The host ruthlessly crushes scum in the small world

Just as the two returned to the capital, they were surprised to hear that Shi Yixi was going to marry Jiang Yuepan, the granddaughter of the Marquis of Anqing. The Marquis of Anqing was a marquis during the late emperor's reign, but he was no longer as highly regarded.

But Marquis Anqing is no pushover; he wields considerable power in the court. So Lin Chuyun wasn't surprised that Shi Yixi was able to pick Jiang Yuepan. But could he really control Jiang Yuepan?

"I don't believe you can't see his intentions?"

Lin Chuyun looked at the well-dressed woman in front of her and didn't recognize her for a moment. In the original owner's memories, Jiang Yuepan was a woman who never gave up.

Their clothing was so casual, nothing like the dignified appearance of a lady from an official family dressed like this now.

The reason why the original owner was familiar with Jiang Yuepan was that the two had similar personalities, but since Shi Yixi appeared, Jiang Yuepan completely looked down on Shi Yixi and even hated the original owner for having bad eyesight!

"You don't know, my dad's been pressuring me to get married lately, and that Shi Yixi just happened to be trying to seduce me, so I just went along with it and agreed."

Seeing Jiang Yuepan's nonchalant expression, which didn't seem like she was deeply in love with Shi Yixi, Lin Chuyun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But to her surprise, Jiang Yuepan looked at Lin Chuyun suspiciously. Lin Chuyun felt uncomfortable under her gaze and looked down at her clothes to see if there was anything wrong with them.

"You don't still have feelings for that Shi Yixi, do you?"

Lin Chuyun quickly waved her hand in denial; how could she possibly still like Shi Yixi?

Jiang Yuepan stared at Lin Chuyun for a while, and finally believed Lin Chuyun's words.

"You don't know this person? You thought you had me under your control, so you started looking for other people! Did you think I didn't know?"

"Who is it? Aren't you afraid your dad will find out?! We'll skin him alive!"

Jiang Yuepan rolled her eyes. Shi Yixi was a bit too confident. He thought that once they were engaged, it was a done deal, so he rented a courtyard house outside and went there from time to time.

"Shi Yixi thinks I can't live without him now, and the wedding is coming soon, right? Our family is preparing things for the wedding. You know, when a bride gets married, she has to prepare something she embroidered for the groom. So she thinks I won't pay attention to him anymore."

After hearing what Shi Yixi said, Lin Chuyun felt that the original owner of this body was truly obsessed with love. She recalled how the original owner had embroidered a purse herself, which Shi Yixi had probably either thrown away or told Ming Xiaxia as a joke.

Do you know who that person is?

"It's easy to find out. It's that girl from his village, named Ming Xiaxia. She said she came to seek refuge with him, but who doesn't know what that means? Why did she have to show up only after Shi Yixi entered the court?"

"Then you must be very careful!"

"Of course."

After parting ways with Jiang Yuepan, Lin Chuyun had another meal with the Emperor. The time then came for Jiang Yuepan's wedding. As expected of Marquis Anqing, who had lived during the reign of the late Emperor, Jiang Yuepan was his own granddaughter.

Lin Chuyun and Ji Yisi found a teahouse and watched Shi Yixi riding a horse below. His face was truly beaming with joy, and Jiang Yuepan sat on a sedan chair behind him. People around them were all trying to get the silver that Marquis Anqing had specially prepared for his granddaughter.

"Look, who's that?"

Ji Yisi looked down at the people hidden in the crowd. Lin Chuyun followed the direction Ji Yisi was pointing and saw the person. Wasn't that Ming Xiaxia?

Ming Xiaxia stood there watching the man who had been so affectionate with her just yesterday, now marrying another woman. She was unwilling to accept that she could only be a mistress while that woman could sit in a luxury car and be formally married into Shi Yixi's family!

"She's not reconciled, is she?"

Lin Chuyun looked at Ming Xiaxia's expression; her emotions were written all over her face. How could she have been so composed in her previous life? Ever since the original owner married into the family, she had taken care of all the affairs of the household, leaving everything to her. She had even handled all of Shi Yixi's social interactions in the court for him.

Therefore, Shi Yixi only needed to pretend to be very capable in court, give the original owner a sweet treat after court, and spend the rest of his time appeasing Ming Xiaxia. Otherwise, Ming Xiaxia would probably lose her temper very quickly.

All of this is based on the premise that the original owner still liked Shi Yixi, but now Jiang Yuepan doesn't like Shi Yixi anymore.

"This is where the fun begins!"

Sure enough, not long after Shi Yixi married Jiang Yuepan, he made a mistake in court. The information Lin Chuyun's people had gathered revealed that Ming Xiaxia had been causing him trouble; she wanted a formal title, not just a mistress.

Shi Yixi was directly ordered by the emperor to stay away from court until he received an imperial decree. Upon returning, Shi Yixi saw Jiang Yuepan reclining in a chair, attended to by maids. Enraged, Shi Yixi overturned the plate of fruit that had been laid out. Jiang Yuepan reached out to grab some, only to find her fruit smashed on the ground.

The maids beside him immediately stepped aside. These maids were all brought by Jiang Yuepan from the Marquis's residence, and naturally they wouldn't follow Shi Yixi's actions.

"Why are you crazy?!"

Jiang Yuepan stood up abruptly, feeling heartbroken as she looked at the fallen fruit. Shi Yixi had just been punished in court and then ridiculed by his colleagues afterward. When he returned and saw this scene, he was furious.

"I'm working hard in court, while you're indulging in extravagance and waste. Shouldn't you be managing the affairs of the household?!"

Since marrying into the household, Jiang Yuepan has been responsible for purchasing most of the people and managing various affairs quite well. After all, no young lady from a prominent family is untrained in such matters. The only difference between her and the original owner is that Jiang Yuepan didn't use that time to cultivate interpersonal relationships for Shi Yixi.

Shi Yixi, believing himself to be the top scholar, looked down on others, unknowingly offending many, especially those with powerful connections. Therefore, Shi Yixi's life was naturally no longer as comfortable as it had been in his previous life.

"I'm wasting fruit? Who threw the fruit on the ground?"

"How much silver is left in the manor?"

Jiang Yuepan sat on the recliner, looking at Shi Yixi standing there, and said indifferently

How much of your monthly salary do you think you have left?

"What do you mean? Aren't we one entity? Why do we need to distinguish between 'yours' and 'mine'?"

"Otherwise what? You think you can use my family's money to make up for it? You must be dreaming! Alright, I'm sleepy, keep your voice down, I'm going to rest."

Jiang Yuepan ignored Shi Yixi and went to sleep with the help of a maid, leaving Shi Yixi alone there in a helpless rage. The reason Shi Yixi asked this question was because a minister was celebrating his birthday, and he naturally had to go and show his support. But what could he do without money?
