It was impossible to return the money that the Ji family had embezzled. In the past ten years, the large sums obtained from Ji Yun have already been completely spent. It was impossible to ask all the Ji family members to return the money.
Ji Fengyan’s move rendered Ji He completely speechless. He could only force a smile and say, “What are you saying? Don’t I have your best interests at heart? But since you insist, I won’t force you. I’ll send someone to deliver the items now.”
As Ji He was speaking, his heart was bleeding.
When Linghe had delivered the items yesterday, Ji He had immediately checked them. The treasures from the carriage were not of the best quality, but were still extremely valuable. It would be wonderful if they could use them to fill the Ji family coffers.
No matter how unwilling he was, Ji He had no choice but to obediently return everything.
Within a moment, everything Ji Fengyan had bought at the auction was delivered to her room.
Ji Fengyan opened every box to check in Ji He’s presence, as if she were anticipating robbers. The sight of it made Ji He’s brows twitch.
After a round of inspection, Ji Fengyan closed the boxes and raised her head to stare coldly at Ji He.
Ji Fengyan narrowed her eyes. “Where is my Tree of Flowing Bloodshed?”
Ji He had delivered all the items except for the most important one—the Tree of Flowing Bloodshed!
The item that Ji Fengyan had been willing to overexert her inner core for!
Under Ji Fengyan’s glare, Ji He suddenly felt a cold prickle running down his back and his expression stiffened somewhat. He cleared his throat. “The Tree of Flowing Bloodshed? That is a very valuable item. When your Oldest Uncle found out about it, he was afraid that you were too young to know how to preserve it properly, so he temporarily kept it for you.”
When Ji Fengyan heard this, she started to laugh coldly.
Great.
The Ji family’s thieving nature had not changed at all!
Without waiting for Ji He to finish, Ji Fengyan suddenly stood up and coldly drove Ji He out. Without a second word, she strode out.
Ji He watched Ji Fengyan leave the room and walk towards Ji Qiu’s compound. Frightened, he quickly followed her.
At that moment, Ji Qiu was sitting in his study. Besides him, Ji Mubai and Ji Qingshang were also there. The three of them seemed to be discussing something when the study door was suddenly kicked open. Ji Qiu frowned and his deep gaze turned in that direction.
Ji Fengyan’s figure suddenly appeared before the three of them. Ji Qiu frowned slightly, and Ji Mubai did not move. Only Ji Qingshang’s face showed signs of detest and envy when she saw Ji Fengyan.
Ji Qiu glanced at Ji Fengyan and placed the cup in his hand on the table. He asked in a deep voice, “Fengyan? Why are you here?”
Ji Fengyan raised her brows slightly, but before she could speak, Ji Mubai suddenly said, “Fengyan, I heard that you were injured. Are you feeling better now? You have just returned to the capital, so you should not be too impulsive. You are still young and it is easy for outsiders to take advantage of you.”
An older brother’s kind smile showed on Ji Mubai’s handsome face. His tone and attitude were completely sincere, as if he were very concerned for Ji Fengyan’s well-being.
However, he seemed to imply that Ji Fengyan’s actions in the capital had been reckless.
But that was not all…
Ji Fengyan only shot a glance at Ji Mubai before she looked directly at Ji Qiu and said, “Oldest Uncle, I have come for the Tree of Flowing Bloodshed.”
