Reborn to be without his father but with his son, the prince shouted, "I'm not dead!"

Chapter 10 Everyone has their own agenda
His adopted daughter would change into new clothes every now and then, while his biological daughter, who was wandering outside, would wear the same clothes for two or three years.

"No! You have to make more than a dozen new clothes. You are my daughter, so you must have the best."

Ji Anyu suddenly looked up, his eyes red, and said with emotion.

"Thank you, Daddy. It's great to have you."

Ji Xiuxu smiled knowingly and stroked his daughter's head lovingly.

The cozy scene makes people feel warm, but Wei Luoyan speaks at an inappropriate time, breaking the warm atmosphere.

"It's really unexpected that it's so shabby." Wei Luoyan was surprised. He didn't expect that Ji Anyu's past life was miserable.

No wonder after returning to the Duke's Mansion, he opposed Ji Yunchu everywhere and always wanted to steal Ji Yunchu's things.

Ji Xiuxu pursed his lips in displeasure.

The brat has no tact and is really an eyesore standing here.

Wei Luoyan's eyes were full of calculations. He seemed to be a playboy and scheming, which Ji Xiuxu subconsciously disliked.

He moved his feet and used his body to block Ji Anyu, not wanting Wei Luoyan to look at Ji Anyu.

The other party clearly showed his hostility, and it was difficult for Wei Luoyan to ignore it.

He was not thinking about Ji Anyu, but Ji Anyu might be thinking about him at this moment.

In the previous life, she pestered him and insisted on entering the gate of Nanhou Mansion.

He still hasn't forgotten that he was forced to marry Ji Anyu!

When Ji Anyu plotted against him, the Nanhou Mansion lost all face.

Fortunately, Ji Yunchu advised him to use his love to encourage Ji Anyu to charge into battle.

All the rumors were focused on Ji Anyu, which saved some face for the Nanhou Mansion.

Ji Anyu occupied the position of his legal wife, and after her death, rumors spread that he had a hard life and was unlucky in marriage.

No daughter of an aristocratic family dared to marry him, which made him very angry.

What’s even more infuriating is that lunatic Shen Jing somehow figured out that the child born to Ji Anyu was his own flesh and blood.

For Shen Jing, who will not live for many more years, children are particularly important.

But the child was thrown to death as soon as he was born.

Shen Jing then wantonly slandered Wei Luoyan's reputation and targeted Nanhou Mansion.

When the incident was brought to the emperor, the emperor said that it was understandable that Shen Jing was venting his anger for his dead child.

Shen Jing was a dying man, and even the emperor gave him some leniency.

Wei Luoyan had no way to deal with Shen Jing and could only suppress his anger.

As a result, his official position was demoted again and again until he had no official position at all, and finally his title of Nanhoufu was stripped by the emperor.

The famous and prominent family fell into decline just like that.

Facing the scolding from his clansmen, Wei Luoyan felt very aggrieved. He just married a wife, but ended up with his family broken up.

He obviously didn't do anything.

Wei Luoyan thought that he had talent since childhood and was a child prodigy recognized by everyone. Countless people wanted to marry him, but the only wife Wei Luoyan recognized was Ji Yunchu. Unfortunately, Ji Yunchu had already been designated as the Crown Princess by the Queen.

Unexpectedly, Ji Anyu showed up and plotted against him. Wei Luoyan was furious and overwhelmed. He thought that not being able to marry the wife he personally selected was just like his talent not meeting a wise master.

On the eve of the wedding, he learned from Ji Yunchu that Ji Anyu and Shen Jing were having an affair.

Shen Jing has an internal organ disease, so Ji Anyu will naturally have one too.

Wei Luoyan was afraid that he would also get a dirty disease, so he never touched Ji Anyu after getting married. In order to disgust Ji Anyu, Wei Luoyan deliberately took Ji Anyu's cousin Ji Qinqin as his concubine.

It was his mother who made things difficult for and tortured Ji Anyu, it was his sister and his concubine Ji Qinqin who threw the child to death, and it was Ji Yunchu and the fool's family who set fire to Ji Anyu.

He just watched from the side and did not participate, so what was wrong with him?
Moreover, Ji Anyu later became pregnant with Shen Jing's child, so he did not put Ji Anyu in a pig cage, which was considered to be his utmost kindness! Who could have thought that after Ji Anyu passed away, Shen Jing would come to trick him.

Although his family was in decline, his character remained unchanged and he had extremely high standards, thinking that not everyone could be his legal wife.

The daughter of a legitimate wife of high status looked down on him, and he was unwilling to lower his head and marry a girl of low status.

Seeing that his beloved Ji Yunchu became the Crown Princess, he enjoyed great glory.

Wei Luoyan was depressed and passed away three years later without ever finding a legitimate wife.

Now that he was reborn, every time Wei Luoyan thought of the past, he felt like there was a huge stone pressing down on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe. He didn't want to die in cowardice again.

Wei Luoyan stared at Ji Xiuxu, trying to get through him and tear Ji Anyu into pieces. He would never let Ji Anyu return to Beijing safely.

What happened in the previous life cannot happen again! Ji Anyu had no choice but to die.

Now is the best time to kill Ji Anyu. The journey to the capital is long, and it is not uncommon to encounter robbers who want to rob you and kill you.

"I spoke out of turn just now. Are you two going to the capital? It just so happens that I am also going to the capital. Why don't we go together? We can help each other if we encounter any problems on the way." Wei Luoyan forced a smile.

Ji Xiuxu immediately became alert and swept his sharp eyes across Wei Luoyan's face.

"Why do you know we are going to the capital?"

Wei Luoyan had not expected that the Duke, who was always easy to talk to, would doubt and question him. He was stunned for a moment and spoke unnaturally.

"I heard your accent sounds like the accent of Beijing, so I suggested that we go to Beijing together."

Seeing that Ji Xiuxu was deep in thought and still on guard against him.

Wei Luoyan had no choice but to tell everything.

"To be honest, I am Wei Luoyan, the legitimate son of the Nanhou Mansion. My mother's birthday is next month, and I want to find some rare treasures for her as a birthday gift. I just happened to pass by here."

"So you are the son of Nan Hou. I was wondering if you looked familiar. Your features resemble those of Nan Hou."

Ji Xiuxu let down his guard, and after hearing that Wei Luoyan had taken the trouble to celebrate his mother's birthday, his opinion of Wei Luoyan improved slightly.

He is a filial son.

He said with a gentle expression, "Since you are also returning to the capital, let's go together. My name is Ji Xiuxu, and the girl you are talking to is my daughter."

"Oh, so you are the Duke. My apologies." Wei Luoyan bowed and pretended to have just learned of their identities.

Ji Xiuxu smiled and nodded with satisfaction. This boy is quite polite.

His gaze shifted to the hairpin on Ji Anyu's head, and he remembered that the quarrel between Ji Anyu and Wei Luoyan was because of the hairpin.

"Master Wei, do you want to give this hairpin to your mother?"

Wei Luoyan glanced at the hairpin, then looked away guiltily.

"Well, it's a pity that Miss Ji took a fancy to it." He had originally planned to buy it and find an opportunity to give it to Ji Yunchu.

Ji Xiuxu stroked the beard on his chin and half-closed his eyes thoughtfully.

Wei Luoyan would become an official in the imperial court sooner or later, so there was no need for him to make enemies because of a hairpin.

It would be better to return the daughter to Wei Luoyan as a favor to the Nanhou Mansion.

Ji Anyu took in Wei Luoyan's guilty look, and at the same time saw what Ji Xiuxu was thinking.

She took off her hairpin and waved it in her hand.

"Master Wei, you men don't understand women's minds. This hairpin is not suitable for the old lady at all. Old women don't like things that are too beautiful."

Ji Anyu smiled innocently.

"If you want me to choose, I'd give her a hairpin that looks dignified and elegant."

Ji Anyu lowered her head to glance at the headdresses on the table and picked up a crudely made wooden hairpin.
