C15 The Embroidered Ball Storm

I don't know if it was because I woke up too late in the morning or because Jingyi wasn't around, but at night, I was lying on the bed and couldn't sleep.

Tangtang had already gone to rest. I was alone in the room, pacing back and forth. For a moment, I didn't know what to do.

Jingyi used to live in this room. There should be a lot of things here that he had used before.

He walked back and forth, searching for something. Inadvertently, I saw a book on the shelf.

Hm? These are all antiques, why is there only one extra book, and it's even placed so high up in the air?

With my height, I definitely won't be able to reach it. Thus, I moved a chair, stepped on it, and took the book down.

"Ah... Che..." The dust on it choked me until I sneezed.

I patted the dust on it and took a closer look. Huh? Classics of poetry? I couldn't help but wonder, how could a book of poetry, a very ordinary book, be treated so differently?

Before I could open it, because of the slap just now, a corner of a piece of paper leaked out.

I conveniently took it out and opened it to take a look. I couldn't help but be stunned.

It was a letter. To be exact, it was a love letter from Seventh Princess and Lee Ningyan to Han Jingyi.

I didn't know that Han Jingyi actually had such an experience in the past. Suddenly, my heart felt sour and angry.

Could it be that this was the so-called jealousy?

My heart was beating rapidly. Apart from feeling sad, I also felt very uneasy. I look at the letter in my hand and actually don't know what to do.

I stuffed the letter back into the book, stepped on the chair, and placed the book back in its original place.

I pretended to be calm and lay back on the bed, pretending that nothing had happened, pretending that I didn't know anything.

I forced myself to close my eyes and go to bed early. I hoped that when I woke up, I would find that all of this was just a dream.

However, I, who was not sleepy at all, became even more flustered at this moment.

If I saw it, I would see it. If I knew it, I would see it again. How can I pretend not to know? I am a person who can't hide things in the first place.

I suddenly sat up and looked in the direction of the book.

He went over to provoke a dissolute debt. Why should I panic? I should ask him for an explanation. The one who should panic should also be him.

I got up again, moved the chair, and took out the letter again.

Looking at the words on the letter, I felt more and more dazzled. I was so angry that I suddenly gathered them together and threw them at the door.

No, I can't lose this letter. I still need to use it to find Han Jingyi to explain. I want to ask him why he has Lee Ningyan and wants to marry me.

Picking up the crumpled letter, I found a drawer and put it in.

But when I lay on the bed again, I still could not sleep. It was only after the third night that I started to feel sleepy.

Although I slept late the day before, I woke up very early the next day. I don't know what's wrong with me either. Maybe it's because I have something on my mind.

But so what if I woke up earlier? Jingyi isn't here, and I can't run to the camp to ask him for an explanation.

I didn't eat anything for breakfast. I was sitting at home in a daze. Other than panicking, I was also angry.

"Hmph, you can't even allow me to go out, but you went to provoke Lee Ningyan yourself. Why?!" I couldn't help but mutter to myself.

After that, I called Tangtang over and asked her to prepare. I want to leave the house.

"Madam, are you still a woman disguised as a man?" Tangtang asked.

"Yes." I just nodded and suddenly changed my mind. "No, we're wearing female clothing. " Also, you have to help me dress up nicely. "

Han Jingyi, didn't you tell me not to go out? I wouldn't listen to you. Not only do I have to go out, but I also have to dress up properly. I just want to go against you. Who asked you to anger me first?

"Yes." Tangtang's face was full of doubt, but she obediently went to prepare.

...

After exiting the residence, I did not know where to go. Standing at the entrance, I looked left and right but my heart was always thinking about that letter.

"Madam, where are we going?" Tangtang asked.

"I don't know."

"Ah? You didn't even think about where to go and brought this servant out?" Tangtang had a puzzled expression.

That's right. To bring her out, it was only because they had a plan in advance that they acted. And this is the first time I came out aimlessly.

Suddenly, two men passed by us.

"I heard that the eldest daughter of Shengtai Bank is quite pretty. Why does she have to use this method to get married?"

"No, throwing embroidery balls? Interesting! I wonder who would be so lucky to catch the pie that fell from the sky."

"Let's go quickly. Maybe this pie will hit the heads of the two of them."

They were getting further and further away. I couldn't hear the rest of their conversation clearly.

"Tangtang, why don't we go and join in the fun as well?" Although her curiosity was piqued, the grievance in her heart was still there.

Tangtang's interest was piqued and she clapped her hands repeatedly beside me.

I have heard of the Shengtai Bank. In the north side of the city, two more streets and we will reach the north gate. Tangtang and I walked for a long time before we arrived outside Shengtai Bank.

This place was already full of people. Although most of them were unmarried men, there were a few women and children who came to watch the show.

"Madam, there are too many people around. I'm afraid we can only watch here." Tangtang said to me in disappointment.

I lightly flicked her forehead and said with a smile, "It's not like we want to steal the embroidery ball. It's enough to just watch the show."

Looking at the sea of people in front of me, I was absent-minded from time to time. I kept thinking about the letter and Han Jingyi.

Suddenly, a gong sounded from the high platform in the distance. Everyone quieted down. I instantly regained my senses and shifted my attention to the high platform in the distance.

"Madam, look, it's the eldest miss of Shengtai Bank!" Tangtang pointed to the side of the high platform happily.

I looked in the direction and saw a woman with a figure and dress, sitting in a corner of the platform.

"It's a pity that she's covering her face. I can't see what she looks like." Tangtang was a little disappointed.

I did not say anything. Although my gaze was fixed on that woman, my thoughts flew away again.

When I came back to my senses once more, the person in charge had already finished speaking. As for that woman, she received the embroidery ball and had already walked to the side of the platform.

A gentle breeze blew, and the woman's veil floated up. In an instant, I saw the woman's appearance clearly.

So beautiful, like a fish in the water, a goose in the water, and a flower in the moonlight. This is the kind of face you're talking about, isn't it?

Of course, I am not the only one who saw her face. Those men instantly became excited, and the scene once again became lively.

"Quickly throw it!"

"Miss Kang, throw it here!"

"Over here! Throw it here!"

...

Looking at these people, I can't help but feel pity for the woman on the stage. She has a good family background and looks. Why did she insist on using this method to look for someone else?

If the person I met in the end was an evil person like Young Master Soong, what should I do with her?

"Madam, quickly take a look!" Tangtang suddenly pointed at a spot in the crowd.

I took the opportunity to take a look. Oh my god, why is it so coincidental? Just a moment ago, I thought of Young Master Soong, and he was right in the middle of the crowd.

I couldn't help but sweat for the woman on the stage.

After three gong sounds, the woman threw the embroidery ball in her hand.

I don't know if it was because these people were too excited, or because the embroidery ball was a bit difficult to grasp. The embroidery ball bounced back and forth in the crowd, but it never returned to its owner.

Every time the embroidery ball approached Young Master Soong, my heart would be nervous for that woman. Suddenly, my wrist tightened and I turned around. Han Jingyi was standing in front of me in armor.

"Why are you here?"

"Why are you here?"

The two of us asked at the same time. The next moment, I thought of that letter and couldn't help but feel angry.

He was one step ahead of me and said again, "Didn't I tell you to wait for me obediently at home? Why did you run out today after I left yesterday?"

I forcefully shook off his hand and said angrily, "Stop questioning me. I still have things to settle with you!"

He should not have thought that I would have such an attitude. After the shock, he asked me, "Settle the score with me?"

"Yes, I want to ask you..."

Before I could finish speaking, I suddenly heard a whoosh and saw the red embroidery ball fall into Jingyi's arms just like that.

My heart skipped a beat and I instantly reacted. I grabbed the embroidery ball and threw it at the crowd behind me.

Perhaps the person who was in charge just now saw the embroidered ball fall into Jingyi's arms, so when I threw the ball out, Someone sounded the gong once again.

The gong stopped, and the embroidered ball just happened to be thrown into Soong Tianwu's hands.

What did I do? I actually pushed that innocent girl into Soong Tianwu's hands with my own hands!

"Come with me!" Jingyi pulled me out.

Before I could say anything, someone in the distance shouted. "General, please wait!"

Jingyi and I turned around at the same time and saw a middle-aged man with a few servants walking towards us through the crowd.

What's going on? What did they call Jingyi for? I was puzzled, but at the same time, I felt uneasy.

When they arrived in front of us, Soong Tianwu also came over with the embroidered ball and his men.

The middle-aged man bowed slightly and said, "I am Cai Shen, the second manager of Shengtai Bank, and also the manager of the Kang Family. May I ask this young general's name?"

Jingyi and I were both surprised. We didn't know why he came to find us, but before Jingyi could reply, Soong Tianwu said unhappily, "Old man, are you stupid? The one who got the embroidery ball is grandpa!"

The shopkeeper turned around to look at Soong Tianwu. He looked troubled, then explained, "I won't hide it from this young master. When I was striking the gong, the embroidery ball happened to be in the hands of this young general. So this result..."

"Bullshit!" Soong Tianwu flew into a rage and smashed the ball onto the ground. He turned to look at Jingyi and grabbed the shopkeeper by the collar. "What? Do you think I'm not as good as him?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare!" The manager quickly explained, "The ball did fall into the hands of this young general. I don't know why, but the girl threw it out again. Although it fell into your hands, the owner of the ball should be him."

"Bullsh * t!" Soong Tianwu said discontentedly, "Since this embroidered ball fell into Grandfather's hands today, then this Young Miss of the Kang Family, Grandfather must marry her back."

Of course, I didn't want Jingyi to marry that woman, but I also didn't want her to marry Soong Tianwu. So, I opened my mouth and said, "Since the ownership of this embroidery ball is controversial, why don't I ask your Young Miss to throw it again?"

Just as I finished speaking, a woman suddenly shouted, "No!"

Following the sound, we all turned around and saw that the young lady of the Kang Family, who had just been on the high platform, had already arrived in front of us.

She continued, "Since when the gong rang, this embroidery ball fell into the hands of this general, then the person I want to marry today, of course, can only be him!"
