Chapter 50: When are you going to tell me you are hurt?
Ji Yunshu rolled his eyes: "If someone pretends to be me, will you admit your mistake?"
Zhao Shen felt that he would not make a mistake, but it was said that the most advanced disguise technique could grind bones and peel skin, turning a person into another person completely.
If that were the case, he wasn't sure he would admit his mistake.
Ji Yunshu sneered: "Smell, everyone has a different smell."
I don’t know if this can be considered a golden finger, but this body’s nose is exceptionally sensitive.
She can smell any unusual smell.
After discovering that Chao Qing had a different smell, it would not be difficult to find other flaws as long as you observe carefully.
Especially Chao Qing acted very uncomfortable in front of her.
Zhao Shen breathed a sigh of relief. If that was the case, then Ji Yunshu was gifted and it was impossible for others to discover the clues in the same way.
He pondered for a moment before speaking again: "I have met Yichen, and he told me what you meant."
Having said that, he paused for a moment before looking at Ji Yunshu again with some inquiry, "You seem very sure that he can get what you want."
Ji Yunshu said nonchalantly, "Hasn't he already made it? It's just that it hasn't reached the power I want. But now that we have a direction, we can always give it a try, right?"
Zhao Shen nodded: "That's what you said."
The carriage fell silent again. Zhao Shen was actually not a talkative person.
In the past, Ji Yunshu always talked to him first, but now he found that when Ji Yunshu didn't speak, he didn't know how to talk to her.
In just a short while, they arrived at the Changxing Marquis' Mansion.
Thinking about the fact that Zhao Shen hurried to the manor before, it was not for himself, but to hide from others.
Ji Yunshu became even angrier.
She jumped off the carriage first and told Mother Li and the maids to pack up the things she brought out of the palace.
As usual, the Queen Mother brought her a bunch of things.
When Zhao Shen returned to the house in a wheelchair, he saw Ji Yunshu asking Lu Ru and Lan Yin to take out some newly acquired cloth to make clothes.
Lu Ru held up a batch of light pink fabric to the sunlight and exclaimed in amazement, "This is the new tribute of Xiaguang brocade this year. I heard that there wasn't enough for the ladies in the palace, and the Empress Dowager actually gave Madam five pieces."
Ji Yunshu felt that he was probably a little too old mentally and didn't like this tender pink color.
But it would be a shame to leave such good material lying around, so he generously said, "This pink one is perfect for making a summer outfit for each of you four."
Although the four girls have their own looks, they are all fifteen or sixteen years old, which is just right for them to wear this kind of girlish color.
Lu Ru swallowed and said, "This is not good. If others knew about this, they would definitely accuse you of being extravagant and wasteful."
The Madam is already eye-catching enough, and if she lets her maid wear such fine material, wouldn't it attract even more criticism?
Ji Yunshu felt that fabric was not a waste if it was worn by someone, but she also knew that others would not think so.
I had no choice but to say, "Then don't wear it outside. No one will gossip if I wear it at home."
Anyway, they don’t have many opportunities to go out, and most of the time they stay in this yard.
Although Lan Yin was touched, she still felt it was inappropriate: "There are many people in the mansion, and this is high-quality material. It would be disrespectful for the servants to wear it. Why should Madam give people a chance to talk?"
Ji Yunshu felt a little regretful: "So, just leave it there like this?"
Lu Ru said: "You can make clothes for Madam. You can make as many as you want."
Ji Yunshu pointed at the box of fabric and asked, "Can I wear all this?"
Lan Yin hesitated for a moment and said, "It's been a while since Madam got married, but she hasn't interacted with the other branches of the mansion yet. It wouldn't be nice to tell anyone about this. The mansion will be hosting the Second Young Master's engagement party soon, so why not give a few of these pieces of fabric to the young ladies of the second and third branches? It's also a token of your gratitude as their sister-in-law."
The interpersonal relationships in the mansion should have been managed from the beginning, but after the incident on the wedding night, the lady simply changed her husband.
Because of his disabled legs, the prince rarely interacted with people in the mansion.
If the Madam doesn't mention it, it would be inappropriate for the servants to make decisions for their master.
However, after observing from the sidelines these days, she found that the lady did not seem to be deliberately distancing herself from the other two families because of the prince, but she simply did not think about such a thing.
Sure enough, after hearing what she said, Ji Yunshu suddenly understood.
No wonder Zhao Fu, the second wife's daughter who had shown kindness to her, never came back.
She patted her forehead and said, "I've been so busy these days that I didn't think about it. Luckily you reminded me. Please pick up some fabrics suitable for the second and third wives and the young ladies and send them over. Of course, don't forget Madam Yao."
No matter what, there is nothing wrong with the Yao family.
Lan Yin responded, and Ji Yunshu said, "You guys should pick a few and make some summer wear."
Lu Ru asked, "Where is the Madam?"
Ji Yunshu had no interest in the first place, so he casually said, "Just do what you see fit."
After the discussion was over, the maids carried the boxes out, and Ji Yunshu went to rest on the soft couch by the window.
Zhao Shen read a book for a while, and judging from Ji Yunshu's breathing, it seemed that he was not asleep yet.
He wheeled his wheelchair in front of her, looked at her carefully for a long time and asked, "Are you angry with me?"
Ji Yunshu felt a little irritated and glared at him unhappily, "You just realized it."
Zhao Shen looked puzzled: "Why are you angry?"
Ji Yunshu sat up and said angrily, "That's a lot. Which one are you asking about?"
"Then tell us one by one."
Ji Yunshu counted on his fingers in a serious manner, "First, what's wrong with your leg? Second, what are you doing secretly? Third..."
As she spoke, her eyes swept over Zhao Shen's body, "When are you going to tell me that you are injured?"
In fact, she smelled the scent of medicine on Zhao Shen as soon as she got on the carriage. He was not a doctor, so he could only be injured.
Even his father, General Ji, had to praise Zhao Shen's kung fu. Who could hurt him?
What dangerous thing is he doing?
When Zhao Shen heard her talking about her legs, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared without a trace, and he returned to his previous calmness.
He raised his hand and rubbed his shoulder and said, "It's just an accidental scratch. It will be healed in a few days."
Ji Yunshu didn't believe his nonsense at all. How could a master like him scratch his shoulder?
And he is obviously avoiding the first two questions.
But this time, Ji Yunshu must get to the bottom of it.
Because she suddenly thought of Zhao Shen's death in the book.
If he was doing something dangerous in private, is it possible that he didn't die of illness at all, but something happened outside?
"Since you've made such thorough preparations and even trained a substitute, I imagine this isn't the first time and won't be the last. If I'm going to cooperate with you in the future, I should at least know what you're doing, right?"
As she spoke, she stared at Zhao Shen closely, trying to read something from his expression.
