Chapter 191: The Important Thing is the Spices
Bai Ling pondered for a moment and said, "The sooner you start treating it, the better it will be for your health. You can't do it without taking medicine. Why don't I make some pills and put them in a porcelain bottle. You can just take them on time."
Zhao Fu did not dare to be careless when it came to her health, and said gratefully, "Thank you, young lady."
Bai Ling said without any expression, "You're too polite, young lady."
Ji Yunshu also said: "It's not a big deal, your health is more important."
Zhao Fulai was also nervous about confessing to Ji Yunshu, after all, the person who wanted to harm Ji Yunshu was her biological mother.
But unexpectedly, Ji Yunshu's first concern was her health.
She lowered her head in shame and said, "Sister-in-law, my mother's matter..."
Ji Yunshu said, "Just think of it as asking me to intercede with your eldest brother. I didn't agree. Don't worry about other things, and don't worry about the Chen family. This marriage won't be successful."
Zhao Fulian thanked him several times before leaving.
After sending the person out, Yin Ye came back and said with a smile, "This young lady is quite good at acting. As soon as she left our courtyard, her face became sullen, as if Madam owed her several hundred taels of silver."
Lan Yin shook her head: "The young lady is not as weak as she appears. Don't look at her crying miserably, she is still decisive and ruthless."
How could a truly weak girl dare to go against her mother and her future husband's family?
And he confessed right away that his wife was drugged because of her.
People without courage really can't do it.
Ji Yunshu also had a new respect for Zhao Fu, but she felt that it was Qin who scared Zhao Fu.
Suddenly, I saw another face of my closest and most trusted mother. Not only did she harm others with her own hands, she also wanted to harm me.
How could Zhao Fu not panic?
She was also the victim, so Zhao Fu subconsciously felt that they shared the same suffering.
Bai Ling pondered for a moment and said, "The important thing is the spice she mentioned. I've never heard of anything so powerful. Just smelling it for a short while can have an effect."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yunshu carefully recalled the smell he smelled when he met Zhao Fu before.
She had a very good nose, but she hadn't thought of spices before because they really didn't expect there would be such powerful spices.
Bai Ling thought that since something had entered the mouth, the focus of the examination was on diet.
Ji Yunshu thought about it carefully before slowly saying, "Yes, there is a fragrance, not much different from ordinary spices. The smell is very light and nothing special."
Bai Ling understood: "That must have been made by someone who knows a lot about spices."
It is not something that ordinary people can do to make the fragrance of a special effect blend in with everyone else.
Speaking of this, Ji Yunshu suddenly thought of Lu Ningshuang. The incense that she had used to poison the emperor with Concubine Shu was not an ordinary incense.
This time again.
The most important thing is that she has a strong motivation not to have children.
It seems that he is still in the capital and is watching her every move.
Just as I was thinking this, I saw Zhao Shen walk in.
She narrowed her eyes. If she was being stared at by Lu Ningshuang, what about Zhao Shen?
Zhao Shen saw her staring at him and felt a little uncomfortable: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Ji Yunshu snorted coldly: "Look at the prince, he is a beautiful man, pleasing to the eyes."
Zhao Shen: "...that expression of yours doesn't mean that."
He felt that Ji Yunshu's expression was more like she wanted to cut his face twice.
Ji Yunshu wasn't embarrassed by what he said, and laughed, "Isn't it because the prince's face is so attractive?"
Zhao Shen thought carefully and realized that he hadn't interacted with any women recently. "I heard that my eldest sister just came over, but what did she say?"
Ji Yunshu repeated Zhao Fu's words while holding a cup of hot tea. She looked at Zhao Shen with a smile and said, "The secret that Second Aunt is hiding is obviously very important. She even ignored her daughter to keep it secret. Of course, it's also possible that she didn't want to care from the beginning. I racked my brains but couldn't figure it out. Why would a mother do this to her own daughter?"
Zhao Shen frowned when he heard this. He really had no impression of the second house.
During the years when he pretended to be disabled and stayed indoors, he had almost no contact with anyone from the second wife.
Even before this, the people in the second house were very low-key.
My second uncle works away from home and only comes back once every few years. My second aunt stays in the house all day and doesn't come out unless it's necessary.
I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it before, but now I think about it, maybe it was abnormal from the beginning.
He was just wondering what was wrong with the second house when he heard Ji Yunshu ask, "Is it possible that the eldest sister is not the second aunt's biological daughter?"
Otherwise, the second wife's behavior cannot be explained at all.
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but she arranged a treacherous marriage for him and drugged him, as if she was afraid that Zhao Fu's future life would not be miserable enough.
Zhao Shen subconsciously retorted, "How is that possible? I still remember when my eldest sister was born. There was no accident at the time. It is indeed Second Aunt's biological daughter."
Ji Yunshu had just said it casually. In a large mansion like the Marquis' Mansion, with numerous maids and old women guarding the place, it would be extremely difficult to exchange a child like in the novels.
She lazily lay on the small table, holding her chin with both hands and asked Zhao Shen: "Anyway, no matter what, the marriage I promised my elder sister will not be successful. What are you going to do?"
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "Why are you asking me about what you promised my elder sister?"
Ji Yunshu raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Are you sure you want me to do it myself?"
It's not that difficult to deal with a playboy.
As for what's going on behind the Chen family's back, that's none of her business.
Zhao Shen said quickly, "How could that be? Madam's business is my business. Now it is certain that the Chen family is indeed holding Second Aunt's handle to threaten her. Since Second Aunt refuses to speak, let's start with the Chen family. It just so happens that Chen You is in prison."
Chen You was caught completely this time. As long as Xiao Yu didn't give in, Zhao Shen could keep him locked up for as long as he wanted.
The Cheng'an Earl's Mansion is really in a state of decline. Faced with such a situation, there is nothing we can do.
Or even if they have it, they can't bring it to the surface.
So this loss is inevitable.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "There's no time to lose. Why don't we go and interrogate them now?"
"we?"
Zhao Shen saw that she had stood up while she was talking, and couldn't help asking: "Don't you dislike going out because it's cold?"
As Ji Yunshu changed into her going-out clothes, she said, "It's boring to stay indoors all the time. I should go out and get some fresh air. Besides, I'm really curious about Second Aunt's secrets, so of course I have to go and hear what's going on."
Zhao Shen had no intention of letting her be subjected to interrogation and punishment, but it was rare to see her so enthusiastic, and thinking that she was not a weak woman, he did not stop her.
After a while, the two changed their clothes and went to the prison in Jingzhao Prefecture.
There was a bone-chilling coldness in the prison at this time of year.
Even though he was wearing a thick cloak, Ji Yunshu still felt the cold.
Zhao Shen saw her shiver and wanted to give her his cloak, but Ji Yunshu quickly held down his hands as he was taking off his clothes: "You are not made of iron. I'm fine, I just feel uncomfortable after coming in."
Zhao Shen said, "Why don't you go wait inside and I'll tell you when I'm done asking."
Now that he was here, Ji Yunshu certainly wouldn't give up halfway: "Don't bother, I saw the jailer light the charcoal brazier, you can conduct your interrogation, don't worry about me."
