His Silly Little Sister

On the second floor of the restaurant.

Jun Jingyi had hurried all the way there, travel-worn and dusty.

Now he stood stiffly, an awkward look on his face, not daring to look at the girl before him, whose face was full of resentment.

The Yunying Poetry Gathering.

He had promised her in person that he wouldn't run away halfway through, but he had still...

That was why he had been avoiding her, deliberately or otherwise, for the past few days.

As a result, whenever she went looking for him in his courtyard, he was never there.

But this time she had actually found her way to the restaurant and lain in wait for him here, so...

At the thought, Jun Jingyi prepared to flee once more.

But before he could move,

Jun Yixue, standing in front of him, lifted the corners of her mouth slightly and said calmly, "Go on, leave. I've already written a letter and am ready to send it to the capital anyway."

"Ah, well..."

Jun Jingyi lowered his head and looked at his little sister with a pitiful expression.

"Hmph, that's what you get for breaking your word!"

Jun Yixue folded her arms across her chest, snorted, and turned on her heel, striding back to the room on the second floor.

Jun Jingyi let out a soft sigh and obediently followed.

He entered the room, poured himself a cup of water, and sat down directly across from Jun Yixue. Looking as if he had nothing left to live for, he took a small sip and said, "Go on, what do you want?"

"You're not allowed to go looking for that Bai Ruoli again!"

Jun Yixue raised her voice a little, speaking with some anger.

"Uh..."

Jun Jingyi blinked in surprise.

Seeing that, Jun Yixue gave a helpless sigh. She took his arm and shook it, saying in a cajoling voice, "Brother, you don't know. That woman, she... shortly after she was born, she brought about her mother's death with her curse."

"Even the whole Bai Residence has suffered one stroke of bad luck after another because of her. If the steward of the Bai Residence hadn't invited a master to suppress the ill omen on her before... you'd be dragged down by her too!"

As she spoke, Jun Yixue looked at Jun Jingyi with a pitiful expression and worry in her eyes.

Before this, she hadn't taken the rumors that her brother had a connection with Bai Ruoli seriously.

Because she knew very well how proud her brother was.

But today...

"Hm? Cursed her to death? Ill omen? A master..."

Jun Jingyi was speechless. What did any of this have to do with anything?

Especially when he saw that his sister, right in front of him, actually believed it without a doubt, he shook his head helplessly. This damned feudal dynasty.

He didn't know whether ghosts and gods existed in this world.

After all, transmigration was a rather bizarre thing.

But the female lead was a jinx...

Was there a rumor more absurd than this?

She was a child of fortune, someone with a protagonist's halo.

But this rumor...

Jun Jingyi shook his head and sighed softly.

The Bai Residence...

There really was no shortage of schemes there. It was no wonder a female lead could emerge from a place like that.

"Brother..."

Seeing that Jun Jingyi didn't seem to care much, Jun Yixue shook his arm coquettishly and called out in a pitiful voice.

"All right, all right, I know!"

Jun Jingyi helplessly patted her little head.

There were some things he couldn't explain.

"Hmph, you hit me again! You're making me stupid!"

Jun Yixue wrinkled her nose and cried, her voice full of amusement.

"It's all right. You weren't smart to begin with."

Jun Jingyi chuckled.

"You're bullying me! I'm going to write to Father..."

Jun Yixue froze, then immediately cried out in grievance. She walked over to the writing implements nearby but didn't touch them, secretly glancing at Jun Jingyi, who remained seated without the slightest intention of getting up.

She snorted, pursed her lips, and walked back without another word.

Jun Jingyi shook his head helplessly.

Then he remembered something and asked nervously, "Xiaoxue, you haven't been bullying anyone lately, have you?"

"You mean Bai Ruoli, don't you..."

Jun Yixue pursed her lips and snapped crossly, "No. It wasn't anything serious to begin with. I just couldn't stand the way she bullied her younger sister and wanted to stand up for that silly girl. Since you said so, Brother, I don't want to get involved anymore."

"Bullied her younger sister?"

Jun Jingyi frowned inwardly, looking helplessly at Jun Yixue, who looked furious and rather cute.

Just as he had thought.

After all this time since he transmigrated, he hadn't felt that this girl was bad at heart.

It turned out she had been foolish enough to let someone use her as a spear.

In the end, she had even met with the destruction of her family and the loss of her life because of it. Really...

At the thought, Jun Jingyi's gaze grew distant.

"Bai Ruoli's younger sister?"

"The biological daughter of the current mistress of the Bai family, the second young lady of the Bai family, Bai Ruoxin!"

"So she was the real culprit."

Shaking his head, Jun Jingyi slowly closed his eyes.

"Bai Ruoxin, you're courting death yourself!"

For the survival of the Jun family and to keep himself alive, this person had to be dealt with. She was too dangerous.

Otherwise, if he let her be, and it wasn't convenient to explain everything to his silly sister, something would happen sooner or later.

But now wasn't the time to think about that.

He had also come to the restaurant this time on important business.

"I heard the restaurant has run into some trouble recently?"

Jun Jingyi asked, looking at his sister.

"Hmph, and you have the nerve to bring it up. You've been hiding at home ever since you ran away from the Yunying Poetry Gathering... You don't even know what's happened at the restaurant you opened."

"But don't worry, it's nothing serious. Just some ruffians causing trouble. I had the household guards watch the entrance and keep them from making trouble!"

Jun Yixue waved a hand dismissively.

But Jun Jingyi frowned deeply.

His instinct for survival made him cautious, so he sensed many inconsistencies in this small matter.

Ruffians?

That meant those jobless street loafers and petty thugs.

But buying the restaurant had caused such a stir at the time. Who in all of Tianfu City didn't know the restaurant belonged to him, to the Jun family?

Under those circumstances, they still dared to come and make trouble?
