Seeing that his younger sister finally woke up, Ji Mingyan grabbed Ji Yunxi’s wrist through the quilt, and his hands trembled: “Third Sister, I found the Poison Lady!”
Ji Yunxi: “Oh.”
Ji Mingyan was excited: “Third Sister, do you know who the Poison Lady is?”
Ji Yunxi: “Who is it?”
Ji Mingyan: “It’s Brother-in-law’s cook!”
Ji Yunxi: “Wow, what a coincidence.”
Ji Mingyan: “Yeah, what a coincidence! I have to thank you, Third Sister. If you hadn’t fallen in love with Brother-in-law, I might not have found the Poison Lady so soon! Third Sister, you are really good!”
Ji Yunxi: “Thank you, Sixth Brother.”
Ji Mingyan: “Third Sister, do you want Sixth Brother to cook breakfast for you? What do you want to eat?”
Ji Yunxi: “… No need.”
Ji Yunxi was patient and used the two disciplines of perfunctory and rhetoric to persuade Ji Mingyan to go back and make up for his sleep.
This is her experience over the years. Her Sixth Brother’s brain circuit is very strange. Ordinary people can’t understand his thoughts and behaviors. It is useless to reason with him and use traditional code of conduct.
As for the fact that the cook is the Poison Lady, Ji Yunxi is not surprised at all.
There are only four servants in the Wu family.
She personally went to the Wu family to see it. The four servants’ rooms faintly surrounded Wu Wei’an’s in the middle.
Therefore, none of those four could be ordinary people.
Ji Yunxi washed and had her meal under the service of her personal maidservant, and then continued calculating the year-end bonus that had not been completed yesterday.
In busy times, day after day goes by quickly.
Soon, it was New Year’s Eve.
Before dawn, Ji Yunxi got out of bed.
On this day of every year, she would go out very early and visit the pawnshops, auction houses and farmhouses one by one and hand out money to everyone.
The shopkeepers of pawnshops, auction houses and farmhouses would also get up early on this day, clean up the storefronts and eagerly wait for Ji Yunxi to come.

In their mind, Ji Yunxi occupies a very important position, the one whom their livelihood depends on.
The shopkeeper respectfully handed the well-organized account book and the inventory list of pawn goods to Ji Yunxi: “Third Miss, please have a look at it.”
Ji Yunxi took it, flipped it over, and handed over a bag of money.
At the same time, Baofu and Wan Xiang behind her are also busy handing out money to the workers who were standing.
Ji Yunxi looked at everyone: “This year, everyone has worked hard. Now, go back and have a good New Year celebration. Next year, I have to trouble everyone to continue working hard.”
Holding the heavy money bag in their hand, the workers were very happy, and Ji Yunxi also collected a basket full of sincere blessings.
After finishing all the visits, it was already dark.
Ji Yunxi did not return to the Ji Mansion, but went to the Wu family first.
It is her biggest business at present, so she has to take a good look at it.
Ji Yunxi first went to greet the elders of the Wu family, brought many New Year’s gifts over, and also asked Baofu to hand over a big red envelope to Little Young Master and the writing materials to Second Young Master.
Master Wu accepted it generously and asked his wife to give Ji Yunxi a red envelope and a bracelet.
It’s not expensive, but it’s the best thing the Wu family can come up with.
Ji Yunxi accepted it, thanked them and went to the side courtyard.
She asked Baofu and Wan Xiang to send red envelopes to the four servants of the Wu family, and pushed open Wu Wei’an’s door by herself.
Inside the door, Wu Wei’an was reading a book.
Hearing the movement, he raised his eyes and looked up. Seeing that it was Ji Yunxi, he lowered his head again and continued to read.
TN: Sorry, I’ve just noticed that I had mistranslated the place where Wu Wei’an lives. He lives in the side courtyard, not back courtyard. But because my time is limited, I may not be able to fix all the previous translations. Thank you.
