After rebirth, I was entangled by the Regent

After Su Yuanheng left, Ji Beitian sat in the main seat in the main hall: "Yu'er, you go down first."

"Father..." Ji Sangyu was unwilling to accept it. Even if Ji Sangci was the real eldest daughter of the Ji family, so what? She had lived in the mountains for so many years and had long been out of tune with the aristocratic families in Beijing. Even if she was a doctor now, so what? Showing up in public, especially in a place like the north of the city, was really shameless.

"Ji Sangyu." Ji Beitian is not Su Lan, and he has always been strict with her.

"Yu'er will take her leave first." When Ji Sangyu turned around, her face was full of resentment. With Su Lan around, what was she afraid of?

"Father." Ji Ziyan stood aside: "I didn't handle this matter well." Ji Ziyan has always been respectful to his father, but not very close to him, mainly because his father is rarely in the house.

"What a waste." Ji Beitian has never been in a good mood towards Ji Ziyan.

"My husband, this matter was caused by that girl. If she hadn't been so arrogant, the situation wouldn't be like this now. Isn't it a bit too much for you to say that about Yan'er?" Su Lan's eyes were fierce, as if she absolutely couldn't let anyone insult Ji Ziyan.

"What a good son you taught me." Ji Beitian curled the corners of his lips, his face full of disgust.

"Ji Beitian, when my father was alive, you were very respectful. Why, now that he is gone, you show your true colors? You should know that the Su family is not a poor family. My father is the emperor's tutor."

Ji Beitian's eyes became even colder: "Teacher of the Emperor? So you think that the daughter you raised is worthy of the Crown Prince. Who is the Crown Prince?"

"Yu'er is not worthy of me. Who else is there in this world? Those questionable women out there?" Su Lan was not to be outdone: "Ji Sangyu was trained by me. She is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Only she is worthy of Yingxue's son."

"How dare you call the Queen by her name?"

"Haha, Ji Beitian, Yingxue and I grew up together. Yingxue treats Yu'er as her own daughter. We call each other by our maiden names. What does it have to do with you?"

Su Lan's expression seemed like a provocation and a gesture of victory: "You still have to be careful. After all, she is the queen who is high above us."

Ji Beitian stopped talking and looked at Ji Ziyan: "Tomorrow, come with me to pick up Xiao Ci."

"Yes, father, but..." Ji Ziyan looked at Su Lan.

"Whether you accept or not is up to your Ji family, but let me say this in advance. When Ji Sangci comes back, she will be the eldest daughter of the Ji family. She is engaged, not to the crown prince, but to the regent."

Ji Beitian looked at Su Lan: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a rare talent and will rule the country in the future. What's wrong with Xiao Ci marrying him? As for who will be the legitimate daughter of the Ji family, I have the final say."

"Ji Beitian, now everyone in the capital knows that Ji Sangci is your biological daughter. Do you think you still have a way out?"

Ji Beitian was shocked: "Is this why you let the rumors spread, and want to force everyone in the world to acknowledge the engagement between Ji Sangci and the Regent?"

"She chose this herself when she was a child. I didn't force her."

"You..." Ji Beitian was speechless. When Su Lan brought Ji Sangci into the palace, she fell in love with Xiao Yi at first sight. It was indeed her own choice, but these years have passed and everything is different.

"Zi Yan, prepare everything tomorrow and pick up Xiao Ci." Ji Beitian went straight to the study room. He didn't want to see Su Lan at all. Su Lan's nails were digging into the palm of his hand. Ji Beitian...
