Ji Yunxi neither avoided nor gave way.
She stood upright, not even reaching out to wipe the egg white off her face.
Oh, she couldn't remember how many times she had been hit by eggs.
Wu Weian reacted quickly. He grabbed her sleeve and tried to pull her into his arms.
But it was of no avail. The mother and son called a group of relatives, who surrounded Ji Yunxi and Wu Weian from all directions and threw eggs at them.
They smashed the clothes more and more frantically, shouting and screaming, "Smash you profiteers to death! Smash you to death! You sell clothes at such high prices and cheat people out of their money! Do you have any conscience?! You are all black-hearted! Don't buy clothes from Dongyun Cloth Shop anymore! They are cheating people out of their money! Cheating people out of their money! Cheating people out of their money!"
Wu Weian blinked slowly.
The egg liquid slid down his eyelashes, and everything around him was a little blurry.
He lowered his head, and only Ji Yunxi's face was left in front of him.
She always dressed up carefully when she went out, and her face was always delicate and beautiful. But now, she looked extremely embarrassed.
But her expression seemed very calm, even as if she was used to it.
Get used to it.
Wu Weian thought indifferently.
Ji Yunxi was indeed used to it.
Based on past experience, she closed her eyes and waited quietly for her men to deal with the group of people who had gathered around her.
Ji Yunxi even began to think that this group of people must be the work of Xing Shuyue.
The heroine in the book loves to do this kind of thing the most.
Next, this family's lives are in danger, and Xing Shuyue will kill them. This will set off a huge wave.
Then she should...
Ji Yunxi suddenly opened her eyes.
She felt that the aura of the person in front of her was not right, and there was a hint of murderous intent.
He even raised his right hand slightly.
There are a lot of his people around, this gesture might be...
Ji Yunxi didn't even think twice and pushed his raised right hand back without saying a word.
Her five fingers held four fingers of his right hand, and there was egg liquid between their fingers, which was very slippery.
But Ji Yunxi still held it tightly.
She took a step closer, tilted her head slightly and reminded him in his ear: "Don't be impulsive."
Wu Weian paused, then suddenly laughed.
He moved his right hand slightly and held her hand.
Then he stretched out his left hand and placed it on her cheek, wiping it carefully and meticulously despite trying in vain. His voice was so soft that it seemed inaudible: "What do you think I'm going to do?"
Ji Yunxi was slightly stunned.
Chapter 58 Give Me
There is a teahouse on the corner of Kaitaizhuang Street.
In the private room on the third floor of the teahouse facing the street, a screen painted with Jiangnan landscapes covers half of the windowsill.
In the vague gap between the screen and the windowsill, a man withdrew his gaze.
Sitting next to her was the beautiful Xing Shuyue, who was making tea.
There was a lot of noise below, and many passers-by pointed at Kaitai Village and gathered there with the crowd to watch the fun.
The noodle shop family was still cursing Ji Yunxi's Dongyun Cloth Shop for cheating people out of their money and instigating their daughter-in-law to steal money to buy clothes.
It was quiet on Ji Yunxi's side, and not much movement could be heard.
But from the noodle shop grandma's screams of "Beat people! Beat people! Kill people!", it can be heard that Ji Yunxi's guards should have started to disperse the crowd.
Baofu, Ji Yunxi's personal maid, also started cursing, and her voice actually drowned out the screams of the noodle shop's old lady, so much so that Xing Shuyue could hear it clearly.
"You old woman are always telling lies with your eyes open! You even use something like eggs to hit my young lady! You really can't bear to do that! If someone doesn't know, they would think we dug up your ancestral graves and your ancestors visited you in broad daylight in your dreams! It turns out that your daughter-in-law stole money to buy clothes! Bah! I'm not saying anything bad about you, old woman, but your son looks very old, and your daughter-in-law is not young either this year, right? She actually stole money to buy clothes. For such a thing, you should go to the government and have your daughter-in-law thrown in jail! But you didn't go to the government, and instead used eggs to hit my young lady. No wonder your daughter-in-law stole money! Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice's sons dig holes!"
“You you you you you…”
"What are you talking about! If you don't know how to speak, just shut up! Why are you staring so wide-eyed? Be careful not to fall out, old woman! Wanxiang! Wanxiang, why are you holding me? Let me go and I'll curse them to death! I'm so mad, I'm so mad..."
Baofu's voice gradually faded away, and it seemed that Ji Yunxi and his group had left.
The noodle shop grandma was stunned by the scolding and cried in front of everyone below.
Some people offered some words of comfort, but most of them remained calm.
Many people knew that the third daughter of the Ji family had a maid who relied on her superiors for power and had a particularly sharp tongue. They had seen this happen many times in the early years.
But the third girl never cared about a good reputation. She remained indifferent even when the maids and shrews cursed at her and everyone mocked her for not being able to manage her subordinates.
Everyone got used to it, and after a long time, they were too lazy to even make fun of it.
What can I do?
If you can't scold me, just hide away.
After all, as long as you don't go up to someone to get scolded, no one will go out of their way to scold you.
It was still noisy below, but the private room was always quiet and peaceful.
The tea was ready. Xing Shuyue poured a cup and handed it to the Fifth Prince, saying softly, "What a pity that we couldn't force Wu Weian to take action."
The fifth prince took the tea and snorted coldly: "A beauty is in danger, but he can still keep calm. This man is indeed not a simple person. I underestimated him after all. I fell into his trap after the incident at Heichun Mountain!" He clenched the teacup, and the water in the cup kept jumping.
Xing Shuyue comforted him, "Your Highness, victory and defeat are common in the military."
"I know." The Fifth Prince put down the teacup, and the water inside splashed out. His eyes gleamed, "But my trip today wasn't in vain. I discovered something interesting."
Xing Shuyue smiled gently, her eyes full of affection: "Your Highness, what is it?"
The Fifth Prince looked at her, raised his hand and touched her head, explaining to her: "Before the egg was thrown, Wu Wei'an realized it. His shoulders were originally relaxed, but at that moment they suddenly tensed. Next time, Shu Yue, you can observe carefully."
