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

Chapter 59: Really Like a Madman

"Lord Wei, the Minister of Justice, sent a jade Buddha."

Ji Chengting's pupils trembled.

Ji Anyu had saved the prince of Prince Zhong's Mansion, so it was normal for the prince of Prince Zhong to come and congratulate him, but Wei Songlin had never interacted with them, and his aunt was a noble concubine, so it was inevitable that people would think too much when he suddenly came to congratulate him.

Ji Yunchi also thought of this aspect and turned to ask Ji Anyu.

"Sister, are you acquainted with Lord Wei?"

"I once competed with Lord Wei in archery at the Prince of Qi's palace and won a jade pendant from him."

Ji Anyu secretly cursed Wei Songlin for being annoying. She had finally managed to stay away from the struggle for imperial power, but when Wei Songlin arrived, she was dragged into the storm.

As expected, Wei Songlin felt that the noise was not loud enough, and he laughed loudly.

"The Second Prince couldn't come because of something, so he specially asked me to come and congratulate the old Duke on the separation of the family."

Upon hearing this, the distinguished guest glanced at Ji Chengting meaningfully. It turned out that they had different political views. The son wanted to follow the crown prince, while the father wanted to support the second prince. No wonder the family was divided.

Seeing that Wei Songlin was deliberately dragging them into this, Ji Yunchi got so angry that he picked up a broom.

"Yunchi, let me do it." Ji Anyu grabbed the broom and winked at Ji Yunchi to let go.

Ji Yunchi had seen how powerful his sister was, so he reluctantly let go.

"Lord Wei." Ji Anyu walked forward with a charming smile.

Wei Songlin saw that Ji Anyu had become even more beautiful, "Miss Ji is even more charming than last time."

"Humph, Lord Wei wants to see us make a fool of ourselves, why do you have to put the blame on the Second Prince? I know that Lord Wei has been unwilling to accept the fact that he lost to me in the archery competition at Prince Qi's mansion last time."

Everyone suddenly realized that this was actually the case.

"Since you can't afford to lose, Lord Wei, don't compete."

Wei Songlin's face turned cold, but he still looked at Ji Anyu with a smile.

"It's been a long time since I last saw you. Miss Ji is so eloquent again."

"Thank you Lord Wei for the compliment." Ji Anyu agreed in anger.

"Since Lord Wei has come to our house, we in the Ji family are not as petty as Lord Wei. Please take a seat, Lord Wei."

Wei Songlin originally wanted to disgust Shen Jing and leave, but after hearing Ji Anyu's words, he raised a disdainful smile and sat down.

"Although the food in your mansion is not as good as that in Jinghua Tower, it is still eatable." His tone was full of sarcasm.

Ji Anyu had a respectful smile on her face. If there hadn't been any guests around, she would have asked someone to bring dog food to Wei Songlin.

After a while, Ji Anyu heard a servant shouting that a gift had been sent from Nanhou Mansion.

"Throw away all the things in Nanhou Mansion!" Ji Chengting hated Wei Luoyan and was annoyed by the people in Nanhou Mansion.

"Wait." Ji Anyu hurried over to stop him.

"Grandfather, let me take care of the people in Nanhou Mansion. Please take a seat and rest for a while."

Ji Chengting's expression softened a little when he saw that his granddaughter was a person with her own opinions.

"If they cause you any harm, feel free to come to me."

"Well, granddaughter understands."

Ji Anyu looked at the servants of Nanhou Mansion. They had arrogant expressions on their faces, just like their master.

"Come here, accept the gift." I'll pawn it for money tomorrow.

"Miss Ji Er, my master asked you to come to Nanhou Mansion in three days to celebrate his wife's birthday."

"Oh, I understand." Ji Anyu's lips curled up. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

The other party obviously did not expect Ji Anyu to agree so readily. He was stunned for a moment and stared at Ji Anyu's face for a long time.

"What's wrong? What does your master want to see from my face? Does he want to see me cry or laugh?"

Ji Anyu frankly exposed Wei Luoyan's little thoughts, and the other party smiled awkwardly and left in a hurry.

"Miss Ji's relationship with Nanhou Mansion is quite deep. After all this trouble, Miss Ji's heart is really open-minded. She actually wants to go and celebrate Nanhou's wife's birthday."

Ji Anyu rolled his eyes and looked back at Wei Songlin who was fanning himself with a fan. "I can't help it. Who told me not to be as petty as Lord Wei? If Lord Wei is full, please go home early. My family is short of manpower and we don't have time to entertain Lord Wei."

Wei Songlin stood close to Ji Anyu, and he could clearly see every smile and frown on Ji Anyu's face.

"Miss Ji seems to be happier than she was in the Duke's Mansion. Congratulations to Miss Ji for escaping from the sea of suffering and getting what she wanted."

"Thank you." Ji Anyu glanced at him indifferently and walked away.

"Miss Ji Er, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Ji Anyu stopped and looked at Wei Songlin suspiciously.

"Lord Wei, are you..." She was blind and very busy, and Wei Songlin's nagging was really annoying.

She suppressed her anger and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Miss Ji Er, will you consider cooperating with me? The Queen Mother has returned to the palace, and her favorite granddaughter is Princess Yunling, the daughter of Concubine Shu. The Crown Prince and his men can't help you, but I can."

"What are your conditions?" Ji Anyuming was a man of few words.

Wei Songlin smiled happily, "The Queen Mother will summon you. You will know when you enter the palace and see the Imperial Concubine."

Ji Anyu suppressed the fluctuation in his eyes and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Wei Songlin smiled with an ambiguous meaning.

Like a madman.

Ji Anyu was about to say something but stopped himself, and watched Wei Songlin disappear from his sight.

"Sister, colluding with the second prince's party is undoubtedly courting death." Ji Yunchi stood beside Ji Anyu without knowing when.

"Don't worry, Sister knows what's going on."

After people had eaten and drunk their fill, they left and the front yard gradually became quiet.

Ji Anyu finally had time to sit down and eat. While chewing on pork ribs, she looked at the red coral in the yard.

Unexpectedly, Shen Jing was not sent to the palace, but sent to her home instead.

Ji Anyu once again expressed her admiration for Shen Jing's righteousness.

Shen Jing had not shown up, so Ji Anyu packed the food in a lunch box and sent it to Prince Zhong's mansion.

Although Shen Jing might not like the food, Ji Anyu still wanted to express her gratitude and thank Shen Jing for helping her.

"Qiao Xin, take the gift sent by Nan Hou Mansion and pawn it tomorrow."

"Yes." Qiao Xin was not surprised by her master's behavior of pawning gifts.

"Anyu, you've worked hard today." Ji Chengting's eyes were filled with guilt.

The banquet should have been hosted by the mistress, but since there was no mistress at home, Ji Anyu took it over.

"Grandfather, I am not tired. On the contrary, this is a good opportunity to be a housekeeper. I can train myself in advance. When I get married in the future, I will be able to be a housekeeper with confidence."

After he finished speaking, Ji Chengting thought of the marriage proposal that Cao Lingru had rejected, and he felt so heartbroken that he lost his appetite.

He suppressed his unhappiness and served a bowl of soup to Ji Anyu and Ji Yunchi.

"You are still young, eat more. I am tired and will go back to the house first."

"Okay." Ji Anyu didn't doubt it. He smiled at his brother and lowered his head to continue eating.

An hour later, someone came from the palace.

"Miss Ji Er, the Queen Mother will summon you tomorrow."

Ji Anyu secretly wondered at whose instigation the Queen Mother had summoned her.

"Eunuch, you have worked hard. Would you like to sit down and have something to eat?" After leaving the Duke's Mansion, Ji Yunchi took on the responsibility consciously and had the demeanor of a head of the family.

"Uh..." My father-in-law happened to be hungry. He glanced at the food on the table, swallowed his saliva, and turned his eyes away in disgust.

"No, the Queen Mother is waiting for news from me in the palace."

Ji Anyu stuffed gold leaves into the hands of her father-in-law, and Ji Yunchi politely escorted her father-in-law out of the house.
