Chapter 51: Did I Hurt You?The light in the shopkeeper’s eyes dilint “What nonsense are you spouting? I’ This brat was the one who broke rip on Wei Yi
The pain caused Wei Yi to furrow his brow as he darted a pitiful look to Ji Yunshu
Ji Yunshu’s gaze displayed calhtly raised the two broken halves of jade before stating, “You said that this pendant was broken just now, but it was clearly lying through one’s teeth Regardless of whether it is jade or any other type of precious stone, if it was broken recently, the edges should be uneven and sharp which would be painful when stroking the broken edges However the edges on this jade are very slossy It is clear that time had blunt the sharpness of it”
The moment these words were spoken, the shopkeeper was clearly at a loss for words and the panic on his face was hard to le“This is high quality jade Even if it was broken, the edge would be very smooth, which is quite normal”
‘Nor up your story’
Ji Yunshu’s gaze landed on the arrogant shopkeeper’s hand as she continued to speak, “Shopkeeper, if I guessed correctly, you ate stearease on your hand”
Uh! The shopkeeper’s face was filled with surprise as he looked at his hand After which he started fiercely wiping the steamed buns a crime?”
“Of course not” Ji Yunshu advanced a step “However, because there was grease on your hand, it had stained the pendant, which in turn rubbed off on my hand”
As she spoke so, Ji Yunshu suddenly lifted Wei Yi’s hand and spread out his fingers so his whole hand was displayed for everyone to see
She explained, “If this pendant was broken by this fool, then his hand would be greasy fro it However it just so happens that there is not a single trace of grease on his hand This proves that he never touched the pendant The pendant was clearly broken by you Seeing that he was a fool, you decided to take advantage of this fact and cheat him”
“I… You…”
“If you still do not admit it, then we can report it to the authorities and let the uilty conscience, the shopkeeper released Wei Yi and wiped his hands before shoving them inside his sleeves!
Meanwhile, the onlookers started pointing at hist theaze wandered His voice treet about it! N-nothing happened at all!”
‘Forget about it? That won’t do!’
Ji Yunshu turned to face Wei Yi He was holding his arm with a pained face It was probably from when the shopkeeper hit hi force too!
Her good-looking eyebrows lifted as she asked, “Wei Yi, when he said you broke his pendant, did you feel angry?”
Wei Yi pouted as he looked at the shopkeeper before nodding his head
“Then when he hit you, was it painful?”
Wei Yi nodded once again!
“Okay Stretch out your hand”
He obediently reached out his hand!
“Clench your fist”
He clenched his fist
“Punch his arm” Ji Yunshu ordered
Like a turtle, Wei Yi withdrew his hand at once and retreated behind Ji Yunshu while shaking his head Seeing hih, but she maintained her serious expression
“Why don’t you hit hi taller than Ji Yunshu by a head, he still hid behind her He tentatively placed his hands on her shoulders like a cat would do He stuttered, “But that’s not right Mother said that I can’t hit people Even though he scolded and hit me, I can’t scold or hit him back otherwise mother will be unhappy and whenbrother, I won’t hit hilance at hi his eyes lowered It made him look very pitiful
Ji Yunshu didn’t force hi back to face the dishonest shopkeeper “Listen up, if you dare to cheat people again I’ to have to ‘invite’ you over to the ya time”
