Chapter 72: A Good Calculation

Seeing that she had indeed thought carefully before deciding to save people, Chao Qing no longer had any resentment in his heart.

Ji Yunshu seemed to know what he was thinking and said with a smile, "You don't think I did this because of Lan Ting, do you?"

Chao Qing was silent for a moment before he said, "I heard that the Madam was willing to marry the Crown Prince because he was handsome."

Ji Yunshu: "...Do you think Lan Ting is more handsome than your prince?"

The man who could make Miss Xiao Yue willingly give up everything and elope with her must have an extremely outstanding appearance.

However, in Ji Yunshu's eyes, Lan Ting is still not as good as Zhao Shen in terms of appearance.

Of course, Chao Qing didn't think Lan Ting was better looking than his own prince, but his wife secretly saved a man.

It's really hard not to think about this.

He couldn't express his suspicions, but there were some things he had to ask for clarification, otherwise how would he explain to the prince?

He said tactfully, "Mr. Lan's identity is of great importance. How could he tell Madam directly under such circumstances?"

After staying here for such a long time, Ji Yunshu also knew that as a married woman, it was actually inappropriate for her to suddenly save a strange man.

In an ordinary family, this could be used to question her innocence.

She smiled and said, "Are you asking why he trusts me so much?"

Chao Qing was a little embarrassed: "Normally, this is not my place to ask, but the prince is not here. If anything happens to the madam, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to the prince later."

Although he was not clear about the current situation between the Crown Prince and his wife, they were husband and wife after all, and they did not seem to have a bad relationship. More importantly, the wife knew many of the Crown Prince's secrets, some of which even the Marquis did not know.

Therefore, nothing can happen to Madam.

Ji Yunshu understood his concerns and stopped teasing him. "I did have some other reasons for saving Lan Ting, but that's because it involves other people's privacy, so I can't tell you right now. His willingness to trust me is also related to this, but I don't have any personal feelings for him, so you don't have to worry."

Chao Qing felt relieved when he heard her speak so frankly.

The two of them took the people behind them for a walk and then went back to their houses.

On the way back, I happened to run into Wei Yuanmin, who came up to me and said, "I was so bored alone, I wanted to go shopping with the prince's wife, but I didn't expect the wife to come out with the prince first."

Ji Yunshu said, "It's rare for the prince to go out, so I'll go shopping with him."

Wei Yuanmin smiled and said, "You two are so loving and loving that it's really enviable."

Ji Yunshu glanced at Yao Ruolan behind her and said nonchalantly, "We're just strolling together. The princess and the second young master will surely be even more loving than us in the future."

Wei Yuanmin covered her handkerchief shyly and said, "Then I'll take advantage of the Crown Prince's wife's good wishes."

Of course, she hopes to live in love and harmony with Zhao Heng and his wife in the future.

But the premise for this idea to be realized is that there is no Yao Ruolan.

Now, in Zhao Heng's eyes, there is no one else except Yao Ruolan, so how could he be in love with her?

Thinking of this, a hint of cruelty flashed across Wei Yuanmin's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. She smiled sweetly and said, "It's rare for me to come out. It's too boring to be alone. Sister Mingriji must make some time to accompany me, okay?"

Ji Yunshu's eyes had been fixed on her face, so he naturally didn't miss the cruelty in her eyes. He still smiled and said, "Of course."

Anyway, after tonight, she definitely won't have time to go out for a walk.

Wei Yuanmin left happily.

Chao Qing asked in confusion, "Madam, do you have a good relationship with Princess Huimin?"

"What do you think?"

She found that Wei Yuanmin was actually a very patient person. Because she was engaged to Zhao Heng, Wei Yuanmin often secretly made things difficult for her.

Eight out of ten times she and Xiao Yue quarreled, it was Wei Yuanmin who instigated them.

But Wei Yuanmin never took the lead himself.

So in the original owner's memory, her relationship with Wei Yuanmin was neither good nor bad.

So this time, she deliberately brought Yao Ruolan with her and came to see her repeatedly. What was her plan?

Although Chao Qing didn't understand women at all, he intuitively felt that the princess was not as friendly to her wife as she appeared.

"It's probably not good."

Ji Yunshu glanced at him and found that he was quite perceptive. "You know about Zhao Heng and Yao Ruolan's affairs. Why do you think she brought Yao Ruolan here?"

Chao Qing didn't understand matters of the heart, but he had heard a lot about what went on in the backyard. "You mean what does she want to do to Miss Yao?"

"What else? Are they creating a special opportunity for those two to meet? Even if there really is such a virtuous and generous wife in this world, it can't be Wei Yuanmin. I guess they want to drag me into this. What a good plan."

Chao Qing smiled and said, "Since Madam knows that she has bad intentions, why did you agree?"

"If I refuse now, who knows if she'll come up with some other tricks. I might as well agree. Anyway, I definitely won't have time to accompany her tomorrow."

Seeing the two of them chatting and going back to their rooms, the person who followed them secretly left.

Jingzhao Yin Qin Fengwei was walking around in a room. Someone sitting on a chair nearby said, "Please be quiet for a moment. I'm getting dizzy from walking around. We've surrounded Huguo Temple. That person will definitely not be able to escape. What are you worried about?"

Qin Fengwei said unhappily, "What am I worried about? If that thing falls into someone else's hands, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

The man sitting on the chair raised his eyelids and laughed, "So what if it falls into someone else's hands? Who can understand what's written on it? Why are you so worried?"

"What if? Over the years, some of our people have fallen into the hands of the enemy. How can you be sure that no one will reveal it?"

"That's what you said, so we must catch him."

Qin Fengwei was not so optimistic about this matter: "If that person is really hidden by the wife of the Marquis of Changxing, I am afraid it will be difficult to catch him."

He felt that the Crown Prince's wife was his nemesis.

The last assassination, with so many killers dispatched, should have been a foolproof undertaking, but the other party was not harmed at all, while they lost the Yama Palace.

As the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, he caused the emperor's dissatisfaction because he failed to find the real culprit.

This time, when we were catching the person who stole the account books, we met that lady again.

He had a vague feeling that things would not go smoothly this time.

The person on the chair said nonchalantly, "Then get rid of her too. It'll just settle the score with her."

Qin Fengwei was practically going crazy: "Do you know what you're talking about? Didn't what happened last time teach you a lesson? She's the apple of the Ji family's eye, the Queen Mother's eye, and now the wife of the Marquis of Changxing. Believe it or not, if you dare to touch her, these people will dig up your entire ancestry."

Perhaps it was because their plans had been going too smoothly over the years, with almost no setbacks, that those hiding in the dark had no scruples and started fighting and killing, thinking that killing people would solve the problem.

If it were really that simple, why would the master make so many secret plans? Wouldn't he have just killed the emperor directly?
