As soon as Shishi appeared, the people at the bookstore all surrounded her.
Xu Yi wanted to protect her, worried that Shi Shi might be bumped into, but Shi Shi stopped him, saying, "Young Master Xu, they are all people who observe proper etiquette."
Upon hearing this, the previously enthusiastic scholars all stopped and politely stepped aside, saying, "Miss Shishi."
Ah Li and Liu Xiu had already stepped back, and Liu Xiu even told Ah Li to be careful.
At this moment, Ah Li looked at Xu Yi, and Xu Yi looked over as well. His expression changed, and he walked towards Ah Li.
Xu Yi had seen the original owner of the body disguised as a man before, so he recognized Ah Li at a glance.
"What kind of behavior is this! Who let you come out looking like this? And who gave you permission to come out?"
After Xu Yi finished speaking angrily, he ordered someone to take Ah Li back.
Liu Xiu stood in front of Ah Li, blocking her and Xu Yi, saying, "It's been a long time. Your Highness has quite the airs."
Xu Yi then looked at Liu Xiu, who was the fourth prince, Liu Xiu.
"Four……"
"Young Master Xu, be careful with your words."
When Xu Yi was about to reveal Liu Xiu's identity, Liu Xiu called out "Xu Yi".
Xu Yi was startled to find that Shi Shi was still there, and there were many scholars around. It seemed that the Fourth Prince had left the palace to conceal his identity.
Shishi looked in Ah Li's direction, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Ah Li had no intention of staying any longer, so she said to Liu Xiu, "Young Master Liu, it seems we can't continue sightseeing today. I'll be leaving now."
Liu Xiu replied, "It's alright, I'll escort you back, young master."
Ah Li looked at Xu Yi and said, "No need, I have something to say to this person."
Xu Yi saw that Ah Li was relatively obedient, but her expression was still not good.
Seeing that Xu Yi's mind was on Ali, Shi Shi snorted and turned to continue discussing poetry with the others.
Xu Yi turned around and saw that Shi Shi was busy, so he asked Xu Cheng to stay and see if Shi Shi needed any help later. He waited for Ah Li to leave together.
Xu Cheng also recognized Ah Li. He was puzzled, since no one brought this person food, yet this person could still appear alive and kicking in front of the prince. It was truly strange.
Ali left the bookstore first, and Liu Xiu did not follow. Instead, he looked towards the second floor of the bookstore.
Shadow One, who was guarding the second floor, said to Shadow Two, who was eating sunflower seeds, "Go, follow me."
"Fourth Master didn't even let me go."
Shadow Two looked at Liu Xiu, and seeing that Liu Xiu was looking at them, he instantly disappeared.
Shadow One snorted coldly and continued to hide.
Ah Li walked at a moderate pace, while Xu Yi, standing behind her, asked in a displeased tone, "Who in this manor is your person?"
Ah Li looked at him, puzzled. "Are there any of my people in the manor?"
"Who let you out?"
"They climbed over the wall to get here."
Xu Yi glared at Ah Li, "Climbing over the wall? A woman climbing over the wall to leave the mansion, is this how you learned about female virtues and precepts?"
Ahri smirked coldly, "Aren't you going to ask me why I climbed over the wall?"
"Why ask? A viper like you would only do shameful things if she climbed over the wall."
"Oh!"
Ah Li stopped in her tracks and said to Xu Yi, "I must have been blind to have fallen for you."
Why did the original owner fall in love with this kind of person?
Xu Yi also stopped in his tracks. "What did you say?!"
Ahri suppressed the urge to hit someone. She was about to ask the original owner of that question: "Did you ever like me?"
Xu Yi was now furious. The obvious disdain on this man's face earlier wasn't fake; he genuinely looked down on him. He said, "Like you? That's hilarious! You're daydreaming! Listen to me, I didn't like you before, I don't like you now, and I definitely won't like you in the future! Got it?"
"Okay, I understand."
"You understand?"
Xu Yi found it strange that Ah Li was neither heartbroken nor devastated, but instead remained calm.
Ah Li punched him directly, questioning, "Then why did you keep me locked up in the manor, without food or water, and without any concern for me? What's the point of doing this!"
Ah Li punched Xu Yi with every word she spoke.
Xu Yi only learned a rudimentary skill; he was no match for Ah Li at all.
Xu Yi was knocked to the ground, but he was still shouting, "You're not her! Who are you?"
Ah Li kicked the man hard. Seeing that a crowd had gathered around, she said, "Who am I? Why don't you go back to your manor and find out?"
Ah Li pushed through the crowd and left. Xu Yi was helped up, and despite the pain, he said, "Let's go back to the manor!"
Shadow Two stood guard to the side, having eaten quite a few melon seeds; this guy is truly valiant.
However, could this person be Xu Yi's male concubine? Otherwise, why would 'he' ask Xu Yi if he liked 'him'?
These two are both men.
Shadow Two shuddered; it was terrifying.
However, he still had to go back to report. This man seemed to like Xu Yi, but couldn't have him, and even beat someone up in the street. He needed to keep his distance from this man.
Of course, since Shadow Two wasn't following very closely, he didn't hear some of what was said clearly. He was also thinking about sharing this gossip with Shadow One as soon as possible, so he didn't continue following Ahri and turned to leave.
Ah Li walked quickly and still managed to climb over the wall back to Prince Jing's residence.
After returning home, Ahri lit two candles and changed into the red wedding dress that the original owner had worn when she married into the family.
Not long after, Xu Yi arrived with a number of guards, and he ordered his men to kick open the gate.
Then, he slowly walked in, without even looking around, and said directly, "Poisonous woman, are you hiding?"
Ahri walked out of the house carrying a burning red candle. She had also knocked over another candle in the house, which was now starting to burn from the corner of the table.
