"Xiaotang..." As soon as Ji Xiaomu spoke, his voice was hoarse and almost broken.

"Big brother, sit in my room for a while." Ji Xiaotang said.

Ji Xiaomu naturally obeyed.

Ji Xiaotang invited Ji Xiaomu to sit in the upper room of Yanhua Hall, and ordered someone to send tea.

Ji Xiaomu didn't touch the teacup at all. He was in a hurry to ask Ji Xiaotang to speak.

Ji Xiaotang raised his hand to stop Ji Xiaomu.

"Brother, you drink tea first before talking. If you don't drink tea, I won't listen to you."

"Okay." Ji Xiaomu picked up the teacup and drank it all in one go.

The tea slid across his throat and fell into his stomach. Ji Xiaomu was absent-minded and noticed something strange. What he had just drunk was not ordinary fragrant tea. The tea he drank had a faint fragrance of medicine. When it slid across his throat, he felt a sweet and comfortable throat.

Ji Xiaomu immediately understood. Ji Xiaotang noticed his throat and specifically ordered someone to make medicinal tea for him to moisten his throat.

"Xiaotang..." Ji Xiaomu's voice was not as dumb as before, but he was choked.

"The body is my parents, my elder brother, no matter what, you must take good care of your body first. The elder brother looks like this. Not only me, but my grandmother, my parents, and my uncle, are all worried about the elder brother."

"This is mine, and I am worried for me. And Xiaotang, as the elders, I cannot take care of Xiaotang, but instead let Xiaotang be for me..." Ji Xiaomu lowered his head, his voice even more choked.

"Big brother, we are a family." Ji Xiaotang just said.

"Yes." Ji Xiaomu nodded. He felt a little guilty in his heart. He thought of Master Ji's secret actions.

He clearly had some doubts, but he did not stop Master Ji, nor did he inform Master Ji Er.

Compared to Mr. Ji Er, Mrs. Ji Er, Ji Xiaotang and others treat him, he feels guilty.

However, today he had something even more difficult to ask Ji Xiaotang for.

"...I'm really ashamed. I had no face to speak, but it was..., I want to beg Xiaotang..." Ji Xiaomu slowly slipped off the chair as he spoke. It meant he wanted to kneel down for Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang hurriedly gave a wink to the left and right, and immediately a little girl came up to support Ji Xiaomu and refused to let him kneel down.

"Big brother, please say something."

"Xiaotang, my elder brother wants to beg you..."

Ji Xiao begs Ji Xiaotang to find a way to save Mrs. Ji and Yang.

"...Maternal grandfather died, uncle, second uncle...Xuan Rang, cousin and others all died, grandmother also died, grandmother also died, grandmother...they were all dead. Grandfather rebelled, uncle and others..., even if the uncle and others knew, grandmother, aunt, and Pianpian, they didn't know, and they had never done anything bad..."

Ji Xiaomu burst into tears as he spoke.

"There are also my mother and your sister-in-law. They have already left the Yang family's sect. They are from the Ji family. They have never known about treason. How innocent they are..."

"Big brother," Ji Xiaotang interrupted Ji Xiaomu's words, "The court's laws and regulations are so lawful, and you and I can't do anything about it. Besides, the women and children of the Yang family are innocent, so what about the Ruge hometown back then!"

Ji Xiaomu's face turned red and he couldn't speak.

After a while of silence, Ji Xiaomu cried again.

"Xiaotang, I know that my request is very..., but..., no matter what..., Xiaotang, I know that my request is very selfish, but I..., I still beg you, please think of a way to save my mother and your sister-in-law."

"Where can there be a finished egg under the collapse of the nest?" Ji Xiaotang sighed, "Big brother should take a look at the Li family and the Zhang family."

The Li family and the Zhang family both married the daughter of the Yang family, so they were naturally implicated. The whole family was taken to prison. Although not all of them were sentenced to death, the ending would obviously not be very good.

"Yes!" Ji Xiaomu raised his hand to cover his face, "I know, compared to them, I shouldn't make such a request again. But..."

Even though he knew that he shouldn't have to, even if he knew that such a request was selfish, Ji Xiaomu couldn't help but ask for Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er, and finally asked for Ji Xiaotang's head.

"...That's my mother and wife, and Xiaotang's relatives..." Ji Xiaomu cried, "Xiaotang, as long as I can save them, I am willing to do anything. Even if I want to exchange my life for it, I am willing."

"Big brother, you shouldn't say such things. You are the eldest son of the Ji family, and your life is not only yours."

"Yes, Xiaotang is right, I would be unfilial if I did. But..." Ji Xiaomu raised his red eyes and looked at Ji Xiaotang.

"But, Xiaotang, your heart is so hard." Ji Xiaomu still said that.

Ji Xiaotang shook his head and sighed.

"Big brother, don't I want to save my sister-in-law and Pianpian?"

Ji Xiaomu's eyes lit up and then dimmed again.

"Xiaotang, forgive me, I am too impatient and crazy. I shouldn't have said that." Ji Xiaomu also knew that he was unreasonable when speaking like this.

Ji Xiaotang sighed silently again.

Ji Xiaomu was completely desperate, as if he had lost his soul. He didn't know how to say goodbye, so he just sat there, as if he didn't know what to do.

"I can go and give it a try." Ji Xiaotang suddenly said, looking at Ji Xiaomu.

Ji Xiaomu suddenly came back to his soul.

"I'm going to give it a try, but I can't guarantee whether the person I can save is back."

"Do I dare to ask Xiaotang for your promise? No matter how shameless I am, I will not be like this. Xiaotang, as long as you are willing to try, no matter what the result is, my elder brother will be grateful to you for the rest of his life." Ji Xiaomu said the truth.

"Even if the person is rescued, there will be a lot of trouble in the future. At that time, you have to take it on your shoulders, brother. Are you willing to bear it, can you bear it?"

"Xiaotang, as long as the person you saved comes back, if you have any trouble in the future, I will take it all my strength." Ji Xiaomu raised his hand and swore.

"Okay. Since the eldest brother has such a determination, there is one thing that the eldest brother must bear." Ji Xiaotang said calmly.

"What's the matter?" Ji Xiaomu asked anxiously.

He was anxious to ask Ji Xiaotang what was going on. It seemed that Ji Xiaotang said that he could immediately save Mrs. Ji and Yang.

Ji Xiaotang shook his head secretly. If Ji Xiaomu knew what she was going to say, she would not be so anxious.

She originally planned to hide that matter and then exposed it.

However, Ji Xiaomu's performance these days has changed her mind. The Ji family has a small population, and now that they have grown up, they can take on even fewer things, so they are even more precious.

Xinhuatang must be supported by someone. Ji Xiaotang has completely given up on Master Ji. She hopes that Ji Xiaomu can take on this responsibility.

But Ji Xiaomu is a very talented scholar. From birth to entering the officialdom, he is protected very well. Ji Xiaomu is like a flower in a greenhouse and has never experienced the storm.

But Ji Xiaomu's performance in the past few days made Ji Xiaotang feel that Ji Xiaomu's essence is pretty good and he is a material that can be made.

When I thought about giving up Master Ji San, it was always a knot in Ji Xiaotang's heart, and the final result also made Ji Xiaotang feel relieved and proud. Now that Ji Xiaomu can be transformed, she would rather spend more effort on Ji Xiaomu.

"I can save my sister-in-law. However, whether the eldest aunt wants to save me needs to make a decision. Before making this decision, I will ask my elder brother to see something..."
