The Reborn Girl Wants to Kill Me

The Marquis's wife still felt guilty towards Xin Guiyue, so when she saw her crying, she quickly waved, "Come quickly. Mother just told your sister that she has found a suitable marriage for you."

Xin Guiyue plopped down between Xin Zhixuan and Madam Hou, then leaned her whole body into Madam Hou's arms: "Mother, which marriage are you looking for me? Is it the eldest son of the Minister of Personnel? Or the young general of the General Guarding the Nation's family?"

She thought about the men of the right age in Kyoto, the grandson of the Grand Tutor, and the second son of the Grand Princess's mansion...

In her previous life, she was always by her mother's side when she was choosing a husband for Xin Zhixuan. Xin Zhixuan fell in love with the grandson of the Grand Tutor, but he didn't like her, hahaha.

A fake who really thinks he is a dish.

However, Xin Guiyue only likes the top scholar Zhang Junyao. She values his character and talent, and believes that with Zhang Junyao's ability, it is only a matter of time before he enters the cabinet and becomes a prime minister.

In her previous life, she was almost half-locked up in a Buddhist temple. She didn't know how high Zhang Junyao had reached, but she thought it wouldn't be bad.

Madam Hou and Xin Zhixuan looked at each other, both of them embarrassed.

"Mother, is he the second young master of the Princess's Mansion?"

"No," the Marquis's wife stopped her from guessing, holding her forehead helplessly: "Yue'er, none of them are. Mother will find someone suitable for you. The first place in this examination is about your age and family background——"

"I do not want!"

Miao Guiyue reacted strongly. The first place in the examination, wasn't that Ji Yanli? She had finally broken off the engagement with him, and besides, how could his status be worthy of her?

"Mom! Are you really my mother? Other families want their daughters to marry into wealthy families, but you only marry a peasant for me! Or do you think I'm only fit to marry someone of low status?"

"How could that be?" The Marquis's wife pulled her aside and explained, "Although that champion's family background is not prominent, your father said that he will definitely be in the top three of the palace examination. With your father's support, he will not be far behind in the officialdom in the future——"

"I said I don't want it!" Xin Guiyue interrupted her again, "If you think it's so good, why don't you tell her?"

Xin Guiyue pointed at Xin Zhixuan, and Xin Zhixuan, who had been watching the show with gloating, suddenly stopped.

"Why should I tell you that? Mother has already arranged for me to marry the eldest prince as a concubine. As for Huiyuan, who has a bright future, it's better for you to marry him, sister."

The contempt in Xin Zhixuan's eyes completely infuriated Xin Guiyue. She raised her hand and hit the bitch who had taken over her position but was so self-righteous. With a "slap", a red slap mark appeared on Xin Zhixuan's face.

"Ah, Jiaojiao!"

Madam Hou hugged Xin Zhixuan distressedly and said, "Mother, take a look. Is your face intact?"

Xin Guiyue has been doing rough labor since she was a child, so she is definitely very strong. She used all her strength in that slap, and Xin Zhixuan's face was already swollen.

"Snapped!"

The Marquis's wife slapped Xin Guiyue in the face with her backhand. "I was the one who proposed this marriage. Do you still want to hit me? You ungrateful thing, get back to your yard!"

Xin Guiyue covered her face and ran away sadly.

"Mom, don't be angry. If you're angry, Jiaojiao will feel bad too. Sister doesn't know that you're doing this for her own good. Jiaojiao knows that you're worried that she'll be bullied if she marries into a wealthy family. Sister really doesn't understand your painstaking efforts."

Madam Hou sighed and hugged Xin Zhixuan to examine her face. Her Jiaojiao was the most sensible, so how could she not be her biological daughter?

"Although that champion had some literary talent, it's not that easy for him to become an official in the imperial court. The last champion was called Zhang Junyao, but isn't he still idling away in that humble office of the Hanlin Academy? Your sister married Ji Yanli, and with the support of the Marquis's Mansion, I don't think he would dare bully others. Alas, your sister is a fool."

Xin Guiyue did not return to her own yard, but ran out to find Zhang Junyao. She complained to Zhang Junyao, then buried her head in Zhang Junyao's arms and cried.

"Wow, Jun Yao, what should I do? Mother wants me to get married. She has seen many young men from powerful families, but I don't want to. You know I only like one person."

At this point, she raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Junyao shyly. Zhang Junyao touched her face and asked, "Because you didn't want to get married, the Marquis's wife beat you?"

"Well, I would rather she beat me and scold me than compromise."

Zhang Junyao's eyes were deep, and he grabbed her hand tightly: "Yue'er, do you really want to marry me so much?"

"Of course." Xin Guiyue felt that she was too proactive, so she asked back: "What about you? Do you want to marry me?"

"of course."

Zhang Junyao smiled and said, "But noble families have many rules and they pay attention to matching each other. Yue'er, it will be difficult for you to be with me."

How could that be? Xin Guiyue disagreed. Her mother saw Ji Yanli for her. Zhang Junyao was a hundred times better than Ji Yanli.

"Yue'er, why don't we do this..."

The bewitching voice sounded in her ears. Xin Guiyue hesitated, but when she met Zhang Junyao's affectionate eyes, she finally nodded.

……

The Marquis's wife took a few days to calm down. She thought Xin Guiyue would come to her to apologize, but she didn't come. Not only did she not come, she also ran out of the Marquis's Mansion every day.

This is like turning a deaf ear to her words.

She was so angry that she asked her maid to call Xin Guiyue. Before the maid left, another maid ran in in a panic.

"Madam, something bad has happened to the eldest lady."

Madam Hou stood up suddenly and asked, "What happened to Yue'er?"

"The young lady fell into the water."

The maid added, "After falling into the water, she was rescued by Master Zhang."

"Which Lord Zhang?"

"That's the top scholar, Master Zhang Junyao."

The Marquis’s wife held her forehead and cursed, “Evil girl!”

He hurried over with his men.

While the Marquis' Mansion and the Zhang family were discussing the marriage, two distinguished guests arrived at Ji Yanli's courtyard.

"Brother...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Ji Yanli was about to kneel down to salute when Qi Chen helped him up. Qi Chen smiled and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to salute. Look who else is coming."

Ji Yanli looked behind Qi Chen and saw a bearded man in a green uniform smiling at him.

Ji Yanli was shocked. Although he had never seen the emperor, he could guess who this person was from the few words Qi Chen mentioned.

"Your Majesty, long live the Emperor."

He performed the greetings neatly and followed the local customs. He did not bring out the modern idea of equality for all.

"Get up, Chen'er praises your talents in front of me every day. I heard that you two even became sworn brothers."

Ji Yanli quickly said he didn't dare, and Qi Chen said, "Father, without Brother Yan, I would have been in danger last time. Actually, he is my savior."

The emperor glanced at him with a smile and entered the house first.

Ji Yanli glanced at the man dressed as a eunuch following behind the emperor. When the man saw Ji Yanli looking at him, he winked at him playfully. His black eyes were bright, his facial features were delicate, and there was a noticeable piercing on his ear.

Princess Jinyang.

Ji Yanli lowered his eyes in thought, with a respectful look on his face.

They chatted in the room for a full hour. When they left, the emperor's face was serious. "Ji Yanli, I have an important matter for the Crown Prince to handle. You will assist me. Today will be my palace examination for you. When you return, I will personally select you as the top scorer."
