The rouge shop!

It must be said, Ji Muqing had quite good taste.

This rouge shop was very famous in the capital, and many young ladies from wealthy families would come here to shop.

Of course, the items inside were naturally ridiculously expensive.

Anyone who stepped through this threshold was either rich or noble.

Poor commoners could only stand outside and look for a moment or two.

Ji Muqing’s dress was already somewhat peculiar, her clothing extremely ostentatious but very expensive, with her dress fully embedded with pearls piled together.

As soon as she stepped inside, the young ladies in the shop cast strange looks at her.

They all whispered among themselves.

Their eyes carried disdain and contempt.

“Which family’s young lady is this?”

“Look at what she’s wearing! Such poor taste!”

“…”

Fortunately, Ji Muqing didn’t hear them, otherwise, how could that be tolerated?

She would have to overturn this place!

Just after Ji Muqing entered, Ji Wanxin followed.

Compared to that peculiar Ji Muqing, she appeared much more elegant and refined, a complete beauty!

Especially that red mole on her forehead, like a red gem embedded in the center of her brows.

Such a beauty could hardly be found a second time in the capital.

Avoiding these strange looks, Ji Muqing wandered around the shop like a tourist.

“I want this one!”

She pointed at a box of exquisite rouge.

Lifting her chin very high!

A proud appearance of looking at people through her nostrils.

The female shopkeeper, seeing her dress embedded with jewels, knew she was wealthy.

She smiled and took the box, saying: “Yes, Miss, I’ll wrap it up for you right away.”

“Wait!”

Someone called out.

Looking sideways, she saw a woman walk over, glaring angrily at the shopkeeper.

“I just saw this box of rouge earlier. How can you sell it to someone else?”

The woman was full of momentum.

The shopkeeper choked, not knowing what to say.

Ji Muqing snorted, her phoenix eyes glancing at the woman: “If you saw it early on, why didn’t you wrap it up? Instead, you’re saying this now? Does seeing it mean it’s yours?”

Not yielding in the slightest!

That woman wasn’t one to back down either. Raising her slender eyebrows, she said: “Where are you from? Reeking of money, don’t you know about first come, first served? I said I saw it, so it’s mine.”

“Who are you saying reeks of money?”

“I’m talking about you!”

Ji Muqing’s face turned livid with anger. She snorted: “Do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like this?”

The woman sneered coldly: “I don’t care who you are. Why don’t you go ask around about who I am?”

“You ignorant thing, wait until I become the Crown Prin—”

Before she could finish, Ji Wanxin stepped forward to stop her, whispering in her ear: “Elder Sister, forget it. If word gets out, it won’t be good. You need to think about your status.”

With this reminder, Ji Muqing immediately stopped.

She was the legitimate daughter of the Ji family!

The sister of Ministry of War Director Ji Li and General Changlin Ji Huan.

And the Crown Princess designated by the Empress before her death!

She absolutely couldn’t cause trouble at this critical juncture.

Taking a deep breath, she revealed an elegant smile. Looking at the box of rouge in the shopkeeper’s hand, she said to that person: “Forget it, this rouge isn’t that great anyway. I don’t want it. You can have it.”

How magnanimous!

The woman wore an expression of “I won,” and promptly took the rouge from the shopkeeper’s hand, muttering: “In a few days, the Crown Prince will be selecting consorts. I heard the Crown Prince really likes the scent of this rouge.”

What?

So this woman was also going to the consort selection?

Ji Muqing bristled like an angry cat. She spun around and snatched the rouge from the woman’s hand.

Aggressively, she said: “I’d rather throw this rouge away than give it to you.”

Having spoken!

She opened the rouge box, flipped it over, and all the loose rouge powder spilled onto the ground.

With a gust of wind, it scattered completely!

“You…”

The woman was furious, pointing at Ji Muqing, choking so much she couldn’t speak a word.

“You what? Looking like that, you still want to be selected as a consort? You don’t even have the qualifications to wash the Crown Prince’s feet if you looked in a mirror!”

Whoosh—

Everyone around was shocked!

Where did this young lady come from? So arrogant.

This woman had never suffered such humiliation in her entire life.

She immediately became enraged, her eyes red, stamping her feet repeatedly. She raised her hand and clawed at Ji Muqing.

The two became entangled!

When women fight, it’s nothing more than pulling hair and grabbing clothes.

“Elder Sister!” Ji Wanxin wanted to step forward to mediate, but couldn’t find an opening to pull them apart.

The shop naturally became lively, and people crowded around outside.

Some watching the excitement, some discussing, pointing and commenting—everything.

And on the way back to Yuhua Pavilion, they happened to pass by here.

Wei Yi, seeing the place surrounded by people, tugged at Ji Yunshu’s sleeve, saying: “Shu’er, let’s go take a look.”

“Let’s not!”

“Come on, just a quick look and we’ll leave.”

Her slender body naturally couldn’t resist Wei Yi’s great strength, so she could only be dragged over by him.

Pushing through the crowd, they saw this ridiculous scene.

Ji Muqing and that woman were brawling together, hair disheveled, red hairpins and silver ornaments falling scattered, being trampled on.

Where was even half a trace of a refined young lady’s demeanor!

To the side stood Ji Wanxin, anxious but helpless.

When Ji Yunshu saw this scene, she was immediately dumbfounded.

First, she was surprised that Ji Muqing and Ji Wanxin had already arrived in the capital.

Second, she was surprised that Ji Muqing was actually… fighting in public!

Oh my, Ji Yunshu reached into her sleeve and felt around.

Where’s my phone?

Where’s my phone?

Quick, quick, quick, I need to post on Weibo!

Then she immediately realized—this was ancient times where they used candles for light!

But the next moment, reason jolted her awake. She grabbed Wei Yi and said: “Let’s go.”

But Wei Yi said: “Shu’er, it’s the two elder sisters.”

With an excited tone.

Child, have you forgotten that Ji Muqing also bullied you before?

Ji Yunshu completely ignored his words. Holding his hand, she left the crowd.

But just as the two emerged from the crowd,

They heard—

“Someone died!”

The crowd began to stir. Everyone covered their mouths and retreated backward repeatedly.

Someone died?

Could it be that Ji Muqing died?

Ji Yunshu’s footsteps paused. She turned to look back, and just as the crowd parted to both sides, she saw at a glance a woman lying on the ground with wide-open eyes.

Clothes disheveled, hair scattered, lying supine on the ground.

A silver hairpin had pierced straight through from the back of her head to her forehead.

The dead person was none other than the woman who had just been fighting with Ji Muqing.

Ji Muqing was also stunned, her face pale with fright.

Standing to the side, her body trembling.

Her pale lips repeatedly muttering: “It wasn’t me! It wasn’t me! I didn’t push her, it wasn’t me…”
