In my previous life, I killed my whole family. In my next life, I killed the royal family.

The Third Prince walked out of the palace slowly, wiping the sweat from his forehead as he walked, muttering, "Everything has been going badly for me lately. It feels like I've seen a ghost."

The Third Prince had previously recruited Lan Ting to use her to complete his plan. However, Lan Ting was suddenly beaten to death for stealing jewelry. Seeing that the plan was halfway to success, he lost this important helper.

Then, the incident with the vixen happened again, and even all the wealth in his secret room was lost, and he didn't dare to find out who did it. Now, he has become poorer than the guards around him.

To make matters worse, the Lan family, who could have provided help and wealth, also met with misfortune.

The Third Prince secretly speculated in his heart: "Could it be that the Crown Prince has arranged spies around me?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but snorted coldly and said through gritted teeth: "Wang Yien, just wait for me! I will definitely make you pay double."

The only way for the Third Prince to defeat the Crown Prince is to marry Miss Qi as his princess.

He was trying hard to think about how he could successfully marry into the Qi family.

Under the instigation of his lawyer Ren, he had been determined to marry the eldest daughter of the Qi family as his princess since two years ago.

Master Ren said to him:

Your Highness, you see, the Crown Prince’s wife, Xia, is from an aristocratic family, but she has no military power and her wealth is not as great as that of the Qi family.

The second prince married Princess Li, a daughter of a general. She had military power but no wealth or connections.

If you marry the eldest daughter of the Qi family, you will have all three.

Can't control it?

does not exist!

First, marry Miss Qi, but without having a wedding night with her, imprison her and force the father and son of the Qi family to kill the foreigners.

When you are fully grown, that will be the day to destroy the Qi family.

"Just the position of a princess can bring me so many benefits. I must do it by any means necessary!" The third prince made a decision, "I must take down that stupid and opinionless Miss Qi within a month."

Qi Mansion

Qi Wan played the piano happily in Yilan Courtyard to celebrate the murder of Lan Jian.

"Although I didn't kill the thief Lan Jian with my own hands, I avenged the murder of my father and brother in my previous life."

Just now, Lord Ge from the Ministry of Justice personally brought people to the Qi Mansion to inquire: "Where is Lan Ting, who was bought by Miss Qi, now?"

When Butler Qi saw that the visitor was an official from the Ministry of Justice, he was frightened, fearing that the eldest daughter had ordered the execution of Lan Ting and was being falsely accused.

The Qi family sent someone to report the execution of Lan Ting on the same day: "Today, the Qi family executed a female slave with a stick."

When Butler Qi saw the official from the Ministry of Justice coming to question him, he bowed and said carefully, "Your Excellency, Lan Ting has repeatedly stolen the master's valuable jewelry and sold it. The amount is too large, and she also disobeys discipline and often leaves the house without permission. She was beaten to death two days ago, and the report has been reported to the government office."

Lord Ge asked, "In which shops did she sell her jewelry?"

"Sir, this is a pawn ticket." Butler Qi took it out and handed it over with both hands.

He asked again: "What happened, sir?"

"Lan Ting's brother Lan Jian was killed outside the capital."

Lord Ge took the police to check the pawnshop and indeed found out that Lan Ting had pawned three sets of gold jewelry that year in exchange for three thousand taels of silver.

He also found out in the brothel that Lan Ting used the money to buy his mother and eldest sister-in-law, and their current whereabouts are unknown.

If a servant steals something too valuable, the master can beat him to death!

The women of officials who were sold to brothels for crimes could not be bought without permission, and those who violated the rules would be punished.

Everything Lan Ting did was punishable by death, and being beaten to death was her own fault.

The emperor did not pursue the murder of Lan Jian and seven others. "The exiles who dared to flee outside the capital should be punished with death." He instructed the Ministry of Justice to close the case.

The Ministry of Justice announced the case: "Lan Jian fled back to the capital, and on the way he had an argument with his housekeeper, and they exchanged shots, resulting in seven deaths."

Almost no one believes this statement.

Qi Wan didn't know what the truth of the matter was or who killed Lan Jian and his seven servants.

Xiuwen, the head maid of the upper courtyard, hurried to Yilan Courtyard.

She reported anxiously, "Miss, the old lady learned that my aunt broke her leg, so she called the eldest lady over. She is now cursing and asking the eldest master to divorce his wife."

Qi Wan's face darkened and his eyes narrowed slightly.

She cursed inwardly: "I wanted to let the old woman go, but I didn't expect her to make even more trouble."

Qi Wan stood up and walked out, "Let's go take a look."

Before she even reached the nursing home, she heard sharp scolding coming from inside, "You are not a virtuous person. You angered the eldest daughter of the Qi family and caused her to run away, causing her to scare her horse and break her leg on the way."

"You are unfilial for not coming to greet this lady and serve her tea."

"Come quickly, call Qi Lu back and ask him to write a letter of divorce. If he doesn't, I will go to the government office and sue him for being unfilial."

"In this world, you can't find a toad with four legs, but two-legged women are everywhere. Divorce your wife and find Qi Lu another young wife who is about 17 or 18 years old."

Da Ding cursed until she was foaming at the mouth and gasping for breath.

Qi Wan gnashed his teeth and was furious when he heard this.

Qi Yuehua's servants and the Yuan family's servants came to report the news, and told Da Ding very clearly, "The eldest aunt lost her temper on the way and threw a teacup, startling the horse."

Da Ding took this opportunity to make a scene, hoping to take back the power of housekeeper. It would be best if she could drive away the eldest daughter-in-law, Pei, and let Ding's niece be the concubine.

Da Ding's schemes come one after another.

Qi Wan walked in and saw his mother standing in the hall, with her head down, listening to Da Ding's curses and insults, not daring to talk back.

If Pei talked back and made Da Ding angry to death, she would be accused of being unfilial, which would harm her husband and children.

Qi Wan gritted his teeth and wanted to make Da Ding mute immediately.

But first she had to pick her mother out.

Qi Wan interrupted Da Ding's scolding anxiously and shouted, "Mother, it's bad. The Yuan family came to tell us that my aunt is dying. They said they need a hundred-year-old ginseng to save her life. I've been looking for it everywhere but couldn't find any. They said that only the Pei family has it. Do you want to give it to me?"

Mrs. Da Ding was so frightened by the news that she lost her temper. What if her daughter died without the old ginseng to save her life?

She stopped scolding and asking Qi Lu to divorce her. She turned and shouted, "Ms. Pei, quickly send someone to send your old ginseng to the Yuan family. If you don't rescue Yuehua, I will make you pay with your life."

Pei knew that her daughter came to help her out of trouble.

She bowed, "Yes, old lady," and walked out.

Qi Wan followed.

The mother and daughter returned to Qingfeng Courtyard, entered the inner room, sat down and drank tea and talked.

Qi Wan was angry because his mother was humiliated.

She grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Why did my grandfather marry someone like this as his successor?"

She asked in Da Ding's words: "Four-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged women are everywhere. Can't grandfather find a better one?"

Pei burst out laughing. Having a sensible daughter protecting her made her anger disappear.

"Ah Wan, when Ding became your grandfather's second wife, she was pretty, hardworking and kind."

"Otherwise, why would your grandfather want her?"

"As time went on, her greed grew and her character changed drastically."

Pei shook her head. "This person, what I fear most is that he doesn't have the ability to grow, but grows greedily and madly. That will definitely lead to trouble, not only harming the child, but also harming himself."

"Because Da Ding's dowry was too small, she first wanted to covet the dowry of the late wife, and then she wanted to covet the property of her two stepchildren."

"Her words and actions have corrupted her own son and daughter."

"That's right, Mom." Qi Wan nodded in agreement with her mother.

As she talked to her mother, she tucked her hands into her wide sleeves.

She twirled the beads in her sleeves and muttered something to herself.

After a cup of tea, Aunt Hu from the nursing home came running over, shouting in fear, "Oh no! The old lady cursed while eating bird's nest and choked and fainted. When she woke up, her mouth was crooked and she couldn't speak."

Pei was so shocked that she was stunned. After coming to her senses, she was thankful: "Fortunately, my wife is not here."

She complained in her heart: Like mother, like daughter, both of them got it from swearing at others, it's karma.

Otherwise, the Ding family and the third branch would definitely blame her for the old lady's stroke.

"Well, it's okay." Qi Wan's mouth curled up, and his pair of black eyes shone brightly.

The Qi residence was immediately in chaos. The palace doctor went to see her and said, "The old lady has had a stroke."

Then he sent for the imperial physician, who was the old lady's son-in-law. When he saw the old lady's mouth twisted and drooling, and that she couldn't move anything except her eyes, he announced expressionlessly, "The old lady has had a stroke."

Tears flowed from the old lady's eyes. She opened her mouth wide and used all her strength to hold back her tears, her face turning red. She could not utter a word, but only let out a series of loud farts.

Doctor Yuan wrote a prescription and said bluntly to the servants around the old lady: "The old lady needs to rest and not be stimulated again, otherwise she will not live for a few more days..."

The old ladies around the old lady who loved to stir up trouble immediately became obedient.

Once the old lady dies, they will all be sold out.

Following the old lady, living a life of luxury and receiving a generous monthly salary, these days will never come again.
