The Reborn Girl Wants to Kill Me

Before the government arrived, Ji Yanli sent someone to watch Zhang and took people to Ji Yannan and Ji Lan'er.

Ji Yannan's study is almost entirely filled with the writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone that Cheng Suian brought as a dowry, rare ancient books, poems, calligraphy, and paintings.

Song Jingshu was pouring her heart out to Ji Yannan in his room when she was dragged out by Ji Yanli's men. Her swollen face turned blue and purple, so ugly that people could not bear to look at it.

The two were thrown into Zhang's yard. Ji Yannan was weak and kept coughing after being left behind. Zhang didn't care about anything else and hurried over to see her son.

Ji Lan'er came over behind the servants who were carrying things. As soon as she saw Ji Yanli, she frowned and blamed Ji Yanli.

The original body had always been nice to this only sister, which led to her not being able to see her own position clearly. She had to compare her food, clothing and other expenses with those of a legitimate daughter, and she would often yell in front of the original body.

She had set her sights on the Duke of Zhenguo's son and asked her original self to mediate. She advised him to find someone else, as the Duke of Zhenguo's son was a gambler and a drunkard, and a whoremonger, making him an unsuitable husband. Furthermore, no matter how favored Ji Lan'er was, she was still a concubine, and how could she possibly qualify for the position of the Duke of Zhenguo's son's wife? Forcing her to marry him would only lead to her suffering.

Because of this, Ji Lan'er thought that the original body could not bear to see her doing well and held a grudge against the original body. It was she who stole the original body's military seal, and after the original body's tendons and bones were pulled out, she still applauded.

This ungrateful person deserves to die.

Ji Yanli kicked her down and pointed at her, saying, "Tie these people up and punish them together when the authorities come."

Apart from Zhang who vaguely felt that Ji Yanli had changed, Ji Yannan and Ji Lan'er still thought that Ji Yanli was the original self who turned a blind eye to them in the past. They did not take his words to heart at all, and even shouted that they would give Ji Wenbin a lesson when he came back.

Ji Yanli snorted coldly and sat in a recliner drinking tea. His leisurely posture formed a sharp contrast with the people who were trapped like dumplings.

Song Jingshu was also tied together. She was pressed tightly against Ji Yannan. Although it was uncomfortable, being so close to her lover, as if being embraced by him, still made her feel extremely sweet. With her eyes slightly lowered, she quietly enjoyed the moment.

Ji Yanli accidentally caught a glimpse of her and immediately got goosebumps all over his body.

What the hell, it looks like he has a mental illness.

The authorities arrived soon.

The Xin'en Mansion was favored by the emperor because of Ji Yanli. Everyone thought that he would restore the glory of his ancestors, and no one would neglect him.

"Second Young Master."

The officials saluted.

The Duke's Mansion hadn't produced any capable individuals since the old man's generation. Without merit or fault, their titles had been downgraded over three generations. When the old man handed the Duke's Mansion over to Ji Yanli, Ji Yanli was no longer a Duke, but a Marquis. However, the emperor valued him so much that he had not yet issued the title, hoping that he would retain his title without being demoted, given his meritorious service.

Although there is no decree to confer a title now, there is no decree to demote the title either. Ji Yanli is the actual person in charge of the Xin'en Mansion. Although he is called the second young master, in the eyes of others he is the Duke of Xin'en.

Ji Yanli pointed at Zhang and others and told them about how they had embezzled the dowry. The dowry that was found was still piled up outside and had not been sorted out. It was not even enough to fit into an entire yard.

Since ancient times, the Lan Kingdom has attached great importance to the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, especially the ownership of the legitimate wife's dowry, which is clearly defined with rules and regulations.

Favoring the wife over the concubine would result in a criminal sentence, not to mention that a concubine who secretly used the wife's dowry would be sold as a slave according to the law. Bastards were also not allowed to take the wife's dowry without permission. Although they would not be sold like concubines, they would still be beaten with a stick.

If he were beaten with fifty sticks, I don’t know if he would survive.

Ji Yannan, who looked gentle and calm, was also anxious at the moment. Ji Wenbin had gone somewhere to fool around and hadn't come back yet. The only person he could count on was the indifferent Ji Yanli.

"Second brother, second brother, Auntie didn't do it on purpose. She, she was just keeping it for safekeeping. Although the place where she placed it was inappropriate, she would never take anything from Mother for herself. Second brother, you misunderstood."

Ji Yannan's impromptu excuse was lame and unconvincing. Not only Ji Yanli, but even the officials looked at him as if he were a fool.

Who can keep other people's things in their own house? Isn't this bullshit?

When the officials saw that Ji Yanli's face didn't show any fluctuation, they calmed down.

"take away!"

Zhang is Ji Wenbin's woman, but Ji Wenbin is a piece of shit. He is not even qualified to inherit a title. He is just a waste who only knows how to talk about love.

"Ji Yanli! Aren't you afraid that father will punish you if he finds out about this? Father, father loves me the most, Ji Yanli! As long as you let me go this time, I am willing to help you and father reconcile, and let father treat you well in the future!"

Ji Yanli sneered: "My father and I have nothing to reconcile, but you should think about how to save your own life."

Ji Yanli's move completely intimidated those who took advantage of his absence to seek refuge with Zhang. The servants in the mansion now had a surprisingly unified mindset:

Don’t offend anyone but the Second Young Master. The Second Young Master has the final say in Xin’en Mansion!

Ji Wenbin had a great time on the flower boat with his friends. Since Cheng Suian passed away, he had been living a very happy life. Zhang had complained about him several times, but as long as he looked unhappy, she didn't dare to say anything.

The days of the gods are just like this.

It was not until dawn the next day that he returned home sleepily. He did not notice anything was wrong until he entered the yard.

The yard was a mess, and it was obvious that it had been robbed.

How outrageous! They actually stole into their Duke’s Mansion. Those little thieves are so bold!

And Ji Yanli, what a waste!

His sleepiness suddenly vanished, and he angrily went to find Ji Yanli to settle the score. However, when he passed by Zhang's house, it was also in a mess. Ji Yannan's yard was clean and tidy, but it was empty.

Even Ji Lan'er's yard...

This doesn't look like something a normal thief would do, it looks more like...

Copy the house!

He shuddered and ran quickly to Ji Yanli's yard.

If the servants in the mansion were not still there, he would have been scared to death.

When he arrived at Ji Yanli's place, Ji Wenbin was startled at first to see the servants carrying things out box by box. Then he saw Ji Yanli lying leisurely on a lounge chair basking in the sun.

He strode over, pointed at Ji Yanli and shouted angrily: "What the hell are you doing? Look at what you've done to this beautiful house. Stay here if you want or not, then get out!"

Ji Yanli looked at the finger that was about to poke his face, and without hesitation, he raised his hand and twisted it gently. Ji Wenbin instantly let out a distorted scream.

"I should be the one telling my father this. I've packed your things, and you can get out now."
