"The immortal is right. You should let go of your heart. It just so happens that there will be a tea party after noon today. You should also relax."
Ji Mengxi smiled and nodded." Since the eldest madam has spoken, then I' ll be honored." She stood up and bowed slightly." It's getting late. I' ll go back and prepare."
After she left, Feng'sWife immediately dropped the teacup in her hand. Her eyes immediately became fierce." You' re still dreaming. You' ve really put in a good word. You' ve turned around and scolded me. I think she's tired of living!"
"Madam, please calm down." Yuqing was somewhat terrified.
In the afternoon, the wives of the various prefectures came to the Ji Prefecture one after another, and were led by the servants to the Sanxin Courtyard.
Xiaoyue looked at her silent eyebrows as she sat in front of her makeup. She felt a little conflicted, wanting to say something but stopped.
"What do you want to say?"
Xiaoyue held his breath." Miss, are you really going?"
Ji Mengxi lightly stroked his eyebrows. A moment later, he put down his brush." It's almost time. It's time to go."
As she walked to the hand-creating corridor, she saw those madams all smiling like flowers, flattering Feng'sWife, and making Feng'sWife so funny that she couldn' t close her mouth.
Today's Feng'sWife wore a sapphire blue satin silk embroidered robe. She narrowed her eyes and walked over with quick steps with a smile.
Ji Wen Qiong, who was wearing a bamboo-colored, smoky, and flower dress, walked forward when he saw her. He grabbed her slender fingers with one hand and said with a smile," Big sister, why are you here?"
When she saw that face that had turned into ashes, she Ji Mengxi a faint smile on her lips. She pulled out her hand without leaving a trace and said politely," My body is a bit weak, so I took some time to come."
Ji Wen Qiong was a little embarrassed for a moment. He turned around to look at the gorgeous ladies and said," I hope the ladies don' t blame me."
"Of course not." A female attendant smiled and waved her hand, her gaze more on Ji Wen Qiong.
Feng'sWife was a discerning person. He immediately smiled and said," This is my third daughter." He then looked at Ji Xin Ran." This is my eldest daughter."
All the madams smiled and praised the two of them for their temperament and beauty. All of them simultaneously ignored Ji Mengxi.
She wasn' t angry either. She raised her eyes and glanced at the madams. She could see that the most important person among these people was probably Minister Lu's madame.
It was said to be a tea party, but it was Feng'sWife to show off the daughter that he had carefully nurtured.
"Madam, I' m here to relax at this caterer's meeting. Ladies and gentlemen, please have a good chat. I' ll go take a look at the flowers and plants that Madam has planted." As he spoke, Ji Mengxi entrusted himself and headed off into the distance.
She Feng'sWife so happy that she didn' t stop him.
As Ji Xin Ran watched the figure gradually disappear into the distance, a light flashed in his eyes before he coughed lightly.
Standing in front of Haitang, Ji Mengxi could feel a gaze staring at her.
"Xiaoyue, go to the kitchen and ask the chef to make some ice cream cakes. I' m afraid I' ll be hungry later." She instructed softly.
Xiaoyue nodded, then walked away.
Feng'sWife sat on the stone bench and praised Minister Lu's clothes. However, he frowned and sighed," Madam Lu, I just had someone make a green gem jade pendant a few days ago. There has never been a suitable pair of clothes. Today, after looking at Madam Lu's clothes, I actually feel that jade pendant matches Madam."
"It's rare for Madam to come, so I' ll do a beautiful thing. I' ll give that jade pendant to someone of destiny."
"Madam, you must not." Madam Lu politely declined. However, she insisted on sending it off and even asked Yuqing to go to the room.
Seeing this, Madam Lu couldn' t refuse and could only thank her for her good intentions.
In the time it took to boil a cup of tea, Yuqing ran back with a pale face. As soon as he returned, he knelt on the ground." Madam, the jade pendant... "The jade pendant is gone."
The madams were attracted by this sudden event, and the scene immediately became quiet. Everyone's eyes were focused on Yuqing.
Feng'sWife's face stiffened, then he asked angrily," What do you mean the jade pendant is gone?"
The Ji Mengxi in the distance heard a slight sound, and they curled their lips and walked with Xiaoyue.
"This servant...... When this servant went to look, she found that she had disappeared."
When Ji Xin Ran saw this, his gaze fell on Ji Mengxi and his voice rose." Ji Mengxi, I only saw your personal servant girl leave for at least fifteen minutes."
When everyone heard this, they turned their heads to look at her.
Ji Mengxi wasn' t angry at all. He covered his lips and smiled." What's your meaning? "Could it be that my servant girl stole it?"
Originally, she was the eldest daughter of the first wife of the Prime Minister's Estate. Because of Feng'sWife strengthening her body, she had completed her second daughter of the first wife and even called Ji Xin Ran eldest sister.
"Heh." Ji Xin Ran snorted disdainfully. A look of disdain appeared in his eyes." Whether it's true or not, I' ll let people search for it."
She suddenly restrained her smile, and her eyes were sharp." I' m the second young miss of the Prime Minister's Estate. Without my permission, I' ll see who dares to search!"
Everyone quietly watched the two of them confront each other.
Feng'sWife suddenly said," Ji Meng Xi, Xinran also has good intentions. Don' t misunderstand her."
"Good intentions?" She sneered," Have you ever put me in your eyes like this?"
###Chapter3,Missing the Jade Pendant
Ji Xin Ran looked at her and sneered," What? Could it be that you' re feeling guilty and don' t dare to be searched?"
"Why should I feel guilty about something I' ve never done?"
"Someone come, go search the Five Harmonies Academy carefully!" Ji Xin Ran coldly ordered.
Watching the servants walking towards the corridor, she shouted:" I' ll see who dares to move!"
The servants suddenly stopped, not knowing what to do.
"Why are you stopping me so often?" Ji Xin Ran narrowed his eyes and drew his voice.
She slowly curled her lips," I wonder what right does elder sister have to let someone search her room?" Before Ji Xin Ran could reply, she continued," What? I' m also the daughter of the Prime Minister. Even if my sister wants to search the house, she must report it to father, or ……"
"Or what?" Ji Xin Ran frowned and looked at her with displeasure.
"We might as well make a bet. If the jade pendant is in my room, I am willing to be punished and kneel down to apologize to the doctor. If the jade pendant is not in my room, what do you think?"
Ji Xin Ran stared at her face and indifferently said," If I' m not in your room, I' ll kneel down in front of you and apologize to you." Playing tricks with her, Ji Mengxi was still a bit inexperienced. That jade pendant, she had already ordered someone to hide it. Ji Mengxi ah Ji Mengxi, just wait and kneel.
"Alright." She replied, turned around and looked at the madams. She smiled and said," I' d like to trouble the madams to testify."
The madams looked at each other and nodded intentionally or unintentionally.
After half a stick of incense, Yuqing walked over from the Handwriting Corridor with a green jade pendant in his hand.
Ji Xin Ran saw that wisp of green from afar, and the corners of his mouth seemed to have curled up.
Yuqing Fang walked over and asked," Can you find it?" A trace of pride flashed through his eyes.
Who would have thought that Yuqing would shake his head and bite his lips and say," Young miss, we haven' t found them."
Ji Xin Ran face stiffened." Say it again?" Before Yuqing could reply, she pointed at the one in her hand." Then what is this?"
Only then did Yuqing present the green jade pendant in the surroundings and the red jade pendant in the center. This was clearly not a Feng'sWife jade pendant." This servant searched around and only found this jade pendant. I was afraid that Master would punish me, so I brought it back to pay my debts."
Standing by the side, the Ji Mengxi smiled gently and reached out to gently take the jade pendant." This is the jade pendant that I had someone carefully sculpt a few days ago. I know that Madam likes jade products, so I hope to give this to the doctor one day." She carefully touched the patterns on the jade pendant, revealing a hint of disappointment." Originally, it was a pleasant surprise, but now, it doesn' t feel like that."
Ji Xin Ran's entire body froze as he stared fixedly at the jade pendant, as if he was about to open a hole. How could that be? She had clearly told Ji Wen Qiong to let go, how could she?
Suddenly, she turned around and looked at Ji Wen Qiong with a fierce gaze.
Ji Wen Qiong lowered his eyebrows and tightly grabbed the handkerchief in his hand, not daring to raise his head.
"Big sister, should you fulfill your promise?" Ji Mengxi leisurely watched her face turn from red to green, and her heart was very comfortable.
The gazes that Ji Xin Ran looked at everyone focused on her body, and her hands that were covered by her sleeves tightly clenched. She gritted her teeth as she looked at her, and her body slowly sank.
Feng'sWife watched from the side. Her heart was filled with anger. Originally, she wanted to make this b***h lose face. From now on, she couldn' t raise her head, never expecting her to be so cunning.
"Big sister," Ji Mengxi reached out to stop her at the right time. Then, he helped her up with both hands and smiled." Little sister is just joking. How can big sister really kneel to me? "Little sister, you can' t afford it."
"Second Miss is really open-minded." Some of the madams praised him.
"Hui's kind-hearted and tolerant. She is indeed a good girl."
"……"
Feng'sWife and Ji Xin Ran were about to explode from anger when they heard these words, but they were unable to act because of their face.
"Big sister is ashamed. She doesn' t dare to let me forgive her." Ji Xin Ran straightened his body and looked ashamed as if he wanted to cry.
Ji Mengxi looked at her indifferently and pulled his hand back without leaving a trace." Big sister, what are you talking about? I told Xiaoyue to go to the kitchen to make you misunderstand. It's my fault. I will be careful in the future."
She turned around and walked towards the Feng'sWife. She presented the jade pendant to her." Madam, this jade pendant should be the best for you. You also have a kindness to me."
After that, she gave her body up and said with a somewhat unnatural expression," Madam, I' m afraid that I won' t have the fortune to continue participating in this tea party. My body and bones have not been very good, so I' ll leave first. I hope Madam won' t blame me."
Feng'sWife couldn' t say anything at this point. He pretended to pat her hand and said with a smile," Return to your room and have a good rest."
