At that time, Chu Ci saw from a distance that someone was quarreling not far away. This had nothing to do with Chu Ci, but this matter happened to be seen by Chu Ci. Naturally, she couldn't let it go, so she got off her horse and rushed towards the crowd.
However, Chu Ci did not expect that after squeezing into the crowd, she would slightly furrow her brow, because she saw a somewhat familiar figure...
That red-clothed young man who was seen outside the palace banquet earlier was now squatting on the ground, holding his head in his hands. Next to him was an infuriated middle-aged man who wanted to kick the youngster but was being held back by several passersby. Despite this, the middle-aged man still bellowed: "Let me go, let me beat this blind fortune teller to death!"
Chu Ci turned his head to ask the onlookers, and soon heard one of them say, "This man set up a fortune-telling stall on the street. Li Dashi's wife had been pregnant for several years, and Li Dashi wanted him to tell the fortune of his unborn child. But this guy spoke out of turn and said that as soon as Li Dashi's child was born, it would die. Whoever heard it would get angry..."
Chu Ci listened and was even more speechless.
Luckily, after Uncle Li scolded him severely, he finally calmed down a bit and kicked over the young man's fortune-telling stall before walking away in a huff.
And the young man remained squatting on the ground, hugging himself and not moving at all.
Chu Ci saw that his hands were all bruised, feeling like he had been beaten up pretty badly. Still, she couldn't bear it and handed him a handkerchief, clearing her throat to say, "Do you want to wipe yourself?"
At the sound of her voice, the young man's shoulders seemed to stiffen slightly, and he slowly raised his head, revealing a pale and delicate face. A few strands of black hair were disheveled and stuck to his forehead, and his eyes, which were very clear and beautiful, seemed to be in pain. His eyes were misty, and he looked at Chuyi with a dazed expression. He stretched out the injured hand, took the handkerchief from Chuyi's hand, wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said in a distracted tone: "Fragrant."
Chu Ci was a bit dazed: "What's that fragrant...?"
The young man waved the handkerchief in his hand and didn't plan to return it to her. He gritted his teeth, took her hand, and used it as leverage to stand up.
Chu Ci was somewhat resistant, frowning and pushing away his hand, saying: "I don't know if you have a problem with your brain, but if you go on setting up fortune-telling stalls and deceiving the masses again, I might just have to take you in for questioning at the Ming government office."
Upon hearing this, the young man looked at her and slowly said "oh", then blinked his eyes and asked: "Are you an official?"
Chu Ci nodded and raised her chin.
The next moment, the red-clothed youth obediently stretched out his two hands in front of her and said, "Then take me away."
"......Are you out of your mind?"
"If you don't take me away, I will continue to spread rumors and deceive the masses."
This is really outrageous, he doesn't put the official seal in his eyes at all, it's necessary to take him back and let the people of Ming Yanshi educate him well.
So, Chu Ci furrowed his brow and nodded: "Alright, follow me."
Chu Ci led him back to find Ma, the red-clothed youth behind them enthusiastically introducing himself: "My name is Yu Jin, what's yours?"
"It has nothing to do with you."
Chu Ci found her horse and planned to hire another carriage to take Yu Jin back together, but after she got on the horse, she quickly felt that the whip in her hand was a bit strange. She subconsciously raised her hand to look at it and found that her palm had been stained with black powder. The next moment, her whole body suddenly softened and lost its center of gravity, and she fell off the horse with a thud...
