Chapter 99 Then Go and Complain
A Mei was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She had been in the Jin Mansion for a while and had never served the young master.
This woman just happened to poke her in the heart.
"Bitch..."
She was not a lady from a noble family, and she took two steps forward to hit Ji Yunshu.
But Yin Ye grabbed his collar and he couldn't move.
Ji Yunshu didn't expect this woman to act this way. He laughed and said, "I advise you not to move, or I'll have someone strip you naked and throw you out."
A Mei felt the hand holding her collar tighten, as if she would be stripped naked if she dared to move again.
He was a little scared, but he refused to give in. He said stubbornly, "How dare you? I was given to you by the prefect. Even you wouldn't dare to offend the prefect."
Ji Yunshu looked at her calmly, "Really? You're quite influential. Is the prefect your father? Or can you represent the prefect?"
People who don't recognize their own status usually don't end up well.
But Ji Yunshu felt that a woman who was specially trained to be given away shouldn’t be so brainless.
A Mei glared at her and said, "Even if the prefect is not my father, you can't afford to offend me."
Ji Yunshu winked at Yin Ye and said, "Then go ahead and file a complaint."
After saying that, Yin Ye exerted force on his hands, directly picked up A Mei and threw her out at the door.
In the courtyard, maids and old women were coming and going. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, A-Mei fell to the ground, her face flushed, and she cursed at the people in the room: "Bitch, just wait for me."
Bai Ling watched the man walk away from the window and couldn't help asking, "Is this useful? It's easy to get angry like this..."
He doesn't look like someone who would be reused.
Ji Yunshu said, "The Jin family says it's important, but it's not important. Even if they say it's not important, they're already in the game. It's impossible for those people to take it lightly. Don't underestimate her."
Yin Ye also laughed and said, "When I caught her, she could have dodged, but she didn't move. She has skills and knows how to be patient. She can be considered a qualified spy."
Bai Ling couldn't believe she was talking about the bluffing woman just now, so she opened her mouth and said, "She's pretty good at pretending."
She really didn't notice.
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "She could have pretended better, but my arrival made her feel a sense of crisis and she became a little anxious."
Bai Ling was puzzled: "Why are you so anxious? You're not the legal wife. Isn't it normal for Master Jin to have another singing girl?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head. "That's perfectly normal, but the problem is that I'm more favored than she is. I've lived closest to the young master since I arrived, and my food, clothing, and daily expenses are obviously better than hers. No matter what she wants to achieve, she has to gain favor first, right? Also, if you were the prefect, what would you promise her when you sent her here?"
"What?"
Bai Ling asked following her words.
Before Ji Yunshu could finish, the young man's voice rang out, "Of course, it's about future wealth and glory. If she becomes my concubine, then her future life and death, honor and disgrace, will all depend on me. In short, she must gain a firm foothold with me."
Jin Shi walked in from outside and said to Ji Yunshu with a smile, "It seems you've made good progress. One encounter has already pissed him off so much that he's gone to his backers to complain."
Ji Yunshu didn't think it was all her own credit: "You brought someone like me back from the capital, so she naturally had to find an excuse to explain the situation to her master."
Jin Shi sat down opposite her and looked at the woman in front of him carefully. She had Yan Lan's charming and seductive face, but her almond-shaped eyes were black and clear, with an indescribable purity.
It was the first time he knew that there was such a woman in the world.
He is so brave that he dares to think and act, and pushes himself in front of the enemy with his own hands.
"Aren't you afraid? What if we get discovered..."
Even if you have a noble status, you will really die here.
Ji Yunshu slowly poured him a cup of hot tea, looked at him and said, "What about you? You're betting the entire Jin family. Aren't you afraid that one wrong move could lead to a complete loss?"
Her gaze was so pure that Jin Shi couldn't tell whether it was out of simple curiosity or a test.
He looked away uncomfortably, gazing at the clear blue tea in the cup. After a moment's thought, he said, "Whether you're afraid or not, you always have to make a choice. The rest is just about doing your best and leaving the rest to fate."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I thought you merchants wouldn't believe in these vague theories of destiny."
Jin Shi also laughed: "That's because you haven't come into contact with merchants. People like us actually believe in fate the most. Whether a business will succeed or not is often decided by fate."
"That sounds new, but it makes sense when you think about it. So, you're ready."
Ji Yunshu looked up at him.
Jin Shi said, "There's nothing to prepare. Madam, don't worry. The Jin family will definitely do their best."
As he spoke, he put away the smile on his face, took out an account book from his pocket and handed it to Ji Yunshu, saying seriously: "This is the stuff that was transported to Mobei through the Jin family's route. In addition to medicinal herbs, there are also weapons and food."
"weapon?"
Ji Yunshu didn't know this.
If someone else had funded Mobei's weapons, it would be no wonder that Mobei became so powerful later on.
Even after King Yong ascended the throne, he could only negotiate peace with Mobei.
He also sent Xiao Yue to marry.
Ji Yunshu clenched the account book in his hand.
Jin Shi looked at her white fingertips pinching the account book and thought to himself that what he did was right.
"Originally, those boxes were sealed. At first, we thought they were all medicinal herbs. Even though they were for the people in Mobei, they paid for them, so that's what business is all about. Until one day, an old man following the caravan secretly told me that he thought the weight of the goods was wrong. At that time, I didn't take it seriously..."
He paused before continuing, "Not long after, that man died. He was an old servant of ours. I sorted through his belongings and found a letter he left behind. I learned that he had secretly opened a box and discovered that it was filled with weapons used by the people of Mobei."
Suzhou is located on the border between the two countries and usually has a lot of trade with the people of Mobei.
Many people exchanged food, medicinal herbs and other things that the people of Mobei urgently needed for cattle, sheep and horses with the people of Mobei.
Although the quantity of the things they sent was a bit large, it was still within the tradable range.
But smuggling weapons is treason.
How could the Jin family, a small business, dare to get involved in such a thing?
"This is also the main reason why I went to the capital. Although it may alert the enemy, the Jin family's roots are in Suzhou. If Mobei invades from the south, the people of Suzhou will suffer."
Ever since Ji Yunshu entered the book, he felt that he knew the future plot, so he firmly believed that many things could be changed.
But she really didn't expect that there would always be accidents waiting for her in this world.
If she smuggled weapons to the people of Mobei, then these weapons would first target her father and brother.
No wonder the prefect dug up the entire Xingqing Prefecture to find Zhao Shen. It was just the smuggling of medicinal herbs, which was not a serious matter. What really made them want to kill him was the weapons.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Yunshu had figured out the whole process clearly.
She knew the weight of the account book in her hand. Jin Shi gave it to her as a sign of complete surrender.
After all, the things were sent to Mobei by the Jin family, so whether they knew about it or not, they could not escape responsibility.
