Towards the Zhao Family Village
After breakfast, Madame Wei came over. Seeing that Ji Yunshu's complexion was much better, she felt relieved.
They chatted for a while.
Madame Wei said, "Yunshu, your Uncle Wei and I have to go out for a while. We might not be back for a few days. You can stay here for the next few days and wait for your injuries to heal. Also, you must wait for your Uncle Wei and I to come back, okay?"
"Yes, Yunshu will listen to Aunt Wei."
"In the future, you don't need to be so polite. After all, you will be my daughter-in-law sooner or later, although …" Madame Wei looked at Wei Yi and sighed. "Although our Yi 'er is not an ordinary person, he is kind-hearted and will definitely treat you well."
There was no doubt about this.
Ji Yunshu smiled without saying anything.
"Yunshu, can you promise me one thing?" Madame Wei continued.
"Please say it, Aunt Wei. As long as I can do it, I will do my best."
She paused for a moment before continuing, "In this life, the person I am most worried about is Yi 'er. I hope that you can take care of him for us. In the future, when we retire, I also hope that there will be someone to accompany him and take care of him."
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Wei Yi tugged at his mother's clothes. "Mother, you won't leave Yi 'er. Yi' er also doesn't want mother to leave."
"Silly child, everyone will experience birth, old age, sickness, and death. The one who can accompany you for a lifetime isn't your father or mother, but your wife. However, you must also remember that you are a man, so you must take good care of Yunshu, understand?"
"Mother, rest assured. Yi 'er will take good care of Shu' er. I won't let anyone bully her."
Ji Yunshu's eyes slightly reddened.
She reached out and held Madame Wei's hands. "Aunt Wei, I promise you that I will take good care of Wei Yi. No matter what happens in the future, I will take good care of him, even if …"
Ji Yunshu didn't finish the last few words.
She only said, "In short, I promise you."
"With these words, I am relieved."
Madame Wei smiled with tears in her eyes. The more she looked at Ji Yunshu, the more she liked her.
Because she had to go out to handle some matters, Madame Wei didn't stay for long.
Wei Yi also left with them. He said that after sending his parents off, he would come back to see Ji Yunshu.
Since Lord Wei and Madame Wei were not around, if there was any progress in the yin yang corpse case, she could sneak out.
Not long after, Luan 'er came from the yamen and told her everything she knew.
"Miss, Lord Liu said that Madame Jiang did go to the yamen yesterday and even made a big fuss, clamoring for Lord Liu to release her, but he stopped her."
Aiyo, not bad, clench your teeth and hold on!
"And then?"
"Lord Liu also said that Lord Jiang and Madame Jiang didn't have any children. However, there was a child in the mansion. She was the daughter of a woman named Yu Sao. She was only six years old. After Madame Jiang moved to the capital, Yu Sao and her daughter didn't go with her. They are now living in the Zhao Family Village." Luan 'er was very articulate.
"What else did Lord Liu say?"
"That's all. This servant has told you everything without missing a single word."
The more Ji Yunshu thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. Why would Master Jiang have an undergarment on him?
Could it be that the undergarment belonged to Yu Sao's daughter?
Ji Yunshu's heart suddenly thumped. She had a bad premonition!
She had a small guess, but she didn't dare to make a conclusion.
Then, Ji Yunshu called for a maidservant of the Wei mansion and ordered, "Miss, can you bring me a set of clean men's clothes? I want something small. "
The maidservant blinked her eyes in confusion, but she still obediently brought her a set of clean clothes.
Ji Yunshu changed her clothes and tied her long hair into a high bun.
Luan 'er pulled her. "Miss, are you going to the yamen now?"
"No, I'm going to the Zhao Family Village."
"Miss, it's raining heavily outside! If you want to investigate something, it would be better to let Lord Liu do it. You are not in good health right now, and I'm worried … "
"This matter is very important. If the yamen's people investigate, they will certainly be alarmed. I'm afraid that it will be very difficult to find out what I want to know. So, I have to personally go and solve … a doubt in my heart."
Ji Yunshu's words were very profound to Luan 'er. Even if she racked her brain, she wouldn't be able to understand it.
While she was speaking, Ji Yunshu had already finished dressing.
"Luan 'er, Lord Wei and Madame Wei have already left the mansion. Young Master Wei will come over later. Tell him that I'm going out to take care of something. Tell him not to look for me. You should stay here and wait for me. Do you understand?"
"Miss, I'll go with you."
"No, I don't know when I'll be back. This is the Wei mansion after all. Who knows, Father might send someone to pick me up. If something happens, you can stay here and help me."
'She's really considerate!'
Although Luan 'er was worried, she had no choice but to agree.
Ji Yunshu avoided the Wei family's servants and secretly left the mansion, heading towards the Zhao Family Village.
However, the road to the Zhao Family Village was not a mountain road, but a waterway.
The rain was getting heavier, and Ji Yunshu's pace was getting slower and slower.
When she arrived at the pier, a boat had just docked.
The boatman was wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat. He was struggling to tie a rope to a stone block in the storm.
Ji Yunshu walked over with an umbrella and asked, "Boatman, do you want to go to the Zhao Family Village?"
The boatman raised his head. Probably because of the heavy rain, he opened his ears. "What did you say?"
"Do you want to go to the Zhao Family Village?"
This time, the boatman heard her clearly and waved his hand. "It's raining heavily. I'm not going."
"Please help me, boatman. I'm in a hurry to attend my father's funeral!"
'That's a good reason!'
The boatman tied the rope and pondered for a moment. He then looked at the river and saw that it was raining heavily.
"Young Master, please don't make things difficult for me. It's raining so heavily that there are waves on the river. If the boat capsizes, someone will die."
"But …"
Before Ji Yunshu could finish her words, a pair of hands holding an ingot of silver suddenly extended towards the boatman.
"Is that enough?" The voice was deep and powerful, carrying a certain deterrent force.
Ji Yunshu glanced sideways. She didn't know when Jing Rong had appeared here.
He really came and went like a ghost!
"You?" Ji Yunshu was surprised.
Jing Rong ignored her and looked at the boatman. "If this isn't enough, I'll give you another ingot after you send us to the Zhao Family Village."
'We?
So you want to go with us?
You're really everywhere! '
When the boatman saw the ingot of silver, his eyes lit up. His hands trembled as he held it. He grinned and nodded frantically. "Good, good, good. We'll go. We'll go now."
'A typical person who values money more than his life!'
After putting away the ingot of silver, the boatman untied the rope from the stone block.
Before Ji Yunshu could regain her senses, Jing Rong had already pulled her hand into the swaying boat.
She closed the umbrella and sat down.
"Are you surprised?" Jing Rong smirked.
"How did you …"
"You want to ask, how did this Prince know you were here? How did I know you were going to the Zhao Family Village? "
