Wei Yi pursed his lips. "I should have left you in the capital instead."
Jing Rong replied, "You have a glib tongue, but your brain …"
He dragged the last word as he stared at Wei Yi's head. At that moment, he really wanted to pry it open and see what was inside.
Wei Yi smirked. "I'm not stupid."
"I didn't say you were stupid. You said it yourself."
"Hmph."
Jing Rong laughed. "Alright, go and rest. It's already so late."
"I'm not going."
He was very stubborn.
Jing Rong's eyes darted around as he suddenly thought of something.
The corners of his lips curled upwards.
I heard that this place has been haunted recently. Those ghosts especially like to come out at night, and those who sleep late will be caught by them. They will fry them in a pan of oil, then chop them up and feed them to the dogs. "
Ah!
Wei Yi almost fell off his chair. He hugged his head and screamed in fear.
Jing Rong's words were very effective!
Jing Rong felt that it was not enough. He continued, "I also heard that this courtyard is haunted. If you stay too long, you will be possessed by the ghosts, and then …"
Before he could finish, Wei Yi had already run back to his room screaming.
He slammed the door shut.
Jing Rong grinned from ear to ear.
How dare you challenge this Prince!
Meanwhile, inside the room, Aunty Xie said, "Teacher Ji, how long do we have to stay here? About my daughter … "
"Not too long. There's still one more thing to do. I know you're anxious, but don't worry. Since I've already accepted your daughter's case, I'll naturally see it through to the end."
"Mm. Since Teacher has said so, I'll listen to you. I won't disturb you any longer."
Aunty Xie stood up and prepared to leave.
Ji Yunshu suddenly asked, "What does Ye 'er's father do?"
"Blacksmith, blacksmith."
"I didn't expect a blacksmith to be able to make such an exquisite doll." Ji Yunshu's words carried a deeper meaning.
However, Aunty Xie did not hear it. She only said, "Ye 'er's father is skilled with his hands. The things he makes are all very beautiful. Ye' er's favorite is the doll her father made for her."
At this point, Aunty Xie was on the verge of tears.
She didn't want Aunty Xie to lose control of her emotions. If she started crying, she wouldn't know how to comfort her.
After sending him off, she placed a piece of paper on the table and prepared to draw out the tattoo on Old Master Chang's ankle.
Just as she was about to write, Jing Rong's body swung into the room. He leaned against the door and stared at her.
Ji Yunshu felt uncomfortable being stared at, so she raised her eyelids.
He asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Look at you."
"What's there to see?"
"You can see anything."
Glib tongue!
Ji Yunshu was rendered speechless, so she simply ignored him and began to paint.
Jing Rong came in and stood at the side so as not to disturb her. After she finished drawing the tattoo, he asked, "Why did you draw this?"
"It might be related to the case."
"This King is curious. Tattoos are not something rare. Who doesn't have one?" He raised his eyebrows.
Ji Yunshu wrinkled her nose and looked at him from head to toe. "Could it be that Your Highness also has it?"
"Yes, do you want to have a look?"
Ji Yunshu was speechless.
Jing Rong smiled wickedly. He walked around the table and walked to Ji Yunshu's back. He stretched out his hand and grabbed her slender waist.
He trapped her in his arms.
At that moment, Ji Yunshu's whole body went limp and numb. Every cell in her body tensed up. She froze.
She forgot to push him away.
Jing Rong was even more presumptuous. He pressed his lips against her earlobe and breathed lightly.
"How about this Prince strip naked now and let you see the tattoo on my body? Then, you can draw it."
His ambiguous and flirtatious words accompanied by his warm breath reached Ji Yunshu's ears.
When she regained her senses, she put down the brush in her hand and struggled to escape.
"What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Unfortunately, she was not strong enough.
Jing Rong hugged her tightly from behind. The smile on his face became wider. "This Prince really has it, but it's not a tattoo. It's a birthmark. It's on my buttocks. Why don't we close the door? This Prince will let you see if Old Master Chang's or this Prince's is prettier."
Shameless!
Ji Yunshu glared at him. "I don't want to have a needle's eye."
"What's a needle's eye?"
"Let go of me first and I'll tell you."
Jing Rong obeyed and released her.
Ji Yunshu took a deep breath and quickly jumped to the side. She pointed to the door. "Go to the door first. You'll know what a needle's eye is when you look up."
"At the door?"
"Above the door."
Jing Rong was dubious, but he was helpless. His curiosity got the better of him. He walked to the door and looked up, but there was nothing but wood.
Just as he was about to question her …
"Peng!"
The door slammed in his face.
He was left with Ji Yunshu's smile as she closed the door.
"Ji Yunshu!"
Jing Rong roared.
Ji Yunshu said, "Your Highness, you should rest early. Otherwise, you won't have the energy to go to the House of Serenity tomorrow."
After all, he had to conserve his energy to go to the House of Serenity.
Ji Yunshu blew out the candles in the room and lay on the bed to rest.
Seeing that there was no light in the room, Jing Rong's face turned green. He put his hand on the door and was vexed. How could he be so stupid to believe Ji Yunshu's words and come to the door to see a needle's eye?
This …
Even Wei Yi wouldn't fall for it. How could he, a dignified prince, believe it?
He felt angry and amused at the same time.
In the end, he could only return to his room.
…
The next morning.
Ji Yunshu tidied herself up and wore a more conspicuous dress. She also stuck two pieces of mustache on her mouth. She looked like a man.
Jing Rong was waiting at the entrance of the courtyard early in the morning. He stared at her with a pair of eyes that seemed to carry tens of thousands of electric currents.
He was still angry about yesterday's matter, but when he saw the two pieces of mustache on her mouth, all his anger disappeared.
"Not bad. You look … not bad." Jing Rong touched his chin and looked at her with a faint smile.
Ji Yunshu glared at him. "Let's go."
The two of them went out without informing Fang Mingshan.
They arrived at the House of Eternal Serenity.
Standing at the door, Ji Yunshu smelled a strong fragrance of perfume, causing her to sneeze. This fragrance was comparable to the fragrance on Ji Muqing's body.
"Hey, who are these two masters? Why haven't I seen them before? Why are you standing at the door? Quick, come in and have a seat. "
Two gorgeously dressed women waved their handkerchiefs as they came forward to grab Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong's arms.
Jing Rong coldly pushed the woman away.
The woman was displeased. "Didn't this master come here to have fun? Why do you still look like this? "
Ji Yunshu snickered inwardly. In a rough voice, she took the initiative to pull the lone woman to her side and spoke in a mocking tone.
"It's my big brother's first time here, so he's a little embarrassed. Two beauties, please don't make things difficult for him. This master won't push you away. Both of you look so handsome, I like you."
"This master has a glib tongue."
The two women snuggled closer to her.
Ji Yunshu also took the opportunity to pinch their waists. Then, she swaggered into the House of Eternal Serenity.
