Chapter 21 Miss Ji Really Likes You
Xiao Yue originally came to laugh at Ji Yunshu.
There are many noble ladies in the capital, but Ji Yunshu is the only one who was born into a marquis's family, whose father and brother hold military power, and who has an aunt who is the empress dowager in the palace.
She was so popular that even princesses and daughters of the royal family had to keep a distance from her.
Ji Yunshu was indeed impeccable before, but things are different now.
The noble daughter of the Ji family actually married a disabled man.
Xiao Yue has been in a very good mood every time she thinks about this matter recently.
She came early today just to see Ji Yunshu's frustrated and miserable look.
So what if you have a noble status?
In the eyes of the second son of the Zhao family, isn't she even as good as her cousin whose family has fallen on hard times?
Although Yao had issued a gag order regarding what happened on Ji Yunshu's wedding night, there was something fishy about it, so how could people not investigate?
In just a few days, I knew everything I needed to know.
In people's eyes, it was a bit absurd for Zhao Heng to hang out with another woman on his wedding night, but it was not a wise move for Ji Yunshu to change her husband on the spot.
As for men, which one can live peacefully with a woman?
Marrying a disabled person is truly ruining your life.
Facing Ji Yunshu's unyielding question, Xiao Yue felt that she was just trying to show off. She sneered, "It's already this late, why are you still pretending? Even marrying someone can cause trouble. Don't your family love you? Why didn't they come forward to make the decision for you this time?"
Ji Yunshu actually didn't want to bother with this girl who was obviously lacking something in her head. After all, the girl's ending in the book was not very good.
But with so many people watching, she remained silent, as if she had admitted defeat.
"My family has already stood up for me. From status to looks and talent, the Second Young Master Zhao is no match for the Crown Prince. The man I married went from the Second Young Master to the Crown Prince. Isn't that me taking advantage?"
Xiao Yue sneered: "What kind of bargain is this? No matter how good Prince Zhao is, he is still a cripple. If I were you, I would be too embarrassed to show my face to others."
Ji Yunshu was really annoyed by this kind of person who couldn't figure things out. She said in a slightly cold tone, "Miss Xiao, please be careful with your words. Although the prince has difficulty walking, he has never done anything wrong, nor has he wronged anyone. Why would I be ashamed to face others if I married him?"
In this life, who can be sure that they will have a safe and smooth life?
Xiao Yue comes from a royal family and has a noble status, but he also has to bear corresponding responsibilities.
After King Yong came to power, he negotiated peace with Mobei, and Xiao Yue was named a princess and married.
Later, the two countries went to war again, and Xiao Yue was killed by the Mobei people on the battlefield as a sacrifice.
Xiao Yue looked at the coldness between Ji Yunshu's eyebrows and eyes, and was stunned for a moment.
Ji Yunshu thought about this and instead of feeling happy, she felt somewhat disheartened. "I chose to marry Prince Zhao. In my heart, even though he's disabled, he lives a decent life and there's nothing wrong with him. If you don't like my marriage, then I wish you all the best and marry the right man you want."
Xiao Yue had never seen Ji Yunshu like this before. In the past, they would always start fighting whenever they met, because they were both equally capable.
Now, the aura of Ji Yunshu completely overshadowed her.
It seems like she is the one who is not presentable.
Ji Yunshu was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore, so he turned around and left.
Xiao Yue was left alone. She glared at the people gathered around to watch the excitement and said angrily, "What are you looking at? What's so good about it?"
After saying this, he flicked his handkerchief and left.
Wait until everyone here has left, behind the flowers not far away.
A man in a royal blue brocade robe smiled at Zhao Shen, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and said, "It seems that Miss Ji really likes you."
Although Zhao Shen's face showed no expression, a faint smile appeared in his eyes: "Are you feeling sorry for your sister?"
The person with Zhao Shen was Xiao Yu, the prince of Lin'an County.
He waved a folding fan in his hand, looking like a playboy. He shook his head and said, "It's just a quarrel between young ladies. What's there to be upset about? Yue'er has been spoiled by my father and mother to the point of being ignorant of the heavens and the earth. She dares to say anything she wants. It's time for her to be taught a lesson."
Zhao Shen understood that he was trying to plead for his sister and said indifferently, "I've heard all kinds of unpleasant things over the years, so I wouldn't bother with a little girl. But your sister should be taught a lesson. She's so easily used as a pawn, and she's the one who suffers."
"You mean..."
Xiao Yu's expression grew serious.
Zhao Shen laughed and said, "Is there some fundamental conflict between your sister and Yun Shu? What good would it do for her to come here today to mock and humiliate Yun Shu?"
Although the little girl's previous quarrels often had no reason and no need for any benefit, in Zhao Shen's view, Xiao Yue's behavior that harmed others and did not benefit herself was really inexplicable.
Xiao Yu nodded: "You are right. When my family talked about you before, my mother felt sorry for you. I am not the kind of person who would use your disability to humiliate Ji Yunshu."
After saying that, Xiao Yu smiled again and said, "Don't worry this time. Miss Ji is not someone who will suffer any loss."
Zhao Shen ignored his teasing and pushed the wheelchair forward.
Xiao Yu quickly followed and helped push his wheelchair: "What exactly are you doing here today? You're not worried that Miss Ji can't handle it on her own, are you?"
Zhao Shen discovered that the brother and sister had one thing in common: they both talked a lot.
He asked nonchalantly, "Don't you have anything to do? Why are you following me?"
Xiao Yu casually plucked a flower and plucked its petals while saying, "What could possibly happen at a banquet like this? If I hadn't known you were coming, I wouldn't have bothered to come. Why did you have someone watching Zhao Heng and Wei Yuanmin today? Are they related in some way?"
Zhao Shen glanced at him and said, "I don't know how many times these two have met in private, and you don't even know what their relationship is? Are all your people freeloaders?"
Xiao Yu clenched the flowers in his hand tightly, not even bothering to wipe the flower juice from his hands. "Zhao Heng and Wei Yuanmin? Are you sure?"
Zhao Shen looked at me and said, "Do you think I'm joking?"
Xiao Yu also knew that although Zhao Shen and Zhao Heng did not have a good relationship, he would not say such things.
He looked at the red flower juice in his hand, which looked like blood. The smile on his face had completely disappeared. "When you suddenly asked me to investigate Prince Yong, I discovered that Yongzhou's frequent contact with the capital was abnormal, especially with Princess Taining's residence. Although I don't have a clue about other things, but... Zhao Heng is your brother after all."
Zhao Shen is not a person who acts without purpose. If Prince Yong really has ulterior motives and Princess Taining is involved, then Zhao Heng will be linked to Wei Yuanmin, and the Changxing Marquisate will also be implicated.
A sneer appeared on Zhao Shen's lips: "Just do your research, don't worry about these."
Ji Yunshu hadn't walked out for a few steps when he ran into Wei Yuanmin, one of the owners of the princess's mansion, who was supposed to come out to greet the guests at the beginning.
Wei Yuanmin seemed unaware that she had just had an argument with Xiao Yue. Smiling, she came up to Ji Yunshu and said, "It's been a long time since I last saw Ji's sister. Where are you going? Are you blaming me for not hosting you well?"
Ji Yunshu took a breath and felt that it would be better to quarrel with Xiao Yue than to deal with this smiling but treacherous man in front of him.
"How could that be? I was just walking around because I was bored."
Wei Yuanmin said, "Sister Ji felt bored. It's really my fault for not hosting her well. I've asked someone to prepare some fun things. Come and play with us."
As he spoke, he pulled Ji Yunshu towards the pavilion in front.
