Chapter 98: Madam's move is a bit risky
Ji Yunshu felt a little heavy in his heart. It seemed that those people had already taken control of the Xingqing Mansion.
If Zhao Shen was seriously injured and was being hunted, where would he hide?
Jin Shi observed her expression and asked cautiously, "What should we do next?"
"Try to find out more about that person."
Jin Shi nodded absentmindedly and stood up to leave.
When he was about to reach the door, he heard Ji Yunshu's cold voice: "I don't know if Xingqing Mansion in Suzhou is still the emperor's, but if that person really dies here, I guarantee that everyone involved will be buried with him."
Jin Shi's body stiffened for a moment, then he turned around and smiled, "Don't worry, Madam. The Jin family will do their best to find the person alive."
Ji Yunshu chuckled and said, "Of course I trust Young Master Jin, and I would like to thank you for your care along the way."
Seeing Jin Shi leave the yard, Yin Ye asked, "Do you suspect he will betray you?"
Ji Yunshu sat by the window, looking out at the dark night, and sighed softly, "He's a smart man and wouldn't do that, but not everyone in the Jin family is like him."
Jin Shi has elders above her. If the elders of the Jin family feel that Suzhou is far away and the emperor is far away, it would be better for them to rely on those people instead of trusting a woman like her, then her identity will be exposed immediately.
Bai Ling said with some concern, "Madam, this move is a bit risky."
Ji Yunshu said with a smile, "You can't catch a tiger cub without learning from the tiger. As long as those people don't dare to immediately usurp the throne, if anything happens to me here, the Jin family will be buried with me. Their business is so big, they can't be confused."
Her guess was correct. Jin Shi left Ji Yunshu and went directly to his father's study.
His father, Jin Yuan, was not even forty years old, but he had been worried so much these days that white hair had grown on his temples.
He wasn't surprised to see his son come in. He looked up and asked, "How's it going?"
After Jin Shi paid his respects, he stood aside and replied, "I told her the news. It seems that she and the government office are looking for the same person."
Jin Yuan closed the book in his hand and said, "So, the people being searched by the government office are those sent by the emperor?"
Jin Shi nodded. "Not only that, I suspect that person is related to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion or the Marquis of Changxing Mansion. Otherwise, it couldn't be her who came."
The girl of the Ji family, the wife of the prince of Changxing Marquis's Mansion, has such a noble identity, and she is a female member of the family. If they were not closely related, why would she come to Suzhou to wade into this muddy water?
Jin Yuan said, "But the Ji family is a simple family. The general and his son are both at the border. And she just married into the Changxing Marquisate. Who is worth the risk for her?"
Jinshi was also puzzled, but it didn't matter to them anymore.
"She warned me that if that person died here, everyone involved would be buried with him."
Jin Yuan took a breath and said, "This... is such a big tone."
Jin Shi smiled bitterly. "She's so arrogant, and so bold. She's a woman, knowing the danger, yet she still dares to come here. She must be unprepared. From the moment she boarded my ship, our family had no choice."
Jin Yuan pondered for a long time before saying, "Since the Emperor has already sent people to Suzhou, it means the court is already aware of those things. What do you think is their chance of success?"
Jin Shi's expression relaxed a little: "The chances of this kind of thing succeeding were originally not high."
Jin Yuan said, "Then do as the Crown Prince's wife orders."
"The government office?"
Jin Yuan said: "All of them should respond. It's not bad to be an insider. How can we know their actions if we are far away?"
Jin Shi was completely relieved. He knew his father's character. Once he made up his mind, he would not change it easily.
Ji Yunshu woke up early the next morning and found that it was raining outside. The weather seemed to have turned cold all of a sudden.
After breakfast, a steward brought in two boxes and said, "Seventh Master has sent some things to you, young lady. Please take a look and tell me if you need anything."
Ji Yunshu saw that although his words were polite, the disdain in his eyes was not concealed. He knew in his heart that Jin Shi had not revealed his identity, so he said with satisfaction: "Let it go for now."
The manager didn't say much. He left the things behind and led his men out.
Bai Ling opened the box and saw that it was filled with daily necessities and several sets of thick clothes.
"Mr. Jin, you sent these clothes just in time. The weather here is getting cold so quickly, and our clothes are already a little cold."
Ji Yunshu said with some worry, "Every autumn rain brings a chill. I'm afraid there won't be many warm days in the future."
Bai Ling knew she was worried about the prince, so she consoled her, "Good fortune will come naturally to those who are lucky. Madam, you should just relax."
Ji Yunshu knew that worrying was pointless, so she smiled and said, "He's probably the one the government is looking for. As long as he's not dead, we'll always find him."
As she was speaking, footsteps were heard coming in from outside. It was the woman who had come in to provoke her yesterday.
Ji Yunshu remembered that Jin Shi called her A Mei.
As soon as Ah Mei entered the room, she saw the things in the box on the ground and snorted coldly, "What's there to show off? The Seventh Young Master is very generous. When I came here, he gave me more rewards than this."
Yin Ye felt that this woman was simply crazy. The things were placed in their own room, but she came to see them. How could that be considered showing off?
Ji Yunshu had just noticed that the things Jin Shi sent were all good. The one given to the singer was a little eye-catching, but just right, which was obviously intentional.
And he didn't tell the woman not to mess with him.
Working with smart people means less worry.
If it is true as he said, this woman is indeed a good breakthrough.
If she cooperates here, Jinshi's beauty trap might be more effective.
Ji Yunshu's mind raced as he raised his eyebrows critically. "These things aren't very good. They're far inferior to what you'll find in the capital, but the Master told me to make do with them for now and he'll send me something better when he finds one."
Ah Mei said coldly, "Who do you think you are? You're just a singing girl. What good things do you deserve?"
Ji Yunshu smiled charmingly at her: "I said so too, but the young master insisted on giving it to me, what can I do?"
She stood up and took out a small box that Bai Ling had just opened from the box, and opened it again in front of A Mei.
A red gold headpiece inlaid with rubies, a jade bracelet with superb water content, and pearl earrings with lustrous color...
Looking at such a full box of jewelry, A Mei's eyes changed.
She came from a poor family, but because she was given to Master Jin Qi by the prefect, she became a concubine as soon as she entered the house.
Young Master Jin Qi had always treated her very well, but apart from the things that were given to concubines in the Jin family, he did not give her anything extra.
Her jewelry and clothes were far inferior to those of the new singer.
A Mei was angry, thinking that this woman came in and caused trouble yesterday, but the Seventh Young Master didn't say anything, so it seemed that he didn't take it to heart.
Then he said, "Why are you so proud? The young master didn't stay at your place last night, which shows that he doesn't like you that much."
"Oh, that's because the young master felt sorry for me after all the travel and wanted me to rest up." Ji Yunshu blinked and asked, "Could it be that he stayed at your place for the night?"
Ah Mei was choked and speechless. After a while, she said, "Young Master is still young, how can he be obsessed with women? If I were you, I would be more sensible and not be so arrogant and make you a target of gossip."
Ji Yunshu took a golden hairpin and played with it in her hair, then looked at herself in the mirror: "Oh, this is really beautiful. My lord will definitely like it when I wear it."
As she spoke, she turned around and smiled, "What did Aunt Mei say? I'm spoiled and arrogant? The young master dotes on me like this, and I'm a little distressed. How about you go back and try to persuade the young master?"
