Chapter 1322: Chapter 990: Visitors from the Yun Family

At the Ji Family, the first to notice Xiaosuisui was missing was Nanny Zhang.

Since Madam Ji’s mind began to confuse, she often stayed by Madam Ji’s side, and for this, the Ji family was very grateful.

Nanny Zhang felt that she was alone and would have no one to rely on in the future. The Ji family was made up of filial and kind people, so if she accompanied Madam Ji well now, she might end up well in this family in the future.

With this thought, she became even more attentive to Madam Ji, staying with her into the late night before returning to Xiaosuisui’s residence only after Madam Ji was sound asleep.

That day, Madam Ji slept restlessly, often waking up in fright. Nanny Zhang comforted her until the third watch, when she finally fell asleep. It was then that Nanny Zhang carried the lantern back to the Xiaosuisui’s courtyard.

Originally, Wang Dongxue wanted her to have a room arranged in the elderly lady’s courtyard due to her hard work, which she refused.

After all, the elderly lady’s mind was unpredictable, and it wouldn’t be appropriate if she asked about it when awake.

When Nanny Zhang returned to the courtyard with the lantern, she discovered the hidden guards sent by His Majesty to Chang Rongshun and Princess Shunhe lying there, and she was immediately alarmed. She quickly tried to wake them up, but they wouldn’t wake up. This soon alarmed Wang Dongxue, who was watching over the children, and Zhu Xiuxiu, who was pregnant.

Of course, Xiao Zhenzhu and Hu Shu’er, who had moved out of Ji Mansion to another courtyard due to wedding preparations, were also alarmed.

Ji Youcheng said helplessly, "I really underestimated that careless nine-lived second brother of mine!"

Zhu Xiuxiu gave him a fierce glare.

"You underestimate everyone. When have you ever considered others?"

Ji Youcheng touched his nose and muttered softly, "In my heart, there’s always been just you!"

Zhu Xiuxiu’s face flushed, and she glared at him again.

"Where is Big Brother? We need to tell Big Brother! Someone also needs to go inform the palace. Right now, the priority is to find out where Xiaosuisui has gone," Zhu Xiuxiu hurriedly said.

Wang Dongxue sighed, "Your Big Brother left for Xiling the day before yesterday. We hadn’t mentioned it before, trying to keep it from Xiaosuisui."

Ji Youcheng felt guilty and said, "It’s all my fault. I should have insisted that the little girl stayed in the palace. I shouldn’t have brought her back."

Wang Dongxue replied, "It’s fate; no one could have foreseen that the second brother would collude with her, and they might have gone to Xiling together."

Zhu Xiuxiu suddenly stood up, saying, "I’ll go bring her back!"

Ji Youcheng felt a headache coming as he pressed her down, "Dear, be careful, you have another one inside you! You can’t use your lightness skill, let me go instead!"

Ji Youcheng’s lightness skill was of the same lineage as Zhu Xiuxiu’s.

"Where are you going?

It’s almost time for the birth, and as the father, you need to be home!

I’ll go!"

Wang Dongxue decisively took a stance with the authority of the eldest sister-in-law.

"How could that be?

The sons and daughters are still nursing, and as their mother, you can’t leave!"

Zhu Xiuxiu immediately objected loudly.

"None of you need to go; I’ll go!"

Just then, two voices suddenly came from the entrance in unison.

Everyone looked up, it was Princess Lianchun and Ji Youzhi.

"Princess! How did you and Old Seven get here together?"

They all stood up to greet Princess Lianchun.

"We heard about Xiaosuisui Feifei’s situation in the palace and knew you were worried, so we rushed out of the palace," Princess Lianchun explained and found a place to sit down before speaking.

"It’s not that complicated. I’m more familiar with the situation in Xiling than anyone else, and tracking people needs Youzhi, so no one else goes; Youzhi and I will set out to find them."

"Will this...work?"

Wang Dongxue murmured hesitantly.

"At present, only Old Seven and the Princess are suitable to travel from the capital. Eldest sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, please take care of the household, as my wedding with Old Six is approaching!"

Ji Youze also joined in hastily.

"Alright! Since Old Eight says so, let’s proceed with caution!"

Ji Youzhi and Princess Lianchun nodded.

"It’s not yet dawn. I’ll go pack my bags!"

Ji Youzhi went back to pack in the courtyard.

Wang Dongxue said, "I’ll call Mrs. Zhao to light the stove and make you something to eat."

After Ji Youzhi packed up, the sky outside had also brightened.

The two quickly finished breakfast, and just as they were about to leave, Steward Liu rushed in.

"Seventh master, there’s a relative visiting outside!"

Without thinking, Ji Youzhi replied, "Notify the third master, I’m heading out."

The steward urgently stopped Ji Youzhi, taking a big step away.

"Third master, they claim to be from the Yun Family and are the old lady’s brothers. Also, one specifically mentioned his name, Yun Kuo, you know him."

Hearing this, Ji Youzhi asked hurriedly, "Where are they?"

"I’ve led them to the Flower Hall."

Ji Youzhi promptly followed Steward Liu there.

In the Flower Hall, Yun Kuo and two middle-aged men sat, looking somewhat nervous.

They hadn’t expected their sister’s marital family to be such a powerful household!

Even more surprising was the guardian pillar at the entrance.

What did this imply?

This indicated that Ji Shang held a high status in this secular world!

"Who would’ve thought your brother-in-law held such a high status, with a guardian pillar at the door; that means he must be a Grand General!"

Yun Kuo responded, "Uncle, have you forgotten? Previously, Cousin mentioned that our brother-in-law was the war god!"

Mr. Yun second uncle touched his nose, thinking back, dismissing it as Ji Youzhi’s nonsense for face-saving.

"Once our sister arrives, I’ll be a little nervous!"

There were three visitors: Yun Kuo, Ji Madam’s brother, Mr. Yun second uncle, and Yun Kuo’s cousin, Yun Feng.

"Don’t be nervous; I heard our sister is very kind!"

Mr. Yun second uncle twitched his cheeks, "Kind? If she’s kind, there wouldn’t be a kind person on earth!"

Back in the day, as a younger brother, he dared not make a mistake in front of his sister, else she would toss him into the sea!

"Cousin!"

Feeling apprehensive, they heard Ji Youzhi’s call from the entrance.

They relaxed significantly, exhaling in relief.

Standing up, they saw Ji Youzhi striding in.

"Youzhi!"

"Cousin!"

"Cousin!"

"Second Uncle! Cousin Yun Kuo, Cousin Yun Feng, you finally made it. I’ve been contemplating whether to set sail again to find you!"

"No need to sail anymore. We’ve all left the island. Father said there’s a change in heaven and earth, so everyone from our island relocated and settled down at the base of Xiaozhou Mountain in the southeast. We came today to find this place and tell you our location!"

Hearing this, Ji Youzhi was initially delighted but then his expression turned serious, "Xiaozhou Mountain? Why are you settling there?"
