Chapter 260 You Should Believe Him
Ji Yunshu rested his chin in his hand, thinking, "Is it possible that someone wants to do something in the capital and thinks you're in the way? But you haven't left the capital, so why haven't they made any move?"
Zhao Shen said, "It's not like they haven't achieved their goal. After this incident, they let me know about my grandfather's affairs. Putting aside the actual use of the ring, I'm also suffering from the poison in my body. If even Qiyun can't cure it, then I'll probably have to go to Southern Xinjiang to detoxify it."
Ji Yunshu was stunned for a moment: "Is that so."
She always felt that they seemed to have missed some clues, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.
The carriage returned to the Marquis' Mansion. Zhao Shen had something to do, while Ji Yunshu returned to Qionghua Courtyard.
Qiyun had no objection to staying here temporarily. Although she was afraid of Zhao Shen, she could feel that Ji Yunshu had no ill will towards her.
And Zhao Shen listened to Ji Yunshu.
So she happily asked Bai Ling to help her decorate the house.
Ji Yunshu had her own reasons for letting Bai Ling follow her. Bai Ling's medical skills were good, and it would be great if he could learn something about poison from Qiyun.
After resting in the house for a while, someone came outside to report that the eldest girl had arrived.
Ji Yunshu hadn't recovered from his cold yet, and he felt sleepy after drinking the medicine. His brain was still a little slow, and it took him a while to realize that the older girl was talking about Zhao Fu.
Zhao Fu has been staying indoors since Qin passed away, and she hasn't seen him for some time.
Coming at this time obviously means something's wrong.
Thinking about what had happened in the past few days, the smile on Ji Yunshu's face faded a little.
Seeing her hesitation, Lan Yin said, "Master, if you don't want to see me, then don't."
Ji Yunshu glanced at her and sighed, "Forget it, let her in."
As soon as Zhao Fu came in, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Sister-in-law, I beg you, please let my brother forgive me this time."
Ji Yunshu had actually thought about this before. Although Qiyun's kidnapping of her was very crude, it was well-connected and there was no room for error.
So those people must have an insider in the Marquis' Mansion.
This person cannot be Yao, because Yao is cautious and never does anything that would give others a handle.
The servants in the Marquis' Mansion were sorted out by Zhao Shen many times and dared not move rashly.
Who could that be?
Zhao Ke, who had just returned from outside and was hostile to them, was naturally very suspicious.
But Ji Yunshu didn't want to believe that it was really him.
She has been ill since she came back, and these matters were handled by Zhao Shen, and she did not ask about them.
I didn't expect that the conspiracy would be traced back to Zhao Ke so quickly.
"Miss, please get up quickly. What happened to your brother? I've been sick these past two days and I don't know what happened in the mansion. If you have any questions, you can go directly to your brother."
Zhao Shen wanted to find out the truth and give her justice, so she naturally wouldn't sabotage him.
As for Zhao Fu, I have already helped her in every way I can.
Although Qin's incident was regrettable, she dared to say that she had a clear conscience.
No matter why Zhao Ke colluded with outsiders to harm her, she didn't want to forgive him.
Zhao Fu cried, "Brother just had my brother taken away. I know he might have made a big mistake this time, but he might just have been deceived. Sister-in-law, please, try to persuade my brother."
Ji Yunshu said, "Your elder brother is a man who can distinguish right from wrong and values friendship and loyalty. He will find out the truth. If your brother was truly deceived, he will definitely give him justice. You know your elder brother well, so you should trust him."
Zhao Fu seemed to have not expected Ji Yunshu to reject her directly. She stared at Ji Yunshu in a daze for a moment without saying a word.
Ji Yunshu sat calmly on the chair, letting her look at him.
After a long pause, Zhao Fu continued, "Sister-in-law, I know what my brother did, but he only harbors resentment towards you because he didn't know the truth about his mother's death. He's been taken advantage of. After all, nothing happened to you. Can you please let him go for once? I'll apologize to you on his behalf and tell him what his mother did. His hatred shouldn't be directed towards you."
Ji Yunshu looked at her carefully for a few times. She knew that a lot had happened to Zhao Fu in the past year.
Qin's death may not be the biggest impact on her.
Her trust and dependence on her mother was shattered by Qin herself, and her outlook on life may have collapsed.
At that time, she admired the girl. Although it was difficult, she finally got through it and took care of herself.
Ji Yunshu looked at her and said quietly, "You're a girl too. You should know what it means for a woman to be kidnapped and missing for two days. The rumors in the capital didn't spread because your eldest brother did everything he could to suppress them. Big sister, if the same thing happened to you, would you be able to just say forgiveness without any hesitation?"
Zhao Fu's tears flowed down her cheeks. She kowtowed heavily to Ji Yunshu and said, "I'm sorry for disturbing my sister-in-law."
After saying that, she stood up and left without looking back.
Lu Ru said dissatisfiedly: "What does she mean by this? It's as if the master has wronged her. Hasn't the master helped her enough?"
Lan Yin knocked her head and said, "Your brain is incapable of thinking about complicated things. The black-bone chicken soup in the kitchen should be almost done. Go and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ru hurried to the kitchen.
After she left, Lan Yin asked, "If it was the Third Young Master who colluded with those people, the Crown Prince might not be able to deal with him. Should we…"
Zhao Fu had said something right. After all, Ji Yunshu had not suffered any substantial harm.
The capital was under the control of Zhao Shen, and the news of her kidnapping had not leaked out at all.
That's why the Queen Mother was so satisfied with Zhao Shen.
If it was someone else, Zhao Shen would definitely give Ji Yunshu justice, and would definitely get rid of that person in order to avoid future troubles.
But Zhao Ke, even though we live in different rooms, is still a brother.
Ji Yunshu shook his head and said, "Leave this matter to the Crown Prince. We don't need to interfere. If the Crown Prince shows mercy and lets him go this time, he must have his reasons."
She believed Zhao Shen. If Zhao Shen intended to cover up the truth, he should have stopped when he found out about Zhao Ke.
Since he took the person away, he was planning to deal with him.
If anything unexpected happens, it won’t be Zhao Shen’s fault.
Lan Yin nodded solemnly.
When she first saw that Zhao Shen treated Ji Yunshu very well, she was glad that her master had married the right person, but now it seems that this marquis's mansion is a hellhole.
The best thing the master should have done was to cancel the engagement.
The Zhao family was in a mess, and the master ended up being blamed for helping them.
If it hadn't been for helping the eldest girl, those things wouldn't have gotten involved, and Qin might not have died. Even if she did, it would have had nothing to do with them.
Ji Yunshu knew what she was thinking, shook his head and smiled, "Every family has its own problems. No matter who you marry, troubles are inevitable. Even if you don't marry, the Ji family may not last long. The current situation is already good."
Lan Yin said expressionlessly, "You're right. There's another princess next door who's competing with you. At least the prince didn't try to kill you. We should be content."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
When did Lan Yin, who has always been gentle and considerate, learn to be sarcastic?
