Chapter 193 None of them can escape
Ji Yunshu didn't tell Zhao Shen about his previous speculation, but just said: "There must be someone behind this. Second Aunt has kept the secret for so many years, why would it be revealed now? Ultimately, those people really want to deal with you and me. Chen You is not an important person, so it doesn't matter if he is locked up, but what if he dies in there?"
Chen You died in there, and Zhao Shen, the newly appointed Jingzhao Yin, became the target of criticism and attacks.
Zhao Shen touched her head and said, "You are very thoughtful."
When Ji Yunshu saw his expression, she knew that he had guessed it long ago. No wonder Chen You was still alive after being in jail for a few days.
"It's useless for me to say that. How could you not have thought of such a thing?"
Zhao Shen said, "My becoming Jingzhao Yin is indeed a problem for them. With such a good opportunity, they should make some moves. Giving them another day is one way. If they want to take action, they can only do it tonight."
Seeing that he was prepared, Ji Yunshu said no more.
She didn't know what Zhao Shen was thinking after hearing what Chen You said, but it must have been unpleasant, so she said, "Since we're already out, why not come back later?"
The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Every household is preparing for the New Year. The streets are bustling with people, and it is much more lively than usual.
Zhao Shen nodded: "Where do you want to go?"
When Ji Yunshu thought of the spice, she felt that Lu Ningshuang must be staring at her from somewhere.
She smiled and said, "The places we usually go to are not very interesting. I heard that there is a market in the west of the capital that ordinary people like to visit. It's very lively. Should we go and take a look?"
Most of the people living in the west are ordinary people, and they generally don't go there.
Zhao Shen didn't know what she was planning, so he said, "Let's go and take a look."
"There are too many people and the road is too narrow over there for a carriage to get in. Let's walk."
Ji Yunshu stopped the carriage and jumped down with Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen stood firm and helped her up: "Be careful, why are you in such a hurry?"
The two of them were not in a hurry and walked slowly on the street.
Ji Yunshu kept making Zhao Shen happy along the way. After laughing, Zhao Shen said, "Don't worry about me. If it were before, I would have immediately wanted to find out what was going on when I heard the news. But now, my mother is not going to survive anyway. The truth will eventually come out. I'm not in a hurry."
Ji Yunshu felt that he was too calm, which made her feel uneasy. After hearing what he said, she was still a little worried, but Zhao Shen was obviously more rational than she thought.
"I'm glad you think so. Although I don't understand how this matter is related to Second Aunt, the one who benefited from Mother's death is still the Yao family."
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "I know. Don't worry, none of them can escape."
Seeing that Zhao Shen was clear-headed and had obviously made a plan, Ji Yunshu said no more.
The two of them had unknowingly arrived at the East Market, which was indeed very lively.
For ordinary people, New Year's Day is the most important day of the year.
The faces of men, women, young and old were all filled with festive joy.
Zhao Shen couldn't help but be infected by this atmosphere: "I have never been here before. I didn't expect ordinary people to be like this."
Poverty limits people's imagination, and so does wealth.
For someone like Zhao Shen, who grew up in luxury, it is hard to imagine how the common people at the bottom lived.
Ji Yunshu pulled him along and spent two coins to buy a string of candied haws. He said with a smile, "That's why I brought the Jingzhao Yin here to understand the people's sentiments."
She handed the candied haws to Zhao Shen's mouth: "Have you noticed that the candied haws here are different?"
Zhao Shen had never eaten such street snacks before, but looking at her curved eyebrows, he couldn't help but take a bite. It was sour and sweet, and tasted unexpectedly good.
"I haven't eaten this before, what's the difference?"
Ji Yunshu took a bite herself, and the hawthorn was more sour than she had imagined. "Don't you know this? The candied haws here are three cents cheaper than in the inner city."
Zhao Shen was stunned. Ji Yunshu had just been asking prices at a small stall on the street, and would buy some if he saw something he liked.
I didn't expect her to be comparing prices.
Ji Yunshu bit another hawthorn, shuddering with the sourness in his teeth. He stuffed the remaining candied haws into Zhao Shen's hand and said, "Don't underestimate three cents. Ordinary people can't earn that much in a day."
Zhao Shen looked at the candied haws in his hand and said, "I don't underestimate three cents, but why are you paying attention to these?"
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "Otherwise, what do you think I should care about?"
After she said this, she urged Zhao Shen: "Eat it quickly, don't waste it. Look at that little girl, she can't even afford to eat it."
Zhao Shen followed her gaze and saw a little girl who looked less than five years old standing in the corner of the wall not far away. She had a thin face and her eyes looked particularly big. She was staring at the candied haws in his hand.
Zhao Shen: "...Can I give it to her?"
Ji Yunshu looked at the two people, one big and one small, staring at each other in confusion, and almost bent over with laughter: "Of course you can, but you've already eaten it yourself, do you have the nerve to give it to the little girl?"
Zhao Shen had no choice but to ask Jingzhe to go back and buy another string of candied haws for the little girl, and he ate the two remaining hawthorns in his hand.
Ji Yunshu pulled Zhao Shen forward. Zhao Shen saw that she was particularly relaxed and couldn't help asking, "Do you like it here?"
"It's hard to say whether I like it or not, I just think this place has a very down-to-earth feel. Don't you like it?"
"I don't dislike it. You're right. The lives of ordinary people are more down-to-earth."
The two of them walked hand in hand for most of the market. Ji Yunshu bought a bunch of odds and ends, many of which were street food, and she also fed Zhao Shen a lot of it.
At first, Zhao Shen was not used to eating in front of so many people, but as he ate more, he no longer cared.
No one here knows him anyway.
In everyone's eyes, the two are a very loving couple.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Shen said to Ji Yunshu, "It's almost time. Those who should have seen it should have seen it."
Ji Yunshu: "...You know?"
Zhao Shen knocked her forehead: "You are so deliberate, if I still can't see it, wouldn't I be stupid?"
Ji Yunshu felt that he didn't do it on purpose, but it was true that Zhao Shen was not stupid.
"You can't hide anything from me, so you must have guessed that the spice incident was related to Lu Ningshuang. Why didn't you tell me?"
Ji Yunshu felt that Zhao Shen became particularly abnormal when it came to Lu Ningshuang's affairs.
Zhao Shen said helplessly, "I guessed this after I learned about the spice incident. Without any real evidence, what's the point of speaking out?"
Ji Yunshu snorted: "She doesn't want me to get pregnant. She must still be coveting you. If it weren't for the inappropriate time now, I would definitely get pregnant and piss her off to death."
Zhao Shen listened to her childish words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He held her in his arms and said, "Don't worry about her. If she dares to show up again, I will definitely not let her go."
Ji Yunshu was happy again after hearing this: "She's so good at hiding, who knows when she'll show up?"
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "It won't be long."
Lu Ningshuang escaped and did not leave the capital. She was even stirring up trouble in secret. Zhao Shen had already become impatient.
