Ji Wanxin watched Miss Zhang in pain.
"Miss, it's just a piece of cloth. It won't hurt."
Ji Yunshu said, "Miss, it's just a piece of cloth. It won't hurt anyone's life."
Someone had popped out of nowhere and pinched her wrist so hard that it hurt. Naturally, Miss Zhang was furious.
Twisting her wrist, she looked Ji Wanxin up and down, "Who are you?"
"This one saw that Miss was about to hurt someone with a pair of scissors, so I came to meddle."
"Why would you meddle when you know it's not my business?"
"Because this one has nothing better to do."
"…" Miss Zhang choked. She pointed a finger at Ji Wanxin, "She cut the red cloth that I made for my wedding dress. Can't I teach her a lesson?"
Yes!
Of course you can!
It's best to kill her.
Ji Wanxin did not expect Ji Yunshu to appear here. She only knew that Ji Yunshu had come to Jinjiang, but she did not expect Ji Yunshu to help her!
She was confused.
When she thought of what happened in Shanhuai County, a sense of guilt welled up in her heart.
Panic flashed in her eyes, and she did not dare to meet Ji Yunshu's gaze. She could only explain meekly, "This cloth … I didn't cut it."
She had no confidence!
Ji Yunshu stared at her pale face and sneered.
"Second Miss Ji, this cloth was obviously cut by you."
"What did you say?" She raised her head abruptly.
"This one said that this cloth was indeed cut by you."
She was absolutely certain.
"I … No, it wasn't me!"
Her eyes were red, and she shook her head desperately. Her pitiful appearance was heartbreaking!
But in Ji Yunshu's eyes, it was extremely fake.
It was nauseating!
She did not want to talk nonsense, so she pulled the torn piece of cloth over and touched it with her hand, saying, "This piece of cloth is made from the finest mulberry silk that was transported from the Western Region. Its surface is smooth, shiny but not transparent, and when it is rubbed against, it will produce a unique 'sizzle' sound. Moreover, it is very stretchable and heat-resistant. It is one of the best among all kinds of cloth. However, it also has a disadvantage, which is that it cannot withstand the corrosion of salt water. Once it comes into contact with salt, the surface of the silk will turn black, but the edge of this cut has turned black. Does this mean that it was cut by an object with a salty nature?"
Ugh!
When the shopkeeper heard this, he said, "Young Master, you are right. This cloth is indeed made of mulberry silk. It absolutely cannot be touched by salt water. If it does, it will turn black." Puzzled, she said, "But this cut looks like it was made by a knife or something. Moreover, shouldn't the salt-stained area be black in patches? How could there be such a cut with a black edge? "
It was not without reason.
Miss Zhang also hurriedly asked, "Hurry up and tell me, what cut it?"
Ji Yunshu glanced at Ji Wanxin and saw that her eyes were filled with panic. She didn't dare to look at anyone.
She raised the cloth in her hand and said, "Because this cloth was cut by something with a horn."
Finished speaking!
She reached out and pulled out Ji Wanxin's hand from under her clothes.
He raised his head high.
"The culprit is the ring on her finger."
Hua!
Everyone exclaimed.
They all stared at the ring. The ring was shaped like an irregular flower. The tip of the petal was not sharp, but if one were to touch it, they would know how dangerous it was.
Only a vicious person would wear a ring that could hurt others at any time, and could even hurt themselves.
Of course, there were also people who doubted it.
"Is this ring made of salt?"
You're the one with the biggest salt!
Ji Wanxin bit her lip. Her nose was sore. She said while her hand was being held, "Yunshu, how can you accuse me?"
"Other people might not know, but I know. Everyone in the Ji Mansion knows that Miss Ji has a habit of soaking the ring on your finger. Every three days, she would soak the ring in salt water for a few hours. Every other day, she would rub salt on the ring as a way to clean it. Therefore, there must be some salt on the ring, and you used it to cut the cloth. If you still want to quibble, you can ask someone to examine the ring and see if there is salt on it."
Her voice was forceful.
Ji Yunshu flung Zhang Wanxin's hand away.
Her body was weak, and she almost hit the cabinet behind her. Her face was full of fear, and she sobbed softly.
However, the evidence was irrefutable, and she was powerless to refute.
That pair of gentle and watery eyes were tightly filled with tears.
Miss Zhang was furious when she found out the truth.
She stepped forward and grabbed Ji Wanxin's hand. She said angrily, "How can you be so vicious? Everyone says that you, Second Miss Ji, have a kind heart, but you're just a poisonous scorpion. Just because you can't get this cloth, you cut it like this. You're really vicious."
"I … I didn't do it on purpose."
"That means you admit it."
"No, I don't know why it turned out like this. I didn't do it on purpose. It was an accident."
"Disgusting."
Ji Wanxin was ashamed to be scolded like this. The onlookers pointed at her and talked about her.
All the unpleasant words entered her ears.
Miss Zhang was also a straightforward person.
The two quarreled endlessly.
Ji Yunshu saw that more and more onlookers were gathering outside. If they continued to quarrel, they would have to go to court. As the person who interfered, she naturally had to go.
She was too lazy to go.
She said to Miss Zhang, "Miss, in my opinion, Second Miss Ji didn't do it on purpose. You said it just now, since it's a happy occasion, why make such a big fuss? Why don't we let Second Miss Ji pay for the cloth? Miss can choose another cloth in the shop, and Second Miss Ji will pay for it. What do you think? "
"Just let it go?"
She was not convinced!
At the very least, he had to make a cut on her face.
Ji Yunshu leaned over and whispered into her ear, "Miss Zhang, if you continue to make a fuss like this, you'll be the one who suffers. Not only will you lose the money to buy the cloth, you might even end up with a bad reputation. Why bother? Moreover, you're a person who understands the big picture. Let's turn this matter into a small one. "
"…"
Hearing this, Miss Zhang hesitated. In her heart, she knew the stakes.
After pondering for a while, he could only glare at her unwillingly. "Fine, fine. I'll forget about it this time. I'll just take it as my bad luck. However, I'll pick the cloth in this shop."
Ji Wanxin pursed her pale lips and nodded.
The shopkeeper also heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately ordered people to bring out all the best cloth in the shop.
He thought that he would definitely make a profit this time.
Hence, Miss Zhang began to pick the cloth in a very extravagant manner. In one breath, she took all the most expensive bolts in the shop. She almost bought the shop.
Presumably, she had spent a lot of money.
After this matter was settled, Ji Yunshu quietly left the shop.
Outside, Jing Rong was waiting for her.
Of course, he had already investigated the situation inside.
Ji Yunshu said, "Let's go."
She quickened her pace and walked forward.
However, Ji Wanxin still chased after her and blocked her way. She softly called out, "Yunshu."
The maidservant supported her.
When she saw Jing Rong, her eyes narrowed and she was about to bow.
"Outside, there's no need!"
Jing Rong's tone was very cold.
