The prefect, no longer wanting to beat around the bush, went straight to the point: "Miss Yun, there's something I'd like to discuss with you. Could you please inform the people in advance of the specific time, location, and items to be sold for the next market session before each session ends?"
He then recounted in detail the cause and effect of Sun Kun being beaten.
"Although you are not directly involved in this fight, you are indirectly involved. In order to prevent a similar situation from happening again, I have to trouble you to do one more step."
Yun Zhizhi was utterly speechless.
These three fools, one willing to hit and the other willing to be hit, what business is it of hers?
Let them fight if they want to.
It's not like I hit her.
Do I have to announce it to the whole world every time I go out to set up a stall?
Moreover, even she herself doesn't know where to set up a stall next time or what to sell.
Yun Zhizhi refused outright: "Your Excellency, I cannot do this."
"I'm rather casual about what I do. I don't even know where I'll set up my stall next time, what I'll sell, or how many days it will last."
In short: set up stalls randomly, and let everything take its course.
Watching Yun Zhizhi's departing figure.
The prefect was completely bewildered.
It seems the rumors were true; Yun Zhizhi really is an oddball.
And he also has mental problems.
No normal person sets up a stall randomly like her; it's too casual!
Why not just choose a lively and bustling place to set up your stall?
The Sixth Prince's Residence.
As Yun Zhizhi stepped into the back garden of the villa, she saw the elegant figure in the pavilion.
At this moment, Zhao Yunjin was sitting alone, quietly playing chess.
The black and white pieces on the chessboard are intertwined, like two armies clashing, creating a magnificent scene.
Zhao Yunjin, dressed in a long black robe with her black hair flowing, stared intently at the chessboard.
This was the first time Yun Zhizhi had ever seen someone play chess against themselves, and judging from his leisurely demeanor, he was clearly enjoying this moment of tranquility.
Zhao Yunjin placed a black piece, then looked up at her, his eyes deep and his voice rich and pleasant: "Next game?"
Yun Zhizhi shook her head and smiled slightly: "I don't know how to play chess."
Her voice was clear and pleasant.
Zhao Yunjin raised an eyebrow slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips as she looked at her. "Want to learn?"
Yun Zhizhi responded quickly, "I don't want to."
Her gaze was firm, without the slightest hesitation.
Not only was Zhao Yunjin stunned, but Zhao Yi and Zhao San, who were standing not far away, were also dumbfounded.
Especially Zhao Yi.
He never expected Yun Zhizhi to be so ungrateful.
The master clearly wanted to teach her. If any other woman heard this, she would definitely respond: I want to learn.
After all, the master's chess skills are unparalleled in the capital, and to receive his guidance is something one could only dream of.
She simply refused.
Yun Zhizhi really wasn't interested in playing chess, and to avoid suffering, she had no choice but to tell the truth.
Seeing her so frank and without any affectation, Zhao Yunjin's lips curled up slightly, and she said softly, "If you don't want to learn, then don't learn."
Then he added, "My master caused you trouble in Yizhou Prefecture."
After Yun Zhizhi sat down, she replied, "It's no trouble at all. Master Xuanzhen also helped me during the days I was setting up my stall."
Although I ate a bit too much and was a bit too noisy.
Zhao Yunjin continued, "Yesterday, the chefs in the manor made several dishes with lotus root according to the recipes, and they tasted quite good."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhizhi turned around and instructed Xiao Tao behind her, "Xiao Tao, quickly open the food box."
Then, she turned to Zhao Yunjin with anticipation and said, "I brought some osmanthus-flavored glutinous rice lotus root and braised lotus root that I made myself. Would you like to try some?"
"OK!"
The moment the food box was opened, a rich aroma wafted out, and Zhao Yunjin couldn't help but swallow.
After a while, seeing that Zhao Yunjin had finished tasting both dishes, Yun Zhizhi couldn't wait to ask, "How did it taste?"
Zhao Yunjin picked up the teacup, gently blew away the floating tea leaves, took a small sip, then put down the teacup and responded softly:
"Braised lotus root has a rich flavor and a slightly spicy taste, yet it is also quite fragrant. When you bite into it, you can feel its crispness and refreshing taste, as well as a hint of sweetness that is not easily detected. Osmanthus sticky rice lotus root has a fragrant osmanthus aroma as soon as you put it in your mouth. It is soft and sticky, and sweet but not greasy."
"It tastes even better than what the head chef in the manor makes."
Although the cooks in the manor did not prepare these two lotus root dishes, which involved rather complicated procedures, he still thought that the dishes she made were extremely to his liking, thanks to his discerning palate.
Hearing the praise, Yun Zhizhi smiled brightly and said happily, "I'm glad you like it! But don't you want to ask why I came to see you?"
Zhao Yunjin's expression softened as he took another bite of the osmanthus-scented glutinous rice lotus root. "You've come to deliver medicine to me to remove scars?"
Yun Zhizhi's big, dark, bright eyes widened instantly, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, you're amazing! How did you guess that?"
Zhao Yunjin patiently explained, "If you just wanted to send me some food, you could have simply sent a servant. But since you came to see me in person, it must be something important. Considering what you promised before, I can naturally guess what it is."
"Oh, I see." Yun Zhizhi suddenly realized.
So she quickly took out a small bottle from her sleeve and handed it to him, "Apply this ointment once every morning, noon and night, for ten consecutive days, and the scar on your face will be completely removed."
