Chapter 167: Truth (1)
At the same time!
The woman raised her sleeve to cover the tip of her nose with a disgusted expression.
On the stage, Mei Xiang 'er lowered her head even more. She used her hand to pull the shawl on her shoulder to cover her neck.
However, the purplish-red scar on her neck was still exposed.
It looked like it had been skinned and burned. Her skin and flesh were scrunched up, creating a terrifying sight.
However, if it was wrapped tightly, it would be hard to see.
Because the woman's voice was loud, the surrounding customers looked at Mei Xiang 'er. They started to discuss and point at her.
The innkeeper was afraid that his restaurant's reputation would be affected, so he explained the situation to the woman and ran to the stage.
He forcefully pulled Mei Xiang 'er's sleeve and fiercely whispered into her ear, "Didn't I tell you to cover your neck? How many times have you done this? Do you want me to do business or not? Do you really want to get lost? "
Mei Xiang 'er's body trembled. She bit her lips and trembled as she said, "I'm sorry, innkeeper. I didn't mean it. Just now, the wind blew, so …"
"Don't explain so much to me. Hurry up and leave."
"Innkeeper, I …" Mei Xiang 'er's eyes reddened.
The old man trembled as he got up. He bent his waist and pleaded with the innkeeper. "Innkeeper, please give us another chance. Xiang 'er didn't mean it. I beg you."
His voice was filled with tears and sounded desolate.
The innkeeper was a good person. He helplessly sighed and waved his hand. "Forget it, forget it. You can leave now and come back tomorrow."
"Thank you, innkeeper."
The two of them bowed and apologized.
Mei Xiang 'er supported the old man beside her as they slowly descended from the platform.
The innkeeper went back and said a few good words to the woman. Only then did he drop the matter.
Ji Yunshu silently watched the show from the side. On one hand, she loathed the woman's rude and arrogant words. On the other hand, she felt pity and pity for Mei Xiang 'er.
'What a delicate and pretty woman!
Heaven doesn't care! '
She took a deep breath and was about to leave the restaurant. However, she had only taken a few steps when she noticed a man in the distance.
The man was tall and burly. He wore the uniform of a restaurant chef and stood at the entrance to the kitchen. His bloodthirsty and sinister eyes stared straight at the female customer who had just made a ruckus in the other cubicle.
His hands were clenched into fists on both sides, and the veins on his back were bulging.
One could imagine how furious he was!
Ji Yunshu was puzzled. Could it be that this man was Mei Xiang 'er's lover? Was that why he was so angry?
But in his heart, another ominous premonition arose!
Her heart skipped a beat.
When the man returned to the kitchen, Ji Yunshu lightly shook her head. She quickly left the restaurant and rushed towards the Rong Estate.
Meanwhile, in the East Courtyard of the Rong Estate.
"Where is Teacher Ji?"
It was obvious that it was Jing Xuan.
Why didn't this woman stay in the palace and enjoy her life? Why did she run out of the palace every day?
The maidservant lowered her head and hurriedly replied, "Teacher Ji went out just now."
"Where did he go?"
"This servant doesn't know."
"You don't even know where a living person went. What a bunch of useless things." Jing Xuan placed her hands on her hips and fumed.
At this time, Wei Yi came out from inside. He held a bouquet of plum blossoms in his hand and was humming a song.
He looked very leisurely.
"Idiot!" Jing Xuan shouted at him.
Wei Yi glanced at her and instinctively took a step to the side. Then, he glanced at her again and walked towards the plum tree in the courtyard.
'What?
He's ignoring me?
Jing Xuan exploded in anger and followed him.
"Idiot, I'm calling you."
Wei Yi still ignored her. He turned around and looked at the plum blossoms in front of him. From time to time, he would brush the plum blossoms in his hand.
Jing Xuan's complexion turned green. She was very displeased.
This infuriated her. She pulled Wei Yi's sleeve and questioned him, "I'm talking to you. Why are you ignoring me?"
Because his sleeve was pulled by Jing Xuan, Wei Yi was forced to turn sideways to face her. He snorted.
"I'm ignoring you."
"Why?"
"Because I don't like you."
"I don't like you either." Jing Xuan glared at him and replied.
Wei Yi raised his hand and carefully removed Jing Xuan's hand from his body. He had a disgusted look on his face.
He didn't forget to say, "Shu 'er told me that a man shouldn't bicker with a girl. Last time you smashed the flowers in the courtyard, I'm not angry with you anymore. But I don't want to talk to you, so don't talk to me."
"You …"
Jing Xuan stomped her foot and waved her hand. She punched Wei Yi's arm and shouted, "Don't you know who I am? I'm a princess! "
"What's so great about being a princess? Mother said that everyone is equal. "He retorted and frowned. He scratched his head and asked," What's a princess? "
Pfft!
Jing Xuan was so angry that she vomited blood.
Right at that moment, Ji Yunshu returned. Her steps were as swift as the wind. She didn't even look at Wei Yi and Jing Xuan as she hurriedly entered the room.
When she saw Ji Yunshu, Jing Xuan immediately hid her anger. She pursed her lips and blushed.
Then, she ran into the house.
When Ji Yunshu entered the house, she found the documents about the missing girls' case that were sent by the capital governor.
These documents. She had only glanced at them before throwing them on the table. She didn't touch them again.
Now, she flipped through them one by one.
She spread them out on the table and began to flip through them.
Jing Xuan stood behind her and watched her busy for a long time before asking, "What are you doing?"
"…"
"I'll help you!" Jing Xuan stepped forward to help her.
Ji Yunshu hurriedly said, "No need."
"I just want to …"
Before she could say the word 'help', Ji Yunshu had already immersed herself in the project and ignored her.
'Are Ji Yunshu and Wei Yi bewitched today?
Why are they ignoring me?
I'm in a bad mood! '
Unfortunately, her temperament was the same as Jing Rong's.
She simply sat down in the room and accompanied Ji Yunshu while she was busy. Thinking about it, she felt very satisfied.
Ji Yunshu carefully read through the documents in front of her. She read every word very carefully, for fear that she would miss something important.
After about half an hour, her gaze finally lifted from the pile of documents.
She was astonished.
No, she was extremely anxious and panic-stricken.
"What did you see?" Jing Xuan asked her while propping up her cheeks.
Ji Yunshu suddenly stood up and said with a trembling voice, "If … it's really like this, then …"
