Chapter 13 Without me, he still won't marry you

They were people close to the lady, and most of them witnessed what happened on the wedding day.

The Crown Prince's wife's behavior of changing husbands in public on her wedding night shocked everyone.

Now everyone knows that the Crown Prince’s wife and the Marquis’ wife have a bad relationship.

After the marriage, except for the first day when he offered tea, he never came to the main courtyard to pay his respects to the lady.

How could such a person suddenly come to visit my wife today and act so concerned?

Even Zhao Fu was a little surprised. She thought it was good enough that Ji Yunshu could come.

I didn't expect that I could visit a patient with such sincerity and care.

So he followed suit and said, "Yeah, why did you suddenly become so sick? What did the doctor say?"

Yao's pale, paper-like face froze for a moment, and she felt very nervous inside.

She had seen everything Ji had said and done in the past few days. If word got out, she would be accused of being disrespectful to her mother-in-law and unfilial to her elders.

Even if Zhao Heng's behavior on the wedding day was a bit absurd, it would not have much impact if Ji Yunshu's reputation was damaged.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Ji Yunshu came to visit her again.

But she was the mistress of a wealthy family after all, so naturally, she could easily save face. Yao said weakly, "I guess I've been tired from all the work these days. I just need a few days of rest. I'd be grateful if you could come and see me."

Ji Yunshu acted like a filial son and grandson. "What are you talking about, mother? As the younger generation, it's not our duty to come and see you. I just got married, and I've been so busy these past few days that I've forgotten the rules. It was only thanks to my eldest sister that I realized you were sick. And it's all thanks to mother's generosity that she didn't make a fuss about it."

She had said so, what else could Yao Shi do? "I am the elder after all, how can I bother with the children?"

That night she felt that Ji Yunshu was not easy to deal with. After all, there were not many girls of noble birth who were willing to sacrifice their reputation.

But seeing Ji Yunshu happily said: "I'm glad that mother doesn't blame me."

She found that she still underestimated this girl who was raised in the palm of the Ji family's hand.

Yao couldn't help but feel regretful, if only she could have married Heng Ge'er peacefully back then.

How could Brother Heng get so angry with me over Yao Ruolan?

Thinking about how Heng Ge'er had been dragging his severely injured body from the family beatings these days, and how he was desperate for Yao Ruolan, she was so angry that she had a heart attack.

This disease came suddenly, it must be caused by anger.

But how could she dare let her son disobey the empress dowager's order and marry Yao Ruolan?

Seeing that Yao was indeed weak and could not hold on, Ji Yunshu and Zhao Fu found an opportunity to leave.

After leaving the main courtyard, Zhao Fu said goodbye to Ji Yunshu and went back.

Ji Yunshu walked back while wondering, was Zhao Fu's behavior a sign of goodwill from the Second House towards him, or was it her own idea?

At this time, someone was walking towards them. Ji Yunshu looked up and saw that it was Yao Ruolan.

This was the first time she had seen the heroine since their wedding night.

Yao Ruolan's complexion was not much better than that of the seriously ill Mrs. Yao. She wore a plain white dress and few jewelry, but she looked as fresh and refined as a lotus flower emerging from the water.

At this moment, Ji Yunshu felt that the description of the heroine's appearance and temperament in the book was not exaggerated.

However, the two of them could claim to be strangers, and without the same pressure of filial piety as Madam Yao, Ji Yunshu felt that there was nothing much to say between him and Yao Ruolan.

So he took a quick glance and walked past.

Unexpectedly, after just a few steps, a voice suddenly came from behind: "You look down on me, don't you?"

Ji Yunshu looked around and found that there was no one else besides himself. He turned around and asked in confusion, "Are you talking to me?"

Yao Ruolan had already stopped and was standing a few steps behind her. When she heard her words, her face looked a little embarrassed.

Ji Yunshu said bluntly, "Miss Yao, do you think your behavior is respectable?"

Yao Ruolan's expression was relatively calm, and she spoke in a light voice, "I have been living and eating with my cousin Heng since I was little. He has always said that he would marry me when he grows up. I have no intention of interfering in your marriage."

Ji Yunshu was very angry at this: "So you want to say that I interfered with your relationship?"

Yao Ruolan said stubbornly: "If he hadn't been engaged to you, he would definitely marry me."

Ji Yunshu sneered: "But he agreed to this marriage himself. I didn't force him. Besides, I'm already married to someone else now. It has nothing to do with him. Why doesn't he marry you?"

Yao Ruolan frowned: "The Empress Dowager's decree..."

Ji Yunshu was too lazy to listen to her and interrupted her directly, "What does it matter? Doesn't he truly love you? Wouldn't he die for you? Why can't he give up his status and run away with you? As long as he's no longer the son of a marquis, does the Queen Mother have the time to care who he marries?"

Yao Ruolan subconsciously retorted, "How can that be? And what about my aunt...what will happen to her if we leave?"

Ji Yunshu spread his hands: "Did you see that? I was never the one who stopped you from being together. Without me, he still wouldn't marry you."

Yao Ruolan was stunned.

Ji Yunshu ignored her and turned away.

After standing there for a long time, Yao Ruolan seemed to have figured something out. She did not go to see Mrs. Yao again, but returned the same way.

Ji Yunshu didn't expect that just a few extra words would cause him such a big trouble.

In the evening, she was discussing what to eat for dinner with Lu Ru when Zhao Heng suddenly rushed in.

Zhao Heng seemed to have lost weight compared to a few days ago, and his movements were not smooth. He looked at Ji Yunshu with a murderous look in his eyes: "What did you do to Ruolan?"

Ji Yunshu was completely confused: "What are you talking about? What do you mean I did something to her? What can I do to her?"

Zhao Heng said viciously, "You vicious woman, why are you pretending to be innocent? After you finished talking to her today, she disappeared. Who would believe her if she said she had nothing to do with you?"

Gone.

When Ji Yunshu heard this, she remembered the plot in the book, so she didn't marry Zhao Heng, but instead let the tragic love story of the male and female protagonists chase each other and escape earlier?

But what does this have to do with her?

She rolled her eyes and said, "What do you mean she disappeared after I finished talking to her? First of all, she wanted to talk to me. Secondly, I came back after I finished talking to her and didn't do anything to her. The servants in the yard can testify to that. What evidence do you have to say that her disappearance has anything to do with me? Can I make people disappear with magic?"

Zhao Heng's emotions finally calmed down a bit, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Ji Yunshu was still filled with hatred: "She left on her own, but why would she leave for no reason? You were jealous of her, so you drove her away, right?"

Ji Yunshu suppressed the urge to curse and sneered, "Why should I be jealous of her? Jealous that she had an affair with someone before marriage and was caught in bed? A girl follows you without any status, being despised and scorned by others, and you call that good?"

Zhao Heng's eyes instantly turned red: "If you hadn't asked the Queen Mother to issue an imperial decree, we could have gotten married."

"Can you blame me? You should blame yourself. Why did you agree to marry me when you already had someone you loved? Why did you marry me? If you had married her from the beginning, would the Queen Mother have had the leisure to issue such an imperial decree?"

Ji Yunshu didn't want to tolerate this kind of person who never looked for the reasons in himself when encountering problems, so he directly confronted him.

"You sweet-talking bitch..."

Zhao Heng couldn't argue with Ji Yunshu, and his face turned grim with anger. He swung his hand and wanted to slap Ji Yunshu.

But just as he raised his hand, his wrist was hit by a flying stone.
