Just as Su Ruojin had predicted, after hearing that Steward Lu had committed suicide, Zhao Guangtao no longer insisted that his family go to Sucheng.
When Zhao Jingyi learned that Butler Lu was dead, she couldn't sit still any longer.
what to do?
what to do!
It must be that Grandfather discovered that Steward Lu had poisoned Su Ruojin.
But why wasn't Su Ruojin poisoned?
Butler Lu wouldn't betray him, would he? His son is still in his hands; he loves his son dearly and would never betray him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jingyi felt a little more at ease.
At this moment, Green Willow walked in, her face somewhat panicked. She came to Zhao Jingyi's side and whispered, "Consort, news just came from over there that Lu Rong's son has been rescued."
"What!" Zhao Jingyi's face turned deathly pale instantly.
Green Willow knew the urgency of the situation, and her voice was filled with tension, "Consort, do you think the master might have found out? What should we do now?"
"No, no, Grandfather shouldn't have found out yet, otherwise he would have come looking for me long ago. Besides, I'm now the Third Prince's concubine, and also Grandfather's own granddaughter. He wouldn't make things difficult for me for the sake of an outsider, would he?" Zhao Jingyi's words seemed more like she was comforting herself.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Jingyi said to Lvliu, "Go back to the Third Prince's residence and tell him that I want to go back."
The death of Steward Lu shocked her. She felt that Su Ruojin was a bit strange and dared not stay in the Zhao residence any longer.
"Yes." Green Willow hurriedly left.
At this moment, Zhao Jingyi had no idea what she would face when she returned to the Third Prince's residence; otherwise, she would never have wanted to go back.
When Green Willow returned to the Third Prince's residence, the Third Prince did not hesitate this time and immediately sent someone to fetch Zhao Jingyi back to the residence.
Zhao Jingyi was so guilty that she didn't even dare to face Zhao Guangtao. She simply told a servant to tell Zhao Guangtao and then hurriedly left the Zhao residence.
She was as glamorous when she arrived at the Zhao residence as she returned in a sorry state.
Hearing that Zhao Jingyi didn't even dare to show her face before returning to the Third Prince's residence, Su Ruojin understood everything.
However, she wasn't in a hurry. Firstly, the source of the Netherworld Powder hadn't been found out yet. Secondly, Zhao Jingyi was her great-uncle's granddaughter, and her great-uncle already knew the whole story, but he hadn't made any move yet, so he hadn't figured out how to deal with it. She wanted to give her great-uncle some time.
Anyway, there will be a good show waiting for Zhao Jingyi when she returns to the mansion.
Su Ruojin didn't believe that Yun Shao would remain silent when he discovered something was wrong with his body; men are very particular about this.
At the Third Prince's residence, Zhao Jingyi had just returned home when a servant came to inform her that the Third Prince wanted her to come over.
Zhao Jingyi was overjoyed. His Highness must have missed her; he had just returned to the manor and summoned her.
Zhao Jingyi quickly changed her clothes and went to the Third Prince's room.
She had barely entered the door when Yun Shao grabbed her and hugged her tightly.
Zhao Jingyi's face flushed red, and she murmured softly, "Your Highness~"
Yun Shao didn't say anything, he just threw her on the bed and pounced on her.
But for the entire duration of an incense stick's burning, he did nothing more than spit on Zhao Jingyi.
Zhao Jingyi sensed something was wrong, but didn't think much of it. She panted softly, her eyes filled with seductive allure, and reached out to hug Yun Shao's neck, "Your Highness~~~~", anticipating Yun Shao's next move.
Unexpectedly, Yun Shao, with a gloomy face, got up and left her.
Zhao Jingyi was stunned. What's wrong with Your Highness?
Was it because I didn't serve them well enough?
