Chapter 664 Account Book
Ji Yunshu replied, "She did want to come, but she caught a cold a few days ago and has a fever, so I asked her to rest. Zhenzhu knows everything about the snacks, so if you have any questions, just ask her."
Although I'm not sure whether Madam Ye is deliberately avoiding the Yu family and is therefore claiming to be sick and not coming.
But Ji Yunshu instinctively felt that he couldn't say that Madam Ye just happened to fall ill today, as that sounded like an excuse for not wanting to come.
Since she would have doubts, Princess Rong'an would naturally have them too.
Princess Rong'an listened to her words and really didn't care much: "You should know everything. Although snacks are a small matter for our old man's birthday banquet, they are something we eat after all, so we can't be careless. I will let the steward tell you if there are any taboos. You are from the capital, so you should know the rules of a family like ours."
Ji Yunshu said, "I understand. Princess, don't worry. I will do my best to ensure everything goes well."
She didn't know if anyone would take advantage of the old man of the Yu family's birthday to cause trouble, but even if someone did, it didn't matter.
Anyway, Princess Rong'an couldn't really do anything to her.
So Ji Yunshu was not nervous at all and agreed quickly.
Princess Rong'an saw that she was neither humble nor arrogant from beginning to end, and she did not show any special flattery to her, nor did she deliberately show any courtesy to her.
He nodded with satisfaction. "Although your Sheng family is insignificant in the capital, you are responsible for the palace's business. I have always known this. If you pay more attention this time and do a good job, I will reward you handsomely."
Ji Yunshu said happily, "Thank you very much, Princess."
Princess Rong'an was a very busy person. While she was talking, other officials came outside to ask to see her, so Ji Yunshu left.
On their way back, Ji Yunshu instructed Zhenzhu, "Talk to your mother about what happened today. Old Master Yu's birthday party can't be taken lightly. You need to be careful from now on. She's not feeling well. I'll send someone over to help you. You guys take care of it and make sure nothing happens."
Hearing her being so considerate of her mother, Ye Zhenzhu nodded repeatedly to express her gratitude.
After separating from Ye Zhenzhu, Ji Yunshu returned to his residence.
She pondered Princess Rong'an's attitude today and felt that she was a little strange.
She is the eldest lady of the Yu family and is in charge of household affairs. She has so many things to do every day. Why would she be specially received?
The moment she saw Princess Rong'an, she almost thought she was exposed.
But the fact is that the other party did not recognize her, and this meeting had nothing to do with Madam Ye.
It seems... it’s for the Sheng family.
Thinking about the other party saying that she knew the Sheng family, it didn't seem like a casual remark.
The Sheng family was also a wealthy family in the capital, but they have declined in recent years. However, decades ago, the Sheng family was the royal merchant and took over the jewelry business in the palace.
It is normal for Princess Rong'an to have their family's jewelry.
But Princess Rong'an doesn't seem like the type of person who would ask where jewelry is made before wearing it.
Ji Yunshu thought about it for a long time but had no idea. When Zhao Shen came back, he asked him what he thought.
Zhao Shen didn't know where he went. He was covered in dust. He took a shower and changed his clothes before sitting next to Ji Yunshu to listen to her talk.
Hearing this, he laughed and said, "What's there to guess? Since she mentioned the Sheng family, then the matter of meeting you is probably related to the Sheng family. The third young lady of the Sheng family just got married not long ago, so it's normal that she doesn't know a lot of things. Don't worry."
Ji Yunshu was indeed worried that Princess Rong'an would ask something she didn't know, thus exposing her trap.
Now hearing him say this, I feel that I have been overthinking.
Princess Rong'an has nothing to do with the Sheng family, so she doesn't have to worry.
"Princess Rong'an seems very busy, and it seems that the Yu family attaches great importance to the old man's birthday banquet. Unfortunately, Madam Ye fell ill at this critical moment. I sent someone to help. I hope nothing goes wrong."
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "You grew up by the Queen Mother's side, and you've helped organize palace banquets before, but why are you so worried about Mr. Yu's birthday banquet?"
Ji Yunshu rolled his eyes at him. "The Empress Dowager and the palace ladies are here for the banquet. If anything goes wrong, I won't be held responsible. What should I be worried about? But Master Yu is holding a birthday banquet at this time. I have a feeling something might go wrong."
It’s not that the old man shouldn’t hold a birthday party, but if a birthday party is held, many people will go to the Yu family, which will give people an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Ji Yunshu was thinking about his own things when Zhao Shen suddenly asked, "Will you go to the Yu family on the birthday banquet?"
Ji Yunshu nodded: "I should go."
There were a lot of snacks needed for the Yu family’s birthday party, and they all had to be made fresh, so she wanted to bring the chef from the store with her.
Ji Yunshu looked up at Zhao Shen: "But is there anything you need me to do?"
Zhao Shen said, "You know the account book that convicted Yang Zhen, right? That's just one of them. If we want to exonerate Yang Zhen now, there's another way. That's to find all the account books."
Ji Yunshu understood: "Those account books are in the Yu family, who has them?"
There are so many people in the Yu family, there are more than a dozen legitimate and illegitimate children in this generation.
Ji Yunshu couldn't guess for a moment who had these things.
Zhao Shen said, "I've checked. Although Yang Zhen's matter is closely related to Yu Shiyi, the account books should be in the hands of the eldest son of the Yu family."
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "No wonder you want to win over Princess Rong'an, but the window paper hasn't been broken yet, so she may not help us."
Zhao Shen said, "Although there's no actual evidence, our guess should be correct. Don't alarm her unless it's absolutely necessary. If something unexpected happens, it's okay to negotiate a deal with her. No matter what happens, you must protect yourself first."
Ji Yunshu nodded.
Zhao Shen continued, "In the next few days I will find out where the eldest son of the Yu family put the account books."
Ji Yunshu thought of what happened in Mobei and said eagerly, "Don't worry, I will definitely steal the account book."
Zhao Shen was very worried about her safety: "The Yu family is heavily guarded. I'm afraid we won't be able to let the secret guards go in with you. You must be careful."
Ji Yunshu certainly knew that if someone else could get in, Zhao Shen would not let her go.
She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I may not be able to fight, but running away should not be a problem."
Although she has been practicing martial arts, her progress has been slow. However, she has made great progress in light work because of her interest.
So as long as she wasn't caught on the spot, she would be able to escape from the Yu family.
Zhao Shen said: "Thank you for your hard work."
Ji Yunshu felt that he was a little baffling: "Why are you being so polite to me?"
Zhao Shen held her in his arms: "You're welcome."
He really felt that Ji Yunshu had a hard time. If she hadn't married him, she could have lived a stable life.
However, he could also see that Ji Yunshu was restless and always liked to find trouble for herself. Her first reaction after hearing this was not to refuse.
Ji Yunshu also understood what he meant. It was not politeness, but heartache.
She said with a smile: "I don't find it hard at all. To be honest, I quite like doing this kind of thing."
She really prefers life outside to scheming with other women in the backyard.
Even if there are countless dangers.
