Chapter 190 Confession
Zhao Fu looked at her mother suddenly, her lips trembling with fear.
Lamei held her close and replied, "The girl said that today is New Year's Eve and she feels bored being alone, so she wanted to come to your place and sit for a while. Who knew you would come just in time? It really is true that mother and daughter are connected by heart."
Qin looked at the master and servant suspiciously: "Is that so?"
Zhao Fu nodded quickly: "That's right."
She knew that her face looked ugly, but fortunately the lights outside were not so bright, so even if they stood face to face, she couldn't see her face clearly.
Qin seldom came to her place. She tried her best to suppress her heartbeat and asked, "Why is mother here? It's late at night. If there's anything, just ask someone to call me over."
Qin said, "It's nothing serious, just something about the Chen family. I just went to see your sister-in-law in person, but she refused to help intercede. If this continues, Master Chen will probably spend the New Year in prison. You've just gotten engaged, and something like this has happened. You'll inevitably be pissed off after you marry into the family, so you should be prepared."
Zhao Fu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she said anxiously, "It's just a matter of a word. Why doesn't my sister-in-law agree to help? Can I go and ask her?"
Qin looked at her in surprise and said, "Don't you want this marriage? Your sister-in-law said you went to her and cried about it before."
Zhao Fu was extremely nervous. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand and said uncomfortably, "Whether I agree or not, you've already made the engagement, haven't you? Can I really cancel the engagement?"
Qin nodded and said, "You can do whatever you want. If it doesn't work out, forget it. It was Prince Chen who made the mistake, and you can't be blamed."
Zhao Fu quickly said, "I know. I'll go find my sister-in-law right now."
Qin smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's already this late. I'm afraid Qionghua Courtyard is closed. It's not right for a grown-up girl like you to go to your brother's courtyard. It's not too late to go tomorrow."
Zhao Fu was anxious, but she also knew that this wasn't the night to do it, so she said, "I was too impatient. Thank you for reminding me, mother. If I had really gone there now, I'd have made a fool of myself."
Qin shook her head and left without saying anything else.
Zhao Fu was helped back to her room, looking exhausted.
She also realized that she was too impatient, so she took advantage of the night to discuss with Lamei how to tell Ji Yunshu about these things.
The next morning, Ji Yunshu had just finished breakfast when he heard the servants report that Zhao Fu had arrived.
Lu Ru said dissatisfiedly: "How dare she come here?"
All the people around the lady were investigated thoroughly but no one could find out what went wrong.
Now everyone knows that it was Zhao Fu who gave the drug.
There is no evidence, and it seems like you are wrongly accusing someone by making empty statements.
Ji Yunshu thought about Qin's failure yesterday and guessed that Zhao Fu was also concerned about Chen You.
She didn't want to see Zhao Fu, but after thinking it over she said, "Let her in."
We all live in the same mansion, so we see each other every day. It’s not a big deal to hide from each other.
Besides, she was always reluctant to believe that she had misjudged the person.
After all, Zhao Fu really doesn't seem like the kind of person who is so scheming.
The worst that could happen is that I could just reject her request.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Fu walked in and stood at a distance to bow to Ji Yunshu. Without waiting for Ji Yunshu to say anything, she said, "I came here today to talk to you, sister-in-law. But before that, sister-in-law, please let someone check if there is anything wrong with me. Don't offend you again."
Ji Yunshu looked up at her and saw that although she was a little nervous, she didn't seem to be saying anything angry, so he nodded to Bai Ling.
Bai Ling stepped forward to check it out and shook his head at Ji Yunshu.
Zhao Fu then stepped forward, but still did not sit too close to Ji Yunshu.
Although she had made up her mind to confess to Ji Yunshu, she still felt a little awkward when the words came to her lips.
Seeing this, Ji Yunshu spoke first, "Big sister, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"
Zhao Fu gritted her teeth and told her mother everything she overheard outside her house last night.
This was what she and Lamei had agreed upon. Since they wanted to seek help, they couldn't hide anything.
Moreover, if she wanted to get rid of this marriage, she would inevitably come into conflict with her mother, and there was nothing to hide.
Finally, she said with a face full of regret: "I am sorry to my sister-in-law. I rashly brought that sachet here and almost hurt you."
After hearing these words, Ji Yunshu didn't show anything on his face, but there were already turbulent waves in his heart.
These words really contain too much information.
The Chen family really had something on Qin that allowed them to enter into this marriage.
It's true that she was drugged because of Zhao Fu, but the spices...
Bai Ling had always thought that something had to be taken into the mouth to have such a great effect.
But now Zhao Fu says it’s just spices?
Did she smell it for half an hour?
"Do you still have that spice?"
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Fu shook her head. "After my coming-of-age banquet, my mother is leaving. She said this isn't suitable for a young girl and asked me to use my usual spices."
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but feel sympathy for Zhao Fu. She had only smelled it for a short while, but not only did her period come several days early, but she also had dysmenorrhea.
Zhao Fu carried the sachet for several days, but she didn't know what would happen.
"Have you been feeling unwell these days?"
Zhao Fu smiled bitterly and shook her head. She hadn't noticed anything was wrong, so she had been kept in the dark.
If she hadn't overheard what her mother said last night, she would never have imagined that her elder brother almost overturned the Marquis' Mansion and that the person he was looking for to harm his elder sister-in-law would be her.
The mother didn't care about the mother-daughter relationship at all, and didn't even care about her health. She only wanted to use her to harm her eldest sister-in-law.
However, after knowing the truth, the eldest sister-in-law asked about her health first.
She couldn't help but shed tears again.
Ji Yunshu sighed and said, "Let Bai Ling take your pulse first. You're still young and you won't feel anything now. Who knows if it will cause any problems in the future."
Bai Ling stepped forward to feel Zhao Fu's pulse and frowned as he said, "My lady's condition is more serious than yours. The medicine is too cold. If you don't take good care of your body, you might not be able to conceive in the future."
Zhao Fu naturally knew how serious the matter was. Her face turned pale, but she was too embarrassed to ask Ji Yunshu's people to help her recuperate, so she just hung her head and said nothing.
Ji Yunshu really didn't know what to say. She had just heard from Zhao Fu's words how cruel Qin was to her daughter.
But that was not as good as hearing with my own eyes that Zhao Fu might not be able to get pregnant because of those spices.
Is it necessary to pay such a high price just to test whether she is pregnant?
At this moment, Ji Yunshu almost thought that the medicine was originally meant to deal with Zhao Fu, and she was just a byproduct.
She really wants to ask what deep hatred your mother has against you?
But looking at Zhao Fu's pale face and the traces of tears that could not be wiped away, she finally couldn't bear to ask.
She said gently, "If you trust me, I'll ask Bai Ling to prescribe a prescription for you. Luckily, it was discovered early, and you're still young, so you can recover."
Zhao Fu shook her head. "If I take the medicine, my mother will find out that I know all this. I don't know what else she'll do to me."
Ji Yunshu looked at Bai Ling: "Is there any solution?"
It would be fine if I didn't know, but now the matter has come to light. In this era, if a girl cannot get pregnant, her life will be difficult no matter what.
Qin knew this very well, but she did not ask a doctor to treat Zhao Fu in time.
She vaguely felt that Qin not only disliked her daughter, but even hated her a little.
What kind of mother hates her own daughter?
Ji Yunshu felt that Qin was becoming more and more unpredictable.
I used to think she was a normal person with a clear mind, but now it seems that she is clearly a lunatic.
