Chapter 194 I Want to Make Her Live a Life Worse Than Death

Ji Yunshu said, "It's almost done. Let's go back."

When I arrived at the place where I bought candied haws before, a young man waiting there immediately ran over.

Zhao Shen stepped forward and blocked Ji Yunshu behind him.

The man quickly said, "I'm here to pay back the money."

As he spoke, he held two copper coins in both hands and handed them to Zhao Shen.

Zhao Shen looked at him puzzledly: "You don't owe me money."

A little girl poked her head out from behind him and said with her head down, embarrassedly: "This is the money you helped me buy candied haws before. Thank you, uncle."

Zhao Shen then remembered that this was the little girl to whom he had just given a string of candied haws.

Seeing that Zhao Shen was obviously not good at handling this kind of thing, Ji Yunshu stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's for the child, sir, there's no need to be so polite."

The young man shook his head. "Children are ignorant. It's not a good idea to let them think they can get things from others without paying any price."

Ji Yunshu didn't take it seriously at first. Life in this world is indeed difficult, but human nature is much simpler than that of later generations.

It is a rule generally followed by people to pay for things they take.

I didn't expect that this man looked young but had such profound thoughts.

She took the two copper coins with a smile: "Sir, you are absolutely right. I am shallow."

The young man had already prepared himself for her to roll her eyes and think that he was tactless, so he was a little surprised to hear her say that.

The man and woman in front of him were obviously of extraordinary status. He knew what the powerful and wealthy were like. It was not uncommon for them to be kind occasionally, but they would not necessarily accept rejection from others.

He lowered his eyes and said, "Madam, you are too kind."

Ji Yunshu was about to say something, but Zhao Shen spoke first, "It's getting late, we should go back."

As he said this, he said goodbye to the young man and left with Ji Yunshu.

After walking quite a distance, Ji Yunshu asked curiously, "Why are you walking so fast? Don't you like that person?"

Zhao Shen slowed down his pace: "Do you like him very much?"

Ji Yunshu then realized that he was jealous and said with a smile: "I don't even know him, so why would I like him? I just think he is very good at teaching children."

Zhao Shen said, "That's all. If you want to waste your time on these trivial things, you might as well find a way to make more money.

Ji Yunshu discovered that Zhao Shen could be childish at times. She sighed, "Life can be very difficult sometimes. Money can't be earned just by wanting it."

Zhao Shen found it very strange that these words came from Ji Yunshu, who had never experienced the hardships of life.

But there were more than one or two strange things happening to Ji Yunshu.

He didn't want to pursue it seriously.

After walking for such a long time, Ji Yunshu felt a little tired and regretted not taking a carriage, because that meant they would have to walk back.

Zhao Shen saw that she was walking weakly, so he smiled and whispered in her ear, "Let me carry you."

Ji Yunshu looked at the people on the street: "This...is not good."

Zhao Shen found that sometimes she was shameless when teasing him, but sometimes she was particularly shy.

"What's the big deal? We are husband and wife, and don't you want to piss that person off to death?"

When Ji Yunshu heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately agreed.

So Zhao Shen carried Ji Yunshu on his back the rest of the way back to the Marquis' Mansion.

As they wished, not far behind them, a pair of eyes stared at Ji Yunshu.

If looks could kill, Ji Yunshu would have been tortured to death.

Unfortunately, she couldn't do that, so even though Lu Ningshuang was furious, she couldn't cause any real harm to Ji Yunshu.

She was accompanied by Furong, the maid she used to serve in the prime minister's residence.

Seeing this, Furong quickly advised: "Miss, don't take it to heart. She won't be so proud for long."

Lu Ningshuang finally came to her senses: "One day, I will make her live a life worse than death."

Furong was relieved to see that she wasn't blinded by anger. "As long as our plan goes smoothly, that day will arrive soon."

Lu Ningshuang thought of Ji Yunshu's disgraced and despised appearance, and she felt a little relieved. "Is everything arranged?"

Furong replied, "Prince Zhao is no mediocre person. He's only been the Jingzhao Yin for a few days, but he's already eliminated quite a few of our people. It's not easy to do anything now. The palace is keeping a tight rein on us, and no one dares to move lightly."

Lu Ningshuang nodded: "There are still a few days before the New Year, so take your time. It's better to be cautious than to let others see any clues. Find something for Zhao Shen to do, and Chen You doesn't have to come out."

Furong said, "We've already sent people there, but the prison is heavily guarded, so our people didn't dare act rashly. I heard that Prince Zhao personally went to the prison to interrogate Chen You today, but I don't know what he said."

Lu Ningshuang sneered: "Don't you know what kind of character Chen You is? How can he withstand Zhao Shen? It's good to know. If the Marquis' Mansion is in chaos, he won't have time to pay attention to other things."

Furong said, "Young lady, you are very clever and will definitely get what you want this time."

Lu Ningshuang said, "I will naturally get what I want. That bitch Ji Yunshu is not worthy of being by his side."

Thinking of Ji Yunshu who had just been carried on Zhao Shen's back, Lu Ningshuang became jealous and crazy.

That bitch is so lucky.

Zhao Shen carried Ji Yunshu all the way to the gate of the mansion, and only put her down at Ji Yunshu's strong request.

The two of them returned to the house together. Ji Yunshu finally felt warmer and went to the charcoal brazier to warm himself by the fire. He said, "It's still more comfortable inside the house."

It’s fun outside, but it’s also really cold.

She was cold even in her fox fur coat.

Zhao Shen also sat next to her and warmed himself by the fire: "Did you have fun today?"

Ji Yunshu nodded: "Thank you for carrying me back."

Zhao Shen smiled and said, "You should eat more. It's too light."

Ji Yunshu glared at him: "You have someone following us, right? Why didn't you find anyone?"

Zhao Shen: "Do you really have to say this now? You're really ruining the mood."

Ji Yunshu looked at him coldly: "I always feel that you are protecting her. Otherwise, with your ability, is it really impossible to catch her?"

She had suspected it a long time ago. Not to mention that Zhao Shen was already the Jingzhao Yin, the entire capital should be under his control. Even if he was not, it should not be difficult to find someone in the capital.

Not to mention that Lu Ningshuang has been very restless these days.

Zhao Shen said: "Someone helped her hide her whereabouts, and she seems to know a lot of things. Look, isn't my mother's death now laid out in front of us?"

Ji Yunshu was silent. Zhao Shen's mother had been dead for too long, and everything was settled.

If it had not been revealed in this way, Zhao Shen would probably never have suspected that there was a hidden secret in his life.

She found herself being quite emotional. She knew clearly that Zhao Shen wanted to clean out all the people from Prince Yong's Mansion in the capital, and he couldn't avoid Lu Ningshuang.

Only if she is alive and continues to take action can we follow the clues to find the real cause.

Zhao Shen was not wrong in considering the overall situation.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

Zhao Shen leaned in front of her and kissed the corner of her lips: "Whatever you say is what I should do. It's my fault. I promised you that I would kill her, but it has been delayed until now and there is no result. I also let her drug you."

Ji Yunshu said bitterly: "I just hate her."

Zhao Shen smiled and said, "I know, because she's thinking about me. I feel sick thinking about it too. Don't worry, it won't take too long."
