Zhao Jingyi really wanted to see how Su Ruojin treated Zhao Tingyi, but Zhao Guangtao had already left, so she couldn't stay and had to follow him out.
"Grandfather, what's wrong with my eldest brother?" Since no one answered her earlier, Zhao Jingyi asked again.
Zhao Guangtao shook his head and sighed, "Your older brother isn't fully awake yet. He can only open his eyes, but he has no consciousness."
Zhao Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief, but put on a concerned expression: "Grandfather, don't worry, with Cousin Jin here, my eldest brother will be fine."
At this moment, everyone's attention was on Zhao Tingyi, and no one cared about how Zhao Jingyi addressed Su Ruojin.
Zhao Jingyi wasn't in a hurry to leave. She waited at the door, wanting to see if Zhao Tingyi would really wake up.
Half an hour later, Su Ruojin came out and looked at Zhao Guangtao. "Grand Uncle, don't worry, my cousin's body is fine. He has been unconscious for too long and his brain needs some time to adjust. As for when he will truly wake up, it depends on his will."
She then turned to Zhao Jingning and said, "Cousin Ning, if you have time, you can talk to your cousin more; it will help him regain his senses."
"Okay, I understand." Zhao Jingning turned and went into the house to keep her older brother company.
She and her older brother have had a very good relationship since childhood. If you were to ask who her older brother cares about the most, she would definitely be one of them.
"Cousin Jin, do you mean that Big Brother can really wake up?" Zhao Jingyi asked nervously.
Su Ruojin glanced at Zhao Jingyi. "Consort Zhao, if I remember correctly, according to the rules of Yunqi, shouldn't you bow to me and address me as Princess?"
Zhao Jingyi was stunned, her anger rising within her. Why?!
Everyone else in the Zhao family calls her that, but she has to do it because of herself!
Green Willow sensed her concubine's anger and quickly tugged at her sleeve.
Su Ruojin was right. If the concubine were to overstep her bounds in any way, she would be the one to suffer.
Reminded by Green Willow, Zhao Jingyi clenched her fists, suppressing her anger, and forced a smile that was more like a grimace. "We're all family. That's how Grandfather and my sister address each other. Calling me cousin is more intimate, and besides..."
Su Ruojin raised her hand to stop Zhao Jingyi from speaking, "Consort Zhao, this princess would not dare to presume to be related to someone like you. From now on, we should still treat each other according to our rank. Please follow the rules, Consort Zhao. Otherwise, if word gets out, people will say that Consort Zhao does not know etiquette and that it will damage the reputation of the Third Prince's residence. Don't blame me for not reminding you then."
"You!" Zhao Jingyi could no longer maintain her smile. She flung her sleeve and left. She felt that if she stayed any longer, Su Ruojin would definitely drive her crazy.
But Su Ruojin was of a higher status than her, so she couldn't find fault with Su Ruojin.
Lu Rong, you piece of trash! If Su Ruojin isn't dead by today, I'll have your son killed!
Zhao Jingyi cursed inwardly.
Su Ruojin had done all she could for Zhao Tingyi; now it was up to fate.
She comforted her great-uncle and grandmother before returning to her own room.
"An Yi," Su Ruojin called out.
An Yi appeared out of nowhere and knelt before her. "What are your orders, Master?"
What's the story behind the people arrested last night?
Although Su Ruojin was very sleepy, she still noticed the noises in the night. However, with An Yi and the others keeping watch, she wasn't worried at all.
"Your Majesty, that man is Lu Rong. He has already confessed that Consort Zhao kidnapped his son and forced him to do this."
Butler Lu was just an ordinary butler in the Zhao household. Without special training, he couldn't withstand the interrogation of the Regent's Palace guards and confessed in no time.
"Oh, so Lu Rong is one of the Third Prince's men?" Su Ruojin asked thoughtfully.
How could Steward Lu, who had served as steward in the Zhao household for so many years, not have some self-defense skills? How could his son be so easily kidnapped? Su Ruojin did not believe that the Third Prince was not behind this.
It's unlikely that Zhao Jingyi alone can control Butler Lu.
"Who gave him the Netherworld Powder?" Su Ruojin continued to ask.
