Ji Cangming sat in front of the desk and rested his chin on his hands. He stared at the thin piece of paper on the desk and read for a long time.
Although he knew that Xie Qingrong was his daughter, in order to verify his conclusion, he specially sent a carrier pigeon that he raised to.
Just flying to Yue Country with a carrier pigeon had already taken close to ten days, since it was thousands of miles away.
However, this note already gave a clear answer. Xie Qingrong was indeed his eldest daughter, and her youngest daughter, Shang Zhiqing, had already recognized Xie Qingrong.
But why? You don't want to acknowledge him as your father?
Ji Rufeng lazily leaned against the comfortable chair, the chair had a layer of soft cushion. Looking at his uncle who was frowning, he chuckled.
"Uncle, you've read this note back and forth more than ten times. What, do you believe me or not?"
Ji Cangming frowned as he looked at Ji Rufeng, then looked at the note again, and hesitantly said: "Why is she unwilling to recognize me? I invited her to come to the Ji Mansion several times, but she never replied to me. "
"Puchi." Ji Rufeng could not help but sneer at him, sighing to himself in his heart. His uncle normally thought that he was quite an intelligent person, but when it came to critical moments, why did he always like to be the center of attention?
"What would you do if someone came to tell you that she was your mother and wanted to recognize you?" Ji Rufeng asked.
Ji Cangming blurted out, "Of course not." Who would suddenly believe that he had an extra mother, especially with his identity as the Chief of the Ji Family. It was inevitable that someone would use this to set him up.
Thinking about it this way, he suddenly realized that some of his actions towards Xie Qingrong were a little inappropriate, so he bit his lips in frustration.
Seeing his uncle's vexed look, Ji Rufeng smiled. He understood in his heart that Ji Cangming had already figured out what was wrong with his uncle.
Then, he said: "Do you know how long it took for Little Sister Zhi Qing to make Princess Consort Chen let go of his guard against her? Furthermore, not only has she helped the Princess Consort Chen to solve some of the troublesome problems that the Prince Chen and the Princess Consort Chen were facing, time and time again. "
Ji Cangming frowned, he was obviously not clear about all of this, he knew that Shang Zhiqing had gone out to train, but he had never secretly investigated Shang Zhiqing's training process, nor had he ever sent anyone to protect his life.
After all, experts were as common as the clouds by Shang Zhiqing's side.
"Then what should I do? That would lower her wariness towards me? " Ji Cangming asked.
Ji Rufeng raised his eyebrows, his finger lightly tapped on his eyebrow, and the thin lip began to move: "I remember that uncle has an invitation from the Yongzhou Auction House, why not give this invitation to Xie Qingrong, and take it as the first step to please her."
Ji Cangming did indeed have an invitation letter from the Yongzhou Auction House, but how did Ji Rufeng know about this? However, now was not the time to pursue this matter. After all, it was just an auction, so he did not place it in his eyes.
Furthermore, Ji Rufeng was the future patriarch of the Ji Family. With courage and means, he was the one who the Ji Family needed.
However, "Are you sure she'll accept this invitation?" Ji Cangming frowned, and asked with uncertainty.
How could a mere invitation from an auction house move Xie Qingrong?
Ji Rufeng raised his eyebrows, his gentle eyebrows raising up in disbelief, "Send the invitation over first, it won't be a problem whether she accepts it or not. If she doesn't accept it, can't you think of another way? If she does, won't we all be happy? "
You're right, Ji Cangming's heart was slightly moved as he took out the invitation letters that were pressed under all of the scrolls, and threw them in Ji Rufeng's direction.
Ji Rufeng quickly received the invitation letter, and asked: "Uncle, what do you mean by this?"
Ji Cangming smiled slightly, "I'll have to trouble nephew to send me out."
"Reward." Ji Rufeng did not reject, and only asked Ji Cangming for compensation. After all, working hard was not for nothing.
"You can take care of the land to the north." Ji Cangming clenched his teeth, and said while feeling pain.
Ji Rufeng had wanted that land for a long time, but he had not been able to find a suitable way to obtain it. Now that someone had personally delivered the thing to him, if he did not take it, wouldn't he be giving up on the master's good intentions?
Ye Zichen squinted his eyes, then walked out of the study with the invitation letter in hand.
However, even though Ji Cangming's heart ached for this piece of land, it wasn't to the point that he couldn't let the pain go. After all, this piece of land couldn't be compared to fawning over his daughter.
Moreover, if he wanted his nephew to do something for him, he would have to swallow a piece of meat from his body before he was willing to let go. Otherwise, how would he be able to help him?
The reason why Ji Cangming allowed Ji Rufeng to send the invitation letter was because he knew that Ji Rufeng definitely had a way to coax Xie Qingrong to accept the invitation letter. After all, his birthday banquet back then had still not known the truth.
Xie Qingrong, a person unrelated to the Ji Family, was able to be coaxed by Ji Rufeng to come here. He believed that Ji Rufeng definitely had a way to make him willingly accept this invitation letter.
Xie Qingrong once again received Ji Rufeng's invitation, and impatiently threw the invitation letter to the side, "Why is it Ji Rufeng again, what are you planning to do this time?"
Xuanyuan Chen opened the letter and said indifferently: "A Rong, do not be anxious. First, look at what is written in the letter."
Although he was impatient for Ji Rufeng's repeated invitations in his heart, Ji Rufeng was a smart person. Every invitation would give him and A Rong some information, if they missed out on important information due to personal reasons, it would make a big fuss out of nothing.
Xie Qingrong waved her hand, supported her forehead and coldly said: "Look, tell me what the letter said after you've finished reading it. I really want to see what kind of trick Ji Rufeng is going to play this time. "
The last time he had coaxed Xuanyuan Chen and himself into participating in Ji Cangming's birthday banquet, they had caused such a huge joke. This matter was still fresh in her mind, and even though she found out about his own father, he still resented Ji Rufeng a little in his heart.
"The letter only had three words written on it – Treasure Map. However, the letter also contained an invitation letter." Two fingers of Xuanyuan Chen's right hand were holding onto a small piece of paper, on it were written the words "Treasure Map".
On the desk, there was a neatly arranged red and gold invitation letter.
Xuanyuan Chen supported his forehead with his left hand, and his gaze landed on the invitation letter. He chuckled softly, "Last time was when the invitation letter was black and gold, this time it was red and gold. Do all the large families like this type of invitation letter?"
Hearing Xuanyuan Chen's smiling words, Xie Qingrong's eyes revealed a faint smile, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised, "Oh? Let me see. "
