Chapter 261 Lan Yin’s Reminder
Ji Yunshu looked at Lan Yin strangely: "You seem very dissatisfied with the prince? Why?"
Zhao Shen had done his best in the matter of her kidnapping.
She was found in the shortest possible time and the news was prevented from leaking out, thus preserving her reputation.
It's even better for her than before.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhao Shen.
Seeing that she really didn't understand, Lan Yin said seriously, "Master, you are lucky this time. The person who kidnapped you was a young girl like Qiyun who knows nothing about the world. If a man was involved, do you know what the consequences would be?"
Ji Yunshu was stunned for a moment. She was not willing to imagine something that had not happened.
But if you think about what Lan Yin said, you will understand what she is afraid of.
When she was kidnapped, she had no autonomy at all. If Lu Ningshuang was still alive, it would be easy to take this opportunity to destroy her.
Ji Yunshu was even somewhat grateful to the person behind the scenes for letting Qiyun implement this plan.
Seeing that she understood what he said, Qiyun continued, "When you decided to marry the prince, I knew that you were different from most women in the world. You have enough courage to face rumors, so you don't care what others say. But if something really happened, wouldn't the prince care? What about you, can you pretend that it never happened?"
Qiyun's words tore open the reality that Ji Yunshu had been unwilling to face. She knew that no matter how she avoided it, some things she still had to face.
In fact, Qiyun still overestimated her. Living in this world, could she really not care about what others think?
She sighed and said, "You're right. I'm lucky enough. Or perhaps this is just a test. The person behind the scenes doesn't want to completely break up with the prince and me, so they let Qiyun do this."
Qiyun breathed a sigh of relief. Those words she just said were not what she should have said, but she was afraid that if she didn't say it, Ji Yunshu would continue like this.
Until you encounter a real crisis and don't realize it.
"The Third Young Master..."
Ji Yunshu still shook his head. "Let's wait and see how the Crown Prince handles this. I agree with you, but there's no need to hold any grudges against him or the people in the Marquis' Mansion. Lan Yin, I was kidnapped this time because of the Crown Prince and the collusion between the Third Young Master and outsiders, but ultimately, it's because I wasn't careful enough and wasn't strong enough."
She knew that Lan Yin's dissatisfaction with Zhao Shen was partly due to her feeling that Zhao Shen had failed to protect her.
Lan Yin said: "Master has worked hard enough, you are just a woman."
People have many expectations of women. They hope that they are gentle and virtuous, and that they are well-educated and well-mannered, but no one ever expects them to be able to protect themselves.
She watched with her own eyes Ji Yunshu practice martial arts day after day and watch her seriously study spices that she had not been interested in before.
She used to think that it was great for a woman to be able to manage the household after getting married.
But now he found that Ji Yunshu, who no longer had to be the head of the family, was actually more tired.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I can't always count on someone to save me when I'm in danger, and I can't expect others not to harm me, so the only way to survive is to constantly strengthen myself."
After saying this, Ji Yunshu himself seemed to be a little bit surprised.
When she first came here, she just wanted to live a good life.
Maybe it’s because I have more now that I’ve become greedy.
Lan Yin understood what Ji Yunshu meant: "It's good that the master understands it. It was I who was talking too much."
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "I'm very lucky to have you by my side. It was you who reminded me."
Lan Yin thought for a moment and continued, "Today, when I was accompanying Miss Qiyun to visit the Imperial Garden, I met Concubine Yi. Miss Qiyun looked like she knew Concubine Yi."
This was something Ji Yunshu had not expected. She frowned and said, "Princess Yi seems to enjoy visiting the Imperial Garden."
The last time she met Concubine Yi was in the Imperial Garden.
The key point is that there are not many flowers in the Imperial Garden at this time of year.
Lan Yin didn't know why Ji Yunshu's attention was all on Concubine Yi, so she had to ask, "Miss Qiyun..."
Ji Yunshu asked: "What was the scene like at that time?"
Lan Yin said, "We just happened to meet. Concubine Yi asked Miss Qiyun if she was the one who helped the emperor remove the poison. Miss Qiyun just looked at me without saying anything, so I answered for her. Concubine Yi didn't care and even thanked me. From what I saw, she didn't seem to know Miss Qiyun."
Ji Yunshu couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment: "I'll ask Qiyun later. The people behind her... I guess they'll make a move soon."
Qiyun was obviously taken advantage of, but it didn't cause any serious consequences. She didn't know whether the girl had thought it through.
Zhao Shen came back in the evening. He greeted Ji Yunshu as soon as he entered the room and went to take a shower.
Although it was just a brief encounter, Ji Yunshu could still smell a strong smell of blood on him.
When he came out of the bathroom, Ji Yunshu personally took a cloth to wipe his hair and asked softly, "What do you want to eat? I'll ask someone to make it."
Zhao Shen had no appetite at all, but since Ji Yunshu asked, he didn't want to refuse her kindness, so he said, "Just something light."
Ji Yunshu sent Lu Ru to the kitchen to watch over Zhao Shen's hair, and slowly dried it. She applied some hair care oil on it and rubbed it gently.
Zhao Shen has thick black hair that feels as smooth as silk.
Ji Yunshu likes to help him take care of his hair.
Zhao Shen's expression gradually relaxed. Seeing that Ji Yunshu didn't intend to ask anything, he took the initiative to speak: "I heard that the eldest sister came to see you today?"
Ji Yunshu nodded and said calmly, "She came to ask me to save her third brother, but I didn't even know what he had done, so naturally there was no way I could save him."
Zhao Shen grabbed her hand that was stroking her hair and said, "Don't you blame me?"
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "What does this have to do with you? If my third brother isn't here, there will be others. They might not show me the same mercy."
Zhao Ke colluded with outsiders to harm her, but during the two days since she returned safely, she kept her mouth shut and did not tell anyone about her kidnapping.
Even if it was just for the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, it could be considered as preserving her reputation.
Zhao Shen sighed, "Second Uncle didn't reveal the true cause of Second Aunt's death. Coupled with the misleading of others, he believed that you and I were responsible for Second Aunt's death. Since he couldn't touch me, he teamed up with outsiders to harm you. Today, my eldest sister went to the prison to explain the truth, and he was shocked. It seems he was indeed deceived."
Ji Yunshu was not surprised. Zhao Fu was not someone who would sit still and wait for death. Since her approach didn't work, she had no choice but to go find Zhao Shen.
Even for the sake of his second uncle, Zhao Shen would not do anything to the brother and sister.
This is also the reason why Lan Yin is dissatisfied.
Ji Yunshu didn't expect Zhao Shen to do anything to Zhao Ke. After all, she was fine. If she punished Zhao Ke severely, the clan would not be able to explain.
So she nodded without saying anything.
Zhao Shen didn't expect her to react like this. He looked at her with deep eyes and asked, "Don't you have anything to say?"
