On the road to escape famine, others ate vegetables but I ate meat

Chapter 122: Ji Family Brothers and Sisters Speculations
Ji Ruxue was anxious. She sat down and drank a cup of tea. After calming down, she thought that those people might have failed.

Otherwise, it would be impossible that he hadn't come to her to ask for the remaining payment for so long.

"Sister." Ji Ruhua's voice came, "Brother is in trouble."

Ji Ruhua rushed in, "Quick, go see big brother."

Ji Ruxue's heart instantly lifted up. Her elder brother was so capable, how could something happen to him?
The two came to Ji Rufeng's yard.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Ji Rufeng's face was pale and his lips were bloodless. He lay on the bed, not daring to move.

The doctor beside him took the pulse and wrote a few prescriptions, "Master Ji, you should give Master Ji these prescriptions for five days, and he will slowly recover."

"Okay, thank you, doctor." Ji Ruhua asked the housekeeper to take people downstairs to get the money.

"Brother, what happened to you? Who plotted against you?"

"They betrayed us." Ji Rufeng said gloomily, "Those people are simply greedy for money. It would be fine if they didn't find the cure, but they came back to blame us. They were already injured and haven't fully recovered yet..."

Although Ji Rufeng didn't say anything else, they all knew that he was beaten up by a group of people.

Ji Rufeng gnashed his teeth and said, "They even stole the banknotes. These bastards, I will teach them a lesson when I get better."

"Brother, you should rest and recover first. It's just a little money. Health is more important." Ji Ruhua comforted him. He thought for a while and said, "Brother, do you want to send someone to send a letter to ask parents to come back?"

Their family is having some bad luck now, and he suspects someone is behind them.

"No, let mom and dad have some fun outside. It's not easy for them to take care of us." Ji Rufeng shook his head. "By the way, how is our inn business?"

“It’s OK at the moment, business is the same as before.”

Ji Rufeng nodded slightly. He couldn't move too much now, otherwise the wounds on his body would hurt more and would be difficult to recover.

His eyes turned to the silent Ji Ruxue, "Sister, what's wrong with you? You seem to be worried."

Ji Ruxue: "I bribed a few people to deal with Lan Yue before, but they haven't come back to ask me for the remaining reward yet. I'm worried that they ran away with the money."

"What's going on?" Ji Rufeng knew that it was impossible for his sister to send someone to Lan Yue for no reason.

"Before... that's what happened." Ji Ruhua told Ji Rufeng what happened in the academy.

"What's wrong with Zixuan? Why did he lie?" Ji Rufeng didn't understand. Ji Zixuan was a very well-behaved person at home and it was impossible for him to wrongly accuse his fellow disciple.

"Maybe Zixuan was too flustered?" Ji Ruhua said, "Anyway, things have come to this point, and it will be useless to pursue it further."

"That Lan Yue is very evil." Ji Ruxue said, "We haven't had a good life since we met her."

Ji Rufeng and Ji Ruhua remained silent.

In fact, those people in Lan Yue are not as evil as my sister said. In fact, they took the initiative to provoke this.

They didn't take them seriously at all, and didn't want to make friends with them. Instead, they...

"Okay, this matter ends here. Let's try to avoid provoking them in the future." Ji Rufeng had a headache, not sure if it was because of the matter or the injuries on his body.

"Brother, you should take a rest first."

Ji Ruhua did not disturb Ji Rufeng's rest and pulled Ji Ruxue out of the room.

Ji Ruhua and Ji Ruxue were walking in the yard. "Sister, let's just forget about this matter. From now on, you should practice martial arts well and improve your skills. Don't interfere with Lan Yue's affairs."

Lan Yue is a very strange person. They can’t attack others like this anymore.

Ji Ruxue nodded. She also understood that Lan Yue might be playing dumb. She couldn't let her guard down. Someone who could escape to Nanzhou safely couldn't be a weak woman who couldn't even tie a chicken. She had thought too simply before.

Although the Xu family came to Nanzhou, they were exiles and lived in a very dilapidated house.

Everything inside was refurbished. After arriving in Nanzhou City, they spent a lot of money to hire people to deal with Lan Yue's people. Unfortunately, those people have not returned yet.

And because of the problem of money, they had to find some work to do.

They were still fantasizing that the second prince would send someone to give them some silver.

After all, they were secretly supporting the Second Prince.

"Brother, I'm back!" Xu Rou was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before, and she became much more restrained.

Today she went outside to get information and saw Gu Yan.

She ran back in a hurry.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yi saw her running so fast, could something big have happened?
"Brother, I saw Gu Yan on the street. He seemed to be doing well." Xu Rou sat down and drank two glasses of water.

The moment she saw Gu Yan, she felt that she shouldn't be like this. Why did she have to wear coarse linen clothes while Gu Yan wore such nice clothes!
She is obviously the eldest daughter!
"Brother, why hasn't the Second Prince sent us any money yet?" Xu Rou lowered her voice, "We have been here for half a month, and there has been no movement from the Second Prince's men."

"This..." Xu Yi didn't know what to say, "Maybe it's inconvenient? We don't know what's going on in the capital now, Second Prince..."

Could it be that something happened in the capital? Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Second Prince to not send them money for so long.

"Brother, I don't want to go out and help others wash dishes."

The bowl was dirty, smelly and tiring.

She doesn't earn much money in a day. She should have been a lady with a life of luxury, but now she can only wash dishes for others. How can she accept this gap?
"Be patient for a few more days, maybe the second prince will send someone." Xu Yi comforted Xu Rou.

He didn't want to copy books for others, but who made them exiles now?

It's good enough to have a place to live. After picking and choosing, they have no place to live.

Fortunately, those few people left fifty taels of silver for them, otherwise, they would only be able to eat wild vegetables now.

"Where are Xu Yin and the others? Haven't they come back yet?"

"Well, they want to make more money." She really looked down on beggars making money.

"Well, then you go back and rest first, and I'll think of a solution." He didn't want his sister to suffer.

Besides, his parents should be here soon.

I have to buy more things for the house. Fortunately, the house has been repaired and can still be lived in, otherwise...

Xu Yi pinched his brows, hoping that days like this would pass quickly!
The next day when Lan Yue had not returned, Liu and her friends sent people to look for her, but they did not find her.

"Don't worry, son. Lan Yue is a sensible person. She may have gone to do some private things. Don't worry." Liu looked at Gu Yan who was at a loss. "Study hard and don't let Lan Yue down. When Lan Yue is away, we have to take good care of ourselves."
