Ji Wanxin's voice came from the store, "It wasn't me who ruined the cloth. I just wanted to take a look at it."

　　"Take a look? You're still trying to defend yourself. It was obviously your work. This bolt of cloth was supposed to be material for my wedding gown. It was the last bolt left in the whole Jinjiang City. Now that you've ruined it, tell me how are you going to pay back," another lady condemned Ji Wanxin furiously.

　　"It wasn't me…" As usual, Ji Wanxin's voice was soft, to the extent that it made her seem very pitiful and wronged.

　　As the argument continued, Ji Yunshu quietly kept the orange-colored jade with no expression and emotion. However, if one looked close enough, a hint of ferocity could be seen from her tranquil eyes. Jing Rong, who was sitting before her, stayed silent. Yet, deep inside, he knew what was happening. He could sense Ji Yunshu's emotions.

　　When they were in Shanhuai, Ji Wanxin left and returned to Jinjiang without any notice. According to the maids, when Ji Wanxin left Ji Yunshu's room with the help of the servants, her face was buried in her palms while her eyes were filled with tears. They were told that she was hurt from accidentally falling on her face. As she was already feeling unwell, she failed to hold her tears back. That was also the reason she departed to Jinjiang.

　　Jing Rong did not question further about the incident. He did not know that, in actual fact, Ji Yunshu had torn down Ji Wanxin's mask and slapped her mercilessly. Worse, she cut off her relations.h.i.+p with Ji Wanxin. That was why she had left Shanhuai.

　　However, Ji Yunshu had never mentioned this incident. It was not because of kindness or trying to cover up Ji Wanxin's evil acts. Ji Yunshu only did not want to spread this matter around and create trouble for herself. Why would she tire herself in women's drama when she could occupy herself with her bones instead? Women were always difficult creatures.

　　Jing Rong said, "Aren't you in a hurry to go back to check on Fu Bo? Let's go." He then put a piece of silver on the table.

　　When they were on their way back, they pa.s.sed by the store. The noise and crowd were bigger than ever, and people were starting to talk. "Isn't she the Second Miss of the Ji Family? Why is she buying fabric for wedding gowns."

　　"I reckon she's getting married!"

　　"Married to who?"

　　"You don't know? Her fiance is the son of a high ranking official in the Ministry of Rites. Rumor says he's a dragon amongst men. Besides being handsome, he's a very gentle and knowledgeable man. Countless young ladies of rich families wish to be paired up with him." The pa.s.serby heaved an envious sigh. "The second miss of the Ji Family must have done a great charity in her past life to be blessed with such fortune! In this case, her fiance is the unlucky one. The Second Miss Ji has had a weak body since young, it's a well-known fact in Jinjiang City. It won't be a surprise if something happens soon after she marries…"
