Chapter 467 Zhao Shuning is dead
The topic inevitably took a shameless turn.
At first, Xiao Baozhu thought that Jiang Nansheng, an unmarried woman, would feel embarrassed, but as soon as they started talking to each other, Xiao Baozhu discovered something extraordinary.
"Ah Sheng, you, you and Lin Zheng...you..."
Jiang Nansheng was very frank, "Although we are not husband and wife in name, we are husband and wife in reality."
Xiao Baozhu stood up suddenly, her face full of anger.
"Did Lin Zheng force you to do that? I'm going to settle the score with him right now!"
Jiang Nansheng pushed her back, "No, I'm quite happy with it."
Xiao Baozhu still didn't believe it, "Ah Sheng, don't speak for him. He must have deceived you with his sweet words!"
Lu Zhiran also reached out to pull Xiao Baozhu back, "Baozhu, you underestimate Nan Sheng. If she doesn't want to, Lin Zheng can't trick her."
She watched coldly as Lin Zheng was completely dominated by Jiang Nansheng. If Jiang Nansheng didn't want to, he wouldn't dare to step out of line.
Xiao Baozhu was just short-sighted and always felt that Jiang Nansheng would suffer a loss.
Xing Chuxue didn't know Lin Zheng, so she didn't speak rashly, and looked like she was waiting to hear what was going on.
Jiang Nansheng held Xiao Baozhu's hand and spoke in a serious tone.
"Baozhu, I know you care about me and are afraid that I'll be bullied, but don't worry, A Zheng is fine, I haven't suffered any loss."
"Then when are you going to get married? He has nothing, what can he use to marry you? Humph, then let him marry into the family."
Jiang Nansheng shook his head, "I don't plan to get married."
Xiao Baozhu was stunned, and Lu Zhiran and Xing Chuxue's expressions also paused. The three of them all looked at her with six eyes.
"Then you..."
Jiang Nansheng: "Aren't we fine like this now? Why do we have to get married?"
Her tone was casual and didn't sound like a joke.
Xiao Baozhu obviously hadn't thought about this situation, and her mind was a little confused.
"In the future, I will leave the capital and travel the mountains and rivers of Da Qi on my own, encounter more difficult and complicated diseases, and learn from the experiences of my predecessors and colleagues. Once I get married and have children, perhaps I will be trapped."
The responsibility of taking care of her husband and children is too heavy for her to bear, and she is indeed not interested in it.
At the moment, Lin Zheng is very willing to accompany her to travel around the rivers and mountains, and will not interfere with her decision.
But after getting married, he may not be willing to do so anymore, and he may have new expectations and demands on himself.
Jiang Nansheng was unwilling to compromise, nor did he want the harmonious relationship between the two to be destroyed.
Rather than this, it is better to maintain the status quo.
If he is willing to follow, Jiang Nansheng will treat him consistently.
If one day he gets tired and exhausted, Jiang Nansheng will not force him to stay.
Without the constraints of a marriage contract, their relationship might even become closer.
Jiang Nansheng calmly spoke of his aspirations and ambitions. The few of them were shocked at first, but gradually calmed down, and a complex emotion unconsciously arose in their hearts.
"Do you think I'm a heretic and shameless?"
Xiao Baozhu immediately shook her head, "Whoever dares to say that to you, I will be the first to pull out his tongue."
Jiang Nansheng smiled.
She knew that Baozhu would always stand by her side unconditionally.
Lu Zhiran said, "Your ideas are beyond the ordinary and very free and easy. I admire you very much."
Xing Chuxue also nodded, "That's right. Compared to you, I suddenly feel that I am short-sighted. All I think about is the small piece of land in the backyard."
Their attitude made Jiang Nansheng feel warm.
"Perhaps it's because I was raised as a man that I have such thoughts. Fortunately, I didn't scare you."
Only they would accept my ideas so quickly. If it were anyone else, I would be scolded.
Xiao Baozhu asked about another matter that she was more concerned about.
"When are you planning to leave this time?"
Her tone was filled with resentment.
Xiao Baozhu naturally didn't want Jiang Nansheng to leave, but Jiang Nansheng had already made her mind clear just now. Xiao Baozhu knew that she couldn't keep her, and she didn't want to impose her will on her.
Jiang Nansheng smiled and said, "Not so soon. I'll consider this matter after at least half a year."
She had already submitted a request to Emperor Defeng to establish a female household, and Emperor Defeng agreed and also gave her a house.
Jiang Nansheng brought the women of the Jiang family to the new house.
Before leaving, she had to settle them down. Those who should get married got married, those who should study studied, and women like aunts and sisters-in-law had to learn to support the family.
The Jiang family is a medical family. With her precedent, there is no longer a rule of passing the medicine down to sons but not to daughters.
She wanted the women of the Jiang family to learn medical skills. Even if they couldn't master them, at least they should know enough about them.
She needs at least half a year to arrange these things.
Moreover, Emperor Defeng's health also needed her to continue to recuperate.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Baozhu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
They chatted about many things under the sun, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Finally, Xiao Baozhu sighed, "It would be nice if Han Yi was here too."
When mentioning Ye Hanyi, several people felt a surge of longing in their hearts.
Jiang Nansheng said, "I met her in Southern Xinjiang this time, but at that time there were internal and external troubles and the atmosphere was tense, so we didn't have time to catch up."
Lu Zhiran spoke in a comforting voice, "His Highness said that Han Yi was fine when he left. There is still a long way to go, and we will definitely have the chance to meet again."
At this moment, a palace maid came in to report.
"Crown Princess, news has come from the Ministry of Justice that Zhao Shuning has died."
This news immediately made the atmosphere among everyone tense.
Xiao Baozhu cursed, "Good thing he died! Such a scourge should have died long ago."
Lu Zhiran frowned, "How did she die?"
The emperor ordered a public execution in order to intimidate everyone, but Zhao Shuning died in prison, and there was no guarantee that the emperor would not hold him accountable.
Xiao Yanci had just been named the crown prince and taken over the government. This matter was neither big nor small. If the emperor got angry about it, Xiao Yanci would probably suffer an unprovoked disaster.
The Ministry of Justice sent someone to the Eastern Palace to deliver a message, probably out of this concern.
"He died of poisoning."
"How could she have poison on her?"
"It was the Fourth Princess who went to the prison, met her, and humiliated her. Not long after the Fourth Princess left, she was poisoned and died."
Xiao Baozhu's brows were twisted into knots when she heard this.
"Why is Fourth Princess so confused? She's lynching Zhao Shuning and killing him at this time. Isn't she afraid of being blamed by our father?"
On that day, she asked Emperor Defeng to return Zhao Shuning and deal with him personally, but was rejected.
Now that she has done this in private, isn't this a blatant violation of Emperor Defeng's wishes?
Because of what happened last time, Xiao Baozhu had developed some sympathy for the fourth princess.
I didn't expect her to be so stupid and cause trouble for herself.
Even if she hated Zhao Shuning, it would have been fine if she had tortured her in private, but she shouldn't have given Zhao Shuning poison and asked her to commit suicide.
Just as she was speechless, another maid came to report, "Crown Princess, the Fourth Princess wishes to see you."
Speak of the devil, and he appears. What a coincidence.
"Let her in."
They also want to hear what is going on.
