Chapter 625 He is missing
Zhao Shen was thoughtful after hearing this: "You are right, it is indeed a bit strange. I will let people pay attention to it."
Ji Yunshu looked at him suspiciously: "Don't you have any guesses in your mind?"
Zhao Shen said, "After all, the Yu family is far away in Jiangnan. They have intermarried with the royal family and many aristocratic families. There has never been anything wrong with them before. We know very little about their family. It is meaningless to speculate about things we don't understand."
Ji Yunshu complained, "What on earth are these people in the imperial court thinking? They keep staring at my father, who has no other thoughts, all day long, while they don't have any defense against the local tyrants in Jiangnan."
The aristocratic families in Jiangnan are intertwined and many families have served as officials for generations and have abundant political and economic capital. Aren't such families worthy of attention?
Zhao Shen discovered that she was truly filled with resentment towards the Emperor. "You should know that a rebellion by scholars would take three years to succeed, but a rebellion by military generals and mercenaries could reach the capital in no time. The aristocratic families in Jiangnan have existed for many years and have long since reached some kind of compromise with the court. They won't do anything rashly."
Ji Yunshu sneered: "Then what's going on now? Don't tell me it was Prince Yong who forced them to do this."
A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Now, King Yong may have to look at the faces of those Jiangnan nobles.
Zhao Shen felt that this question was too difficult to explain immediately, so he changed the subject: "No matter what the Yu family is planning, since Princess Rong'an has revealed her intention today, this matter is not over yet. How do you plan to send them away?"
Ji Yunshu squinted at him and said, "They're coming for you, why should I send them away?"
Zhao Shen took her hand and said, "Because I am yours, it is only right that you handle this matter."
Ji Yunshu wanted to withdraw his hand, but he couldn't pull it back. He could only say: "I think Miss Yu Qi is a smart person. She might work hard on you."
Ultimately, this matter still depends on the man. Zhao Shen wants to bring the person back to the mansion, so how can Ji Yunshu refuse?
Zhao Shen stared at Ji Yunshu with his dark eyes: "You don't believe me?"
Ji Yunshu looked at his dark eyes and suddenly asked, "What did your father think at the time?"
This is not a matter of belief or not.
Lord Zhao has no intention of cheating, but to Madam Shen, what difference does it make?
Mrs. Shen has been dead for more than 20 years now, and Yao has taken her place and lived a life of luxury for more than 20 years.
Ji Yunshu felt that no matter how Lord Zhao wanted to take revenge on the Yao family, it didn't matter.
Zhao Shen stared at Ji Yunshu closely, his tone calm: "I'm not my father. No one in this world can threaten me to marry someone else. If anything happens to you, I will let those people go with you and will never let them live another day."
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "How do you know your father hasn't thought about this?"
Zhao Shen said, "I don't know what he's thinking, and I'm not interested. But I can assure you, what happened to my father will never happen to me."
Ji Yunshu didn't know how he could make such a promise, but he didn't ask any further questions. At least he was sincere in what he said at this moment.
"I trust you."
Zhao Shen held her in his arms and said softly, "Don't worry..."
Ji Yunshu thought it was going to rain, and there were some things she couldn’t worry about.
After the two returned to the Marquis' Mansion, Ji Yunshu finally remembered Xiao Yue and asked Zhao Shen, "Do you know what Lan Ting has been busy with recently? Xiao Yue said he never comes home."
Zhao Shen didn't leave, but sat by the window reading a book. When he heard her question, he said without even looking up, "Can't you guess what he's busy with?"
After leaving the house, Ji Yunshu leaned listlessly on the couch and said, "How could I have guessed? He's already married, why is he running around all day instead of just living a good life?"
Zhao Shen laughed and said, "You're really good to Xiao Yue. Not only did you act as a matchmaker for her, but you even worried about whether she'll be happy after marriage."
Ji Yunshu was puzzled: "I was just asking casually, why are you being so sarcastic?"
Zhao Shen picked up a candied fruit from the plate beside him and ate it. He found it was a dried apricot after taking a bite. He said calmly, "Hmm, the dried apricots this year are a bit sour."
Ji Yunshu glared at him angrily: "Can you please talk properly?"
The Lanting incident is most likely related to Xiao Kun, but Xiao Kun is a living person, can't we even mention him?
Zhao Shen took a sip of tea before saying, "Ask him yourself."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
Zhao Shen raised his voice: "Does the foot of the wall sound good?"
As he finished speaking, a man jumped in from the window.
It was Lanting that the two had just been talking about.
Ji Yunshu looked at the man and said, "You are a person of status now. Why didn't you just leave the door and jumped out the window?"
Lan Ting sat down on a chair and said, "The capital is in chaos right now. Who knows who's watching us? It's better not to let anyone know about my dealings with you."
Ji Yunshu: "Since you are so considerate and understanding, why don't you explain it clearly to Xiao Yue and stop her from having random thoughts?"
Lan Ting's expression darkened when he heard this: "I don't want to involve her in these things."
Ji Yunshu: "I just wanted to make things clear with her. How could she be involved? Besides, you're already married. Is it possible that if something happens to you, she will be implicated uncontrollably?"
Lan Ting was still hesitant: "But she knew that those things would only make her worry and would not help."
Ji Yunshu rolled his eyes at him. "Do you know what she's thinking now? Do you think you regret marrying her? Maybe she's keeping another woman outside, so that's why she doesn't come home all day?"
Lan Ting had never thought about this and was shocked when she heard it: "I've been so busy these days, how can I have time to be involved with other women?"
Ji Yunshu shrugged: "You know the harem is so small, it's not surprising that women are bored all day long and think about anything."
Lan Ting still couldn't make up her mind: "But I don't know how to tell her those things."
Ji Yunshu felt that what Zhao Shen said was right, and he was really worrying too much.
After persuading the wife, she also gives advice to the husband. It would be a pity if she didn't charge some consulting fees.
"Xiao Yue isn't as stupid as you think. She'll understand a lot of things if you just mention them. You have to let her know what you're doing. Otherwise, it'll be hard for her to stop thinking about things when she's alone at home."
Lan Ting nodded: "I understand."
Zhao Shen, who was reading a book nearby, listened to the two of them finish talking about Xiao Yue before speaking coldly, "You didn't sneak in here just to say this nonsense, did you?"
To Lanting, those words were not nonsense at all.
He also noticed that Xiao Yue was a little depressed recently, but he didn't know how to comfort her.
Ji Yunshu's words were very timely.
It is better for couples to be honest with each other.
Xiao Yue really needs to know what kind of person he is and what he is doing.
But he was in no mood to argue with Zhao Shen.
"It's about Xiao Kun. He's missing."
Zhao Shen looked at him and was silent for a moment before asking, "Isn't it in the hands of Prince Yong?"
