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 229 Reminder
Ji Yunshu said very humbly, "I brought you some supplements, but I'm not sure if you can take them. Please ask someone around you to take a look. After all, you're pregnant, so you'd better be careful with what you put in your mouth."
Wei Yuanmin was completely speechless at her contradictory words. After she left, he couldn't help but complain to the people around him: "Doesn't she understand that the people serving her don't understand either? Did she say that to make me eat or not? What did she bring?"
The maid Cuiluo replied, "I just checked. They're all top-notch tonics. There's a box of blood swallows that looks like tribute. There's nothing wrong with it."
Although the princess's mansion was not short of good things, the tribute offered was small, and the palace only gave some as rewards during festivals.
Unlike Ji Yunshu, who had the Empress Dowager always thinking about her, and had food, clothing, and daily necessities sent to Qionghua Courtyard like water.
Wei Yuanmin laughed and said, "You are too cautious. Even if she didn't want me to give birth to a child earlier than her, she wouldn't use such obvious means."
Although she and Ji Yunshu became sisters-in-law, they did not spend much time together, and her impression of Ji Yunshu still remained in the past.
She is straightforward and a bit arrogant, but she doesn't have any bad intentions.
Cui Luo agreed with her opinion, but still said, "I think the Crown Prince's wife is probably trying to remind us to be careful with what we put into our mouths. Wasn't it said years ago that the Crown Prince's wife was drugged? The Crown Prince even mobilized a large force to conduct a thorough investigation throughout the mansion, but then there was no further movement. Maybe they didn't find anything."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yuanmin suddenly seemed to have thought of something and lowered his voice, "It doesn't mean that nothing has been found. Don't you think the death of the second wife is strange?"
What about dying from an acute illness? They lived in the same house, so it was not like she was completely ignorant of the news. If the second wife had an acute illness, shouldn't she have called a doctor first?
At the very least, we should go to the Marquis and Madam Yao first.
But she heard that Zhao Shen and Ji Yunshu went there first that night.
Cuiluo also knew that this matter was strange, but she knew that every family has its own problems, and every wealthy family has some secrets that cannot be told.
No matter how the second wife died, the Marquis' Mansion has already reached a unified statement, so it is not convenient for them to investigate further.
"Don't forget, the princess has told you several times not to get involved in the affairs of the palace, and to live your own life well."
Wei Yuanmin curled her lips and said, "I'm just saying, how the second wife's family died is none of my business. But Ji Yunshu, do you think she would really be so kind as to remind me?"
Cui Luo didn't understand Ji Yunshu's intentions, but she didn't mean to harm anyone, so she said, "After all, she has no grudge against you. She is a straightforward person. I have watched her with a cold eye these days, and she seems to have made up her mind to live a good life with the prince."
Speaking of this, Wei Yuanmin couldn't help but say sarcastically, "She's really lucky. There are many noble ladies of similar age who are better off than her in terms of family background, but none of them can live as comfortably as she does. She has the Empress Dowager's protection, and even when she changed her husband out of spite, she married someone better."
Even though she was wholeheartedly in love with Zhao Heng, she had to admit that Zhao Shen was more outstanding.
Cui Luo sighed, "That's right. The prince is so outstanding. It's hard to say what will happen to the mansion in the future. We should just listen to the princess and live a good life. Others will be taken care of by others."
Although Wei Yuanmin was unwilling, she felt satisfied after touching her belly: "You are right. The most important thing now is to give birth to him safely. If it is a boy, then we will have everything we want."
Ji Yunshu had been silent for such a long time since he entered the house, and the couple didn't seem to have a bad relationship, so many people in the mansion speculated that although Zhao Shen's leg was healed, he might not be able to recover in that aspect.
When Ji Yunshu heard this rumor, he didn't know what to say.
Ever since she talked it over with Zhao Shen last time, she no longer had to worry about this matter.
Their sex life was quite frequent, but Zhao Shen obviously kept his word and kept taking medication to prevent her from getting pregnant.
Zhao Shen returned that night, and the two of them had dinner together. Ji Yunshu casually mentioned Wei Yuanmin's pregnancy: "I always feel something is wrong. Zhao Heng just calmed down like this. Then why did he make such a fuss in the first place?"
Moreover, in the book, Zhao Hengke has always remained a virgin for Yao Ruolan and has never touched Ji Yunshu.
Now that Wei Yuanmin is pregnant, it means that Zhao Heng has broken his principles.
Zhao Shen drank a bowl of soup slowly. When he heard her words, a gloom flashed in his eyes and he said in a low voice: "My mother died during childbirth. Women are most vulnerable when they are pregnant and giving birth, and they can move a lot of their hands and feet."
Ji Yunshu just thought it was unusual that Zhao Heng had gotten Wei Yuanmin pregnant, but she didn't think much about it. What he said made her feel cold. "You mean, he wants Wei Yuanmin's life? That's impossible."
Princess Taining has only one daughter, Wei Yuanmin, whom she cherishes so dearly that she cannot bear it any more. If it were not for Wei Yuanmin's insistence, the princess might not let her marry Zhao Heng.
If Zhao Heng dared to do anything to Wei Yuanmin, the princess would never let it go.
A sarcastic smile played at the corner of Zhao Shen's lips. "That means Zhao Heng has figured it out and plans to live a good life with his wife and concubines. Let's see who you believe more."
Whether Ji Yunshu believed it or not, it wouldn't change anything.
From the very beginning, Wei Yuanmin and Yao Ruolan were destined not to coexist peacefully.
And Zhao Heng would not let Wei Yuanmin gain a foothold in the mansion after having a child, so as to deal with Yao Ruolan and even their future children in a natural way.
So although Zhao Shen’s words were cruel, they were true.
Although she reminded Wei Yuanmin today, judging from her expression, she didn't take it to heart.
Yes, she had been ignored by Zhao Heng for so long, and their relationship had finally eased. Now she was pregnant. How could she possibly believe that Zhao Heng would do anything bad to her?
It can be seen that Wei Yuanmin is a typical love-brained person because she insisted on marrying Zhao Heng even though she knew he already had someone in his heart.
Seeing her fall silent, Zhao Shen sighed, "You're still too soft-hearted. Even if Wei Yuanmin is stupid, the people around her aren't stupid either. It won't be that easy for Zhao Heng to take action."
What he didn't say was that Zhao Heng brought his own death upon himself, and they just had to watch and there was no need to worry about it.
Ji Yunshu is not a saint. Whether it is Wei Yuanmin or Yao Ruolan, they chose their own paths.
Just thinking that Wei Yuanmin would encounter the same thing that I encountered in the book, I felt indescribably depressed.
Of course, she had done her best by reminding Wei Yuanmin, and there was no way she could do anything else to disrupt Zhao Heng's plan.
With so many people in the mansion, many people must be watching Wei Yuanmin's belly. Whether Zhao Heng's plan will succeed also means a lot of things.
Ji Yunshu will not easily break the current balance.
Zhao Shen knew that she could think clearly, but he also knew that sometimes reason could not completely control emotions.
He decisively changed the subject: "Don't you like that girl from the Cen family very much? The Cen family case will be judged in a day or two. Are you interested in going to see it?"
Ji Yunshu was surprised: "Can I go and see?"
After Zhao Shen became the prefect of Jingzhao, he took her to Jingzhao Prefecture several times, but he never let her see him try a case in court.
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. This case is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture, and your husband is the Jingzhao Yin."
