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 436: Ji Yunshu’s Confidence
Her words made Liu Yan's heart skip a beat. "Sister Yun, that bandit is not only capable, but he also has so many men under his command. How can you possibly avenge him? You must not do anything stupid."
Ji Yunshu glared at her and said, "The horse bandit only has one life. How do you know I can't kill him? Humph, are you and the horse bandit in cahoots?"
Liu Yan quickly said, "How could that be? I'm just worried about you. Those people kill without blinking an eye. If anything happens to you..."
"That's my own business, you don't have to do anything."
Ji Yunshu said stubbornly.
Liu Yan felt that the situation was a bit tricky. She wanted to knock Ji Yunshu unconscious right away, but she was also worried about the experts Liu Ze mentioned who were protecting Ji Yunshu.
He could only say patiently, "Even if Sister Yun wants to seek revenge, she should take a long-term view and not be impulsive. If she fails to achieve revenge and ends up getting herself involved, Master Ming will not be able to rest in peace even in the underworld."
Ji Yunshu seemed to have taken her words to heart, and grabbed her hand again and asked, "Then what should I do? I miss Ah Cheng so much, wuwuwu..."
Liu Yan watched her cry, and a sense of pleasure inexplicably arose in her heart.
Before, she envied Ji Yunshu for having a lover who took good care of her.
Now she has lost her reputation and her lover, and now she is in Liu Ze's hands. She doesn't know how she will live in the future.
"Don't worry. Master Ming is gone. You must be well. Don't provoke the bandits yet. Let's go to the royal court first. We can deal with everything after we return to Daxia. Aren't your family very powerful? You'll have a better chance of success if they help you get revenge, right?"
She said this to calm Ji Yunshu down first.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yunshu immediately said, "You are right. My brother is a general guarding the border. I will write a letter now and ask him to bring people to kill all these horse bandits."
Liu Yan was startled: "Didn't you run away from home and come here?"
Ji Yunshu said as a matter of course: "Yes, but my brother has loved me the most since I was a child. Even if he is angry, he will not let others bully me."
Liu Yan suppressed the inexplicable uneasiness welling up in her heart and said, "This is Mobei. Our Daxia border defense troops cannot come here. If we are not careful, it will cause a dispute between the two countries. Your brother cannot bear such a serious crime."
Ji Yunshu thought for a long time before nodding and saying, "You're right. Fortunately, Daxia and Mobei will soon start a war. When the time comes, I will definitely ask my brother to kill these bandits first to avenge Ah Cheng."
Her voice was firm and confident, letting Liu Yan know that she was not joking.
The fact that the woman in front of me dared to say such words meant that her brother held a high position in the military.
Although there was no one else in the tent at this time, she still broke out in a cold sweat.
If these words were to get out to the horse bandits, they would definitely not let go of Liu Ze who had caused them so much trouble.
She tried hard to calm herself down: "Then are you still going to Mobei?"
Ji Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "Since we've come this far, let's go."
She said it casually, as if going to the Mobei Royal Court was no big deal.
Liu Yan smiled and said, "That's good. I'm a little reluctant to part ways like this. We can continue to travel together. Don't worry, my family has had partners in the royal city for many years, and we can sell your goods together when the time comes."
Ji Yunshu looked uninterested: "Just tell the people around me when you're leaving."
Seeing that she didn't continue to make a fuss about revenge, Liu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye and went to Liu Ze's tent again.
Liu Ze was also anxiously waiting for her. When he saw her come back, he quickly asked, "How is she?"
Liu Yan shook her head and said worriedly, "She's clamoring for revenge, saying her brother is a general guarding the border. We're probably in trouble."
Liu Ze was still quite clear-headed. He thought about the generals who had come over from the border and shook his head. "I don't know if she's just talking nonsense. There's no general named Yun on the border."
Liu Yan said, "She said it in anger, but it doesn't sound like she's talking nonsense. Actually, there aren't any major families in Daxia with the surname Yun. Do you think it's possible that the name she told us was a lie?"
Liu Ze said with a sullen face, "It's not impossible. She eloped with someone. How could she publicly reveal her name and bring shame to the family?"
Liu Yan sighed, "That's going to be troublesome. She comes from a high-class family and has a brother who's a general. If she's determined to seek revenge on those bandits, they'll definitely tell on us."
The reason why Huo Chong has been able to remain safe and sound for so many years is that no one cares about this place.
The number of men he has is definitely no match for the Daxia army.
He just does the job for money and may betray them at any time.
Liu Ze didn't expect things to turn out like this. He really wanted to say that it was impossible for Ji Yunshu's brother to really bring people across the border to confront Huo Cong.
But what if?
If anything unexpected happens, the road that their Liu family has worked so hard to open up will encounter setbacks.
He thought about it again and again, and finally asked: "Is there any way to dispel her idea of revenge?"
Liu Yan shook her head. "It's difficult. She was crying so hard just now, but she became a little more cheerful when she talked about revenge. Now she's probably relying on this thought to keep her going."
She found it a little hard to understand. Although Zhao Shen was good-looking, was it really necessary to do that for a man?
As long as she returns home, she is still the high and mighty young lady, and what kind of man can't she want?
Liu Ze was at a loss as it was the first time he had encountered such a difficult situation.
According to his original idea, he would get some medicine to take possession of the woman. She was just a woman, and once she became his, she would naturally accept her fate.
But now he couldn't even get close to people.
Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes and said to Liu Yan, "Rest first. I'll have Uncle Li try the man next to her tonight. If he can take him down, things will be easy."
Zhao Shen is already dead. As long as the expert who is protecting her is dealt with, she won't be able to cause any big trouble.
Liu Yan subconsciously felt that this method wouldn't work, but she knew Liu Ze wouldn't listen, so she had to remind him, "Didn't you say that person was extremely powerful? To be absolutely sure, why not send two people? If they work together, their chances of victory will be greater."
Liu Ze smiled and said, "You are right. Tonight is the day that man dies. When he dies, that woman will fall into my hands."
He really enjoyed the feeling of being able to control the fate of others. He felt extremely comfortable when he thought that no matter how high Ji Yunshu's background was, she could only be his.
Liu Yan was preoccupied with something, her mind a bit confused. She nodded randomly and said, "Then I wish my brother a successful start this time and that he can win the girl."
Liu Ze thought of the scene after the success, raised his chin proudly and said, "Thank you for your good words."
After Liu Yan returned to her tent, she thought about it and felt that something was wrong.
After thinking for a moment, she stretched out her hand to beckon her maid, whispered a few words in her ear, and then sent her out.
At midnight, everything around was silent. Ji Yunshu's tent was quiet, but she was not asleep.
The person who was with her was Zhao Shen, whom the Liu brothers and sisters thought was dead.
Zhao Shen was worried about Ji Yunshu, fearing that she had fallen into the trap of the Liu brothers and sisters, so he rushed back after telling Huo Cong what he had to do.
