While walking, Zou Yusheng spoke a few words about his granddaughter and began to educate her about the people in the compound and their relationships. She would occasionally come to live here, so she needed to know which people were not to be offended. Zou Wenwan did not throw a tantrum this time and listened carefully to her grandfather. Zou Yusheng had no idea that his granddaughter had already offended everyone she wasn't supposed to.
During dinner, Old Master Hua casually asked about this matter. Ji Xingmi swallowed her food before speaking.
"Well, I met her at the small park! She's quite interesting!?"
"Interesting?" Old Hua glanced at her. He thought she would be angry! Knowing her personality, that girl would likely have been drugged by now.
"Mmm, very confident! Her family must dote on her. She seems to understand, yet she knows nothing. If this person moves in, this place is going to get lively!"
"Heh! She's just brainless!" Gu Jingyi added.
"Oh? You know her?" Old Hua thought Gu Jingyi knew something when he said that!
"No, but I just heard something." Gu Jingyi told everyone what Chen Cang had just said, leaving Ji Xingmi stunned. This was too dramatic! What was going on? An upgraded version of a sweet and naive girl?
"Won't the Zou family be kicked out before they even move in?" Ji Xingmi asked Old Hua.
"Do you think this is playing house, where you can just move in and out as you please! We'll see. If there's a suitable position, we'll transfer them out! So they don't cause trouble here every day!"
"Grandpa Hua, you're still the best!" Ji Xingmi gave him a thumbs-up. She really hoped the Zou family would be kicked out. Ever since she learned about Qi Wenjing's situation, she felt that the Zou family were not good people.
Gu Jingyi's eyes flickered at this moment. He knew much more than Ji Xingmi. It was rumored that Zou Hao had not only been fooling around with women recently. Ever since that incident, he seemed to have opened a new world. He wondered if this could be used to their advantage. It would be better not to have eyesores around them!
Ji Xingmi was unaware that they were already thinking so far ahead. She just intended to retaliate if she encountered them again. They even wanted the place she had painstakingly managed, and they still complained that her taste was bad, hmph! She was also quite vengeful! She had even snatched her clothes last time! Ji Xingmi fiercely poked the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks. Old Hua glanced at her and said, "Eat properly! What are you thinking about?! So serious!"
Ji Xingmi then let go of the rice and said fiercely, "I just remembered, when I went to buy clothes last time, she snatched my clothes! This time she's snatching the courtyard I managed, she wishes!"
"What clothes? Oh, right. Your Grandma Hua mentioned last time that she had a close friend with excellent craftsmanship and wanted to take you to her place to make clothes. But you weren't around then! See when you have time, go find your Grandma Hua, and let her take you. You should also get some good clothes made, so you can attend gatherings and meet people, instead of being bullied by those blind fools all the time!" Old Hua had his own motives for saying this. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't plan this for them, but Ji Xingmi was too low-key. She had been in the capital for almost two years, and very few people her age knew her. What use was it if only a few old men knew her? She was clearly someone not to be trifled with, yet so many people wanted to mock her. It was time to give them a lesson.
Ji Xingmi nodded and did not object, thinking about her future plans. She did seem to need to go out and meet people.
Ji Xingmi noted this down, but she didn't have time to make clothes recently. She was busy tidying up her new living space! Old Hua's study had the most items and was the most difficult to move. However, Ji Xingmi didn't have to worry about this. When the orderly reported that the place had been tidied up, Ji Xingmi went there. First, she fumigated the rooms with herbs and then sprinkled seeds she had just collected around the perimeter, which could repel mosquitoes and insects. Then she made medicinal pills and placed them inside the rooms.
Each room had a different purpose. Old Hua slept exceptionally well on his first night in the new place, thanks to Ji Xingmi's medicinal pills.
"Next time I go on a business trip, you have to prepare some of this for me! I usually can't sleep well for the first few nights away from home!"
"Oh, okay. I made quite a bit this time! I've labeled them all, and I'll put them in that small room later!" Old Hua had arranged a small pharmacy for Ji Xingmi next to the study. Ji Xingmi also placed some medicinal herbs and medicines inside. This way, if anything unexpected happened while she was away, they could find them in her small pharmacy. There were two keys; one was with Ji Xingmi, and the other was with Old Hua, but she generally didn't lock it.
"Take some time recently to read this. It's a message from over there! You also need to reply to them!" After moving into the new house, Ji Xingmi received her first task. Fortunately, this task didn't require her to go out. Ji Xingmi found a spot in the study and sat down.
