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

As soon as Ji Wanying arrived at her doorstep, she was met with a barrage of insults from Li's mother: "Where have you been? Why are you only coming back now?"

Do you know that Yaozong coughed terribly after coming back from going out with you? How have you been taking care of him? Don't you act like a wife at all? You can't have children, you're useless in everything else, what good are you?

When Ji Wanying heard that Li Yaozong was coughing badly, she felt extremely relieved.

No wonder it was the medicine she went through so much trouble to obtain back then. It's truly excellent.

She laughed inwardly, but said in alarm, "What happened? Did you drink some alcohol and get chilled by the cold wind?"

As she spoke, she hurriedly walked into the house, complaining to Li Yaozong that she had told him not to drink so much, but he insisted on toasting her stepsister, which caused her to drink quite a bit as well. She even vomited outside when she came back.

Knowing her son's feelings for Ji Yunshuang, Li's mother's previously arrogant demeanor immediately diminished after hearing Ji Wanying's complaints.

Especially considering that the Lu family is having a housewarming party today, with not only Lu Yinheng present but also many other guests, it's really too impatient for her son to be so eager to toast Ji Yunshuang at this time.

She couldn't help but feel a little resentful that her son was so immature.

Seeing her mother-in-law's reaction, Ji Wanying knew that her words had worked, and she felt extremely pleased.

Not only did he go in to personally take care of Lai Yiu Tsong, but when he saw that Lai Yiu Tsong's condition was not improving, he also seemed more anxious than anyone else.

The Li family invited several doctors to treat Li Yaozong, but his condition not only did not improve, but became more and more serious.

Mother Li was so anxious that she developed mouth ulcers and several large blisters on her lips. She kept cursing the doctors in Hongdu for being quacks who couldn't even diagnose a simple cold.

She inquired everywhere and finally found a miracle doctor. She spent a lot of money to invite him to treat Li Yaozong. However, the miracle doctor turned around and ran away after only one glance, saying that Li Yaozong had tuberculosis, which was contagious and could infect the whole family if they were not careful.

The elderly couple, Li Yaozong and his wife, had only one son. Upon hearing the tragic news, both of them fell ill.

When Li Yanxiu saw her older brother and parents collapse one after another, she was terrified and blamed Ji Wanying, saying that it was all her fault.

Ji Wanying had long been fed up with Li Yanxiu. Before, she didn't dare to deal with Li Yanxiu because of her parents-in-law and husband, and she suffered a lot of anger.

Now that both her parents are sick and Li Yaozong is about to die, what is she still enduring?

She immediately locked Li Yanxiu in Li Yaozong's room.

Hearing Li Yaozong's continuous coughing, Li Yanxiu turned pale with fright and frantically pounded on the door, shouting, "Ji Shi, you poisonous woman, what are you doing? Do you want to kill me?"

Ji Wanying said through the door, "What, do you mean I want to kill you? Don't you respect your older brother the most? Now that your older brother is sick, shouldn't you take good care of him?"

Li Yanxiu shouted, "Let me out, you poisonous woman—you harmed my elder brother, and now you want to harm me too. You just want to embezzle our Li family's property."

Ji Wanying ignored her shouting and commotion, and deliberately said, "Wanying, please take care of your older brother. He's your own brother! I also have to serve my in-laws. I'm really too busy. Please understand me!"

After saying that, he ignored Li Yanxiu's shouting and left the Li family.

Li Yanxiu kept banging on the door until she got tired and stopped.

For the past two days, Li Yaozong has not only been unable to get out of bed, but has also started coughing up blood. Li's parents are worried that he will get cold, so they keep the door tightly closed, and there is a putrid smell of rotting flesh in the room.

The stench in the air filled Li Yanxiu with increasing fear. She covered her nose tightly with her sleeve and kept her distance from Li Yaozong.

But the room was only so big, how could she possibly avoid it? Li Yaozong continued coughing.

His cough sounded like a death knell to Li Yanxiu. She couldn't take it anymore and yelled, "Stop coughing! If you want to die, then die! Why are you hurting our family? Your parents are already bedridden because of you, are you going to kill me too?"

Hearing his sister's curses, Li Yaozong felt a chill run through him. Was this really the sister he loved most?

She doesn't care about herself; instead, she curses herself to die.

On the contrary, Ji Wanying, whom he had not treated well, took care of him wholeheartedly when he was sick.

Thinking about how he had been infatuated with her stepsister and hurt her so much, a sudden pang of regret rose in his heart.

Ji Wanying thought about it for several days and finally remembered something from her childhood. After thinking it over, she felt that only by doing this could she move Ji Yunshuang. After leaving the Li family, she went to the city to find the An family.

An and Ji Mingshan ultimately decided to stay in Jiangzhou.

Since they planned to stay in Jiangzhou, the two moved out of the inn and rented a house in Jiangzhou.

Ji Wanying went to the inn only to find it empty, but fortunately, An had given the innkeeper their new address, so that Ji Wanying could look for them at the new address when she went to the city.

Following the address given by the innkeeper, Ji Wanying found the An family.

Ji Mingshan didn't go out that day. When he saw Ji Wanying's appearance, his face immediately fell. He said, "What happened to your face? Why are you wearing a face mask?"

Ji Wanying said, "I heard that things are chaotic in the city lately, and I was afraid that I, a woman, would get into trouble by showing my face in public, so I covered my face."

Upon hearing this, Ji Mingshan's displeasure vanished, replaced by an expression of appreciation. He said, "That's right. You've been sensible since you were little, unlike your troublesome older sister who always makes me angry."

Normally, Ji Wanying would have loved to hear her father scold Ji Yunshuang with disdain, but now she was terrified. She quickly flattered Ji Mingshan and found an excuse to go see Madam An.

However, An was not as easily fooled as Ji Mingshan. Upon seeing Ji Wanying's appearance, she showed a look of shock and anger.

Granny Li was also extremely nervous, not understanding why Ji Wanying had come so suddenly without giving any notice.

She rushed forward, her face filled with alarm, and asked, "Second Miss, what's wrong? Has something happened?"

Madam An also said, "Wanying, what do you think? Don't scare me."

Ji Wanying cried, "Mother, it's all Li Yaozong's fault. After he found out that I had slashed my stepsister's face with a knife, he found a dagger and slashed my face too."

"You bastard!" Madam An slammed her hand on the table in anger. "I'm going to kill him! How dare he treat my daughter like this!"

Ji Wanying hurriedly said, "Mother, don't be angry. I have already avenged myself. I secretly fed him poison. He won't live much longer."

Upon hearing this, Madam An showed no joy whatsoever. She cried out, "My son, you and he have no children, and now you're disfigured. What will you rely on in the future?"

After much comforting, Ji Wanying finally said, "Mother, could you give me the jade pendant that my stepsister's mother left her?"

Madam An frowned instantly. "Wanying, are you lying to me about something?"

She had no doubts about what Ji Wanying had said earlier. After all, she had raised her own daughter, and she knew her personality well.

If her daughter had suffered a loss at Ji Yunshuang's hands, she would never have acted this way. But the fact that her daughter suddenly asked her for that vile woman's belongings made her suspicious.
