"Who are you?" Su Ruojin looked at the man and had roughly guessed his identity.
This Zhao Tingsong had a sallow, bloodless complexion and dark circles under his eyes; he looked like someone who had indulged in excessive sexual activity.
"Oh, Cousin Jin hasn't met me yet. I am Zhao Tingsong, the second young master of the Zhao family." Zhao Tingsong introduced himself, squinting as he carefully looked Su Ruojin up and down.
"Why didn't you let me know you were coming to Yunqi, Cousin Jin? I'd come pick you up. You must be tired from your journey. Come on in."
Su Ruojin and Su Yiting could easily see the lewdness in Zhao Tingsong's eyes. Su Yiting was about to lash out when Su Ruojin gently tugged at his sleeve, causing him to hold back.
Su Ruojin's most urgent task right now is to see her grandmother; everything else can wait.
"Second Young Master, could you please take me to see my grandmother first?"
Zhao Tingsong's eyes darted around slightly, and he sighed deeply. "Cousin Jin, you must have seen the long queue at the entrance of our mansion. To tell you the truth, my grandfather and great-aunt suddenly fell ill for some reason. One is unconscious, and the other seems to have developed a mental disorder, remaining silent."
I specially asked someone to invite the imperial physicians to examine my grandparents. The physicians said that it would be beneficial for them to recuperate in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, so my grandfather and great-aunt are now recuperating at Yunquan Mountain Villa.
It takes at least half a day to walk from Yuncheng to Yunquan Manor, and it's getting late now. Why don't you stay here and rest for the night, Cousin Jin? We'll go together early tomorrow morning.”
"I won't trouble you, Second Young Master. I'm worried about my grandmother. You can go by yourself. I'll take my leave now."
Without waiting for Zhao Tingsong's reaction, Su Ruojin turned and left.
Zhao Tingsong's expression darkened. Did Su Ruojin think this was the Great Chu?
How dare you give him attitude!
"Let's go to the Third Prince's residence."
Back in the carriage, Su Ruojin instructed Yanluo, "Go back to the inn and take care of Yingzi and her daughter. The prescription doesn't need to be changed. Fifth Brother and I will go to Yunquan Manor first."
Yanluo was a little worried. "Miss, why don't I go with you? After all, we're new to Yuncheng and don't know anyone here."
Su Yiting said, "It's alright, I'm here. I've been to Yuncheng many times before, and besides, I have Su family guards with me."
Yanluo could only nod and return to the inn first.
As the carriage moved forward, Su Yiting asked, "Little sister, what do you think?"
Su Ruojin shook her head: "I haven't seen my grandmother yet, so I don't know what's going on. But Zhao Tingsong, even though his grandfather is in a coma, doesn't show a trace of worry in his eyes."
Not only that, Su Ruojin had just smelled a woman's fragrance on Zhao Tingsong and noticed some lip rouge on his collar, clearly indicating that he had just come from a place frequented by beautiful women.
Considering that Zhao Guangtao was assassinated in the Great Chu, it was likely that Zhao Tingsong was involved. It's not surprising that someone who could harm his own grandfather would do such a thing.
The Third Prince's Residence.
Zhao Tingsong hurriedly arrived at the training room, bowed to Yun Shao, and said, "Greetings, Third Prince."
"What is it?" Yun Shao asked casually as he practiced his sword.
"Your Highness, the other jade pendant has been found."
"Oh~" Yun Shao stopped what she was doing and looked at Zhao Tingsong: "Where is he?"
"In the hands of my great-aunt's granddaughter from the Great Chu Kingdom."
"So that's how it is. No wonder we couldn't find any trace of this jade pendant in Yunqi. Where is she now?"
If he were still in the Great Chu, Yun Shao wouldn't mind going back again to personally retrieve the jade pendant.
Last time, Xiao Yanchu took his Soul-Snatching Grass, but still let Zhao Guangtao return to Yunqi. Yun Shao held Xiao Yanchu accountable for this and would settle the score with him sooner or later.
"She has arrived in Yuncheng and should be on her way to Yunquan Manor now."
You've arrived in Yuncheng?
Yun Shao took the handkerchief handed to him by the guard and wiped his sweat, glancing sideways at Zhao Tingsong: "What, do I need to teach you something so simple?"
