They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 452 Reunion and Recognition
In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts had already crossed Ji Yingxuan's mind.

Seeing him standing there in a daze, Liang Minglang assumed he was feeling homesick after seeing his wife, and felt a little annoyed. He thought to himself, "Doesn't this guy understand everything? What's with this act?" If it weren't for Lu Yin, he would never have let him see his wife again.
"Ahem, Brother Ji, please."

"please"

Ji Yingxuan gave Liang Minglang a deep look.

That meaningful look left Liang Minglang completely bewildered: He's sick!

Xu Zhichun and Lu Yin, who were talking quietly, heard a noise outside the door. Xu Zhichun subconsciously looked up, while Lu Yin stiffened and lowered her head, not daring to look.

Xu Zhichun stood up and nodded with a smile: "Young Master Ji!"

Ji Yingxuan strode in, bowed slightly, and greeted her politely, "Madam Xu, how have you been?"

Ji Yingxuan always held Xu Zhichun in high regard.

He had lived in Liangjia Village for some time and learned quite a bit about Xu Zhichun's actions. Even though she had taken over Zhichun's body, she was indeed a remarkable person.

"Young Master Ji, please have a seat."

"Thank you."

Liang Minglang sat down in the main seat, while the other main seat was empty because Xu Zhichun and Lu Yin were sitting in the two chairs on the right, so Ji Yingxuan sat in the chair on the left.

Upon hearing Ji Yingxuan's voice, Lu Yin felt dizzy, her mind reeling, and her heart pounding wildly.

She clenched her hands tightly, not daring to move.

Xu Zhichun gently patted her shoulder and smiled at Ji Yingxuan, "Young Master Ji, this is my sworn sister, Lu Yin."

Ji Yingxuan: "."

He was even more disappointed.

Who would introduce their adopted sister to a complete stranger right away?
What else could this be but a marriage alliance?
But is it possible?

impossible!
Ji Yingxuan smiled, his eyes turning cold, but his tone remained gentle: "I suddenly have something to attend to. I'll visit another day. Goodbye."

Xu Zhichun and Liang Minglang were both stunned.

Lu Yin suddenly looked up at him.

Ji Yingxuan subconsciously met her gaze and was stunned.

Why did he feel a sense of déjà vu?
Lu Yin's eyes slowly reddened.

Xu Zhichun sighed softly, "Young Master Ji, I wouldn't have easily accepted a sworn sister without a connection. Ah Yin and I have a deep connection, which is why I accepted her as my sworn sister. Young Master Ji is exceptionally intelligent; would you be interested in guessing what that connection is?"

Liang Minglang chuckled and mocked, "Lord Ji, please don't blame my wife for speaking so offensively."

Ji Yingxuan completely ignored him, secretly pondering Xu Zhichun's words. Looking at Lu Yin, he became increasingly afraid to think about it, his heart racing. "You, you—"

Lu Yin burst into tears. Those eyes, the look in them, gradually overlapped with his memories.
Fortunately, Ji Yingxuan did not change his mind. He recognized Lu Yin, and his fervent joy was undeniable.

Xu Zhichun tried to signal Liang Minglang with her eyes, but the man seemed to have no rapport with her and didn't understand her signal. Helpless, Xu Zhichun had no choice but to get up and pull him out herself.

Such a loving couple, finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, shouldn't they be able to properly express their feelings? What are they doing standing there like that?

More than a quarter of an hour later, Xu Zhichun and Liang Minglang returned to the flower hall.

Lu Yin's eyes were red and swollen, and she called out "Sister!" with some embarrassment. Ji Yingxuan also seemed to have tear stains on her face. She bowed and thanked the two of them, with a hint of shame on her face.

Xu Zhichun and Liang Minglang were both puzzled as to why he looked ashamed, but now was not the time to talk about it.

When everyone sat down to talk again, they were clearly much closer.

Ji Yingxuan's gaze was unconsciously drawn to Lu Yin.

Xu Zhichun smiled and congratulated Ji Yingxuan, who was extremely grateful. After exchanging pleasantries, they got down to business.

Now that things have come to this point, Lu Yin inevitably told Ji Yingxuan everything about her revenge.

Ji Yingxuan was shocked.

"."

Zhichun is actually the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Rong'an's first wife? How could this be?

Lu Yin said bitterly, "They shouldn't have killed my adoptive parents, and then they humiliated me like that. In the end, they couldn't even tolerate my living. When they saw that I had a way to live, they wanted me dead. I swear I will not be a man until I avenge this."

Ji Yingxuan coldly replied, "Of course I will report it. I also don't like the Rong'an Marquis's residence."

Xu Zhichun: "If none of us have any objections, then let's do it."

Ji Yingxuan: "Does Madam Xu have any plans to reclaim the Rong'an Marquis's residence?"

“Of course not,” Xu Zhichun smiled, “I could never acknowledge such so-called relatives, they’re disgusting!”

Furthermore, once they acknowledge each other as family, it becomes impossible to bring themselves to act ruthlessly. Otherwise, Liang Minglang, and even Liang Mingxuan, would be implicated.

Xu Zhichun: "I won't acknowledge it, but I can't let Marquis Rong'an know nothing about it either."

She will let them know her identity, but only in private. They have no chance of recognizing her.

After all, they had no evidence.

Xu Zhichun did not have any jade pendants or similar items on him that could serve as evidence.

But she had a token from the Rong'an Marquis's mansion.

Xu Zhichun took out the token. "This was given to me by Granny Wu of Jin Hua Lou. It was accidentally left behind by someone from the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion who went to Jin Hua Lou on business."

No matter how capable the Rong'an Marquis's mansion is, it's impossible for it to extend its influence thousands of miles away.

The two servants carried this token with them when they went on a long journey, so that they could use it as proof when necessary to request the local government to help them secretly.

When Wu's mother found the token, she inexplicably kept it quietly without making a fuss, and it ended up in Xu Zhichun's hands.

With this token, her words naturally had an extra layer of protection, and even if Marquis Rong'an didn't completely believe her, he couldn't remain completely unmoved.

Ji Yingxuan: "Great, wonderful!"

The four of them discussed it together.

As darkness fell, Xu Zhichun and Liang Mingliang decided to invite Ji Yingxuan to have dinner at their home. Ji Yingxuan agreed without hesitation.

He couldn't possibly take Lu Yin away; after all, it wouldn't sound good for a man and a woman to be alone together, and he wished he could live in the Wuxuan Marquis's residence.

It is foreseeable that he will visit Marquis Wuxuan many more times in the future.

During dinner, when the topic of Liang Mingxuan's schooling came up, Ji Yingxuan offered to teach and guide him, telling Liang Mingxuan that he could ask him any questions he had.

When the topic of visiting the Imperial Academy came up, Ji Yingxuan offered to accompany them, and Liang Minglang and Xu Zhichun expressed their sincere gratitude.

Xu Zhichun was of no use in the capital. Even though Liang Minglang was highly regarded by the emperor, he was nothing more than a brute in the eyes of the scholars at the Imperial Academy, who were born with a sense of superiority.

If Ji Yingxuan, the eldest son of the Ji family of Jinling and a former top scholar in the imperial examination, were to accompany them, the significance would naturally be different.

With Ji Yingxuan's help, and given Liang Mingxuan's already outstanding abilities, his entry into the Imperial Academy went very smoothly.

Going with the flow, Ji Yingxuan showed great appreciation and regard for Liang Mingxuan, and would visit the Marquis of Wuxuan's residence from time to time, which was not surprising to outsiders.

Everyone envied Marquis Wuxuan's good fortune in having a younger brother who had befriended the top scholar from the Xie family of Jinling, a promising Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

How many military generals and ministers have such luck to befriend a civil official of such caliber? Not a single one!
