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

Chapter 35 A lonely man and a widow
"Poor little thing, your voice is trembling. It seems you are scared." Shen Jing smiled frivolously.

Ji Anyu pushed Shen Jing's arm away, took a step away from him, his eyes filled with anger, and spoke through gritted teeth.

"I was scared, don't you know what's going on?"

"Shh~" Shen Jing pointed into the house.

Ji Anyu turned around and saw Xu Yuyan walking towards them. She immediately became frightened. She quickly thought of an idea and squeaked three times like a mouse.

Seeing Xu Yuyan return to where he was, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly she heard Shen Jing laughing at her. She became angry and grabbed Shen Jing's hand and bit it.

The tingling pain made Shen Jing's meridians and blood flow active.

In the end, he couldn't control the emotions that wanted to burst out, and he couldn't help but lean closer to Ji Anyu's ear.

"Miss, you are very brave, but why did you bite me?" There was a hint of grievance in his tone.

"I just don't want the young lady to be alone in the same room with Xu Yuyan."

Ji Anyu tilted her head to look at Shen Jing, her red lips almost brushing his cheek.

Shen Jing keenly noticed that Ji Anyu took a half step back, and he took a step forward with a smile.

"Miss, you're too far away from me. If we talk in private, the people inside will hear us."

A dark environment amplifies people's emotions.

Ji Anyu thought that he had adjusted his mentality very well, but at this moment he was in an unstable mood and glanced at Xu Yuyan behind the screen with a hint of bitterness.

Then I felt strange emotions, excitement, nervousness, and the pleasure of revenge intertwined together.

As long as he moved the screen away, Xu Yuyan could see how close she and Shen Jing were.

Her mother's plan was completely ruined. If her mother saw her and Shen Jing being intimate in front of Xu Yuyan, would she be embarrassed to the point of being ashamed?
Ji Anyu raised her hand to turn Shen Jing's face, then looked up at him.

Shen Jing's eyes were still bright, like stars in the darkness.

"Ajing, you're right. Apart from Xu Yuyan, there are only two of us here." As he spoke, Ji Anyu took a step forward and got closer to Shen Jing.

The two people's breath instantly entangled together.

Shen Jing's breathing stagnated, he quickly turned his head away, calmed himself and said.

"You know it's wrong, why are you still here?"

"My mother wants me to come here, so I give her face and come to take a look." Ji Anyu said in a relaxed and cheerful tone.

Shen Jing felt as if his throat was blocked by a foreign object, as if a mouthful of old blood was stuck in his throat.

He worried a lot about Ji Anyu and took the trouble to find some good men for Ji Anyu to choose from.

As a result, his own mother made a big fuss about it, wishing that everyone in the mansion would know that Ji Anyu was in the same room with a man.

By then, who would dare to marry Ji Anyu? Probably only him.

Shen Jing was upset and really wanted to kill those people in the palace.

He couldn't let the girl not get married and wait for him all her life. Besides, he didn't know whether his father was dead or alive, and he didn't know how long he could live under their noses.

"Ah Jing, what are you thinking about?"

Ji Anyu stood on tiptoe, held Shen Jing's face with both hands, and put her arms on Shen Jing's shoulders.

Shen Jing watched her little mouth getting closer and closer, the sweetness came to his face, and his heart was beating wildly.

He couldn't help but close his eyes, and was suddenly pushed by a force, forcing him to stagger back and hit the screen.

As Shen Jing fell down along with the screen, Ji Anyu took two steps back.

She quickly lowered her head to straighten her clothes, and laughed demurely.

"Oh, why are you so careless? What if you scare Master Xu?"

Shen Jing sat on the ground, staring at Ji Anyu with no emotion in his eyes.

He sighed secretly that lust blinded his mind and he forgot that the little fox had a strong desire for revenge.

He lost face in front of Xu Yuyan, but somehow he was happy with it. Shen Jing stood up helplessly and looked at Ji Anyu with a squinting gaze.

"I am not afraid of frightening Mr. Xu. I just hope that Miss will not forget to give me benefits. I am easily satisfied. I don't want gold, silver or jewelry, I just want Miss..." He paused suddenly, but it aroused people's endless reverie.

The burning gaze was fixed on Ji Anyu's small mouth.

Just when Ji Anyu was about to lose his temper, Shen Jing smiled happily.

"As long as the lady is happy, the little one will be happy too."

Ji Anyu wanted to step on Shen Jing, and saw Xu Yuyan sizing up Shen Jing out of the corner of his eye.

"Mr. Xu, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. He is my new servant. He has not been trained well and does not know how to serve others."

She was not afraid of Xu Yuyan's suspicion. When she approached Shen Jing just now, she noticed that Shen Jing had changed into the clothes of a servant in the Duke's Mansion. She guessed that Shen Jing strolled around the Duke's Mansion in a swaggering manner.

So he began to think of teaching Shen Jing a lesson, otherwise Shen Jing would treat the Duke's Mansion as his home and visit it whenever he wanted.

"Xiao Shen, what are you standing there for? Go get some hot water and serve tea to the guests!" Ji Anyu raised the corners of his lips proudly.

She was already giving Shen Jing face by not calling him Ergou.

"I won't do it!"

Shen Jing's words were full of knife-like meaning.

"If I leave, only Miss and Mr. Xu will be left here, a man and a woman alone... It will be a disgrace to my Miss's reputation!"

Xu Yuyan's face suddenly changed. He looked around and found that the maid who was there before had disappeared. He bowed and said.

"Second Miss, I'm sorry."

He wondered why the Duke had asked him to meet here, and after waiting for a long time, he did not see the Duke, but instead the Second Miss.

After considering for a while, Xu Yuyan decided to speak out.

"An hour ago, your housekeeper asked me to move in. Not long after I moved into your house, the Duke sent someone to invite me here to discuss the second young lady's studies."

Xu Yuyan vaguely felt that something was wrong, and at the same time realized that the second young lady had a close relationship with the servant in front of him.

"I was inconsiderate and disturbed the Second Miss. I will move out immediately!"

"Mr. Xu is in such a hurry to move out, is it because he thinks our Duke's Mansion didn't entertain him well enough?"

Cao Lingru brought Ji Yunchu into the house, followed by eight maids.

Ji Anyu walked in front of Shen Jing, blocking the candlelight from shining on Shen Jing's face. Shen Jing quickly lowered his head.

"Mother, it is indeed our fault for not entertaining him well. If I hadn't come to see him, Master Xu wouldn't even have anyone to talk to. How does mother usually manage her servants? She actually neglected Master Xu so much that she didn't even give him a sip of tea."

Cao Lingru glanced at Ji Anyu unhappily, then leaned over Ji Anyu's shoulder to look at the servant.

What a foolish thing standing here! It ruined her plan.

"Master Xu, I am sorry to have made you laugh. It's all my fault that I indulged my servants too much and treated you lightly. I will punish them to atone for your sins. You stay here peacefully and don't delay the imperial examination."

"I am flattered that Madam treats me this way, but I will not be able to sleep or eat well if Madam punishes them because of me." Xu Yuyan bowed again.

Seeing that Xu Yuyan was sensible, Cao Lingru nodded with satisfaction.

The servants left at her instruction, so she couldn't really punish them.

"The Duke is busy, so I came here to tell you. I don't know when he will finish his work, so don't wait for him. I heard that you get up early in the morning to review your lessons, so you should go back to your room and rest early."

"Thank you, ma'am, for your consideration."

When Ji Anyu mercilessly complained about Cao Lingru's incompetent housekeeping in public, Xu Yuyan realized that the mother and daughter were not getting along.

As an outsider, he should leave here quickly to avoid being involved in the Duke's Mansion's family affairs.

When Ji Anyu saw that Cao Lingru was about to lecture her, she glanced at Shen Jing behind her.

"Xiao Shen, the eaves of Chaoyang Courtyard seem to be broken. Come with me to take a look."

"Wait!" Cao Lingru looked at Shen Jing fiercely.
