Chapter 380 If I had known this would happen, why would I have done it in the first place?
Both men knew that even if they had determined that someone had tampered with the container, they couldn't simply and brute-force solve the problem. Without designing a measuring tool that could prevent such incidents, or without establishing a more robust regulatory system, they wouldn't be able to address the root cause.
The person who suddenly popped up in He Zhaojun's mind, perhaps Shao Shang would have a good solution. However, now that she was getting older, her body felt heavy. Although she was still full of energy all day, seeing General Huo's nervous look, He Zhaojun didn't even dare to go to her easily.
Unexpectedly, Shao Shang came over with her bulging belly: "Sister Zhaojun, I heard from Zisheng that you and Ziduan seem to be in some trouble. I wonder if I can help?"
Huo Buyi followed her closely, staring at the person in front of him without blinking, afraid that she would make a mistake. He Zhaojun smiled and said, "Shao Shang, I don't know how long it will take for this little darling to come out. I dare not tire you out."
"Doctor Sun said the pregnancy is still more than two months away. How could I be so frail?" Shao Shang glanced at Huo Buyi, who was standing nearby. She leaned over and whispered to He Zhaojun, "To be honest, sometimes I even have the illusion that it's Zisheng who's pregnant."
She glanced at Wen Ziduan, who was sitting beside her. "You haven't thought about the past yet? Did you fall in love with the Third Prince again?" Faced with her teasing, He Zhaojun thought carefully and shook her head. "No, I don't. Although I've accepted that I'm He Zhaojun and am trying to adapt to my identity, it's obvious that everything I think about Wen Ziduan brings back is just heartbreaking."
Shao Shang almost laughed out loud.
It served her right. The Third Prince had been such a scoundrel before. To force He Zhaojun to break off her engagement with Lou Yao, he concealed the news of her father and brother's faked death, and then forced her into marriage without even notifying her. Now He Zhaojun had remembered some scattered fragments, and even knew to come to her when he was researching something new, but she had never remembered Wen Ziduan's kindness at all.
"Let's go and ignore these two people." Shao Shang pulled He Zhaojun towards the bedroom, leaving behind two round heads, making the two men look at each other in surprise. They always felt that this scene was familiar.
When Shao Shang saw the scene in their bedroom, he almost laughed to tears. "Sister Zhaojun, you once told me that the Third Prince wanted you to wait on him every morning and that he was deliberately trying to make things difficult for you. What's going on now? Who's making things difficult for whom?"
The bedroom was filled with He Zhaojun's belongings, making it difficult for them to even step inside. And today, He Zhaojun's outer garment was buttoned backwards, a clear sign of Wen Ziduan's handiwork. Now, the two of them had a reversal of fortune, with Wen Ziduan personally fetching water every day to wash and condition He Zhaojun's face.
He Zhaojun quickly fastened the buttons of her outer robe. She curled her lips and said, "I only let him go around the screen when I'm in a good mood. He's so slow at wiping people's faces, and he's always clumsy."
At this point, Shao Shang could imagine how helpless Wen Ziduan must have felt when he fetched water for He Zhaojun to wash every day, looking at this small, slightly dark, shiny face. However, she was unwilling to show her true face, and didn't care about her image, leaving Wen Ziduan with no place to use his energy.
"Forget it. These gentlemen's thoughts are too complicated. I'm too lazy to guess. They'll speak out when they're anxious." Shao Shang had already learned a pattern from her interactions with Huo Buzhi. She unfolded the blueprint on the table and looked at the pattern drawn by He Zhaojun. "What is the function of this thing? Why did you guarantee the exact weight?"
He Zhaojun pointed at the simple device and said, "The world is fair. This is called a balance."
