They returned to the house after strolling around. What they didn't expect was that an old man over fifty years old was sitting in the front hall. His upright posture made him doubt his identity, but the clothes he wore didn't look like he belonged to a certain family.
Liu Yun didn't know this person, but Dongfang Ye knew about it.
The Ji family's housekeeper, Ji Yuntian, has changed his surname to Ji since he was picked up by Mrs. Ji at the age of seven, and has been with the old Mrs. Ji ever since. Now he has become an indispensable housekeeper of the Ji family. Although he is a servant, he is not
He is not just a servant. After all, he holds a lot of the Ji family's land, which belongs to him personally.
"Miss Liuyun, uncle." Steward Ji bowed slightly towards the two of them with a very respectful attitude.
The person who calls Dongfang Ye uncle must naturally be Liuyun's natal family, but the old man in front of him is obviously not from the Mu family, so he should be from the Ji family.
"Who is this old man?" Liu Yun nodded slightly at him, but there was some confusion in his eyes. He seemed to have seen this man somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.
"My servant Ji Yuntian is the housekeeper of Ji's house. When the old lady heard that the young lady came to the capital, she sent her servant to invite Miss Liu Yun back to Ji's house. The old lady missed her dearly and wanted to invite Miss Liu Yun to go back and stay for a few days."
The butler said with a slight smile.
The butler of a noble family is, after all, a steward of a noble family. His every gesture and gesture are full of etiquette, and his tone of voice is unhurried.
"It turns out to be Butler Ji, Liu Yun is so polite." Liu Yun bowed slightly towards Butler Ji to greet him. Ji Yuntian immediately took a step back, with a look of surprise on his face. He thought he had never seen such a young lady, actually bowing to a mere steward.
Even the calm butler was a little confused.
Liu Yun said with a faint smile: "Grandma's letter also mentioned Butler Ji. If it hadn't been for Butler Ji's help in taking care of my grandmother's health in these years, she wouldn't be so tough now. Liu Yun has been in Linyang and has no chance to be here.
Grandma is a filial piety, and now I can only thank Butler Ji."
The demeanor of a lady from an aristocratic family who is well-educated and well-adjusted, made Butler Ji's eyes flash with doubts as to why she was completely different from the domineering and domineering person he had heard about. However, he smiled at Liu Yun without revealing anything, showing goodwill.
"The old lady doted on the eldest lady before, but later..." Butler Ji paused, as if he was talking about something sad, then suddenly changed the subject, and then said, "It's Miss Liuyun, the old lady heard that Liuyun
The young lady is very happy that she is pregnant. If the old slave hadn't stopped her, she would have wanted to pick her up and take her back to Ji Mansion to stay for a few days."
It seems that it is imperative to return to Ji's Mansion. Out of love and etiquette, her granddaughter should go to Ji's Mansion to visit her grandmother first when she returns to the capital. This matter was her negligence. Now her grandmother has personally sent someone to invite her.
, it would be unreasonable for her to refuse.
Liu Yun and Dongfang Ye looked at each other and saw the meaning in each other's eyes.
"Originally Liu Yun was supposed to visit the old lady, but she was a little unwell a few days ago and was delayed. Now that Butler Ji is here, it's just a good time. I don't have anything to do these days, so I can accompany Liu Yun back.
The Ji family takes a look at the old lady." Dongfang Ye saw Butler Ji's surprised expression and explained, "Speaking of which, I should have informed the old lady's beloved granddaughter of my marriage, but the wedding was held in a hurry, so I ignored it.
These should be kept company by the old lady."
These words made Butler Ji look at Dongfang Ye more, and the surprise on his face became even stronger.
It had been known earlier that Dongfang Ye was a terminally ill young prince. Now that he was standing here, except that his face was still a little pale, there was no other sign of serious illness. The relationship between the old lady and Liu Yun was
Butler Ji was responsible for the letters, so he naturally knew what was going on in Linyang City, but the two people in front of him seemed to be quite different from what the people he sent to Linyang City said.
"Ye, do you want to accompany me back?" Liu Yun said in surprise.
"Of course it is. You are such a crazy girl. I'm really worried if you don't have me by your side. Otherwise, the Ji Mansion will be in a state of uproar and people may sue the emperor." Dongfang Ye rubbed it.
He rubbed Liuyun's head, and when he saw her smiling broadly, he also laughed. This girl is really easy to satisfy.
Butler Ji rarely showed a sincere smile. It was actually the true expression of affection between Miss Liu Yun and his uncle that made him, who had taken care of the indifferent relationship between husband and wife in the mansion of aristocratic families in the capital, rarely see such a natural intimacy like theirs.
He felt an indescribable feeling.
"In this case, do Miss Liuyun and my uncle need to tidy up some of their underwear? I'll wait for you at the carriage outside the door first?" Butler Ji asked in a low voice.
"Okay." Liu Yun nodded, and then took Dongfang Ye back to the house to pack some daily things.
Although Liu Yun is the granddaughter of the Ji family, she rarely moves around on weekdays. Now she has gone back to stay as a guest for a few days, which makes her a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, Dongfang Ye is accompanying her, and she also
I felt relieved.
As long as Dongfang Ye is here, she doesn't have to worry about big things.
"Let's take Chu Xia here. Firstly, she knows some martial arts, and secondly, she also knows medical skills, so she can always be prepared." Dongfang Ye said as he took out a few pieces of her personal clothing under Liuyun's command.
"Do you think it's a scam?" Liu Yun raised his eyebrows and immediately understood what Dongfang Ye meant.
But thinking about it, she has never returned to the capital. She only went to Linyang City a few times when the Ji family was very young. Her granddaughter is probably not a great person to the Ji family, so her grandmother would not want to see her.
It's normal, but asking her to stay at Ji's house for a few days is a bit strange.
Dongfang Ye's thoughts are obviously much deeper than Liu Yun's. The court is now gradually changing. The Ji family has always been powerful. Now that the Yang family has a comparable strength, the Ji family should also have some sense of crisis. Although
The Yang family is not as well-connected as the Ji family, but the upstart ministers are undoubtedly the Yang family. To win over Dongfang Ye at this time is to win over the Dongfang family. Of course, if the Ji family only has this idea, he will not worry.
What he was worried about was Liu Yun. Ji Mengxian's death was too strange. After searching for a long time, he only got some sporadic clues. He followed the clues and found out many things, but now they were just his guesses, so he didn't tell Liu Yun.
This time Mrs. Ji asked Liu Yun to go back again, which really made him have to be on guard. He didn't know what the Ji family was planning.
"Don't frown." Suddenly, Liu Yun had already walked in front of him and stretched out his hand to smooth his brow, "I don't like to see you frown."
He was already cold, but when he frowned, he felt even more depressed, which made her very uncomfortable.
"Okay." He frowned, Dongfang Ye looked at her worried expression, and suddenly smiled, "Don't worry, the soldiers will just come and cover up the water and the earth."
