Chapter 13: Being Caught
Pei Yuxuan and the others looked even more shocked and frightened, fearing that the woman would continue to beat them. They could only grit their teeth and apologize to Pei Xinghai insincerely.
Pei Xinghai was completely stunned. The direction of events was beyond his imagination.
He originally thought that his aunt didn't want him anymore, just like his parents, but his aunt not only taught those who bullied him a lesson, but also made those people apologize to her.
Pei Xinghai had been trying his best not to let his tears fall, but now he couldn't hold it back any longer, and big tears rolled down his eyes.
Ji Zhisui hated to see children crying, except for naughty ones, of course. She walked up to them, held them in her arms, and comforted them with a gentle voice.
When he looked up, his eyes were dangerous as he looked at the people who were trying to escape, "Let you go?"
Pei Yuxuan and the others originally thought that everything would be fine after admitting their mistakes and apologizing, but who knew they would hear the voice of the female devil again.
They stopped in their tracks as they were about to run away, for they were so afraid of being spanked.
"Let me guess, you can't wait to go back now because you want to complain to the adults?" Ji Zhisui locked his eyes on them and spoke lightly.
Their plans were exposed, and they were filled with fear and trembling.
"It's not impossible to go back and complain, but they should also know that I cook for those yamen runners now and have a good relationship with them. If I were bullied, do you think they would punish you?"
"I...we didn't bully you." Pei Yuxuan was so angry that he almost died. Not only was he humiliated by this female devil, but now she wanted to slander them. It was obviously this female devil who bullied them!
"If you bully my Xingxing, you are bullying me." Ji Zhisui said righteously.
"What do you want?"
"If what happened today is not discovered by other people, you can just wait to be whipped by the yamen runners!" Ji Zhisui said this harshly, using the power of others to bully others.
Several people looked at each other, obviously skeptical about what Ji Zhisui said.
Finally, someone compromised and asked, "Will those yamen runners really listen to you?"
He had been lazy and didn't walk properly before, so he was whipped by the yamen runners. It was so painful that he still remembers the feeling.
"Of course, they like the food I cook." Ji Zhisui said this with absolute determination, without any lie.
Seeing this, the group of children were nervous and their doubts were not completely eliminated.
"If you don't believe me, you can go back and complain. Let's see whether I get taught a lesson or you get whipped." After threatening people, Ji Zhisui took Pei Xinghai back to the dilapidated temple.
These harsh words may not be enough to control these naughty children, she has to take some action.
Pei Xinghai held Ji Zhisui's hand tightly all the way, looking at people with shining eyes, and his eyes were filled with unconcealable joy.
Ji Zhisui couldn't help herself and rubbed his face with her hands. The child was very well behaved and didn't resist at all, just letting her do what she did.
Soon she returned to the dilapidated temple and sent Pei Xinghai to Old Madam Pei. She did not mention what had happened before, as this would only make the Pei family feel guilty and blame themselves, and the yamen runners would not allow the exiles to have a conflict.
Pei Xinghai reluctantly let go of his aunt's hand, his eyes full of nostalgia.
Mrs. Pei was a little surprised, and her tone was joking: "Xingxing likes Auntie so much?"
Pei Xinghai nodded vigorously in response.
This action made Old Madam Pei very happy. She asked Mrs. Pei who was sitting beside her, "Did the stars in front react?"
"Yes, mother, Xingxing nodded." Pei stroked the corners of her moist eyes. Xingxing has always been insensitive to the outside world, and it has become even worse since the death of her eldest daughter-in-law. Apart from eating, sleeping and walking all day, she has no other reaction when others ask her questions.
Even though the Pei family was worried, they had no other choice. They had taken him to see a doctor before, but the doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong. He just said it was a heart disease and asked them to take good care of him.
Right in front of us, the stars are finally responding to the outside world. How can we not be happy?
Ji Zhisui found Lao Wutou and said he wanted to borrow his whip, saying that he wanted to go out and collect some food.
When Old Five heard that it was related to food, he happily handed the whip to her and even stepped forward to help, but was rejected by Ji Zhisui. She took the whip and left the dilapidated temple.
He happened to run into Pei Yuxuan and others who were returning from not far away.
Ji Zhisui swung the whip in front of Pei Yuxuan and almost hit him. Everyone dodged frantically for fear of being hit and were extremely scared.
The hope that I had originally held on to file a complaint has now disappeared without a trace.
This female devil actually did not lie. The yamen runners had a good relationship with her and even gave her the whip to teach people a lesson.
Pei Yuxuan and others ran around with one hand holding their heads and the other covering their buttocks, quickly heading into the ruined temple, fearing that they would be spanked by the female devil again.
This scene was extremely funny. She thought that these people would no longer dare to complain or bully Pei Xinghai. She felt so happy that she couldn't help laughing out loud.
Ji Zhisui was in a good mood and humming a song. When he turned around to look for food, he found a person standing in a corner not far away.
The two people's eyes met.
The smile on Ji Zhisui's face froze on his face, and the whip in his hand seemed to have become a hot potato. His mind went blank for a while, and he stood there in a daze with a dull expression.
Pei Yian noticed the changes in Ji Zhisui, especially her somewhat dull expression, and the low pressure lingering around him dissipated a lot.
He walked straight to Ji Zhisui and asked, "Madam, it's so late, where are you going with the whip?"
When Ji Zhisui heard this voice, especially the word "madam", which sounded teasing, she felt like the hair on her body was about to stand on end.
So, when did this guy show up? And how long has he been there? Could he have heard and seen the whole thing?
"I'm just taking a walk." Ji Zhisui's voice sounded a little guilty.
"Can you take me with you, ma'am?"
Pei Yian only discovered today that his wife was not a delicate kitten, but a tiger with sharp fangs.
What could Ji Zhisui do when faced with the male protagonist's invitation? She could only agree.
So, a man and a woman walked side by side in the sunset. This should have been a warm and gentle picture, but the whip in Ji Zhisui's hand that shook from time to time broke the beautiful atmosphere.
The two of them tacitly didn't speak, they just walked quietly.
Ji Zhisui also realized it later. After dinner, the two of them took a stroll in the deep forest, which felt a bit like a date.
She quickly shook off her messy thoughts. She was just a cannon fodder who appeared in less than a few hundred words in the book, so she should not try to make her presence felt in front of the male protagonist.
