The entrance to the Ji Family's old residence.
Ji Nanshu had been standing at the door for several minutes, raising and lowering his hand to ring the doorbell. He longed for his family, yet he was also afraid.
In his past life, his master and mistress found him and imparted all their mystical arts to him. With his own talent, he became the national advisor of the Qiang Kingdom in just three years. However, less than half a year after becoming the national advisor, his master and mistress were killed by his enemies, and he had no family left.
So he hesitated, wondering what he should do if he gained something and then lost it.
The night the Ji Family found him, he had a dream. In that dream, he saw the original Ji Nanshu, and he still doesn't understand the two sentences he said.
Is it that the original owner still exists in his body, or... are they originally one person?
If the original owner is still in his body, what should he do when the original owner wakes up? But if that's the case, why does the original owner also possess mystical arts?
But if they were originally one person, how did he get to the Qiang Kingdom and how did he return from the Qiang Kingdom? Is his lost memory related to this?
etc--
The original owner didn't always live in Hai City, Ji Ya... Perhaps she should go back to where Ji Family grandmother lived; maybe she could find some clues.
Standing beside Ji Nanshu, Chu Mo watched his conflicted and hesitant expression and decisively pressed the doorbell for him.
"Go see them. Don't be afraid, you still have me."
Ji Nanshu hesitated for a few seconds, then bit her lower lip and nodded. "Wait for me."
"Go."
The person who opened the door was Ren Hui, the old butler of the Ji Family. As soon as he saw Ji Nanshu, he exclaimed with joy, "Young Master!! My goodness, you're finally back!!"
Before Ji Nanshu could react, he grabbed Ji Nanshu's hand, turned around and shouted, "Quick! Go tell the old master, young master Xianzhi, and young mistress!! Hurry!"
The Butler Ren's enthusiasm made Ji Nanshu feel a little overwhelmed, and he looked to Chu Mo for help.
Chu Mo smiled and ruffled his hair, saying, "Go ahead."
Only then did Butler Ren notice Chu Mo's presence. He asked in surprise, "Young Master Chu? What are you doing here? Are you back to see Master Chu?"
"Yes, Uncle Ren." After greeting him, Chu Mo turned and pointed to the next room, "I'll wait for you there."
After Chu Mo left, Ji Nanshu asked, "How... should I address you?"
"Young Master, you can just call me Uncle Ren, just like Young Master Chi and the others!"
Uncle Ren... have you seen me before?
Butler Ren chuckled and said, "As soon as the old master came back, he showed us all your photos one by one! You look so much like the late Madam!"
Before they knew it, the two were already standing in front of the living room door.
As soon as I entered, I heard banging and cursing sounds. Let's rewind five minutes...
" Ji Xingyao!! You get back here right now!!" Ji Ying grabbed Ji Xingyao's belt and pulled him back. "I want to see An'an first!!"
"You're talking nonsense! I'm the first one!" With that, the two started fighting.
Ji Xingxu glanced disdainfully at Ji Xingyao and Ji Ying, then quietly walked past, scoffing, "Foolish!"
The next second, Ji Xingyao and Ji Ying, who were wrestling on the ground, simultaneously shifted their target, grabbing Ji Xingxu's trouser leg and yelling, "You won't get away with this!!"
Ji Xingxu gripped his belt tightly, his face flushed red. "You two, let go of me!!! You're going to rip my pants off!!!"
Ji Ying and Ji Xingyao exchanged a glance, their smiles sinister. "We won't let you go! Go ahead and try if you dare!"
At this moment, Ji Xingyu also came down and encouraged him, "Keep it up!"
Then, as he prepared to head towards the door, Ji Xingxu adjusted his glasses, a cold glint flashing across the lenses. He pointed at Ji Xingyu and said, "Go!"
Then the three of them pounced on Ji Xingyu, wrestling and cursing at each other.
Ji Xingyu roared, "You three brats tricked me?!"
Ji Ying clung to Ji Xingyu's back like a koala. "What do you mean by 'tricking you'? My actions were perfectly reasonable!"
"You won't be able to outrun us!" This was Ji Xingyao was clinging to Ji Xingyu's leg.
"I'm the first one who can't see it, so don't even think about it!" This was Ji Xingxu, who was grabbing Ji Xingyu's arm.
Ming Yi was behind him, was still asking Ji Xianzhi, "Honey, is it okay for me to wear this? Do you think my makeup is smudged?"
Ji, the henpecked husband, Xianzhi, "Sure, sure! My wife looks good no matter what!"
Ji Xingchi, watching from the side, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. "Grandpa, let me help you over."
Apart from him and his grandfather, everyone in his family is completely unreliable!
(╯‵□′)╯┻━┻
Old Master Ji glanced at the four people on the ground and his son and daughter-in-law behind them, shook his head with disgust, and was about to speak when Butler Ren led Ji Nanshu in through the door.
So, this is the scene that greeted Ji Nanshu when he entered. He was momentarily speechless, emmmmm... Are the Ji Family always this lively?
Butler Ren coughed awkwardly twice and called out, "Master! Xianzhi, Young Madam, Young Master Chi, Young Master Yu, Miss Ying, Young Master Yao, Young Master Xu, and Young Master are back."
At this shout, the four people on the ground scattered and scrambled to their feet, shouting in unison, " An'an!!!"
Startled, Ji Nanshu involuntarily took a half-step back. Was it too late to run?
"Get out of my way!" Ming Yi kicked Ji Xingyao, who was closest to her, and walked towards Ji Nanshu. " An'an... my An'an, you're finally back... that's wonderful..."
Ming Yi choked up as she spoke, tears welling in her eyes. Ji Nanshu pulled out a tissue and handed it to her, saying, "You won't be pretty if you cry."
"Okay, okay, Mommy won't cry, won't cry." Ming Yi held back her tears and took Ji Nanshu's hand to the sofa. " An'an, let's sit down!"
"Hmm..." Ji Nanshu was never good at handling these tearful scenes, so he decided to say less...
Old Master Ji beckoned to Ji Nanshu: " An'an, come here."
Ji Nanshu hesitated for a second or two before sitting down next to Old Master Ji.
Old Master Ji took Ji Nanshu's hand, his face full of affection. " An'an..."
"Um."
"Don't be nervous, this is your home, and we are your family." Old Master Ji patted Ji Nanshu's hand.
With a look of embarrassment, Ji Nanshu whispered, "... I wasn't nervous."
How could the Imperial Advisor possibly be nervous?! Nonsense! All nonsense!
Old Master Ji stood up. "Come on, An'an, Grandpa will take you to your room! Old Ren, go tell the kitchen to prepare lunch!"
"Yes!"
Old Master Ji led Ji Nanshu by the hand, followed by Ji Xianzhi and his family, and went upstairs to the second floor.
Hands on hips I also updated two chapters today!
