Chapter 77 Beware of Fraud
It was different from when he was in the Xie family, and also different from his previous life. When did Rong Peilan speak so harshly?

Xie Shuning's eyelids twitched slightly, "Do you really think that just because you entered the Marquis' Mansion and married the prince, you really think you are a noble person who is high above everyone else?"

Rong Peilan raised her eyes and glanced at her gently, "What if?"

Xie Shuning snorted coldly, "The Ji family is doomed to die. Let's see how long you can be so proud."

Rong Peilan frowned and looked Xie Shuning up and down. "My uncle once told my cousin to be gentle and honest, but I'm afraid my cousin has long forgotten it."

"What does the Marquis' Mansion look like, and what does it have to do with my cousin? What kind of person is my cousin to predict the future of the Marquis' Mansion?"

As she spoke, she climbed onto the carriage, stood on the shaft, and looked down at Xie Shuning.

"My sister has already said that you should go see a doctor. You must not be afraid to seek medical attention. If you delay the treatment, it will be bad."

Having said that, she no longer paid attention to Xie Shuning, bent down and got into the car.

Xie Shuning was so angry that the flesh on his face twitched and he almost bit his teeth off.

It felt like there was a breath stuck in my chest that couldn't go up or down.

Seeing that the carriage was about to leave, she suddenly shouted at the window, "Don't be complacent, when Marquis Ji dies in battle, your days will be over!"

A moment later, the window was pushed open, and Rong Peilan's cold face appeared.

"What did you say."

Xie Shuning was shocked to realize what he had said only after he had finished speaking.

But on second thought, according to the trajectory of the previous life, Ji Hou resigned his military power and stayed at home, and then the Western Jin Dynasty pretended to attack, and Liu Qirui wrote a letter to ask Ji Hou to fight, but it was just to vent Ji Hou's anger at not using him in the past.

Marquis Ji fell into a trap and died, and from then on the Xinling Marquisate fell into decline.

This life is just following the development of the previous life, this is the destined trajectory.

Thinking of this, she raised the corners of her lips again, "My Lord, you can sacrifice your life on the battlefield for your country. This is the supreme honor for a general..."

"Chen Chun, hit her in the mouth."

Rong Peilan's face became darker and darker, and he coldly ordered Chen Chun, who had not yet gotten into the car.

Chen Chun is very strong, especially after learning martial arts from Wei Chi, two or three ordinary men cannot do anything to her.

Xie Shuning's face changed drastically. She had never thought that Rong Peilan would dare to order his servants to beat her in the street. "Let's see who dares..."

She took two steps back before she finished her words.

Chen Chun slapped her in the face, causing her to flip over and fall to the ground.

No one knew where the tassel hairpin that made her so proud had gone.

"Dare to hit me?!"

Xie Shuning raised her head again, with a sinister light in her eyes. One side of her face was swollen and blood was oozing from the corner of her mouth.

Rong Peilan sat in the car, looking at her coldly.

"Hit you? When you get home, remember to ask Lord Kang what disaster your words may bring to the Kang family."

"If cousin doesn't learn to speak again, next time it won't be a slap."

"Chen Chun, let's go."

Chen Chun jumped onto the carriage and drove away, almost running over Xie Shuning who was lying on the ground.

Xie Shuning was so scared that he crawled two steps to the side and barely avoided it.

Her carefully made-up dress was ruined, her hair was loose, and the hairpin given to her by the imperial concubine had fallen off.

Even his face was swollen as high as a steamed bun.

She looked at the carriage going away, her long nails digging deeply into the ground.

His eyes were red, as if filled with venom.

"Rong Peilan, after two lifetimes, you still want to step on my head."

Because it had snowed, the carriage moved very slowly.

Rong Peilan's brows never relaxed.

These days, she has seen a lot of good things with Zhong. The gilded tassel hairpin on Xie Shuning's head is obviously made by the Third Crafts Department of the Palace. It has only been two months since Kang Jintang was promoted to the fourth rank, which is unprecedented.

What did Xie Shuning mean by that? The tiger talisman is no longer in my father-in-law's hands. Are they setting a trap to kill my father-in-law?

She twisted the handkerchief into a ball with her fingers, thinking about what Yue Yunzhang had said to her last time.

"Treason, death in battle, sacrifice for the country—"

Her eyes widened instantly, "Western Jin feinted and Liu retreated. Father-in-law asked for permission, and he must have fallen into a trap!"

She immediately patted the car wall, "Chen Chun, hurry up!"

Just as Rong Peilan hurried back to the mansion, Eunuch Cao arrived.

She suddenly realized that Ji Yunzhang was pulling her down to her knees.

She couldn't hear clearly what Eunuch Cao said, she only knew that Liu Qirui was losing step by step and had lost two cities in a row!
I didn’t expect it to happen so soon. It’s only been over a month since the tiger talisman was handed over.

It is impossible that Liu Qirui's 200,000 Northwest Army could not last more than a month. Even if he was a pig, with 200,000 soldiers under his command, it would be more than enough for him to resist for three months with his physical body.

"My lord, accept the order."

Eunuch Cao took out a brush from his arms and handed it to Ji Zhenming.

"My Lord, this was made by you when you were a student with His Majesty in your youth."

The simplest bamboo pen body has been worn out.

"This brush has always been replaced by me personally. Your Majesty has used it for so many years, and I have replaced it countless times."

Ji Zhenming held the pen and rubbed the pen body twice with his thumb.

He put the pen in his arms and said, "Please go back and tell His Majesty that Zhenming will definitely fulfill his mission."

Eunuch Cao nodded and glanced at the Ji family members behind him.

"My Lord, please say goodbye to your wife. I will wait for you outside the city in an hour."

After Eunuch Cao left, Mrs. Zhong could no longer hold back her tears.

"You bastard, you've been here for so many years, and you're leaving again after just over a month!"

"You've sold your life for a lifetime. I finally managed to keep you alive and now you're leaving again."

"You are already old, do you really have to go? There are so many generals in the court, do you have to go?"

Ji Zhenming held Zhong in his arms and said in a low voice, "Yuefang, you have worked hard to marry me in this life."

"The Northwest Army is my father's hard work and my promise to the late emperor."

Zhong couldn't help but raise his fist and hit him, "What about my promise? What about mine?"

Ji Zhenming was cruel and gently pushed Zhong away. He raised his hand and touched Ji Yunzhang's head as if he was touching a child.

"Son, forgive your father."

Ji Yunzhang bit his lip. He wanted to nod, but finally turned his head away.

Rong Peilan looked at her father-in-law's slightly red eyes, and tightened her hand holding the handkerchief again and again, and finally could only remind him softly.

"Beware of fraud."

The father-in-law looked at his daughter-in-law, and after a moment, he nodded gently, "I will leave Qiu Rui at home to protect your safety."

Ji Yunji took a step forward and shook his head, "No, I will protect them in the capital."

Rong Peilan also shook his head, "Father, with the Northwest Army's posture, it is impossible for them to be defeated so steadily. There must be many traps when you go there this time."

"Qiu Rui can only follow you and protect you!"

Mrs. Zhong had wiped away her tears and took two steps forward. "I know you are worried about us. The shop has been closed. We have everything we need in the mansion. I will wait for you to come back with peace of mind."

Ji Zhenming looked at the old and young in the family, and finally took them deeply in his eyes.

Finally, he decisively mounted his horse and rode away.
