Chapter 628 How the Legend Spreads
"So soon?"
Cen Xi was still pregnant, and Ji Yunshu didn't expect her to be so decisive.
Cen Xi said, "Of course, when it comes to making money, the faster the better."
Ji Yunshu glanced at her belly and said, "You'd better be careful and don't tire yourself out."
Cen Xi gently stroked her belly. "It's a good kid. It didn't bother me much. Besides, I just talked, and other people did all the work. Oh, and I've also sent people to Jiangnan. We're just waiting for the shop in the capital to open. Once it's famous, we'll open a shop in Jiangnan as well."
This was something they had discussed before. It would not be so strange for a famous dim sum shop in Beijing to open a branch in Jiangnan.
Ji Yunshu said, "Just arrange these things for yourself. If you're too busy, you can take a break. There's no need to rush."
Cen Xi said: "It's still early in the month, so it won't affect anything. The sooner I finish, the more at ease I'll be. When I'm older, I might not even have the energy to do it."
The baby in her belly is almost five months old, her belly is visible, and she is not as mobile as before.
Ji Yunshu sighed: "Thank you for your hard work."
Cen Xi smiled and said, "I'm very happy when I think about making money. Why are you telling me whether it's hard or not? Well, everyone in this world has a hard life. I'm already doing well."
She is very satisfied with her current life.
Ji Yunshu looked at the contented smile on her face and said, "You're right. This capital seems to be full of powerful people, but there may not be many who live better than you."
Women are subject to too many restrictions. Even a noble woman like Princess Rong'an has to separate from the man she loves and marry a complete stranger as long as the emperor grants her marriage decree.
More women are trapped in the backyard, scheming for food and clothing, or being supported by their families, and one day they will sacrifice themselves.
It is indeed rare to find someone like Cen Xi who can make his own decisions on everything.
Cen Xi said: "The confidence I have now is all given by you."
After that, she held her chin and gossiped, "Recently, there's been rumors all over the capital that the Yu family's daughter wants to be your prince's concubine. What's going on?"
Ji Yunshu stayed in the mansion all day and never listened to the rumors outside.
Besides, it had been some time since the incident, and she thought the rumors should have died down.
From what Cen Xi said, the situation seems to be getting worse.
"Oh, it's spreading everywhere? What are people saying?"
She asked with interest.
Cen Xi said, "You're infertile, Prince Zhao is infertile, Miss Yu fell in love with Prince Zhao at first sight at the Princess' birthday banquet and said she would marry no one but him. Miss Yu and Prince Zhao are in love, but because of you, they can't be together, Miss Yu became a concubine for love... all sorts of things."
Just from these few sentences, Ji Yunshu could imagine how diverse the rumors were.
"Everyone is so free."
For such a simple thing to be spread like this, it must be due to someone being idle.
"Rumors are like that. Anyone can say a few words, and they will gradually become distorted."
Cen Xi asked curiously, "So is there any truth in this?"
Ji Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "It might be true that we are infertile."
After all, they had been married for two years without having any children.
Cen Xi's eyes widened a little, and the next words were a bit hot to his lips, but curiosity got the better of him: "Could it be that there is really something wrong with Prince Zhao's body?"
Ji Yunshu: "...How did the legend spread?"
Cen Xi: "It's said that Prince Zhao once broke his leg, which might affect his offspring. This rumor is the most widely circulated and has the most people believing it."
Although Ji Yunshu had heard from the beginning that someone was fanning the flames behind these rumors, Cen Xi's words made her realize that Zhao Shen might be behind it.
After all, most people don’t dare to bring up the fact that Zhao Shen had a broken leg.
Except Zhao Shen himself.
Ji Yunshu couldn't explain his mood for a moment.
Zhao Shen really doesn't seem to care about his reputation at all.
If three people say something, they will make a tiger. If more people say it, people who are lying will believe it to be true.
Under such circumstances, the fact that he fell in love with Miss Yu at first sight seemed inappropriate.
Ji Yunshu didn't know that Zhao Shen was also a master at disrupting things.
Seeing Ji Yunshu remained silent, Cen Xi asked cautiously, "Is this true?"
Ji Yunshu was speechless: "What do you think?"
As soon as Cen Xi heard her tone, he knew the rumor was groundless.
She patted her chest and said, "I'm scared to death. But the spread of rumors is also related to Prince Zhao himself. It's been going on for so long. If he doesn't clarify, people will think he is guilty."
Ji Yunshu: "How do you clarify this rumor?"
It takes only a piece of paper to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it.
Cen Xi said, "You are right. This is indeed impossible to clarify. I feel sorry for your son."
It's really uncomfortable to hear such a good man being spoken of like this.
Ji Yunshu's mouth twitched. She didn't feel sorry for Zhao Shen at all.
Not to mention that this might be his own work, the fact that he went out every day these days and did not show any abnormal behavior when he returned home could make Ji Yunshu conclude that he did not take other people's gossip to heart at all.
Cen Xi asked again, "I've also met Miss Yu Qi. She's truly a beauty. I've heard that the daughters of the Yu family in Jiangnan are very sought after. Is she really willing to be a concubine?"
Ji Yunshu said calmly, "We haven't even started dating yet. Talking about whether or not to be a concubine? She might not even be interested in Zhao Shen."
Just like Yao married Marquis Zhao just to find someone to take over, and Miss Yu is not yet at the point where she must be with Zhao Shen.
Ji Yunshu felt that a smart person would not only arrange one path for himself.
Cen Xi agreed with this statement very much: "You are right. There are so many noble sons in the capital. Since she comes from the Yu family, it is not difficult for her to pick a man who is not married. Why bother herself with trouble?"
Ji Yunshu felt a little regretful. Cen Xi was talking about ordinary girls.
If an ordinary girl encountered such a thing, she would naturally choose an unmarried man. The thing that the capital has the most is powerful and wealthy people.
There is no benefit in fighting Zhao Shen to the death, and success or failure will bring disgrace to your reputation.
They will also face Ji Yunshu and the Ji family.
Although the Ji family father and son are not here, there is still a queen mother in the palace.
The last person who competed with Ji Yunshu for a man was Yao Ruolan.
Until now, Yao Ruolan still follows Zhao Heng without any name or status.
If the girl from the Yu family doesn't handle things properly, her reputation will be ruined.
And Yu Qi is different.
Ji Yunshu didn't know if she had the ability to make her own choices. Even if she didn't, with her intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult for her to choose the best path for herself.
The most troublesome thing now is that she might be a spy from Prince Yong's Mansion.
In this case, not only will she not have the right to make her own choice, but she will also target Zhao Shen.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunshu felt uncomfortable.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. You can have someone pick a date for the dim sum shop to open. The shop in Jiangnan needs to be opened as soon as possible."
Jiangnan is far away and information transmission is slow. It would be troublesome if important things were delayed because of this.
Cen Xi nodded: "Don't worry, I know."
The two of them finished their discussion, and just as Ji Yunshu was about to get up and leave, he saw someone walking in from outside.
They are Princess Rong'an and Miss Yu Qi.
