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

Chapter 54 This marriage cannot be agreed to, the tutor's son is ill

Xu Yuyan felt sad when he saw that the two maids were able to sit at the table to eat.

Wei Luoyan kept saying that he didn't mind his low status, but in fact he looked down on him.

"Since Master Wei is ready to eat, I will not delay you. Bye."

He turned around and walked away, slowing down his pace. When he reached the door, he didn't hear Wei Luoyan calling him, and his heart felt a little blocked.

Wei Luoyan was the first friend he made when he came to Beijing. He could still vividly remember the scenes of them studying together, but he never expected that they would become friends one day.

"Master Wei, your brother Xu left, and you're not going to chase him?"

Ji Anyu was gnawing on a pig's trotter while watching the show. She thought Wei Luoyan would put on a show to keep Xu Yuyan, but it seemed that Wei Luoyan really gave up on this chess piece.

"Shut your mouth!" Wei Luoyan gritted his teeth.

Xu Yuyan is not as important as Ji Yunchu. What’s more rare is that he has the opportunity to have dinner with Ji Yunchu today, and he can’t miss it.

Ji Anyu looked at the wild mandarin ducks in front of him and couldn't help but jokingly mock them.

"Master Wei, how could you pick up food for my sister? Someone who doesn't know would think you are an old couple."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Luoyan's hands trembled.

"Sister, be careful with your words!" Ji Yunchu dodged Wei Luoyan's chopsticks while holding the bowl, and looked around anxiously.

"I just want to remind you, sister. You are the future Crown Princess and should keep your distance from men outside your family." Ji Anyu said with a smile.

She was "worried to death" about Ji Yunchu's secure seat on the throne of Crown Princess.

Wei Luoyan couldn't marry Ji Yunchu, and the more he thought about her, the more concerned he became, and naturally he hated the prince even more.

She just wanted Wei Luoyan and the prince to fight to the death, that would be interesting.

Ji Yunchu ate this meal very cautiously.

"I don't want to eat anymore!" She angrily threw her chopsticks on the table and stood up to go back to the Duke's Mansion.

"Let's go too."

Ji Anyu stretched, took Huifu and Hanyan away, leaving Wei Luoyan alone. Wei Luoyan also had no appetite, so he got up and left after a while.

……

There was silence in the Duke's Mansion. The servants worked quietly and even the Duke and his wife didn't dare to breathe.

"An Yu is back?" Ji Chengting said in a cold tone.

The butler lowered his head tremblingly, "Just got back."

"Call her over here!"

As soon as Ji Anyu stepped into the lobby, he felt that the atmosphere was not right.

"Anyu, what did you say to the prince?"

"Nothing." Ji Anyu thought for a moment and answered truthfully.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard Wei Luoyan say that my father and mother wanted to marry me to Xu Yuyan, and then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left Jinghua Tower in anger."

Ji Chengting was so angry that his long beard blew up.

"The Nanhou Mansion is determined to make things difficult for us. It makes me so mad!" When he woke up, the sky had changed.

The Queen asked Aunt Mei to tell Ji Anyu that it would be impossible for her to enter the Eastern Palace again.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Dad, take care of yourself." Ji Xiuxu said with concern.

"Yes." Cao Lingru nodded in agreement and asked someone to serve tea to the old Duke.

Seeing that the Duke and his wife were even angrier, Ji Chengting grabbed the teacup and threw it to the ground.

"Look at what you have done!"

If they had not agreed to let Xu Yuyan enter the mansion on their own initiative, the Nanhou Mansion would not have been able to seize the opportunity to make him fail.

The Duke and his wife were both silent as they had never expected Wei Luoyan to tell the Crown Prince about this.

The Nanhou Mansion and the Guogong Mansion are in the same boat, and Wei Luoyan's behavior is really not decent.

"From now on, Wei Luoyan is like a dog and is not allowed to enter the Duke's Mansion. I will beat him every time I see him!"

If Ji Chengting hadn't fainted right after he finished speaking, Ji Anyu would have laughed out loud, but she had to hold it back.

Cao Lingru quickly shouted, "Go get the doctor!"

"Why call a doctor? Dad is in this condition, let's call the imperial physician!" Ji Xiuxu carried Ji Chengting back to the bedroom without saying a word.

Cao Lingru's eyes flickered when she saw Ji Anyu following behind her. "Anyu, you're tired today too. Go back to Chaoyang Courtyard and rest. Your father and I are with your grandfather."

Ji Anyu did not miss the guilty look on Cao Lingru's face and was secretly surprised that Cao Lingru was actually involved.

Cao Lingru saw Ji Anyu staring at her motionlessly, as if refusing to return to Chaoyang Courtyard, and said in a firm tone.

"Anyu, be obedient! There's no point in you going with me. Instead, you'll hinder the imperial physician from treating your grandfather. Your grandfather has been overworked over your marriage and is now ill. Your marriage has fallen into my hands, so you have to be good. After all, I'm the one who manages this family."

Ji Anyu sneered, "Then mother, please take good care of it and don't make any more trouble."

Without waiting for Cao Lingru to lose his temper, Ji Anyu turned around and left.

Qiao Xin paced back and forth in the yard anxiously. When she saw Ji Anyu coming back, she quickly ordered people to close the gate.

"Miss, there's poison in there! The poison is called Manxiqu. If you eat too much, you'll die."

"Well, we have to be careful with everything we eat and use in our hospital." Ji Anyu reminded after drinking a glass of water.

"Miss, is the master okay?"

Ji Anyu knew what was going on and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Grandfather doesn't eat much now."

They will not poison Ji Chengting to death now, they will just make Ji Chengting unconscious.

If Ji Chengting died, Ji Yunchu would have to observe mourning and would not be able to marry. The Queen would definitely choose a new Crown Princess.

"Send someone to keep an eye on Meihuayuan, and also send someone to keep an eye on mother's place."

Qiao Xin was horrified. She didn't expect that the Duke's wife also had a copy.

At this moment, Ji Yunchu was kneeling at Cao Lingru's feet and crying.

"Mother, please help me. I can't live without the position of Crown Princess. I... I have no other choice. My grandfather only wants my sister to enter the Eastern Palace, so I have no choice but to resort to this last resort."

Cao Lingru was physically and mentally exhausted. When she found out that Ji Yunchu had someone poison the red date and lotus seed soup, she couldn't believe that Ji Yunchu would do such a thing.

But the matter was done, and she could only help cover it secretly.

"Fortunately, the imperial physician said that your grandfather is fine. You can't do this again!"

Ji Yunchu concealed her hatred and nodded obediently.

"I understand, thank you, mother."

Cao Lingru hugged Ji Yunchu tenderly, "If you are scared, just go to mother. Mother will definitely make the decision for you. Don't dirty your hands by touching those dirty things."

Ji Yunchu lowered her head and leaned on Cao Lingru's knees.

"Mom, you are so nice." How nice it would be if she was her biological mother.

"Grandfather is in a coma. When the Grand Tutor's Mansion comes to ask about my sister's marriage, how should we respond?"

She wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "It's all my fault. I made things difficult for my parents."

"What's so difficult about this? As long as your grandfather doesn't wake up, An Yu's marriage will be my responsibility. I just need to agree to the Taifu Mansion." Cao Lingru smiled arrogantly.

Ji Yunchu's eyes moved slightly, "Mom, I suspect that the master's son has a problem. For my sister's sake, you'd better not agree."

Cao Lingru's heart skipped a beat.

"Where did you get the news?"

"I haven't heard any news, mother. Think about it, people outside say that the son of the Grand Tutor is very talented and clean. Why would such a good man like my sister? Isn't this strange?"

Cao Lingru lowered her eyes, it was indeed a bit strange.

When she first heard that the Taifu Mansion came to propose marriage, she was shocked and couldn't understand why the Taifu Mansion wanted to marry Ji Anyu.

"Mother, the Taifu's son must be ill! That's why he had to settle for marrying my sister."

Cao Lingru followed Ji Yunchu's line of thought and became more and more frightened the more she thought about it.

When the three-day period was over and Ji Chengting had not regained consciousness, the Imperial Tutor's Mansion came again to propose marriage.

Before the Grand Tutor's wife could say anything, Cao Lingru was the first to refuse.

"Madam Taifu, please go back. An Yu is not worthy of your son. You should find another girl."

"I haven't said a word yet, and you're urging me to leave. Ha, the Duke's Mansion is so arrogant, our Taifu Mansion can't even reach it!"

The wife of the Grand Tutor frowned and ordered her servants to carry the betrothal gifts back home.

Upon hearing the news, Sun Ziyou ran to the door of his house and saw his mother’s face full of anger.

"Don't even think about marrying the second daughter of the Duke's Mansion. I won't set foot in the Duke's Mansion!"

Sun Ziyou's eyes turned dark and he immediately sent someone to Prince Zhong's mansion to inform the king.
