A brocade mattress was laid on the stone bench by the pond, and Ji Xiaotang held a fishing rod in his hand. The north wind blew the pond water, rippling layers of water patterns. In the pond water, there were golden koi shaking their heads and tails, hovering around the bait.

The purpose of sending generous gifts to Han Xiaoweihou was neither to ask Master Ji San for official duties nor to what he had said to Master Ji Er before. In other words, the good fate she really refers to is not the good fate that Master Ji Er understood.

What Ji Xiaotang asked for was the Ji family's stability plan.

Let the wind and waves rise and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

The bait has been put down, and then I will wait for the fish to come and bite the hook.

The attendant pushed the door and bowed to the tall man in brocade clothes.

"Have you checked it carefully?" the man in brocade asked in a deep voice.

"I have checked carefully when I say that."

“Can there be…”

"I didn't say anything to you," the attendant replied.

The man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but seemed to be a little disappointed, and did not speak for a long time.

The attendant bowed and stood beside him, holding his voice and not daring to say anything.

"The fourth brother can't stay." The man spoke again, and he was solemn and stern.

The attendant was slightly surprised and immediately returned to normal.

"Eliminating the fourth brother will alert the enemy."

"This trip was dangerous, I was injured, let alone him. Can he be more noble than me?"

"Yes." The attendant immediately understood and asked again, "What does it mean..."

"No further ado, before he sends out the message." The man ordered briefly but decisively.

Before sending the message next time, that is, the person who was born with these two days could not know... The servant immediately understood something and took the order when he was busy.

"The fourth brother is not easy to deal with, so he has to take action. The best opportunity is in Mujiazhai." The attendant thought about it and reported to the man.

"Then Mujia Village must be clean and neat, leaving no traces." The man ordered.

"Affect the order."

"Follow the Mujia Village, it's Ren An." The man took out a map from his sleeve and glanced at it. The murderous aura on his face gradually faded, and his tone became gentle. "I'm going to meet Nian brother for a night in Ren An."

The man immediately put away the map. Before leaving Qingyuan, there was another important thing to do.

"Go and call County Magistrate Xie to see me."

...

After seeing off Han Xiaoweiwuhou, Mrs. Xie brought Xie Huaijin to the Ji family the next day.

"I finally left, and a big stone in my heart fell down." Mrs. Xie said to Mrs. Ji Er, "These days, I can't eat well almost every day and sleep hard, for fear that something will happen in the yard will cause our master to implicate."

"Our master can also feel relieved this time." Mrs. Xie said again.

Mrs. Ji Er was very happy for her when she saw that Mrs. Xie seemed to be relaxed and she had returned to her former freedom.

"But what did that noble man say?" Mrs. Ji Er asked, and she guessed that the noble man said something praise before leaving, which made County Magistrate Xie and Mrs. Xie so happy.

"I don't know this." Mrs. Xie said, "I asked our master, and our master just said it was a business and told me not to ask too much. I see our master's expression. He can't hide it from me for so many years. It must be a good thing."

"That's good. With Lord Xie's achievements over the years, he deserves it." Mrs. Ji Er said.
