There were at least a thousand people gathered near the Imperial Preceptor's residence, but they dared not get too close. She was certain that a large portion of them had come for her.
Fortunately, Gong Mingyue was shrewd; those people probably never imagined that she lived next door to the Imperial Preceptor's residence.
Ji Jiuying pulled Qingling into the crowd and headed straight for Qi Yeyue Tower.
"This guy, who's been called a good-for-nothing for over a decade, has suddenly transformed into a genius. I really want to meet him!"
"Huh? Wasn't it said that Ji Jiuying received seven days of guidance from the Imperial Preceptor? Today is the seventh day, why hasn't she come out yet?"
"It should be out soon~ Let's wait and see."
······
Among the crowd, Ji Chenyuan, along with Zhou Haiping, Ji Rufeng, and Ji Fengyan, were also waiting for Ji Jiuying to come out.
Ji Fengyan, her face veiled, showed an impatient expression, and her eyes were filled with undisguised hatred.
I really don't know what Dad was thinking. Since he knows she's not his biological daughter, why does he still try to please her? And to make matters worse, he has to drag her into it too.
Has Father forgotten everything Ji Jiuying did to her in the arena?
Although she fainted in the arena, her brother told her every word of the Third Prince's promise to make her his wife.
The Third Prince, who kept saying he loved her and would only marry her, turned around and promised the position of the useless Third Prince's wife. Where did he put Ji Fengyan?
Since that day, the Third Prince has never come to see her again. Even when she takes the initiative to go to him, he makes up all sorts of excuses to fob her off. All of this was caused by Ji Jiuying, so how could she not hate him?
She wished she could drink her blood, eat her flesh, and tear out her tendons.
"Miss, where are we going?"
"Of course, it's to make money~" Ji Jiuying smiled mysteriously.
The two arrived on the main street, light-hearted and excited like a child. This was her second time strolling along this bustling street.
"Miss, Miss, look there's candy... Ah~" A woman in a pink dress shoved Qingling aside.
"Get out of here, don't you have eyes?" came an extremely arrogant voice.
Qingling bumped right into a pillar of the teahouse next door! Ouch~ He gasped for breath, clutching his forehead!
"Qingling, are you alright?" Ji Jiuying hurriedly helped Qingling up and checked the wound on her forehead. Fortunately, it wasn't serious!
Qingling shook her head. "It's alright, Miss!"
The woman who bumped into Qingling glanced at her, gave a haughty snort, and walked straight towards Qiyeyue Tower with her nostrils flared.
"Stop right there! Did I say you could leave?"
Ji Jiuying turned around and said coldly.
Judging from the woman's appearance, she clearly bumped into Qingling on purpose.
The person who hit her thinks they can just walk away so easily?
Hehehe~ She'll see what gives her the right to be so arrogant.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
The woman in the pink dress stopped, turned around, and looked at Ji Jiuying with disdain.
Ji Jiuying walked towards the woman step by step, her eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up. Her cold and sharp gaze made the woman feel a little scared.
Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, he would suddenly become arrogant and disdainful of everyone else.
"What do you want to do?" His arrogant demeanor clearly showed that he didn't take Ji Jiuying seriously.
"Are you blind? Didn't you see you bump into someone?" Ji Jiuying said coldly, her phoenix eyes flashing with a cold light.
"I bumped into a lowly girl, so what?"
Ji Jiuying's aura instantly turned cold. "I advise you to apologize to Qingling immediately, or you won't be able to bear the consequences."
The woman in pink glanced disdainfully at Qingling beside Ji Jiuying. "Apologize? Why should I apologize to a lowly maid? Don't you understand the principle that a good dog doesn't block the way?"
"You!" Qingling's face turned red with anger.
Thud—
Ji Jiuying chuckled and kicked her into the lobby of Qi Yeyue Tower. "In my eyes, you're not even worthy of carrying her shoes."
"Apologize to her immediately!" Ji Jiuying suddenly raised her voice.
All eyes in Qi Yeyue Tower were drawn to it.
"Who dares to cause trouble at Qi Yeyue Tower?"
The crowd looked on with schadenfreude towards the shopkeeper, and sure enough, the shopkeeper put down the brush in his hand with a dark face.
The manager of Qi Yeyue Tower's face darkened, and he was about to step forward to see which reckless person dared to act so presumptuously in Qi Yeyue Tower.
Ji Jiuying secretly showed the token to the shopkeeper where no one else could see, and gestured for him to step back. The shopkeeper's eyes widened. It turned out to be Miss Feng!
He then stared at the woman on the ground with hostility.
He then continued to look down at the accounts, seemingly doing so, but in reality, his eyes were always on Ji Jiuying's side, in case any unexpected events occurred that might harm Miss Feng.
The crowd;......
What does the shopkeeper mean by this? Someone's causing trouble at Qi Yeyue Tower, and he's still busy calculating accounts—something's not right!
Seeing that the shopkeeper ignored them, the servants dared not meddle any further and went back to doing what they were supposed to do.
The woman on the ground stared at Ji Jiuying in disbelief. No one had ever dared to treat her like this before. How dare she? How dare she!
"How dare you treat me like this? Do you know who I am? My young lady is..." The woman in pink suddenly stood up.
Thud—
The woman was kicked to the ground again by Ji Jiuying.
The shopkeeper's eyes widened. This Miss Feng was too fierce. He was actually worried about unexpected events. It seemed he was really overthinking it.
"Enough with the nonsense! I don't care who you are, apologize right now!" Ji Jiuying's voice rang out, her patience with this brat was wearing thin.
The reason she kicked the woman into Qi Yeyue Tower was because she was certain that her master was inside.
She wanted to see who this person was, that a maid dared to be so arrogant.
The woman glared at Ji Jiuying with hatred, wishing her eyes could turn into knives and pierce through her. How dare she...
"Lianxin, what are you doing?"
A cold, desolate voice came from the second floor.
Ji Jiuying looked in the direction of the voice and sized up the woman who was speaking.
The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a gorgeous white silk dress and a light yellow gauze outer garment. Silver threads outlined fluttering butterflies that moved without wind, as if they were about to fly out of the dress.
Her hair was neatly styled back, adorned with a white magnolia hairpin and a tassel hair ornament. Her bright eyes were kind and gentle, and her beautiful face radiated a pure and delicate fragrance, like a fairy descended from the moon.
Everyone at Qi Yeyue Tower was stunned! It was as if a fairy had descended to earth!
The woman also sized up Ji Jiuying, and seeing her simple attire, a flash of disdain crossed her eyes.
Ji Jiuying's attention was entirely on the woman in white, and the emotions in her eyes naturally did not escape Ji Jiuying's notice.
The maid named Lianxin, as if seeing a lifeline, burst into tears. "Miss, you've finally come! Waaah~ If you hadn't come, Lianxin would have been beaten to death, waaaah~"
What a blatant case of the guilty party accusing the innocent first!
Ji Jiuying sneered, too lazy to waste words with her.
