Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 428 Su Yunjin's Superb Methods
Zhao Ya was sincerely grateful to Su Yunjin. After all, if Su Yunjin didn't agree, it would be really difficult for Chen Jiusi to handle this matter.

Even if Jiu Si insisted on going for his own sake, if the people at home were unwilling to go, the consequences would definitely be bad.

And now Su Yunjin is very reasonable and actually supports Jiu Si in helping him. This is already the extreme of being reasonable.

You have to know that this is asking your man to die, and for another woman. If it were any other woman, how could she be willing to make such a big sacrifice?

But Su Yunjin has the courage to swallow the world.

Although she is a weak woman, her heart is truly incomparable to that of ordinary women.

Su Yunjin smiled after hearing what Zhao Ya said and said, "Princess, you are of noble birth, I shouldn't marry someone above my station, but since you are willing to talk to me, I will marry someone above my station for a while. Since you can give up so much for Jiu Si, then as Jiu Si's wife, I am also touched. If Jiu Si doesn't respond, then he is ungrateful."

"I know he is a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty. He wants this relationship to continue. How can we not help our husband and preserve his friendship?"

Su Yunjin said to Zhao Ya with a smile. After hearing this, Zhao Ya had a smile on her face. She always thought that Su Yunjin was a sensible person, and now it seems that he was right.

She also knew that Chen Jiusi was a married man. If she married Chen Jiusi, she might face more than just the relationship between them. She might even face obstacles from his father and his two wives.

Although Zhao Ya is an extrovert, this makes her even more unwilling to compete with the women in the backyard. It is boring and will consume a lot of energy.

She had seen her father's unrest at home. The concubines had used all kinds of vicious tricks to gain her father's favor, such as asking wizards to cast spells, making straw men to poke around, secretly poisoning, and whispering in her father's ear.

Anyway, Zhao Ya has seen many evil tricks in the harem. Although she is not afraid for Chen Jiusi, she still feels uncomfortable.

But after seeing Su Yunjin's attitude towards her today, Zhao Ya couldn't help but feel relieved. At the same time, she also had a better impression of Su Yunjin. It is actually very easy to tell whether a person is sincere or not.

The princess was not stupid, on the contrary she was extremely intelligent and could naturally feel the sincerity in Su Yunjin's words.

At this time, Zhao Ya took Su Yunjin's hand and said, "Sister Su, I will call you Sister Su from now on."

Su Yunjin smiled and said, "If the princess doesn't mind, being your sister is a blessing for me. Then I will take you back and call you my sister."

Zhao Ya smiled and said, "Okay, okay. It is my blessing to have a sister like Sister Su."

The two girls held hands tightly, smiled at each other, and actually felt a bit of intimacy.

Chen Jie was also happy to see the two of them like this. After all, nothing is as real as a harmonious family. He had always been worried that the arrival of the princess would lead to discord in the inner house, but he didn't expect that the two girls are now getting along like sisters.

This is really a great thing. Of course, Chen Jie also knows that in order to achieve this, the two girls must have suffered a lot of grievances.

The wife needs to endure having one more woman to share the burden with her husband. Although in this era's education, it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines, and the acceptance is definitely much stronger than in later generations, but love is supposed to be selfish. Su Yunjin has to endure sharing her lover, which is actually a fight against her nature.

It's really hard for me.

As for Zhao Ya, she also made great sacrifices. What kind of person is she? She is a descendant of a royal family and a princess of the current dynasty. Apart from the princess, she is probably the only one with the most noble birth.

Moreover, she is the designated queen of the current dynasty. With such an identity, she has to marry Chen Jie and be his concubine.

Yes, neither Su Yunjin nor Chen Jie treated her as little, but in the mouths of others, she was that little one.

Therefore, the pressure she endured was definitely not as light as it appeared on the surface, but no matter what, she endured it.

Now the two girls hold hands together. If it weren't for themselves, why would they put themselves in such a difficult position?

Chen Jie could feel the deep love from the two girls, and he vowed in his heart that he would cherish them. He could let down the whole world, but he could not let down these two girls!
Thinking this way, Su Yunjin said considerately: "I don't understand this matter, and I won't get involved, but I do know one thing."

When she said this, everyone looked at her, not understanding what Su Yunjin understood.

Su Yunjin smiled and said, "I understand. When people are hungry, they need to eat. My sister and my brother-in-law have come all the way here. How can they come to visit me hungry? Please move to the side hall. The food is ready."

Ok?
After hearing Su Yunjin addressing him as brother-in-law, Wang Baobao was stunned. This title was really unfamiliar to him.

However, Wang Baobao was still very satisfied with Su Yunjin's words and his character. He smiled at Su Yunjin and said, "Thank you."

Soon after, Chen Jie also brought Zhao Ya to the side hall, where six dishes and a soup had been prepared, a combination of meat and vegetables, which was quite sumptuous.

Chen Jie accompanied him, and Su Yunjin said, "The hospitality in our house is simple and poor, so please don't laugh at me, brother-in-law."

Su Yunjin did not bring the princess with him. The reason was very simple. It meant that the things here also belonged to the princess, so family members should not laugh at their own family members.

She didn't treat the princess as a guest at all, but as a family member.

Wang Baobao had been starving for a long time, so he laughed and said, "Haha, the food is already very good. I'm sorry for bothering you in such a hurry."

Su Yunjin smiled and said, "I'm glad that you don't mind my humble words, brother-in-law. You guys have something important to discuss, and I don't understand, so I won't bother you guys anymore. I'll leave first."

"Sister, don't leave."

Seeing Su Yunjin was about to leave, Zhao Ya grabbed Su Yunjin. Su Yunjin looked at her, slightly surprised.

Zhao Ya said: "Sister, please accompany me."

Su Yunjin hesitated for a moment and smiled, "My sister is willing to let me accompany her because she thinks highly of me. I am more than happy to have you do this. I hope it won't interfere with your discussion of important matters?"

Chen Jie heard this and said, "Madam, please sit down. It won't delay us."

Wang Baobao rarely spoke up, "It would be embarrassing for just a few of us to eat all this delicious food. Madam, please stay."

Seeing this, Su Yunjin said, "Sorry to bother you."

As she spoke, she sat down and sat quietly without saying a word. She was very quiet.

Seeing him like this, Wang Baobao said, "Chen Jiusi, when are you leaving for Dadu? I will accompany you."

Hearing this, Zhao Ya also said, "I'll follow too."

Chen Jiefang put down his chopsticks and said, "This matter is not urgent. There is no point in being anxious. First of all, we don't know what the situation is in Dadu now. If we don't know anything and enter Dadu blindly, we will really die."

"So we must first find out what the current situation in Dadu is. Who is in charge of reducing the power of the vassal states and arresting Prince Ruyang? What is the attitude of the court and who is against it? Also, how is the prince now? Is he under house arrest or arrested? Where is he being held? Only then can we discuss a good rescue plan and determine the specific goals of our trip to Dadu this time."

After hearing this, Wang Baobao was stunned and said, "This information was easy to get before, but now the entire Jiangnan force is accepted by the court, and even the intelligence system is all accepted by the court. It may not be easy to detect the intelligence of Dadu."

After hearing what Wang Baobao said, Zhao Ya said, "Brother, Jiu Si is right. Only when we know ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle. We are completely in the dark about the intelligence in Dadu right now. This won't do. If we dive in headfirst, won't we be like a headless fly?"

"So no matter how difficult it is, we should find a way to find out the situation in Dadu."

Wang Baobao frowned upon hearing this and said, "Then should I send someone to Dadu now?"

Chen Jie raised his hand and said, "It's too late to send people to Dadu now. If we wait until they have all the information, it may be two or three months later. Then we can rescue them. Even if we rescue them, the court in Jiangnan will probably have almost absorbed all the information. You will be like a lost dog."

After hearing this, Wang Baobao asked, "What should we do then?"

Zhao Ya also frowned and looked at Chen Jie: "Is there any solution?"

Chen Jie said: "The solution is simple. Although we don't have the full picture of this matter, we have almost got it. The essence of this matter is to reduce the power of the vassal states, and the ultimate goal of the court is also to reduce the power of the vassal states!"

Wang Baobao said: "Yes, it is to reduce the power of the feudal lords, but what does this have to do with intelligence?"

Chen Jie said: "Since it is about reducing the power of the vassal states, it is not a matter of individual households. Is our Ruyang Palace the only vassal state in the world?"

After hearing this, Wang Baobao's eyes widened and he looked at Chen Jie and said, "You mean the other kings?"

Chen Jie said, "That's right. Daqian was founded eight years ago. It has enfeoffed various kings and divided various places. It has the function of protecting Daqian, but it is also inevitable that each of them will act independently. Daqian is afraid of the local kings, and the local kings are also afraid of Daqian. Therefore, there must be an intelligence department that grasps the court's movements at this time. Don't you think so? Don't say that your Ruyang Palace has not established a similar intelligence department in Dadu."

After hearing this, Wang Baobao said, "Of course there are, and there are special people in charge. A lot of money is spent on intelligence every year. Of course, I know that other princes are more willing to spend money than us. After all, we are princes in Ruyang Palace and have more trust in the court."

Chen Jie said: "So, although our Ruyang Palace's intelligence system is not usable, the intelligence systems of other princes may not be unusable, so my suggestion is to borrow the intelligence systems of other princes."

Wang Baobao said: "This is a good idea."

Zhao Ya said, "Well, they must understand the principle of the lips and teeth being cold. This time, my father was captured by them, and they must be very shocked. They are also afraid that this matter will fall on them. At this time, we are just borrowing their intelligence system. There is no reason for them to refuse."

Wang Baobao laughed and said, "That's right. The King of Luo, the King of Zhejiang, and the King of Xiang are all cowards. They are probably scared to the point of asking people about the reason for this matter. It's impossible for them to still have the courage to disagree."

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "This is a very good breakthrough point."

"Well, that was an oversight."

Wang Baobao nodded and admitted that he had neglected this point. Chen Jie then said, "There is another point that everyone must not forget. The one who is most anxious about this matter is actually the King of Qi."

Zhao Ya and Wang Baobao were stunned and looked at Chen Jie.

Chen Jie said: "Haha, the court wants to reduce the power of the vassal states, and the two biggest obstacles are the King of Qi and the King of Ruyang. Now the King of Ruyang has been detained by the court, so how can the King of Qi remain unscathed?"

Zhao Ya said: "But the Qi Palace has always been at odds with us, so we can't count on him too much this time."

Chen Jie said: "Haha, yes, we don't count on him, but he will always give us some different hope. You have to believe this first."

"Of course, this is all for the future. The most important thing we need to do now is to get detailed information about Dadu from the princes, to know the specific situation of the princes now, and whether the idea of ​​reducing the power of the princes is just Tuotuo's, or whether there are others who support it."

"In addition, is there anyone who opposes the reduction of the feudal lords? At the same time, we must also win over the feudal lords. If the prince is rescued in the future and the court sends troops to attack, we will have the strength to compete with them."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Ya and Wang Baobao nodded. Zhao Ya said, "Jiu Si, you decide what to do. We will listen to you."

Chen Jie said: "We will split into two groups. Yaya and I will stay in Huangzhou Prefecture for a few days. We are in a hurry, so I have some things to tell others to do, and I also need to make some arrangements."

"General Kuokuo will have to work harder. During this time, he should go to other palaces to say hello and use their intelligence network to gather the information we want to know and get the most accurate information!"

Chen Jie said to Wang Baobao.

Wang Baobao nodded slightly and said, "I understand."

After saying this, Chen Jie looked at Wang Baobao and said, "Then let's do everything according to our plan. Whether we can rescue the prince depends on us."

Wang Baobao nodded slightly, then picked up the roast chicken on the table and started eating it. The whole roast chicken went into his stomach in a few bites, and then he gulped down a glass of strong liquor.

He stood up and said, "There is no time to lose. I will leave first. Yaya, you stay here first. We will meet in Cangzhou Prefecture and go to Dadu together."

After hearing this, Zhao Ya stood up and said, "Brother..."

Wang Baobao said, "You should be safe here at Chen Jiusi's place. I will take away all the other people who came this time. I will leave Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San with you."

Zhao Ya said: "Yes, I will listen to you, Third Brother."

Wang Baobao then clasped his fists towards Su Yunjin, and finally looked at Chen Jiusi and said, "Chen Jiusi, Yaya is now in your care. You must protect her well."

Chen Jie heard this and said, "General Kuokuo, don't worry. With me here, Yaya will be fine."

Wang Baobao said: "That's good. In that case, let's meet in Cangzhou Prefecture."

After saying this, Wang Baobao didn't even bother to stay overnight and went straight out of the mansion. He still didn't want to stay with Chen Jiusi any longer. He didn't know why, after staying with Chen Jie for a long time, he always felt like a dependent.

Watching Wang Baobao walk away, Chen Jie turned around and looked at Zhao Ya and said, "It seems that your third brother still doesn't like me very much."

Zhao Ya didn't know how to respond after hearing this. She wanted to explain but didn't know where to start.

At this time, Su Yunjin said, "My husband, please stop teasing me. If someone sends such a good sister to you, I will be very angry if they send her to me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin and said, "Madam, who are you speaking for?"

Su Yunjin said, "My dear husband, what do you think? I will naturally speak for sister Yaya. Otherwise, my good sister would be taken advantage of by you. Let's go, sister Yaya, sleep with me today, so that we can talk to each other."

Chen Jie heard this and said, "That Yaya has come from afar, why don't I sleep with her, and that will also be the proper way to be a good host."

Zhao Ya blushed when she heard this, and Su Yunjin glared at Chen Jie. In this era, a girl's reputation was still very important, so how could she sleep with her fiancé before getting married?

If this gets out, people will laugh at you.

That's why Su Yunjin glared at Chen Jie. Chen Jie was just joking. He naturally knew the importance of a girl's reputation.

At this time, Su Yunjin said, "Husband, please stop joking."

Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya who suddenly became shy and said, "Haha, I was just kidding, just kidding."

Su Yunjin said, "A girl's reputation is not something you can joke about. Sister Yaya, don't listen to her. Hongmei, prepare a new quilt."

"It's ma'am."

Yin Hongmei responded, and then Su Yunjin said to Zhao Ya, "Sister Yaya, please go with Hongmei. I want to talk to my husband."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie, then obediently followed Yin Hongmei and left.

Chen Jie was not in a hurry to eat the princess. After all, she was already a cooked duck and could not fly away. What's more, Su Yunjin was right. It would be meaningless if the princess was not virgin before the wedding night.

Marry a beautiful and virtuous woman.

The sedan chair carried by eight people is the one that carries a perfect body.

The trend of this era is a seller's market, with sky-high prices...

Zhao Ya and Yin Hongmei left. At this time, Su Yunjin came to Chen Jie and said, "Husband, you played that joke too much."

Chen Jie said: "We are all family, I..."

Su Yunjin said: "If it's just you and Sister Yaya, it won't be too much. Sister Yaya will be embarrassed if I'm here."

Chen Jie listened and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that."

Su Yunjin said, "Okay, husband, I'm not blaming you. We won't accompany you tonight. You can go to sleep in Sister Huang's room."

"Uh, you're not going to keep me?"

Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin, and Su Yunjin said, "You have been staying in my room every night for the past two days since you came back. This is not appropriate. As the head of a family, you must treat everyone equally and not favor one person. Do you understand, husband?"

Chen Jie said: "Madam, you just think too much every day."

Su Yunjin said: "Husband, you think too little. Of course, you are the master of the family, so you don't have to worry about the things in the backyard. Anyway, there will be no trouble with me here, so don't worry."

Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin and said, "Don't be too wronged!"

Su Yunjin said: "I don't feel wronged. I was chosen by my mother-in-law to come to the Chen family to take care of you, so I naturally have to pay more attention to you. Besides, I am happy to do something for my husband. As long as my husband is happy, I will not feel wronged."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie hugged Su Yunjin. Su Yunjin could feel Chen Jie's deep affection. In fact, what she cared about was this deep affection rather than the physical pleasure of a lifetime. As long as my husband has me in his heart, I will be satisfied.

Su Yunjin pushed Chen Jie and said, "The princess is waiting anxiously, you can go to Sister Huang by yourself."

Chen Jie said: "Hold me for a while longer."

Su Yunjin said: "Just a moment..."

Chen Jie and Su Yunjin were reluctant to part for a long time. Su Yunjin tidied up her messy clothes, looked at Chen Jie reproachfully, then rushed out with her face still a little flushed.

Chen Jie looked at the time. It should be one or two o'clock in the morning. If he went to Huang Wan'er at this time, would he disturb her sleep?
Chen Jie thought about it and slowly sat back in his chair.

After waiting for a while, I saw a group of people walking in from outside, led by Huang Wan'er. At this time, she was only wearing thin underwear with a coat on the outside.

Seeing Chen Jie sitting there, she couldn't help but joked, "My husband and his three wives, I didn't expect you to be drinking alone here in the middle of the night. Is it because we three can't satisfy my husband?"

Hearing Huang Wan'er's teasing voice, Chen Jie looked up and saw that under the light of the lantern, Huang Wan'er's figure became more graceful and looked more charming.

Huang Wan'er looked at Chen Jie with charming eyes and said, "My dear husband, please go back with me. I will help you to relieve your fatigue."

Chen Jie's heart was moved, he looked at her and asked, "Why are you here?"

Huang Wan'er said, "How could I sleep with such a big commotion in the middle of the night? So I woke up to take a look, and then I met Yun Jin on the way. She said that someone should be drinking here, so she asked me to help him relieve his sleepiness. Haha, don't you see that I caught her red-handed?"

Chen Jie heard this and said, "Okay, so you are all laughing at me, you are really bad!"

Huang Wan'er said, "It's unfair. I'm not making fun of my husband. It's just that my husband has not come to my room, and I can't compete with the eldest lady for a man. I can only stay alone in the empty room. Today I finally have a chance, I don't know if I can get the favor of my husband!"

Having said that, Huang Wan'er sat directly on Chen Jie's lap.

Chen Jie looked at Huang Wan'er, who was emitting a charming aura, and said, "You are really a little goblin."

"You're in luck tonight!"

……

Here, everyone was in harmony. On the other side, Su Yunjin came to her room and saw Zhao Ya, who looked a little restrained, and said, "Sister Yaya."

"elder sister."

Su Yunjin said: "Well, I am quite satisfied with this room."

Zhao Ya looked at the house and saw ambergris burning inside. There was also a refrigerator not far away (for storing ice cubes to keep out the heat). She felt that the house was very comfortable.

"Sister, you must be tired after the long journey. I'll ask the maid to fetch some water for you to wash your feet, and then you can go to sleep."

Zhao Ya said: "Thank you, sister."

Su Yunjin said, "You don't have to be polite when you are family. I won't stay here any longer. You should have a good rest."

Zhao Ya was stunned and asked, "Sister, this is your boudoir, where are you going?"

Su Yunjin said, "Sister, you are a precious girl, how can you sleep with me? I don't know how the rooms in the palace are, but my room is comfortable. You can sleep first, and we can talk about other things later."

After saying this, Su Yunjin didn't give Zhao Ya a chance to refute and went out directly.

Yin Hongmei looked at Su Yunjin and said, "Madam, why did you give your room to her?"

Su Yunjin said, "Although the guest room is cleaned from time to time, it is not crowded after all. The princess was not at ease living there. My room is very comfortable, so I will give it to her first. When she recovers tomorrow, it won't be too late to let her stay in the guest room."
