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

Even though his shortcoming was exposed, Ji Xiaobei was not angry at all. He laughed and said, "Third Aunt, if you keep saying that, I won't eat it. Really, I don't like meat..."

The women no longer understood what Ji Xiaobei was saying. No matter whether it was shift one or shift two, they just had to eat.

I don’t know when, a saying spread among the women of Jijiawan: Being able to eat is a blessing. Look at Ji Xiaobei, it is because of his ability to eat that he has such a great blessing.

Ji Xiaobei: ...Thank you, aunties!

Mrs. Lin on the side had red eyes.

She dreamed of Ji Xiaobei's father last night.

Today, when they mentioned him again, Mrs. Lin felt a little sad.

Life is better now, Shitou is married, and it is only a matter of time before Xiaobei and Xiaoyao get together.

If the old man saw this, he would be so happy.

She had long wanted to talk to Ji Xiaobei and ask Xiaoyao to help find her father Ji Daniu.

What if he’s not dead?

As she gets older and her children have started their own families, she feels a little lonely.

She pulled Xiaobei aside and told him what she was thinking.

Ji Xiaobei agreed immediately.

I agreed verbally, but thought to myself that now was not the right time.

Fu Jichang can hardly protect himself, so let's wait until everything is peaceful.

Seeing that her daughter agreed, Mrs. Lin hurriedly asked the women to boil hot water.

Late at night.

Ji Xiaobei, Fu Jichang and He Ye spent half the night discussing the matter while looking at the map under the oil lamp.

"Xiaobei, it's too dangerous for you to retreat from here. There is a cliff behind the mountain. You can't take any risks. This road is blocked." Fu Jichang said, pointing to a small path on the map.

Ji Xiaobei said firmly: "We must retreat from this path. I will definitely protect myself, don't worry!"

How could Fu Jichang feel at ease? He had led people to chase criminals on that road before. The road was winding and rugged, with cliffs on both sides. If one was not careful, they would fall into the abyss.

He saw with his own eyes one of his men slip off the roadside, and even his body was not found.

How could he let Ji Xiaobei lead the bad guys down this path alone?

"You two stop arguing. I'll take Xuyou and Yongheng to lead them away. Miss Ji, you lead your men to flank them from this road."

He Ye saw the two arguing and rubbed his brows and said.

"No, He Ye, you can't go. It's too dangerous!" Fu Jichang was unwilling to involve He Ye.

"I'm already in the game and I can't get out..." He Ye patted Fu Jichang on the shoulder.

"Okay, I have my reasons for doing this, so stop talking."

Ji Xiaobei's face turned cold.

Fu Jichang wanted to say something, but he saw Ji Xiaobei's eyes, which were as vicious as the one that beat him that night.

He swallowed his words and frowned at the map, hoping to come up with another solution.

In the end, none of the three could come up with any other solution, so they could only agree to Ji Xiaobei's plan.

He Ye was feeling very nervous. If Ji Xiaobei failed, he would be dead.

Those around her will also suffer.

"Why don't you think about it again, Miss Ji..." He Ye broke out in a cold sweat on the back of his neck.

As the emperor's personal guard, Fu Jichang could not leave the entourage.

He was helpless and all he could do was to be ready to support Ji Xiaobei at any time.

"Since I said so, I must be sure. Besides, I am the commander of the 1000 guards of the young prince."

Ji Xiaobei said this as he took out a jade token from his pocket.

Fu Jichang and He Ye were both stunned.

The young prince actually gave his personal guard to Ji Xiaobei?

Every prince has his own personal guards, and Li Yunjiong is no exception.

He usually leaves it to his martial arts master to manage.

The emperor's four sons have had their own martial arts masters since childhood.

The selection of martial arts masters is quite strict. They must be of similar age to the princes, have a simple background, have practiced martial arts since childhood, and be hardworking and able to endure hardships.

The young prince’s martial arts master is called Tong Yi, and Fu Jichang also knows him.

At that time, Fu Jichang's father was on duty in the Hanlin Academy, and Li Yunjiong and his master were inseparable.

Fu Jichang followed his father to the Hanlin Academy, and the three of them played together.

"Have you met Tong Qinwei?" Fu Jichang asked.

He was grateful to the young prince, but a slight sour feeling passed through his heart.

"I saw him yesterday. The young prince brought him here." Ji Xiaobei said truthfully.

"The one thousand men led by Master Tong are all elite soldiers and the young prince has never used them." He Ye said admiringly.

"So, don't worry!" Ji Xiaobei said with a smile.

Fu Jichang felt that he was useless. Whenever he encountered problems, he always asked Ji Xiaobei for help, with a little loss in his eyes.

Since no solution could be reached, He Ye left the house in time.

They were the only two people left in the room.

The atmosphere suddenly became strange.

Fu Jichang said with a hint of melancholy and helplessness in his eyes: "Thank you, Xiaobei, I don't know how to thank you.

Seeing his desolate look, Ji Xiaobei said without any sympathy: "He Ye is helping you because of the relationship between you two. I am helping you out of selfish motives. I don't want the children to lose their father."

Fu Jichang looked at Ji Xiaobei with deep eyes, as if asking: Don’t you have any feelings for me?

Ji Xiaobei looked stubborn: Yes, but not much.

Fu Jichang reached out and wanted to pull her into his arms, just like that night.

But before her hand touched him, there was a sound of footsteps at the door.

Two little brats rushed in.

"Mother...dear..."

"mother……"

The two children were sweating profusely from running, and they rushed over and hugged Ji Xiaobei's legs.

Guoguo turned around and hugged Fu Jichang's legs.

"Uncle Fu, where have you been? I haven't seen you for a long time." Guoguo asked, raising her fair little face.

Fu Jichang felt a warm feeling in his heart and picked her up and held her in his arms.

Guoguo's clothes were bulging like a small ball.

"Uncle Fu is busy with official business..." Fu Jichang said as he took out two small wooden dolls from his sleeves.

A fat little rabbit and a cute little bear.

He let go of Ji Xiaobei's legs and ran over.

Ji Xiaobei gritted his teeth: ...Xiaoyaozi, what are you doing? Is this how you bribe a child?

Surrounded by two children, Fu Jichang's depressed mood was swept away, and he smiled and hugged one child with each hand.

Ji Xiaobei: ...Okay, you guys go ahead and have fun, I’m redundant.

She lifted her legs and walked out the door.

Guoguo shouted to her: "Goodbye, mother!"

Ji Xiaobei: ...Thank you, you are truly my own daughter.

White-eyed wolf!

Ji Xiaobei took a few steps back, picked up the map on the table, and returned to his yard.

The room was basically empty, with only a few daily items left.

Ji Xiaobei looked around and felt a little sad.

The once bustling Mingyi Lane, ah!

Fu Jichang listened to Ji Xiaobei's footsteps walking away.

"Uncle Fu, I want a magic wand...my sister has one, but I don't..."

Zheng Zheng said after sniffing his nose.

This was the first time Zheng Zheng took the initiative to ask for something.

Fu Jichang felt that Zhengzheng was not close to him and there was a gap between the two of them.

He picked up Zheng Zheng and stroked his round head and said, "Okay, I must make one for you. Can you wait a few days?"

Zheng Zheng nodded sensibly.

Fu Jichang hugged the two children, hesitated for a while and said: "Guoguo, have you forgotten the secret between you and me?"

Guoguo tilted his head, thought about it, and shook his head.

"What is it?" Fu Jichang glanced out the window.

"Daddy!" Guoguo called out crisply.
