Ji Yan died at dawn on the day when Ji Zixuan took the Imperial Examination.

In Jiang Hao's words, justice is clear and retribution will come. Even though the Ji family suffered injustice and countless people died and were injured, Ji Yan's hands were not necessarily clean.

No matter what the reason was, he did a lot of shady things in secret, and God let him die before dawn.

He would not be able to see the Ji family's children re-enter the examination hall, nor would he be able to see the deposed prince clearing his name and walking out of the deposed prince's mansion with dignity. He would also not be able to see the prince's mansion and his maternal grandfather's family being completely liquidated.

Ji Yan left with regret.

After Ji Yan's death, Jiang Hao took charge of everything in the mansion, and Uncle Ming always put her first and listened to and respected her.

Without Ji Yan, the second and third rooms had no one to rely on and could only keep their heads down even more.

After the Ji Mansion announced the death, many officials came to pay their respects. As there were so many trivial matters to attend to in the mansion, Jiang Hao hardly ever showed up at the mourning hall.

Ji Yaozong and Ji Hui, who had disappeared for a long time, were brought back. The three of them were as thin as sticks. Ji Hui was still lying down, with Guo and her son kneeling in the mourning hall.

Uncle Ming had already told the three of them that it would be best to send the old man off in a dignified manner. If something went wrong at the funeral hall, it would bring shame to the Ji family and the county lady, and no one would be able to save them.

After enduring for a day, Ji Ziyu finally punched Ji Yaozong in the nose at three o'clock in the morning.

Although he was a weak scholar, the nose was a vulnerable part of his body, and Ji Yaozong was not prepared at all. The impact of the punch was enough to knock him off his feet. He screamed in pain, covered his nose with both hands, staggered to his feet, and looked at Ji Ziyu angrily.

People who were walking out of the mourning hall gradually came to their senses from their drowsiness. When Mrs. Liu saw her husband being beaten, she hurriedly ran forward to support him, turned around and shouted at Ji Ziyou, "What are you crazy about? You uneducated bastard!"

Ji Yaozong also calmed down, broke free from Liu's hand and rushed towards Ji Ziyou, raising his hand and cursing, "Asshole!"

However, the slap he raised did not fall on Ji Ziyou. Hearing the noise, Guo actually stood in front of Ji Ziyou, raised her head, and stared at Ji Yaozong with eyes full of hatred, meaning that if you dare to hit me, just try.

Ji Yaozong actually felt inexplicably guilty when she stared at him.

Seeing that Guo had straightened her back and was ready to fight instead of disciplining her son, Liu was furious: "The old master just died, and you, the third wife, are planning to rebel? No matter what time it is, a concubine's daughter is a concubine's daughter!"

Relying on the old man's preference for legitimate children over illegitimate children, Liu has been humiliating Guo over the years, and she always mentions "illegitimate children".

Guo had been troubled by being born out of wedlock for her entire life. Now that Liu had started to babble endlessly, she looked at Liu and said sarcastically, "Ziyou, he is a legitimate child."

As soon as these words came out, Ji Yaozong on the side was visibly stunned. The memory of the death grew wildly at this moment and instantly filled his entire mind.

But he didn't dare to believe it!

Everyone present, except Uncle Ming and Ji Ziyou who knew about it a long time ago, looked at Guo in shock. All their fatigue and sleepiness disappeared at this moment.

What does the Third Lady mean by this?

Ji Ziyou stood behind Guo with a complicated expression. He was unwilling to accept his illegitimate status, but he also didn't want to ruin his reputation by recognizing his biological father.

mother……

The word "mother" was stuck in my throat and I couldn't shout it out no matter how hard I tried.

Liu laughed: "You are talking nonsense late at night!"

Mrs. Guo was determined as if she had eaten a weight: "My son was conceived after your husband took my body by force..."
