"
