The next morning, Ji Minghan and Li Huaimin arrived at Ji's house.

Yesterday, Ji Chenxing once again gave them clear instructions. In response, Li Huaimin first proposed to visit Ji Chenxing with some things.

Normally, Ji Chenxing would not accept their gifts. In order not to owe more favors, Li Huaimin was unwilling to give up the opportunity while Ji Chenxing's parents were still alive, and the two servants behind him were holding full of gifts.

Ji Minghan was not as good as Li Huaimin in dealing with human relationships, but Li Huaimin would always take him along no matter what happened, and he was happy to follow.

On the other side, early in the morning, Ji Zunxing was also rushing towards the Ji Mansion.

Yesterday he listened to the advice of Ji Chenxing's servant and stayed in the thatched hut obediently for a night. As a result, he did not sleep well and woke up many times during the night.

He also wanted to work hard in secret in an unknown place like in the story, and then make a big splash under Ji Chenxing's arrangement and amaze everyone.

But there is no way. He is now over fifty years old, and his health is getting worse after several devaluations. He is no longer at the age to endure hardships.

After sleeping all night in a pile of hay on the floor, Ji Zunxing felt pain in his shoulders, waist and back, so he got up early in the morning, washed his face, and started heading towards Ji's house.

He wanted to thank Ji Chenxing for his high hopes for him, and then tactfully told Ji Chenxing that at his age, he was only suitable for a comfortable retirement and not for doing anything else.

While walking towards Ji Chenxing's house, Ji Zunxing kept making excuses in his mind. How could he say it so as not to disappoint Ji Chenxing and at the same time express his meaning tactfully?

He was thinking intently as he walked, and when he passed a blind corner, he almost bumped into a servant who was carrying gifts to Ji's house.

Ji Zunxing was fine, but the servant was afraid of bumping into someone so he dodged himself and stumbled, dropping the thing in his hand to the ground.

"Are you okay?" Li Huaimin was the first to react to what happened. After confirming that the things that were dropped were not damaged, he asked the half-white-haired old man in front of him whether he was frightened.

Ji Zunxing was naturally fine, but he was a little short of money during this period.

Li Huaimin's well-intentioned inquiry made him feel a little over the top.

"You hit me, you have to pay me! I feel sick all over!"

Ji Zunxing said.

Because he didn't sleep well yesterday, Ji Zunxing was feeling a little unwell. It was better to let the person who bumped into him take him to treatment than to appear to be in poor health in front of Ji Chenxing.

Besides, this was someone he bumped into randomly on the street corner, so he probably didn't know him, so he should just think that he had done a good deed. If he could serve him well, it wouldn't be impossible for Ji Chenxing to give him an official position in the future.

As Ji Zunxing spoke, he finally raised his head to look at the man who almost hit him.

But it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you will be shocked when you see it.

The person standing in front of him was his own son Ji Minghan!

Ji Minghan was traveling with Li Huaimin, so he naturally saw what happened just now.

Li Huaimin's men didn't hit him at all. It was Ji Zunxing who was lying and blackmailing them.

Ji Minghan's face suddenly turned ugly, and the expression on his face seemed to be a mixture of disappointment, embarrassment, surprise, shame and other emotions.

During this period of time, Ji Minghan was often scolded by Ji Zunxing. The reason for his scolding was simply because he was obsessed with writing storybooks instead of taking the imperial examinations.

Fortunately, Ji Chenxing has been guiding him and Li Huaimin has been helping him during this period, otherwise Ji Minghan would not have achieved what he has today.

But all along, Ji Minghan only thought that his father was old-fashioned but upright, so he never got angry at Ji Zunxing's excessive words. Until today, he saw a side of Ji Zunxing that he had never seen before.

It turns out that Ji Zunxing is not upright, he just simply looks down on others and his heart is not kind.

Ji Minghan suddenly felt that he understood this family.

No wonder Ji Chenxing treated Ji Zunxing like this, it turned out that Ji Zunxing was asking for trouble.

Such people are not worthy of sympathy at all.

While Ji Minghan was stunned, the live broadcast system had already broadcast this scene.

In the prison, Ji Xueyao and Shen Ruyan were sleeping. When they heard Ji Zunxing's voice, they woke up as if by reflex.

After watching Ji Chenxing’s live broadcast yesterday afternoon, Ji Xueyao and Shen Ruyan were taken away separately and interrogated by the jailers.

Shen Ruyan and Ji Xueyao were involved in the conspiracy against Princess Xihe. They would definitely be executed once the matter was investigated and the evidence was conclusive, so the jailer used every possible means when interrogating the two.

After half a night of interrogation, both men were exhausted from torture and were not released back to the cell until morning.

Just as they began to relax their tense nerves, the two heard Ji Zunxing's voice coming from the live broadcast screen.

Ji Zunxing’s performance yesterday made the two people very disappointed, but after all, they have been husband and wife and father and daughter for more than ten years, so the two woke up reflexively when they heard Ji Zunxing’s voice.

The moment they woke up, the first thing the two people thought of was what Ji Zunxing had done yesterday. All the surprise in their hearts because of Ji Zunxing's appearance disappeared.

But soon, the two of them saw Ji Minghan standing opposite Ji Zunxing, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Xueyao, I almost forgot about your brother." Shen Ruyan said to herself.

Ever since Ji Minghan dropped out of school, his relationship with his family has been not very good.

Shen Ruyan couldn't bear to see him suffer outside, and tried many times to bring Ji Minghan back home, but Ji Zunxing just disagreed.

Ji Zunxing stubbornly wanted Ji Minghan to go back to school, but Ji Minghan was also like a stubborn donkey. He insisted on continuing to write his own book and refused to go home no matter what.

The relationship between the two men was very strained, and Shen Ruyan and Ji Xueyao were caught in the middle and were in a difficult situation.

After being plotted against by Ji Chenxing, Shen Ruyan also thought about finding Ji Minghan and bringing him back home, to have an extra laborer and an extra source of income.

However, Ji Zunxing always accepted money from Ji Minghan while cursing Ji Minghan's notebooks in the street for being too immoral.

Later, Ji Minghan also stopped giving them money.

When Shen Ruyan wanted to secretly look for Ji Minghan again, she could no longer enter the Li family's gate, as if she had severed all ties with their family.

So, yesterday Shen Ruyan thought of Ji Zunxing and the Shen family, but she didn't think about whether Ji Minghan would save her.

But now seeing Ji Minghan, Shen Ruyan's heart, which had been as dead as ashes, felt a little hope rekindled.

"Xueyao, your brother has such a good relationship with Ji Chenxing, he will definitely ask Ji Chenxing to let us out, right?" (End of this chapter)
