Yong Yaxuan was originally walking in the crowd with a mask on. First, he was bumped into by a speeding child, and then by a masked girl.
The book attendant beside him couldn't help but remind him when he saw him being bumped into twice in a row, "Your Highness the Third Prince, this place is full of all kinds of people. Be sure to watch your personal belongings." As soon as he finished speaking, Yong Yaxuan felt around and found that his money pouch was really gone.
"Let's go." Yong Yaxuan turned around and went to look for the masked girl who had just bumped into him.
At this moment, Ji Feiyu was walking forward when suddenly a child rushed towards her. The child was about to leave after bumping into her, but Ji Feiyu grabbed the hand that was holding her money pouch and asked with a smile, "Little brother, do you have something in your hand that you shouldn't?"
The child immediately panicked. Looking behind her, he saw Yong Yaxuan walking towards them. He quickly let go of the money pouch, which fell. Ji Feiyu quickly caught it with her other hand.
The child hurriedly said, "Sister, I'm sorry. I apologize to you! Here's this for you too!" Then he took out another money pouch from his body and threw it at her.
Seeing something flying towards her chest, Ji Feiyu had to let go of the child's hand to catch it. At this moment, the child slipped away like an eel.
Ji Feiyu looked at the other money pouch the child had thrown at her in bewilderment. Just as she was about to call him back, she found that he had already disappeared.
Just then, someone patted her on the shoulder from behind. She turned around and saw a man wearing the same mask as hers, with a book attendant beside him. The man pointed at the money pouch in her hand somewhat unhappily and said, "Miss, this money pouch seems to be mine."
Ji Feiyu had just gotten a money pouch when a stranger came to claim it. Naturally, she regarded him as a strange person and said, "Do you think this money pouch is yours just because you say so? A child just threw it to me."
Yong Yaxuan said, "If it's not mine, could it be yours? Miss, you've been caught red - handed. If you don't return it to me, don't blame me for reporting you to the authorities."
Ji Feiyu laughed, "You suspect that I stole this money pouch?"
Yong Yaxuan: "Isn't it?"
Ji Feiyu: "Of course not. As for you, you claim this money pouch is yours. How can you prove it? How about this? If you can tell me the exact amount of silver inside, I'll return this money pouch to you."
Hearing this, the book attendant anxiously said, "How can you be like this? We've said this money pouch belongs to our young master. Why would we lie to you?" He was so eager to defend because he knew his young master didn't keep track of his spending.
Yong Yaxuan coughed lightly and said, "Miss bumped into me before, and then my money pouch disappeared without a trace. I chased after it and found it in your hand. If you say you didn't steal it, how can you prove your innocence?"
Ji Feiyu laughed and weighed the other money pouch in her hand. She said, "Because there's more silver in my own money pouch than in this one."
The book attendant said, "What if your money pouch is also stolen?"
Ji Feiyu gave him a disdainful look, "You can't say anything nice."
The book attendant got angry: "Who are you calling a dog?"
Ji Feiyu: "Whoever answers me is!"
The book attendant: "You!"
Yong Yaxuan stopped the book attendant and said gently, "So, Miss, you're not going to return the money pouch to me?"
Ji Feiyu laughed, "Since you've misunderstood me and I don't trust you either, let's compete for it."
Hearing this, Yong Yaxuan reached for the money pouch in her hand. Ji Feiyu narrowly avoided him and turned to leave. Yong Yaxuan followed, and the two fought as they walked. Soon they were out of the crowd.
Ji Feiyu's martial arts skills were not very good. She hadn't systematically learned martial arts, but at this moment, with the internal strength of the grand tutor, she was light - footed. Coupled with her natural agility, if Yong Yaxuan didn't take it seriously, he really couldn't snatch the money pouch from her. In this fight for the money pouch, to others, it seemed as if Ji Feiyu was just teasing Yong Yaxuan.
Yong Yaxuan originally didn't want to fight a girl, so he was very restrained. But now he found it wasn't easy to get the money pouch, so he lost his patience and started to take it seriously. Seeing that he was no longer holding back, Ji Feiyu also focused more on dealing with him.
Yong Yaxuan saw that Ji Feiyu became stronger when faced with a stronger opponent, and he couldn't help but be a bit more interested in her.
Seeing that the two were at a stalemate, the book attendant quickly went to find the eldest prince who had come out with them. Yong Chengxuan was also looking at some small items at a nearby stall. When he heard that his younger brother was fighting with someone, he quickly put down the items in his hand and rushed over.
Just as the fight between the two was getting fiercer, Yong Yaxuan reached out and touched Ji Feiyu's mask. On a whim, he took it off. Ji Feiyu turned her head, and her hair fluttered. Yong Yaxuan only felt a softness brush against his hand, bringing a fragrance.
Ji Feiyu spun around and stood still, revealing a peerlessly beautiful face. Her eyebrows were like a painting, and her skin was as white as snow. Yong Yaxuan was so stunned that he just stared. At this moment, the book attendant brought Yong Chengxuan over. Chengxuan was also stunned when he saw Ji Feiyu and softly called out, "Yu'er?"
Ji Feiyu looked in the direction of the voice and was overjoyed. She called out, "Brother Chengxuan!"
Yong Yaxuan, who was standing beside them, looked at them in surprise. "Do you two know each other?"
As he spoke, Ji Feiyu had already walked towards Yong Chengxuan. Yong Chengxuan replied to him, "Yes. We met a few years ago when I was painting in Liuyun."
Liuyun. Yong Yaxuan remembered it was a remote small country in his elder brother's "Map of Mountains and Rivers". It was really far away.
"How did you end up here?" Ji Feiyu and Yong Chengxuan almost asked this question at the same time.
After they said this, they looked at each other and laughed. Yong Yaxuan looked at them and didn't know why he felt a bit out of place.
"I'm originally from Dayong. This is my younger brother, Yaxuan. Yaxuan, this is Feiyu." Yong Chengxuan, as the eldest brother, was very considerate.
"We've already met." Ji Feiyu had a smile on her lips. When she looked at Yong Yaxuan again, there was no trace of her previous arrogance. Yong Yaxuan then took off his mask, revealing a handsome and elegant young man.
But at this moment, Yong Yaxuan was obviously not very happy. He said in a low voice, "Brother, she took my money pouch."
"No, Brother Chengxuan. This money pouch was really given to me by a child." Ji Feiyu's eyes were innocent.
Yong Chengxuan smiled, "Why don't you both tell me what happened to you."
The two then told their stories in turn. Yong Chengxuan said, "Since Yaxuan was also bumped into by the child, why didn't you suspect him?"
Yong Yaxuan said, "He's so young. He shouldn't be capable of such a thing."
Ji Feiyu, however, said, "In that case, it's very simple for me to prove my innocence. I just need to catch that child and confront him."
