Chapter 218: There is finally justice in the world

After a long moment, he trembled and said, "Your Second Aunt was indeed in the delivery room at the time. She even brought you out with a flat nose. Why would she do that?"

He had no doubt that Zhao Shen was lying to him.

As I said, there are some things that are fine if you don’t know them, but once there is a clue, the more you think about it, the more wrong it seems.

Zhao Shen shook his head: "I don't know either. From what Second Aunt said before she died, it seems that the cause is still with my mother.

Even Lord Zhao was stunned. He really couldn't understand what could have happened to Shen that would have caused Qin to take action.

The father and son fell silent.

Ji Yunshu felt that Zhao Fu was still there, and some things were really inappropriate to say, so he could only say: "It's getting late, let big sister go to rest."

Lord Zhao then remembered that they were still in his niece's room.

He and Zhao Shen walked out one after another.

Ji Yunshu pulled Zhao Fu up and said, "Don't think too much. This is your mother's own choice. It has nothing to do with you."

Qin undoubtedly committed suicide by taking poison. She didn't want to face the situation where the truth was revealed, so this was the only way she could go.

Ji Yunshu didn't know what to say. She had done something wrong and paid a heavy price for it.

There are still a lot of mysteries left.

Although Zhao Shen didn't show anything on her face, she knew how upset Qin must have been to watch her commit suicide in front of her without asking any questions.

Zhao Fu was calmer than Ji Yunshu had imagined. "I know what Big Brother said must be true. Even if my mother would rather die than tell it, it wouldn't change the fact that she has spent half her life guarding the Buddhist temple and repenting."

Ji Yunshu comforted her: "It's all over."

Zhao Fu shook her head and said, "It's not going to work. I know my big brother. He will definitely find out the truth about my aunt's murder."

She held back her tears and looked at Ji Yunshu, "Don't worry about me, sister-in-law. I don't think this is a bad thing. Auntie shouldn't die with regrets. All the hidden truths should be revealed to the world. This is the way justice will finally prevail in the world."

Ji Yunshu held Zhao Fu's hand and said, "You are right."

She felt that no matter what Qin did, she had taught Zhao Fu well.

She left only after settling Zhao Fu.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the house, I saw Zhao Shen waiting outside.

Ji Yunshu was a little surprised. She thought Zhao Shen had something to say to Lord Zhao.

Zhao Shen helped her put her cloak back on before leading her towards Qionghua Courtyard, asking, "Are you cold?"

Ji Yunshu shook his head subconsciously, then remembered that it was late at night and he couldn't see, so he said, "It's not cold."

Zhao Shen laughed: "Your hands are so cold, and you're still lying."

Ji Yunshu said unhappily, "You already know, and you're still asking."

After being drugged last time, she felt a little cold for a long time. Although she recovered later, her hands and feet still became cold easily when the weather was cold.

Bai Ling said that this was due to his physical condition and needed to be adjusted slowly.

Ji Yunshu was not worried. It was said that apart from making it difficult to conceive, there would be no other impact. She did not plan to have children within the next one or two years, so she felt that it had almost no impact on her.

But Zhao Shen cared a lot about this and reminded her to keep warm at all times.

She often reminded the maids to keep the room warm and not let her catch a cold.

As a result, there was a constant charcoal fire in the house where she lived, and sometimes she felt too hot even if she wore more clothes.

Zhao Shen himself was even woken up by the heat even though he was sleeping soundly.

Ji Yunshu told him several times that it was not necessary to be so hot, but he didn't listen. Now he was too lazy to say anything more.

Zhao Shen also knew that she was dissatisfied with him, but he specifically asked the imperial physician. If a girl caught a cold, it would not only be bad for her offspring, but would also affect her body.

Whenever he thought about how healthy Ji Yunshu used to be, but her hands and feet were always cold, he couldn't help but blame himself.

All this is because of him.

"Lu Ningshuang died too easily."

In the past, Ji Yunshu didn't like to hear him mention this person, so he tried to avoid it, but now that the person is dead, there is nothing that cannot be mentioned.

Ji Yunshu didn't know how much he had thought about in such a short while. He just said, "Let's not talk about whether it's easy or not. Fortunately, he died. Otherwise, who knows how much more trouble would have happened."

After all, it was Lu Ningshuang who revealed this matter first, but I don’t know what her intention was?

It seemed to have attracted their attention at the time, but now it seems like Pandora's box.

Now that Qin is dead, she has left them with another mystery.

Ji Yunshu simply didn't know whether to admire Yao or Lu Ningshuang.

The two of them had already returned to the room while talking. The warm air hit them in the face. Ji Yunshu took off her outer clothes and felt her whole body relaxed.

Heat has its advantages, she is indeed afraid of cold.

She quickly got back into bed, sighed comfortably, and then asked Zhao Shen, who was lying beside her: "Didn't Daddy say anything to you?"

She thought Lord Zhao's reaction was a little strange.

Knowing that Qin was involved in Madam Shen's death, except for being a little confused at first, her subsequent performance was very...

Ji Yunshu thought for a while before coming up with a word to describe it.

She felt it was dull.

Lord Zhao has shown for so many years that he has never forgotten Madam Shen, and he has been very good to Zhao Shen.

But if he really didn't know the truth about Shen's death before, and heard it for the first time today, his reaction was too indifferent.

He didn't even ask Qin about what happened back then.

Zhao Shen was just born at that time and knew nothing.

But Lord Zhao is not like that. Even if Yao had done everything perfectly back then, he never suspected that there was something fishy about Madam Shen's death. Now that he has heard about it, doesn't he have any doubts?

How could he just sit there in a daze?

He was still in a daze watching Qin commit suicide.

This is simply unbelievable.

Ji Yunshu never thought that Lord Zhao was not smart.

Zhao Shen sneered, "He said his mind was a little confused and he needed to calm down."

Ji Yunshu didn't want to sound like he was trying to sow discord between them, so he thought for a moment before saying, "Then don't you have anything to say to him?"

In the darkness, Zhao Shen, with a strand of Ji Yunshu's hair entangled between his legs, said calmly, "You've noticed something's wrong with him, haven't you? If he doesn't want to talk about it, I won't ask any more questions. Anyway, the truth will eventually come out."

Ji Yunshu always felt that this was not a good sign: "If Father thinks the same as you, then you investigate yours and he investigates his. Isn't that a waste of resources? Wouldn't it be better for the two of you to communicate properly?"

In fact, what she was afraid of was that the father and son were heading in opposite directions.

Zhao Shen is investigating, but Lord Zhao is covering up the clues for some reason, perhaps because Zhao Shen is poisoned and is coerced.

That would explain why Zhao Shen couldn't find any clues for all these years.

Zhao Shen obviously knew what she was worried about. "Father has his own plans, and at the moment, he doesn't intend to let me know. You don't have to worry about me being poisoned. It's still unclear whether I have the poison or not."

They had already asked the imperial physician and the doctors in the clinic to take Zhao Shen's pulse.

The imperial physician and most doctors said that Zhao Shen showed no signs of poisoning.

Only the doctor Yichen sent over said that his pulse was not right, but he could not tell whether he was poisoned.

As for the poison, it was a secret technique of the Miao tribes. They had only heard of it but had never seen it.

So the current situation is that they can't even be sure whether Zhao Shen has been poisoned.
