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 426: The Liu Brothers and Sisters’ Plot
Zhao Shen seemed to have some concerns and did not agree easily.
Ji Yunshu, on the other hand, confessed, "We will be hunted down along the way, which will cause you trouble."
Liu Yan smiled and said, "Is this your first time in Mobei? The road to Mobei is not easy. Even if you are not being hunted, you will encounter many gangs. They gather together to rob people. Since they are on the border between the two countries, neither side can control them. They are very cunning. The more people we have on our side, the safer we are."
Ji Yunshu no longer refused after hearing this, and simply said to Liu Yan, "Okay, but you can't seduce my husband."
Liu Yan seemed puzzled and said, "Forgive my poor eyesight, I didn't realize you two were already married."
Ji Yunshu was clearly dressed like an unmarried woman.
She never thought that the two would openly admit their marriage.
Zhao Shen said, "My wife has agreed, but I want to marry her formally, so we haven't gotten married yet."
Ji Yunshu blurted out, "Let's get married in Mobei. I don't believe they can still chase us all the way to Mobei."
Liu Yan glanced back and forth between the two of them, but her face showed nothing. "Then I wish you both all the best and a happy marriage."
Ji Yunshu finally seemed to like her a little better: "We will."
Knowing that they were being pursued, the two caravans joined together and continued on their way.
Ji Yunshu is a pampered young lady who needs to rest after walking for a while.
"It's so sunny, can't we rest for a while?"
Zhao Shen said: "The sooner we get there, the sooner we can feel at ease."
Ji Yunshu had no choice but to nod.
Liu Yan smiled and said, "Miss Yun is so lucky to have met such a considerate husband."
Ji Yunshu said proudly: "Of course I am lucky."
Liu Yan asked, "I just don't know why the young lady went to Mobei with her fiancée."
She felt that their relationship was already close enough, so it was okay to ask a question or two that crossed the line occasionally.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yunshu immediately said, "What does it have to do with you?"
Liu Yan felt that she had a really good temper. At this moment, she could still smile and say, "I'm just worried about the girl's reputation."
Ji Yunshu snorted coldly: "What a bullshit reputation, I don't care, I just want to be with Ah Cheng."
Zhao Shen's pseudonym is his courtesy name, Mingcheng.
Liu Yan said, "I see my sister also comes from a wealthy family. How could she think this way? If you don't care, don't your family and friends care either?"
Ji Yunshu felt that there was something wrong with this girl, as she had come to discuss these trivial matters with her for no apparent reason.
She rolled her eyes and said, "What does this have to do with you?"
After saying that, she turned around and pulled Zhao Shen away.
Only Liu Yan was left standing there, and Liu Ze quietly appeared behind her.
"It seems my sister's plan is not going well."
Liu Yan's expression was indeed not very good. She felt that Ji Yunshu was simply ungrateful.
She glanced at Liu Ze and said, "I don't know what Second Brother is talking about."
Liu Ze laughed meaningfully, "We grew up together, so I know what my sister's personality is like. How could you willingly go to Mobei and sacrifice yourself for the benefit of our family?"
Liu Yan felt a cold sweat break out on her back when she heard this, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "Brother, you're wrong. Our family has finally gained a foothold in Mobei, and the interests of the family are naturally the most important. For the sake of our family, I would be willing to die, not to mention marrying."
Liu Ze snorted lightly, his tone full of sarcasm: "Stop saying such ridiculous things. Before you set off, you even begged your aunt to save you. Do you think I don't know?"
Liu Yan felt a chill down her spine. When she was talking to her aunt, there was no one inside or outside the house, but Liu Ze knew it clearly.
It was obvious that he had someone planted by his mother's side. He couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "Just tell me what you want."
Liu Ze glanced at Ji Yunshu who was not far away and said, "I just had someone secretly check the cargo that the two of them were escorting. There is indeed a box of colored glass in it, which is extremely priceless."
Liu Yan raised her eyebrows, as if asking, so what?
Liu Ze said: "I don't believe that my sister would not be interested in such a treasure. It's easy to grab this box of things, but the formula of Liuli..."
Liu Yan didn't expect that Liu Zehao was so greedy that he actually set his eyes on the recipe of Liuli in Ji Yunshu's hand.
She shook her head and said, "I don't know. For some reason, that girl misunderstood that I would seduce her husband, and she disliked me. Besides, she didn't look like she knew the formula for the glass."
Ji Yunshu looked so innocent, as if he was spoiled to the point of not knowing his place.
Even Zhao Shen just blindly followed her lead.
She had almost never seen either of them blush.
She felt inexplicably sad.
Liu Ze said, "She doesn't know, but her family must know, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get so many fine products. And her family must be very dissatisfied with that poor boy. What do you think about me pursuing her?"
Liu Yan was surprised: "You want to marry her?"
She knew how arrogant her second brother was.
He is not young anymore, but he has not yet got engaged because he is too picky and ends up being neither too high nor too low.
They also inquired about Ji Yunshu's background and found out that she was indeed a rich lady who was ignorant of the sufferings of the world. She ran away with a poor scholar to prove to her family that she had good vision.
This was what they got out of the guards in private.
In fact, when it comes down to it, the two of them eloped.
Second brother actually likes a woman of this character?
In fact, she did know Liu Ze well enough, and then she heard him say, "She's a woman with a ruined reputation, how could anyone be willing to marry her? Since she's wealthy and pretty, I'll let her be a concubine. This will also help clear a stain on his family, so they'll naturally be grateful to me."
Liu Yan understood: "I heard her last name is Yun, but I haven't heard of any big family with the surname Yun. Maybe she comes from a small family."
Liu Ze said: "Looking at her behavior, it doesn't seem like it, but no matter what, I still need your cooperation. That scholar is too much of a hindrance."
Liu Yan gritted her teeth and said awkwardly, "Second brother, have you forgotten that I'm going to marry in Mobei?"
It was one thing for her to take the initiative to seduce Zhao Shen, but she was a girl after all, and she felt ashamed and angry when Liu Ze said this to her face.
Liu Ze said, "Didn't you say you'd do anything for the family? That's the recipe for Liuli. If it falls into our Liu family's hands, we'll surely prosper."
Liu Yan really wanted to mock him and call him a daydreamer.
If such a formula really existed, the Yun family wouldn't necessarily give it out just for the sake of their daughter's so-called reputation.
But she knew that Liu Ze would not allow her to contradict him.
So he agreed obediently: "Okay, I'll go back and try."
Liu Ze smiled and said, "That's right. We are brother and sister, how could I harm you? As long as you are obedient, I will naturally choose a gentle and obedient girl to offer to Mobei. After all, they have never seen our daughter, don't you agree?"
