Chapter 633 I am willing to take responsibility
The Fourth Prince of Qi was a bastard's son, and a bastard who was very favored by his concubine.
The Marquis's wife did not like him.
The girls in the Changxing Marquis' Mansion were carefully selected by the Marquis' wife for her youngest son.
Everyone knows that the eldest son of Marquis Changxing is a favorite of the emperor. There are few people in the Marquis Changxing's mansion, and there are only a few girls of marriageable age from the third room.
And Zhao Xuan is the only legitimate child among them.
She didn't believe a word that the fourth brother's appearance in the inner courtyard was an accident.
And this girl from the Marquis of Changxing is not innocent either.
But since it involves the reputation of both families, things become a little troublesome.
She didn't want the fourth son to marry into the Changxing Marquis's Mansion, but she couldn't ignore the other party's reputation.
She had no choice but to ask, "This matter is indeed a little unclear. I wonder how the Crown Prince's wife wants to deal with it?"
Ji Yunshu glanced at the shy Zhao Fei with a cold expression. She said in front of everyone, "Second sister, this is your lifelong event. Tell me what you think."
Zhao Fei looked at her stepmother's face, which had turned pale with anger, and couldn't help feeling pleased.
Because this woman was not favored by her father, she made things difficult for her and her aunt, and even wanted to control her marriage.
She wouldn't let her be pushed around.
Even as she thought this, she showed a look of panic and fear on her face. She lowered her head and said, "I... I don't know either. We just hugged for a while..."
Qi Si raised his eyebrows slightly but said nothing.
Ji Yunshu also understood what she meant and said to the Marquis' wife, "Since they have already had physical contact, the Fourth Young Master must naturally take responsibility."
The Fourth Young Master Qi knelt down and said, "I am willing to take responsibility."
At the same time, Zhao Fei shrieked, "What did you say? What Fourth Young Master?"
Ji Yunshu looked at her calmly and said, "Second sister, you might not know yet. It's true. You two just met by chance, not on purpose. This is the Fourth Young Master Qi."
"Fourth Young Master..."
Zhao Fei stood there in a daze.
How could he not be the person Zhao Xuan was going to have a blind date with?
When the Third Lady saw her like this, she knew everything, that she was here for Zhao Xuan's blind date.
She was about to say something when she heard Lady Jingninghou say, "Since that's the case, let's follow the rules."
She also realized that Zhao Fei's target was not the fourth brother at all.
She had to give face to the Changxing Marquisate, and a concubine's daughter from the third house had done such a thing. At most, she would become a concubine.
Before the fourth brother gets the benefits, there might be a fire in the backyard.
Ji Yunshu had no objection to this. Zhao Fei had chosen her own path, so she should just follow it.
After coming out of the Jingning Marquis Mansion, Zhao Fei was completely confused. Her marriage was arranged, but she would be a concubine.
Ji Yunshu fought for her status as a concubine, not just an ordinary concubine, but a noble concubine. But what was the point of being a concubine of a marquis's illegitimate son?
She was completely devastated, but she didn't dare to refuse.
Because she knew that after what happened today, her stepmother would no longer tolerate her.
And the current and future mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, Ji Yunshu, will not side with her.
She didn't quite understand how things turned out like this.
On the way back home, Zhao Xuan didn't want to ride in a carriage with Zhao Fei, so she got in a carriage with her mother and Ji Yunshu.
She was actually frightened by what happened today.
Zhao Fei has been competitive since she was a child, and others must snatch away what she has.
Whenever something didn't go my way, I would go and complain to my father about how unfair my mother was.
Then my father would say that my mother was mistreating the concubines and nieces harshly.
Her mother cried countless times because of this. In order not to cause trouble to her mother, Zhao Xuan always gave in to Zhao Fei.
She always thought that with her father's support, Zhao Fei might be able to marry someone better than herself. Who knew that in just a short while, her life would be decided.
It’s better to be a concubine of a bastard.
This status is even lower than that of her aunt.
The Third Lady touched her daughter's face with some pity and said, "Mother doesn't ask you to marry a good woman, but I will definitely not let you be a concubine."
Zhao Xuan leaned her head towards her mother and said, "I know you treat me the best."
Ji Yunshu looked at the affectionate scene between mother and daughter and said with a smile, "Third sister is good in everything. Of course she will marry the right man. Aunt Third, there is no need to worry."
After this happened, the Third Lady naturally would no longer consider marrying Zhao Xuan to the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion.
It just so happened that she also felt that this family was not suitable.
After returning to the mansion, Ji Yunshu was still thinking about what happened today.
It is obvious that Zhao Fei's target today is Zhao Xuan's blind date, Mr. Zhao Liu.
But she had never seen anyone before, so she bumped into the Fourth Young Master's arms.
But how did the Fourth Young Master appear there?
Ji Yunshu never believed in coincidences, and what happened today did not seem like a coincidence.
When Zhao Shen came back, he saw Ji Yunshu sitting by the window, wondering what he was thinking about.
He walked up to her and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
He knew that Miss Yu Qi had gone to see Ji Yunshu at the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion today.
As soon as the banquet at the Marquis' Mansion was over, rumors began to spread.
Because of Ji Yunshu's words, Yu Qi's reputation was truly ruined by Zhao Shen.
Now people are waiting to see what happens, wondering whether Zhao Shen will take Yu Qi as his concubine?
Zhao Shen didn't care what others thought, but he was worried about Ji Yunshu.
Who knew that what Ji Yunshu was talking about was actually other people's business.
She recounted how Zhao Fei seemed to have mistaken someone for someone else, and asked doubtfully, "Today's events are quite strange. Do you think that the Fourth Young Master did this on purpose, or is there someone behind the scenes plotting something?"
She didn't care what Zhao Fei wanted to do, but she had to find out if someone wanted to take advantage of the marriages of the young ladies in the mansion to do something.
Zhao Shen was helpless: "Qi San left someone at the Jingning Marquis's mansion. He discovered that Qi Si had the maids there deliberately approach Zhao Fei and Zhao Xuan, saying that Qi Liu would appear there. He thought Zhao Xuan was there to see Qi Liu, so he would definitely go after hearing this. He didn't expect that it was Zhao Fei who showed up."
It turned out to be such a coincidence. Ji Yunshu looked at Zhao Shen curiously: "How do you know so clearly?"
Zhao Shen said, "Qi San was worried that he wouldn't be able to respond in time if something happened while he was away from the capital, so he asked someone to contact me. That person knew it was related to our family, so he told me."
Ji Yunshu had long known that Zhao Shen and the Third Young Master of Qi had a special relationship, but after hearing this, he realized that their relationship was even better than he thought.
She thought for a moment and then asked, "The Third Young Master Qi is worried about his family even when he's away, so he's specially leaving people to keep an eye on them. Is there something wrong with the Qi family's eldest wife?"
Zhao Shen did not hide it from her: "Qi San's grandmother was his grandfather's second wife. After marrying him, she was highly regarded by his grandfather. Qi San's father was also very outstanding. He had a strong body and outstanding martial arts since he was a child. His grandfather often praised his father to others as the most suitable to inherit the Marquisate."
Hearing this, Ji Yunshu curled her lips. She knew what was going on without Zhao Shen finishing his words.
The mediocre eldest son born to the first wife and the brilliant son born to the second wife are both legitimate sons, so the question is which one to choose as the heir.
Judging from the final result: "Did the old marquis choose the legitimate son of his first wife?"
This is the choice of most people, which is conducive to the peace of the home.
Zhao Shen shook his head: "No one knows who the old marquis will choose."
