At this time, Chu Ci's excuses were useless. She had not expected that her notorious reputation had already spread to the point where even a foreigner like Lian Jianji knew about it. She could only stiffen her scalp and nod in acknowledgement of her identity, then cupped her hands and apologized to King Jiu before thickening her skin and taking her leave.

  Jian Yu looked at Chu Ci who was walking away with a puzzled expression, then turned her head back to Jian Ji with a bewildered look: "Little Ji, how do you... know the Crown Princess?"

  "Oh, this..." Jian Ji was still in a daze and reacted somewhat slowly, "It's just that the Crown Prince's consort just saved my life..."

  "What? Xiaoji, what's wrong with you?"

  "Uh, never mind this for now. You get away from this guy first, sis, I'll go chase after the crown princess!"

  Jian Ji finally remembered what he had to do, and hastily instructed Jian Ruyan not to get too close to Di Jiu before rushing out in a hurry.

  At that time, Chu Ci's face turned red and white as he ran out of the Drunken Music House, and he couldn't even imagine himself doing such a stupid thing...

  It's so embarrassing, it's really humiliating.

  Moreover... she also indiscriminately scolded Ji Wang, and if Ji Wang were to report this to the Crown Prince, what would she do then?

  Chu Ci sat under a tree outside the Drunken Music House, entangled in her thoughts. Amidst her worries, she didn't forget to sneak out the package of pressed sugar candies she had bought not long ago, stuffing them into her mouth as she continued to fret.

  "I believe you're a good person."

  A cold voice suddenly emerged from behind, Chu Ci was also caught off guard and turned his head back with a scowl, looking like he didn't want to be a good person at all: "Are you done yet?!"

  Jian Ji: "Your frowning face is really cute."

  "....then you must be blind."

  Jian Ji's gaze slowly fell on the packet of sugar in her hand.

  "...Chu Ci really didn't want to be bothered with this guy anymore, so she simply handed over the packet of sugar in her hand to him."

  Jian Ji got the bag of sugar and said sincerely: "I knew you were a good person."

  "Is giving you candy considered being a good person?"

  Jian Ji nodded, eating sugar while lecturing her: "If you were as vicious as the rumors say, you wouldn't have helped me retrieve my money pouch from the thief."

  "You don't have to believe it, but where there's smoke, there's fire. If others say so, I must be the kind of person they say I am." Chu Ci really wished for the first time that someone would think she was the kind of person rumored about.

  However, Jian Ji was also a very persistent child, eating the sugar of Chu Ci and speaking human words: "No, I say you are a good person, you are a good person, it's just that I came to sincerely advise you... That prince must not be a good thing if he made your reputation so stinky."

  "......" Chu Ci: "In the distant sky, the sun and moon are shining bright; The wind is blowing gently, with a soft and mournful sigh."

  She really didn't want to say it, but her bad reputation was truly made by herself in the past two years! And she had a ball-like relationship with the Crown Prince!

  Chu Ci stood up, and Jian Ji also followed suit. "I'm telling you the truth, from a friend's perspective, if you don't..."

  Chu Ci still didn't know how she became friends with Jian Ji, but she calmed down and turned back to interrupt him: "Why don't you go find your sister?"

  "Uh...this..." Jian Ji seemed a bit hesitant, as his sister was important on one hand, but Chu Ci also seemed quite important on the other.
