Chapter 517: The Demon Concubine Who Brings Trouble to the Nation vs. the Bandit Emperor 128
After talking freely for a while, Tu Jinglun thought that he had become closer to Miss Ji. He didn't realize at all that he was the one talking the whole time. Whenever Ji Yunhuan started a conversation, he would unknowingly let out more information.
After breakfast, Ji Yunhuan clamored to go shopping.
Tu Jinglun plucked up his courage and reached out to Ji Yunhuan when she stood up, wanting to pull her along.
Ji Yunhuan rudely slapped Tu Jinglun's hand away and pretended to be angry, "What are you doing? It's so shameless to touch me! Do you think you are visiting a brothel and you are having a good chat and you start to touch me?"
"I thought you were a decent person, and I told you so much from my heart because I treated you as a friend. But it turns out you have bad intentions. I was wrong about you! You have read so much that you have become a fool. I don't think you can become the top scholar!"
Tu Jinglun was scolded so much that he couldn't even raise his head. He really had something to hide. He only wanted Ji Yunhuan to be his concubine, so he was naturally frivolous.
Ji Yunhuan ignored the maids' support and ran out angrily. The maids immediately chased after him, but Ji Yunhuan ran so fast that they could not catch up at all.
She slipped out of the side door of the restaurant, wanting to act like she was "extremely angry and at a loss for what to do", so that she could disappear for a while.
But there were guards from the Tu family guarding the side door. When they saw Ji Yunhuan running out, they immediately blocked the side door and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Ji Yunhuan clamored to go out, but these people pretended not to hear him and ignored him.
They didn't make way until the Tu family's carriage arrived.
Fang Huijia sighed. It seemed that it would not be easy to escape the surveillance of these people.
She lifted the curtain of the carriage, her face showing annoyance, and shouted at Ji Yunhuan: "You are so old, but you are still like a child, running around when you are angry. Fortunately, the restaurant is full of Tu family guards, otherwise if you run out rashly and encounter bad guys, I wonder what you will do?"
"What are you standing there for? Are you waiting for me to treat you? Come up here!"
Ji Yunhuan moved over reluctantly. The maids knew that Miss Ji didn't like anyone serving her closely, so they just put a footstool in place and waited by the side.
Ji Yunhuan ignored Tu Jinglun beside the carriage, and did not heed Tu Jinglun's apology, and got on the carriage angrily.
Fang Huijia could only act as a peacemaker and said to Tu Jinglun outside: "Huan'er has been spoiled by me and his father since he was a child. He has a bad temper. I hope Mr. Tu will not be offended."
"Huan'er's temper comes and goes quickly. I will try to persuade him, but Master Tu is wronged. Please ride your horse for now. If you sit in the front, Huan'er will make a scene again."
Tu Jinglun was very upset. They had just met today and he was so reckless. No wonder Miss Ji was angry.
But Miss Ji looked so beautiful when she was angry, with her eyes moving and her cheeks slightly red, which made her look more lively. Tu Jinglun thought about this and his heart beat faster and faster. He had never felt this way before.
"Thank you, auntie. Please tell Miss Ji that I have never been to the brothel. I just... I just couldn't help myself."
Tu Jinglun went riding, and without Tu Jinglun in front who often lifted the door curtain to talk, the mother and daughter were finally able to exchange some private words.
The most urgent task is to find a way to get Ji Yunhuan to leave.
When the carriage reached the downtown area, Ji Yunhuan stopped the carriage and pointed at the sugar paintings on the roadside and said, "Get out of the way, I want to eat that!"
The guards surrounded the carriage so tightly that no one could get in or out. When the people around saw the Tu family's carriage, they all stayed far away from it for fear of bumping into an important person.
Even a dog from the Tu family is more valuable than an ordinary citizen, and they cannot afford to offend them.
The guard pointed at the old man making sugar paintings and said in a gruff voice, "You, come here!"
The sugar painting grandfather was so scared that he trembled and knelt down with a plop. "Sir, please spare my life. I am just a small business and I really don't have any extra money. I beg you to be merciful. I will give all these sugar paintings to you."
Ji Yunhuan frowned as she watched, she just wanted to go over and buy a sugar painting, and maybe she would have a chance to "get lost" while there were so many people in the downtown area.
But the guards didn't give her the chance to leave at all. All the sugar paintings were brought in front of her for her to choose from.
The sugar painting grandfather watched his sugar paintings being taken away and did not dare to mention charging any money. He just hoped that these people would leave quickly after taking the sugar paintings and not destroy his sugar painting stall.
Ji Yunhuan said dissatisfiedly: "I don't want these sugar paintings, they are all leftovers from others! I want fresh paintings, painted according to my appearance, that's more fun. You guys get out of the way! Let me go over and take a look, I want to see the old man paint with my own eyes."
Tu Jinglun finally found an opportunity to show his courtesy, "Miss Ji, it's not safe here with so many people. I'll accompany you."
After Master Tu spoke, the guards made way for Ji Yunhuan, who was finally able to leave the carriage and reach the sugar painting stall on the roadside.
"What are you standing there for? Give me money! My sugar portrait must be worth at least ten taels of silver!"
"When you go out to play, it's more fun to shop and buy right away. It's boring to have it delivered right in front of you. I'm going to buy another one when I go back later!"
Tu Jinglun never brought any money with him when he went out. As the second son of the Tu family, everything was arranged for him wherever he went, so he didn't have to spend any money.
He asked his servant for a purse. He didn't know how much ten taels of silver was, so he picked out the largest silver coin and threw it into the hands of the sugar painting grandfather.
"Since Miss Ji likes it, you can set up your stall here in the future and you are not allowed to move to another place! If you draw well and can make Miss Ji happy, I will reward you handsomely!"
Grandpa Sugar Painting was stunned holding the silver. He had never seen so much silver before. It was enough for the family's expenses for a year.
"Thank you, young master! Thank you, young lady! Don't worry, I have been painting sugar paintings all my life, and I can paint anything like it."
Soon, a lifelike little portrait appeared on the stone slab. The sugar painting grandfather scooped up the sugar painting with a small spatula, dipped it on a bamboo stick, and handed it over respectfully.
Ji Yunhuan took it first, took a bite, and said with a smile, "It's so sweet!"
Tu Jinglun felt a little regretful. This little portrait was exactly the same as Ji Yunhuan's. He had originally wanted to keep the first one for himself.
He threw the purse in his hand over, not caring how much silver was in it, and said, "Draw another one, with your current smiling face."
Ji Yunhuan didn't want her portrait to fall into Tu Jinglun's hands. She walked forward without looking back and said impatiently, "No more painting! I want to eat candied haws!"
Tu Jinglun could only catch up with her. That was all. There was still a lot of time to come, and he would definitely be able to own all kinds of portraits of Miss Ji, smiling, angry, cute, lively... They would all be his in the future!
"Miss Ji, wait for me! Stop the candied haws seller and bring him here. Don't let Miss Ji get tired."
