"Sir, a disciple recruitment banquet is being held in the mansion today. I hope sir can show us some appreciation." Ji Zhen was mistaken, she had followed Ji Feng to the Zhan Clan in the morning and sent him an invitation.

"Mn, at that time, I will go with Ji Feng." Zhan Chuan took the invitation and headed back into the house, but he did not expect to be stopped by Ji Zhen.

"There is something that I need to inform Sir in advance, but Ji Zhen does not know if he should say it." Ji Zhen found it hard to say these words, after all, taking Ji Feng as her disciple was initially out of consideration for Ji Zhen, and adding that Ji Feng was already an obedient child, she was worried that Zhan Chuan would take Ji Mo in, which would only add to their worries.

"Speak." Zhan Chuan had an inexplicable tolerance towards Ji Zhen, possibly because Ji Zhen was similar to her Grandmother.

"Old Liu wants to hand his own grandson over to Sir as well, but this ?" Ji Zhen stammered, and was embarrassed to continue, but Zhan Chuan saw through her thoughts, "You don't have to worry, if it was a plastic talent, I will teach him, and will not let him affect Ji Feng; if it's a mediocre talent, no matter how much of a face he has, I will never be able to accept him as my disciple."

"If that's the case, I'll have to trouble Teacher." Ji Zhen heaved a sigh of relief and left after giving his instructions.

In order to help Ji Mo get the best of him, Old Liu helped him busy with the feast, while Ji Qin sent someone to the Yiyun Institute early in the morning, saying that he wanted to bring Ji Xue back. When Old Liu heard about it, he immediately sent people to Liu Estate, saying that he wanted them to follow them to bring Ji Xue back to the house.

Yiyun Institute was the biggest women's academy in the country, and it was said by the ancients that "a woman without talent is virtue". However, the founding Kaiser of the Great Qin had a deep relationship with the empress, and the empress was a knowledgeable person. He immediately ordered the construction of female academies and academies in various parts of the country. Not only were they for the purpose of teaching female workers and the like, there were even courses such as zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Ji Xue had been practicing the zither skills in the Yiyun Institute ever since she was seven, and she had been studying from a female teacher in the Yiyun Institute ever since, and the reason why the Old Liu rejected Ji Xue's marriage was also using this reason, saying that Ji Xue wanted to practice properly, and did not have the time to return home.

Yiyun Institute was not far from here, he estimated that he would be home in the afternoon.

"Miss, you should quickly go take a look!" Cui Er's face was red as she ran into the hall, "The people from Liu Estate and the gatekeepers are about to start fighting."

"What!" Ji Zhen stood up immediately and walked to the entrance of the courtyard ahead of Ji Qin. After Ji Qin took charge of the house, she swapped over the servants and maids of the mansion with the exception of West Garden. The gatekeeper had deliberately asked someone who was honest, but Ji Zhen never expected that the Liu Estate would actually clash with the gatekeeper.

"Miss, you don't know, after the man from Liu Estate took Ji Xue, when he returned to the manor, he insisted on asking the gatekeeper to open the door, and he was unwilling to get off the carriage ?." In the Hou Mansion, only people with a good name could leave, and there were no greetings letters, so this doorman did not know who Ji Xue was, so he would naturally not let her in.

The nine gates of the Imperial City, the four gates in the right direction, would only be opened on the day when the Kaiser passed away and the Emperor Tomb was established. At other times, other than meeting the Kaiser to offer sacrifices to the heavens, Duke Feng Chan would send the army out of the city, and not a single door would be opened. And beside each door, there were two side doors, and beside the side door, there were two side doors.

Most officials, regardless of whether they were princes or first rank officials, had to go through the side doors. The side doors were meant for ordinary people to go in and out, while the small doors were meant for the merchants. It was rumored that the Six Fans Gate was called Six Fans Gate because it was the most important gate of the Six Fans Gate.

There was a middle door, side door, and a corner door. Usually, only important guests or oracles of royal orders would open the middle door, while the rest would have to go through the side door. Pingbei Mansion's middle door had only been opened once during these two years, and it seemed like it had only been opened once on the day of Ji Zhen's germanium.

"What did Miss Ji Xue say?" Ji Zhen, on the other hand, cared more about Ji Xue's attitude. If Ji Xue was like her mother, she would have to be on guard against him.

"When this servant saw Miss Xue'er coming out of the carriage, she said that she wanted to dismount and leave, but the other man in the carriage firmly refused." Cui Er did not hide anything, "There's a feast in this courtyard, everyone is busy, only the gatekeeper is there to guard, and he used a whip to whip the gatekeeper."

"What!" When Ji Zhen arrived, she saw the man from Liu Estate waving his horsewhip non-stop, while the gatekeeper was already bleeding from his wounds.

"What is it? Your Miss still wants to go back to her house! " This man kept on clamoring with an arrogant expression. Ji Zhen waved her hand and signaled the guards to take him down.

"Yes, there is naturally no need for Miss to return to the manor. It is just that what kind of thing are you to dare behave atrociously in front of my Pingbei Mansion!" Ji Zhen snatched the whip from his hand and whipped it fiercely towards his face. The stinging pain accompanied by the blood that flowed from the whip made him scream out loud.

"He's our family's Miss's blood related cousin, you actually dare to treat him like this! I have to report it to Madame so that you will not be able to bear the consequences! " The one who spoke was Ji Xue's wet nurse, so she was naturally the person Liushi brought out from Liu Estate. She was originally her personal servant, and later on, she followed Ji Xue to Yiyun Institute to serve him.

This time, she had followed Ji Xue back to the manor, but didn't expect to see him walk through the main entrance, but upon returning, she had to alight from the carriage and pass through the side door. This mama immediately couldn't endure it, and upon seeing Ji Zhen speak, thought that Ji Zhen was a new concubine of some master from the manor.

It could be said that this person was the most beloved servant girl beside Old Liu.

With that in mind, the wet nurse immediately stood up straight and confronted Ji Zhen at the front of the carriage, "This old one wants to see, who dares to be disrespectful to Young Master Biao, who dares to stop us from returning home!"

"Go and help Miss Xue'er down. Everyone else is not allowed to enter the manor. As for this Senior Servant, she should still be within the manor. "Since she's a servant, how dare she talk to her master like that? The person has opened his mouth for forty years and is now locked in the dark room!" Ji Zhen dealt with it cleanly, and simply did not give the Old Liu who had just arrived any chance to do so, and turned to walk into the Palace.

"Go find a doctor and let the gatekeeper have a good look. This slut is waiting for the Liu Estate to send someone to fetch him." Ji Zhen looked at the Old Liu who went forward to support the man, and an indescribable rage filled her heart.

"Ji Zhen! How could you do that, he's still your cousin! " Old Liu roared at Ji Zhen.

"Cousin?" "Why can't I remember having such a relative!"
