Chapter 126: Cursing
Even if Ye Jinshu didn't see the voice, he would know who it was.

Ji Yanqing.

Ye Jinshu first looked around to see if the guards who followed her out made any movement. After making sure that they didn't hear anything, she looked towards the place where the sound came from.

The wall that seemed normal just now was now opened like a door. From Ye Jinshu's side, he could not only see Ji Yanqing, but also the room on Ji Yanqing's side.

There was another person in Ji Yanqing's room.

He was wearing a simple Taoist robe with messy hair draped over his body. Although he looked unkempt, he was very clean.

Originally, that person was dozing off beside the chair, but the moment he noticed Ye Jinshu's gaze, he opened his eyes and looked straight at Ye Jinshu. There was a sharp look in his eyes for a moment, as if it could penetrate thousands of spaces, but the moment he realized that the person opposite him was Ye Jinshu, only kindness remained in his eyes.

It was this look that made Ye Jinshu feel that this man had aged a lot in an instant. He clearly looked younger than Ji Yanqing, but the look in his eyes was like that of a man in his seventies.

Ye Jinshu had seen such a look before.

She had seen it in herself.

In just a moment, Ye Jinshu was able to confirm that this person, like her, had memories of her past life, and that this person knew her.

It was very strange. It was obvious that Ye Jinshu had never seen the Taoist priest in front of her, but the moment her eyes met his, all the grievances in her heart surged up, and she had an urge to tell the Taoist priest in front of her everything that had happened to her.

Just as she was about to walk over there, the voice in Ye Jinshu's ears pulled her thoughts back from the Taoist priest in front of her.

When Ji Yanqing was alone, he had imagined what Ye Jinshu's reaction would be when she saw him again. Would she be scared, or would she be too shy to see him, or would she scold him? But no matter what he thought, Ji Yanqing never thought that Ye Jinshu would cry.

Ye Jinshu is actually a very strong person.

It’s not accurate to say that she is strong. To be more precise, she doesn’t care about many things.

Most people would think twice before doing anything, considering the gains and losses. If this thing is not beneficial to themselves, they will not do it. But Ye Jinshu is different. She only does what she likes and rarely clings to anything.

Such people find it difficult to care about others and naturally are difficult to get hurt.

At least during the days when Ji Yanqing watched Ye Jinshu day after day, he had never seen Ye Jinshu cry. Even if she shed tears, it was because of external stimulation and not because of her own emotions.

Ji Yanqing's definition of crying is that tears must be caused by one's own emotions to be considered crying, otherwise, it is just shedding tears.

Because of this, when Ji Yanqing found that Ye Jinshu in front of him started crying when he called her, he felt helpless at first.

He was at a loss as he had never seen Ye Jinshu cry before and never cared about other people crying. He didn't know what to do.

But the next moment, Ji Yanqing thought of something else.

What happened when he left that made Ye Jinshu cry like this? He would not let go of any person who dared to be rude to Ye Jinshu.

Ji Yanqing looked at Jiang Sisi: Didn’t you say you were protecting Jinshu? How did you do that?

Jiang Sisi was not willing to be outdone. She didn't even respond with her eyes. Instead, she directly took Ye Jinshu into her arms and looked at Ji Yanqing with ill intent: "Jinshu is blaming you for coming just now."

Ji Yanqing was confused. Was it because of him?
Was it really because of him that Ye Jinshu cried?
Ji Yanqing could always figure out everything easily, but at this moment he hesitated. Was it really because he was late? What should he say now?
Before Ji Yanqing could figure out what to do, Jiang Sisi patted Ye Jinshu's back and comforted him, "Princess, don't cry. I'll help you scold him."

Ji Yanqing followed suit: "Jinshu, don't cry. I will help you scold myself."

Ye Jinshu was clearly feeling sad just now, but after hearing these words, she no longer felt sad.

But the people present did not notice that when they were making a mess, the Taoist priest looked at them with a smile on his face, like a smile of relief after all the hardships.

After being disturbed by the two, Ye Jinshu no longer felt the abnormality she had felt when she saw the Taoist priest. She poked her head out of Jiang Sisi's arms and explained, "Don't blame Ji Yanqing."

Jiang Sisi smiled and said, "We haven't even had the wedding yet, and you've already started protecting her?"

This sentence made Ji Yanqing blush, but Ye Jinshu was heartless and didn't feel ashamed. He replied as a matter of course: "I'm indeed not crying because of Ji Yanqing."

Jiang Sisi patted Ye Jinshu's head and said, "Okay, okay." But her eyes were looking at Ji Yanqing's red face and she found it funny.

It seems that Ye Jinshu will not suffer any grievances after marrying him, but Ji Yanqing will suffer a lot of grievances.

Ji Yanqing's originally planned opening was interrupted by Ye Jinshu's sudden crying. Now he couldn't start over again, so he could only change the subject: "The Taoist priest over there is the one who knows the truth. He said that he must see Jinshu before he can tell the truth."

When Ye Jinshu heard Ji Yanqing talking about the Taoist priest, she looked over again. At this time, the Taoist priest was smiling at her, which made her feel familiar again.

"Jinshu, long time no see." Seeing Ye Jinshu's familiar yet unfamiliar gaze, the Taoist took the initiative to speak.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jinshu also subconsciously said, "Long time no see."

Jiang Sisi asked: "Princess, do you know him?"

Ye Jinshu shook his head: "I don't know him, but he looks very familiar to me. I feel like I've seen him before."

The Taoist priest looked at Ji Yanqing and said, "Prince, can you let me talk to Jinshu alone? Only those who are involved in the situation can know the truth."

Ji Yanqing didn't look at the Taoist priest, but only at Ye Jinshu. After seeing Ye Jinshu nod, he said, "Jinshu, don't be afraid. We are right here. There is a vase at the door over there. Turn the vase once to close the middle door, and turn it again to open it again."

Ye Jinshu nodded to show that he understood, and walked towards the direction of the Taoist priest without hesitation.

That was the truth she wanted to know.

Jiang Sisi and Ji Yanqing watched the middle-aged man's door close in front of them, and in an instant, the atmosphere began to become subtle.

Although the two of them often exchanged letters, they always talked about Ye Jinshu's affairs. This was the first time they were in the same space like this.

In the end, it was Ji Yanqing who took the initiative to speak: "Why is Jinshu crying? Was she wronged when I was away?"

Jiang Sisi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were still talking about Ye Jinshu, so she had something to say.

Jiang Sisi slammed the table and started to curse. Finally it was her turn to complain.

Thanks Faout for the gift!
