Chapter 142: Wedding Consummation
"Ah?" Ji Yunshu didn't expect him to be so straightforward. "This is just our speculation. There's no evidence at all. Will the Marquis believe it?"
Zhao Shen said: "Anyway, I have told him everything. It's up to him to believe it or not."
Ji Yunshu: "Isn't this... a bit unfair?"
"He's so stupid that he got tricked by a woman. How can he expect me to be kind?"
Zhao Shen said bluntly.
Ji Yunshu was helpless: "Please be kind to me, he is your father after all."
Zhao Shen stiffened when he heard her words, then said, "No matter what, my mother won't survive, and my relationship with him is destined to never be like that of an ordinary father and son. Do you think I'm unfilial?"
He would not deny that his father was very good to him. In other families, every time there is a stepmother, there is also a stepfather.
But his father raised him personally since he was a child, and he turned a blind eye to the resentment and alienation his father felt towards him after he learned the real reason for his mother's death.
Even though he became disabled, he still insisted on making him the crown prince and letting him inherit the marquisate.
Ji Yunshu leaned in his arms and smiled, "Every family has its own problems. Ordinary families don't always have loving fathers and filial sons. It's normal that you can't get over that hurdle in your heart. Take it slow. Maybe one day, you will understand him."
Regret is the norm in life. They are all ordinary mortals. Why torture themselves with things that cannot be changed?
She hoped that one day Zhao Shen would be able to come to his senses on his own, rather than being forced to forgive Lord Zhao out of filial piety or other reasons.
Zhao Shen rested his chin on Ji Yunshu's shoulder and nodded.
While the two were talking, it was already completely dark.
Ji Yunshu looked up and asked him, "Are you hungry? Do you want to set up the meal?"
Zhao Shen reluctantly let go of her: "Put it on."
Ji Yunshu thought he looked inexplicably cute, so she cupped his handsome face and gave him a kiss.
After the kiss, she wanted to get out of bed and eat.
However, Zhao Shen was aroused by her gentle kiss. Their relationship had been progressing rapidly these days, and hugging each other was a common occurrence. Ji Yunshu even liked to kiss him whenever she had the chance.
This made him angry, but he turned around and went about his business as if nothing had happened.
Zhao Shen felt aggrieved, but it was inconvenient to be outside. Now that he was home, he didn't want to endure it any longer.
So he pulled Ji Yunshu back into his arms.
When Ji Yunshu reacted, Zhao Shen had already held her in his arms and kissed her lips.
His lips were a little soft and a little cold, but his breath on her face was hot.
He didn't stop with the kiss, but instead put his hand on the back of her neck and sucked and licked her lips hard.
Ji Yunshu gradually became breathless and couldn't help but reach out and push him.
Zhao Shen stopped, panting and letting go of her. He touched her flushed cheek and whispered in her ear, "You always flirt and then run away. What's wrong with you?"
Ji Yunshu was confused: "When did I flirt with you?"
She had been out a lot recently, and she felt that she was very careful with her words and actions and had not deliberately teased him.
"You always touch me and kiss me."
Zhao Shen was confident and righteous.
Ji Yunshu didn't expect that the common practices of modern love were seen as deliberate teasing in his eyes.
If she had to say so, then she really had nothing to say.
She fell into Zhao Shen's arms, her hair a little messy, looking very beautiful.
Her eyes were a little misty and sparkling.
Zhao Shen suddenly stretched out his hand to block her eyes: "Don't look at me like that."
Feeling his somewhat tense body, Ji Yunshu felt that if this continued, something bad would happen.
She quickly pushed him away, stood up and said, "Let's have dinner first. I'm hungry."
Ji Yunshu asked someone to come in and light the lamp, and soon the maids served dinner.
Zhao Shen sent everyone away and personally poured a glass of wine for Ji Yunshu. He said softly, "It's fruit wine. It tastes very good. Try it."
Ji Yunshu felt that he was like the Big Bad Wolf who tricked Little Red Riding Hood, but they had been married for so long and their relationship was very good.
Some things just happen naturally.
She didn't resist.
But he still smiled and said, "Are you trying to get me drunk on purpose?"
Zhao Shen poured himself a glass as well, sat down next to her and said, "We didn't drink the wedding wine on our wedding night, so let's make it up to her today, okay?"
His dark eyes were as deep as ink. Ji Yunshu could clearly see her own reflection in them. She seemed to be bewitched and said, "Okay."
The fruit wine tastes sweet with a hint of floral fragrance, and it brings a hint of warmth when it enters the lungs.
It was the first time for Ji Yunshu to drink this kind of wine, so he couldn't help but ask, "What kind of wine is this?"
Seeing that she liked it, Zhao Shen poured her another cup and said, "Lihuabai, it is said that the winemaker is no longer alive. I only have three jars, which have been buried for more than ten years."
Ji Yunshu looked at the clear wine in the glass and didn't expect it to be a rare wine.
She couldn't help but drink another cup and asked, "Where are the other two jars?"
Zhao Shen put some food in her bowl and said, "Eat something first and then drink. The remaining two jars are buried under the tree in the backyard. You can dig them up yourself if you want to drink later."
Ji Yunshu ate the food obediently, and then drank the whole jar of wine with Zhao Shen.
She didn't remember when the maid came in to clean up the dishes and cups, she only remembered that when Zhao Shen carried her to the bed, her body felt as hot as if it was on fire.
"Are you sure you're giving me real wine?"
She couldn't help but mutter.
Zhao Shen kissed her lips and panted and laughed: "What's wrong with that?"
Ji Yunshu put her arms around his neck and bit his lip: "There's nothing serious about it."
Zhao Shen pulled her into the quilt.
When he woke up the next day, Ji Yunshu collapsed in the quilt, feeling sore all over and not wanting to move at all.
But when he thought about having to pay his respects to Mrs. Yao today, he struggled to get up.
Zhao Shen had gotten up long ago. Seeing her drowsy and about to get up, he said, "If you're sleepy, just sleep a little longer. I'll have someone tell Yao that you're not feeling well and won't be going to pay your respects today."
Ji Yunshu: "That's not good. It's not like I can't get up."
Zhao Shen pushed her back into bed and said, "Don't force yourself to do this kind of face-saving thing in the future. Our relationship with her will never be good anyway."
Ji Yunshu remembered that he had already told Lord Zhao about Yao's affairs and Zhao Heng's life story, so he asked, "Are you ready to deal with her?"
No matter how careful you are, you can never guard against a thief in your own home.
Having such a poisonous snake at home is indeed a big trouble, and you may be bitten at any time.
Zhao Shen said: "I guess she will come to deal with me first."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Then we should be able to maintain superficial peace for a while. After all, she's so patient. And given Zhao Heng's current situation, even if something happens to you, the title may not necessarily fall to him."
In the book, Zhao Shen died only after Zhao Heng had achieved great things by stepping on the corpses of the Ji family father and son.
Zhao Heng naturally inherited the title.
But now, Zhao Heng is nothing and has no support from the Marquis. The news that Zhao Shen's leg has healed has just spread.
Relying on Yao's caution, she will not act rashly.
After all, there will be plenty of time in the future, so why bother fighting for this moment?
Zhao Shen said: "I have sent someone to the Dark Pavilion to buy Zhao Heng's background. If the Dark Pavilion is really related to Prince Yong's Mansion, then Yao will know it soon. I suspect that Zhao Heng is not my father's biological son, and she will not have time."
