Chapter 262 Nosy
That’s right, He Xiang is Ye San. Qi Wuyou was really shocked when he learned the news.
She guessed that He Xiang might be just a palace maid who knew some martial arts, but she didn't expect that she was the third secret guard beside Xuan Yelan.
As expected, when Xuan Yelan heard this, his heart tightened and he quickly closed his eyes, trying to hide his inner uneasiness.
Qi Wuyou shrugged, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.
She said nothing, turned around and skipped out to play.
In the next few days, Qi Wuyou, An Ning and Lu Jiu had a great time in Tongzhou.
Maybe shopping is girls' nature. Everything Qi Wuyou and An Ning saw in Tongzhou was new to them and they bought them happily.
Of course, the only ones who had fun were Qi Wuyou and An Ning, while Lu Jiu was just a laborer carrying bags.
On this day, Qi Wuyou and An Ning were in high spirits as usual and were planning where to go for fun today, but Lu Jiu, who was following behind them, had a look of deep resentment on his face.
"Mr. Lu," Lianxiang, who was walking beside Lu Jiu, took the fruit that Qi Wuyou had just bought for her and took a bite, then took another one and handed it to Lu Jiu, "Would you like to eat it?"
Lu Jiu snatched the fruit away in a fit of anger, and took a big bite as if he thought the fruit was water.
Lian Xiang shook her head. "Young man, you have too much temper."
Lu Jiu looked at her angrily, "What qualifications do you have to criticize me? Why do you let me take the things you bought?"
Lian Xiang frowned and snorted in dissatisfaction, "What's wrong with a man like you being so stingy?"
After saying that, he rolled his eyes and followed Qi Wuyou and An Ning in front of him without looking back.
Lu Jiu widened his eyes and looked at Lianxiang's back, his heart filled with hatred. He couldn't help but throw the fruit in his hand to the ground to vent his hatred.
But he soon realized that he couldn't do this. If His Majesty and his father knew that he had lost the Queen, the consequences would be disastrous. He would probably be skinned alive.
So he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and followed.
At the same time, Qi Wuyou, An Ning and others were strolling in the market when they suddenly heard a fierce argument.
Qi Wuyou looked around curiously and saw a group of people gathered not far away to watch the fun. It was obvious that something had happened.
She looked at An Ning, and then, taking advantage of her short and slender stature, she quickly squeezed to the front of the crowd.
After some observation, they finally figured out the whole story.
It turned out that a stall owner was pointing angrily at the broken porcelain on the ground and cursing at an old man in tattered clothes.
The old man's face flushed red, his lips trembled, and he stammered, "This... I didn't break it. I was just passing by..."
However, the stall owner held on to the piece of porcelain like a vicious dog, insisting that the old man had broken it.
He pointed at the old man and shouted angrily: "Who else could it be if not you? I saw you pick up the bottle and throw it on the ground with my own eyes!"
The two of them insisted on their own opinions and neither of them was willing to give in.
At this time, there were no other witnesses to prove the truth of the matter.
People around gathered around, pointing and talking.
Some said that the old man might have accidentally knocked over the bottle, while others believed that the stall owner was deliberately blackmailing the old man.
Qi Wuyou couldn't bear to watch it any longer. She stepped forward, stood in front of the old man, and said righteously, "It's just a piece of porcelain. You don't have to embarrass the old man like this, right?"
She really couldn't understand why someone would make things so difficult for an old man over such a small matter?
Moreover, although the people watching the fun around may not be unaware of the truth, most of them have a non-interventionist mentality and are happy to watch others laugh at their mistakes.
The stall owner's eyes flashed with disdain, and he snorted coldly: "Oh, you are so kind, then you can pay for him!"
After saying that, he looked Qi Wuyou up and down, and seeing that she was dressed simply, he snorted contemptuously: "But I guess, you little girl don't have any money."
Hearing this, the people around burst into laughter and echoed: "That's right, little girl, don't meddle in other people's business and go home to your parents." They felt that Qi Wuyou was overestimating his own abilities and dared to meddle in other people's business.
An Ning had a short temper. She hated it most when others looked down upon her, so she immediately retorted: "Who are you looking down upon? Be careful or I will throw money at you and kill you."
"Hey," the stall owner laughed and mocked, "Little girl, who can't brag?"
As he spoke, he patted his cheek and said provocatively, "Come on, hit me to death with silver!"
The people around laughed and watched everything that happened here as if they were watching a play. No one stood up to speak for Qi Wuyou and An Ning.
Without saying a word, Qi Wuyou took out a silver ingot from the purse he was carrying and threw it into the boss's hand without hesitation.
Her voice was clear and sharp, "Is that enough?"
When the stall owner saw the silver ingot, his face changed instantly, becoming greedy and excited.
His eyes widened and stared at the silver, as if he wanted to swallow it.
The stall owner quickly put the silver into his arms, with a flattering smile on his face, and said to Qi Wuyou: "That's enough, Miss, do you want to see other goods?"
Qi Wuyou glanced at the stall owner with disdain and replied coldly: "I am not interested in your goods."
As she spoke, she quickly walked over to the old man who had been pushed to the ground by the stall owner, carefully helped him up, and asked with concern whether he was injured.
The old man looked at Qi Wuyou gratefully, his eyes full of emotion and gratitude.
"Thank you, girl. I'm fine..." the old man said weakly.
Qi Wuyou smiled and comforted him: "It's okay, old man, you can go home early."
The old man nodded, slowly stood up, and hobbled away from the scene.
After saying goodbye to the old man, Qi Wuyou and his group continued to stroll forward.
However, they did not notice that there was a cold gaze staring at them not far away, especially the heavy purse around Qi Wuyou's waist.
I saw a sneaky man following Qi Wuyou and An Ning closely, his eyes fixed on the purse around Qi Wuyou's waist, with a greedy smile on his face.
He originally wanted to rob people on the street, but just as he got closer, a man and a woman came up from behind him and sandwiched the two girls in the middle.
"My two young ladies," Lian Xiang said with a look of resentment, "could you please stop running around? If anything happens, I won't be able to bear the consequences."
"That's right," Lu Jiu also put on a resentful expression, "You two are having fun, but have you ever considered our feelings?"
