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

Chapter 141: Confused and Distracted
"Miss Yuemei, why are you looking at me?"

Deng Qiqi was attracted by the girl's rosy face and innocent look.

He couldn't help but grab Yuemei's hand, "Miss Yuemei, you are much prettier than that shrew Wei Yanyue, and you are more gentle and considerate than her."

Yuemei's cheeks flushed as she looked down at the tip of her shoes.

"My dear cousin, you are embarrassing me. I am no match for the daughter of the Marquis Nan."

Deng Qiqi disagreed and shook his head, "Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, I come from a merchant family, my status is not high, Miss Yuemei, don't belittle yourself, in my heart you are much better than Wei Yanyue!"

He didn't know why he liked Yuemei so much today, and he wanted to be with her...

"Miss Yuemei, are you willing to be with me? It's better for you to follow me than to be a slave to Ji Yunchu."

Yuemei's heart moved. The eldest lady always insulted her when she was angry, and sometimes even beat her. She didn't want to follow Ji Yunchu for the rest of her life, but her indenture was in the Duke's Mansion.

She pulled her hand back and rubbed her fingertips back and forth on the place that Deng Qiqi had just touched. It seemed that the place was stained with the residual warmth of Deng Qiqi's palm.

"Cousin, I sold myself into slavery and cannot be my own master."

When Deng Qiqi saw Yuemei's tears, he felt even more pity for her. He impulsively stepped forward and pulled Yuemei into his arms, and his breathing became much heavier.

"Yuemei, at worst I can ask Ji Yunchu to give you to me. Ji Yunchu will definitely agree. Then I will get your indenture and go to the government to cancel your slave status. From now on you will be free and no one will force you to be a slave anymore."

Yuemei was so moved that she burst into tears. "Cousin, what you said is something I dare not even think about on a normal day. I dream of regaining my freedom."

Deng Qiqi murmured in a low and hoarse voice, "Yuemei, let me love you well." He lowered his head and kissed her.

Yuemei seemed to be deeply in love and could not resist Deng Qiqi. She half-heartedly rolled onto the bed with Deng Qiqi.

The servants in the other courtyard were curious about the creaking sounds coming from the house, so they all pricked up their ears and put them against the door to eavesdrop.

"Oh my, in broad daylight, Yuemei is so shameless! I usually thought she was a noble girl, but I didn't expect she was so unrestrained."

"Yuemei actually dared to seduce my cousin and do such a shameful thing. I'm going to tell the young lady and have her execute Yuemei! She's a traitor!"

Ji Yunchu was embroidering her wedding dress in the Duke's Mansion when she heard the servants from the other courtyard report that Yuemei and Deng Qiqi were having an affair. She was shocked, then she sneered and put down the needlework in her hands.

"That stupid girl was so timid in front of me, but I didn't expect her to be so bold in front of Deng Qiqi. Humph! Does she really think marrying Deng Qiqi is a good ending? She is so ignorant and fearless."

When Deng Qiqi died of the poison, Yuemei would have to remain a widow.

Ji Yunchu stood up and adjusted her hair in front of the bronze mirror, and asked someone to prepare a carriage to go to the villa.

When she arrived at the villa, there were many servants standing outside Deng Qiqi's house.

"It's been so long, and it's not over yet."

"The sound is getting louder and louder. It's so embarrassing! I don't know what tricks Yuemei used to make her cousin so obsessed with her."

Ji Yunchu glanced at them coldly, "Are you all done with your work?"

The servants shuddered with fear and knelt down to admit their mistakes.

Ji Yunchu pointed at the maids and said, "Bring some water in and splash it on them to wake them up!"

The old woman had long been fed up with Yuemei's slutty tactics, and quickly fetched water from the well.

They winked at each other and kicked the door open with a sneer on their faces.

There was a sickening smell in the room.

Yuemei and Deng Qiqi forgot about the world and entangled themselves with each other. When they were in high spirits, they were suddenly splashed with water and were soaked all over.

"Ah!" Yuemei woke up in shock, quickly grabbed the quilt to cover her body, and hid behind Deng Qiqi.

Deng Qiqi was unsatisfied and grabbed a corner of the quilt to cover his shameful place. "What are you doing?" Deng Qiqi looked angrily at the basins in the hands of the maids.

"How dare a few lowly women ruin my good deeds! Do you want to be sold out by me?"

The old women looked at each other and sneered together.

"Cousin, look carefully whose territory this is. You slept with the girl next to our eldest lady, and she is standing outside and looking angry!"

Deng Qiqi's reasoning got the better of him. He glanced at the bruises on Yuemei's body and his brows raised slightly.

How could he be so obsessed with Yuemei?

Deng Qiqi covered his head and saw the wine on the table out of the corner of his eye. It seemed that he became like that because of drinking. It must be the wine that ruined him.

When Yuemei saw Deng Qiqi's cold expression towards her, she felt a chill in her heart and started to shed tears.

"Cousin, have you forgotten what you just said?" Yuemei secretly hated herself for believing Deng Qiqi's lies and being deceived by Deng Qiqi.

Deng Qiqi had just been intimate with Yuemei and had some feelings for her. He was very sad when he saw Yuemei crying.

This girl is pretty and in good shape, so why not take her as a concubine?

Deng Qiqi reached out and gently wiped the tears from Yuemei's face.

"I'm a man of my words. I'll ask your eldest daughter to give you to me right now."

Yuemei's heart settled down, she bit her lower lip and nodded charmingly.

Seeing this, Deng Qiqi felt more and more that keeping Yuemei was the right choice, as he just needed someone to accompany him.

He raised his eyes and glared at the old woman, "You two go out first. I'll put on my clothes and then go out to see the young lady."

The old women looked Deng Qiqi up and down with disdain, which made Deng Qiqi feel uncomfortable all over.

After the maids left, Deng Qiqi stood up and quickly put on his clothes. He turned his head to see Yuemei huddled in the corner like a frightened bird.

Deng Qiqi walked over and kissed Yuemei hard.

"Don't be afraid, I will get you here." Deng Qiqi smiled confidently.

She is just a little girl, Ji Yunchu would definitely be willing to give her to him as a favor.

Ji Yunchu sat outside the house, surrounded by three maids serving her.

When she saw Deng Qiqi coming out in neatly dressed, she couldn't help but laugh sarcastically.

"My dear cousin, I was kind enough to let you stay here and live in the other courtyard. I thought I had done nothing wrong to you, but you bullied my personal maid behind my back."

Deng Qiqi immediately bowed and apologized, "I was wrong about this matter. I am willing to take Yuemei as my concubine."

The maidservant watching the show was secretly jealous and clenched her teeth. As a slave, being a concubine was already a good thing, but such a thing was given to Yuemei.

Ji Yunchu angrily scolded, "My cousin, Yuemei is a maid of our Duke's Mansion. You just apologized and that's it? Since you have entered the territory of our Duke's Mansion, you must follow the rules of the Duke's Mansion."

Deng Qiqi's face suddenly turned ugly. He did not expect Ji Yunchu to care so much about Yuemei.

She was just a maid. Ji Yunchu had so many maids around her, yet she didn't even give him face in front of outsiders.

Deng Qiqi frowned and thought about whether to give up Yuemei.

Yuemei suddenly rushed out and knelt in front of Deng Qiqi.

"My lady, I was ignorant of the world and seduced you, my cousin. If you want to punish me, then punish me!"
