The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space Chapter 2389: Bai Family’s Young Lady (1)

"Refusing to divulge information, or incapable of speaking?" Qi Jingyi inquired with a smile. "In that case, someone, proceed to the Beijing Public Security Bureau Governor’s Office and lodge a report. State that a disturbance is occurring at the entrance of Madam Ruyi’s shop..."

"Your Highness, you cannot do this! We were not causing trouble for Madam Ruyi," Wei Zhuangshi quickly interjected, waving her hands. "We are seeking a member of the Wei Family; this is a family affair. Even as a prince, you have no right to interfere."

"I have already severed all ties with the Wei Family," Wei Bingcen stated. He had been observing from the sidelines, refraining from intervening while the women were in a dispute, but now felt compelled to speak. "Formal documentation exists for this, and it is registered with the Governor’s Office. I, Wei Bingcen, am no longer listed on the Wei Family’s genealogy, rendering us entirely separate households."

"Then..." Wei Yangshi began to back away. "Then we shall not argue any further. We will never argue again." With those words, she turned and pushed her way through the dispersing crowd, fleeing the scene.

Witnessing his daughter-in-law’s hasty retreat, the elder Wei Zhuangshi hurried to follow, also making a swift departure.

Qi Jingyi turned his gaze towards Weng Ming.

Weng Ming promptly followed suit. Understanding the situation concerning Wei Shicheng’s family was imperative; otherwise, future daily disturbances would undoubtedly prove disastrous.

Wei Bingcen’s family collectively exhaled a sigh of relief.

The onlookers, who had gathered to witness the commotion, began to disperse, gradually clearing the thoroughfare.

"Was Eighth Brother playing the role of a hero saving a damsel in distress?" Qi Jingrong whispered teasingly from behind. "However, I must caution you, Wei Yao’s standing might not be sufficiently high to become the Yi Princess Consort."

"Haha," Qi Jingyi turned back, a smile gracing his lips. "Miss Bai is certainly a fitting candidate for the Rong Princess Consort."

"You..." Qi Jingrong’s face contorted as if he had ingested something unpleasant. "Must you bring that up?"

"If you cease your nonsensical chatter, I shall naturally cease mentioning it," Qi Jingyi replied, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Just as Qi Jingrong was about to retort, Wei Bingcen approached. "Thank you, Your Highness, for your timely assistance. Please, come inside for a cup of tea." This was, of course, a mere gesture of courtesy.

"There is no need for tea," Qi Jingyi declined, shaking his head. "We..."

"Brother Rong!" At that precise moment, several individuals approached from a distance. One among them darted directly towards Qi Jingrong. "Brother Rong, I have finally found you...!"

Qi Jingrong started, casting a disgruntled glare at Qi Jingyi. "You truly have a crow’s mouth." He then turned and swiftly departed.

The individuals trailing behind pursued him. "Brother Rong, wait for Xingxing!"

Qi Jingyi blinked. "Say, Old Ten, what about dinner tonight?"

Qi Jingrong was entirely unconcerned with Qi Jingyi’s dinner plans at that moment! He vanished as quickly as a wisp of smoke.

"Who was that person?" Wei Yao inquired, her curiosity piqued. "Why did Lord Rong react as if he had seen a specter? Fleeing faster than a rabbit."

Wei Yao had encountered Qi Jingyi on several occasions following their initial encounter, primarily due to Yang Ruxin’s establishment, which these individuals felt obliged to support. Initially, she had maintained a degree of reserve, but she soon realized that this prince possessed a rather relaxed demeanor, even appearing somewhat eccentric, as Yang Ruxin had described him. Consequently, she ceased to regard him purely as a prince, and their subsequent meetings were quite informal.

"A young lady from the Bai Family," Qi Jingyi responded with a touch of mischief. "She was proposed as a bride by Consort Jin, and the Emperor gave his assent as well. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she is slated to become the Rong Princess Consort."

"I found that young lady to be quite lovely. Why, then, is he running away?" Wei Yao mused, smacking her lips. "Moreover, the Bai Family of Anding is also a distinguished lineage, and her ascension to the position of princess consort would hardly bring disgrace upon the Imperial Family."

"He simply does not fancy her," Qi Jingyi admitted with a sigh.
