The Iceberg Prince was teased by me

Chapter 31: Flee in a hurry

When Ji Yunrou came to her senses, Ji Yunchu had disappeared. She quickly ran to look for her and asked the stall owner, only to find out that she had gone to Jinghong Antique Shop.

Ji Yunrou walked quickly towards the antique shop.

Ji Yunchu took a closer look and saw a piece of dark green jade that was covered in dust. Next to it was a shiny Maitreya Buddha, and on the Maitreya Buddha's throne were several little children surrounding his knees.

"Sister, you have such good taste. This Maitreya Buddha is very suitable to be brought back as a gift to grandma for her birthday!" Ji Yunrou said in an obviously flattering manner.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper behind her immediately put down the account book in his hand, walked to the counter with a smile, took out the Maitreya Buddha from the counter and began to introduce it: "You two have good eyes. This Maitreya Buddha was voluntarily placed here for sale by a senior monk from the Fahua Temple a month ago. He said that people with a predestined relationship would see its value."

Ji Yunrou smiled even more attentively after hearing this, "Big sister, this is something from a high monk in Fahua Temple. It's a rare good thing even if you have money. The day after tomorrow is grandma's birthday. How about you take it back and give it to her?"

"Okay." Ji Yunchu agreed readily, looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, how much is it?"

The shopkeeper saw that the business was coming and smiled, "One thousand taels."

Ji Yunchu frowned, pointed at a few more items and asked their prices. The difference was about five hundred taels. Finally, he pointed at the dusty unpolished jade and asked the price.

The shopkeeper saw that the items she asked about were getting cheaper and cheaper, and instantly realized that the person in front of him was a poor girl. His smile obviously disappeared, "This stone is for sale for one or two taels, do you want it, young lady?"

"Yes." Ji Yunchu took out a small piece of silver and put it on the table, "Please give it to me, shopkeeper."

When the shopkeeper saw that she really took out a piece of silver, he intuitively felt that she was really poor, so he quickly took out the unpolished jade and handed it to Ji Yunchu, then put the Maitreya Buddha back inside and walked away.

Seeing that she tried so hard to show her kindness but still couldn't get the same warmth and love from Ji Yunchu as before, Ji Yunrou knew in her heart that Ji Yunchu had really left her.

It was at this moment that she suddenly realized that she seemed to have changed since she came back from Qingxia Mountain. Moreover, she had clearly sent someone to Yueya Tower last time, but she disappeared after opening the door. In the end, she returned home safely and early...

The more Ji Yunrou thought about it, the more frightened she became. Looking at Ji Yunchu's back, she felt inexplicably scared. She could no longer bear the fear and fled in panic.

Ji Yunchu watched her leave suddenly, and for a moment he couldn't guess why she left.

"Host, what happened to Ji Yunrou? Why did she suddenly run away?" Momoda asked in confusion.

"Who would have thought? She was trying to please me just now, but now she suddenly ran away without a word. I also want to know what happened to her."

Ji Yunchu walked out of the antique shop and saw that the Ji family’s carriage was gone, so he had no choice but to continue strolling around Yong’an Street.

"Host, host, your lover is coming towards Yong'an Street. Hurry up and put the jade away, and prepare to find a chance to be alone with him." Momoda reminded cheerfully.

Ji Yunchu collected the unpolished jade with a single thought, "Did he change his appearance today?"

"No."

"Did he say why he came to Yong'an Street?" Ji Yunchu asked in detail.

"I was concentrating on keeping an eye on Ji Yunrou and didn't notice this." Momoda was a little depressed that she had given her true feelings to the wrong person.

He was on guard against Ji Yunrou in every way possible, but the only thing he didn't expect was that she would temporarily leave.

"Then how many people are there?" Ji Yunchu knew that it was worried about him, so he quickly changed the question.

"Three, him and two guards, but he looked a little serious."

Ji Yunchu stood on the street, looking around, and soon saw Zhou Qing driving a carriage at high speed.

Creating a whistling sound, Ji Yunchu watched the carriage go away and immediately started running.

"Host, don't run. You can't catch up. Walk slower. I will keep an eye on him for you and tell you if there is any situation." Momoda saw that she was already out of breath and hurried to dissuade her.

Ji Yunchu stopped, and after catching her breath, she quickened her pace and walked towards the direction of the speeding carriage.

Half a cup of tea later, Momoda reported, "Host, your future sister-in-law was poisoned in the palace. Now the people in the Imperial Hospital are at a loss. She went to Jiang Xuanzhi's clinic and is now rushing to the palace with her men."

"Is he heading back?" Ji Yunchu's eyes quickly searched for something to stop the carriage.

"No, he is going in the opposite direction, you can't catch up with him." Momoda said with some regret.

"You keep an eye on his situation at all times. I'm going back home." Ji Yunchu turned around and walked back. At the corner of the street, he rented a carriage and went back home.

Besides, after Ji Yunrou returned home, she went straight to find Lin and told her all her thoughts.

The more Lin listened, the more she frowned. "No wonder, she used to give me all the money she got, but now she doesn't give me any thank-you gifts or banknotes, and she even keeps the Queen's reward for herself."

"Mom, do you think that my elder sister has remembered what happened when she fell to the bottom of the valley?" Ji Yunrou asked in panic.

Lin hurriedly comforted her, "Rou'er, don't think too much. If she really remembered, she would definitely make a big fuss with her temper. She would definitely not let things go peacefully like this."
