The Reborn Girl Wants to Kill Me

Ji Yanli paused, "Are you awake?"

Qi Chen stood up and hissed, and Ji Yanli helped him lie down again.

"Your injuries are serious. Rest well first."

"Thank you."

Qi Chen's voice was a little hoarse, so Ji Yanli poured him a glass of water to moisten his throat. After drinking the water, Qi Chen asked, "Has anyone come to see me?"

"No, but..." Ji Yanli paused: "The night before last, there were sounds of people walking on the roof, and many houses in the village were searched."

A cold look flashed in Qi Chen's eyes.

His younger brothers really won't give up until they see him dead.

He received an imperial order to go to Jiangnan on business, and encountered an assassination on his way back to Beijing. It just so happened that his guards were not around. Everything was so coincidental that no one would believe that there was no accomplice.

He pressed the wound with his hand. The wound almost went through his entire abdomen. Before he fell into a coma, he had a premonition that he would never wake up.

Qi Chen looked at Ji Yanli and thanked him solemnly again. Regardless of whether Ji Yanli was really kind-hearted and saved him or had other motives, it was true that he saved his life.

After a few words, Qi Chen's face turned pale. Ji Yanli told him to take good care of his injuries and not to think too much.

"It's fate. We were planning a wedding at home, so there were a lot of people coming and going a few days ago. Now that the wedding is over, it's just my family, and usually there aren't many people coming. It's quiet, just right for you to recuperate."

When Qi Chen's injury healed a little and he could barely get out of bed, Ji Yanli made him a wheelchair so that he could walk around the yard in the fresh air.

Qi Chen was surprised. He was born into a noble family, so what good things had he not seen? But he had never seen what Ji Yanli took out before.

"Why do you have so many ideas in your head? This wheelchair and that thing called soap, I... I'm so ignorant, I've never even heard of them."

Ji Yanli didn't expose him, scratching his head pretending to be honest, "Brother, I won't hide it from you. My parents sent me to school in town, and I like to think about things on my own in my free time. This wheelchair was not made by me. I just told the carpenter my idea, and he really made it for me."

"Oh? You're a scholar?"

Qi Chen raised his hand and patted him, then asked him a few questions. Seeing that he answered fluently and had his own opinions on many things, he couldn't suppress his admiration for talent.

"Good, good, study hard, and you'll be able to make a name for yourself!"

Ji Yanli also smiled. As long as he could help him suppress the Marquis' Mansion when he was still weak, everything would be fine in the future.

After all, Qi Chen's injury had not fully healed, and he often felt sleepy in the middle of a conversation, but he really enjoyed chatting with Ji Yanli. Many of Ji Yanli's ideas coincided with his. Most importantly, some of Ji Yanli's words often gave him sudden enlightenment, and Qi Chen couldn't help but regard Ji Yanli as a close friend.

By the time the people from the capital looking for Qi Chen arrived in the village, the two had already started calling each other Brother Chen and Brother Ji.

"His Royal Highness."

A group of people knelt in the small courtyard. The guards around them were wearing uniform black armor and carrying scimitars. This time, the villagers who came to watch the fun did not dare to show their heads. It was not until the team that came to pick up Qi Chen had gone far away that someone opened the door a crack and looked out quietly from inside.

"Oh my god, Ji Yanli has managed to get close to the powerful people in the capital!"

"Those masters all had knives in their hands. I took a look and saw that the knives were shiny white and you could tell they had seen blood."

"Auntie Liu, do you know what a bloody knife looks like?"

"Isn't it? The butcher's knife at the village entrance is like that. It feels cold even from a distance, hiss."

Miao Guiyue also knew that Ji Yanli had hooked up with someone from the capital, but so what? Even if he was powerful, could he compare to the Marquis' Mansion? He was probably just a minor official guarding the city, and the scene was just a big deal.

But why did she remember that the person those people were looking for in her previous life was already dead?

Never mind, maybe she brought blessings to other people after her rebirth. So, it was not Ji Yanli who saved that person, it was clearly her, Miao Guiyue.

In her previous life, she didn't know her own life experience and hid behind others to watch the fun. Now that she knows that she is the daughter of a marquis, she consciously keeps a distance from men from other families. After people from the capital came, she didn't show up at all and waited quietly at home for people from the marquis to pick her up.

She must win the top scholar in this life!

So, when Ji Yanli won the first place in the provincial examination the following year, Miao Guiyue waited anxiously for someone to come to the mansion. When Ji Yanli packed his luggage to go to the capital to take the imperial examination the third year, Miao Guiyue finally couldn't sit still anymore.

Her relationship with the Miao family has become increasingly worse in recent years. She hated the Miao family for exchanging her for a wealthy and prosperous life, while the Miao family despised her for being lazy and unwilling to do anything and for not accepting the marriage they arranged. They disliked each other so much that Miao Guiyue simply stole the silver from Old Lady Miao's house while the Miao family was away, packed up her things and secretly rushed to the capital.

She didn't understand why no one from the Marquis' Mansion came to pick her up in this life. Could it be that someone in the Marquis' Mansion was also reincarnated and thought that she was already married, so they simply ignored her?

She didn't!

Throughout her life, she always held herself to the standards of a noble lady in the capital, never doing housework, never leaving the house, just waiting for her real family to come and pick her up so she could surprise them. Why didn't they come?

And there is Ji Yanli. She doesn't believe that Ji Yanli can pass the imperial examination on his own. It must be the benefit given to him by the man in the capital after he saved him. He actually went to take part in the imperial examination without any self-awareness. It's better that the two of them never got married in this life. Ji Yanli's embarrassment would not involve her. She wants to see what Ji Yanli, a country bumpkin, will do when he arrives in the huge capital.

She won't care about him.

Ji Yanli, who Miao Guiyue believed would make a fool of himself, had already boarded the carriage sent by Qi Chen to pick him up. The two had never lost contact in the past few years. Not long after Qi Chen returned to the capital, Ji Yanli sent him a letter with a piece of paper attached, which detailed the method of making and using cement.

Qi Chen's reply was quick, his excitement written in black ink. Ji Yanli simply wanted to thank him for the information explosion of his age. As long as one was willing to read and learn, one could learn a lot through the Internet.

Everyone in the capital knew that Qi Chen had adopted a younger brother. Qi Chen described this younger brother as a man of extraordinary talent. He always gave Qi Chen many things he had never seen or heard of before, such as cement, soap, and precious glass...

People in Beijing are flocking to everything.

Qi Chen kept the cement and glass recipes in his own hands, and gave the soaps, perfumes, etc. to his younger sister, Princess Jinyang. But no matter which one, he gave Ji Yanli a share of the profits, so Ji Yanli's net worth has skyrocketed.

The first thing he did when he arrived in the capital was to buy a five-story house on Rich Street, and after the imperial examination was over, he would bring the old couple from the Ji family over.

In the past two years, he has also bought five or six shops in the town. Before he came to the capital this time, he had distributed them to the Ji family members. In his previous life, the Marquis' Mansion killed people and did not let them go. This is a small compensation.

Wait a minute, he will make the Marquis pay for this with his life.

All the main roads in the capital are paved with smooth cement. People no longer have to worry about getting their shoes and socks muddy when they come and go on rainy or snowy days. The roads are easy to walk on, and travelers save a lot of time.

Miao Guiyue walked on the concrete ground, her heart in turmoil.
