Chapter 621 Underestimating Zhao Heng
Ji Yunshu felt that Lord Zhao was a little worrying, but he obviously had his own plans and didn't want others to interfere in his and Yao's affairs.
"Well, we are not idle and have nothing to do, so we have to take care of these things."
Zhao Shen rubbed her head and said, "Well, there's nothing wrong with being idle. Whoever wants to take care of these trivial matters can do so."
Ji Yunshu clapped his hands in dissatisfaction: "Then I'll just wait and see. Wei Yuanmin and Yao Ruolan are not in a good state. I feel like these two are ready to drag each other to death at any time."
Zhao Shen frowned and warned again: "Stay away from them."
Ji Yunshu: "We live in the same mansion, how far apart can we be? What's Zhao Heng's situation now?"
She had been back for two days and had not seen Zhao Heng yet. She heard that he had been away from home for several days and she didn't know where he had gone.
Zhao Shen said, "It's a waste of time for him to stay in the academy. He's not particularly talented to begin with, and now there's no hope of him getting into high school."
Ji Yunshu was surprised: "Didn't he protect Yao Ruolan like the apple of his eye before? How can he leave her alone in the mansion now?"
Zhao Shen said, "Even if he's worried, he can't always protect Yao Ruolan. He must have reached some kind of agreement with Wei Yuanmin to ensure that Wei Yuanmin won't harm Yao Ruolan."
Ji Yunshu didn't think Wei Yuanmin would be someone who would abide by the agreement.
Now Yao Ruolan may still have hope for Zhao Heng, after all, Zhao Heng really has feelings for her.
But Wei Yuanmin had completely lost hope.
If the eldest princess was not still alive, Ji Yunshu couldn't imagine what Wei Yuanmin would do.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunshu suddenly said, "What else can Zhao Heng use to convince Wei Yuanmin not to touch Yao Ruolan? Could it be related to the eldest princess?"
Zhao Shen had a lot on his mind and didn't have the time to pay attention to Zhao Heng. After hearing what she said, he smiled and said, "It seems we underestimated Zhao Heng."
Everything changed since Ji Yunshu married him.
Without Ji Yunshu as his ladder to heaven, and with the constant unrest in his backyard, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Zhao Heng was in a slump.
He no longer paid attention to him.
Now it seems that Yao has been imprisoned, but Zhao Heng, as her son, has not made any move. This in itself is very abnormal.
You should know that Zhao Heng still respects his mother Yao very much.
Ji Yunshu said, "It's because Wei Yuanmin and Yao Ruolan were making such a big fuss that we overlooked Zhao Heng."
Zhao Shen nodded: "I'll have someone check it out. He's that man's son after all, so who knows what they might find out."
Ji Yunshu felt that even if Zhao Heng was not the son of Prince Yong, he was still the son of Yao.
Yao was obviously under house arrest, but Zhao Heng was still able to keep his troops in place, which showed that he had something to rely on.
No wonder Lord Zhao was not in a hurry to deal with the mother and son, and did not allow Zhao Shen to intervene.
Ji Yunshu rested well for a few days before starting to check the accounts of the shops in the capital.
Of course, she has people who are responsible for checking the accounts, but she just takes a quick look to make sure she is not being fooled.
At the same time, I also have a rough idea of the shop's income and expenditure.
It was discovered that Prince Yong's rebellion did not have a big impact on the business. In fact, after Prince Yong's accident, the shop even made a substantial profit.
After a moment's thought, she understood what was going on.
Zhao Shen and the Ji family firmly stand on the emperor's side.
People in the capital are all smart people, so they naturally know how to please others without being noticeable.
No matter what, having money is always a good thing.
She was happily looking at the account book when Lu Ru came in with a plate of small cakes and said, "Madam, please try this. Is this what you want?"
Ji Yunshu's eyes lit up. Before she came back, she had already discussed with Cen Xi about opening a dessert shop.
If you want to do business, the formula must be precise.
It has to be said that cooking is something that requires a lot of talent, and Lu Ru undoubtedly has the most talent in cooking.
The cakes she made were so delicious that you could smell their sweet fragrance as soon as you walked in the door.
Moreover, the roasted color is golden, which obviously shows that the heat is well controlled.
Ji Yunshu tasted one and found it tasted better than the one baked by the cook in Wuning before.
She praised: "Not bad, just follow this recipe, and you can also try making the other things I told you."
Lu Ru was very happy to be praised: "As long as my wife likes it, I specially processed the milk used in this, and it doesn't have any fishy smell. It tastes much better. I also added honey and reduced the amount of sugar, so it's not as sweet, but it tastes more fragrant."
Ji Yunshu: "Well done, keep it up."
This must be the legendary genius. She can draw inferences about a thousand things by drawing inferences from one thing.
Lu Ru nodded like pecking at rice: "Yes, I will try my best. You are going to open a shop, so I will definitely research the most delicious recipe. I am also making a few other dishes, but the kneading of the dough requires some effort."
Ji Yunshu nodded: "Take your time, there's no rush."
After hearing this, Lu Ru rushed to the kitchen again as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
Lan Yin said helplessly, "With Madam praising her so much, she probably won't even need to sleep. She'll have to work all night to make all those things."
"This girl is stubborn. You should keep an eye on her and don't let her stay in the kitchen all day long."
Ji Yunshu moved the small cake towards her and said, "Try it too. Lu Ru's cooking skills are really good."
Lan Yin shook her head and refused: "Lü Ru has been cooking in the kitchen for two days. At first, it wasn't very good, so she gave it all to us to eat. Now the whole yard is filled with this smell. It smells so good, I'm afraid no one in our yard can eat it anymore."
Ji Yunshu laughed: "So that's how it is. I haven't been out much these days, so I didn't notice it. If you really can't finish it, you can send it to other courtyards. Marquis, Third Madam, or at least send some to the Second Young Master's Madam."
Although Wei Yuanmin's condition was not right, it was not to the point where everyone regarded him as an enemy.
It is still necessary to build relationships.
Lan Yin hesitated: "But we are not close to the people in the mansion, and it is easy to tamper with the food."
Ji Yunshu thought about it and agreed. Especially since the eggs and milk in the cake could cause allergies, it would be troublesome if something happened.
Thinking of this, she wrote a letter to Cen Xi, asking her to pay attention to the allergy issue when opening a shop.
At the same time, he said to Lan Yin, "Forget it. We finally have some peaceful days to live, so we should stop causing trouble."
She was planning to open a shop and had no time to take care of other things.
A few days later, the third lady sent an invitation, which was the birthday of the Princess of Lin'an.
Lan Yin knew that Ji Yunshu didn't like to attend these banquets, but Ji Yunshu had a good relationship with Xiao Yue, and the Lin'an County Prince's Mansion was different after all.
Ji Yunshu took the post and looked at it for a while before asking, "Is Xiao Yue married?"
She was away for half a year, during which time a lot of things happened in the capital.
Xiao Yue's marriage was arranged before she left.
Lan Yin nodded. "Last autumn, when I returned to the capital, the Prince's Mansion agreed on a wedding date with Master Lan. The process went very quickly, and Miss Xiao got married before the New Year."
Ji Yunshu felt a little disappointed: "So soon, how are they doing after marriage?"
Back then, she was quite looking forward to the couple getting married.
