Chapter 119 My dear aunt has a terrible temper.
Why is he acting crazy in broad daylight?
The shadowy figure looked at him with some oddness.
This is the first time I've seen our lord so humiliated...
He covered his eyes with his hands, unable to bear looking at it.
Jun Ce coughed lightly and turned to the shadowy figure, saying, "I disagree. How can we only buy jewelry?"
"Buy some more food."
Everyone turned their heads away.
Ugh! I thought there was some juicy gossip going on.
Is this the result?
For a time, everyone in the market was busy with their own things.
Zhai Rongyu turned around, somewhat annoyed.
All you ever think about is eating!
Jun Ce glanced at the lone figure.
The figure immediately understood, and stepped forward to hand the poria cocos cakes he had just bought to Zhai Rongyu.
She stood with her hands on her hips, looking at the lone figure with some anger, then turned around and glared at Jun Ce.
The latter gave a helpless, faint smile.
She snatched the Poria cocos cake, stuffed it into her mouth, and took two angry bites.
Hmm, it's quite delicious.
Then, as if realizing something, she threw the Poria cocos cake back into Zhiying's arms and continued walking forward angrily.
"I'm not going to accept your bribes!"
【Humph. 】
Zhiying looked awkwardly at Jun Ce, and when he pointed to the stall next to him with his eyes, she immediately understood and went to buy a few more things to eat.
Before long, he was stuffed with all sorts of street food, including cheese, sweet soup, cakes, and dried meat.
He caught up with Zhai Rongyu and handed the food to each of them.
The girl sniffed and deliberately turned her head away, but the aroma of cakes and meat still lingered around her for a long time.
I endured it for half the way, but finally couldn't take it anymore.
With anger in her eyes, she arrogantly stretched out her hand.
"Bring it!"
[Why not eat it if it's free!]
Let's take advantage of him!
[Strip him bald!]
She glanced at Jun Ce and saw that he was covered in boxes of jewelry, and his long legs followed her closely, making him look somewhat comical.
She thought to herself, "What do you mean?"
The regent, in all his glory, is behaving like a lackey.
Serves you right!
【slightly!】
Jun Ce looked at her delicate profile, his obsidian eyes gleaming softly.
He smiled indulgently.
The figure immediately fawned over her, handing her the snacks one by one.
Zhai Rongyu, who had been craving food all the way, no longer bothered to hide it. She walked to a stone pier by the bridge, plopped down, and began to feast.
As I ate, my anger subsided.
Her cheeks were bulging, and she raised her head, her eyes bright, glaring at Jun Ce who was still standing two meters away. She mumbled indistinctly, "You're so smug!"
"This lady has quite a temper!"
Jun Ce smiled and was about to speak when a gaunt old man suddenly rushed out from the crowd and knelt before Zhai Rongyu.
"Young lady, please have mercy and give me a bite to eat..."
Zhai Rongyu was startled by him and almost choked on her food.
After regaining his senses, he took a closer look at the old man and realized something was amiss.
My attempt at dressing as a man today was a complete failure.
[As the most beautiful courtesan, what kind of men hasn't Su Luoyin seen? It's one thing for her to recognize me as a girl.]
[This old man was able to see through it at a glance.]
She furrowed her brows, deep in thought.
【wrong……】
We've walked all this way and haven't seen any beggars. Where did this old man come from?
It looked as if it was coming straight at her.
She opened her third eye and indeed discovered something unusual.
This person has a fierce appearance, and the Greedy Wolf Star has entered the Palace of Fortune, indicating a volatile temper and a penchant for wine and women. His thin physique is likely due to inner emptiness.
Why would someone like that beg for food?
[They must have ulterior motives!]
A fierce glint flashed in Jun Ce's eyes as he gave the figure a look.
The figure nodded slightly, about to step forward and stand between the old man and Zhai Rongyu, when the old man suddenly went berserk and rushed towards Zhai Rongyu!
He seemed to be holding a silver needle in his hand, which reflected a cold, sharp light in the sunlight.
The figure swiftly extended its foot and kicked him away.
The old man fell to the ground, flipped his hand and forcefully inserted the silver needle into his body, then coughed up blood, closed his eyes and fainted.
The lone figure was somewhat terrified.
He had already reduced the force of his kick, so it wouldn't be life-threatening.
This old man is really something else, he's even started harming himself!
Zhai Rongyu stood up, finding the matter rather strange.
Her expression was grave. Just as she was about to step forward to check on the old man's injuries, an old woman suddenly rushed out from the crowd, lunged at the old man on the ground, and began to wail at the top of her lungs: "Murder! Murder!"
It immediately attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
"Old man! Wake up!"
The woman cried with snot and tears streaming down her face, then turned to Zhai Rongyu and cried out, "Young lady, how could you be so cruel!"
"My old man was just starving and begged you for food. If you wouldn't give it to him, fine, but how could you kill him?"
"Is there no law in broad daylight?!"
A collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd.
"Girl? This young man looks handsome, I didn't expect him to be a woman."
"How could someone be so vicious?"
"This old woman was just begging for food, yet she killed her right there in the street!"
Suddenly, a member of the crowd shouted, "I recognize her! She's the second young lady of the Minister's mansion, Zhai Rongyu!"
"What?! It's her!"
"What's the background of this second young lady?"
"You don't know? I've heard that this person's Taoist magic is profound; even the Three Pure Ones are no match for her!"
"Taoist magic? I think it's sorcery!" another onlooker scoffed. "Her behavior is so eccentric, how can she be a Taoist practitioner?"
For a moment, the crowd was talking.
"Yes, cultivators are kind-hearted, how could they kill innocent people like her!"
Some suggested that the old woman report the matter to the authorities, but she cried and said, "Since you all say she is the daughter of a high-ranking official, what's the use of reporting it to the authorities?"
"These people must be protecting each other, colluding with each other in evil deeds!"
"We are nothing but ants among the common people, how could we possibly defeat her?"
These words inflamed public outrage.
"Aren't the lives of ordinary people also lives?"
"Even the daughter of a high-ranking official cannot be killed at will!"
"that is!"
"Even the emperor is subject to the same laws as commoners, let alone a mere woman!"
"My old man died unjustly..." the old woman cried again, clinging to the old man's body, "Please, everyone, give me, this old woman, justice..."
"How am I supposed to live after this?!"
She cried so bitterly that many people in the crowd began to sympathize with her.
Jun Ce's face darkened, and he said in an icy voice, "It was my guard who kicked him away, what does it have to do with her?"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar.
The crowd lowered their voices and whispered among themselves.
"He calls himself 'this king,' could he be a prince?"
"See? I told you so! This Miss Zhai has a powerful backer!"
"No wonder they're so arrogant..."
Jun Ce's eyes were as cold as ice as he handed the large and small bags in his arms to Zhiying.
“This man committed a crime in front of me. It is already lenient that I did not punish his entire family. Yet he still has the audacity to turn around and accuse me.”
"The security in the capital is getting better and better."
He coldly ordered the shadowy figure, "Go and summon the Prefect of the Capital."
