Chapter 577 You and Me
Ji Yunshu buried her face in Zhao Shen's arms, her voice muffled: "Yes, everything is different now. I still have you."
And she might never be able to go back.
In fact, Xiao Kun's words touched her heart. If she could go back, she would definitely go back.
She could regard everything here as a dream.
Back to reality, maybe she will never meet another Zhao Shen in her life, but love is not everything in life.
She can live well on her own.
No one will come to assassinate her, so there is no need to worry that one day her whole family will be convicted and end up in a miserable situation.
She loves Zhao Shen, but she loves herself more.
Zhao Shen held her tightly in his arms and whispered, "Yes, you still have me, so don't leave, okay?"
His voice was soft, making people feel inexplicably sad.
Ji Yunshu poked his chest with his finger and said, "I can't leave even if I want to."
After she finished speaking, she saw Zhao Shen's deep eyes looking at her. She lowered her head with a guilty conscience and changed the subject: "You haven't told me what's going on in the mansion? There must be a reason why the Marquis didn't reveal Zhao Heng's background. Didn't you ask?"
Zhao Shen didn't dwell on the previous topic and replied, "If he doesn't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. Anyway, at this point, what happened to Zhao Heng is irrelevant."
Even though he didn't know why, he could clearly realize that Zhao Heng was no longer the Zhao Heng who could not be moved.
"You're right. What about Wei Yuanmin? The princess helped Prince Yong in his rebellion. Wasn't she implicated?"
Zhao Shen shook his head. "Although the Emperor is angry with Prince Yong, he doesn't want to implicate anyone unrelated. Wei Yuanmin is a married woman, and the Emperor has only revoked her title of Princess."
Ji Yunshu sighed, "But without the support of the eldest princess and having lost her title, her status will be affected."
Zhao Shen nodded. "She tortured Yao Ruolan to such an extent a few days ago that Zhao Heng couldn't stand it anymore. He wanted to divorce her. After the eldest princess was locked up, Yao agreed, but my father disagreed."
"Ah?" Ji Yunshu didn't expect such a turn of events. "Doesn't the Marquis take care of things?"
Zhao Shen sneered: "He only seems to be indifferent on the surface. What do you think is going on in the Marquis' Mansion that he doesn't know?"
Ji Yunshu was puzzled. "But why didn't the Marquis allow Zhao Heng to divorce his wife? If she left, the mansion would be more peaceful. Isn't that a good thing?"
Wei Yuanmin's love for Zhao Heng turned into hatred, and it was obvious that he would not give up easily.
If she continued to stay in the Marquis' Mansion, it would only cause unrest in the whole household.
Although Ji Yunshu felt that there was nothing wrong with Wei Yuanmin's revenge on Zhao Heng, if there was a chance, leaving would be a better choice.
Why waste your best life getting entangled with bad people and bad things?
"You think my father is some kindhearted man? No matter what Yao Shi used to control him for so many years, it is a fact that Yao Shi plotted against him to kill my mother. He will not let her have an easy time. The more miserable Yao Shi and Zhao Heng are, the happier he is. In this situation, do you think he will let Zhao Heng divorce his wife?"
Ji Yunshu: “…”
She was silent for a moment before she said, "You know very well that everything the Marquis did was for you, right? The only thing Yao can control about him is you. The antidote to the poison in you might be in Yao's hands."
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "It's not something difficult to guess, but since he doesn't say it, I'll just pretend I don't know. As for Yao, she's smart and knows very well that my father's patience with her is limited. Now that Prince Yong has failed, she won't dare to do anything in the short term."
Lord Zhao and Yao both knew each other's bottom line very well.
Lord Zhao’s bottom line is Zhao Shen, and Yao’s bottom line is Zhao Heng.
The only thing Yao could threaten Lord Zhao with was Zhao Shen's life, but she would not dare to perish along with him unless it was absolutely necessary.
Divorce is a big deal, and Zhao Heng cannot divorce her without the consent of Lord Zhao.
Ji Yunshu, who had sorted out his thoughts, didn't know what to say for a moment. Zhao Shen smiled and said, "Don't worry, my father will definitely remind Wei Yuanmin and tell her not to go too far. Nothing will happen for a while. Maybe we can still have a good show to watch when we go back."
Ji Yunshu: "...I don't really like watching such a good show."
Zhao Shen said, "I thought you were concerned about what would happen to Zhao Heng and Yao Ruolan."
Ji Yunshu sighed, "I was very concerned at the beginning, but it has developed to this point, and it seems to have turned into a bloody farce."
The male and female protagonists in sad novels are sad enough when you read the books.
Now I realize that if this happens in real life, it will only be more cruel.
Now, Yao Ruolan has not only become an unknown woman beside Zhao Heng, but also has no hope of making a breakthrough.
With the Empress Dowager's decree, even if Zhao Heng divorced Wei Yuanmin, he could not marry Yao Ruolan.
According to Yao's previous thinking, she most likely wanted to find another noble lady for her son.
Unfortunately, Zhao Heng’s reputation is now ruined. If he divorces his wife again, no woman would be willing to marry him.
The Yao family would not tolerate Yao Ruolan, who had ruined her son's future.
And even if Zhao Heng really doesn't marry again and has no future, and stays with Yao Ruolan all day long, how much love can he afford to consume in the daily life of firewood, rice, oil and salt?
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but wonder why Wei Yuanmin was doing this.
Look, even if they do nothing, Zhao Heng and Yao Ruolan will not have an easy life.
Zhao Shen immediately understood what she meant. "Didn't you say Zhao Heng and Yao Ruolan were the protagonists of the storybook? Now you seem to be pessimistic about them?"
Ji Yunshu asked back, "Are you optimistic?"
Zhao Shen said indifferently: "Whatever happens to them has nothing to do with me."
Okay, just treat her question as a waste of time.
She couldn't help but lean over to his ear and ask, "How do you manage to have two people on the bed and under the bed?"
This person looks pure and innocent when he gets out of bed, but it's completely different when he gets in bed.
Zhao Shen held her in his arms and said, "I'm not two people, one on the bed and one under the bed. I'm two people, you and someone else. If you don't believe me, let's try it under the bed."
Ji Yunshu found that he had become even more shameless after being away for some time.
Think about it, at the beginning she would blush at the slightest teasing, but now she can remain calm even when hearing such words.
She quickly pushed him away and glared at him: "Stay away from me."
Zhao Shen smiled and pulled the person back: "Don't worry, I won't touch you. Let's talk properly."
Ji Yunshu found a comfortable position and leaned into his arms: "Is there anything else to say?"
I slept late last night and just had another ordeal.
The sun was still shining in from outside, the room was warm, and Ji Yunshu felt drowsy.
At this moment, she suddenly heard Zhao Shen say, "Tell me about Xiao Kun. I heard you were looking for him?"
"Who told you that?"
After blurting out these words, Ji Yunshu's sleepiness disappeared instantly.
She secretly cursed those people below for being too talkative. Was it necessary to tell Zhao Shen about any little thing?
But she also knew that she would have to tell him sooner or later.
After carefully choosing his words, he said, "He has helped us a lot. If we didn't know, it would be fine. But now that we know he might be in danger, we can't just ignore his safety."
Zhao Shen stared at her, his eyes dark. "This is a matter between him and Prince Yong and his son. How do you want to intervene?"
