Reborn to be without his father but with his son, the prince shouted, "I'm not dead!"

Chapter 131: Reporting the Young Lady's Secret Transactions
"Princess Consort, all the guards sent out by Marquis Nan's Mansion have been withdrawn." Qing Wu said with his head down while standing outside the bed curtain.

Ji Anyu stopped Shen Jing from massaging her head.

"Got it, Ji Yunchu is keeping a close eye on that. You go down first."

Shen Jing saw Qing Wu leave and continued his actions.

"Does your head still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Ji Anyu stood up and pressed Shen Jing down, "You lie down with me."

She lay on Shen Jing and stared at him quietly.

Shen Jing felt frightened when Ji Anyu stared at him. He grabbed his belt and tried to stand up, but Ji Anyu held him back with both hands.

"Madam, it's broad daylight, you... you calm down."

Ji Anyu smiled and said, "Look at how cowardly you are. I haven't done anything yet."

She gently traced Shen Jing's eyebrows and eyes, revealing his stubborn determination to refuse to obey.

"Ah Jing, do you still remember the sachet you saw in the palace?"

"remember."

"I think Qingxiang is what Ji Yunchu got from the Imperial Concubine. Ji Yunchu was the Imperial Concubine's pawn to deal with the Crown Prince, but this pawn is disobedient."

Shen Jing said with a bright look in his eyes, "Their chess pieces moving around is a good thing for us."

Ji Anyu put his ear to Shen Jing's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.

"Once Ya Yan can cure Qing Xiang's poison, we will give the sachet to the Second Prince."

"My wife and I are in sync with each other. This is exactly what I meant." Shen Jing rubbed Ji Anyu's hair bun with his chin lovingly.

At this time, in the Duke's Mansion, Ji Yunchu was a little surprised when she heard that Wei Yanyue wanted her sachet.

Wei Yanyue has always looked down on her things, so why would she ask Shuda to make a special trip?
Did Wei Luoyan notice something?
Ji Yunchu secretly looked at Shuda's expression.

"Miss Wei, do you have any taboos? I'm afraid she won't like the sachets I made. After all, my father just passed away, so I'm bound to be tainted with some bad luck."

Although Shuda secretly criticized Ji Yunchu for not being a good person, what he said was right, it was indeed very unlucky!

His son was bullied by bandits just because he had an appointment with Ji Yunchu, but he couldn't tell anyone about it.

The young master was angry and he took it out on him. He felt annoyed when he saw Ji Yunchu.

Shuda swallowed his anger and said, "Miss Ji, my lady and you are close friends, how could she dislike you? My lady said that she likes any sachet you made by yourself."

Ji Yunchu's alarm bells rang. This couldn't possibly be what Wei Yanyue would say. Wei Yanyue had been unhappy with her for a long time.

She smiled warmly.

"Shuda, I just made a sachet."

"That's great!" Shuda was overjoyed. He knew that the young master would immediately calm down when he saw the sachet, and he wouldn't have to suffer the humiliation.

"Yuemei, go get the sachet I left on the dressing table."

"Yes." Yuemei glanced at Shuda uneasily. The sachet was originally worn by the young lady. If Shuda gave it to Miss Wei, would it fall into the hands of another man?

Yuemei hesitated whether to tell the Duke's wife about this. She hurried back to the house to get the sachet, and then ran out again.

"Miss, the sachet is here."

Ji Yunchu took a look at the sachet and after confirming that there was no problem, she handed it to Shuda.

"If Miss Wei doesn't like it, you can tell me and I'll make a new one for her."

"Thank you, Miss Ji." Shuda bowed sincerely to thank Ji Yunchu, then grabbed the sachet and went back to Nanhou Mansion.

Deng Huajie hid in the corner and took in everything.

In the middle of the night, Deng Huajie took advantage of Ji Yunchu's sleep and had Yuemei tied up and covered her mouth and taken to her yard. Ji Xiu also had his own thoughts and advised with a kind look on his face.

"Madam, are you serious about this? Now, Ji Yunchu is the only one in my brother's lineage who is registered under my brother's name. She is nominally my brother's daughter."

Deng Huajie glanced at Ji Xiuyi coldly.

"Why are you pretending? I already know the good things you did for my family! Right now, Qinqin's foundation in the East Palace is unstable, and anyone can step on her. Ji Yunchu is ambitious, and she will definitely take over the huge Duke's Mansion. By then, we will get nothing. If Qinqin is short of money, where can we get it for her?"

Ji Xiu was also feeling guilty and stunned. He hesitated to speak and looked at his former pillowmate. It took him a long time to speak.

"No wonder you're not as nice to me as before, that's why."

Deng Huajie held back her tears and stared at Ji Xiuyi with red eyes.

"If it weren't for the fact that we've been married for so many years and Qinqin had entered the Eastern Palace, I would have endured it. Otherwise, I... I would definitely divorce!"

Ji Xiuyi's heart was shaken, he sat there trembling in silence.

Deng Huajie suppressed all her emotions and asked someone to bring Yuemei into the house.

When Yuemei saw that the person who tied her up was the Second Madam, she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Madam, I have not stolen anything and have not committed any crime. Please let me go."

Deng Huajie smiled sinisterly and slapped Yuemei.

"You bitch! You gave the young lady's sachet to a stranger and you still say you didn't do anything wrong? Humph! If you know what's best for you, tell me everything you know and I'll give you a lighter sentence."

Yuemei was shocked. How did the Second Madam find out?

She kowtowed and begged for mercy in panic, and her forehead soon turned red.

"Madam, I... it was the young lady who asked me to go back to the house to get the sachet for him, but he is a servant of the Nanhou Mansion, helping the young lady to come to the Duke's Mansion to get the sachet. The young lady definitely did not privately give or receive the sachet with a man outside the family."

Deng Huajie sneered at Yuemei and lifted her chin with her fingertips.

"Ji Yunchu was giving it away in private. The servants in the mansion saw the sachet being handed over to the man outside the family. It couldn't be fake. When I meet the Duke's wife later, you will say this. Do you understand?"

Yuemei shook herself and said, "Madam, this will ruin the young lady. I dare not do it."

"What do you mean by destroy? It was Ji Yunchu's fault in the first place. She made a mistake and she deserves to be punished."

Yuemei opened her tearful eyes and said, "Madam, please let the young lady go. She is the future Crown Princess."

Deng Huajie glared at Yuemei fiercely.

"Ji Yunchu has to observe mourning for three years before she can marry the prince. The prince is the heir to the throne, so why should he wait for her for three years? Who does she think she is? My daughter is different. She has already entered the East Palace and is the prince's woman."

Deng Huajie pinched Yuemei's chin and shook it.

"Yuemei, you are a smart girl. You should know who will be your backer in the future. Before you entered the Duke's Mansion as a slave, you lived a life of hunger and cold. After you follow me, you will not be driven out."

The tears hanging in Yuemei's eyes fell like drops of water from a broken string.

Deng Huajie signaled with her eyes to the maid to grab Yuemei and go with her to meet the Duke's wife.

Cao Lingru was a light sleeper to begin with, and woke up immediately when she heard the noisy noise outside the house.

"Yuan Niang, what happened outside?"

"Madam, you are awake." Yuan Niang didn't have the heart to hit Cao Lingru, "You should take a rest. It's just a quarrel between the servants. You don't need to get up to deal with it."

Cao Lingru said helplessly, "I'm not a fool. How dare the servants quarrel in front of my house? Tell me, what happened? I can bear it."

Yuan Niang was unable to persuade Cao Lingru, so she had to tell him everything.

"The Second Madam said that the eldest daughter had an affair with a man from outside the family. She also gave him a sachet. This was reported by the maidservant beside the eldest daughter."
