Chapter 435 Revenge
Liu Yan hid the dark glint in her eyes and advised, "No, she's not the type to overthink things. Now she's heartbroken, how could she possibly think that much? We don't have time either. If we miss this opportunity, she won't be able to get close to us, and all our efforts before will be in vain."
Liu Ze thought what she said made sense, so he stood up and said, "Then I'll go see her."
Liu Yan squeezed the handkerchief in her hand and asked with a smile, "Do you need me to accompany you?"
Liu Ze glanced at her and said, "What's the point of you going? I'm not so bad that I can't even handle a woman."
Liu Yan did not insist: "Then I will wait for your good news."
Watching Liu Ze leave, her heart beat faster, a dark light surged in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
She thought Liu Ze would not be back for a while, and was about to go back to her tent. After walking a few steps outside, she saw Liu Ze walking back with a gloomy face.
She hurried over to him and asked, "Why did Second Brother come back so soon?"
Liu Ze was obviously very angry. He ignored her and quickly returned to his tent.
Liu Yan had no choice but to follow him in: "Could it be that Miss Yun didn't accept Second Brother's kindness?"
Liu Ze said coldly, "She has an expert protecting her. He said no one can get close without her order."
Liu Yan was surprised: "Master? How master? Why didn't we notice it before?"
Liu Ze said, "Anyway, no one around me is a match for her. Didn't you investigate everyone around her before? How could you miss such an important thing?"
Liu Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Second brother knows that I don't know martial arts, so how can you tell who is the master?"
Liu Ze thought about the scene where he was just turned away and felt angry. He sat down and drank a cup of tea to calm down.
"It seems the family behind her is even more powerful than we thought, able to let such a master protect a girl. The previous plan is no longer feasible. Let's take it slow. She is unfamiliar with this place, and even if she arrives at the royal court, she will need us to rely on her for many things."
Although his plan was interrupted by this sudden appearance of an expert, Liu Ze was no longer so angry when he thought that the benefits that Ji Yunshu could bring might be greater than he originally expected.
He even started thinking about how to slowly win Ji Yunshu's favor.
Now that Zhao Shen is dead, she is alone with the caravan in Mobei, which is indeed a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
His idea was good, but this was not the situation Liu Yan wanted.
Liu Ze could slowly impress Ji Yunshu, but she didn't have that much time.
When she arrives at the Mobei royal court, she will be given to the Mobei people.
She thought for a moment and said, "Second brother, you've been very thoughtful, but delays can lead to unexpected consequences. Just seeing Miss Yun go against the family's wishes and come to a place like this with a man, we know she's not one to follow the rules. How can we be sure that the people around her haven't thought about what we're thinking about? That master, he's also a man, right?"
Liu Ze's expression turned fierce. "He's just a dog raised by the Yun family at most. How dare he covet his master?"
Liu Yan shrugged innocently: "People's hearts are hard to predict. If Miss Yun had stayed at home peacefully, he wouldn't have dared to have any other thoughts. But in a place like this..."
That person not only has the advantage of being close to the water, but Miss Yun also relies on him for protection.
Even if he really did something, who can do anything to him?
It’s not that Liu Yan wants to think the worst of people, but she has seen too much over the years.
When the master of a household is in trouble, the first people to harbor evil intentions are often the servants around him.
Liu Ze hesitated for a moment before saying, "You're right, but I can't deal with that person now, and I can't get close to Miss Yun. What can I do?"
He felt a little annoyed when talking about this.
Just now he was stopped in front of Ji Yunshu's tent, and he even asked someone to inform him, but the woman started talking about the difference between men and women.
She is a slut, but she acts so proudly.
Liu Yan said, "The bandits attacked, and while we were all safe, her lover was taken away. It's only natural that she would be suspicious of us. It's better for me to approach her and find out what she has to say."
Liu Ze heard that she was only thinking about herself and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help. If she really refuses to budge, we can try other methods. Don't worry, once this is accomplished, I won't treat you unfairly."
Liu Yan showed a happy smile on her face: "Thank you very much, second brother."
As she spoke, she walked out of the tent and went towards Ji Yunshu again.
When Ji Yunshu heard her coming, he didn't let anyone stop her. He just said impatiently, "You two brothers are taking turns to fight. What are you trying to do?"
Liu Yan looked at her carefully and saw that she was pale, looked haggard, and her eyes were a little red, obviously she had been crying.
"Sister Yun, did you misunderstand something? Second brother said it was his fault for not being able to protect Master Ming, which is why he suffered this misfortune. So he wanted to come and apologize to you."
She retreated to advance, thinking that if she said this first, Ji Yunshu would not be able to say anything.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yunshu said with some resentment, "What's the point of apologizing? There are so many people, why don't those bandits rob anyone else, but Ah Cheng?"
Liu Yan lowered her eyes and said, "No one wants something like this to happen, but we've also lost several guards. Sister Yun's words are really disheartening."
Ji Yunshu said unreasonably, "What are your guards? How can they be compared with my Ah Cheng?"
Liu Yan had dealt with her sisters at home before, and had seen some difficult ones before, but the domineering look of the woman in front of her made her disgusted to the extreme.
If it weren't for her own plan, she wouldn't want to serve such a difficult young lady.
"Sister Yun is right. Calm down. My second brother also thinks it's his fault, so he wants to come and apologize to you. How about you meet him?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "What's the point of him apologizing? Can my Ah Cheng come back? How can I, a woman, see a man other than myself?"
Liu Yan almost wanted to curse. How dare you, a lady from a wealthy family who eloped with a man, say such things?
"Look at me. I've been so close to you these days that I think my brother is also your brother. I've forgotten the distinction between men and women. Don't mind it, sister. How about I stay with you for a while?"
Ji Yunshu glanced at her and said, "Don't you have anything to do? I see you've been here for quite some time. When are you leaving?"
Liu Yan was puzzled and said, "Sister, you are very frail and you are feeling very sad right now, so it's not suitable for you to travel quickly. It won't hurt to leave a day or two later."
Ji Yunshu's eyes were red as he said, "I'm sorry for delaying you. I originally wanted to use this trip to Mobei to avoid my family and let them know that I can survive away from home. Who knew..."
She sobbed for a long time before continuing, "I don't have the heart to move on now. You can go on your own and leave me alone."
Liu Yan couldn't understand how a good woman could humiliate herself to this extent for a man.
She used her handkerchief to wipe Ji Yunshu's tears and advised, "This place is a mess. How can we siblings leave my sister behind? What if those bandits come back?"
Ji Yunshu sneered: "I'm just worried that they won't come. It just so happens that I also want to find them to avenge Ah Cheng."
