Chapter 195: What are you worried about?
Ji Yunshu didn't say anything. In fact, the reason why she was so sensitive about Lu Ningshuang's affairs was not just because of Zhao Shen.
But Lu Ningshuang herself has the strength that makes people pay attention to her.
Just like now, she was hiding in the dark, not just staring at her and Zhao Shen.
Ji Yunshu felt that the other party was trying to divert their attention by bringing up the fact that there was a hidden story behind Zhao Shen’s biological mother’s death.
Zhao Shen should also be aware of this.
Thinking about how he suddenly found out that his mother’s death was caused by someone else, but he still had to keep it to himself for the sake of the overall situation.
Ji Yunshu felt inexplicably distressed.
He was not someone who could do whatever he wanted, and he actually had more on his shoulders than she thought.
But he never showed these in front of her, but tried his best to keep her safe and happy.
Ji Yunshu hugged Zhao Shen's neck and kissed him: "I believe you, but don't worry, just follow your plan."
Zhao Shen listened to her caring words, hugged her in his arms, and nodded softly without saying anything.
Ji Yunshu leaned against him and said, "Chen You will be able to come out tomorrow, right? What about his marriage with my eldest sister?"
"Chen You is not stupid, he knows what to do."
Although everyone knows the saying that he who knows the times is a hero, not many people can actually do it.
Judging from Chen You's performance in prison, he is a man who knows how to adapt to changing circumstances.
After realizing that the Chen family could not compete with Zhao Shen, he decisively chose to answer Zhao Shen's question.
And what was finally said was the answer that was most beneficial to the Chen family after weighing the pros and cons.
But if you think about it carefully, how did Mrs. Chen know about the secret thing Qin did twenty years ago?
Chen You might not have known about it, but he didn't mention a word.
After Zhao Shen received the most important news, he could naturally put everything else aside.
No matter why the Chen family wanted to enter into this marriage in the first place, Chen You must have realized by now that things are not that simple, and Zhao Shen is not someone the Chen family can deal with.
For the sake of himself and the Chen family, he naturally knew what to do.
Ji Yunshu also felt that Chen You was not a completely heartless person. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want to ask Second Aunt?"
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "Without evidence, she will never admit to something like this."
Ji Yunshu felt a little depressed when he heard this: "Is this the end of it?"
Zhao Shen frowned in dissatisfaction as he watched her speak. After learning the news that his biological mother had been murdered, the depression that had been choking him in the chest suddenly dissipated a little.
He gently stroked Ji Yunshu's brow with his fingers and said, "How can I let it go like this? I will not let anyone who has laid a hand on my mother go. But not now. Now it's the end of the year, and I don't know how many people are ready to make a move. We can't let others lead us by the nose."
Ji Yunshu felt a little sad, hugged Zhao Shen's waist and leaned against him: "No matter what you want to do, I will help you."
If you think about it carefully, she and Zhao Shen are really a pair of unlucky people.
But at least she still has her family to rely on, but Zhao Shen, she really can't understand what Lord Zhao is worried about?
On the surface, he loves his eldest son Zhao Shen very much, but in fact, Zhao Shen has always been isolated and helpless in this marquis's mansion.
When Zhao Shen saw that her eyes were full of heartache for him, he suddenly felt that the hole in his heart that had been empty for who knows how long was gradually being filled.
He did not lie to Ji Yunshu. If he had known such news before, even if he had to consider the overall situation, he would definitely not be able to be as rational and calm as he is now.
Because at that time, he knew that he would die soon.
So they will race against time to deal with all the things that need to be dealt with before they die.
But since he had Ji Yunshu, he found that many things could be changed, and he felt that he had a future.
He was no longer so anxious, and had the patience to slowly plan his plans.
"There's something I need your help with. Since someone has brought Mother's matter to our attention, we can't completely ignore it. You can ask Yao and Qin if you want to. Just think of it as curiosity. There's no need to explain everything."
Ji Yunshu understood immediately: "I just deliberately said something that seemed to make sense, so that they would suspect that I knew something, and then they would feel uneasy and suspicious, and then take action based on it."
Zhao Shen pinched her nose: "Smart."
Ji Yunshu couldn't help laughing: "You are really mean, but I'm afraid this method will be useless against the Yao family."
She felt that Yao might be the one who plotted behind the scenes, but she definitely did not personally participate in the action, so no matter how she investigated, she would not be the one to be blamed.
Moreover, Yao's psychological quality is very good. She has been here for such a long time, and many things have actually happened in the mansion.
She remarried on her wedding night, completely ruining the career path that Yao had arranged for Zhao Heng.
Later, because of Yao Ruolan's various troubles, Zhao Heng took great pains to arrange a marriage for her son with Wei Yuanmin.
Zhao Shen's leg suddenly recovered, and he was highly valued by the emperor and took up an official position.
These were not trivial matters, but she had never seen Yao lose her composure.
She seems to be the kind of person who will keep going once she sets her goal, and will never look back no matter how many bumps and obstacles there are on the road.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunshu couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, she has a son like Zhao Heng to hold her back, otherwise it would be a big trouble."
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "I don't expect it to have much effect. First, it will let the people behind the scenes know that we have indeed taken the bait and are investigating my mother's affairs. Second, the Yao family will be able to maintain their position, but the Qin family may not be so sure."
At this point, he sneered, "If you eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures all day long, it would be strange if you don't have evil thoughts in your heart."
Ji Yunshu pulled his hand and said, "Don't be angry. I know what to do. I'm sure they'll be very upset. It's almost the end of the year, and Second Uncle should be back by then."
Judging from the hatred Qin had revealed towards Zhao Fu, Ji Yunshu felt that it had something to do with his second uncle.
The most likely reason why a woman hates her child is that she hates the child's father.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Shen shook his head and said, "This winter has been tough everywhere. Second Uncle's place has also been hit by a snowstorm. If something like this happens in the south, the disaster will only be worse than in the north. Second Uncle wrote back a while ago saying he won't be coming back this year."
Seeing Ji Yunshu's confusion, Zhao Shen began to explain, "Officials serving in foreign posts rarely return home. Second Uncle usually only comes back once every three to five years. In this situation, Qin Shi should normally go with him."
Ji Yunshu said, "Forget it, if you don't want to come back, then don't come back."
A man who doesn't return home for a long time may not have much affection for Qin.
Ji Yunshu kept his word. When he went to pay his respects to Yao the next day, he asked directly about Zhao Shen's biological mother, Madam Shen.
"I've noticed that the Crown Prince has been missing his late mother quite a bit lately. Madam, since you've met her, could you please tell me what kind of person she was?"
The smile on Yao's face froze. She took a deep breath and then seemed to recall something. She said sadly, "She is extremely beautiful. The prince looks like her. I have only met my sister once, so I don't know anything else."
Ji Yunshu had long known that Shen was a beauty. Sons usually resembled their mothers. Looking at Zhao Shen's appearance, one could tell that his mother was quite good-looking.
It's just that although Yao's words seemed to answer her question, they actually said nothing.
As if he couldn't hear Yao's evasion, Ji Yunshu pressed on, "I heard you were outside when my mother was having a difficult birth. What exactly happened then?"
