Although Luo Yang's little tricks were shrewd, he had caused Zhao Quanzhi to lose face. This debt would not be settled so easily.
Presumably, Zhao Quanzhi would be looking for the servant boy in the manor right now.
When Ji Yunshu saw that Luo Yang was still wearing the manservant's clothes, she reminded him, "You should hurry back. If Zhao Quanzhi finds out that it's you, he will definitely make a big fuss and implicate Young Master Wen."
"You … are you worried about me? Or the one surnamed Wen? "Luo Yang was unhappy.
"We were brought into the manor by Young Master Wen. Naturally, we can't involve them."
"What do you mean involve? If I really get caught, I will say that the one surnamed Wen ordered me to do it. I will let them taste the feeling of being wronged."
"Then aren't you framing them and being unjust?" "I don't care if they're being unjust or not. They originally owed me and promised me a bright future when we arrived at Yan Capital. But now, we are trapped here and can't go anywhere. They didn't even mention it. Maybe they have already forgotten about it! Why?
I don't even know if I have a bright future or not. If I don't, why can't I drag them down and teach them a lesson? In any case, I can vent my anger! "Luo Yang angrily said.
Regardless of the time and place, he always had a lot of excuses. No one could beat his mouth!
But thinking about it from another's perspective, Luo Yang's anger wasn't without reason. After all, it had already been a few days, but Wen Che had yet to give him an explanation. He was anxious and angry.
Ji Yunshu also knew that it was useless to say anything more, so she urged him to quickly leave.
Before he left, Ji Yunshu didn't forget to remind him of the two things he had promised her.
"This young master will remember!"
Luo Yang raised his voice and slipped out of the courtyard.
Ji Yunshu sat in the room and rubbed the space between her brows. She was very tired today.
But she didn't know that outside the window, a figure was leaning against the wall. Jing Rong's expression was stern and cold. He held a long black sword in his hand. He didn't know how long he had been there, but he had heard the entire conversation between Ji Yunshu and Luo Yang. He had always thought that Ji Yunshu was a gentle, weak, and sentimental girl. Her heart and mind were only filled with that person called 'Jing Rong'. He did not know that this woman had such a shrewd side to her. She had secretly investigated the matter of Wang Huai's murder, and the Supreme Court had searched for an entire day without finding any clues.
However, he had secretly gathered many clues and was even prepared to conspire with Luoyang to put on a show.
He was not a simple person!
The more curious he was about that woman, the more he recalled every word she had said to him.
Those words flashed through his mind again and again!
He was filled with confusion and entanglement.
Was he really 'Jing Rong'?
Was it really like what Ji Yunshu said? Did he disappear in the fire and come to Qujiang?
However, Su Ziluo, the only person who might know the truth, repeatedly emphasized that he was only a disciple of Great Master Gao Hui of Dragon Mountain Temple.
All of these were questions!
Now, he was ordered by Su Ziluo to secretly protect Ji Yunshu until she found evidence to prove the Heir Apparent's innocence.
In other words, he must not leave her side for even an inch! Inside the room, Ji Yunshu's eyelids drooped. She saw the flickering candlelight in the room, and a strong premonition suddenly welled up in her heart. After pausing for a few seconds, she got up and walked to the window. She opened the tightly closed window, and a gust of cold wind immediately poured in.
It penetrated into her bones and swept across her face, bringing with it a tingling sensation.
Outside the window, there was nothing but cold wind, lanterns, and a big tree.
The premonition in her heart was wrong!
'Jing Rong has been running away from me, so how could he appear here?'
She shook her head and helplessly smiled bitterly. She was not disappointed. Finally, she heaved a heavy sigh and closed the window.
When Jing Rong saw the figure inside the room gradually approaching, he immediately moved to the roof to avoid being discovered.
It was already late at night, and the surroundings were unreasonably quiet.
Ji Yunshu was about to close the unlatched door and rest when she suddenly heard a cat's meow from inside the room.
"Meow ~"
She heard the sound and looked down. She didn't know when a black cat had sneaked in.
How could there be a cat in the manor?
She bent down and held the cat in her arms. She rubbed its small head, but the cat stared at the pastries placed on the table and meowed madly.
It must be hungry.
Ji Yunshu's heart overflowed, and she carried the cat to the table and took out a piece of pastry for it to eat.
The black cat ate it bite by bite, and after a short while, it ate a small piece.
Ji Yunshu gently stroked its fur, and a rare smile appeared on her face.
At this time, someone softly shouted from outside, "Little Guozi? Little Guozi? Where did you run off to? "
Ji Yunshu glanced outside the door, and then looked at the black cat eating the pastry. It must be its master. She hugged the black cat, who was still wolfing down the pastry, and went out.
A little girl was looking everywhere in the courtyard, softly shouting "Little Guozi".
"You're looking for the cat?"
When the little girl saw Ji Yunshu come out with the kitten, she immediately rushed forward and hugged the cat. "Why did it run off to your place?"
"The cat isn't a thing, so of course it will run around."
"If it gets lost in the middle of the night, I'll be scolded again!"
"Then hurry up and take it away."
The little girl saw that there seemed to be pastry crumbs on the cat's mouth, and was immediately startled. She fiercely glared at Ji Yunshu and said, "Miss, this cat isn't an ordinary cat. How can you feed it so casually?"
Ji Yunshu: "Yes …"
"Hmph!"
The little girl didn't say anything else, and turned around to leave.
Ji Yunshu was left in a state of confusion.
…
The next day.
Zhao Quanzhi didn't sleep the whole night. Before the sun even rose, he began to look for the servant who brought him food and helped him bathe last night. He threatened to break the servant's hands and feet to avenge him.
However, all the servants in the manor searched one by one, but they couldn't find the person he mentioned. There wasn't even a shadow of him.
Zhao Quanzhi thought that they were deliberately covering up for him, so he was angry and scolded them one by one.
Now, the entire courtyard was filled with servants kneeling on the ground.
One of them said, "Young Master Zhao, there really isn't that person among us. If there is, we will definitely hand him over."
Zhao Quanzhi gave him a kick.
The servant kneeling in front was kicked to the ground, but he quickly propped himself up and said, "We really didn't lie."
"You still dare to say you didn't lie? Could it be that the person last night was a ghost? "
"This …"
"What this? Why aren't you quickly handing him over? Otherwise, I'll go talk to your Old Manor Lord. "
"Please don't do that!"
"Then why aren't you handing him over?"
"But there really isn't that person. You want me … Where can I find him for you?" The leading servant had a helpless expression. He wanted to cry, but no tears came out. His head was almost about to drop to the ground.
Zhao Quanzhi glared at him fiercely, looking as if he wouldn't let the matter rest.
This commotion woke up the other people in the courtyard, and they all got up to watch.
One of the young masters said, "Zhao Quanzhi, don't make things difficult for these dog servants. Maybe last night … you really met a ghost!"
"Maybe it was a sexy ghost."
"Hahaha …"
Everyone laughed unabashedly.
Zhao Quanzhi clenched his fists, glanced at the crowd fiercely, and scolded, "Nothing good comes out of your filthy mouths. If you dare to make any more jokes, when we return to Yan Jing City, you'll be in for it."
If it was before, everyone would definitely be afraid, and they wouldn't even dare to open their mouths to laugh. That was because Zhao Quanzhi had Li Shiyan backing him up, so they didn't dare to offend him. But now … a young man in white said, "Zhao Quanzhi, who do you think you are? You're just the son of Governor Jiang Guang. Who do you think you are? Swaggering around all day, showing off everywhere! If it wasn't because of the Crown Prince, who would care about you? To put it bluntly, you're just a dog under the Crown Prince. Now that your master has killed someone, once he's convicted, he'll be beheaded. Without the Crown Prince, you won't have anyone to protect you. At that time … you won't just be the Crown Prince's dog.
You'll be a dog in Yan Jing City! "
Someone echoed, "I'm afraid you'll be worse than a dog!"
