Ji Yunshu stayed up all night reading an old-fashioned, melodramatic, angsty novel. When she woke up, she found herself transmigrated into the book as the male lead's wicked original wife.
<...Chapter 169 I Don't Want Him Anymore
Xiao Yue shrank her neck and said, "My brother said that Prince Zhao has been very scary these days. You must have provoked him."
Seeing her adorable appearance, Ji Yunshu didn't tell her about the messy things between them. Instead, he pinched her little face and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to find someone to get engaged? Why didn't I hear anything?"
Xiao Yue slapped her hand away, rubbing her face and saying with some resentment, "Don't mention it. The few families my mother favored all had one problem or another. The most outrageous one slipped and broke his leg on the way to see me. Do you think I'm destined to have a bad marriage?"
Ji Yunshu's eyes flickered when he heard this: "You haven't seen any of them?"
Xiao Yue said, "Isn't it? If this continues, no one will dare to see me. My mother is afraid that people will say that I have a hard fate and will bring bad luck to those people, so she has been quiet these days."
Ji Yunshu asked, "Did your brother say anything?"
Xiao Yue puffed up her cheeks and said, "He's the most annoying one. He said I'm still young and there's no need to rush into marriage. It's as if I'm really eager to get married. Isn't it that if I get married early, it will save my family some worries?"
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "You are just adding an extra pair of chopsticks to your family's home. It won't cause any trouble for them."
Xiao Yue lowered her head and whispered, "Actually, I know that his story is not simple, and those who met me are not accidental."
At this point, her voice choked a little: "What on earth does he want to do?"
Ji Yunshu rubbed her head and said, "I guess you've also heard that Lu Ningshuang is engaged. There really shouldn't be anything going on between them."
Xiao Yue shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with Lu Ningshuang. So much time has passed, and he has the time to mess up my blind date but not the time to come and explain to me? It's obvious that he doesn't care about me, so I don't want him anymore."
Ji Yunshu was about to speak when she suddenly glanced somewhere and said with a smile, "If you are really determined to get married, I have a suitable candidate. You can consider it."
Xiao Yue quickly asked, "Who?"
Ji Yunshu said, "You've met my brother. He's a perfect match for you. He's as handsome as Lan Ting, and he's also skilled in martial arts. Our family is simple and peaceful. The only problem is that he doesn't come back to the capital often. But you can go to the north to accompany him. The sky is high and the clouds are vast in the north, and even the wind is free. Once you go there, you won't be bound by the rules of the capital anymore."
The more Ji Yunshu talked, the more he felt that he had made a mistake. Why did he think so much in the first place? He should have used the leverage over Zhao Heng to cancel the engagement and then followed his father and brother to the north.
No one knew her there, so she could do whatever she wanted. There were so many handsome men under her father's command that she could pick any one she wanted. If she found one that suited her, she could marry him; otherwise, she could just live on her own.
Let all those people in the capital who are scheming against each other die.
Xiao Yue's eyes sparkled as she listened. She had seen Ji Yunshu's brother before. As she said, he had been a child from another family since he was young. When other dandies of the same age in the capital were still playing chicken and dog fighting, he was already a young general famous in the north.
There is nothing wrong with it, and it is even better not to have to stay in the capital.
She wants to go to the north and feel the wind of freedom now.
"But Prince Ji is not in the capital right now. When will he come back? And who will decide his marriage? Will he like me?"
Ji Yunshu saw that she was excited and nervous, and seemed to be really satisfied with her brother.
Smiling, she said, "I will definitely be back during the Chinese New Year. It's already the twelfth lunar month, so it won't be long. If you really want to, go back and discuss it with your family. If they have no objection, have the Princess of the County tell the Queen Mother that she has been thinking about my brother's marriage, and I guarantee that it will be done as soon as I say it."
Although Xiao Yue was spoiled by her family and became a little naive, she was able to make clear decisions and let go at critical moments, which was better than most girls.
The daughter of an idle royal family, she has a noble status, but her family has no real power, and her status is very suitable for her brother.
Although Ji Yunshu just said it casually on a whim, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this marriage was actually a good idea.
It depends on whether the Prince's Mansion can accept that my brother is a military general.
The two of them left while chatting, and two people came out from not far away.
Zhao Shen looked at the direction where Ji Yunshu left with a deep gaze.
The person next to him gritted his teeth and said, "Your wife's move was really cruel."
The person with Zhao Shen was actually Lan Ting.
Zhao Shen withdrew his gaze and said nonchalantly, "Prince Ji will definitely come back during the New Year. I think this marriage can be successful."
Lan Ting said, "I've been helping you a lot these days, why would you kick me when I'm down like this?"
"I didn't kick someone when they were down."
Zhao Shen said calmly.
Lan Ting felt depressed when he saw him looking so lifeless. "What happened to you these days? Did you have a fight with your wife?"
Zhao Shen didn't bother to pay attention to him and just walked forward.
Lan Ting chased after him and asked, "Did I guess right? Your wife is so clever. She can guess everything pretty accurately just by knowing a few clues. Look at how many traps she has dug in just a few words with Yue Niang."
Zhao Shen said, "She won't cheat on Xiao Yue. If you really care about her, then find a way to win her back. Otherwise, once the marriage is settled, you can try to snatch her away from Ji Yunlan."
The smile on Lan Ting's face faded. He didn't know how to save the situation, and he didn't even have the courage to see Xiao Yue.
He could feel that what she had just said about not wanting him anymore was true.
With this kind of attitude, what can he use to compete with Ji Yunlan?
After they walked a few steps, they heard the sound of an argument coming from the front.
It turned out that Ji Yunshu and Xiao Yue ran into Lu Ningshuang.
Zhao Shen glanced at Lan Ting, and Lan Ting immediately jumped onto a tree.
Ji Yunshu also felt unlucky before, and when he met Lu Ningshuang, he wanted to say hello and leave.
As Lu Ningshuang passed by her, she whispered in her ear, "Guess who saved me?"
Ji Yunshu slapped him directly: "If you don't want your face, I don't mind tearing it off for you."
This movement attracted many people to look over.
Lu Ningshuang covered her face weakly and said aggrievedly: "Is this how you treat guests?"
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "How can you be considered a guest if you are willing to be so lowly as to be so?"
Seeing people looking at her curiously, she said loudly, "You don't need to tell me if you want to be the prince's concubine. If the prince agrees, not only can I give you my position as a concubine, but I can also give you my position as a concubine."
Lu Ningshuang probably didn't expect Ji Yunshu to dare to tear her apart in public. She felt embarrassed and angry: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Ji Yunshu sneered, "Which of my words is nonsense? You haven't coveted my husband? Have you never harmed me? Isn't it because your heart belongs to the prince that you keep postponing the marriage?"
After hearing what Ji Yunshu said, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Lu Ningshuang.
Some things are not without trace. Ji Yunshu couldn't have said these words for no reason, and Lu Ningshuang had no reason to go up and ask for a fight.
If this matter was made public, not only would Lu Ningshuang lose all face, but Zhao Shen would not be in the clear either.
Lu Ningshuang looked at Ji Yunshu with shame and anger, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.
Bet your reputation with Zhao Shen for a good status.
He couldn't just watch himself being forced to death.
Who knew that just as she was thinking this, she saw Zhao Shen approaching from a distance. Without even glancing at her, he coldly ordered his servants, "Go and ask the Lu family to come over. Tell them that Miss Lu had a sudden hysterical attack and disturbed the guests. Ask them to take her back."
Lu Ningshuang cried out in horror: "No, Zhao Shen, you can't do this to me."
