My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Ji Yunshuang's shop in the city kept many people from getting a good night's sleep, but the villagers of Shuanghe Village were completely unaware of it.

Ji Wanying took the money given to her by Li Yaozong and went to the city when she had time. However, she did not go to buy gifts, but instead went to see Madam An.

She told An about Ji Yunshuang's family settling in Shuanghe Village as well.

Upon hearing this, Madam An asked in surprise, "How did they end up settling in Shuanghe Village?"

Upon hearing her daughter's words, she immediately sought out information about Ji Yunshuang.

However, since they were unfamiliar with Hongdu after arriving there, they had not yet found any information related to her.

She never expected that Ji Yunshuang would also settle in Shuanghe Village.

They originally wanted to establish connections with the Li family and settle in Shuanghe Village.

However, because the gifts were too expensive, they ultimately couldn't bring themselves to spend the money. They also didn't want to go to the poorer villages, so they're still staying in inns to this day.

Ji Yunshuang was just married to a hunter who lived in the village. Why was she allowed to settle in Shuanghe Village?

"Could it be that she really hooked up with some influential person? Or perhaps she had some opportunity and became rich?"

"How would I know!" A hint of resentment flashed in Ji Wanying's eyes. "That vixen is even better at seducing people than before. We can't let her live."

Madam An exclaimed in shock and anger, "Has she gone to seduce her son-in-law Li again?"

Ji Wanying nodded and said, "Li Yaozong is completely bewitched by her now, and all he wants is to get his hands on her. If that bitch really enters the family as a concubine, where will I find my place in the Li family?"

Madam An was both angry and regretful, saying, "I shouldn't have spared her life! It's all my fault, I'm the one who harmed you."

"It's not too late for Mother to take action now."

Ji Wanying gave the 100-tael silver note that Li Yaozong had given her to Madam An and said, "This was all given to me by Li Yaozong. He told me to buy gifts to coax that slut. Mother, please take it and use it."

Madam An took the silver note and sneered, "Back then, when we asked him to help us pull some strings so we could all settle in Shuanghe Village, he kept making excuses. Now, for that wretched woman, he's being so generous!"

“That’s right. We’ve been married for so many years, and he’s never been this generous to me before.”

As Ji Wanying spoke, her heart ached again. Although she despised Li Yaozong, the thought of him going to such lengths for another woman made her feel terrible.

Madam An glanced at her daughter's flat belly, sighed subtly, and said, "Don't worry, Mother will definitely help you solve this big problem."

"Tomorrow, I'll try to find out where there's a good doctor to give you a proper checkup. No matter what, you two need to have a child first."

Thinking of Li Yaozong now fills Ji Wanying with nausea. But she has already married into the Li family and is now a Li family woman.

Aside from having a child to solidify her position in the Li family, she couldn't think of a better way out for the time being.

She left the inn where her mother was staying, feeling utterly miserable. She randomly picked out a few cheap pastries in town and carried them back to Shuanghe Village.

As she passed by the grove of trees from that day, she inexplicably went inside.

As soon as she walked there, she couldn't help but think of those embarrassing scenes from that day. Her heart started racing, and she felt as if an electric current was running through her body.

Realizing she was actually reminiscing about that day, her face flushed involuntarily, and she hurriedly walked out.

But after taking only a few steps, he bumped right into Shunzi who was coming from the opposite direction.

Upon seeing Ji Wanying, Shunzi's eyes flashed with surprise, and he grabbed her, saying, "You can't let go of me either, can you?"

Ji Wanying struggled in a panic, saying, "Don't do this, I... I didn't."

Shunzi gripped her tighter. "I don't believe it. If you didn't still care about me, why would you come here on purpose?"

Ji Wanying said, "I was just on my way to my stepsister's house and passed by here... I felt depressed and wanted to find a quiet place to sit alone."

When Shunzi saw the gift box in her hand, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes. "Did he bully you again?"

She did not cry when she discovered Li Yaozong's feelings for Ji Yunshuang and tried to deal with him.

She didn't cry when she went to her mother to ask for a way to get rid of Ji Yunshuang. But for some reason, when she heard Shunzi's question, Ji Wanying suddenly burst into tears of grievance.

She nodded, looking aggrieved, and said, "He asked me to deliver something to my stepsister."

“Your stepsister is married…” Shunzi subconsciously wanted to point, wondering why she was still restless even after getting married.

But then he thought that Ji Wanying was also married, yet she was still entangled with him, and that his words also implied a accusation against her, so he swallowed the rest of his words.

"I'll help you."

Ji Wanying's eyes lit up, and she looked at him with a bright smile, asking, "How will you help me?"

Thinking of how Lu Yinheng and his wife had caused his mother to remain bedridden, Shunzi's eyes were filled with hatred as he said, "Let her never be able to run rampant again and seduce people everywhere."

Ji Wanying leaned against Shunzi's chest, deeply moved.

Shunzi hugged her tighter, his voice unconsciously softening, "Let's go to the cave, okay?"

Ji Wanying neither agreed nor refused.

Shunzi scooped her up in his arms and strode toward the cave.

After Sweet Fragrance Shop opened, Ji Yunshuang no longer had to hide her spending.

Taking advantage of the current unrest and the large-scale sale of fixed assets, she immediately bought a shop in the city and two estates outside the city.

After she broke Master Huang's neck, she took the opportunity to bring out the horse from her storage space, saddled it, and used it openly.

Although the horses that Master Huang used to pull his carriage were considered good horses, they were just horses used for pulling carriages, not the rare and precious thoroughbreds.

But after the horse had been kept in the space for some time, Ji Yunshuang discovered that the horse had changed.

Now, she believes that even if Master Huang were to come back to life, he wouldn't recognize that this was the horse he used to pull his carriage.

The Huang family couldn't identify the horse that had already been transformed, but recently they had their eyes on Ji Yunshuang.

To be precise, their initial target wasn't Ji Yunshuang, but rather Tianxiangfang.

Sweet Fragrance House has recently become very popular in Hongdu, and it has also been involved with Prince Rui's Mansion, so Huang Jiayu had someone investigate it.

Huang Jiayu never expected that after sending people to search for that woman in the countryside without success, she would end up opening a shop right under his nose and causing such a commotion.

He was so angry that he almost smashed the teacup in his hand.

Chen said, "Young Master! That woman is very cunning. She caused such a commotion as soon as she arrived in Hongdu. She probably already knew about our actions and deliberately used this method to attract Prince Rui's attention."

This puts us in a passive position. If I make a move now, it will surely attract Prince Rui's attention.

Huang Jiayu said unhappily, "If you can't do it openly, then do it secretly. Do I need to teach you that?"

Chen Wu hurriedly lowered his head and replied, "Your subordinate will make the arrangements immediately."

"Wait a minute." Huang Jiayu thought for a moment, then said, "Don't rush into action. Let's investigate further and see who she's working for! Investigate everyone she's been in contact with, except for her. Especially her husband; have someone keep a close eye on him."

Chen Wu lowered his head and replied, "Yes!"
