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 41: Is there something wrong with my brain?
Ji Yunshu naturally couldn't really let someone live next door to her. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Let's find a quieter and more secluded courtyard to settle them down."
After saying that, she felt that she would definitely need to find some technical personnel to research together in the future, so she added: "The place needs to be bigger. What they are going to do is a bit dangerous, so it's best to keep it as far away from people as possible."
"Danger?"
Ji Yunshu said, "You know, he's a Taoist priest, so it's easy for his furnace to explode when he's refining the elixir. Oh, in the future, give him whatever materials he needs."
She would eventually return to the Marquis' Mansion. Since she had brought her back to this manor, Shen Qin would definitely know about it.
In that case, let’s just leave everything to Shen Qin.
Anyway, she doesn't have any trustworthy management talents at her disposal now.
It's obvious at first glance that Shen Qin is Zhao Shen's confidant. He is both capable and trustworthy, so it would be a waste to not use him.
Shen Qin's usually calm face was rarely tense: "Alchemy?"
Didn’t the prince say that the lady was in good health and didn’t want to take any pills?
Why do you suddenly want to keep a Taoist priest to make elixirs?
He couldn't help but look at Ji Yunshu's head. Could there be something wrong with his brain?
Ji Yunshu knew from his expression that he was up to no good, and said unhappily, "What are you thinking? Didn't I tell you? Alchemy will cause the furnace to explode. I want him to research things that can explode."
"explode?"
Shen Qin was a little dazed.
But he was a smart man and quickly understood Ji Yunshu's intention: "You mean, use the furnace blaster to blow people up?"
Should we say that she is worthy of being the daughter of General Ji?
Just watching someone making an elixir actually gave rise to such a cruel thought.
Ji Yunshu nodded: "It's just an idea at the moment. Whether it can be realized depends on how far Young Taoist Master Yichen can go."
Shen Qin was very clear about the impact this idea would have if it could be realized.
He immediately realized: "Are those assassins today targeting Taoist Master Yichen?"
"Not entirely. It looks like he wants to kill me too."
Ji Yunshu said nonchalantly.
She actually had a vague idea of who the murderer was, but she didn't expect the other party to be so rough and eager.
"Madam, do you know who wants to kill you?"
Seeing her calmness, Shen Qin couldn't tell that she had just experienced an assassination attempt. He couldn't help but admire her composure.
Ji Yunshu said, "I met the eldest daughter of the Lu family on the way to Taiqing Temple."
"Are you suspicious of the eldest daughter of the Lu family? Do you have any grudge against her?"
The young lady from the Left Prime Minister's Mansion sent people to kill the wife of the Crown Prince of Changxing Marquis' Mansion. Is she crazy?
Ji Yunshu smiled faintly and said, "Celebrating a festival? I think she likes your young master, does that count?"
The corner of Shen Qin's mouth twitched. Are these rich girls going to such lengths nowadays to kill people just for jealousy?
Ji Yunshu stopped teasing him. "We don't have any conflicts. She's been quite friendly to me recently, but I suspect she's not simple, or there's someone behind her. If you can't find any other clues, you can check her out."
Shen Qin agreed.
Then he pushed the fake Zhao Shen out.
The two returned to the study, and the man in the wheelchair breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Shen Qin looking at him, he quickly said, "I really didn't do anything. I just said a few words, and then Madam found out."
Shen Qin said: "Madam is smarter than we thought, this is a good thing."
He was also afraid that the other party would ask him where the prince had been, or even start a quarrel, which would be very troublesome.
But after the other party was sure that he didn't want to talk, they didn't ask any more questions, saving them the trouble of finding a way to deal with it.
Chao Qing sat in the wheelchair, stroking his chin thoughtfully: "Do you feel that the Madam doesn't really care about the Prince?"
He felt that this was not a matter of intelligence at all. If you really cared about someone, you would naturally become concerned about them.
The lady's reaction was so indifferent, as if it made no difference whether the prince was there or not.
Shen Qin glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense. It's so easy to see through. You should reflect on yourself."
Chao Qing smiled and said, "What's there to reflect on? If Madam couldn't see it, it would be abnormal. And it's a good thing that Madam found it. With her cooperation, it doesn't matter if I don't look like the real person."
Shen Qin suddenly wondered if it was really appropriate for this person to play the role of the crown prince?
He asked with some worry, "I don't know what's going on with the prince."
It’s not that he didn’t want to tell Ji Yunshu, but the prince was in real danger. Even if Ji Yunshu knew, he couldn’t help, so it was better for him not to know.
Upon hearing this, Chao Qing put away the playful smile on his face and said seriously, "I hope everything goes well for the prince."
Otherwise, they really don’t know how to end it.
Ji Yunshu was also wondering what Zhao Shen had done, but after all, she and Zhao Shen had only been married for a little over a month, so she didn't really know each other well.
Especially after knowing that Zhao Shen's leg might have healed, all her previous thoughts were overturned.
Since Zhao Shen’s leg had healed long ago, why had he been pretending to be disabled all these years?
Even if it was to avoid someone secretly harming him, he couldn't have done nothing, right?
Thinking about it this way, it was perfectly normal for Zhao Shen to sneak out and do something.
Seeing her wife's worried face, Lu Ru thought she was frightened by the assassin and comforted her, "Madam, don't worry. No one should be able to break into this manor."
Ji Yunshu was not actually worried. She knew she was safe once she returned to the manor.
Besides, she was not completely unprepared. Even if Yichen didn't have the bottle of medicine today, she would be fine.
Seeing that the girls were very worried about her, she decided to put these annoying things aside for the time being.
Since Zhao Shen kept it from her, why was she still worried about what he would do?
She is just too idle, so she thinks about all these trivial things.
It would be better to deal with the things at hand as soon as possible instead of wasting time on this.
First of all, the clinic had to be opened, and she handed this matter directly to Bai Ling.
Then they had to find a farm to settle the people. Ji Yunshu roughly told them his idea and asked a few maids for their opinions.
Lan Yin understood immediately: "Madam, are you planning to adopt some homeless girls and have someone teach them how to read, write, sew, and cook so they can have a stable life in the future?"
Ji Yunshu nodded. "This is just my initial idea. I definitely can't support too many people on my own, so it would be best to invest in more businesses to form a virtuous cycle. What do you think?"
Yin Ye looked at Ji Yunshu with some admiration. She thought it was remarkable that the daughter of a noble marquis could think of doing such a thing.
She was eager to try and said, "Madam, your idea is very good. I can also teach them martial arts so that they can serve as guards in the future."
She felt that the daughters of wealthy families really needed female bodyguards.
Ji Yunshu nodded seriously: "That's a good idea."
Lan Yin thought for a moment before saying, "This isn't difficult. Every year, there are palace maids and old maids who are released from the palace due to age. Most of these people were sold by their families, and they have nowhere else to go after leaving the palace. It would be perfect to find some of them to teach the girls."
Ji Yunshu felt that many hands make light work, so she simply asked a few maids to discuss and write a plan together.
When Shen Qin came, several people were gathered together discussing excitedly.
Shen Qin asked curiously, "What are you going to do, Madam?"
Ji Yunshu felt that this matter could not be explained in a few words, so he said directly: "You will know later. What's the matter?"
He just left and now he comes back. Could it be that he is here to care about her?
Shen Qin replied, "People from Jingzhao Prefecture have arrived and want to inquire about the assassination of Madam."
Ji Yunshu was stunned for a moment. It had been less than an hour since she came back. Excluding the time it took her people to return to Beijing to report the case, weren't these people here a little too fast?
