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

"Are you threatening me?" Ji Xiaobei was very unconvinced when he saw the way he spoke.

The monk said nothing, but snorted with disdain.

"Donor, please go outside the shed. This is not the place for you." The young monk raised his voice and shouted at Ji Xiaobei.

Ji Xiaobei: So anxious!

She put down the teacup in her hand, secretly memorized the appearance, and waited to get a few sets for Zheng Guo.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard a cold voice outside: "How dare you! Don't be rude!"

A tall figure entered the shed.

"Master He!" The young monk lowered his head and said with a red face, "I didn't know I was Master He's guest. Amitabha..."

The eyes of the women behind were all directed at He Ye.

He Ye was dressed in official uniform, with a long sword on his back, standing at the door with dignity.

Ji Xiaobei also took a closer look. It was true that He was really handsome, but not as handsome as Fu Jichang.

She secretly imagined that Fu Jichang would look even more handsome in his official uniform.

Hey, I don’t even know what Xiaoyaozi is for. What kind of official uniform is he wearing?

He Ye felt a little embarrassed being stared at by a group of women, so he cleared his throat and said, "Miss Ji, I'm sorry for the offense. Please follow me to another shed!"

Ji Xiaobei then stood up and glanced at the women behind him. Just as he was about to raise his legs, he heard someone shouting from behind: "Ji, Miss Ji, why is it Miss Ji..."

Ji Xiaobei pretended to have just seen it, smiled and said, "Hello, Madam Song, hello, Madam Liang! I didn't expect to meet you here."

"The last time we met was at Sister Jiaojiao's birthday party. It's been a long time since we last met. He, Master He, why don't you let Miss Ji stay here so that we can talk to each other as sisters."

He Ye looked at Ji Xiaobei. He heard that the servant brought Ji Xiaobei to this shed, and he was afraid that the ladies would bully the stranger, so he hurried over.

as predicted……

"Sir He, then just listen to Madam Song. I will stay here." Ji Xiaobei took the hand that Madam Song handed over.

He Ye frowned and looked at Ji Xiaobei again, wanting to confirm.

"Mr. He, please go ahead and do your work! Ask someone to bring some good tea over. I'm going to drink my own tea!" Ji Xiaobei was not polite at all.

The ladies all widened their eyes.

How dare she give orders to Lord He, who is a celebrity admired by everyone in Anzhou?

What is the origin of this woman?

"Okay, wait a moment and I'll have someone bring it to you!" He Ye said, then strode away with his knife in hand.

So handsome! A little bit manly, but not quite right.

When Huang Po saw Ji Xiaobei's eyes widened, she hurriedly pinched her hand.

Not only Ji Xiaobei's eyes widened, but the group of women behind him also widened their eyes. Because Ji Xiaobei was there, they could only whisper.

"Is this Mr. He from the family of the Minister of War? Seeing is believing. Is he engaged?..."

"No, he has been at the Xishan Guard Station all the time. Minister He is so worried..."

"Oh my god..."

Ji Xiaobei pursed his lips and listened to their gossip.

After a while, they realized that they had neglected Ji Xiaobei. Madam Liang came over and said affectionately, "I haven't seen Jiaojiao for a long time. Let's make an appointment to go to her place. She hates loneliness the most."

Mrs. Liang has known Ji Xiaobei the longest, so she is naturally closer to him than Mrs. Song.

Madam Song chatted with the other women for a while and came over to ask, "Miss Ji, do you still have the dressing mirror you gave Madam Ruo last time? It's a really good thing."

"There should be more in a while. A new batch of goods will arrive from Jiaojiao in a few days. You can go over and pick them. By the way, my clothing store will open soon. Please take care of it when the time comes!"

Someone asked where the clothing store is?

Ji Xiaobei laughed and said, "Aren't we just looking for a suitable shop?"

The two most noble ladies in Anzhou surrounded Ji Xiaobei and asked him questions. The other women also stood beside Ji Xiaobei and listened in silence.

They really didn't recognize the real person just now. This plain-looking woman actually had a relationship with the young master of the He family.

She is also the sister of Mrs. Ruo, the richest man in Anzhou.

Mrs. Song and Mrs. Liang both respected her.

They all regretted it so much that they wished they could poke out their own eyes.

There was a noise outside.

"Minister Tong of the Ministry of Rites is holding a ceremony!"

Someone said something, not loudly, but the other women glanced at Mrs. Liang intentionally or unintentionally.

Mrs. Liang suddenly felt as if a thousand arrows were piercing her heart and she felt extremely uncomfortable all over.

That damn girl was really unlucky. She frightened her horse halfway through the journey and fell into the river. She refused to go home and even threatened to become a nun.

Mrs. Liang gritted her teeth, very angry.

Ji Xiaobei also looked outside, and sure enough, Minister Tong was an old man in his fifties.

Mrs. Liang actually let Liang Yuyao be the concubine of this old man. The stepmother is so vicious.

Ji Xiaobei looked towards Madam Liang.

Mrs. Liang lowered her head and said nothing, fiddling with the corner of her clothes.

At this time, the little maid beside her hurried in from outside and whispered a few words in her ear.

The anger on Mrs. Liang's face became even more intense.

She immediately stood up and said, "Mrs. Song, I'm going to go out for a while. I'll be gone for a while!"

Mrs. Song pursed her lips and smiled.

One of the women lowered her voice and said, "Do you know that Master Tong's concubine's son has not been found yet? I heard that Master Tong has searched the capital and Anzhou thoroughly, but no one knows where the child has gone."

"I heard that because of this matter, the Tong Mansion is in turmoil, and Master Tong wants to find a concubine to give birth to a child..."

The other man glanced toward the entrance of the shed.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Ji Xiaobei suddenly became excited.

Aqi's shadow flashed past the shed.

Ji Xiaobei's heart skipped a beat and he cried out, "Oh no!"

"Mom, Mrs. Huang, I need to go out for a while!" Ji Xiaobei stood up and said, "Mrs. Song, I need to go to the toilet..."

Mrs. Song was drinking tea when she spat out tea with a "puff" sound.

Why is Miss Ji so direct in her speech...

Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Lin followed Ji Xiaobei out one after another.

As expected, Aqi was not seen outside the shed.

Ji Xiaobei asked Huang Po and Lin Po to wait for her there, but they both refused.

Ji Xiaobei had no choice but to take them with him, and after many twists and turns, he finally found the two old ladies.

She wants to find Aqi.

Somehow, she was certain that Minister Tong was related to Aqi.

Xishan Temple is very large, so she has to go around to the back of the main temple, where are the guest rooms. After Minister Tong presides over the opening ceremony, he should go back to the guest rooms to rest.

Aqi is most likely over there.

She walked through two side halls and came to a corridor. She didn't see a single person along the way. People all went to the square in front of the main hall.

There is a pond on the west side of the corridor, with koi swimming around in it.

There were two people standing by the river. Upon closer inspection, they were Mrs. Liang and Liang Yuyao.

Ji Xiaobei stopped curiously.
