Chapter 221 We Are Not the Ones to Worry
Of course Zhao Shen would investigate further. How could he let his mother die in obscurity?
Now we have to find out what the Yao family is planning.
Zhao Hui was of course well aware of his nephew's character, so without waiting for Zhao Shen's reply, he said, "If you need any help, please send someone to tell me."
Zhao Shen nodded.
After Zhao Hui left, he went to the dungeon and asked Xia Mama in detail about the two maids who had thrown the hairpin before returning to the house.
It was already late, but Ji Yunshu hadn't gone to bed yet. She was sitting under a lamp, preparing incense.
Zhao Shen walked over to her and sat down, watching her for a while. When she stopped what she was doing, he asked, "Why did you think of doing this?"
"When I have nothing to do, I always have to do something. I made a calming incense myself. You can smell it."
In fact, it was not just looking for something to kill time. After Ji Yunshu found out that there was someone around Lu Ningshuang who was very good at using spices to harm people, he decided to learn perfumery.
If you understand it yourself, you won’t be harmed by others without knowing it.
Of course, she had this idea because she has a very sensitive nose and is very suitable for learning this.
Also, the original owner had learned it, so it wasn't difficult for her to pick it up now.
No, but after being in touch with it for a while, she can already mix the right spices according to her needs.
She knew that Zhao Shen had always had trouble sleeping, so she tried to mix a calming fragrance.
Zhao Shen sniffed the rising smoke and said, "It smells good."
Ji Yunshu covered the incense burner and said, "As long as you like it, this calming incense is specially made for you. I hope you can sleep well tonight."
Zhao Shen was stunned for a moment. He had not been sleeping well in recent years and the doctor had prescribed some calming prescriptions for him.
It works a little at first, but it loses its effect after a while.
Gradually he got used to it. There was nothing wrong with reading and playing chess alone when he couldn't sleep.
However, after marrying Ji Yunshu, especially during this period when they slept together, he would lie in bed even if he couldn't sleep.
In order not to disturb the people around him, he would remain motionless at such times.
This was not difficult for him to do.
So he was a little surprised at this moment: "Did I disturb you at night?"
Ji Yunshu looked at the weariness that could not be hidden between his brows and shook her head, saying, "We sleep in the same bed together, how could I not see this?"
Zhao Shen saw her worry and said softly, "We've come this far over the years. It's okay."
Ji Yunshu felt even more distressed after hearing this. Many things cannot be ignored just because you are used to them. She knew very well how painful long-term insomnia was.
Zhao Shen is still conscious and emotionally stable now, so you can imagine how strong his will is.
"Well, try this incense first, maybe it will work."
Insomnia is mostly caused by psychological reasons, and Ji Yunshu could probably guess where Zhao Shen might have psychological problems.
Although the problems that are bothering Zhao Shen now cannot be said to have been completely solved, the situation is generally developing in a positive direction.
She felt that with the help of spices, Zhao Shen's insomnia should be relieved.
Zhao Shen nodded: "It's getting late, we should go to bed."
As he said that, he carried Ji Yunshu to the bed.
Ji Yunshu had already changed into her pajamas and got into bed. She felt that Zhao Shen was a little different tonight and couldn't help but ask, "What did Second Uncle say to you?"
Zhao Shen was silent for a moment before recounting how his second uncle and second aunt had misunderstood each other for so many years. Finally, he said, "It's been so long, it might be hard to find out anything."
Ji Yunshu also felt that it was impossible to find out anything. Someone as cautious as Yao would not leave any traces for them to find.
She was more concerned about what Zhao Shen said about why Yao chose Marquis Zhao?
She intuitively felt that this was a very critical issue.
"Did Second Aunt die in vain? What are your plans for Yao?"
Qin committed suicide decisively without mentioning Yao at all, so it is impossible to implicate her now.
For them, another clue was broken.
"No matter why she married my father, it seems that her goal has not been achieved yet. We are not the ones who should be anxious now. Since my father doesn't allow me to touch the Yao family, then I won't do it for now."
Ji Yunshu didn't think that he was someone who would listen to Marquis Zhao. Although he hadn't done anything directly to the Yao family these days, as for the Qin family's matter, I'm afraid that Marquis Zhao wouldn't believe that he wasn't targeting the Yao family.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask again: "After the night Second Aunt committed suicide, didn't Father ask you anything?"
Didn’t Lord Zhao boast of his deep affection for Madam Shen?
When you suddenly learned that there was a hidden story behind Mrs. Shen's death, you didn't feel any emotional fluctuation at all?
"No, he has been staying indoors these days as usual. All the arrangements for Qin's funeral have been handed over to Yao."
Ji Yunshu felt that this reaction could only mean two things: either Lord Zhao had already known the truth and was therefore not surprised.
Or maybe Lord Zhao has his own plans and doesn't want to alarm anyone.
Ji Yunshu felt that no matter which one it was, Lord Zhao's current condition was somewhat dangerous. She wanted to ask Zhao Shen if he wanted to have a good talk with the Lord, but found that he had fallen asleep.
The dormitory was filled with a light fragrance. Ji Yunshu listened to his even breathing, curled up the corners of his mouth and closed his eyes.
Zhao Shen had a rare good sleep that night. He was still a little dazed when he woke up. He seemed to have fallen asleep very quickly last night, and he slept very soundly without any dreams.
He looked up and saw Ji Yunshu lying on the side with his chin in his hand, looking at him. He couldn't help but ask, "What time is it?"
"It's about 9 o'clock."
Ji Yunshu said with a smile.
Zhao Shen didn't expect that he would sleep until this time: "Why didn't you wake me up?"
"There's nothing to worry about. There are people taking care of Second Aunt's funeral. The New Year just passed, and the events of New Year's Eve involved many families. Now everyone is very quiet. There's nothing serious happening in Jingzhao Prefecture, so you can sleep in."
What she said was true, but Zhao Shen still found it unbelievable that he would sleep in.
Ji Yunshu knew what he was thinking at a glance and said with a smile, "How is it? My calming incense is working, right?"
Zhao Shen stroked his forehead and said, "It's even more effective than the imperial physician's medicine."
Ji Yunshu said, "Don't be like this. Isn't it something worth being happy about that you can have a good sleep?"
She said, pinching his cheeks with both hands and smiling: "Be happy."
Zhao Shen was actually very happy. Ji Yunshu cared about him so much and took the trouble to make perfume for him, which made him happier than anything else.
His skin was fair and delicate, and even when Ji Yunshu pinched it lightly, it still turned red.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but touch it again: "Your skin is really good."
Zhao Shen let her touch him all over without getting angry. They were very close. He kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear, "Your skin is very good, too."
His voice was low and pleasant, and the hot air he exhaled sprayed on his ears while he spoke, making Ji Yunshu feel numb.
She pulled him into the quilt and said through gritted teeth: "You come to seduce me so early in the morning."
Zhao Shen laughed muffledly: "Weren't you the one who seduced me first?"
Ji Yunshu: “…”
When did she seduce him?
