The Fish Took the Bait
Old Madame Ji was a person in charge, so she spoke.
"Both of you, this matter is already in the past. There are laws in this world, and there are also family rules. Yunshu pushed that lass Lingzhi and almost crippled her hand. That was why her father whipped her to teach her a lesson. He didn't want her to marry into the Wei Mansion and cause trouble for you."
'Oh my, what a good grandmother!'
No matter what, Madame Wei still knew how to respect her elders. She glanced at her master and pursed her lips into a faint smile.
"Old Madame Ji, Yunshu is so sensible and well-behaved. Even if she made a mistake, how could I have the heart to teach her a lesson? However … "
He picked a long syllable and sneered again without batting an eyelid.
"However, you just said that Yunshu pushed that girl Lingzhi? I don't believe it. After all, I know a thing or two about that girl's personality. "
Although Lingzhi was young, she had done many bad things with Ji Yuanzhi's third brother.
That was because her precious son was often bullied by those two despicable people.
Ji Shuhan and Old Madame Ji didn't continue to beat around the bush. Both of them fell into an awkward situation.
On the other side, Wei Yi and Ji Yunshu had just left the front hall and were about to return to the West Courtyard.
"Shu 'er, let me carry you. I can walk fast, so I'll bring you back to rest. What do you think?"
Wei Yi was extremely nervous at this moment.
Ji Yunshu looked back and nodded. "Okay."
Wei Yi bent down and put his sturdy back in front of Ji Yunshu. He patted his own shoulder. "Shu 'er, come on."
His voice was loud and clear.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but sneak a smile when she saw this scene. She felt very warm inside.
Ji Yunshu climbed on his back, and he hooked his arm around her legs. Under her guidance, they headed in the direction of the West Courtyard.
"Shu 'er, you are just like big brother. You are very light." Wei Yi said.
"Is that so?"
"Yes."
Ji Yunshu pondered for a moment before asking, "Wei Yi, do you like me?"
He nodded vigorously, "Yes, Wei Yi likes Shu 'er very much. In the future, Shu' er will be my wife and I will give birth to many little Wei Yi's."
'Little Wei Yi again? You've really been brainwashed by your mother!'
"What if … I don't like you?"
Her voice was soft, but it was loud enough for Wei Yi to hear her.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Wei Yi's face. He slowed down and pouted. "Is it because I'm stupid?"
"No." "Wei Yi, you're not stupid at all. Did you know that you're not stupid at all? You're smarter and more meticulous than most people, and you have a simplicity and sincerity that others don't have. You're unique, understand? "
"Then why doesn't big sister like me?"
Yeah, since he's so good, why don't you like him?
"Because …" There's someone in my heart!
Ji Yunshu didn't say this out loud. She only said, "Forget it. You won't understand."
At this moment, they had already gone around a corridor.
Ji Yunshu made sure that there were no 'eyes' following them and patted Wei Yi's shoulder. "Put me down."
"I can't. Shu 'er, you're injured. You can't walk."
"I'm not injured. Put me down first."
Wei Yi was startled. He slowly put Ji Yunshu down and looked at her strangely. He went around to her back and pointed at her. "But Shu 'er, there's blood on the back of your hand."
She smiled and used her fingertip to dip into the 'blood' on her back and quickly wiped it on Wei Yi's lips.
She asked, "Taste it and see if it's blood."
Wei Yi stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. He narrowed his eyes and looked pensive. He whispered, "I can't taste it."
"Idiot, this is paint, not blood."
After explaining, Ji Yunshu turned around and walked away.
Wei Yi followed her and pestered her, asking her what paint was. Ji Yunshu didn't know how to explain, so she just gave him a few perfunctory answers.
The two of them passed by the backyard garden and were suddenly stopped by someone.
"You two, stop."
That voice couldn't be any more familiar.
If it wasn't Ji Muqing, who else could it be?
Ji Yunshu looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ji Muqing sitting in a pavilion not far from them. Her body was tilted to the side with one hand on a pillar and the other holding an exquisite box. She was sprinkling fish bait into the water.
That scene should have been extremely beautiful.
But Ji Yunshu felt disgusted!
In the pavilion, Ji Lingzhi was also there. She was using a brush to draw something on the stone table.
'Wasn't your hand almost crippled? It's only been a few days, but you can already hold a brush. '
At this moment, Ji Lingzhi also looked at Ji Yunshu. Her small face was full of disdain.
Ji Yunshu didn't want to pay attention to her and continued walking with Wei Yi. However, Ji Muqing sneered, "Idiot, are you here to see your future wife today? You mustn't look too clearly. After all, a bastard is a bastard. If you look too much, you'll go blind. "
'Then why are you looking?!'
Wei Yi didn't understand what she meant. He looked at Ji Yunshu and whispered, "Shu 'er, what did that big sister say?"
Unexpectedly, Ji Yunshu looked at him and asked, "Do you know how to swim?"
Wei Yi shook his head.
"Hmm, that's good."
'Huh? What does she mean? ' Wei Yi didn't understand.
A meaningful smile appeared on Ji Yunshu's face in an instant. She walked along a corridor built on the water and entered the pavilion.
She asked, "Big sister, did you call me for something?"
"It's nothing. I just casually called you. I like it."
Ji Muqing didn't forget to sprinkle more fish bait into the water, but she suddenly noticed the blood on Ji Yunshu's back. She wrinkled her nose and asked, "Your back …?"
Ji Yunshu smiled. "It's just some red water. Big sister, you don't need to be surprised."
Ji Muqing's sharp lips curled into a cold snort.
Ji Yunshu continued, "It just so happens that Young Master Wei came to see me. This pavilion is the perfect place to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the garden." Ji Yunshu turned to Wei Yi, who came with her. "Wei Yi, do you like it here?"
He raised his head and turned around to look at it. He nodded. "I like it."
"Who gave you permission to come in? Get out! This place belongs to me and big sister." Ji Lingzhi pouted and shouted. She pointed the brush in her hand at Ji Yunshu and Wei Yi.
"Lingzhi, don't cause trouble. Since your third sister brought this fool to see the beautiful scenery, then let them see it. Otherwise, the people of the Wei mansion will say that we don't understand etiquette." Ji Muqing said.
Ji Lingzhi was obviously unhappy and glared at her.
'Little girl, I'll make you cry later.'
"What's up there?" Ji Yunshu suddenly pointed at the water and cried out in surprise.
Everyone's eyes followed the direction of her finger. There was nothing unusual!
Ji Yunshu probably caught Ji Muqing's curiosity and continued, "Big sister, can't you see it? It's right there. "
"Where?!"
