"You bad woman, what right do you have to say that to my aunt!" Gong Ziyu was gasping for breath behind Madam Wu Ji. In fact, he didn't understand a lot of what Ji Wan said, but at least he saw Ji Wan beating his aunt, so she was a bad woman!

Gong Ziyu rushed towards Ji Wan like a calf, with his head lowered and his body bent.

Ji Wan was caught off guard and was hit in the abdomen by him, and she took three steps back.

"Gong Ziyu, you're crazy!" Gong Yuanzheng ran over like a whirlwind and pushed Gong Ziyu.

"If she bullies my aunt, I will hit her, and I will also ask my father to punish her!" Gong Ziyu shouted righteously.

"It was your aunt who talked nonsense. If anyone is to be punished, it should be your aunt!" Gong Langjiao also came over and held Ji Wan's arm.

"You're talking nonsense! My aunt won't be punished!" Gong Ziyu's eyes turned red as he was about to hit Gong Langjiao again.

Would Gong Shangjiao agree to that? He punched Gong Ziyu in the face!

The four grown boys started fighting each other, three against one, and Gong Ziyu was the one who got beaten mainly.

"Rebellion, they've all rebelled!" The three elders covered their chests, looking like they were about to faint.

Ji Wan straightened her clothes and saw that Gong Ziyu's face was covered with blood. Then she said to the maid beside her: "Fuling, pull them apart."

Fuling was one of the dowries that Ji Wan brought from Yaowang Valley, and her martial arts skills were top-notch.

The previous positions were restored in the hall.

"This is what is happening. I think no one should have any objections now, right?" Ji Wan controlled the whole situation.

Gong Hongyu waved his hand with a toothache: "Do whatever you want, but remember one thing, don't damage the reputation of the palace. And you can only send someone to send Gong Lingshang, but you can't go in person."

Ji Wan thought, does the palace still have such a thing as face?

Besides, she had no intention of making the trip herself, as the Shang Palace still needed her to be in charge. She would let Fuling and her maid who knew medical skills lead the team to send A Ling to Yaowang Valley.

Just before she came to the Blade Hall, she had already sent someone to deliver a letter to Medicine King Valley. Presumably, the people coming from Medicine King Valley to pick them up would meet the team going from the palace gate halfway, so the safety factor would be higher.

After leaving the Blade Holding Hall, Gong Qijiao said to Ji Wan, "Why don't I take someone to send A Ling to Medicine King Valley?"

Ji Wan felt warm in her heart and bowed slightly to Gong Qijiao: "Thank you for your kindness, Palace Master Jiao, but Madam Ling's funeral is not over yet. How can I trouble you at this time? I appreciate your kindness, but I have already made preparations, and the team will set off today."

Gong Qijiao did not insist and just said that if there was anything, he could send someone to Jiaogong to find him.

If Yang Mei were to tell the truth himself, the problem he has is not that serious and will not affect his lifespan.

But he was still very happy to leave the palace and go to Yaowang Valley with this reason.

From then on, Yang Mei would live in Yaowang Valley for half a year every year, which made Gong Yuanzheng, who had never left the palace, very envious.

The Palace Master of Jiao Palace is still alive, so Gong Shangjiao is still just a young Palace Master. However, he has traveled around with his father over the years and earned a lot of money for the palace.

Zheng Palace was no longer able to survive, and Gong Yuanzheng was the only palace master left. So after Gong Yuzheng's funeral was over, Gong Yuanzheng immediately took office as the new palace master of Zheng Palace.

The Shang Palace is more complicated. Logically speaking, it should be the same as the Zheng Palace, with Yang Mei as the palace master.

However, Yang Mei is away from the palace for half a year every year, so Zhi Ren and the elders don't want to give him the position of palace master.

Yang Mei said okay and let Gong Zishang take charge, as she happened to be talented in weapon research and development and forging. However, his mother, Madam Wan, would have to manage the general affairs of the Shang Palace, and all matters of the Shang Palace, big or small, would have to be discussed between Gong Zishang and Madam Wan before a decision could be made.

Gong Zishang got the position of Palace Master for nothing.

At first she was wary of Ji Wan, just like she had been for many years before. After all, Ji Wan had no reason to treat her well. She was just the child left by the wife of the previous Palace Master of Shang Palace, and now her parents were dead.

But later she discovered that although Ji Wan was not friendly to her, she did not treat her unfairly. She was treated as she should be, and she was always treated in a businesslike manner when talking to her on a daily basis.

Over time, Gong Zishang was no longer so nervous.

The weather is cold at the end of the year, and the red clouds are turning into snow.

The snowflakes just now were so big that they came in flakes, but now they have stopped.

Yang Mei took a boat back to the palace with a group of servants. At this time of year in previous years, he was still in Yaowang Valley, where the temperature was more suitable for winter.

But this year is special, because the palace wants to choose a husband for Gong Huanyu, the young master. Many young ladies from martial arts sects and aristocratic families will be sent to the palace for Gong Huanyu to choose.

To be honest, it's not much different from the emperor choosing a concubine.

If there is any difference, it is probably that the emperor can choose several, but Gong Huanyu can only choose one.

Originally, Gong Huanyu's marriage selection had nothing to do with Yang Mei. He thought that he would not come back, so who cared what kind of monster he married.

But his mother Ji Wan wrote to him, asking him to come back, not because of Gong Huanyu's marriage selection, but because Gong Zishang spent a lot of time every day chasing after Gong Ziyu's personal bodyguard Jin Fan.

You said you would pursue her, but she still ignored you!

Yang Mei was shocked when she heard this. What? Love-brained? A dog licker. I have to go back and take a look.
