Jing Xingzhi’s Daily Life in Ancient Times

“Hey! —”

The horses neighed, and the falling sound echoed across the bridge.

The people walking outside looked up, and the people in the carriage also opened the curtains and stuck their heads out.

Jing Xingzhi dropped the paper horse in his hand and opened the curtain to take a look outside.

Judging from the noise, there was only one carriage down and the innocent driver was thrown out.

But he couldn’t take too much of a look at the fruits of his hard work, right?

Jing Xingzhi, who had opened the curtain, saw the water splashing up, reflecting the colorful light in the sunlight, which was very beautiful.

It was a pity that the boatman from that Marquis Zhenyuan’s Mansion was not here, so he couldn’t appreciate this beautiful scenery.

Oh, Jing Xingzhi remembered, that man was still in jail. ‘Don’t blame him, don’t blame him.’

After the horse neighed several times, it finally subdued due to pain, and the screams of people could be heard.

The two maidservants screamed and hurriedly got out of the carriage.

The driver ran to the guardrail and looked at the sinking carriage with a mournful face.

Seeing the two struggling maids, the driver reminded them: “Madam! Madam is still inside!”

When the two maidservants heard the sound, they could only look at each other and get back into the carriage again.

Unfortunately, the horse disliked the weight of the carriage behind it and broke free from the reins, screaming in pain and running away.

As soon as the horse left, the carriage groaned and sank faster!

The two maidservants were also very strong, and they managed to pull Wu Shuangxi out barely, the other’s legs were still stuck in the carriage.

Wu Shuangxi raised her head and spat out a mouthful of water, but her eyes were tightly closed.

She had long lost her hair accessories, and her hair was as messy as a water ghost. She didn’t know where she was injured in the water, which caused a strange red color to emerge from the river.

The moment Wu Shuangxi was fished out, the people surrounding the bridge guardrail were so nervous that they stopped breathing. But the next moment, something even scarier came again!

The two maidservants were floating in the water and had no strength left. They had no choice but to let Wu Shuangxi slide down a little bit.

With the naked eye, it could be seen that the two maidservants had lost their strength.

Someone shouted loudly on the bridge: “Hang on, let’s help!”

One of the maids wanted to scold them after hearing this, hang on? How to hang on?

There was no place to rely on in the water. People were leading others. Could they hold on while continuously paddling???

Anyway, she was dying. This martial maid knew if she didn’t let her Madam go, she would sink together. She felt selfish and knew her life was in danger, so she had to be cruel.

The other maid felt her strength suddenly became weaker, and she immediately let go.

Many people got off the carriage and looked nervously at the guardrail of the bridge.

Jing Xingzhi didn’t get out of the car; he knew in his heart that the outcome would depend on fate.

He didn’t want to directly involve people’s lives, but he was really not sure whether Wu Shuangxi would die or not if she fell into the water. What if the other person’s luck was really bad?

Speaking of which, rivers and lakes were really dangerous. Two unlucky guys fell into the water last time.

Not to mention those two maids, choosing to let Wu Shuangxi fall into the water this time was Jing Xingzhi’s first return of her “valuation”.

——He still remembered the boat that wanted to take him and Xiao Fangfang into the sea.

If Wu Shuangxi was lucky, then there was still more to come, and he could take the time paying it all back slowly.

“You want my life, so I won’t make it easy for you.”

“If I let you live, you might still seek my life. So, I’d rather die as a fellow Taoist than as a destitute Taoist. Sooner or later, I’ll send you to the Naihe Bridge and I’ll provide you with a comprehensive brainwashing service from hell and free reincarnation—all at no charge. Serving with a clear conscience is all I always do*.”

Jing Xingzhi sighed over his loss-making business and packed up the items in his carriage, erasing all traces of his practice.

Not long after Jing Xingzhi put away his things, Zhang Tong struggled to hold Li Jiafu and brought him to Jing Xingzhi.

Zhang Tong set Li Jiafu down and begged for mercy: “Your Highness, please stay here. You really shouldn’t go to the bridge. You’re young; what will happen if you fall?”

After saying that, Zhang Tong smiled at Jing Xingzhi. “Young Master Jing, could you please look after His Highness? I’ll assist His Majesty in checking on Madam Wu of the Marquis Mansion.”

“Of course, Master Zhang. Please go ahead.”

Though Zhang Tong glanced at Jing Xingzhi’s table twice, Jing Xingzhi still smiled naturally at him.

Whether it was Zhang Tong or someone else, his senior brother would definitely send someone to check on him.

Something had happened to Wu Shuangxi, and Jing Xingzhi would be the suspicious culprit.

Moreover, just yesterday, Wu Shuangxi had offended Jing Xingzhi to the point of anger. Jing Xingzhi had repeatedly claimed that Wu Shuangxi was trying to deal with him, and even if Li Yunxi didn’t suspect him, the emperor’s reputation for being suspicious of everyone was always there.

But Jing Xingzhi’s methods were very inhuman, and whether or not Li Yunxi suspected him, there was no evidence to be found!

Also, Jing Xingzhi was Li Yunxi’s junior brother. At this point, even if Li Yunxi was a little suspicious, he couldn’t look through things secretly.

And once this period of time had passed, who would still remember Wu Shuangxi?

Zhang Tong smiled and nodded, lowered the curtain of Jing Xingzhi’s carriage, and turned toward the bridge.

After a few steps, Zhang Tong looked back and saw that Jing Xingzhi’s curtain was tightly closed, showing no intention of opening it at all.

Of course, Jing Xingzhi would not go to see Zhang Tong again; that would make him look guilty.

He grabbed Li Jiafu’s arm in the carriage, pulled the child from the curtain to his side, and asked him, “Why don’t you just stay here? You’re not allowed to go to the bridge.”

“Bang—” Li Jiafu opened his hands wide and raised them high, then puffed up his cheeks and made a popping sound.

He was imitating the sound of the carriage crashing into the water and the water splashing down.

Jing Xingzhi smiled. “That’s quite accurate.”

Li Jiafu also laughed when he heard the compliment. Then, he realized what had happened to him, stopped laughing, and angrily accused Zhang Tong, who had stopped him halfway. “Zhang, Zhang won’t let me go to the bridge. I’m obedient and won’t go. He has to, he has to hug me!”

Jing Xingzhi interpreted, “You want to go, but Master Zhang won’t let you. Even if you obey him, he still doesn’t believe you and has to carry you over here, right?”

“Yes!” Li Jiafu nodded vigorously, his clear eyes shining brightly, his heart filled with joy.

Junior Uncle was awesome! He understood all his words.
