Watching the blue bird fly farther and farther away, Ji Yunxi suddenly turned to Ji Yunyi and asked,
"Second brother, when do you think Feng Xingzhi will come back?"
Ji Yunyi stroked her head and said, "Don't worry. Feng Xingzhi has regained his memory. He is very powerful now. Maybe he just has some things to sort out."
"I know in my heart, but I always..." Ji Yunxi suddenly choked with sobs. "I'm afraid Jiang Yaoji will make him forget me again."
Ji Yunyi stiffened slightly. He seemed to understand his sister's sadness. "Yunxi, you should have more confidence in him. He forgot you before, but he still firmly chose you."
Ji Yunxi remembered what Lushu had said to her yesterday, those hurtful words.
"What if he..."
Ji Yunyi interrupted her. "It doesn't matter, Yunxi. You should remember that even if Feng Xingzhi really changes his heart, you are the best girl in the Ji family. What are you afraid of?"
After hearing this, Ji Yunxi finally broke into a smile through her tears. She looked at her brother with tears in her eyes. When did the most dissolute young master in the capital become so serious?
It seemed that they had all grown up.
One was suffering from lovesickness eagerly, while the other was constantly retreating, looking sad.
Feng Xingzhi sat in the carriage all the way. He felt uncomfortable all over.
Jiang Yaoji wanted to talk to him several times, but was always rebuffed coldly.
All the way to the Jiang family in Xirong, yet they didn't say a single word to each other.
When the carriage arrived at the door, the steward stood there respectfully. The scene of Jiang Yaoji punishing the members of the Jiang family was still vivid in his mind. Now the steward was living a hard life, constantly on tenterhooks.
Feng Xingzhi got out of the carriage with a cold expression.
Jiang Yaoji stepped forward. "Xingzhi, I..."
She opened her mouth to say something, but seeing Feng Xingzhi's cold expression, it seemed that he had no intention of talking to her and didn't care why she had returned to the Jiang family.
"Now that I've come back with you, when will you lift the seal and detoxify Lushu?"
Jiang Yaoji couldn't maintain the smile on her lips. She forced out a slight smile with difficulty. "I understand."
She didn't say it clearly. She was a little unhappy in her heart. She turned around and vented her anger on the steward. "Stupid servant! Can't you see that the honored guest is tired? Hurry up and arrange a courtyard!"
The steward immediately felt cold all over. He quickly nodded and bowed in agreement.
While trotting, he tugged at the servant beside him. "Hurry up and tidy up the courtyard closest to the family head! "
The servant was still a little confused and whispered, "Steward, do we really have to arrange it near the family head? He's a man from outside!"
"Are you stupid?! He's an honored guest. What do you mean by a man from outside?" The steward scolded angrily on the surface, but in his heart he despised Jiang Yaoji. In his opinion, the family head of the Jiang family had already ruined the century - old reputation of the Jiang family. Naturally, she didn't care whether there was a man from outside by her side.
Feng Xingzhi didn't know the steward's little thoughts. He followed them into the Jiang family all the way. Before entering, he looked back, but there was no sign of the blue bird.
After settling down, Jiang Yaoji smiled and said, "We haven't said a single word all the way. Xingzhi, you can stay here at ease."
Feng Xingzhi shook his head. "I can't be at ease. Lushu is poisoned, but I haven't seen the Jiang family offer any help. If you can't do it, I'll find someone else."
Jiang Yaoji tightened her hands under her sleeves. "Azhi, don't be like this. I just..."
"You don't need to say anymore. I'm tired from the journey and I need to rest." Feng Xingzhi always felt that he and Jiang Yaoji didn't get along well. Otherwise, why was his attitude towards her so impatient?
Jiang Yaoji also knew that Feng Xingzhi was not calm now. If she continued to stay and make him unhappy, there would be no good result. She smiled faintly and then turned around to leave.
Lushu watched her leave. He carefully came to his master's side. Before he could speak, he saw his master suddenly set up a barrier.
"Master?"
"Lushu! What on earth is going on?"
Lushu looked blank. He had lost his previous memories. All he knew were the things that Jiang Yaoji had instilled in him. Naturally, he didn't know what Feng Xingzhi was asking.
"Master, I don't understand what you're talking about."
Feng Xingzhi frowned. "I'm asking you why you said those things about Yunxi? And what about the seal and the poison in your body?"
Lushu scratched his head. "Ah... The family head of the Jiang family said the seal was to help me suppress the poison. She doesn't know what kind of poison it is, but it was Ji Yunxi who poisoned me."
Feng Xingzhi took a deep breath. He was almost angry enough to laugh. After hearing this, he was full of helplessness. "You don't even know what kind of poison it is. How can you be sure it was Yunxi who poisoned you?"
He asked rhetorically, but he didn't expect Lushu to give him a reason. After all, in his opinion, Lushu couldn't give a normal answer.
He closed his mouth and carefully examined Lushu's body with his spiritual power again. This time, without any interruption, he could check everything in his body carefully. Only then did he become more certain that Lushu was seriously injured.
Moreover, it was obvious that the injury was caused by an external force. So there were only two possibilities. One was that Lushu was injured on his own and was rescued by Jiang Yaoji on the way.
The other was that Jiang Yaoji captured Lushu, hurt him, and seeing that he was unyielding, finally used the seal to tamper with his memory and thus coerce him.
Obviously, the second guess was more convincing.
Feng Xingzhi sighed. There was nothing he could do but take one step at a time. He first used his divine power to treat Lushu's injury.
"Lushu, you're seriously injured. You'd better have a good rest these days."
After sending Lushu away, Feng Xingzhi closed the door and was going to try to contact Ji Yunxi to think of a countermeasure together.
On the other hand, Jiang Yaoji returned to her own courtyard. Although she had achieved the result she wanted, the hardships she had endured had exhausted her.
She took a short rest in the courtyard. She was going to gather her strength. After resting well, she would start to do the same thing to Feng Xingzhi as she did to Lushu. First, paralyze the meridians in his body, and then use a secret technique to set up a seal in his body.
But after closing her eyes and thinking for a while, Jiang Yaoji realized that it would be obviously much more difficult to deal with Feng Xingzhi.
He had regained his memory and was on guard against her. Moreover, his divine power had also recovered. It would be extremely difficult just to knock him out.
Jiang Yaoji closed her eyes to gather her thoughts and come up with a countermeasure. Suddenly, she was interrupted by Jiang Yin. She saw him with a look of disgust on his face, holding a blue bird in his hand.
"Family head, this bird landed outside. There seems to be something tied to its leg."
Jiang Yaoji sat up, took out the letter tied to the blue bird, and after a moment, sneered. She quietly used her spiritual power to ignite a flame and burned the letter.
"Kill the bird. Don't let Feng Xingzhi find out."
Jiang Yin immediately understood. He nodded slightly and then turned to do as he was told.
"Wait."
Suddenly, a new countermeasure occurred to Jiang Yaoji. Since Ji Yunxi was so eager to come to her, she couldn't very well refuse her.
