Chapter 7 As long as you don’t regret it, I will always stand behind you
In the book, Yao drugged Marquis Zhao and climbed into his bed while he was out entertaining guests.
When the Marquis's first wife, Madam Shen, was about to give birth, Yao found out that she was pregnant and came to Madam Shen to tell her that she was pregnant with the Marquis's child.
Mrs. Shen was so shocked and angry that she had difficulty giving birth and died after giving birth to Zhao Shen.
Half a year later, Yao gave birth to Zhao Heng.
Under pressure from public opinion and his reputation, Lord Zhao remarried Yao.
This is also the reason why Zhao Shen has had a bad relationship with his father since he learned the truth about his mother's early death.
However, as the mother of the male protagonist, Yao's disgraceful experience of rising to power is written very obscurely.
Even later on, the hero's background was revealed and he was cleared of all charges.
But Ji Yunshu was in the book and knew how difficult it was for Yao's series of operations to succeed.
If the Marquis hadn't fallen into the trap, or if Madam Shen hadn't died, everything would have been different.
As the male protagonist's biological mother, it is not surprising that she has such scheming and means.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but wonder, was Zhao Shen's broken leg and subsequent death really an accident?
Both of these events are briefly mentioned in the book.
But the previous incident allowed Zhao Heng to get the marriage that should have belonged to Zhao Shen, with the help of the Wu'an Marquisate.
The latter cleared the way for Zhao Heng to inherit the title.
Ji Yunshu was startled by his own thoughts and got goosebumps all over his body. Just when he was wondering if he hadn't seen Zhao Heng, he heard the Marquis sitting at the top say, "Brother Heng did something wrong. I punished him last night by confining him to reflect on his mistakes for three months."
Although he didn't know what the Zhao family's rules were, he knew from Yao's expression that Zhao Heng was severely punished.
Ji Yunshu knew that this was an instruction for her, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Daddy."
The Marquis nodded and said: "You are a sensible person. Live a good life with Brother Shen in the future."
When Ji Yunshu received a bunch of gifts and returned to the house, he still felt that everything went so smoothly that it was almost unbelievable.
As expected, she is just a vicious female supporting role. The various situations in the novel where the heroine is bullied while serving tea will never happen to her.
Zhao Shen wheeled his wheelchair in and knew what Ji Yunshu was thinking. "There are few people in the Marquis' Mansion, so no one would be so blind as to offend you today. Even the Madam wouldn't do anything that would give people a chance to talk about her in public. But you've offended her quite a bit, so be careful next time."
Ji Yunshu snorted, "She even offended me. Why didn't you tell her to be more careful?"
Zhao Shen looked at her angry expression and laughed, "Are you still angry about what happened last night? You probably don't know how strict the family rules of the Marquisate are. Father said that Zhao Heng will be punished by confinement for three months. During these three months, he won't be able to leave his bed."
Ji Yunshu hadn't expected the Marquis to punish Zhao Heng so severely, but she was happy that Zhao Heng was in trouble.
The hatred that Yao showed towards her today made her realize that even if she had not married Zhao Heng, she would still be a thorn in the eyes of this mother and son.
Yes, the Marquis's promise completely shattered Zhao Heng's plan to inherit the title.
And Yao Ruolan.
I don’t know if she really has the aura of a protagonist?
She couldn't help but ask, "What about that woman? How will the Marquis deal with her?"
"You mean Miss Yao?" Zhao Shen thought for a moment and said, "She grew up in the mansion since she was a child. The Yao family treated her like their own daughter. Originally, Zhao Heng had an engagement, but now that they are in love and have a beginning and an end, my father might even agree to their marriage."
This is what the Marquis would do, and it is also the best outcome.
But Ji Yunshu knew that Zhao Heng would not marry Yao Ruolan at this time.
The hero and heroine in the book are tortured to death, and it’s not just because of such a vicious female supporting role like her, right?
"What are you thinking? Don't you think this is enough to relieve your anger?"
Zhao Shen saw her holding her chin, not knowing what she was thinking, and asked again.
"What does their business have to do with me?" Ji Yunshu certainly couldn't express his own thoughts, so he decisively changed the subject: "This new house is prepared for Zhao Heng, right? Would it be inconvenient for us to live there? Can we move to your yard?"
She noticed it in the morning. The clothes and even the things Zhao Shen used were all brought by the servants who served him. He had difficulty walking and must have been uncomfortable with the sudden change of residence.
Moreover, she felt uncomfortable living in the new house after marrying Zhao Heng.
Zhao Shen glanced at her and said, "Of course, but this courtyard has just been renovated and the location is good. Although the Qionghua Courtyard where I live is bigger than here, it is very remote. Are you sure you want to move there?"
"No matter how good it is, it's someone else's place, so of course I have to move."
Ji Yunshu didn't dwell on this question. She knew that Lord Zhao was very good to Zhao Shen, to the point of giving him whatever he wanted.
Even if the place where he lives is not as good as this newly renovated yard, it is definitely not bad.
Zhao Shen had lived in his own yard all these years, and now he was suddenly dragged here to be the groom. Of course, he was not used to it. Seeing that she insisted on moving, he immediately made the decision and asked people to pack up and move.
Everyone around Ji Yunshu started to move, and Zhao Shen's servants also came to help.
The two were busy making arrangements when someone suddenly came from outside to say that the Queen Mother had summoned them.
Ji Yunshu felt a headache when he heard this.
There was a change in her marriage, and it was impossible for her aunt, the Empress Dowager, not to ask about it, but she thought that she had to wait until she returned home.
Given how much her aunt loves her, you can imagine how angry she would be after hearing what happened last night.
Most importantly, she felt that the Queen Mother might not let her marry Zhao Shen.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Shen lowered his eyes and said, "Are you worried that the Queen Mother will not approve of our marriage? In fact, you really should think about it carefully. After all, it is a lifelong event, and you can't make a hasty decision out of anger."
"Who said I was angry?" Ji Yunshu glanced at him, "I just regret not consummating our marriage last night."
Although they are already married, it is still different whether they have consummated the marriage or not.
My aunt was so anxious to recruit her into the palace, probably because of this consideration.
Zhao Shen was so shocked by her words that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Don't talk nonsense. I'll go with you. If you have any ideas, you should tell the Queen Mother. If you really can't make sense, just push it to me. As long as you don't regret it, I will always stand behind you."
"You are so good, why should I regret it?"
Zhao Shen's tolerant and responsible words made Ji Yunshu feel that his choice was the right one.
Zhao Heng, who was deeply in love with Yao Ruolan but refused to marry her openly, had absolutely no right to say such words.
The two came to the Empress Dowager's Ningshou Palace and found that the emperor was there too.
When Ji Yunshu bowed, he missed the complex emotions that flashed across his cousin the emperor's eyes.
When she stood up, the emperor had already called Zhao Shen out, leaving the space to the empress dowager and her.
The Queen Mother said in a deep voice with a stern face, "Tell me, what happened last night?"
Ji Yunshu sat down below and answered obediently, "I found out that Zhao Heng was with his cousin... well, I didn't want to marry him anymore. I originally wanted to marry Zhao Shen, so I proposed to switch the marriage, and Lord Zhao agreed."
The hall was silent for a moment, and then the Queen Mother's voice rang out: "You should have been in your bridal chamber at that time, so why did you run out? Or, how did you know they were together?"
Ji Yunshu's heart tightened. As expected of the Queen Mother, she had found the biggest loophole so quickly from those few short sentences.
This was the hardest thing for her to explain in this whole thing.
