Chapter 631 Can’t Fail
"She said she wanted to meet me, but I didn't agree."
Zhao Shen still remembers the estrangement between him and Ji Yunshu because he concealed the matter of Lu Ningshuang.
So if he encounters the same thing, he will no longer hide it from her.
Ji Yunshu looked up and saw her own reflection in his eyes.
She confessed, "Yao told me that Yu Qi might have the antidote to the poison."
Yao's words were not very accurate, but Ji Yunshu felt that they were almost correct, otherwise Yu Qi would have no chance of winning.
She and Zhao Shen need to face this matter together.
Zhao Shen seemed very happy to hear her words: "It's unlikely. If she gives me the antidote, how can she control me in the future? If she doesn't give me the antidote, why should I trust her?"
Ji Yunshu: "This is indeed a question, but if it's not like this, where does Yu Qiyou get the confidence to let you marry her?"
This is simply impossible.
Zhao Shen said, "That might be why she wants to see me. Using the antidote as bait, she must have other motives."
Ji Yunshu: "Are you sure you don't want to meet her?"
Zhao Shen hugged her tightly. "I know a little bit about the kind of person King Yong is. Since he sees me as his opponent, he won't easily give me the antidote. So Yu Qi definitely doesn't have the antidote, and even if she does, it won't be all of it. As long as I'm not interested in the bargaining chips in her hands, I won't step into her trap."
Ji Yunshu knew that Zhao Shen was always sober: "But what if?"
What if Yu Qi has the antidote that can save his life?
Zhao Shen sneered: "If she really does, then she has many choices. Do you think she is stupid?"
If Yu Qi really has the antidote to the poison in Zhao Shen's body, then she can ask Zhao Shen for anything she wants.
Zhao Shen will definitely do everything he can to satisfy her.
It doesn't look like she is deeply in love with Zhao Shen, so why does she have to marry him?
No matter what, because of Princess Rong'an's interference, the current situation is really unfavorable to Yu Qi.
Ji Yunshu understood what Zhao Shen meant, but she still pinched his face and asked, "What if she really does have it, and the condition is to marry you?"
Zhao Shen indulged her by ignoring her hand that was messing with his face. "Then I have plenty of ways to get the antidote."
He has been unable to find King Yong, so he cannot find the whereabouts of the antidote.
Now if we can be sure that the antidote is in Yu Qi's hands, is there no way to get it?
Zhao Shen didn't think Yu Qi was a difficult person to deal with.
Ji Yunshu: “…”
She found that she seemed to be overcomplicating things.
Zhao Shen saw that she was lost in thought and knew that she would not dwell on the antidote. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead: "Don't worry, I won't marry anyone else for anything. I promised you that I will only be with you in this life."
He leaned too close, and his warm breath sprayed on his face. Ji Yunshu's body became hot, and she hugged his neck and kissed him back.
Of course she knew that Zhao Shen would not betray her on his own initiative, but there were many things in this world that were uncontrollable.
Yu Qi gave her a very bad impression. She was different from Lu Ningshuang.
Lu Ningshuang loves Zhao Shen, so she cares about Zhao Shen's feelings.
But Yu Qi has no feelings for Zhao Shen, so he only cares about whether he can achieve his goal.
But Zhao Shen was right. As long as they were not interested in her bargaining chips, they would not fall into her trap.
However, Ji Yunshu still underestimated Yu Qi.
After sending several letters to Zhao Shen but receiving no response, she went to find Ji Yunshu.
On this day, Ji Yunshu accompanied the third wife to visit someone.
The third lady has been looking for Zhao Xuan these days.
Gradually, several candidates were selected.
The third lady asked Ji Yunshu to accompany her to see the man.
In the carriage, the Third Madam explained the situation to Ji Yunshu in detail: "The person we are meeting today is the Sixth Young Master of the Marquis of Jingning's eldest branch. He just turned eighteen, took the military examination, and now serves in the Imperial Guards. He is a good match for our family."
Ji Yunshu knew that because of the Third Master, the Third Lady didn't like scholars, so she looked for military officers as her son-in-law.
Ji Yunshu didn't have any objection to this. Compared with literati, military generals did give people the impression of being less scheming and in good health.
But Jingning Marquis Mansion...
She thought of the third son of Qi, who seemed to have a good relationship with Zhao Shen, and who seemed to be from the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion.
Most importantly, he is at odds with the eldest son.
Therefore, there must be something wrong with the eldest house of the Marquis of Jingning’s Mansion.
At first, she had never thought that one day she would go to the Jingning Marquis's Mansion to see him, so she asked what was going on.
He could only calmly ask the Third Madam, "Why did you think of meeting the young master of the Marquis of Jingning's mansion?"
The Third Madam said, "Speaking of this, I've been puzzled too. They haven't been around much in the past, yet somehow they sent someone to come and inquire about us. I asked around, and since they seemed to be a good match for Xuan'er in every way, I agreed to come and see her."
Ji Yunshu nodded: "In that case, let's go and take a look."
It’s no wonder Ji Yunshu is sensitive. The third master has never been an official. He only likes to write and paint, and has little presence in the mansion.
When the young master of the Marquis of Jingning gets married, he must choose from among the noble ladies in the capital.
Zhao Xuan is really unremarkable, so why would the other party take a fancy to her for no reason?
Arriving at the Marquis of Jingning's residence, the Marquis's wife came to greet them personally. She seemed surprised that Ji Yunshu would also be there. She paused for a moment before revealing a warm smile: "Why is the Crown Prince's wife here too? You are truly honored to be here."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I'm free anyway, so I came here with Third Aunt as a guest. Please don't look down on me."
"How could that be? Today is our old lady's birthday. I wish more people would come and make it more lively."
As he said this, he welcomed the person in and praised Zhao Xuan again and again.
Zhao Fei, who came with them, almost bit her teeth off.
She originally listened to her aunt's advice and hooked up with the Marquis's wife, Lady Yao. A few days ago, Lady Yao also started looking for men for her and even selected a few good candidates.
Unfortunately, Yao suddenly fell ill, and there was no one to take care of her affairs.
The concubine cannot go out to visit guests, so she can only rely on her stepmother.
But she knew that her stepmother could not possibly have sincere plans for her, so when she knew that her stepmother wanted to introduce Zhao Xuan to a young man from a noble family, she asked her aunt to ask her father to let her stepmother bring her along.
She doesn't have many chances, so she must not fail this time.
Zhao Fei followed the third lady with her head lowered and no one could tell what she was planning.
After entering the Jingning Marquis' Mansion, the Third Lady was invited by the Marquis's wife to the reception room.
Zhao Fei and Zhao Xuan were taken to where the little girls gathered.
As for Ji Yunshu, she met Miss Yu Qi.
This girl is an eye-catching presence wherever she goes, coupled with the recent rumors.
As soon as she appeared in front of Ji Yunshu, she attracted much attention.
However, the people under everyone's gaze didn't care. Miss Yu Qi smiled at Ji Yunshu naturally and said, "Let's talk."
