Xie Shizi's shameless daily life

Wang Yujin was a lady from a wealthy family who never left her house. She was not as strong as those women who were used to farm work. After chasing for two steps, she could no longer run. She stopped panting with a pale face. Looking at the familiar figure, she shouted with all her might, "Thank you, my lord!"

"Thank you, Crown Prince!"

Seeing that the person was about to disappear before his eyes, Wang Yujin struggled to take two steps forward and said, "Brother Jin!"

"Brother Jin" the voice weakened.

"Give me money!" a sturdy voice sounded from behind.

.

Xie Jin rode his horse forward, his eyes filled with complex emotions. After a moment, he gripped the reins tightly with both hands, turned the horse's head hard, and galloped back the way he came.

When he was halfway along the road, he heard the idle chatter of passers-by on the street: "What happened to that girl just now? She was shouting and yelling on the side of the road?"

The person who spoke pointed to his head and said, "Is there something wrong here?"

"Maybe. Didn't you see just now that the boss said she was stealing something?"

Xie Jin didn't finish listening. He squeezed the horse's belly with his legs. The horse under him neighed and sped up suddenly.

The vendor grabbed Wang Yujin's arm tightly and said, "Everyone, come and see, this guy bought something but didn't pay for it. He wants to default on his debt!"

"Please give me some justice. I am just a small businessman who earns a few cents to support my family. Yet, there are still people who want to cheat ordinary people like us. Where is justice? Where is discipline and law?"

The people around pointed at Wang Yujin and whispered to each other.

"Look at her clothes, isn't that stolen?"

"You can't judge a person by his appearance. She looks pretty, but I didn't expect her to be such a filthy and mean person!"

"Could it be that her parents are also thieves?"

The vendor pulled her hand up and said, "Give me money!"

Wang Yujin's eyes were red, and she looked at the people around her helplessly: "I, I don't have any money."

"No money!" the vendor boss yelled, pulling her forward two steps: "If you don't have money, come with me to see the official!"

Wang Yujin struggled with his arm but failed to break free. She shrank back and shook her head at him with tears in her eyes.

She doesn't want to go!

The stall owner glared at her and raised his hand to swing at her, but suddenly, a hand grabbed his wrist. Before he could react, he heard a "click" and his hand bent to the side in a twisted posture.

"Ahhhhh" the stall owner howled in pain.

Xie Jin asked coldly: "What did you want to do with this hand just now?"

The vendor's face was pale with cold sweat pouring down his face: "No, I won't do anything."

Xie Jin increased the strength of his hands, and the man rolled his eyes in pain: "I, I want to teach this girl a lesson."

The "click" sound rang out again, and Xie Jin let go of him expressionlessly.

Without the shackles on his hands, the man fell to the ground instantly, curled up, holding his hands and wailing.

Someone pulled Xie Jin's left sleeve, and he relaxed his expression and turned to look over.

"Are you ok?"

Wang Yujin shook his head at him.

The people around who were a little braver looked at Xie Jin and stammered, "Why, why are you like this?"

Xie Jin ignored the man, grabbed Wang Yujin's wrist and was about to leave.

After taking only two steps, the person behind her stopped and Xie Jin turned to look at her.

Wang Yujin pursed his lips and said with some difficulty: "I bought his things and haven't paid yet."

Just as Xie Jin was about to speak, she heard her say, "When I was buying the hairpin, I saw you riding past on horseback. I didn't have time to think about it, so I chased after you."

Xie Jin paused, then looked at her and asked gently, "How much is the hairpin?"

Wang Yujin: "Five taels of silver."

Xie Jin reached out to take out the money, and when he saw the hand on his sleeve, he said softly, "Let go first, okay?"

Wang Yujin nodded obediently.

Xie Jin took out ten taels of silver from his pocket, squatted down and placed the silver next to the man: "Five taels are for the hairpin, and the other five taels are for seeing the doctor. Someone will take you to the clinic later."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked to Wang Yujin, saying softly, "Let's go."

Wang Yujin glanced at him, said nothing, and silently put his hand back into his sleeve.

Xie Jin looked at the hand on his sleeve without saying anything. The two of them walked out of the crowd one after the other.

The two of them came to the horse's side. Wang Yujin thought Xie Jin was going to get on the horse and take her with him, but after waiting for a long time, she realized that he had no intention of getting on the horse at all. She pursed her lips and stepped on the stirrup to get on the horse.

Xie Jin was holding the reins under the horse and walking slowly.

After a long silence, the man on the horse spoke up: "The day you came back, I went to the city gate to meet you, but I didn't see you until dark."

"I heard later that you went straight to the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion that day."

"I thought that since I missed it once, I would never miss the Spring Festival Banquet held by my aunt again. Who would have thought that my weak body would fall ill on that day."

"I drank the medicine vigorously and didn't dare to step out of the room, hoping that my illness would get better soon. Fortunately, my body finally recovered, but then the news came that you went to Jiangnan."

"I also heard that Zhao Shu also went to Jiangnan this time."

"Just now on the street, I called you, why didn't you stop?"

Xie Jin, who had been silent all this time, finally raised her head: "Yu Jin, I..."

Wang Yujin interrupted him: "Never mind, none of this matters. As long as you come back safe and sound, that's all that matters."

As they were talking, the two arrived at the gate of the palace. Xie Jin tied the reins to a tree, and after the horse stopped, he handed his arm to Wang Yujin.

Wang Yujin simply ignored his arm, stepped on the stirrup and was about to dismount.

Watching her movements, Xie Jin raised his arm and said in a deep voice, "Stop making trouble!"

Wang Yujin pursed his lips, and under Xie Jin's gaze, he finally put his hand on his arm obediently. His steady and strong arms supported the delicate and lovely person, and as soon as Wang Yujin's feet landed on the ground, Xie Jin took his hand back without leaving a trace.

"Remember to see the doctor when you go back. Have a good rest. I'll come back when I'm free." When he said this, a little face with tears in her eyes flashed through Xie Jin's mind.

He swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and changed the subject: "You should have a good rest."

Wang Yujin's eyes darkened instantly, and he forced a smile and said something shocking: "What should I do if I can't see you and miss you?"

"What should I do if I miss you?" Wang Yujin looked at him and repeated slowly.

Xie Jin's eyes suddenly shrank, and he looked at her with a complicated expression. After a while, he said, "Go back."

The courage that Wang Yujin had finally mustered was instantly lost by his light words, "Go back."

Wang Yujin looked at him with a look of embarrassment, shyness, and a strong sense of unwillingness.

But no matter how unwilling she was, she bit her lower lip tightly, and when she was about to cry in front of him, she turned and ran towards the gate of her own mansion.

The slight sobbing sound that passed by entered Xie Jin's ears.

Xie Jin's hand holding the reins relaxed for a moment, but in a moment, he held the reins tightly again, climbed onto the horse, and rode away.

As the old saying goes: Good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles.

The news that Xie Jin had injured the stall owner the day before spread throughout the streets and alleys at lightning speed.

Outside the Golden Palace, civil and military officials were standing in two neat rows.

Someone from the civil servants' row spoke up: "I heard that Military Officer Xie Bu lost his temper for his beloved yesterday and broke a civilian's hand?"

Xie Jin stood upright, said nothing, and completely ignored the man.

Seeing Xie Jin's aloof attitude, the civil servant instantly became angry and wanted to have a good talk with him with trembling lips. But before he could open his mouth, a laugh came from the crowd.

Wang Qizhang snorted and laughed: "Shut up, don't say the grapes are sour."

The civil servant pointed at him with a shaking finger and said, ".!"

"Go to court!" At this time, the eunuch standing outside the Golden Palace suddenly shouted loudly.

The civil servant's voice was instantly drowned out. Although others did not hear what he had just said, they could vaguely make out the three words "you are shameless" from his mouth shape.

The ministers entered the hall one by one and knelt down in front of Emperor Qin: "Long live the emperor!"

"Everyone loves you!"

"Long live thanks!"

After all the officials stood up, the eunuch beside the emperor stepped forward and shouted, "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court!"

"I have something to report!" The civil servant just stood up.

Emperor Qin: "What's the matter?"

The civil official knelt down and said: "I want to report to Xie Jin and Xie Bu's military school!"

Qin Di raised his eyebrows: "Oh, why?"

"Military School Xie Bu is a subject of His Majesty and a parent official of the people. He should abide by the law and love the people. But Military School Xie Bu broke a citizen's hand in the street yesterday."

"Military School Xie Bu's actions yesterday were truly unworthy of His Majesty and the people!"

Emperor Qin looked at Xie Jin: "Is this true?"

Xie Jin stood out from the team and knelt down to Emperor Qin: "I acknowledge my guilt!"

Xie Jin did not make any excuses and admitted it openly.

Emperor Qin: "Why?"

Xie Jin: "It's nothing, I just simply don't like that person!"

Emperor Qin threw the memorial at him: "How dare you!"

"Military Officer Xie Bu disregarded the law and accidentally injured civilians. He will be fined half a month's salary!"

Xie Jin bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Lord!"

The civil servant seemed dissatisfied with the Emperor Qin's decision and stood up again: "Your Majesty, this..."

Emperor Qin glanced at him and asked, "My dear minister, do you have anything else to say?"

The civil servant shuddered and leaned forward and said, "I have nothing to report!"

The other ministers knelt on the ground at the right time: "Your Majesty is wise, long live the emperor!"

Emperor Qin looked at the ministers kneeling in a sea of ​​​​moments, snorted, raised his hand, waved his sleeves, and turned to leave.

The eunuch who was accompanying him saw this and immediately shouted loudly: "Dismiss the court!"

After Emperor Qin left, the court officials kneeling in the hall stood up one after another.

Wang Qizhang was the first to come to Xie Jin and said, "Thank you, nephew. I'm really sorry for Yu Jin's injustice. I will ask Yu Jin to come to thank you another day."

"Forget it, let's not wait until another day, let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow my name will be Yu Jin."

Duke Xian walked up to Xie Jin, looked at him coldly, and interrupted Wang Xianzhang: "Are you not leaving yet?"

Xie Jin bowed to Wang Qizhang and left with Duke Xianguo.
