Chapter 251 Robbed
Cen Xi held his chin and shook his head nonchalantly: "I don't know either, but he seems to be very busy these days."
"The scientific examination is coming up soon. Isn't it normal to be busy?"
"He's not that busy. I happened to see him meeting someone. It was a woman."
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "Are you jealous?"
Cen Xi was completely at a loss for words: "I was talking to you about something serious, but you were making fun of me."
Ji Yunshu quickly suppressed his smile: "It's my fault. You said he met a woman. What kind of woman is she?"
Cen Xi said, "Looking at her attire, she looks like a maid from a wealthy family, but I can't tell which family she belongs to."
Ji Yunshu also knew that there were too many families in the capital, and most of them rarely went out. Trying to find such a maid was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
She couldn't help asking, "What did he say?"
Cen Xi said expressionlessly, "They said they recognized the wrong person."
Ji Yunshu: "Isn't this too perfunctory?"
Cen Xi smiled and said, "Yes, that's why I was very angry and ignored him these days."
"How did he react?"
"Of course you don't know what you did wrong, but you're still begging for my forgiveness."
Ji Yunshu didn't know what to say.
Could it be that these two people are addicted to acting?
The most important thing is that even though you know the other person is also acting, you still cooperate enthusiastically.
After a moment's silence, Cen Xi suddenly said, "At first I thought he approached me because of my relationship with you, but after spending these days together, I have a feeling that he seems to want something from the Cen family."
Ji Yunshu was stunned.
Cen Xi continued, "The Cen family is just a merchant family. Although they are wealthy, they are not wealthy enough to attract powerful people. I wonder what he is planning."
Ji Yunshu couldn't figure it out either: "If you really can't figure it out, just wait and see. He can't keep playing along with you like this. Maybe the truth will come out soon."
Cen Xi nodded: "This is all my speculation, don't worry, at the moment he won't tear his face apart, there is still fun to be had."
Seeing her like this, Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Be careful, don't go too far."
She always felt that Lin Huixue was a very dangerous person.
After bidding farewell to Cen Xi, Ji Yunshu came out of the restaurant and smelled a special smell as soon as he got on the carriage.
She immediately held her breath, but she still inhaled the spice and soon lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, she found that she had no strength in her body and could not even move her fingertips. She could not help but blame herself for being careless.
In fact, it was not really carelessness. Who would have thought that someone would tamper with her carriage in public?
The person who did it must have planned it for a long time, which is why he was able to succeed so easily.
"Since Madam is awake, please eat something."
A maid came in with a food box.
Ji Yunshu looked at the rather pretty maid, blinked his eyelids, and asked with a smile, "How am I supposed to eat in this state?"
He even came to bring her food, so it didn't seem like he was going to kill her.
Ji Yunshu felt a little more at ease, and now he had time to think about other things.
The maid brought out a bowl of porridge from the food box and sat down beside the bed: "Of course I will feed the Madam."
Ji Yunshu didn't refuse: "Thank you very much, young lady. What's your name?"
The maid fed Ji Yunshu a mouthful of porridge before saying, "Madam, just call me Qiyun."
"Qiyun, the beautiful clouds in the sky? What a beautiful name."
Ji Yunshu praised.
The two of them chatted while one fed the other, and soon, the bowl of porridge was empty.
Qiyun didn't seem to expect Ji Yunshu to cooperate without crying or making a fuss, so she said, "Madam, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
After spending a short time together, Ji Yunshu had already noticed that she was indeed very considerate when it came to serving others. She must have been a maid for many years.
However, since she was sent to serve her and seemed to have a certain degree of initiative, she was definitely more than just a maid.
She asked, "Is this all I can do?"
Qiyun nodded and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, ma'am."
Ji Yunshu wasn't angry either: "It's too boring to lie down like this. I can't sleep either. Why don't we chat?"
Qiyun was prepared for her to lose her temper, but she didn't expect her to react like this.
A hint of interest flashed in his eyes: "I wonder what Madam wants to talk about?"
Ji Yunshu said, "We are all girls, so we can talk about a lot. For example, how could you, a little girl from the Miao ethnic group, leave your hometown and come to the capital?"
Qiyun's expression changed: "I don't know what Madam is talking about. I am from Daxia."
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "Don't you call yourself a Daxia person just because you've been in Daxia for a long time? Do you miss your hometown, young lady? Or do you have no home to return to and can only be someone else's lackey?"
Qiyun's pretense of gentleness was broken, and resentment flashed in her eyes: "You are the running dog. Are all the Ji family members the running dogs of the Great Xia Emperor?"
Ji Yunshu had an idea in mind. It seemed that he didn't like to take orders from others.
"Miss, that's strange. Our Ji family is guarding the northern border, so we shouldn't have any disputes with you Miao people."
Speaking of this, Ji Yunshu suddenly thought that the ancestors of Changxing Marquis Mansion seemed to have fought a war with the Miao people.
But that was during the time of Zhao Shen’s grandfather.
At that time, there was a unified country called Nanzhao in Miaojiang. The King of Nanzhao was an ambitious monarch who sent troops to invade Daxia.
The emperor then appointed the then Marquis of Changxing to fight.
The battle lasted for many years. In the end, Nanzhao was defeated and surrendered. The Nanzhao royal family was almost completely killed or wounded. Several large tribes took the opportunity to split the Miao area. Since then, there has been no Nanzhao in the world.
Ji Yunshu only found out about this after he knew that Zhao Shen was poisoned by the Miao people and asked Zhao Shen specifically.
Qiyun was clearly a powerful figure. When she realized that Ji Yunshu was deliberately provoking her and trying to extract information from her, she sneered, "Madam, don't waste your time. You can't even move now. There's no way you can escape from me. Even if you know something, it's useless."
Ji Yunshu said indifferently, "In that case, why not satisfy my curiosity? You must have captured me for something from the Changxing Marquisate, right? Tell me, maybe I'll know."
Many things were connected together, and she gradually had a clear idea in her mind.
Yao chose Marquis Zhao from among so many men in the capital, and was willing to kill Madam Shen just to marry into the Marquis's mansion. There must be a reason.
Over the years, she remained silent, and except for wanting to obtain the title of marquis for her son, she never achieved that goal.
Ji Yunshu pondered for a long time. When she learned that Zhao Shen had been poisoned since birth and that the Zhao family had a grudge against the Miao people that had destroyed their country, she thought about what might have happened to the Marquis of Changxing in Miao territory.
The Changxing Marquis Mansion may be hiding something very important to the Miao people.
"What are the things in Changxing Marquis Mansion? They originally belonged to Nanzhao. We just want to take back what belongs to us."
When Qiyun heard Ji Yunshu's words, she couldn't help but blurt out angrily.
