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

Chapter 46 The man was wearing a fox mask, but she could still tell at a glance that he was the wild man that Ji Anyu had a secret meeting with!

The queen and her female relatives rushed over and heard that the person who committed suicide by jumping into the water was having a secret meeting with a wild man. They all stood on the shore and watched indifferently as the girl struggled violently in the water.

No one suggested going into the water to save people.

Cao Lingru felt that the girl in the water looked familiar. She took a closer look and found that it was Ji Yunchu, the girl she kept by her side.

She knelt down before the queen in panic.

"Your Majesty, please save my daughter."

Kong Wanhan was surprised and immediately asked people to go into the water to rescue him.

"Madam, the Duke, which daughter is she of yours?" Some busybodies, who were only afraid of the world being in turmoil, spoke with gloating attitude.

Cao Lingru whispered, "No matter which one she is...she is my daughter."

Kong Wanhan's expression turned cold. Seeing the timid look on the Duke's wife's face, it was obvious that the person who committed suicide by jumping into the water was Ji Yunchu.

Her son is the crown prince, but Ji Yunchu is not satisfied and does such an immoral thing!

"Except for those who are staying at the Duke's Mansion, all other female members should return to the palace banquet. If anyone dares to spread the news of tonight's events, I will kill her!"

Everyone fell silent and left obediently.

As the huge crowd dispersed, Cao Lingru saw the thin body of Ji Anyu at a glance, and secretly hated why the person who fell into the water was not Ji Anyu.

The queen also saw Ji Anyu, and then she remembered that Ji Anyu was already there when she arrived.

"Ji Anyu, can you tell me what happened?"

"Your Highness, I had a bloated stomach and was walking here when I saw a girl in the water arguing with a man. I saw her and she jumped into the water out of shame. I was afraid she would drown, so I called for help to save her."

"So it was you who shouted that." Cao Lingru was so angry that she felt dizzy.

"That's right." Ji Anyu glanced at Ji Yunchu who was rescued to the shore.

"Luckily I shouted in time, otherwise the girl would still be in the water."

"Evil creature! Do you know who she is? You are destroying her by shouting like that!"

Cao Lingru was so heartbroken that she wanted to slap Ji Anyu twice.

"Ah?" Ji Anyu looked confused. She took a few steps forward and looked at the person.

He was horrified and said, "This... this is actually my sister! It was too dark, I couldn't see her clearly, but I'm telling the truth, my sister was indeed having an affair with a wild man."

But he was not by the lake, but in the room with Wei Luoyan.

"You're talking nonsense! You must have seen it wrong." Seeing that the queen's face was getting colder and colder, Cao Lingru shouted in panic.

Ji Anyu nodded repeatedly, "Mother is right, maybe I saw it wrong."

This statement makes the matter even more obvious.

Cao Lingru felt as if a mouthful of old blood was choking in her throat. She turned her head and saw Ji Yunchu spitting out water.

"Yunchu, tell the queen that you are not having a secret meeting with a man outside your family."

Ji Yunchu was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears.

"Mom, Ji Anyu secretly met with a strange man, she refused to admit it and pushed me into it."

"Sister, don't say such nonsense. It was you who did something wrong, but you put the blame on me."

Ji Yunchu coughed violently in anxiety.

"Wei Yanyue! She can testify for me!"

"Hmph, Wei Yanyue's brother has a grudge against me, she will definitely testify for you." Ji Anyu disagreed.

Cao Lingru looked at Kong Wanhan anxiously as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Could the Queen ask Wei Yanyue to come over?"

"Are you calling people over to watch me make fun of myself? Okay, this is all my fault. The one who had a secret meeting with a strange man was definitely not my sister. It was me, okay?" Ji Anyu muttered.

Cao Lingru had a headache, and Ji Anyu might as well shut up.

Ji Yunchu looked up at the queen who was shivering all over and couldn't help shivering.

Ji Anyu has already taken the initiative, and the Queen has a preconceived idea and will definitely not believe what she says.

Suddenly an idea struck me.

"My Queen, I would never meet a wild man in secret, otherwise I would die a miserable death! Just now, I came to the lake and saw an assassin. I tried to grab the assassin, but he pushed me into the water. My sister was standing far away and couldn't see clearly, so she misunderstood me."

Kong Wanhan looked at her coldly.

"Then why didn't you say it was an assassin earlier, but instead said your sister was having a secret meeting with a wild man?"

"I... I heard my sister say that I was secretly meeting a strange man, and I was angry at the time, so I slandered my sister." Ji Yunchu covered her slightly aching chest. Kong Wanhan looked disappointed.

"Do you know that your slander may bring your sister into eternal damnation?"

"She is also slandering me, I..." Ji Yunchu's face turned pale and she suddenly didn't know how to continue.

"Sister, I told you that I was too far away to see clearly, and I didn't know the person you were fighting with was an assassin." Ji Anyu looked aggrieved.

"Shut up!" Cao Lingru shouted angrily, looking at Ji Yunchu's pale face with heartache.

Ji Yunchu felt like there was something stuck in her throat. She was tricked by the bitch, but she had no evidence.

"Madam Mei, send someone to escort them out of the palace." Kong Wanhan had been immersed in the harem for many years, so she naturally saw that the two legitimate daughters of the Duke's Mansion were fighting in secret.

She didn't mind Ji Yunchu's scheming against others, but Ji Yunchu's methods were clumsy and she ended up getting hurt all over by others.

One can't help but wonder whether Ji Yunchu can secure the position of Eastern Palace Concubine. After all, the position of Crown Princess is coveted by not only the Prince's party, but other party members are also eyeing it covetously.

How could she sleep peacefully when the person sleeping next to her son was someone else's spy?
Kong Wanhan glanced at Ji Yunchu with disappointment, then left angrily with a wave of her sleeves.

Ji Chengting, who had returned to the Duke's Mansion early, saw Nanny Mei sending the female relatives back, and he happily went to greet her.

"Madame Mei's personal visit has brought honor to the Duke's mansion." He stuffed two small gold ingots into Madam Mei's hand.

"It's just a small gift, please accept it, Madam Mei."

He looked around carefully and whispered.

"Madam Mei, can you help me ask the Queen if my granddaughter An Yu has a chance to enter the Eastern Palace?"

"I will ask the Queen for you, but I dare not accept this gift today." Aunt Mei smiled with a hint of coldness.

"Your two daughters have been the center of attention in the palace, and have made a lot of people laugh at them. Instead of worrying about the affairs of the East Palace, you should teach them more and stop making a fool of yourself, otherwise the Queen will punish you severely."

Ji Chengting was horrified.

"Please do me a favor and tell me what happened in the palace."

Aunt Mei glanced at him speechlessly.

She didn't want to say it at first, but seeing that the Duke's wife was protecting Ji Yunchu, she might turn the tables and put all the blame on Ji Anyu, so she roughly explained what happened.

After hearing this, Ji Chengting's face turned dark. After sending Nanny Mei away, he asked the housekeeper to open the ancestral hall and call the Duke and his wife and the two maids over.

"Both of you, kneel down! It's fine if you can just make trouble in the mansion behind closed doors, but you actually dared to make trouble in the palace. Is this not a place for you to have such a petty quarrel? Especially you, Ji Yunchu. You have lived in the Duke's Mansion for more than ten years and have been to the palace no less than ten times. How can you not even know such a simple truth?"

"Grandfather, I didn't want to cause trouble. It's all my sister's fault for saying the wrong thing. I had no choice but to..." Ji Yunchu cried breathlessly.

"Sister, how can you blame me for everything? If you had told me from the beginning that it was an assassin, there wouldn't have been so many things." Ji Anyu's eyes also turned red. Who doesn't know how to pretend to cry?
Crying and sobbing, it's so annoying to listen to!
Ji Chengting slammed his hand on the table, "You two are both wrong! Each of you will be spanked ten times, and you will kneel in the ancestral hall tonight and reflect on your mistakes."

"Come and be punished, if you dare to show partiality, I will not let you off!"

How come such an offensive job fell on him?

Daduan was in great pain. He looked at the Duke who was forbearing in silence and the Duchess who was wiping away tears from time to time.

He hardened his heart and hit him with the stick.

The palms quickly turned red and swollen.

Ji Anyu wanted to hold back the pain, but when she heard Ji Yunchu crying loudly, she immediately burst into tears.

The crying voice drowned out Ji Yunchu's voice. Ji Yunchu was stunned for a moment, and then cried even louder with all her might.

She is the one who is most wronged!

Ji Chengting felt a headache as he heard their voices getting louder and louder, so he turned around and left the ancestral hall.

When Ji Xiuxu saw his father leaving, he forcibly pulled Cao Lingru away who wanted to stay with Ji Yunchu.

The door of the ancestral hall was closed, leaving only Ji Anyu and Ji Yunchu.

Seeing that no one was watching the show, Ji Anyu stopped crying and held up her swollen little hands to look at them carefully.

"Why don't you cry anymore?" Ji Yunchu's voice was hoarse, staring at Ji Anyu with hatred in his eyes.

"You don't continue crying. You ask questions even though you know the answer."

"Okay, I knew you did it on purpose. I'll remember what happened today! Give me..."

Ji Yunchu looked at the man behind Ji Anyu with horror.

The man was wearing a fox mask, but she could still tell at a glance that he was the wild man that Ji Anyu had been meeting in secret!

Ji Yunchu shouted excitedly: "I am innocent, mother, the wild man is coming! Someone come..."

Before he could finish his words, Ji Yunchu fainted on the ground.
