Chapter 20 Vicious Fake Gold 19
Chapter 20 Vicious Fake Gold 19
"I took leave."
Three words, concise and to the point. Ji Qingying was unwilling to say anything more, so even if Ji Qingwei was angry and dissatisfied, she could only suppress it.
The group's room was in a good location. Through the window, Qingyu could clearly see the performance taking place below, and at a glance, she could see Gu Ye sitting in the opposite room.
Qingyu casually fiddled with the curtain beside her, thinking about the plot of this incident: the woman on the stage below suddenly launched a surprise attack to assassinate Gu Ye, and more than a dozen highly skilled martial artists appeared and surrounded the room.
Even though Gu Ye had guards around him, the large number of people in the venue made things inconvenient, and the assassins were extremely skilled in martial arts. In the end, Gu Ye was still injured and had to escape.
He met Ji Qingwei, who was out traveling, and the two of them fell into a dry well together. The two of them, a man and a woman alone, spent the night together.
Thinking of this, Qingyu's gaze fell on Ji Qingwei. According to the time, Ji Qingwei should be out strolling now, preparing to run into Gu Ye.
But at this moment, the latter stared at the window without moving, seemingly having no intention of going out at all.
Qingyu inwardly gloated and shouted to the system, "Oh ho, the female lead has ruined the plot!"
System: "...You bully her a little and kick her out."
Qingyu chuckled but didn't refuse. Instead, she gave a malicious smile and suddenly said, "Ji Qingwei, I want to eat the pastries from the street vendors. Go and buy them for me!"
Ji Qingwei was lost in thought about Qingyu's illness when she was suddenly called out by someone she cared about, which made her feel quite flattered.
She even stood up immediately and repeated, "That one on the street? Do you want anything else? I'll buy a little of everything, so you can eat it later."
As he spoke, he excitedly ran out, leaving Ji Qingbao dumbfounded.
He had never seen Ji Qingwei so obsequious before...
Sure enough, there's always someone who can overcome someone else. Ji Qingbao almost laughed when she thought about how her mother was worried that her two older sisters wouldn't get along.
If Sister Qingyu were to tone it down even a little, Sister Qingwei would probably already be trying to curry favor with her!
"Qingbao, what are you thinking about?" Qingyu asked softly, looking at Ji Qingbao with a half-smile. The latter jumped and immediately moved to Ji Qingying's side, seeking protection.
He smiled obsequiously, "Sister Qingyu, I was just thinking how beautiful this place would be when we arrive tonight."
"Is that so?" Qingyu's smile deepened. She didn't say anything more, just watched the audience with boredom, waiting for the plot to unfold.
Sure enough, within an hour, a riot broke out downstairs. The woman on the platform suddenly sprang up, drew her sword and thrust it directly at Gu Ye. The latter dodged slightly, and the next moment they were locked in combat.
At the same time, more than a dozen men in black suddenly appeared from all directions. Each of them was agile. Gu Ye's side was not to be outdone and immediately sent out guards to fight back. The scene was very chaotic.
Below the observation deck were mostly ordinary people, while those upstairs were all wealthy and powerful. Soon, screams and noise erupted downstairs as the ladies and young women upstairs rushed down to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Ji Qingying immediately grabbed Qingyu's hand and tried to run outside.
Qingyu frowned and shook him off, then took a step back in fear the next second, "Big brother, let's not go out, I'm scared."
Anyway, this is a plot point involving the male and female leads, so those men in black will only kill the male and female leads, right?
"Qingyu, stop fooling around! Come with me! Although these people are clearly after the Crown Prince, we might get involved!" Ji Qingying said anxiously.
What he didn't say was that during his time in office, he had figured out a bit about the situation in the court. For example, the current crown prince was a central target, and everyone wanted to target him!
He had already received help from the Empress several times, and he wondered if it would implicate him!
"I won't!" Qingyu pouted unreasonably, and even sat down, making Ji Qingbao scratch his head and jump around.
"My dear sister! Stop being so sentimental! Let's go!" He was really about to kneel down before Qingyu!
"I want to watch the show." Qingyu said confidently and without fear, because she knew that the male protagonist would escape soon, and those men in black would chase after him.
However, no sooner had she finished speaking than a man suddenly appeared out of nowhere. After looking around anxiously, he exclaimed, "Where's Ji Qingwei?! Hurry! The master said it's not safe here! I'll escort you!"
The person who arrived was Tianyi. He rushed back and hadn't even had time to help Gu Ye before the latter sent him to rescue Miss Ji!
In his mind, Miss Ji was Ji Qingwei, but why wasn't she in her room?!
Tian Yi was anxious and couldn't wait any longer, so he threw out another sentence, "Get out of here right now!"
Then he turned and left quickly, chasing after the group of men in black who were chasing Gu Ye, which was also the direction Gu Ye had fled.
Now, Ji Qingying couldn't wait any longer. Taking advantage of Qingyu's inattention, she immediately knocked the latter unconscious and reached out to catch her as she slumped down.
Her waist was so slender and delicate that Ji Qingying could feel the warmth of the person in her arms even through her clothes.
He suppressed the flutter in his heart, carefully held Qingyu in his arms, and then strode outside.
"Qingbao! Keep up!"
"I'm coming!"
Then they made their way through the crowd, trying to avoid the area of the battle. Ji Qingying carefully shielded Qingyu's face in her arms to prevent her from being recognized and ruining Qingyu's reputation.
The building was still in chaos, but with the departure of the men in black, the restaurant finally had a chance to catch its breath. They quickly sent someone to report to the authorities and instructed the manager to appease the customers and explain the situation to them one by one...
Therefore, Ji Qingying's journey was very safe, and she made it out of the viewing platform smoothly.
The chaos on the street was considerable. Ji Qingying quickly put Qingyu into the carriage, and Fuqin, who had followed, hurriedly got into the carriage to check on Qingyu's condition. Seeing that the latter was just asleep, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Young Master, when will Miss wake up?"
"Don't rush, it'll take about fifteen minutes." Ji Qingying didn't use much force, afraid of hurting this delicate girl.
Just then, a person stumbled and ran over from not far away. It was Fu Hua. Her makeup was all messed up, and she looked extremely disheveled.
"Young Master! Miss has been kidnapped! Quickly, save her!" Fu Hua immediately knelt down and cried out.
Ji Qingying's heart sank. Ji Qingwei had actually been arrested?
"Where?!"
"Over there on the street!"
After saying that, Ji Qingying glanced at Qingyu, grabbed Ji Qingbao, and sternly instructed, "Protect Qingyu well. If she gets hurt, I'll beat you to a pulp when we get home!"
Ji Qingbao: "...Big brother, do you still remember that I was your weak little brother?"
Ji Qingying narrowed her eyes, radiating a piercing gaze that startled Ji Qingbao, who immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "I know, I know! Anyone who touches Sister Qingyu, I'll bite them to death!"
Ji Qingying: "...Hurry back to the manor."
Then he strode off in the direction Fu Hua had indicated.
Fuqin looked at the painting on the ground, but ultimately did not help it up. Ever since she was used by the other party last time, she knew that the other party had ill intentions.
She couldn't let Qingyu down.
Thinking of this, Fuqin looked at Ji Qingbao and said, "Young Master, let's go back quickly."
Ji Qingbao nodded quickly, and the maid beside him pulled Fuhua up. The group of them then drove the carriage back to the mansion.
When Qingyu woke up, she had already arrived at the gate of the mansion.
Qingyu: “…”
Ji Qingying!
Qingyu gritted her teeth, wishing she could hit someone. She was a vicious female supporting character, a troublemaker, and now she hadn't done anything, wasting a good opportunity to make her point, and hadn't even seen the excitement!
However, upon lifting the curtain, Qingyu raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Fuqin, where are they?"
"Miss, you're awake? The eldest young master went to rescue the second young lady, thankfully we're back quickly."
Qingyu's eyes lit up. "Ji Qingwei was captured by men in black?" Her tone was slightly excited.
Fuqin nodded blankly, and then Qingyu smiled with her eyes crinkling, like a little fox who had just stolen some cream, both cute and cunning, inexplicably captivating.
Qingyu's lips curled up, and a smug gleam shone in her eyes like tiny stars.
Sure enough, she's the one who drives the plot forward. It looks like the female lead is going to look stunning today. After all, Gu Ye is quite good-looking, so their relationship should progress a lot, right?
Qingyu waved her hand lazily. Now that she knew everything was normal, she wasn't in a hurry at all. "Let's go back to the manor!"
"Yes!"
