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

Fu Jichang had already prepared for the worst, and he asked Ji Xiaobei to take the children to accompany their grandmother through her last moments.

Ji Xiaobei: I really can’t leave Mingyi Lane…

"I originally wanted to come and stay for a few days. Guoguo and Zhengzheng also missed their grandma and kept clamoring to go back to see Grandma Fu..."

Ji Xiaobei said insincerely.

Fu Jichang's lifeless eyes suddenly lit up.

"That's great...why not move back now..."

Fu Jichang couldn't wait to say.

I don't know when Mrs. Lin came in.

"Oh, I live in this big manor, it feels like I live in a palace, I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I still prefer to live in a small courtyard, Xiaobei, let's go back!"

Ji Xiaobei: Oh my god, could you please knock on the door before you enter?

Fu Jichang nodded in agreement: "Aunt Lin, I will help you pack your things..."

Ji Xiaobei hurriedly called Fu Jichang: "Wait a moment, I have something else to do!"

Mrs. Lin flashed out of the door and slammed it shut.

"Song Lu's wife and Lei Qi's wife asked me to bring you something..." Ji Xiaobei said, pointing to a wooden box on the table.

Fu Jichang asked in confusion: "Mrs. Song Lu is looking for you? Who is Mrs. Lei Qi?"

"Mrs. Lei Qi is Murong Liu, the aunt of Murong Baoqian..."

Ji Xiaobei took the wooden box and pushed it in front of Fu Jichang.

Fu Jichang's face suddenly turned cold.

"If I take this, aren't they afraid that I will sue them for bribing officials?"

Ji Xiaobei hurriedly snatched the things back:

"If you don't want to accept it, then forget it. But don't sue them. I'll be in trouble if you implicate me. It's terrible to offend people like you. Just a few days ago, all the orders from the textile workshop were rejected. I almost had to close down. It was all because of that Princess Qing who appeared out of nowhere. Who knows how I offended her..."

Ji Xiaobei expressed all the unhappiness he had felt in the past few days.

She had to quickly return this hot potato to Mrs. Song. It was too hot.

"How do you know it's Princess Qing..." Fu Jichang asked in surprise.

He asked Xuyou to inquire, but there is no news yet.

"I... I haven't found the Mr. Lin under her. Only when I find him, everything will be clear."

Ji Xiaobei said bitterly.

Fu Jichang felt a surge of regret in his heart again.

Princess Qing must be causing trouble for Ji Xiaobei because of me. It seems that she has set her sights on the woman in Mingyi Lane.

Mingyi Lane is safer than Zhengguo Manor in East City.

It was an L-shaped alley, with one person standing at the entrance to the north and west sides of the alley, guarding the entrances on both sides, and no one could enter Mingyi Alley.

Fu Jichang felt that it was a wise choice to let Ji Xiaobei move there with the children.

As soon as he returned, he sent people to secretly guard the two alley entrances.

The two children happily got on the donkey cart and returned to Mingyi Lane.

Although Zhengguo Manor was nice, it was too big. The maids didn't allow us to walk around freely, saying there was water over there, or there were mountains over there. We were always restricted.

After two days they got bored.

Mingyi Lane is still the best place to wander around freely without any restrictions.

They can go to all the courtyards and know all the maids and servants.

Fu Jichang followed behind on his horse Ma Debiao.

In Mingyi Lane, Old Mrs. Fu closed her eyes and was angry.

No matter how much Nanny Zhang tried to persuade her, she refused to open her eyes or eat. She was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"Old lady, please open your eyes and eat a bite. How can you get better if you don't eat? The young master has already said that he will bring the two babies back when he has time..."

Aunt Zhang advised earnestly.

Old Mrs. Fu clenched her teeth and said nothing.

Nanny Zhang had obviously lost weight.

After Ji Xiaobei and his family moved out, the old lady became too annoying and ran to the yard where Ji Xiaobei and his family lived eight times a day.

Every time I went there, I came back empty-handed and wanted to go look for the kids.

Otherwise he refused to eat or drink water, which made Aunt Zhang want to kill herself.

The two were in a stalemate when they heard a series of hurried footsteps in the yard...

“Ancestor, Ancestor, we are back!”

The baby voices of Guoguo and Zhengzheng echoed in the yard.

Old Madam Fu squinted her eyes, scratched her ears, closed her eyes and asked, "Madam Zhang, am I dreaming?"

Nanny Zhang also scratched her ears, wondering if she had heard it wrong.

She stood up and looked outside.

"Oh, the savior is here, old lady, please get up quickly... the little ancestor is back..."

Old Lady Fu closed her eyes and shook her head: "Madame Zhang, don't lie to me!"

The two little babies ran up to Grandma Fu, put their little hands on her arms, and called out softly, "Grandma, Zheng Zheng Guo Guo is here!"

Old Mrs. Fu opened her eyes suddenly, and when she saw the two little babies in front of her, she grinned, and with the help of Nanny Zhang, she slowly sat up.

"My dearest darling, you are finally back..."

Old Mrs. Fu burst into tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Ji Xiaobei felt embarrassed: It seemed as if he was wrong...

Is it my fault that I took the child away?

Mrs. Fu had cried enough, and Aunt Zhang brought in three bowls of egg custard and said with a smile, "Come on, have dinner with Grandpa!"

The two little babies nodded in agreement and stretched out their hands to be wiped by the maid.

The old man and two children finished the egg custard in no time.

"Grandpa, Guoguo is just as good as you, he ate them all!"

……

Fu Jichang stood at the door and watched, his eyes were warm, and when he touched them with his hand, they were full of tears.

These three people are his eternal concern.

Turning his head and seeing Ji Xiaobei looking at him, he turned his head away embarrassedly and wiped away his tears.

"I'm investigating a case that may be related to the Murong family. Lord Song has invited me to tea many times but I have refused... There are many officials involved in this case. Once the truth is revealed, it may implicate a large number of court officials. In the future, you should have less contact with the Murong family."

Fu Jichang said.

Ji Xiaobei cursed in his heart: The Murong family and I only have business dealings. If Murong Baoqian doesn't come to cause trouble for me, there will be no more contact.

For some reason, Ji Xiaobei felt sad.

She couldn't help but ask, "Old Madam Murong wants to match you with Bao Qian. Is this also the reason?"

Fu Jichang did not answer, but looked at Ji Xiaobei meaningfully.

Ji Xiaobei sensed something was wrong and quickly changed the subject: "How are the potatoes growing in Xishan?"

Fu Jichang said: "The sweet potatoes and potatoes have already produced fruits. These days, Cao Da has led the people of the Minister of Agriculture to watch people weeding and turning the soil... Cao Da has made detailed records of the cultivation of potatoes. If the Great Northern Dynasty has such officials, the country will surely be peaceful and the people will be safe!"

"With officials like you, the Great Northern Dynasty will surely become a prosperous country with a strong people!"

Ji Xiaobei said sincerely that she knew Fu Jichang's identity and admired him from the bottom of her heart.

Fu Jichang was so excited after receiving the affirmation that the corners of his mouth twitched. He wanted to say something, but swallowed it back...
