Originally, Ji Xiuping had indeed made up his mind not to be fooled, but for some reason, when he was about to say rejection, his eyes fell on the woman bathed in the moonlight who looked completely different from before.

When the words came to his lips, Ji Xiuping actually swallowed them back. Instead, he asked out of nowhere: "What's your suggestion?"

Mu Daiyao raised her head, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and thought about how she had sacrificed so much without regrets and spent the first half of her life with vain hope, only to end up with a bad death.

In the previous life, everyone was envious of having a husband-in-law who did not take concubines, and five step-sons who each had their own achievements. From a village woman to a nobleman in the capital that was envied by thousands of people, he had no worries about food and drink, and had luxurious clothing. It can be said that he had a perfect life.

life.

Who knows how many shadows and shortcomings are hidden behind this seemingly perfect appearance.

After a moment of silence, Mu Daiyao lowered her head. At this time, the sad look on her face had disappeared, leaving only a hint of perseverance.

"When you do business with anyone in the future, never reveal what you want first, otherwise you will always be inferior to the other party."

Her tone was calm, and she didn't seem to have any intention of asking Ji Xiuping to listen.

After saying this, Mu Daiyao crossed the threshold of the study and left straight away.

This actually made Ji Xiuping a little confused and couldn't figure out what Mu Daiyao was thinking.

The simple-minded Ji Xiukai reached out and scratched his messy hair, feeling a little confused, "Brother, what does this woman mean, why can't I understand it?"

Ji Xiuping frowned and didn't have the energy to explain, so he just responded casually, "Yeah."

"Fourth brother, do you understand?"

Seeing that Ji Xiuping was immersed in his own thoughts, Ji Xiukai did not dare to beep any more. He just bumped Ji Xiujing who was wiping his tears with his elbow and asked.

"Second brother, you are so smart and don't understand, how can I possibly understand?"

Ji Xiujing subconsciously waved his hand to deny it, but he also silently kept Mu Daiyao's words in his heart. Whether he understood it now or not, he subconsciously felt that what this woman said would definitely be of great help to him in the future.

But it is strange to say that he had always looked down on this wild country woman before, thinking that she had no culture and would only embarrass the Ji family?

Mu Daiyao, who had already walked far away, didn't bother to think about what the third son of the Ji family was muttering in the study. Anyway, it had nothing to do with her.

As for the advice she gave Ji Xiuping, Mu Daiyao pursed her lips, with a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes.

She must have been the mother of those little brats in her last life. Even though her hatred was overwhelming, she would always think of herself at a certain moment as she watched them grow up.

In addition, Mu Daiyao has made up her mind that she will never care about their ideas in this life, and she does not know how their lives will develop in the future, which makes her temporarily soft-hearted...

Forget it, just treat it as what she felt after looking at the moon. As for whether Ji Xiuping could listen to it or how much he listened to it, that was not something she needed to worry about.

She is just a stepmother, not someone else's biological mother. If she cares too much, it will serve no other purpose except wasting her feelings and time.

"When I do business with others in the future, how could she know about me? I obviously didn't tell her anything."

Until Mu Daiyao walked away, Ji Xiuping still looked at her leaving back in a daze and murmured to himself. He couldn't understand the true intention of what this woman said to him.

Are you threatening him?

It doesn't really look like it, but if it was a sincere suggestion given to him, Ji Xiuping would be even less likely to believe it.

"Brother, brother, what are you doing?"

Ji Xiukai stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Ji Xiuping's eyes, and said impatiently: "That woman has gone far away, are you still thinking about what she said?"

There is no need for Ji Xiuping to be too preoccupied. Ji Xiukai, the second son of the Ji family, has always believed in one thing: not to think about things that you can't understand. It's just something that fools would do if they rack their brains and can't solve the problem.

So to a certain extent, he can be regarded as a man of great wisdom.

"Nothing, let's go back to the room and rest."

Ji Xiuping took one last deep look at Mu Daiyao's back, then looked away, shook his head, and took Ji Xiujing's hand, not forgetting to tell Ji Xiukai: "Also, don't do it in the future.

It’s okay to provoke that woman, at least stay calm recently when dad is around.”

Although Ji Xiukai was a little scared about tonight's experience, he raised his hand and touched his throat, and still murmured unconvincingly: "Brother, you are obviously a coward."

Seeing that Ji Xiuping did not pay attention to him, but led him away from the study, Ji Xiukai quickly turned his head and glanced at the study that looked a bit cold under the candlelight. After shivering, he quickly followed.

He is not cowardly, he just feels that he needs to stay with his eldest brother and fourth brother to protect them!

"Brother, do you think we still need to copy books?"

"Don't copy."

"But brother, will dad punish us if we don't copy it?"

"That woman will carry it for us."

Ji Xiukai was chirping around Ji Xiuping all the way, and Ji Xiuping responded one after another, but his mind was not on it at all, and he didn't know where he went.

Ji Xiujing was also smart. He looked at his elder brother and knew that talking now would definitely annoy people, so even if he remembered that Sister Tong was still waiting for them in the yard, he did not remind him.

Anyway, the third sister and the fifth sister are also there to accompany me, so it shouldn't have much impact whether they are there or not.

What's more, that woman and her father will definitely pass by the yard when they want to go back to their room. Maybe Sister Tong can help them out.

Hearing Ji Xiuping's confident answer, Ji Xiukai was quiet for a while, but he couldn't help but raise his own question.

"But brother, can daddy listen to her?"

The moment he opened the door, Ji Xiuping sighed. He didn't know whether he was answering Ji Xiukai's question or talking to himself.

"If it were before, Daddy would definitely not listen to her, but after tonight, do you still feel that that woman has no status in Daddy's mind?"

It seemed so. Ji Xiukai flattened his mouth, closed it and said no more.

Although admitting this made him feel a little unhappy, the joy of not copying books had already taken over, and he quickly put this little discomfort behind him.

Until he finished washing himself and threw himself on the bed tiredly and fell asleep, Ji Xiuping had completely forgotten that his two sisters were still in the yard.
