CH 34.6

Feng Qishi hurriedly said: “Yes, that’s what this minister means. This minister will return Third Miss’ money, and this matter will be considered as never happened. Master Ji, what do you think?”

Only then did Ji Mingxi raise his head: “Master Feng, I can’t decide on this matter. This child, Yun Niang, has always been very assertive and doesn’t listen to me at all.”

At the end, Ji Mingxi sighed deeply, giving others the feeling of being very helpless.

Feng Qishi: “……”

The Crown Prince also sighed: “It can be said that I have also watched Yunxi grow up. I understand Yunxi’s temperament. Master Feng, it would be better if you just admit defeat and give Yunxi as much as what she had won. After all, what you have done is already done. Moreover, your family runs a gambling house, and you should know the saying of ‘willing to accept the loss’ all the more.”

At this point, this road through the Crown Prince is impassable anymore.

This is also the reason why, although the Feng family belongs to the Crown Prince’s party, they have been unwilling to submit to the Crown Prince, and want their daughter to enter the palace as an Imperial Concubine instead, with the hope of giving birth to a prince.

Because between the Ji family and others, the Crown Prince will definitely choose the Ji family.

Feng Qishi hurriedly returned to the Feng Mansion, dragged his wife and said a lot in the room.

The next day, Feng Qishi’s wife entered the palace to meet her daughter.

Fourth Feng is now in the limelight in the imperial harem. His Majesty has turned over her sign for three days in a row. No one can match the grace she receives in the imperial harem for now.

Not long after Feng Guiren met her mother, she went to the imperial study to deliver chicken soup.

Before Feng Guiren entered the palace, she was actually still afraid. After all, the current Emperor is about the same age as her father.

But on that day of serving the Emperor on the bed, when she first saw the Emperor, Feng Guiren didn’t think so anymore.

Although the Emperor is a little bit older, he is also elegant and gentle. He has no airs in private and is very good to her.

Therefore, Feng Guiren became arrogant because she was spoiled. In the imperial study, she asked the Emperor to find a way to solve Ji Yunxi’s matter while throwing a tantrum.

Feng Guiren did this with confidence. She has seen all the concubines in the harem these days.

She felt that there was no one better looking than her.

The Chief Eunuch, who had been with the Emperor for many years, slowly withdrew from the imperial study and closed the door properly.

He thought, no matter how good the outer appearance is, without the inside, one would be tired of watching it after two days.

This Feng Guiren, afraid she won’t last long.

In the end, after three days passed, the Feng family did not find any way.

On the third day, the guards of the Ji Mansion arrived at the gate of the Feng Mansion early in the morning. The movement was so huge that many people were attracted to watch it.

The Feng family had no choice but to take out the money in the storehouse and piece it together. In the end, they collected about seventy thousand taels of gold and one hundred thousand taels of silver.

Feng Qishi and Fifth Feng didn’t show up. They only sent a housekeeper to negotiate.

Ji Yunxi and Wu Wei’an didn’t show up either. The person who came was the accountant of the Ji family. He told the Feng family’s housekeeper what Ji Yunxi meant: “Looking at the past relationship, Third Miss is willing to take a step back. The remaining money can be paid with the eight gambling houses in the Feng family’s hands.”

That’s right. What Ji Yunxi took a fancy on was actually the gambling house of the Feng family.

There is the saying of ‘Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime’. On the contrary, it is better to break a man’s skill to fish than to take away the fish.

…

At the Ji Mansion, in Ji Yunxi’s courtyard, Wu Wei’an looked at the gold in front of him and was not very happy.

Because it’s a lot less than he thought.

Wu Wei’an pursed his lips, raised his head and asked Ji Yunxi, who was sitting in the main seat drinking tea: “So, I can only get ten thousand taels of gold in the end?”

Ji Yunxi gently blew on the steaming tea: “There are still four gambling houses, which are also yours. I’m just running it on your behalf, and when the profits come, your accounts will be settled at that time.”
