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

Chapter 55 If I succeed, my grandfather might give me a title!
When Shen Jing learned that the Duke's Mansion had rejected the Grand Tutor's Mansion, he went to the Grand Tutor's Mansion that night.

"Ajing, you know my mother's temper. She has been humiliated by the Duke's Mansion. There is nothing I can do to help you now." Sun Ziyou looked apologetic.

"With the old Duke here, Miss Ji should be fine. You should worry about your marriage first. I heard that the Queen Mother is going back to Beijing, and I'm sure she will urge you to get married."

Shen Jing sat at the desk with a cup of tea.

"Since we are not destined to be together, let's just forget it." He would look for someone else. If he couldn't find anyone in the capital, he would look somewhere else. He would always find the right one.

At this time, Ji Anyu was eating.

"Miss, you didn't see it. Madam Taifu's face was terribly dark. She must be blaming the Duke's Mansion."

"Mother is so ruthless to Madam Taifu, it's only natural that Madam Taifu is unhappy."

"It's a pity that the young lady lost this good marriage." Han Yan showed regret on her face.

"It's okay. If the old doesn't go, the new won't come. This means that the son of the Grand Tutor and I are not destined to be together."

Ji Anyu bit into a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Luckily I took Huifu to Jinghualou for dinner. Huifu's cooking skills are really good. Although the taste may not be exactly the same as Jinghualou's, it's not far behind."

Han Yan sighed helplessly upon seeing this. After the marriage proposal from the Grand Tutor's Mansion, there were rumors outside that the young lady was too picky and did not even look down on the Grand Tutor's son.

Qiao Xin brought a bowl of soup into the room.

"Miss, Madam has sent a message that the Second Master will be back tomorrow."

Ji Anyu stopped what he was doing. When he heard that the people from the second house had returned, he was not as happy as he was in his previous life.

The second house has only one daughter, Ji Qinqin, and they returned to Beijing just to find a husband for Ji Qinqin.

In her previous life, after she married Wei Luoyan, Ji Qinqin came to visit her and wanted to replace her.

With the help of Ji Yunchu, Ji Qinqin entered Nanhou Mansion as a concubine, and later joined Wei Luoyan's sister in killing her child.

Ji Anyu gave a cold smile.

"Qiao Xin, take out grandma's headgear. I will wear it to welcome them home tomorrow."

"Yes."

Ji Anyu was so excited that she couldn't sleep because Ji Qinqin was pregnant with a child, and the child's biological father was Ji Qinqin's cousin Deng Qiqi.

Ji Qinqin concealed this matter very well, and even the abortion was done without anyone noticing.

If Ji Qinqin hadn't accidentally let it slip after killing her child in her previous life, she wouldn't have known.

Ji Anyu has already thought of many ways to punish Ji Qinqin and avenge her child.

The next day, Ji Anyu went out dressed up and saw jealousy and envy in Ji Qinqin's eyes as she wished.

"Uncle, Aunt, is this girl your cousin? She's really pretty."

"Yes, her name is Ji Qinqin, and she is one year younger than you."

Deng Huajie gently pushed Ji Qinqin.

"Qinqin, hurry up and call sister."

Ji Qinqin knelt down reluctantly and saluted, "Hello, sister."

Their second branch had long heard that the first branch had found their long-lost daughter, but her reputation was not good, so they looked down on Ji Anyu.

But when I met Ji Anyu today, I found out that the rumors were false.

"Brother, An Yu looks so much like mother. You can tell at first glance that she is the bloodline of our Duke's Mansion!" Ji Xiu was also sincerely happy for the first wife.

Ji Xiuxu turned his head to look at Ji Anyu, who made him so proud, and smiled so hard that wrinkles appeared on his face.

"It must be my mother's spirit in heaven that is blessing our Duke's Mansion and helping An Yu return home."

Such polite words are helpful in maintaining the relationship between brothers, and he always likes to say a few words in front of his younger brother.

Ji Xiuyi's smile deepened after hearing this. His brother missed his mother and would definitely take care of him. "Dad is sick and hasn't woken up yet. Eat something later and I'll take you to see him." Ji Xiuxu patted his brother's shoulder.

The Duke was busy reminiscing with his brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Their wives smiled at each other. Except for Ji Yunchu who followed Cao Lingru, everyone else walked behind.

Ji Anyu suppressed his hatred and held Ji Qinqin's arm, then casually took off a hairpin from her head.

"Sister Qinqin, do you like it? The headpieces on my bun were given to me by my grandfather. If you like them, you can ask him to give you a set."

After letting Ji Qinqin touch her twice, she put it back into her bun.

"It's a pity that grandpa didn't wake up, otherwise grandpa would definitely give you a headdress. Hey, grandpa used to be in very good health, but I don't know what happened these days, he suddenly fell ill."

Ji Anyu looked around cautiously and whispered in Ji Qinqin's ear.

"Sister Qinqin, do you think that my grandfather was murdered? That's what the storybook says."

Ji Qinqin was surprised: "No way."

"Yeah, I must have overthought it." Ji Anyu frowned, with a look of unwillingness on his face.

"What's written in the storybook may not be false. I'll go check out what grandpa eats someday, like soups and the like. If someone really did harm grandpa, then I'll have done a great deed! Grandpa might even give me another set of headgear, hehe..."

Ji Qinqin's thoughts turned, and she gave Ji Anyu a faint smile, as if she didn't care about what Ji Anyu said.

She ate a little with her parents and then went to visit Ji Chengting.

Ji Chengting lay on the bed with his eyes closed, just like a person who was asleep. There was only a faint smell of medicine in the room.

Ji Qinqin thought of Ji Anyu's words, and walked closer to Ji Chengting. She saw that Ji Chengting's face did not look like that of a person who had been ill for a long time.

"Mom, could it be that Grandfather was poisoned?"

Deng Huajie glanced at her husband and the Duke, then quickly covered Ji Qinqin's mouth.

"What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? Your grandfather's illness was treated by the imperial physician. If the imperial physician says he is sick, then he is sick."

Ji Qinqin refused to listen to her mother. She remembered that when her cousin's mother was sick and in a coma, her complexion was very different from that of her grandfather.

If her grandfather's face wasn't a little pale, she would have thought that he must be in good health.

No wonder Ji Anyu suspected someone had poisoned her.

Ji Qinqin was thinking quietly when the housekeeper suddenly came in with a bowl of food.

"Butler, what is that?"

"To answer Miss Third's question, this is red dates and lotus seeds soup. The master loved to eat it before he fell ill. I put it here so that the master can eat it right away if he wakes up." The butler said happily.

In the Duke's Mansion, only the Second Miss was always thinking about the Master. She reminded him early in the morning to have someone prepare the Master's favorite food, hoping that the Master would wake up soon.

Ji Qinqin's mind was full of the red dates and lotus seed soup that her grandfather loved to eat before he fell ill. She couldn't help but feel alert. She wanted to go forward and take a look at the red dates and lotus seed soup, but was afraid of attracting attention.

Deng Huajie saw this and smiled dotingly.

After visiting her father-in-law, she asked the servants to make a bowl of red date and lotus seed soup for Ji Qinqin.

When Ji Qinqin saw the red dates and lotus seed soup on the table, she turned pale with fright, hunched over and started vomiting.

……

“Miss, the third lady asked Gingko beside her to keep an eye on the east kitchen.”

Qiao Xin handed Ji Anyu a bowl of soup, which was red date and lotus seed soup.

"When the third young lady saw the soup, she vomited immediately."

Ji Anyu put on a sarcastic smile and took the red dates and lotus seeds soup. She lowered her head and stirred it a few times, then put it down with a dull look.

"Prepare the lunch box and take it out to the doctor."

"Yes."
