Just when he was about to leave to stop Miss Mu Jin, he shouted, “Oh no!” He slapped his forehead and immediately told Ji Yunshu, “Teacher Ji, I’m sorry for my poor memory. Before I came over, Young Master Mo ordered me to send a message, saying that Young Master Wei has woken up. He asks you to head over as soon as possible.”
“Wei Yi is awake?” Ji Yunshu’s eyes sparkled.
“Yes. That was what Young Master Mo said.”
The corners of Ji Yunshu’s lips raised and formed a beautiful smile before she ran out of the room and grabbed an umbrella that rested against the pillar. She opened it and ran through the rain straight to Wei Yi’s room. Jing Rong saw this, then took another umbrella and followed right behind her. Lang Po was stunned for a short while before he decided he should follow too.
They took a corner and arrived at the corridor. Ji Yunshu kept her umbrella right before she bumped into another person. “Ouch!” The person lost her balance, fell backwards and landed on the ground. “Bam!” This was accompanied by the shattering of porcelain that fell on the ground and broke into pieces.
Ji Yunshu was in a shock as she dropped umbrella on the ground. A slimy liquid with a faint jasmine scent was stained all over her body. She focused her gaze and saw Miss Mu Jin sitting on the floor among the mess. Beside her was a broken porcelain bottle.
“Miss Mu Jin?” Ji Yunshu said in shock.
Ji Yunshu quickly bent down to help her out as she apologized, “I’m sorry. This one did not do this on purpose.” Mu Jin massaged her aching shoulder as she stood up from the ground with her furrowed but thin and beautiful eyebrows. She panted faintly as she replied, “I’m fine.”
“Did I hurt you?”
“Young Master Ji does not have to feel bad. I was the one who walked without looking.” She smiled. She then noticed the stain on Ji Yunshu’s clothes, hence she reached out with a handkerchief and said, “I’m sorry to have dirtied Young Master Ji’s shirt.”
Ji Yunshu took a step backwards. “It’s fine.” Then, she pointed at the broken bottle on the ground and asked, “What is this? It smells good. It has the scent of jasmine.”
Mu Jin looked at the broken bottle sadly. “That’s the jasmine water I made. I’ve added in some sugar and it’s the perfect remedy for warming the body. I was about to send this to the Prince.”
“Oh.” Ji Yunshu twitched her lips.
At this moment, Jing Rong and Lang Po arrived. As they saw the scene, they were both surprised. What happened?
Mu Jin went forward and bowed the moment she saw Jing Rong. She put on a humble, feminine manner, but there remained a clear hint of the hungry wolf stalking its prey hiding below. “Has Prince’s injury gotten better?” She asked. Jing Rong’s face showed no expression, neither did he answer. He merely stared at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.
Mu Jin was a smart lady. She caught his gaze and immediately explained, “It was my fault. I did not look at my surroundings when I was walking I accidentally bumped into Young Master Ji and even dirtied his clothes.” It was evidently Ji Yunshu’s fault as she was running before crashing into Mu Jin. However, now Mu Jin tried to imply that Ji Yunshu was instead the victim, but this was a label that Ji Yunshu did not dare accept!
Jing Rong had no concern on this topic. He looked at Ji Yunshu and said, “You should go over first.” Ji Yunshu gently patted the part of her clothes that was wet, nodded and left. After she left, Jing Rong ordered Lang Po, who was still beside him. “Please entertain Miss Mu Jin.”
“Yes!” He replied.
When Jing Rong was about to leave, Mu Jin reached out and grabbed his arm. “Your Highness,” she called. There was desperation and desire in her tender and soft eyes. She longed for Jing Rong to stay!
