Second Hand
Jing Xuan was used to being unruly and willful!
However, everyone had a sensitive weakness, and Jing Xuan was no exception. What she hated the most was people saying that she wasn't beautiful enough.
She couldn't be blamed. When she was young, Jing Xuan was dark and petite, which caused the other princesses to look down on her.
This was also the reason why the Emperor and Concubine Xiao agreed to marry Jing Xuan to a distant clan. They were worried that the ugly, dark, and unruly Jing Xuan wouldn't be able to get married.
But who would have thought that the ugly girl would grow to be more beautiful, and her skin would become fairer and fairer, becoming a slender and elegant woman!
However, Jing Xuan still hated it when people said that she wasn't beautiful. As long as she heard it, she would lose her temper.
She took a step back. "But he's a fool. What right does he have to say that I'm ugly?"
"I'll say it again. Wei Yi is not a fool." Ji Yunshu's tone became more serious.
"I …"
Jing Xuan looked at Ji Yunshu's fierce eyes and was momentarily speechless.
"Although you are a princess, and we commoners have to obey your orders, you should know how to respect people. You shouldn't insult people by calling them a fool."
"What insult? I didn't! It's that fool … "She swallowed the word 'fool'." He said it first. "
"Anyone would say that, but Wei Yi wouldn't."
Yes, Ji Yunshu firmly believed that Wei Yi wouldn't say such words.
Jing Xuan's eyes flashed a few times. She seemed to have a guilty conscience, and her voice became weak. "He … That's what he said."
"Forget it. Even if Princess is angry, you've already broken so many potted plants. It can be considered as helping you vent your anger. His Highness should be here soon. If he knows that Princess is making a fuss, I'm afraid … Princess will have to lie in bed for another month."
Yes, she used Jing Rong to threaten her!
The effect was quite obvious. Jing Xuan immediately became angry. She was really scared!
However, the anger in her chest still lingered and didn't dissipate. She was unwilling to give up and looked at the closed door.
She snorted. "It's fine if you don't make a fuss, but this Princess wants that brat to apologize to me."
Jing Xuan was about to rush over to Wei Yi, but Ji Yunshu reacted quickly. She grabbed Jing Xuan's arm just as she was about to turn around her shoulder and pulled her back.
Since the ground was covered with mud from the potted plants, Jing Xuan was pulled by the force and her feet slipped, causing her body to fall backward.
Seeing that her body was about to fall into the water wheel pond behind her, her eyes suddenly widened in shock.
Fortunately, Ji Yunshu grabbed her slender waist and forcefully pulled her in front of her.
The distance between the two of them was only a finger's length.
Jing Xuan's forehead happened to bump into Madam Ji's eyebrows. Her ice-cold nose also felt the warmth of Ji Yunshu's lips.
He could not help but tense up!
That kind of feeling was very subtle, causing Jing Xuan's heart to beat violently. An unknown emotion welled up in her, and her cheeks and ears immediately turned red as if they were burning.
Ji Yunshu let go of Jing Xuan and took a step back. She didn't seem to notice Jing Xuan's abnormality.
She only said, "Princess, please don't make a fuss. It's getting late. It's more important to return to the palace as soon as possible."
Jing Xuan bit her lips and immediately covered her burning cheeks with both hands. Her chest heaved up and down, and she immediately rushed out of the courtyard.
'What's going on?
Wasn't she so aggressive just a moment ago? '
But in any case, Jing Xuan managed to send her away, and this nonsense finally came to an end.
Looking at the smashed flowers and plants in the courtyard, it really made people's hearts ache.
Ji Yunshu shook her head and sighed.
Then, she looked at the maidservants around her and said, "Please tidy up this place."
"Yes!"
The maidservants complied.
Ji Yunshu entered the room and saw Wei Yi sitting on a pear blossom chair with his legs curled up. His sturdy arms were hugging his knees, and a pair of clean eyes were looking straight at her.
He was no longer frightened, and at this moment, he was very quiet.
Ji Yunshu walked in front of him and looked at him with lowered eyebrows.
"Shu 'er, I didn't scold her!" Wei Yi said innocently.
Ji Yunshu squatted down, her slender hands tightly grasping Wei Yi's hands that were resting on his knees.
She softly said, "I know. Wei Yi is a kind person. How could he scold someone?"
"It was that big sister who knocked over a pot of flowers. I said that the flowers were very beautiful and it would be a pity if they were broken. She scolded me."
"Well, it's already in the past. Let's not talk about it anymore."
Wei Yi nodded.
Ji Yunshu sighed with emotion. "In the end, was it right to bring you to the capital? Or was it wrong? Perhaps, I should have left you in Jinjiang instead of bringing you here. "
"No!" Wei Yi shook his head vigorously. "I want to follow you."
"Wei Yi, I promised your parents that I would always take care of you. But, ever since you met me, you have always been unlucky. Do you know that? If it weren't for me, your parents wouldn't have died. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to experience the pain of being separated from your family. You would also have to follow me to the capital and live in fear all the time. Wei Yi, I have let you down. "
Ji Yunshu's eyes reddened and the tip of her nose turned sour. Guilt and sadness rose from the bottom of her heart. It was like countless knives cutting at her, churning her heart like a raging river.
As for her words, Wei Yi didn't quite understand.
He blinked his beautiful eyes, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down. "Shu 'er, I'm most afraid of you leaving me. Don't send me back to Jinjiang alone, okay? I want to follow you, and then we will go back together. "
"Then, aren't you afraid? If you continue to stay here, what happened today might happen again. "
"I'm not afraid. As long as Shu 'er doesn't leave me, I'm not afraid of anything. Shu' er, believe me."
'He's acting like a man!'
She endured the churning pain in her heart and smiled. "Okay, I believe you." She stood up and said, "It's terrible outside. Let's go out and help everyone clean up the courtyard, okay?"
"Okay!"
She readily agreed.
Just before the two of them left, Wei Yi suddenly pulled her back and took out the box from before.
He beamed and said, "This is for you. You said you would look at it when you came back."
Ji Yunshu took the box and opened it. The first thing she saw was a plum blossom. Under the plum blossom, there was an exquisite silver necklace.
The silver necklace was engraved with a very exquisite wavy pattern. There were also some very beautiful ancient patterns. Around the silver necklace, there was a circle of golden thread that almost couldn't be seen if one didn't look carefully. Next to the necklace were two small bells. One was gold, and the other was silver.
It was indeed very beautiful!
However, Ji Yunshu was an archaeologist after all. She knew a little about the restoration of antiques. Although she wasn't an expert, she had seen a lot of things and had some superficial knowledge.
Therefore, this silver necklace was obviously a refurbished version!
In other words, it was a second-hand good!
