I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Ji Xiaobei looked at him, wearing a dark robe, standing tall in the room, with sunken eye sockets and a handsome face that had become much thinner.

Fu Jichang suddenly asked, "Are you okay?"

Ji Xiaobei felt that the atmosphere was a bit stiff. It was completely different from when they were in Jijia Bay and it was a bit awkward.

She spread her hands, turned around and sat on the chair, squinting at him and said:

"Okay, very good. It seems that the food cooked by my mother and Huang Po is still nourishing. There are so many delicious foods and drinks in Anzhou, but they have made you into such a sticky person?

If you can't make it in Anzhou, just go back to Jijiawan. At least the shop can make money and you can get a share of it.

Ji Xiaobei's joking words made the two of them regain the state they were in Jijia Bay.

"Jijiawan is raising people!"

Fu Jichang's words were meaningful, and he did not forget to glance at Ji Xiaobei.

Ji Xiaobei slumped in the chair and rolled his eyes at him: Why are you looking at me?

Fu Jichang asked a few questions about the villagers and then started talking about Old Mrs. Fu.

"Thank you for taking care of my grandmother!"

Fu Jichang said sincerely, "I just came to Anzhou and was too busy with official duties to take care of my family. I am sorry for causing her suffering and also causing trouble for you!"

Ji Xiaobei hesitated to talk. After all, it was Xiaoyao's family's private affairs, and it would not be good for him to say too much.

She only said: "You should go home more often to visit the old lady."

Fu Jichang's eyes were warmed. He wanted to go home too, but he couldn't go home often at the moment.

So as not to cause trouble to the family.

He still nodded.

"The old lady's health is getting worse and worse. I heard that she spilled her medicine this morning and even beat someone up!"

A trace of guilt and heartache flashed across Fu Jichang's face.

"After my mother passed away, I went to my grandmother's yard. She was the one who accompanied me growing up. Now she is old, and I can do nothing about it... There are only Madam Gui and the old lady at home. The old lady can't help but get lonely and angry..."

Ji Xiaobei listened silently and actually felt a little sorry for the man in front of him.

Although I don't know what official business he is busy with, judging from his black boots and clothes, he should be an official.

Ji Xiaobei didn't want to ask more about his private affairs.

If he spoke, she would listen; if he didn't speak, she wouldn't ask.

"The old lady still needs a doctor to take another look!"

Ji Xiaobei said this and glanced at Fu Jichang.

Fu Jichang said: "The doctor who treated the old lady was the former palace doctor. He is familiar with the old lady's body and has always treated her well!"

"Well, is the medicine also prescribed by the court doctor?"

"After my father passed away, my grandmother and Madam Gui came to Anzhou and sent away all the servants in the house. The court doctor found another job in Anzhou, and every time he was asked to come and see the patient, the servants in the house would go and get the medicine."

"Oh, since the old lady is not in good health, we should change doctors!"

Ji Xiaobei's words were vague.

Based on Fu Jichang's understanding of Ji Xiaobei, although this woman is often out of touch, she will not be vague when encountering problems.

"Xiaobei! It's been a while since you moved here. Do you think something is wrong?"

Fu Jichang asked with a frown.

This was the first time Fu Jichang called her Xiaobei.

When they were in Jijiawan, he called her Dongjia in normal times and Ji Xiaobei when he was angry.

Ji Xiaobei felt a little uncomfortable because his surname was not included this time.

"No, you'd better be more careful!"

Ji Xiaobei evaded the question.

After she asked Jiaojiao's family doctor to look at the drug residue and the medicine soup, she was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to find the young master of the Fu family and tell him everything she knew.

However, Jiaojiao's words made her feel afraid.

She herself was not afraid, but Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Lin came from the countryside and didn't have so many twists and turns.

They live so close to Madam Gui, who is a vicious woman...

Ji Xiaobei didn't dare to think further...

In Jijiawan, Ji Xiaobei is a straight woman who speaks her mind and cannot be persuaded to be gay.

But in Anzhou where she had no relatives, she advised herself not to be too straightforward.

Fu Jichang saw that Ji Xiaobei was distracted and became suspicious. He asked:

"Why did you come to Anzhou?"

Ji Xiaobei had already thought of a response plan: "The last time I came here, Jiaojiao asked me to consider expanding my business to Anzhou. I am here to look for opportunities."

"You brought two old ladies here to look for business opportunities?"

Fu Jichang exposed her with just one sentence.

Ji Xiaobei laughed and said, "My mother loves me and is afraid that I won't have enough to eat, so she insisted on coming with me. Grandma Huang loves me and is afraid that I will get sick, so she cried and shouted to come with me."

Fu Jichang: You are fooling a fool!

Ji Xiaobei: Yes!

Ji Xiaobei wanted to remind him to be careful of Madam Gui, but the words did not come out.

After all, it is an ugly thing. Who would want to make the family's disgrace public?

Let him discover it himself!

Fu Jichang: "Xiaobei!"

Ji Xiaobei: "You should just call me Ji Xiaobei. When you call me Xiaobei, I feel like you have something to ask of me!"

Fu Jichang: "How do you know? I really have something to ask of you!"

Ji Xiaobei thought to himself: Damn it, whatever you fear will come true!

She didn't want old lady Fu to stay in her house. Two old ladies were already difficult to serve, and with three old ladies together, it would be difficult for her to survive.

"No, no, I can't take care of your grandmother. You should take her back and take care of her!"

Fu Jichang: "Boss, I can only ask you for help on this matter. You are the most reliable!"

Ji Xiaobei: "Your boss is really unreliable!"

Fu Jichang pulled out a purse from his bosom and took out a jade pendant: "I'll pledge this to you. When I ask the Black Tower to send silver, you can redeem it!"

"This is worth...worth a thousand gold..."

Fu Jichang paused and said.

Ji Xiaobei glanced at the purse and felt amused: a grown man holding a pink purse in his arms, he must be in love with a woman.

She picked up the jade. It was a really good piece of jade, smooth, warm, extremely transparent, and still carrying his body temperature.

When Fu Jichang saw Ji Xiaobei looking at the jade, he thought she was unwilling.

"I can give this to you, right?" Fu Jichang took out two pieces of gold from his body.

“No, this…”

"Not enough?" Fu Jichang raised his eyebrows provocatively and asked.

"No, it's too much!"

Ji Xiaobei felt a little embarrassed, because the piece of jade was obviously his most beloved thing.

The fact that he was able to take it out shows his sincerity, so how could he have the nerve to ask for more gold?

"Too much?" Fu Jichang was surprised by Ji Xiaobei's answer.

She is a woman who is obsessed with money, and she even complains about having too much gold.

"Then I will..." Fu Jichang reached out to take the gold back.

Ji Xiaobei stretched out his arm, swept his big hand, and two pieces of gold went into her arms.

"Not much, I mean not much gold, hahahaha..."

Ji Xiaobei laughed a few times.

Fu Jichang retracted his smile, stood up, nodded slightly to Ji Xiaobei and said, "I'll leave grandma to the boss!"

"Just focus on your official duties. I'm always here at home... ah, no, I'm always here with your grandmother!"

Ji Xiaobei said with a giggle.

This made her feel more at ease. If Fu Jichang really sent the old lady back, she would definitely stop him.

We can't let the old lady fall into the tiger's mouth.

"Don't let the Fu family know the old lady's whereabouts..." said Fu Jichang.
