Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Pampering My Little Husband

Ji Beichen felt a slight tremor in his heart when Han Zixuan mentioned it.

Ji Xiao was completely bewildered and looked at his elder brother, "Brother, is there something wrong with that Feng Dongjia?"

She didn't notice anything?

Ji Beichen asked helplessly, "Xiaoxiao, did you see the phoenix-patterned pendant that Master Feng was wearing?"

Ji Xiao tried hard to recall, "It seems there was a jade pendant, but I didn't look at it closely."

What happened to the jade pendant?

Ji Xiao completely missed the point, so Ji Beichen had to say it himself.

"Only royalty under heaven can use jade pendants with phoenix patterns!"

The hierarchical system in ancient times was very clear, and in the Kingdom of Fenglin, women were revered.

The phoenix pattern, symbolizing imperial power, was naturally not something that ordinary people could use.

Ji Xiao suddenly realized, "Is that Feng Dong family member a member of the royal family? A princess? Or..." She wasn't too stupid after all.

Han Zixuan nodded, "Although we don't know who it is, it's always better to stay away!"

"Alright, it's getting late, let's head back soon!"

This delay has ruined my mood for shopping anymore, so I might as well go home early!

Ji Xiao looked longingly at the bow in Han Zixuan's hand.

Her original plan was to buy the bow from whoever got it!

But when she fell into the hands of her best friend, she was able to speak up.

Han Zixuan noticed Ji Xiao's fondness for the bow.

He held the bow up to Ji Xiao and said, "Here, don't you like it? Here, take it!"

Ji Xiao's eyes sparkled, but she shook her head firmly and said, "No, no, Zixuan, this is what you got from shooting arrows."

How could I possibly accept that? I'm already more than satisfied with just seeing and touching it up close!

"Besides, I'm not strong enough to lift it. Zixuan, you should put this precious bow away quickly!"

"If I want it, I'll go to the Han residence to see it; you can't stop me!"

Han Zixuan jokingly pushed the Nine Phoenix Divine Bow back and responded with a faint smile.

"I'm available anytime!"

The three then said their goodbyes, and Ji Beichen gave Shen Qingxi the gift he had brought as a token of their farewell.

"Shen Fulang, I don't know what you like since we're meeting for the first time!"

I picked out a few pieces of jewelry myself, hoping you'll like them!

"Oh, thank you, Young Master Ji. I happen to have something here to give you as well."

Shen Qingxi accepted the gift with a sense of flattery, recalling the gift his wife had asked him to prepare.

He quickly retrieved it, saying, "Young Master Ji, this is a beauty toner that my wife made herself!"

"I find it very good; it whitens and nourishes the skin. I hope you'll like it!"

"Beauty Water" is the name Han Zixuan gave to the skincare water she made; it's very simple and straightforward!

Hearing that Han Zixuan made it herself, he was surprised.

This Han woman is truly talented; she can even make these small household items for her husband herself.

"Ms. Han is truly devoted to Mr. Shen!"

Shen Qingxi suddenly blushed and smiled slightly, "Yes, my wife treats me very well!"

After they parted ways, Ji Xiao and Ji Beichen returned to the Ji family home and saw Jin Youwei sitting solemnly in the front hall of their house.

Ji Lan was patiently advising from the side, "My dear niece, look at what you're saying, how did it come to the point of breaking off the engagement?"

"Let's talk this over properly!"

"Aunt Ji, I didn't bring up the matter of annulling the engagement! It was Ji Xiao who disrespected me in front of many of my classmates and the mothers of other scholars."

It was she who brought it up! Since your Ji family doesn't think much of me, then I don't want to make things awkward between the two families.

Therefore, please agree to this annulment and return the engagement tokens from the Jin family to my niece!

Jin Youwei pretended to be calm. After arguing with Ji Xiao, she went to find her classmate, only to be questioned by her classmate again.

Feeling somewhat guilty, and unable to explain herself, she could only leave on her own.

To prevent Ji Xiao from taking all the blame upon himself, Jin Youwei decided to strike first.

The significance of the woman proposing to annul the engagement first is different from that of the man proposing to annul the engagement.

How could she, a scholar's wife, be jilted by someone else!

Even if she dislikes Ji Beichen's rigidity and dullness, she can't let the Ji family have a good reputation!

And how could she easily give up the Ji family, her cash cow?

Only by supporting Ji Beichen could Ji Lan be willing to continuously send her various kinds of money and treasures.

This is the price Ji Xiao paid for pursuing her.

Upon hearing that it was related to her daughter, Ji Lan frowned and asked.

"Hehe, my niece, Ji Xiao is speaking rudely, like a child."

Don't take it to heart! Even if she offended you, don't hold it against her.

"Once you and Chen'er are married, she naturally won't dare to act recklessly."

"When she comes to her house later, I will definitely teach her a lesson."

It is the fault of the Ji family that my niece has lost face in front of all the scholars' wives today.

"Look, Aunt Ji, I'm apologizing to you on her behalf. I'll have someone send a gift to your house later, so please calm down, niece!"

Jin Youwei felt comfortable and happy after being coaxed by Ji Lan, which greatly satisfied her vanity.

Seeing how understanding Ji Lan was, he suppressed the smile on his lips.

Feeling that these were just gifts and not as direct as money, they decided to say something more.

With a reluctant expression, he sighed, "Alas, what's all this talk about etiquette? We're all scholars!"

Bringing up these things is vulgar, and I didn't come here with the intention of breaking off the engagement.

He was just blinded by anger at Ji Xiao, and thought to himself, "What a joke, in front of so many scholars."

How can I ever face my classmates again after this?

Bei Chen was utterly devoid of any husbandly virtue, rude and indifferent, and even stood by and watched as I was humiliated by Ji Xiao, believing that Ji Xiao was right.

If we get married after that, we won't be happy because we're not a good couple!

Since the words of annulment have already been spoken, it is only right to keep one's word.

"Aunt Ji, please don't try to persuade me anymore. I still have to take the imperial examinations, and I don't want to delay your son's marriage any longer."

Her tearful plea will surely make Ji Lan feel even more guilty, and she will naturally offer even greater compensation.

Ji Lan apologized profusely to Jin Youwei, saying, "Oh, niece, what are you saying? What do you mean by delay?"

You and Beichen are a match made in heaven; as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait.

And then…”

Ji Lan promised many benefits and gold and silver, while Jin Youwei drank his tea with a smug and contemptuous expression.

With great difficulty, she replied, "Then I'll reluctantly accept it..."

Who knew that after listening outside for a long time, Ji Xiao stormed in!

"Accept? Accept what? Kim Yoo-woo, you cunning scoundrel! You actually took advantage of this to deceive my mother!"

She questioned loudly, pointing her finger at Jin Youwei's face as if she was about to punch her.

She and her brother overheard everything at the door and were utterly astonished that Jin Youwei could be so shameless!

Not only did he take things out of context, but he also maliciously smeared his elder brother!

In the end, he even tricked his mother into giving him a lot of gold and silver in return; he truly doesn't deserve to be called a human being.

Ji Lan, bewildered, hurriedly stopped him, grabbing Ji Xiao and saying, "Ji Xiao, you can't be so disrespectful! Apologize to your brother's wife right now!"

Jin Youwei's eyes were filled with panic. How could they be back so quickly!

But seeing that Ji's mother was stopping her, she became arrogant again!

"Hmph, Aunt Ji, you can tell just by looking at Ji Xiao's attitude towards me."

Vulgar and rude, an insult to culture! I don't know what kind of bullshit knowledge they learned in the Mingjing Hall.

"At your rate, you'll never pass the imperial examination! A good-for-nothing, a complete wastrel who only knows how to eat, drink, and be merry!"

This immediately ignited Ji Xiao's anger, and Ji's mother also frowned!
