In the end, Gu Yun didn't have the heart to call her, he just held her like this the whole way, and occasionally stretched his arms, but he didn't wake her up. Xie Jingxi was probably really tired, and slept soundly.

”Why didn't you call me!”

Xie Jingxi looked at him in rebuke, and at the same time massaged his numb arms, ”This way, your arms will die!”

Xie Jingxi understood some of the acupuncture points, and so she was able to knead them quite well for Gu Yun. Gu Yun smiled as he looked at her vexed look, ”It's fine, he will be fine himself in a while, but where did you learn all these techniques?”

”I read it in the book. In the past, my grandmother's health was not good, so I would always read some books like this. I only knew a little bit about it, nothing more.”

Xie Jingxi casually made up a lie and it ended well. As expected, Gu Yun did not ask anymore and brought her down the carriage. It was still the same courtyard as last time. However, the last time she left, it was already dark. She didn't see anything.

”Is this your yard?”

”This really isn't my courtyard.”

When Xie Jingxi saw his look of disdain, it was as if she was saying how his courtyard could be so ugly. She suddenly wanted to laugh.

Although the courtyard was huge, it was constructed very casually, and did not care about the detours of the courtyard. Xie Jingxi had sharp eyes, with one glance, she saw a small flower house behind a small pavilion, and looked around with interest.

”Can I go over there?”

If she wanted to go, of course Gu Yun would listen to her, so they brought her along. At first glance, the garden looked like it was filled with a bunch of flowers and plants, but after looking carefully, they were all flowers and plants that could be used for medicinal purposes. Xie Jingxi was suddenly interested, and looked left and right.

”The master here is quite interesting. Did you bring me here to see him? The last time I came here to bother you, I didn't even meet you.

”My Grandson's Wife has eyes, haha …”

Just as Xie Jingxi finished speaking, she saw a person suddenly scuttled over from the side. Just his laugh caused her to jump in fright, she took a closer look, and discovered that it was a white bearded old man. Xie Jingxi nodded to greet him, ”Greetings, Old Uncle.”

”Can't you use the normal way the next time you come out?”

”Oh, a brat like you sure knows how to protect your own head. Every time I scare you, I don't see that you're afraid. How come my Grandson's Wife is worse than you!”

Grandson's Wife? It was only then that Xie Jingxi noticed the way he addressed her. Could this be Gu Yun's grandfather? Xie Jingxi looked at Old Man Ji again, her eyes filled with respect and reverence.

If the original Marquis' Wife s of the Marquis Anfeng Palace were mentioned, there might not be many people who would remember it. However, when it came to the Ji Family, they were very famous. The Ji Family was the first and only king with a different surname from the rest of the Great Chen. Back then, the ancestors of the Great Chen did not belong to the current line of the royal family, and if the ancestors of the Ji family had not given their seats to the Liu Family, then the current surname of the Ji family would have been the first and only king with a different surname from the rest.

However, no matter how prosperous the family was, or how outstanding their ancestors were, they couldn't care less about the matters of the next three generations. Although the Ji family had the blessing of the Great Ancestor to pass on the throne from generation to generation, they could not afford to have a few disappointing descendants.

He was originally the successor that the clan had focused on, but unexpectedly, the Old Man Ji was obsessed with the way of medicine since young, running away from home in his teens to pay respects to some random mountain prince as a master. He left immediately for more than ten years, and only then returned after the Old Duke had passed away.

After the death of the King, the Old Man Ji naturally succeeded to the throne. However, no one could have expected that the second day, the Old Man Ji would resign and dissolve the throne. Back then, this matter could be said to be causing an uproar. In the past, Xie Jingxi had heard his grandmother say a few times, but she could still vaguely remember her saying that the Old Man Ji was an intelligent cloud.

However, the Old Man Ji King did not like to do it, but he had talent in the way of medicine. His methods were not the orthodox type of medicine, he travelled through mountains and rivers, and had dabbled in all kinds of poisons.

The late emperor originally wanted to bestow him with status and reputation, but the Old Man Ji left right after that, and no one saw him again after that. It was impossible for Xie Jingxi to not know the name of the Old Man Ji when she studied the way of medicine. She knew that Gu Yun's biological mother's surname was Zhang, and never thought that it would actually be a family.

He did not know that Old Man Ji had a daughter and even married into the Marquis Anfeng Palace. Just from the fact that Old Man Ji was bored with the aristocratic families, he must have truly disliked this marriage from the bottom of his heart. Furthermore, the Lady Ji would not be married for long, no wonder Gu Yun's ancestors were not present when they were married.

”So it's Grandfather. Jingwan was rude just now.”

Without needing Gu Yun to introduce his, she was already blissful and called out his grandfather's name, making Old Man Ji extremely happy.

”Aiya, my good Grandson's Wife, quickly call me that again. My old man has not heard of grandfather in all these years.”

Just as Xie Jingxi was about to speak, she was stopped by Gu Yun behind him, ”Old Man Ji, these three words are not for nothing, what if you bully our Xi's thick skin?”
