Chapter 75: Yao's Test
Ji Yunshu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Which eye of yours saw that this matter had anything to do with me? I didn't even leave the house today."
Lanting didn't believe her.
He had heard some things from Xiao Yue about the dispute between Ji Yunshu and the two young masters of the Zhao family.
Combined with the anxious look on the second son of the Zhao family's face, he probably knew who was in trouble.
"I didn't say it was Madam who did it, but Madam, do you know who did it?"
"you do not know?"
This matter is actually not complicated at all, it's just that the fugitive is used as a cover to deceive people.
Lan Ting could certainly guess what was going on. He was just a little puzzled: "What's going on with that princess? Since she's taking action, why doesn't she just kill her? Isn't kidnapping too much trouble?"
It's also easy to leave a handle.
Ji Yunshu said nonchalantly, "The princess is a girl, I think she wouldn't dare to kill anyone."
Although it is basically an empty statement in this era that the emperor is subject to the same punishment as the common people when breaking the law, it is still better not to take human lives if possible.
Lan Ting remained noncommittal. "Kidnapping a girl is much better than killing her. Princess Huimin is truly cruel."
Even though Yao Ruolan no longer had any innocence, having an affair with a man and being kidnapped were completely different concepts.
Ji Yunshu felt that this might not be the result Wei Yuanmin wanted to see.
They all thought that killing people would save them trouble. Could Wei Yuanmin not have thought of this?
She felt that the more likely possibility was that something unexpected happened when Wei Yuanmin was sent to kill someone.
After all, the heroine is not so easy to kill. In the book, Yao Ruolan was poisoned to death, and the author created an antidote for her.
How could he die so easily?
Although Ji Yunshu felt a little regretful, he thought that Yao Ruolan's accident not only muddied the waters, but also brought trouble to Jingzhao Prefecture.
It's not a bad thing for them.
As she thought, this was indeed not the effect Wei Yuanmin expected.
When Cuiluo returned, Wei Yuanmin was furious in his room.
Seeing someone come in, she angrily asked: "What happened? Why did she disappear? Didn't I say that she should die?"
Cui Luo whispered, "The people we sent out said there was an accident. Yao Ruolan fell from the back mountain."
"Fell down the back mountain?" Wei Yuanmin knew the back mountain, which was very steep. "Could she be dead?"
Cuiluo shook her head: "I've sent someone to look for it quietly, but they haven't found it yet."
Wei Yuanmin gritted his teeth and said, "That bitch is lucky. No, I want to see her alive or dead. I don't believe she can just disappear like this."
Cui Luo discovered that her princess had become increasingly disorganized since she became engaged to the Second Young Master Zhao, and it seemed that the only person in her mind was the Second Young Master Zhao.
She hesitated for a moment, then advised, "Princess, the Second Young Master is urging the patrol battalion to find someone. It's better for us not to move, otherwise, if we get discovered..."
If this matter was not related to the fugitive, any normal person would think that their princess was the biggest suspect.
Wei Yuanmin wasn't completely blinded by jealousy. He clutched the handkerchief in his hand tightly and was silent for a moment before saying, "Call everyone back. It would be best if she's dead. If she's not, it's none of our business."
Cuiluo finally breathed a sigh of relief. "She must have died after falling from such a height. Once the patrol battalion finds her body, the matter will be over. There's really no need for us to make things worse."
The princess has solved this big problem, and now she can live a peaceful life in the future.
Wei Yuanmin snorted coldly: "It's better this way."
Zhao Heng urged the patrol camp to search for the person for two days but they still couldn't find him. Seeing that he was becoming more and more angry, even Yao Shi couldn't sit still anymore and called her son over to scold him severely.
But when Zhao Heng thought that Yao Ruolan might die, he became like crazy and refused to listen to anything he said. Yao simply locked up her son.
When Ji Yunshu paid her respects to Yao, he saw that her eyes were dark and her face was haggard, obviously she had not slept well at night.
Seeing Ji Yunshu, she finally put away the worry on her face and said, "Who knew that such a thing could happen in this holy place of Buddhism? Shen Ge'er is injured, and I don't know how Lan Er is doing."
Ji Yunshu comforted her, "Madam, don't worry. My husband's injury has healed a lot. With the Buddha's blessing, my cousin will surely be able to turn danger into safety."
Madam Yao forced a smile and said, "You are a kind person. She did something so wrong to you, yet you still hope for her well."
Ji Yunshu felt that these words had a hidden meaning. After all, what she did could not be called lenient.
"Look at what Madam said. Why bring up the past? I was ignorant back then. I'm glad Madam doesn't blame me. Now that I'm married to the prince, everything is fine. Naturally, I won't bother with Miss Yao anymore."
Yao was just testing the waters. In fact, Ji Yunshu's daily behavior showed that she was indeed living a good life with Zhao Shen.
There was really no need for her to take action against Yao Ruolan in this situation.
After excluding Ji Yunshu, who had a grudge against Yao Ruolan, it is not difficult to guess who else would touch Yao Ruolan.
After all, Yao Ruolan is just a little girl and hasn't offended many people.
As for the fugitive kidnapping people, she didn't believe it at all.
The patrol camp had surrounded the Huguo Temple. The fugitive had no time to escape, so why would he kidnap a woman?
Yao was a little annoyed, but when she thought about how crazy her son was for Yao Ruolan, she knew that Wei Yuanmin was not to blame.
When will his son finally understand that the more he acts like this, the more dangerous Yao Ruolan will be.
No wife can tolerate her husband loving another woman like this.
It was too easy for Princess Wei Yuanmin to do something to Yao Ruolan.
Yao thought about this, but didn't show any emotion on her face. Instead, she continued chatting with Ji Yunshu, "I think we've been in trouble for the past few days. Huguo Temple is so unsafe, it's better to go back soon."
"My daughter-in-law thinks so too, but the patrol camp..."
They had originally planned to stay for only two or three days, but because the patrol camp surrounded the Huguo Temple and said that the fugitive had not been caught, they would not let them leave, so they stayed until now.
Yao said, "We haven't heard any movement in the past two days. If they can't catch anyone, we can just stay here forever."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "You're right. Then let's leave tomorrow?"
Yao nodded: "You go back and clean up, and take good care of Brother Shen."
"My daughter-in-law knows."
Ji Yunshu didn't know what Yao had said to Zhao Heng. Anyway, when they were on their way back, although Zhao Heng didn't look very happy, he didn't make a fuss.
The only trouble was that the patrol camp was guarding the intersection leading down the mountain, and everyone passing by had to be strictly checked.
Therefore, the carriage moved very slowly and almost caused traffic jams along the way.
Ji Yunshu sat in the carriage, staring blankly outside. He saw Dongzhi, who had just returned from scouting the area ahead, get on the carriage and whisper, "The patrol camp seems to have learned something. Besides checking the carriages of each mansion to see if there are any Tibetans, they're also keeping a close eye on people. A disguised servant of the Crown Prince of Cheng'an's mansion has been apprehended."
