Zhang Xinlan was annoyed that Ji Yunshu was ignoring her.
She nudged Ji Yunshu.
"Hey, are you deaf? Or are you mute? Didn't you hear what I said? If you heard me, why didn't you reply? Don't you know it's rude? "
"Do you know it's rude?" Ji Yunshu glanced sideways at her. Her expression was cold as she said, "If you have any manners, you should sit properly and not disturb others."
"Are you saying I'm noisy?"
"Miss Zhang, this one doesn't want to talk nonsense with you. I just hope you can understand that most people who die early in this world are those who think they're infallible."
"Are you scolding me?"
"You misunderstand. This one doesn't scold people, I'm just educating them. If you can't control your temper, you can only accept your fate. No one will pity you."
"You …"
Zhang Xinlan's face turned green with anger.
She was speechless.
Ji Yunshu continued, "Also, this one doesn't rely on luck to solve cases, but ability. If I really relied on luck, I wouldn't have met Miss Zhang today."
There was a deeper meaning in her words.
Although Zhang Xinlan was unruly, she was not stupid.
Ji Yunshu finally understood the meaning behind her words.
Ji Yunshu was saying that it was her bad luck to meet her.
She was so angry that her face turned red, but she couldn't hit her. She felt as if her throat was being choked and she couldn't speak.
She could only hold her breath for the rest of the journey.
When they arrived at the Lunar Aqua House, she got off the carriage with the scroll and rushed in.
Ji Yunshu also followed Constable Zhang in.
Inside the Lunar Aqua House, there was a large hall.
They were surrounded by walls made of bamboo. Inside, there were many blankets for resting, and there were also small tables.
Someone was resting!
Someone was eating!
At first glance, it looked like a restaurant.
It had a different taste.
"Are the three of you here to eat? Or to soak in the hot spring? "
The waiter came to welcome them.
Zhang Xinlan sat down and waved her hand, "You, go inside and tell Advisor Wen that someone is looking for him."
"Miss, are you looking for someone?"
"Didn't I just say that?"
"Alright, I'll call them for you right away." He then turned to Constable Zhang and Ji Yunshu, asking, "Then what does Constable Zhang and this young master want?"
Ji Yunshu said, "I'll have to trouble you to inform a Young Master Mo. He's with Advisor Wen. Tell him that a life is at stake and that he must come out."
After saying that, he sat down on another empty seat.
The waiter was stunned!
He scratched his head. What was going on?
The people who came here were either here to eat or to keep fit. Why would they come here to look for someone?
After being confused for a while, he finally went in to look for the person.
Constable Zhang stood in the middle, glancing at Zhang Xinlan, then at Ji Yunshu.
Sigh, who should I sit with?
One was his younger sister, the other was the prince's favorite, and this time, Official Fang had asked him to help solve the case.
He struggled for a while.
Might as well —
He found an empty seat and sat down. He asked for a bowl of water and gulped it down.
The three of them ignored each other and sat quietly in a triangular formation.
It looked a little comical!
As for the hot spring inside!
It was steaming hot and steamy, like a fairyland.
The path was paved with cobblestones, winding all the way around the hot spring and rockery.
The men walked back and forth with only a towel wrapped around them, while some were quietly enjoying themselves in the hot spring.
In the innermost high-class hot spring pool, there was a huge pool surrounded by pebbles of different sizes. Outside the pool, there was a circle of exquisitely carved screens.
It was separated from the 'big bathhouse' outside!
It was also very quiet.
Jing Rong, Mo Ruo, Wei Yi and Wen Lingyang were soaking in the hot spring, enjoying themselves.
Rose petals floated on the surface of the hot spring.
One look was enough to tell that they were enjoying themselves.
Because Wei Yi had been soaking for a long time, he was sweating profusely. All the cells in his body were bloated and his body was burning hot. He stood up from the water and touched his arms and chest …
Then he said to Mo Ruo, "Brother Mo Ruo, I feel so hot."
Mo Ruo placed his hands on the cobblestones outside the hot spring. He slowly removed the towel from his face and glanced at Wei Yi.
"If you're hot, let's go out and sit for a while."
"What about you?"
"I'll soak in some more."
He covered his face with the towel again.
Mo Ruo's fair and handsome face was flushed. He looked at Jing Rong in the distance, then at Wen Lingyang.
For some reason, he asked, "I remember when they slaughtered pigs during the New Year, my mother brought me to see it once. Before they slaughtered the pigs, they would put the pigs in a big bucket and soak them in hot water. Then, they would kill the pigs. Are we the same as the pigs? Are we soaked in hot water and then killed?"
Fear and terror!
Confusion filled his face.
Ugh!
The three of them removed their towels at the same time.
Jing Rong crumpled the towel into a ball and threw it at Wei Yi. Perhaps he used too much force, the towel hit Wei Yi's left arm. He stumbled and fell into the hot spring.
Plop!
He swallowed a few mouthfuls of water before popping his head out.
He coughed a few times and shouted at Jing Rong, "Why did you hit me?"
Jing Rong looked at him coldly and turned his head away. He closed his eyes and did not speak.
I'm cold, I don't want to talk to you.
Mo Ruo replied, "Little Wei, oh Little Wei, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
"Did I say something wrong?"
"What do you think?"
Wei Yi had completely forgotten about falling into the water. He sat back down in the hot spring, thinking for a long time but still could not figure out what he said wrong.
That's right!
You don't need to boil the water before slaughtering pigs!
Wen Lingyang looked at him and smiled warmly. "Young Master Wei is quite cute. If I had someone like him by my side, I wouldn't feel so bored."
Mo Ruo said, "Advisor Wen doesn't know how powerful this Old Ancestor of mine is."
"Oh? What do you mean? "
"You'll know when you ask him." He pointed at Jing Rong with his chin.
Wen Lingyang looked at Jing Rong, waiting for him to say something.
But Jing Rong was speechless!
At this moment, the waiter ran over and shouted through the screen.
"Advisor Wen, there's someone outside looking for you. A young master is looking for Young Master Mo, saying that it's a matter of life and death."
Huh?
A matter of life and death?
Mo Ruo raised his head and asked, "Who is it?"
"I don't know. It's Constable Zhang who brought them here. A young lady and a young master."
Wen Lingyang was the first to react. "It must be Teacher Ji. It must be about the case. Young Master Mo might need your help."
Mo Ruo nodded.
The four of them came out of the hot spring, wrapped in towels.
They dried themselves and put on their clothes.
Jing Rong tugged at his clothes and was about to put them on. Wen Lingyang was still drying his body with his back facing him when he noticed a scar on his waist.
His eyes narrowed.
"Advisor Wen, this scar on your body seems to be an old injury, right?"
He touched the scar on his waist and smiled. "Yes, I got it when I was young. It's all because I was naughty."
Jing Rong's expression was solemn, but he hid it well.
