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 429: Killing Intention
Zhao Shen nodded: "Eighty percent is true, and the Ferghana horse you just got is worth a fortune."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "No wonder Miss Liu came to see you right after I got the BMW. Let's ride that horse today, so they can see it but not touch it."
Her eyes flickered as she talked and laughed, not hiding her evil intentions at all. She looked particularly lively, and Zhao Shen couldn't help but kiss her lips again.
The two of them stayed together for a while, and only appeared when someone called out again from outside.
The caravan outside was ready to go. Liu Ze was a veteran in the romantic world. When he saw Ji Yunshu's slightly swollen lips, he knew what the two had just done. He felt depressed and couldn't help but glared at Liu Yan, thinking that she was not capable enough.
Of course Liu Yan also noticed it, but she lowered her head and said nothing.
When Liu Ze saw Zhao Shen and Ji Yunshu riding the Ferghana horse together, his face turned dark.
In his heart, the horse is his, and the beauty on the horse is also his.
The more he looked at Zhao Shen, the more he found him an eyesore, and he couldn't help but feel murderous.
Since Liu Yan couldn't hook up with anyone, it's no wonder he took action.
There are so many ways to kill a person on this prairie.
Ji Yunshu on horseback seemed nonchalant, but in fact he had been paying attention to the reactions of the Liu brothers and sisters, and immediately noticed Liu Ze's unfriendly look towards Zhao Shen.
Leaning into Zhao Shen's arms, he whispered, "He has murderous intentions towards you."
Zhao Shen was not surprised at all: "It's normal. This man is greedy and cruel. It's not easy for him to endure for so long."
Ji Yunshu sighed: "Why bother?"
Instead of doing good business, they have to attract other people's attention. Some people deserve the bad luck they get.
Zhao Shen was a little amused: "Do you sympathize with him?"
Even if Liu Ze didn't touch him, Zhao Shen didn't intend to let him go because he dared to set his sights on Ji Yunshu.
Ji Yunshu shook his head. "How could that be? But it looks like he wants to strike before reaching the royal court. But we still need to use him to enter the royal city, so we must not alert the enemy."
Since Zhao Shen suspected that the Liu family was collaborating with the enemy, he would definitely not let them go.
But there are still many things to deal with. Did the Liu family contact the people of Mobei directly, or did they have an intermediary? What channels did they use to travel freely at the border? Are the people involved clean? All of these need to be investigated clearly.
Zhao Shen said: "Don't worry, he won't delay our work."
Ji Yunshu was naturally confident in him, so he didn't say anything else.
The weather was very hot that day, with the sun blazing overhead. Ji Yunshu needed to rest after walking for a while.
Liu Ze was not in a hurry. He was very kind and found a sunny hillside to set up camp so that everyone could rest.
Ji Yunshu said gratefully, "Thank you, Master Liu."
She looked so beautiful when she smiled in the sunlight. Liu Ze couldn't help but stare at her in amazement. Liu Yan replied, "Miss Yun, you're welcome. It's really not suitable to travel in such hot weather. If someone gets a heat stroke, it will delay the trip."
Ji Yunshu said: "Anyway, thank you."
After thanking him, she returned to the tent Zhao Shen had set up.
Liu Yan knew Liu Ze very well and knew that he would not stop just for Ji Yunshu.
Then he asked, "Second brother, do you have any plans?"
Liu Ze glanced at her and reminded her: "Don't be so smart."
Liu Yan knew he was on guard against her, so she smiled and reminded him, "I know it's my fault for not being able to do things properly, so I had to trouble my second brother to do it personally. But that Mr. Ming might not be with Miss Yun just for women."
She didn't think that she was not charming enough to attract Zhao Shen, but she believed that Ji Yunshu had what Zhao Shen wanted.
As for feelings, Liu Yan never cared about them.
As long as men in this world have fame, wealth and power, will they still lack women?
Liu Ze agreed with her words. In his opinion, since he already had the woman and he was still taking such good care of her and never leaving her, it could only mean that she still had some value to her.
But he didn't care: "He's just a poor scholar. Even if he has other intentions, he is destined to never leave this grassland."
Liu Yan was now certain that Liu Ze was going to attack Zhao Shen. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, second brother. I will help you calm Miss Yun down."
Liu Ze nodded: "Be careful, it's best not to arouse her suspicion. It would be even better if we can find out her background."
Ji Yunshu herself might not know the formula of Liuli, so if she wants to get the formula, she has to start from her family.
Liu Ze was making a lot of calculations, but when Liu Yan heard his words, she felt unexpectedly uneasy.
After all, she is a girl, and her mind is more delicate. She has been observing Ji Yunshu carefully since she set her sights on him.
Ji Yunshu's behavior and manners made her feel that his background was extraordinary.
Their Liu family is a big family in Hejian. Although her grandfather's branch is engaged in business, most of the direct descendants of the Liu family are officials. She has also met the children of the main branch at banquets.
If she were to say, when it comes to conduct, none of her sisters, who are already superior to her in her eyes, can compare to Ji Yunshu.
She felt that Liu Ze's plan to take Ji Yunshu as his concubine and get the Liuli formula from her family would probably not work.
You might even get into big trouble.
She was a little worried, so she asked someone to keep an eye on Ji Yunshu.
In fact, she wanted to keep an eye on Liu Ze, fearing that he would get into big trouble. After all, she had not forgotten the purpose of their trip.
But she knew that Liu Ze would not listen to her, and she didn't have anyone she could rely on. If she kept an eye on Ji Yunshu, Liu Ze would not say anything even if he knew.
In the tent, Ji Yunshu leisurely drank the sour plum soup that Zhao Shen had cooked and cooled himself, and his brows and eyes relaxed a lot.
"It's delicious! You can even make sour plum soup so delicious. You're amazing."
She praised it sincerely.
Zhao Shen wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief: "The things were brought by people around you. I just cooked them."
Before leaving, Bai Ling specially packed a large bag of medicinal herbs that she might need. Considering that her appetite might be poor due to the hot weather, she also packed various prepared ingredients to relieve the heat.
They are all wrapped in paper. When you want to drink, just add water to a pack and boil it. It is very convenient.
Ji Yunshu didn't bring any servants with her this time, but with Zhao Shen around, she still didn't have to do anything.
Zhao Shen knew her very well and always arranged everything properly. In addition, with the deliberate indulgence of the Liu brothers and sisters, her trip to Mobei was not too painful.
However, she felt a little embarrassed to let Zhao Shen do all the work, so she would praise him whenever she got the chance.
At this moment, she said seriously, "That's not the case. To cook this thing properly, there are certain things to consider: the amount of water, the water temperature, and the cooking time. Just like no two people can cook the same tasting meal using the same ingredients, the deliciousness of your food isn't solely due to Bai Ling's good ingredients."
Seeing her big black eyes open and her sincere tone, Zhao Shen couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, you're right."
Ji Yunshu was finally satisfied, but then he started to worry again, holding his chin: "What are we going to eat later? I really don't want meat."
