The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

"Someone, send someone to invite Prince Fang!" Yu Tonghai said, but in his heart he was thinking about how to extricate himself from these two powerful figures.

Upon receiving the order, the subordinate rushed off to the Marquis of Xinyang's residence!

The Marquis of Xinyang's Residence.

"My little beauty, if you just obediently submit to me, all the delicacies and riches will be yours!"

Fang Xianda's laughter was lewd, his mind filled with obscene words, and he was about to pounce on Ye Yifan.

Ye Yifan felt both fear and disgust, but then she remembered Jing Anle's words and tried to make herself appear more assertive.

Just as Fang Xianda was about to touch Ye Yifan, she grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, yelling, "You bully who relies on his power, I'll fight you to the death!"

To everyone's surprise, Fang Xianda was not angry at all, but even more excited. He grabbed the pillow and pulled it into his arms, saying, "Good, I like a spirited young lady!"

Ye Yifan could only dodge to the side, cursing under her breath, "My brother will come to save me soon, you bastard! You heartless villain!"

The two continued this chase for about half an hour until Fang Xianda lost his patience and threatened, "You ungrateful wretch, it's your good fortune that you've been noticed by me, you old hag, don't push your luck!"

Ye Yifan knew it was almost time, so she quietly bit the pill she had hidden in her mouth. For her and her brother's future, she was determined to do it.

The pill would take effect soon, and Ye Yifan knew she couldn't afford to delay, so she deliberately slowed down. Sure enough, Fang Xianda grabbed her and said, "Hahaha, I caught you! As long as you behave, I'll definitely treat you well..."

Before he could finish speaking, a loud "slap" was heard. Fang Xianda covered his left cheek in disbelief, instantly enraged, "Damn it! You bitch, how dare you hit me!"

"I'm going to beat you up, you bastard!" Ye Yifan spat at Fang Xianda after saying that.

Fang Xianda instantly flew into a rage. He had been spoiled rotten since childhood and had never been treated like this before. Fang Xianda grabbed Ye Yifan by the neck and said, "I'll teach you to curse! I'll teach you to curse!"

He tightened his grip, and Ye Yifan's slender neck quickly turned red. She felt like she couldn't breathe, and with difficulty, she managed to utter the words, "Bastard..." before falling silent.

Fang Xianda only let go when he saw that Ye Yifan was no longer struggling or resisting. Ye Yifan's body went limp and collapsed. Fang Xianda swallowed hard in fear and checked Ye Yifan's breath with trembling hands. There was no sign of life. "Ah? How could this happen!" He turned and ran towards the door. He had just opened the door when he bumped into the servant who came to report the news.

Startled by the sudden appearance of the servant, Fang Xianda took a step back, almost falling to the ground, and blurted out, "Have your eyes been eaten by a dog?"

The servant quickly went to help Fang Xianda, not noticing Ye Yifan lying on the bed behind him.

"Your Highness, someone from the Jingzhao Prefecture has arrived! They wish to invite you to come over," the servant said.

"What did you say?" Fang Xianda, who had just regained his footing, almost fell over again.

"I heard from the messenger that Inspector Li Congli is also there!" the servant added.

This shocked Fang Xianda. Although his family usually turned a blind eye to his eating, drinking, and having fun, now that someone had died, this matter would probably not be let off easily.

Most importantly, although Fang Xianda was spoiled by the rest of his family, he was genuinely afraid of his father. No, no, no, his father absolutely must not find out about this.

"Go and find me a few people!" Fang Xianda said.

The servant, puzzled, asked, "What about the people from the Jingzhao Prefecture?"

"Go if I tell you to! Just tell those servants that I'm busy!" Fang Xianda said, kicking the servant.

Looking back at the woman lying on the bed, he felt extremely annoyed and cursed, "Damn it!"

Yongfu Palace.

"Mu Ping, how are the preparations for that matter going?" Jing Anle asked while copying Emperor Jing's painting of orchids in spring.

Mu Ping replied, "Princess, please rest assured, everything has been arranged."

"That's good! What do you think of my orchid painting?" Jing Anle asked, taking the handkerchief handed to her by Afang and wiping her hands.

Mu Ping said, "The princess has made rapid progress and already looks six or seven parts like her."

Jing Anle smiled but didn't say anything, thinking that seven or eight points was enough.

……

The Court of Judicial Review of the Capital Prefecture.

"My lord..." one of his men stammered, unable to get a straight answer.

Li could tell at a glance that his two subordinates hadn't brought anyone with them, but he didn't say anything.

Immediately afterwards, another subordinate came over with two civilians. "Sir, the witness has been brought."

Yu Tonghai glanced at the two witnesses, a man and a woman, both dressed simply and clearly ordinary people, and felt a great deal of disdain for them.

Yu Tonghai glanced at his subordinates and scolded, "What are you stammering about? Where are they?"

The subordinate looked up at Yu Tonghai and said, "Reporting to my lord, the servants of the Marquis of Xinyang's residence said that Young Master Fang... he is unavailable."

"Outrageous!" Yu Tonghai said this, but he was secretly overjoyed. This way, he wouldn't be caught in the middle and put in an awkward position. Li Cong couldn't very well go to the Marquis of Xinyang's residence himself, could he?

Kneeling below, Ye Zhaoping was also worried about Ye Yifan's safety and cried out, "My lord, Fang Xianda must be guilty of something and dare not come out to see the officials. Please, my lord, do justice for this humble subject!"

"Silence!" Yu Tonghai banged the gavel several times. "You are not allowed to make a sound unless I ask you."

Yu Tonghai turned to look at Li Cong beside him and asked ingratiatingly, "Lord Li, what do you think..." He meant that he wanted Li Cong to leave sensibly, since he hadn't seen anyone yet, so he could quickly go to Marquis Xinyang to discuss countermeasures.

Li Cong's voice was deep and imposing. "What? Lord Yu can't even judge a case? Since Lord Yu can't find anyone, how can I stand idly by? I'll go with you to the Marquis of Xinyang's residence to invite that young master Fang." With that, he stood up.

"Ah? This...this might take up Lord Li's time." Yu Tonghai hadn't expected Li Cong to be so stubborn, and for a moment, the smile on his face was even more unpleasant than a cry.

Li Congke didn't care about all that. "Lord Yu, please don't refuse. The Marquis of Xinyang's mansion will always give me face." After saying that, he turned to walk out the door.

"Lord Li, please wait!" Yu Tonghai said, quickly stepping down and respectfully saying, "Adjudicating cases is my duty, how could I trouble Lord Li? I will personally go to the Marquis of Xinyang's residence to invite someone!"

Yu Tonghai was afraid that if he went with Li Cong, the Marquis of Xinyang would think that he had found an accomplice. He feared that before he could even speak, Li Cong would be resented, and no matter how the case was judged, his career would be over.

Looking at Yu Tonghai's face, Li Cong knew that he wouldn't really handle the matter impartially, but he still agreed, saying, "Since that's the case, then I won't say anything more."
