Chapter 10 Returning Home to Test
Ji Yunlan was a little troubled by his father's willfulness. His sister would have to live with Zhao Shen in the future. What would he do if he offended him too much?
So he took a step back, parallel to Zhao Shen's wheelchair, and said, "Ah Shu is the only girl in our family. My father wanted to hold her in the palm of his hand and pamper her. After knowing what happened in the wedding night, he almost came to your house to deal with your second son. I had a hard time stopping him."
Zhao Shen: "Thank you, brother."
The smile on Ji Yunlan's face froze for a moment. Zhao Shen was five years older than him, and he didn't know how he could call him brother without any psychological barriers.
He paused and continued, "It was Ah Shu's own choice to marry you, and we will respect her wishes. It's just that my father is in a bad mood, so please forgive me if he has been rude to you."
Zhao Shen didn't mind at all: "My father-in-law is famous throughout the capital for loving his daughter. Now that she has to marry a disabled person like me, it's only natural that she's upset. I won't be suspicious."
Ji Yunlan: "Prince Zhao, there's no need to be so modest. Ah Shu has a spoiled personality, so please be more tolerant in the future."
He found that the person in front of him was indeed a genius who had won the third place in the imperial examination at the age of fifteen, and his words were flawless.
Let him know that he knows what he wants to say.
That’s right, Zhao Shen broke his leg, not his head.
Smart people just stop when they are needed.
At this moment, Ji Yunshu, who was walking in front, was also trying to persuade his father: "Dad, Zhao Shen didn't do anything wrong. He has been very nice to me these past few days. Don't be so indifferent to him."
Ji Changlin was dissatisfied: "You've only been married to him for a few days, and you're already speaking for him like this? Did he say some sweet words to deceive you?"
Ji Yunshu said without any shyness: "It's enough for him to have that face, why bother with sweet talk?"
Ji Changlin was even more dissatisfied: "Your brother said you were attracted by his face, but I didn't believe it. Tell me what kind of vision do you have to be attracted to such a pretty boy? He's good-looking but useless."
Ji Yunshu blinked. "He's not only good-looking, but also skilled in martial arts. Daddy, do you want to give it a try?"
After observing for a few days, she found that Zhao Shen's daily protection was flawless.
Not only is the small kitchen strictly controlled, but the servants around him are not only experts but also doctors.
The defense of the guards in the courtyard is also the most stringent in the entire marquis's mansion.
There are even people guarding in secret.
This made her sure that Zhao Shen was guarding against someone, but it didn't seem to be the Yao mother and son.
After all, with Zhao Shen's status and scheming, if he really wanted to deal with the Yao mother and son, he would not have remained silent for so many years.
So he must know something.
Based on this, Ji Yunshu decided to help him.
Anyway, with Zhao Heng around, it was unlikely that she would live a carefree life as a widow.
Might as well find an ally.
When a husband and wife are of one mind, they can accomplish anything.
She was now very curious about how many cards Zhao Shen had in his hand that could help him survive.
Ji Changlin was suspicious: "Are you sure? Don't feel bad if it gets broken."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "It's not certain whether you can beat him, but don't be too blatant, it won't look good."
Ji Changlin snorted coldly: "Am I the kind of person who has no sense of propriety?"
Ji Yunshu smiled but said nothing.
So when Zhao Shen was pushed into the door in his wheelchair, a teacup suddenly flew towards him.
When Ji Yunlan, who was walking beside him, subconsciously reached out to block it, he saw that the teacup had already fallen steadily into Zhao Shen's palm.
Not a drop of the tea inside was spilled.
Although Ji Changlin did not use his full strength in this attack, he was confident that there were not many people in the world who could take it. If his son had not been beside him, he would not have dared to attack so confidently.
But Zhao Shen resolved it so easily.
He couldn't even see the other party's true strength.
What kind of monster is my daughter attracted to?
He subconsciously looked at Ji Yunshu, only to see her quickly run to Zhao Shen, bring the cup of tea back, and indignantly complain, "Dad, Zhao Shen has a disability, how could you bully him?"
Ji Changlin: "I didn't bully him. I didn't do it on purpose. I just accidentally let it go."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Zhao Shen acted as if nothing had happened and said politely, "My son-in-law greets my father-in-law."
Ji Changlin looked at his calm demeanor and waved his hand after a while: "Forget it, I heard about the bad things your second son did and was furious, but Ah Shu is right, none of that has anything to do with you. Even the previous marriage exchange was a debt owed to you by my Ji family."
Zhao Shen said, "Father-in-law, you are too kind. Ah Shu is the apple of your eye. It is understandable that you want her to marry well."
Ji Changlin sighed, "Man proposes, but God disposes. I went to the Imperial Observatory yesterday and asked, and they say you and Ah Shu are truly a match made in heaven. Her mother passed away young, and as her father, I haven't been with her since she was little. Now I hand her over to you, and I hope you'll treat her well."
Zhao Shen said solemnly: "My son-in-law will do his best to treat her well."
Ji Changlin nodded. There was actually nothing wrong with Zhao Shen. The only regret was his legs.
But his son's analysis was also correct, the Ji family did not need to go any further.
Zhao Shen's inability to enter the court was just the right thing for him to do to avoid the turmoil in the court.
If my daughter follows him, her life will be more stable.
Ji Yunshu felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart as he listened to his father's words, which seemed like he was entrusting his son to someone else.
She knew that anyone going to the battlefield would be prepared to die at any time, but in the novel, this great general who defended his country died as a result of someone else's scheme.
Just because her daughter married the wrong person.
Just because the Ji family blocked other people’s way.
Ji Yunshu thought with some determination that if she tried everything but couldn't change the situation, then she would risk her life to send Zhao Heng directly to hell with one blow.
The original owner came from a military family, and this body had a foundation in martial arts. Ji Yunshu felt that if he practiced a little more, killing someone would be no problem.
Anyway, Zhao Heng in the book is not a peerless master. Most of the time, he is just lucky because of the male protagonist's halo.
The Ji family has been fighting on the battlefield for generations, and most of them did not live long. My grandfather died early in the war, leaving behind only two children, my father and my aunt.
The others are all side branches, but there are few people in the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion, so the family has never been divided.
At lunch time, everyone gathered together and had a lively meal.
After dinner, Ji Changlin took Zhao Shen to the martial arts field.
Ji Yunshu then went to find Ji Yunlan.
"When are father and brother planning to leave? Have you packed everything?"
The two of them came back for her marriage, and now that she is married, it is natural for her to leave.
Ji Yunlan was a little surprised and smiled, "Married people are different now. They know how to care for others. My father and I will leave early tomorrow morning. Don't worry, the border is stable."
Ji Yunshu was worried, although in the book the two of them got into trouble a year after she got married, but now the person she married had changed, who knew if there would be any other unexpected changes?
But she couldn't say these things, so she could only remind him: "There are many accidents on the battlefield. No matter how careful you are, it is never too much. Brother, don't be careless."
Seeing his sister looking at him with concern, Ji Yunlan's heart, which had been hardened by the battlefield, softened. He rubbed her head and said, "I'll listen to you and be careful."
Ji Yunshu didn't know how effective this reminder would be. After a moment's thought, she added, "I heard that a witch doctor from Mobei once developed a Biling Pill that could revive the dead and cure all poisons. It's now kept as a treasure in the Mobei royal court. Can you get it, brother?"
