Chapter 619 I Don’t Care If They Die
"Okay, come to my place and stop arguing. Third Aunt just came to me to talk about the housekeeper. Why did Madam Yao suddenly become seriously ill and not allow anyone to visit?"
Wei Yuanmin no longer had any favorable impression of Yao. He said leisurely, "Who knows? They say she was frightened. The Marquis personally ordered the courtyard to be sealed. If you didn't know, you would think she had some hereditary disease."
Ji Yunshu was just testing the waters, but when he heard her eyes flicker, he said, "You know it's not a hereditary disease? Then why did you seal off the courtyard?"
Wei Yuanmin smiled and said, "Why are you playing tricks on me? Others may not know about this, but the prince doesn't know either?"
Ji Yunshu said innocently, "The prince and I just came back, what could we possibly know? Besides, it's not like you don't know that the prince and the marquis have a bad relationship."
Wei Yuanmin glanced at Yao Ruolan and suddenly felt that there were some things that could not be kept secret.
Doesn’t Yao Ruolan think that Yao and Zhao Heng are her backers?
She personally shattered her fantasy and let her know that the two of them were now in danger.
Wei Yuanmin then spoke frankly, "I didn't know this before. It was only after this incident that I realized our mother-in-law is a real heroine. She fell ill at this critical moment, either because she felt guilty or because she was afraid of being implicated. The Marquis must have discovered something, so he sealed the courtyard."
Yao Ruolan understood the meaning of the words and was shocked. She said sternly, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could my aunt be related to...? Do you want to kill everyone?"
After Prince Yong rebelled, the emperor ruthlessly purged a wave of people, and anyone who had anything to do with Prince Yong was not spared.
Now is the time when everyone is in danger.
Wei Yuanmin said indifferently, "What am I afraid of? Anyway, my mother is Prince Yong's biological sister, and I am his niece. This fact cannot be changed in any way. The emperor has already dealt with those who should be dealt with. The prince is now in a very important position. Since the marquis has locked them up, it means that this matter will not affect other people in the marquisate. As for Yao and Zhao Heng, I don't care if they die."
Her last words were full of hostility, and the hatred in them was evident.
Yao Ruolan was shocked by these words and her heart was pounding with fear for a moment.
She was not stupid and had long noticed the strangeness of Yao's illness.
After all, no disease would occur so suddenly, and the Marquis doesn't allow anyone to visit him.
Ever since Zhao Heng failed the college entrance exam last time, he has doubted whether he can get into high school and has been in a depressed mood these days.
If his aunt really has a relationship with Prince Yong, and the Marquis has never liked Zhao Heng, then he will probably never have a chance to make a name for himself in his life.
For a moment, Yao Ruolan felt like the sky was falling.
Her only hope now is that Zhao Heng can pass the high school entrance examination. Then he may be able to leave Beijing for a new job and take her with him. Then they may have a chance to reconcile.
But this idea seems to be impossible to realize forever.
Does she really have to stay in Zhao Heng's backyard for the rest of her life and be an unknown and powerless plaything?
She knew that Wei Yuanmin was right. She was not the most important person in her cousin's heart, so he married other people again and again.
But now, what else can she do except believe in her cousin's feelings?
Yao Ruolan felt a little disheartened for a moment, and without caring that she was still in Ji Yunshu's room, she said goodbye and left.
Ji Yunshu looked at her back thoughtfully: "Your words seemed to have hit her hard?"
Wei Yuanmin sneered, "She was counting on Zhao Heng to be so successful that he could take her out of the mansion. Unfortunately, Zhao Heng is a loser, a complete failure. He can't leave home, and he can't protect her. She can only continue to suffer my torture. Thinking about the endless days like this, how can she not be devastated?"
Ji Yunshu: "Do you really hate her that much?"
This time, Wei Yuanmin was very different from the previous time. Although her words and actions showed a kind of recklessness that didn't care about anything, it might be because of a sudden change. Ji Yunshu could see that she had figured out a lot.
Especially his attitude towards Zhao Heng, which had undergone a drastic change.
If it could be said before that her love for Zhao Heng turned into hate, now it seems that she doesn't even have any hatred anymore.
She simply couldn't stand Zhao Heng and Yao Ruolan being together.
Wei Yunmin didn't answer her, but instead asked, "What about you? Do you really not hate him? I don't believe you still haven't figured out why he married you in the first place."
Zhao Heng wanted to marry a noble lady from a high-class family, and Ji Yunshu was not an ordinary noble lady. The Yao family had a relationship with Prince Yong. This time, when the troops were sent from Mobei, Prince Yong was plotting a rebellion. Who would believe that the two had no connection?
So Zhao Heng married Ji Yunshu for the military power of the Ji family.
If Zhao Heng succeeded, he would definitely step on the blood of the Ji family to allow Yao Ruolan to enter the family openly.
No matter who this happens to, it is impossible to face it calmly.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I hate it, so I'm happy to see that they are not doing well now."
Of course, she was not a saint. Although nothing happened, it was because she avoided it herself, not because Yao and Zhao Heng had never had such thoughts.
So she won't hide her hatred.
Wei Yuanmin seemed to be surprised by her frankness. After a pause, he smiled and said, "You dare to say anything. But it's also true that with your current status, there is really nothing to hide. In that case, why keep them?"
When she said those words, there was no surprise on Ji Yunshu's face, which meant that she had known it for a long time.
Why didn't Ji Yunshu use such a ready-made crime?
Even if it cannot be dealt with publicly for the sake of the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, it can always be done in private.
After all, Wei Yuanmin had been a princess of the royal family for so many years and was accustomed to such things.
Ji Yunshu then understood Wei Yuanmin's intention. He deliberately revealed the matter related to Yao and Prince Yong in order to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
She shook her head and said, "The Marquis has already locked him up. As a junior, it's not my place to interfere."
Wei Yuanmin could never understand the Marquis's attitude. He had originally shown that he disliked Yao and Zhao Heng very much, but locking Yao up at this time seemed like protecting her.
"But could the Marquis tolerate her colluding with Prince Yong? This would bring disaster to the entire family."
When Ji Yunshu heard this, he understood Wei Yuanmin's intention in telling him this. She was testing the Marquis's attitude.
Lord Zhao is a reclusive person who rarely sees people. If Zhao Shen wants to see him, he can go find him, but Clawshen is afraid that he can't even see the person, let alone his daughters-in-law.
It is normal that Wei Yuanmin does not understand Lord Zhao.
Ji Yunshu had no idea what the Marquis was trying to do, and even if he knew, he would not tell Wei Yuanmin.
She shook her head and said, "I've been married into the Marquis' Mansion for so long, and I can count the number of times I've seen the Marquis on one hand. How could I know what he's thinking? But since he's been locked up, it won't affect the rest of the mansion, right?"
Wei Yuanmin said, "With you and Zhao Shen in the Marquis' Mansion, the Emperor will certainly show mercy. But are you willing to let her escape like this? You weren't in the capital a few days ago, so you don't know what happened to those who had connections with Prince Yong. Even my mother didn't escape. After all, Prince Yong is from the royal family, and my mother isn't the only one who is related to him."
