Chapter 641 The marriage continues as usual
Ji Yunshu had originally just wanted to ignore Aunt Lin, but upon hearing her threatening words, her expression turned cold. "When Second Sister embraced the Fourth Young Master at the Marquis of Jingning's mansion, why didn't she consider that she was a daughter of the mansion and her actions would affect the mansion's reputation?"
Aunt Lin heard the coldness in her words and shuddered.
She knew that her words had angered Ji Yunshu, and Zhao Fei's behavior in Jingning Marquis Mansion also made Ji Yunshu dissatisfied.
But she always believed in her judgment of Ji Yunshu, she was a soft-hearted person.
Aunt Lin bowed her head and wept, "I know the Crown Prince's wife finds Fei'er's behavior shameful, but she's a concubine's daughter who isn't favored by the mistress, and she's destined to have no good marriage. By doing that, isn't she risking ruin? I taught her that, so blame me if you want."
Ji Yunshu is indeed soft-hearted, but she never uses her compassion where it shouldn't be used.
Facing Aunt Lin's sobbing, she just looked at her quietly, and then said: "Aunt Lin seems to have forgotten that besides my second sister, you also have a son and a daughter. Are you sure you want to take the affairs of the Jingning Marquis Mansion on yourself?"
After all, it was not a glorious thing. Zhao Fei was going to be someone's concubine anyway. Ji Yunshu and the third lady felt that there was no need to investigate what happened, so the matter was suppressed from the beginning.
But if Aunt Lin insisted on exposing the matter, Ji Yunshu didn't mind settling the score with her.
A concubine instigated the young lady to do that kind of thing at someone else's party, and even the Third Master couldn't protect Aunt Lin.
It can only be said that the Third Madam no longer cares about the Third Master, otherwise she could have directly punished him with this handle.
Aunt Lin really showed a look of fear: "No, that matter has nothing to do with me."
She denied it flatly.
He actually gave up on the daughter he wanted to save so easily.
Ji Yunshu said coldly, "In that case, what else does Aunt Lin want to talk to me about?"
Aunt Lin staggered out.
Lan Yin, who had watched the entire process, sighed, "How could Aunt Lin think she could save the Second Young Miss without sacrificing anything? She even wants you to beg the Empress Dowager. I wonder where she got the nerve to do that."
Her master has never asked the Queen Mother for help with his own affairs.
Ji Yunshu also sighed: "Actually, if she is really willing to risk it, I wouldn't mind helping her. Unfortunately, in her heart, Zhao Fei is not the most important thing after all."
Everyone has to pay the price for their actions. Aunt Lin admitted that she was the one who instigated Zhao Fei, so she can no longer stay in this mansion.
In this case, even if she rescued Zhao Fei, the Third Lady would not say anything.
But she just wanted to save people without losing anything herself. How could such a good thing happen in the world?
Lan Yin felt a little regretful: "Let's not talk about the Second Miss. She brought this upon herself. But Miss Yu is lucky. She just got engaged to the Qi family and something like this happened. I'm afraid this marriage will not happen."
Ji Yunshu also felt it was a pity, and thought that Yu Qi would never jump around in front of her again.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Shen came back in the evening with a piece of news that the marriage between Yu Qi and the sixth prince of Qi would remain as planned.
Ji Yunshu: "How could that be? Isn't the Yu family very powerful? They can't even decide their own daughter's marriage?"
Zhao Shen said, "He's just Yu Qi. He's not important enough for the Yu family to go all out."
Ji Yunshu suddenly remembered Aunt Lin who came to him to plead for mercy.
"What leverage does the Marquis of Jingning have on the Yu family?"
If this were not the case, the Yu family would not have to sacrifice a daughter for no reason.
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "Smart. It's true that the Jingning Marquisate is related to Prince Yong. I gave them something related to the Yu family and Prince Yong. That thing won't cause any serious damage to the Yu family, but it will also cause some trouble. If sacrificing a daughter can solve the problem, they know what to do."
"And they knew that the emperor wanted to take action against them."
Ji Yunshu didn't know what to say. Zhao Shen's move was actually quite ruthless.
The important thing is that he was not targeting the Yu family, but only Yu Qi.
"Why are you so cruel all of a sudden?"
She asked in confusion.
Zhao Shen said, "Ever since she started targeting me, I've never thought of letting her go. I wanted to follow her to investigate some things. However, those are not as important as you."
Ji Yunshu: "Actually, I don't mind it that much, and she might know where the antidote to the poison in your body is."
Zhao Shen hugged her, resting his head on her shoulder. Hearing her words, he gently bit her earlobe and said, "I hope you mind her. I don't like all the men who have relationships with you, and you should also dislike all the women who get close to me."
Ji Yunshu: "I really don't like her."
Zhao Shen's lips lingered on her fair, slender neck, his voice becoming unclear: "Don't worry about the antidote. When she is in dire straits and realizes that neither the Yu family nor Prince Yong will save her, she will choose to save herself."
Only then did Ji Yunshu understand his intention.
"What on earth was she thinking that she would mess with you?"
In fact, if you study Zhao Shen carefully, you will find that, except for Ji Yunshu, no woman who provokes Zhao Shen will have a good ending.
Just look at Lu Ningshuang, once the most talented woman in the capital.
Yu Qi doesn't seem like a stupid person.
Why would you come here without even knowing who Zhao Shen is?
Ji Yunshu didn't understand.
However, Zhao Shen knew very well what Yu Qi was thinking.
"She's pretty and a bit smart, and she's been well-educated since she was young. With the Yu family and Prince Yong behind her, it's no surprise that she thinks highly of herself."
Ji Yunshu thought about what he said and felt that Yu Qi was not that difficult to understand.
Because the evidence was conclusive, the Ministry of Justice quickly made a verdict on the Jingning Marquisate.
Marquis Jingning also murdered his biological father and younger brother's family for the title.
He was directly sentenced to immediate execution.
Except for several other important people, the entire family of Jingning Marquis was sentenced to death by beheading and exiled.
This also includes Yu Qi, who had just been engaged to the Sixth Prince of Qi.
The place of exile was in the north, not far from Youzhou.
During the peace talks with Mobei, Zhao Shen took back many places with unclear borders and those that originally belonged to Daxia but were occupied by the people of Mobei over the years.
There are not many people in those places, and most of the exiled prisoners are sent there nowadays.
Zhao Shen had people keeping an eye on Yu Qi, and neither the Yu family nor King Yong's men could do anything.
The day before the Qi family was exiled, news came from the prison that Yu Qi wanted to see Ji Yunshu.
As soon as Ji Yunshu heard it, he knew that Zhao Shen’s plan had succeeded.
I just don’t understand why Yu Qi didn’t see Zhao Shen at this time and why he wanted to see her.
On the way to send Ji Yunshu to the Ministry of Justice Prison, Zhao Shen explained her doubts: "She may think that compared to me, you are more likely to be soft-hearted and easier to persuade."
Ji Yunshu was speechless: "How did these people know that I'm soft-hearted?"
She didn't feel like she had done anything wrong, so why did everyone see her soft-heartedness as her weakness and try so hard to take advantage of it?
