Chapter 618 Who Goes Crazy First
Wei Yuanmin took a sip of tea and said nonchalantly, "This screen was given to my mother by the palace when she got married. Such embroidery is hard to find nowadays. But I know you don't need these things. I don't know who will benefit from it if I keep it, so I'll give it to you."
Her words were too blunt. Ji Yunshu was stunned. He glanced at Yao Ruolan and saw that although she lowered her head and could not see the expression on her face, her hands hanging on both sides of her body were clenched.
Ji Yunshu narrowed his eyes: "No matter what, I still want to thank you."
Wei Yuanmin sneered, "It's nothing else, I just suddenly remembered that you warned me this place was a hell of a place. Unfortunately, I was blinded by love and didn't take your words to heart. Now I'm really getting my comeuppance."
Ji Yunshu laughed dryly: "I was just saying it casually at the time. This concerns your life, so you naturally can't just take my words at face value."
Wei Yuanmin said, "What I regret most now is not listening to you. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world. But it doesn't matter. My life has already been like this, so I can afford to waste it."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
She knew that Wei Yuanmin was not talking to her, so she took a sip of tea and said nothing.
Wei Yuanmin seemed to have just remembered Yao Ruolan at this moment, and said to Ji Yunshu: "I heard that I was coming to your place. My cousin from the Yao family also said she wanted to come, so I brought her with me. She seems to have something to tell you."
Ji Yunshu looked at Yao Ruolan. Yao Ruolan was a little embarrassed and seemed to want to talk to Ji Yunshu alone.
Wei Yuanmin saw what she meant and sneered, "If you don't want to tell me, go back. If you still want to stay in my yard, you have to abide by my rules. If you get a little scratched, the Second Young Master will blame me. If you leave my sight, who will be responsible if something happens?"
Yao Ruolan could no longer maintain her previous calmness. Her face turned red, but she couldn't refute a single word.
A rare glint of malice flashed in her eyes: "My cousin cares about me, what can I do? If the young lady is angry, she can vent it on my cousin. Why would she embarrass me?"
If it were in the past, these words would have hurt Wei Yuanmin's heart, but now, she no longer cares.
She said calmly, "When you climbed into a man's bed without any status, why didn't you think about being embarrassed? Didn't you bring this embarrassment upon yourself? Oh, and your dear cousin, don't say that you are the one he loves most. It's ridiculous to hear that. If he loves you, why doesn't he marry you?"
Yao Ruolan's fig leaf was lifted. She looked pale, her whole body was shaking, and her eyes involuntarily looked at Ji Yunshu.
Ji Yunshu was impressed by Wei Yuanmin's fighting ability. This matter had nothing to do with her, and she did not sympathize with Yao Ruolan, so she pretended not to notice Yao Ruolan's gaze and continued to drink tea with her head down.
Wei Yuanmin continued, "What are you looking at the Crown Prince's wife doing? Do you think she owes you anything? You climbed into the groom's bed on their wedding night. I don't know how you had the nerve to do that. You saw it too. Even without Ji Yunshu, I'm still here. Anyway, your good cousin just won't marry you."
Yao Ruolan said coldly, "I don't have a noble background like you, but it's not my fault. You don't have to ridicule me like this."
Wei Yuanmin said contemptuously, "Your background is none of my business, but Zhao Heng wants to marry a noble lady. You keep saying he loves you, but I don't know where you stand in his heart."
Her family was defeated, but as long as she was alive, Zhao Heng would not dare to do anything to her.
Does Zhao Heng dare to kill her now?
Thinking of this, the contempt in Wei Yuanmin's eyes became even greater.
After the image of savior was broken, Zhao Heng had become a shameless man in her eyes who had accomplished nothing and wanted to climb up the social ladder by relying on his wife's family, but was unwilling to even give them the most basic respect.
She didn't know why she was so blinded by his kindness and thought he was a good man.
If he was really a good man, he would not have done such a thing as leaving his bride on their wedding night to hang out with another woman.
Moreover, if a man has a lover but still marries someone else for power, it is clearly a character issue.
Ji Yunshu didn't expect that these two people had completely torn their faces apart and didn't hide anything in front of him.
After the mood of watching the show faded, he became a little impatient: "Miss Yao, just say whatever you want to tell me. Second brother's wife is not an outsider. It's okay for her to listen."
Yao Ruolan actually wanted to ask Ji Yunshu to go to the Queen Mother and plead for her to cancel the imperial decree that forbade Zhao Heng to give her any status.
As long as the Queen Mother gave in, she would be confident that her cousin could give her the status of a co-wife.
Coupled with her cousin's favor towards her, she will be able to surpass Wei Yuanmin.
Originally, she was somewhat confident. Ji Yunshu had no feelings for Zhao Heng, and she decisively remarried Zhao Shen on her wedding night.
Nowadays, who in the capital doesn’t envy Ji Yunshu’s good luck?
Moreover, she knew that Ji Yunshu was a soft-hearted person, and she had once given her advice without holding any grudges.
But now, after Wei Yuanmin said those words, she couldn't speak anymore.
With her mind racing, she simply said, "I just want to talk to someone."
Wei Yuanmin knew she was lying at first sight, but he didn't expose her. Instead, he sneered, "Who do you think you are? How dare you come to the Crown Prince's wife to chat with you about how to seduce men?"
Ji Yunshu was almost choked by her outspokenness.
As the heroine, Yao Ruolan still had some fighting spirit. She said calmly, "The Crown Prince's wife doesn't need to hook up with men. But you, my cousin, might need it. Otherwise, my husband never goes to your room. It would be so embarrassing if people tell others about it."
Wei Yuanmin was so angry that he laughed: "It seems that you are very proud of your method of seducing men. Don't worry, there will be plenty of men for you to seduce in the future."
There was a hint of hostility in her words. Yao Ruolan didn't know what she was thinking about. She couldn't help but shudder and her face turned pale.
She knew that Yao Ruolan was not just threatening her, she really wanted to be humiliated.
Ji Yunshu shook her head. She used to think that Yao Ruolan was not a very stupid person. Her current situation was just because she was too stubborn.
But now it seems that she was wrong.
Yao Ruolan should have seen through Zhao Heng for what kind of person he is, but now she still has expectations for so-called love.
Is this the effect of the plot?
She couldn't figure it out, but since things had come to this, she didn't bother to care. The two of them were so hostile even when talking to each other, it was obvious how they got along on a daily basis.
Wei Yuanmin could clearly let Yao Ruolan live in a yard of her own, out of sight, out of mind, but he insisted on keeping her in front of him.
If they continue to torture each other like this, who knows who will go crazy first.
As for Yao Ruolan, she probably hasn't figured out yet that there is no point in competing with Wei Yuanmin.
Wei Yuanmin obviously no longer has any feelings for Zhao Heng.
She doesn't hurt anyone but herself by doing this.
But Ji Yunshu was not a saint. She had reminded Yao Ruolan before, but she did not listen to her. Now she did not intend to say anything more.
