Ji Yunxi narrowed her eyes: “Feng Qishi’s Brother-in-law has an escort bureau in the capital, which is quite big and makes a lot of money.”
She paused, sat up from the bed and crossed her knees. Then she faced him and said sternly: “I want to rob the escort.”
Wu Wei’an turned his head to look over.
The room was dark but Ji Yunxi’s eyes were surprisingly bright in the hazy night, and they seemed to be on fire.
He couldn’t hold back, the laugh rippled up from his heart, and his chest vibrated.
Ji Yunxi frowned inexplicably and said: “What are you laughing at?”
Wu Wei’an pulled away the laugh: “It’s nothing.”
Ji Yunxi repeated again: “I want to rob the escort.”
Wu Wei’an seems to be really sleepy.
He let out a low hum, and his voice was stained with fatigue. Then he said again with a bit of laziness and casualness: “Then just rob it.”
The night outside was quiet and the moon hung high.
From the other side of the artificial lake came the sound of frogs croaking.
Half of the windows in the room were left open, and the night wind passed by, flicking the window grilles with the word ‘囍’ pasted on the windows.
Ji Yunxi sat cross-legged on the bed with her head slightly tilted and began to plan how to rob the escort. She said: “All the people I have are in the open. They can’t be used.”
She opened pawnshops and auction houses, and naturally hired Jianghu people with excellent martial arts.
But these people, she is afraid that they are already being targeted by the palace since long ago, so she must act cautiously.
Wu Wei’an closed his eyes and his voice became more and more low: “I know, I will arrange it.”
Ji Yunxi was satisfied: “I heard that the escort bureau received several big businesses a few years ago. I guess they will go outside the capital in a few days. I will ask Wan Xiang to confirm it again tomorrow, and I will tell you after the confirmation.”
“Alright.” Wu Wei’an replied.
Although her tone was still uneven, he could still hear a bit of interest in it.
A slight helplessness appeared on Wu Wei’an’s face, but unfortunately Ji Yunxi didn’t see it in the dark.
The corners of his lips curled slightly: “Can Madam fall asleep now?”
Ji Yunxi felt relieved this time. She lay down again and said lightly: “Yes.”
Wu Wei’an hummed in a low voice: “Go to sleep then.”
Ji Yunxi said alright, turned her body towards the inner side, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.

As long as she is in a calm mood, she will fall asleep quickly.
On the other hand, Wu Wei’an was half asleep and half awake all night.
He is a martial artist with strong five senses. He could hear Ji Yunxi’s shallow breathing clearly and he could also smell the faint fragrance drifting from her body.
It was just dawn, and Compiler Wu, who had to go to the Imperial Academy, got up.
He moved very lightly and didn’t wake the sleeping person on the bed.
The stable is in the backyard, and Wu Wei’an went to lead the horse himself.
Originally, there was only one horse in the family, but because Ji Yunxi came, the Ferghana horse that pulled the carriage for Ji Yunxi also came.
When the Ferghana horse and the Wu family’s thin horse stood together, the contrast was really tragic.
One has a head that is powerful and magnificent, and its hair color is extremely bright.
The other has a bony head, and its hair color is so dull.
Seeing someone coming, the Ferghana horse gave Wu Wei’an a condescending look with the big copper bell eyes, and ignored him. The Wu family’s thin horse didn’t respond and seemed to be still sleeping.
Without much hesitation, Wu Wei’an went to lead the Ferghana horse.
There should be no problem for him to use his wife’s carriage, right?
Unfortunately, he failed to pull it. The horse didn’t listen to his command, and its hooves seemed to be nailed to the ground, motionless.
Wu Wei’an raised his eyebrows, and just as he was about to exert force on his hands, Baofu came over in person with a large pile of grass in her arms, and rolled her eyes so high towards the sky: “Cough, cough. Good morning, Guye.”
