Wearing books: relying on family wealth to start a decadent career

The courtyard wall here is the shortest in the entire Ji family.

Originally, there was no plan for what it would be used for, so the height was given randomly during construction.

Ji Huatao's legs were kicking on the wall, and he felt panicked after hearing what the superior said.

"Wait, wait a minute...ah."

When Ji Jingyuan saw that the person was sitting safely, his heart relaxed and he jumped down from the wall.

Ji Hualin on the side felt very interesting listening to Ji Huatao's movements. Seeing that the person had already gone down, he walked over and knocked on the courtyard wall: "You're gone. Just run away so you don't get caught."

Hearing the weak response from the other side, he seemed to have not come back to his senses.

Immediately he shook his head and left with Ji Jingyuan. The person who came to change the guard had long since disappeared.

Ji Huatao touched the cushion under him in shock. He let out a long sigh of relief before standing up, and quickly moved away with his things.

Xie Xige cannot go back. If she is found to have run away, Ming Huaying will definitely be searched.

Maybe some other hat will be put on it.

Where to go then?

Ji Huatao was running and thinking, and a place suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Outside Mingxin Mansion, the person guarding the door explained patiently: "Master Pei is not here now, and it is not sure when he will come back."

"He's not here?" Ji Huatao's heart dropped.

Then he asked: "Where is Mr. Xu?"

The man shook his head.

Ji Huatao's heart felt cold again.

She walked down the steps in despair and looked up at the sky.

Forget it, let's find an inn to hide in first.

When she took a step, her footsteps suddenly stopped. She didn't bring any money.

Ji Huatao froze in place and kicked a pebble hard at his feet.

The stone rolled gurglingly, avoiding the passing crowd, and stopped at one person's feet.

The girl looked six years old, with two buns on her head.

She noticed movement under her feet and went to look, only to see a small stone falling just in front of her toes.

He bent down to pick up the pebbles, and when he raised his head, he met a pair of familiar eyes.

Ji Huatao sat on the stone steps next to Mingxin Mansion, nibbling on the sesame seed cake in his hand.

And sitting next to her was the girl just now, Bai Ye.

No one expected it to be such a coincidence.

Ji Huatao was not polite when he got the sesame seed cakes, and started to eat them while holding them.

In the silence, most of the sesame pancakes were gone, and Ji Huatao was a little full.

Bai Ye looked sideways at her. Ji Huatao noticed it and said a little embarrassedly: "Um, thank you for the sesame cakes."

Bai Ye shook his head slightly. After not seeing her for a while, she seemed to have lost the jumpy look she had seen before.

"Did something happen?"

Ji Huatao was speechless for a moment when he heard the questioning voice, and his words seemed to turn into a sigh.

Realizing that it was not convenient to tell the other party's story, she did not continue to ask.

Instead, he turned his head and looked around, pointed at the person coming this way and said, "The person you were waiting for is here."

"Do you know who I'm waiting for?"

Ji Huatao looked at her, but the other party raised an eyebrow at her, patted the dust on his body and turned away.

Ji Huatao was left a little confused, and didn't care about what Bai Ye said, and continued to nibble on the sesame seed cake in his hand.

"A Tao?"

Ji Huatao just took a bite of the sesame seed cake, took off a big piece and left it outside.

A shadow fell in front of him, Ji Huatao blinked and slowly raised his head.

What he faced was Pei Zhen's incredible face.

Suddenly, someone laughed.

"How could such a thing happen!"

In Mingxin Mansion, after passing through the place where errands are done in the front, and walking further back, you will find the place where the government officials live.

There was a sound of surprise in the room, and the government servants who were passing by after returning from rest couldn't help but take a look.

Pei Zhen seemed to feel that his voice was louder, opened the door and shouted: "It's okay, let's relax."

He had been busy for several days, and finally waited until Xu Suiran came back to take care of the rest of the things at hand, and was about to go to Jie Xige after dinner.

Unexpectedly, I met Ji Huatao.

He suggested: "Why don't you report the crime."

Ji Huatao hesitated: "But these are just oral explanations. If there is no evidence, Nanny Xu will not testify."

Pei Zhen scratched his hair and felt that things were difficult to handle.

"But we can't stay here forever."

He noticed that Ji Huatao looked lonely and said quickly: "I don't mean to dislike you, but it's just not an option if this continues. You have to go out after all."

Ji Huatao lowered his head and couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

It has been more than an hour since she came out. It would not be difficult for the Ji family to find out that she was missing.

Just at this moment, Ji Hualin was standing crookedly, watching everything happening in the main hall as if watching a play.

Two people dressed like servants were kneeling unsteadily. Mrs. Ji was sitting on the main seat, and behind her stood Aunt Xu.

"Tell me."

The two people rushed to answer, fearing that if they spoke a step too late, they would end up tragically.

But the words he spoke were too trivial and sounded confusing to Mrs. Ji's ears.

Mrs. Ji gradually became impatient, and the fire in her heart was about to burn out.

boom--

A teacup was broken in front of the two of them, cutting their hands on the ground. Blood flowed out, but no one paid attention.

Nanny Xu said: "Come one by one."

She looked at the one on the left: "You speak first."

The one on the left shook his body and said tremblingly: "Today, I saw the food delivery person coming. The second girl was still there at that time. Wait, after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, two people came over and said..."

He didn't dare to say any more, and the man next to him quickly continued: "They said they were sent by Madam to change guard with us..."

The voice weakened, and Mrs. Ji slammed the table at her hand.

When did she let people change their posts?

He gritted his teeth and said, "Who is it? Do you recognize it?"

The two shook their heads in unison.

Those two people were very strange, and they didn't dare to trust them when they first met.

It's just that they moved Mrs. Ji out, but they didn't dare to ask under Mrs. Ji's pressure for fear of being punished.

I had no choice but to trust them and replace them.

Mrs. Ji almost felt like she was going to faint: "If you don't recognize it, you just let them change it like that? You're a brainless thing!"

She stood up and took a few steps, her impatience almost igniting people.

Mrs. Ji looked at Nanny Xu: "Go and ask the concierge who has come in?"

Nanny Xu agreed and was about to go out when she heard someone at the door say, "No need."

Mrs. Ji turned around to look. Ji Hualin was still standing like that, looking too lazy to wake up.

She felt happy and thought there was a way, so she hurried over and asked, "Does Lin'er know?"

Ji Hualin nodded slowly under the other party's gaze.

"Who was that? Who did it?"

Mrs. Ji's anxious look was probably something she had never seen herself. If she had seen herself like this, she wouldn't have had this expression for many years.

Ji Hualin sneered in his heart, straightened his body, and slowly opened his eyes.

He raised his hand and pointed his thumb at himself: "Me."
