Jing Xuan’s anger flared up even further as she immediately followed with another shout. “Hey, idiot! I’m calling you.”
Wei Yi continued to ignore her as he turned to admire the plum blossoms on the tree and, from time to time, he would look at the plum blossoms in his hand getting scattered by the wind.
Jing Xuan’s expression turned dark from displeasure. Stirred by her anger, she reached for Wei Yi’s sleeve and pulled at him with the intent to interrogate, “We need to talk. Why are you ignoring me?”
Wei Yi was forcefully pulled to the side by Jing Xuan. He groaned. “I don’t want to talk with you.”
“Why?”
“Because I don’t like you.”
“I also don’t like you as well.” Jing Xuan glared at him while replying tit for tat.
Wei Yi lifted his hand and cautiously freed himself from Jing Xuan. He had all the intent to avoid her, but he didn’t forget to say it. “Shu’er told me that a real man doesn’t argue with a woman. I didn’t get angry with you when you destroyed the flowers in the courtyard last time. I won’t argue with you, so don’t talk to me.”
“You-” Jing Xuan stomped her feet. She then waved her hands, before clenching them into fists to punch at Wei Yi’s arm. She loudly bellowed, “Do you know who I am? I am a princess!”
“Is a princess so amazing? Mother said that everyone is equal.” He refuted. Then, he scratched his head while frowning before asking, “Actually, what is a princess?”
Pfft!
Jing Xuan was so angry that she spat out blood.
During this time, Ji Yunshu returned. As if she had wind on her feet, she hurriedly went into the house without sparing a glance at Jing Xuan and Wei Yi.
When Jing Xuan saw Ji Yunshu, her anger was immediately doused while her face blushed and her mouth curled up. It didn’t take her much time to run into the courtyard after Ji Yunshu.
Once Ji Yunshu entered the house, she went to find the documents about the missing girls case that the capital governor sent her before. Previously, when she received it, she only gave it a few glances before throwing the stack aside on the table and hadn’t touched it ever since. But right now, she needed to go through each file. Therefore, she spread everything on the table and browsed through everything in detail.
Jing Xuan stood behind her and watched Ji Yunshu busy herself for half a day before asking. “What are you doing?”
Ji Yunshu didn’t reply to her.
“I can help you!” Jing Xuan stepped forward with the intention of helping her.
Ji Yunshu hurriedly stopped her. “No need.”
“I just want…” Jing Xuan’s sentence stopped mid-sentence as Ji Yunshu has buried herself in that stack of documents and was completely ignoring her.
‘Are Ji Yunshu and Wei Yi possessed? Why are they ignoring me today?’ Jing Xuan’s mood turned bad. Her temper didn’t lose to Jing Rong in term of stubbornness. Therefore, she sat down in the room on the side while Ji Yunshu was deeply engrossed in her work. As she observed Ji Yunshu, she felt extremely satisfied.
In the meantime, Ji Yunshu was combing each file very carefully, earnestly paying attention to the punctuation of each sentence as she feared to overlook an important clue.
After an hour, her eyes finally parted from the rows of words. Astonishment could be read on her face. To be precise, apart from shock, there was both worry and panic.
“What did you find?” Jing Xuan asked her while propping her chin.
Ji Yunshu abruptly stood up and spoke in a trembling voice, “If… this is the truth, then…” ‘What an eye-opener!’
