Chapter 928 Extra Chapter: Xuan Yun 10
"I'm sorry, young master, this old woman has lost her composure."
In all these years, when has she ever seen someone so good-looking?
Her eyebrows and eyes are so beautiful, it's breathtaking, as if she stepped out of a painting.
Xu Yunzhi had come to see Ji Wenxuan, and was too exhausted to argue with her, so she asked directly, "Did a handsome young man come by?"
Xu Yunzhi spoke, and upon seeing his attire, immediately realized that he was with Ji Wenxuan.
"Yes, but I wonder what your relationship is to that other young master?"
Although the madam had a hunch, she still wanted to find out the truth, since it wouldn't be good if the two had a feud and a fight broke out in her courtyard.
Xu Yunzhi didn't look at the madam, but simply replied, "He's the head of the household."
As soon as Xu Yunzhi said this, the madam assumed that this was the older brother of the man in question, since he was probably a year older and both of them were obviously good-looking.
"That young master is in the third room on the second floor."
The madam sensed an unfriendly aura emanating from the young man and, to avoid being caught in the crossfire, wisely decided not to bring anyone up.
Having obtained the specific location, Xu Yunzhi naturally didn't need her to guide him and strode up there.
At this moment, Xu Yunzhi looked exactly like a wife catching her husband cheating; the undisguised anger in his eyes was enough to deter everyone around him.
But as soon as they reached the door, they heard a cacophony of clattering and clanging from inside, followed by Ji Wenxuan's furious roar: "What the hell are you doing?!"
Xu Yunzhi could tell that Ji Wenxuan was really angry. Hearing this, he felt a little strange, and his anger dissipated by the roar.
For a moment, he was stunned, then another sound came from inside. Xu Yunzhi dared not delay any longer and pushed the door open.
The first thing you see is a mess, followed by the sight of Ji Wenxuan fighting with a woman.
The woman, holding a dagger, approached Ji Wenxuan, who adopted a defensive stance and grabbed her hand.
Before the two could react, Xu Yunzhi kicked the dagger out of the woman's hand, pinned her down, and then looked at Ji Wenxuan: "What's going on?"
Ji Wenxuan was also confused. He touched his slightly cut neck and looked at the woman: "I have no grudge against you, why do you want to kill me?"
Ji Wenxuan and Youlan were getting along very well. They ate, drank, and chatted together, and Youlan always maintained the proper distance and etiquette.
Suddenly, she rubbed her head and slumped onto the table. Ji Wenxuan didn't know what had happened and was about to check on her when a sharp dagger slashed at him.
If it weren't for his excellent martial arts skills and quick reflexes, it probably wouldn't have been just a minor scratch.
Youlan, held down by Xu Yunzhi, glanced at Ji Wenxuan upon hearing this and then said, "No grudges? You Ji family members killed my mother and forced me to make a living in this brothel, and you still say there are no grudges!"
Youlan's beautiful face became ferocious with anger and resentment, making her look not like a beautiful woman, but like an ugly witch.
"What do you mean by killing your mother? Don't make things up, young lady. My Ji family has never done anything like that. Don't try to frame me."
Ji Wenxuan's tone was also unpleasant. He had thought she was quite polite to him, but he never expected that she was someone who hated the Ji family.
After hearing Ji Wenxuan's words, the woman suddenly sneered.
"As expected, all of you members of the Ji family are the same. You never admit what you've done. That Vice General Ji is like that, and so are you."
From the moment Ji Wenxuan appeared here, the woman was convinced that he was not a good person. Now that General Ji has returned, only the son of the eldest branch of the Ji family remains here as the general.
Although Ji Wenxuan did not say his name, his appearance alone was enough for Youlan to recognize him.
Youlan's hostility towards the Ji family was even stranger to Ji Wenxuan.
"You...you have a grudge against the Ji family?"
Ji Wenxuan looked at Youlan, who was being held down tightly by Xu Yunzhi, and gestured for him to let go before asking Youlan a question.
Youlan was released and loosened her shoulders, which had been pressed sorely. Her eyes darted around, and just as she was about to make a move, Xu Yunzhi said, "You know you can't beat the two of us."
Youlan's body stiffened, and the hairpin she was holding finally loosened.
The hatred and determination in her eyes were gone; she slumped back onto the stool, looking rather listless.
"I failed!"
She uttered a few words, as if all her strength had been drained away.
After a long while, she looked up at Ji Wenxuan and said, "Do as you please, whether you want to kill me or torture me."
Youlan really does start with fighting and killing as soon as she opens her mouth. When Ji Wenxuan saw that she had a death wish on her face, he couldn't help but rub his forehead.
He's not some kind of bully who preys on young girls. What makes this woman think he'd take her life?
Because she almost stabbed him?
"I'm not a murderous monster, why would I kill you? It's you who came up here wanting to kill me. What grudge do you have against the Ji family?"
After Ji Wenxuan finished speaking, the woman showed no further expression, only looking at the ground with despair.
Upon seeing this, Xu Yunzhi couldn't help but chime in, "Miss, if someone from the Ji family has really bullied you, just tell us, and we will definitely get justice for you."
Xu Yunzhi was clearly trying to help Youlan, and Youlan looked up at him upon hearing this.
"Really? You can help me? Aren't you in cahoots?"
Youlan was truly at her wit's end, which is why she placed her hopes on Xu Yunzhi.
Of course, this is also because Xu Yunzhi's face looks too harmless, and Xu feels unable to refuse him when he speaks casually.
So, in front of the two of them, Youlan finally told them about her grievances with the Ji family.
It turns out that the woman's mother used to be from this town, and the elders in her family made a living by selling tofu. The family lived a happy and fulfilling life.
She thought this kind of life would accompany her mother for the rest of her life, but as she grew older, the daughter of a small tofu stall owner became more and more beautiful, which naturally brought a lot of trouble to the tofu stall.
Among them were men who admired her mother and came to support her business, and men who came to propose marriage to her family. In short, everyone had their eyes on their daughter.
Just as the tofu stall owner was undecided about who to marry his daughter to, a few local thugs from the border town came knocking on his door.
This thug was a local bully. He took a fancy to someone's daughter and immediately tried to force Youlan's mother to go with him.
Youlan's mother refused and immediately burst into tears, but those people didn't care about her feelings and forcibly dragged her away.
Seeing his daughter in danger, the tofu shop owner grabbed a knife to rescue her, but just when he was forced into a corner and prepared to exchange his life for hers, a man stepped forward.
"Let go of that girl!"
