Ji Wushang nodded at her.
Ji Wusi then asked, "Sister, is this my sister-in-law? Brother, is this my sister-in-law?"
“Yes, Wu Zi, come here and greet your sister-in-law.” Ji Wushang pulled Ji Wusi over and said gently.
Ji Wusi nodded, then looked at Mo Qiqi, and then at Ji Tiankui, and said, "Congratulations, elder brother and sister-in-law!"
"Wu Zi is so well-behaved," Mo Qiqi said with a smile.
“That’s right, my eldest sister really likes Wu Zi. She usually doesn’t want to bring him out, but today everyone got to see him.” Ji Tiankui smiled.
Ji Wusi looked at Ji Tiankui and said, "Big brother, I've grown up. Can I join the army and go to the battlefield with you in the future?" He looked at Ji Tiankui seriously, hoping for an answer.
Ji Tiankui was startled. This was the first time he had ever heard his younger brother speak so boldly. Ji Wushang looked at him, hoping he would agree, as it was his wish. If Ji Wusi could gain experience on the frontier, his future would be secure.
"Alright, I promise you." Ji Tiankui nodded. "Later, you'll demonstrate a few sets of boxing moves for me in the courtyard, okay?"
“Okay!” Ji Wusi nodded immediately.
Mo Qiqi looked at the two brothers. Although one was older and the other younger, they had very similar personalities. She was pleased and did not stop them.
Ji Wushang observed her expression and tried to understand her thoughts. Seeing that she showed no disgust, he finally felt relieved. From now on, he could truly rest easy.
Mo Qiqi couldn't help but feel strange seeing that only one young lady was left standing behind her.
Of course, Ji Meiyuan was still resting in bed; she was exhausted from last night! As for Ji Yinxue, she had been confined to the Orchid Garden and naturally couldn't see it.
Ji Tiankui knew what she was thinking, but he still pulled her to Ji Wuxia's side. "Come here, this is my third sister, nicknamed Wuxia."
"Greetings to my elder brother and sister-in-law," Ji Wuxia said sweetly with a smile, her lips smeared with honey.
Mo Qiqi nodded, "Thank you, Third Sister."
Ji Wuxia then gave Mo Qiqi a pair of jade ruyi scepters and some jewelry, which Mo Qiqi politely accepted and returned some gifts in return.
The crowd gradually dispersed. Ji Wushang sat in the courtyard with Mo Qiqi, enjoying some snacks. Not far away, Ji Wusi and Ji Tiankui were sparring.
Ji Wusi was eager to demonstrate his abilities to Ji Tiankui, fearing that Ji Tiankui would not allow him to be with him, so he practiced his boxing with extra effort.
While patiently instructing them, Ji Tiankui would occasionally glance at his wife, Mo Qiqi, and Ji Wushang in the distance.
Ji Wushang took a small pastry and smiled at Mo Qiqi, "Sister-in-law, if I, Ji Wushang, get married in the future, please help take care of Wuzi. My mother died early, leaving Wuzi all alone. Now, I am fourteen years old and have not been able to do anything for Wuzi. In the future, I will have to rely on you to take care of him."
Upon hearing this, Mo Qiqi understood Ji Wushang's meaning. Seeing Ji Tiankui and Ji Wusi practicing their boxing so intently, she nodded and said, "Big sister, you can rest assured. Wuzi is my brother. How could I not take good care of him?"
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Ji Wushang smiled.
"Hey, what brings you here to chat? Sister-in-law, elder sister," Ji Wuxia said from a distance, and immediately came over.
Ji Wushang smiled. Was he about to put on an act?
☆、118 Wrath! Someone wants to kill the young lady!
Ji Wuxia arrived with a grin, and Mo Qiqi looked at her and laughed, "Aren't we just going to play together?"
"Yes!" Ji Wushang smiled. "How is Second Sister doing now? Eldest Sister-in-law hasn't seen Second Sister yet!"
Ji Wuxia listened with a smile on her face, "Second sister is fine, she took some medicine and went to sleep."
"Oh? What happened?" Mo Qiqi had no idea what was going on in the mansion, let alone the infighting among the sisters.
"My second sister isn't feeling well," Ji Wushang smiled. "Luckily, it was discovered in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"That's right, that's right." Ji Wuxia's face showed a hint of displeasure. Was this older sister trying to embarrass the two of them? Humph!
Mo Qiqi looked at Ji Wushang, then glanced at Ji Wuxia, and for a moment she didn't know what to do, so she could only nod.
"Wow, I didn't expect Wu Zi to have grown so tall. It's been so many days since I last saw him. He has really grown a lot!" Ji Wuxia turned her gaze to Ji Wusi in the distance. Ji Wushang's eyes immediately darkened. "Of course, Wu Zi is well-fed and well-dressed. As his older sister, I keep an eye on him at all times. I think if anyone dares to make a move on Wu Zi, I, Ji Wushang, will definitely twist their head off."
"So, eldest sister is really amazing." Ji Wuxia covered her mouth and giggled.
Ji Wushang rolled his eyes at her, his meaning being a warning: don't even think about touching a hair on Ji Wusi's head, or he wouldn't let her off the hook!
Mo Qiqi looked at the two of them, then at Ji Wusi, and sighed inwardly. She had married into a place where women fought each other. Fortunately, these young ladies would eventually get married, and she could finally relax a little after they were married.
"I was just joking. Actually, Wu Zi has learned some martial arts now, and none of the kids at the outside school dare to mess with him! He hasn't gone looking for trouble either. Wu Zi is really reassuring." Ji Wushang praised him, thinking, "That rascal, he just knows how to annoy people!"
Mo Qiqi nodded, "What a good child."
Ji Wuxia fawned over Mo Qiqi and then started to flirt with her. Ji Wushang felt disgusted watching this, so he left his seat and went to Ji Wusi's side to watch him practice boxing.
Watching Ji Wushang walk away, Ji Wuxia said, "Sister-in-law, let me tell you a secret. It's because my eldest sister spoils Wu Zi too much that I heard rumors circulating the other day that Wu Zi broke someone's head. Luckily, he had to pay a lot of money to settle the matter..."
"Go on. It's very interesting." Ji Wushang had somehow appeared behind Ji Wuxia, who was completely stunned. "Big sister, didn't you go to see Wu Zi?"
"Go on, this is so exciting, how could I miss it?" Ji Wushang sneered twice.
At this moment, Mo Qiqi looked at Ji Wushang, saw the cold smile on her lips, and noticed the panic in Ji Wuxia's eyes. It was clear who was stirring up trouble.
"No, no..." Ji Wuxia said softly.
"Wu Zi, come here!" Ji Wushang said to the two men, one big and one small, not far away.
Upon hearing Ji Wushang call for help, Ji Wusi immediately stopped punching and kicking, and looked at Ji Tiankui, "Big brother, sister is calling me."
"Go ahead!" Ji Tiankui wiped his sweat with his sleeve, then saw his wife and two younger sisters sitting together. Thinking they had something to discuss, he followed Ji Wusi to Ji Wushang's side.
Ji Wushang pulled Ji Wusi over and said, "Your third sister just said that because I spoil you, you broke someone's head a while ago and had to pay a lot of money in compensation. Is that true?"
Ji Wusi frowned as she listened, her eyes narrowing as she looked at Ji Wuxia. "Third Sister is talking nonsense! How could Wuzi do such a thing!"
Ji Tiankui, who was standing to the side, was also taken aback. How could someone say such a thing?
"Third sister, how do you explain this? Can't you explain to me that this was a joke you and sister-in-law played?" Ji Wushang's face darkened. If he didn't expose Ji Wuxia's true colors to Mo Qiqi today, she'd be bullied by her for life! Of all the things to do, she had to target Wu Zi! Was she trying to ruin Wu Zi's image in her sister-in-law's eyes? How despicable!
"Big sister, this, this really was a joke between me and you..." Ji Wuxia was in the wrong at this moment, and seeing Ji Wushang's anger, she naturally dared not say anything more.
"You're lying!" Ji Wusi glared at her fiercely. "You must have ill intentions and are trying to slander me! Humph!" Ji Wusi pouted and then hid behind Ji Wushang.
Ji Wushang looked at her and said, "Slap yourself." Her tone was calm, but it left no room for argument.
Mo Qiqi glanced at Ji Wushang. Was this punishment really necessary? A slap in the face? "Miss, I think we should just let it go. Third Sister didn't mean it," Mo Qiqi said.
Ji Wushang sneered, "Wuxin? I think if I hadn't returned here in time, I wonder what Third Sister would have said to Eldest Sister-in-law? This Ji General's Mansion is all about rules. If we, the masters, don't abide by them, then what authority do we have to discipline the servants? Wouldn't this Ji General's Mansion fall into chaos?"
"Elder sister, please forgive me this time. I was just being playful. I meant no harm." Ji Wuxia knelt down in front of Ji Wushang. At this moment, Ji Tiankui said, "Elder sister, please forgive your third sister this time. Everyone knows that Wuzi is very obedient. I just tested his skills and he is a promising talent. In the future, I will definitely help teach Wuzi his kung fu."
Ji Wushang glanced at Ji Tiankui. Since that's what he said, he would give them face. If they did anything to harm Wu Zi in the future, he would not let them off easily!
"Get up. From now on, if you say anything out of line, whether you're joking or not, you'll be severely punished!" Ji Wushang snorted.
Ji Wuxia felt resentment, but dared not speak again. She could only watch as someone made an excuse and then hurriedly left.
Ji Wushang glanced in the direction Ji Wuxia had left before saying, "Sigh, I just didn't want everyone to hurt Wuzi. After all, he's my only younger brother." Ji Wushang sighed, then pulled Ji Wusi close and hugged him tightly.
Ji Wusi kissed Ji Wushang's face, "Sister, don't cry. Wuzi is fine. Wuzi will definitely listen to sister, not cause trouble, do his homework diligently, and practice his kung fu seriously."
Ji Wushang nodded. Wiping away his tears, he said to Mo Qiqi and Ji Tiankui, "I'm sorry to have bothered you, elder brother and sister-in-law. Wu Zi is tired, I'll take him back to rest first."
“Go!” Ji Tiankui nodded. Ji Wushang was deeply moved by the sibling affection between Ji Wusi and his sister. “Wuzi, come to your older brother’s place to practice often, understand? Don’t let your older sister worry.”
"Yes." Ji Wusi nodded, then looked at Mo Qiqi and said, "Farewell, sister-in-law." With that, he took Ji Wushang's hand and walked away together.
Ji Wushang nodded to say goodbye.
Ji Tiankui watched Ji Wushang and Ji Wusi walk away before gently embracing his wife. "What happened just now didn't frighten you, did it? My sister is just that kind of person; she cares a lot about Wuzi's growth."
"I feel that Miss has done a really good job. She cares a lot about Wu Zi, and I like Wu Zi very much too." Mo Qiqi leaned on Ji Tiankui's shoulder with a slightly shy expression.
“Yes, we need to take better care of Wu Zi from now on. He’s had a tough time. He’s still so young, and Madam Bei has already passed away. Sigh.” Ji Tiankui looked at Mo Qiqi. “However, you should get less involved in the things between the sisters.”
Mo Qiqi nodded. Today's events had given her a preliminary understanding of General Ji's mansion. "I will remember what my husband said."
Ji Wushang brought Ji Wusi back to his Xinyuan Garden, ordered the maid to change him into a dry set of clothes, and then let him sleep in the room.
Ji Wushang was also exhausted. He sat on the edge of the bed and fell asleep leaning against it.
Ji Dingbei was in his study at the time, listening to Steward Lin report on the affairs of the mansion, while Aunt Xie sat on the side, occasionally adding to the news about what was happening in the mansion.
After the report, Steward Lin stood aside. Ji Dingbei nodded, checked some account books, and, finding nothing amiss, dismissed Steward Lin. At this moment, Aunt Xie looked at Ji Dingbei with seductive eyes, stepped forward, and sat down next to him. "Master, you've been back for so long, have you missed me?"
"You woman, are you teasing me again?" Ji Dingbei laughed, pulling her into his arms. "During the days I was away from the manor, I was so grateful to have you. You stayed by my mother's side for a long time, living a life of luxury and chanting Buddhist scriptures, enduring many hardship days. I know this wasn't your intention, but you were able to get through it, which I truly admire."
"It is my honor to take care of the old lady, and the fact that the master can entrust me with the important affairs of the inner courtyard shows his trust in me. Why wouldn't I be happy to do so? However, as you know, the Northern Madam has been gone for a month or two. We have already done what needed to be done."
But, as the saying goes, the inner courtyard needs a mistress of the house to make the whole mansion perfect. Aunt Xie's cherry lips moved slightly as she spoke. After saying this, she reached out her small hand and touched Ji Dingbei's chest, gently rubbing it through his clothes.
Ji Dingbei grasped her fidgeting little hand and said with a lowered gaze, "What you said makes a lot of sense, and indeed, this General's Mansion has several hundred people, which needs to be managed properly. Before, Luo'er was not feeling well, but she was virtuous and managed the inner quarters. And now, you are also working hard. How about this, if Wushang doesn't object, I will choose an auspicious day to make you the official wife. Among these concubines, you are the most suitable."
"Master." Aunt Xie called out excitedly, then leaned forward and offered her cherry lips.
Ji Dingbei was only focused on suppressing Japanese pirates along the southeast coast, so he had no time for any romantic encounters. But now that Aunt Xie was seducing him, he could no longer resist. He picked her up and carried her straight to the couch in the study. He put Aunt Xie on the couch and pressed himself against her, and they made love.
But at the height of their passion, they heard someone shouting outside, followed by someone calling out, "Aunt Qin? Master is resting."
"I was just thinking of Master, so I came to see him," said Aunt Qin.
Hearing this from inside the room, Ji Dingbei became aroused and remained motionless inside Aunt Xie. Aunt Xie, however, felt a pang of sadness. She had also heard the conversation outside, but it had been so long since she and Ji Dingbei had made love! Damn it, how she longed for a child! To have another son or daughter would be wonderful!
"It's Fu'er." Ji Dingbei said in a slightly hoarse voice, and as he spoke, he thought of leaving.
But how could Aunt Xie let him go? She grabbed him and immediately his thing pierced Aunt Xie hard. Aunt Xie's feeling was indescribable, while Ji Dingbei was stimulated by this feeling and slowly started moving again.
"Don't stop, just a little while." Aunt Xie said in a low voice, her forehead covered in sweat, and then grabbed his back to provoke him.
Ji Dingbei lost control and tried even harder.
"Has something happened inside?" Aunt Qin asked the guard with concern, "I'll go in and check."
"Madam, the master is resting. Please do not disturb him." The guard was in a difficult position. Could he tell Madam Qin that the master was resting with Madam Xie?
"Rest? Why do I hear some noises!" Aunt Qin wondered. Could it be that Ji Dingbei brought back some women from somewhere?
"Don't stop me, you damned thing!" Aunt Qin was furious and slapped the guard across the face. While the guard covered his face, Aunt Qin pushed open the door and went inside.
Ji Dingbei wanted to back out, but Aunt Xie held him back, refusing to let him leave. She wanted to show Aunt Qin today, hoping to make her back down!
When Aunt Qin entered, she was surprised to see Ji Dingbei vigorously moving on Aunt Xie's body!
The guard rushed in and saw the three astonished people. Aunt Qin turned around and immediately slapped the guard across the other side of his face in anger before running away.
The guard was completely stunned; this was a terrible death!
