WFWC Chapter 27

The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 27: The First New Year’s Eve Is Extraordinary

 

“Brother, just as you expected, many killers disguised themselves as ordinary people and sneaked into the city. I stood guard at the door and caught no less than twenty suspicious people. Fifteen of them had the same tattoo on their arms.” Ji Linfeng said excitedly.

 

“Also, I noticed that the Third Prince has been sitting on the second floor of Zui Xiang Tower these days.”

 

“Did they see you?” Ji Yushu’s brows were full of worry.

 

Ji Linfeng poured himself a glass of water, drank it in big gulps, and laughed: “I’m just doing routine inspections, so what if they saw me? I released the news three days ago to prevent any mistakes in the city and strengthen security control in the city .”

 

“Brother, the assassins have been almost captured. Do you think the Third Prince will give up the operation? ”

 

Ji Yushu lowered his eyes, was silent for a moment and said, “It shouldn’t be. It has been two years since the last assassination attempt. If it were me, I would not stopping just because of the change in the number of people. Maybe the number of assassins is beyond our imagination.”

 

“Also, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the Third Prince, these people were released afterwards.”

 

Ji Linfeng nodded. He hadn’t slept for two days until this night. Thinking that he had captured all those assassins, he felt a great sense of accomplishment. Sure enough, after confessing to his elder brother, he felt that he was much more useful.

 

I have to admit that my elder brother is much smarter than him.

 

Ji Yushu signaled Ji Linfeng to push him towards Wutong Courtyard.

 

When the two arrived, dinner was just being served.

 

It was just an ordinary family dinner, and the table was not as sumptuous as the full moon banquet. In addition to the host’s table, there were five tables for servants and guards.

 

Madam Ji lowered her eyes and glanced at the daughter in her arms. She seemed to be too worried. Her little brows were tightly furrowed, as if even her toes were nervous.

 

[Today is New Year’s Eve, why do I feel so uneasy?]

 

I always feel like something terrible is going to happen tonight.

 

The plot has collapsed several times, and this feeling really makes her feel uneasy.

 

[At this time, the Third Prince was already waiting in Zui Xiang Tower. When the Crown Prince appeared, he would smash the cup in his hand and signal the Flower Lantern Shopkeeper to take action.]

 

After hearing this, Ji Linfeng instantly realized that the Third Prince threw the cup after seeing the Crown Prince. As long as he stopped the Crown Prince halfway, everything would be fine.

 

Furthermore, he had already captured more than ten people, so it seemed that apart from the shopkeeper, there would be no other help.

 

Ji Linfeng thought happily in his heart, but the next second, he couldn’t laugh anymore.

 

[There are more assassins this time than the one who assassinated my elder brother two years ago, a total of forty people. ]

 

“Puff” Ji Linfeng didn’t even finish his drink, he chocked on the wine and it flowed out of his nose.

 

[Oh, look at how silly my second brother is. He is so grown up but still acts like a little boy.]

 

Ji Linfeng wanted to cry but had no tears. In his little sister’s heart, was he so unbearable?

 

Ji Yushu seemed to blame him unintentionally and said, “How old are you? Why are you still so impetuous?”

 

Lord Ji also scolded him: “Learn from your brother, be calm and reserved.” Then he kicked him.

 

Ji Linfeng felt very aggrieved. In his opinion, his father just liked to kick him, and would kick him whenever he was not happy. It was only because his younger sister was born recently that he gave him some face.

 

Mrs. Ji smoothed things over with a smile, “Okay, okay. Feng’er may be too happy and a little anxious.”

 

Ji Linfeng smiled innocently and put a piece of chicken into Mrs. Ji’s bowl. He said, “Mother still loves me the most.”

 

The deliberately graceful movement was so funny that Lord Ji wanted to raise his foot again. Ji Linfeng quickly took a step back and even made a face at his father without fear of death.

 

Ji Yushu was eating elegantly, and seeing this, he felt helpless and amused.

 

“You, you are already sixteen years old, and still acting like this. I have to find you a wife to take good care of you.” She didn’t dare to mention the eldest son’s marriage, but how could the second son escape?

 

[Oh, I suddenly remembered that tonight is the peach blossom of my second brother. Speaking of which, that woman is my second brother’s destined wife. She is very good to him. Unfortunately, she is also a miserable person. In the end, when the Ji family got into trouble, she didn’t even want a divorce letter, and would rather suffer with him.]

 

Ji Linfeng:…

 

Lord Ji, who originally didn’t want Ji Linfeng to go out, heard that there was such a destiny destined by heaven, so he had to drive him out even if he had to stab him.

 

Just as Lord Ji finished his thought, he saw Ji Linfeng put down his chopsticks and said to Madam Ji with a smile: “Mother, I’m full. Now I’ll follow my eldest brother to the shop to help.”

 

After saying that, he pushed Ji Yushu out.

 

It was rare that Lord Ji did not scolded him harshly for being disrespectful to his elders as he did before, and even said with concern: “Come back soon.”

 

Ji Linfeng was startled, pursed his lips, and replied: “Yeah.”

 

The shop was on another street, quite a distance from Qingtian Street where the accident happened. This was also the reason why Lord Ji and Madam Ji were relieved to let them go out.

 

[Why is Second Brother so angry? Is it because Daddy suddenly showed concern for him and he was touched? ]

 

What nonsense are you talking about, little sister?

 

Ji Linfeng, who had walked a long way, suddenly smiled again and heard Ji Yushu say, “Actually, Dad has always cared about you, but he was not good at expressing it. Now, Dad is changing. You can tell from his attitude towards Mom.”

 

“I know, brother. Dad just hates that I am useless.” In fact, he still has him in his heart, he can feel it.

 

Ji Linfeng pushed Ji Yushu out of the door, and Ji Hua was sleeping soundly in Mrs. Ji’s arms.

 

She wanted to go out, but unfortunately her strength did not allow it.

 

Not long after the two left, Lord Ji nodded to Madam Ji and left as well. At the same time, he called away Yin Zheng and several other men.

 

At the same time in Prince Xian’s Mansion.

 

“Father, Mother, I’m full. I’m going to sleep.” Bei Hengjin put down his bowl and chopsticks, yawned, and acted like he was very sleepy.

 

King Xian and Princess Xian were a little surprised: “Aren’t you going to Qingtian Street to guess the lanterns with your brother the Crown Prince tonight?”

 

“No, I’m very sleepy tonight. Guessing the lanterns every year is boring.” Bei Hengjin waved his hand and said with an experienced look on his face.

 

Princess Xian looked at her son helplessly. He had grown up so big, but he had only been there once last year, okay?

 

“Okay, go to bed.”

 

After getting approval, Bei Hengjin jumped off the chair and walked towards his own yard accompanied by his maid.

 

The maid waited until the lights in the room went out before leaving.

 

Qingtian Street.

 

The place was crowded and bustling, with deafening sounds of firecrackers coming from time to time, each one bringing a festive atmosphere.

 

There were people watching the fun in front of every stall, including the circus stalls, lantern stalls, wine shops, and candy figurine stalls. There were constant cheers and applause.

 

Since the surrender of the North and the South, this grand event has taken place every year.

 

Lord Ji and others were standing at the street corner in casual clothes, and the grand scene not far away made their eyes moist.

 

“General, this is all thanks to you. Without your wisdom and bravery back then, there would not be such an unprecedented and unparalleled occasion.” Yin Zheng stood beside Lord Ji, feeling quite proud of him.

 

Lord Ji had not heard the word “general” for some years. When he heard it again, it was as if he was still fighting on the battlefield.

 

“Yin Zheng, you are wrong. This is not my achievement, but the achievement of thousands of soldiers, whether they died or survived, they all deserve credit. Remember, a general should take the country as his own responsibility, the country comes first, then the family.”

 

“I understand.” The four people behind him spoke together.

 

After waiting for about half an hour, Lord Ji finally saw the figure of the Crown Prince Bei Hengmo coming out of the palace. He was accompanied by King Xian and his wife. In addition to these three people, there was another person following the Crown Prince. This person was covered in a black cloak and his face could not be seen clearly. He was probably the Crown Prince’s guard.

 

“My Lord, are you going to take action?” Yin Zheng’s voice sounded slightly worried.

 

Lord Ji was a little hesitant. He thought the prince was traveling alone, but he didn’t expect there were four of them. If he took action, he would be caught quickly. After all, the Crown prince and King Xian both had martial arts skills.

 

But if the Crown prince was not stopped, there was a high possibility of a stampede.

 

When Lord Ji was thinking about how to stop the prince, he caught a glimpse of four skinny beggars in an alley not far away. There were men, women, young and old, just enough to form a family.

 

Lord Ji sent a look to Yin Zheng who was standing beside him. The latter understood immediately and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

 

After a while, Yin Zheng came back and said in a low voice , “My Lord, it’s done.”

 

“Well done, we are protecting you in secret.”

 

“Yes.” A group of four people hid in the dark.

 

In order to avoid alerting the other party, the four of them hid far away, so they couldn’t hear the conversation here.

 

“Brother Wen, the people of Shengyu have already lived a peaceful and prosperous life. Look, there is not even a beggar on the street. It can be seen that…”

 

“Please, kind-hearted people, give us some food. We have been hungry for days.” Before King Xian finished speaking, four skinny beggars suddenly jumped out and knelt at his feet.

 

Seeing the four beggars suddenly appearing, King Xian was speechless. What did he say just now, and he was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye?

 

The Crown prince’s first reaction was to draw his sword to protect the man in black behind him.
