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

Chapter 77: Stopping the Separation of the Couple
"Oh, Deng Qiqi is so shameless to say such nonsense." Ji Anyu shook his head excitedly.

The corner of Shen Jing's mouth twitched, and he picked up a small piece of boneless fish meat and handed it to Ji Anyu's mouth.

Ji Anyu took a look at the fish and then took a bite.

"Sweet and fresh!" Her eyebrows instantly curved into crescents.

Shen Jing smiled indulgently, turned back to the table and continued picking out fish bones.

"It's trapped. Alas, there's no hope." Zhusha couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and went out to urge the waiter to bring the sweet and sour pork ribs.

At this moment, a group of people were standing outside Wei Yanyue's room, watching the fun, and some of them put their ears against the door.

In the room, Deng Qiqi hugged Wei Yanyue tightly.

"Does the Nanhou Mansion look down on my status? I am the cousin of the Duke's Mansion, and I am a perfect match for Miss Wei. Besides, we have already accomplished something. Miss Wei, you are already mine!"

Wei Yanyue cried angrily, "Ji Qinqin, why don't you quickly pull your cousin away, he is molesting me."

Ji Qinqin was in a dilemma. She kept comforting Wei Yanyue but did not move.

The door was suddenly kicked open and Wei Luoyan walked in with a gloomy face. Seeing his sister being bullied, he drew his knife and stepped forward.

"Mr. Wei, calm down! My cousin is already married to Miss Wei. If you kill him, who will marry Miss Wei?" Ji Qinqin shouted while hiding in the corner.

Wei Luoyan yelled, “Shut up!”

Deng Qiqi quickly let go of Wei Yanyue and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

"Miss Wei and I can't help ourselves. I will come to propose marriage tomorrow."

"Brother! You are finally here!" Wei Yanyue lay in Wei Luoyan's arms and cried bitterly.

Wei Luoyan noticed the marks on Wei Yanyue’s neck with his sharp eyes and became furious.

Due to his momentary negligence, his sister was bullied by the coward Deng Qiqi.

"Deng Qiqi, I will kill you!"

Deng Qiqi was so frightened that his pants were wet.

Just as the knife was about to cut his neck, suddenly a sword flew over from a distance and knocked the knife in Wei Luoyan's hand off track.

"Master Wei, calm down."

Wei Luoyan looked at the person who came, and when he saw it was Shen Jing, he became even angrier.

"What does the affairs of my Nanhou Mansion have to do with you?"

Shen Jing threw away the folding fan. He didn't want to care about it. It was just that someone asked him to come out and stop Wei Luoyan from killing Deng Qiqi.

"This young master is a good citizen. I cannot sit back and watch you kill someone in broad daylight. Moreover, this young master and your sister are in love. If you kill him, aren't you breaking up the couple?"

Wei Yanyue couldn't help but feel despair when he heard the voice of her that he missed her day and night.

Shen Jing knew everything, and she no longer had a chance.

Having made a fool of herself in front of her beloved, Wei Yanyue was too ashamed to face Shen Jing. In grief and anger, Wei Yanyue fainted.

"Yan Yue!"

Wei Luoyan shook Wei Yanyue, and seeing that Wei Yanyue did not react at all, he quickly handed Wei Yanyue to the servant and asked him to take Wei Yanyue back home.

Wei Luoyan raised the knife and pointed it at Shen Jing.

"Shen Shizi, if you know what's best for you, stop interfering in the affairs of our Nanhou Mansion."

"Well, I've thought about it, and Master Wei is right. The trouble at Marquis Nan's Mansion is indeed very troublesome. I've specially asked someone to invite the Duke and Marquis Nan over. They should be here by now." Shen Jing said with a nonchalant smile.

"Shen Jing, do you really have to make things difficult for me? Since you have nothing to do, why not take care of your wife-to-be? I heard that she married a fool before and had an affair with a beggar. Master Shen, you'd better be careful that she might cheat on you." Wei Luoyan's eyes were cloudy and vicious.

Shen Jing concealed his murderous intent and said with a dagger hidden in his smile.

"Master Wei, don't say anything without evidence. My future wife is innocent, otherwise why would the emperor grant us a marriage? Master Wei, if you question my future wife, you are questioning the emperor! Master Wei, do you think the emperor is crazy?" He swung a dagger at Wei Luoyan's leg.

"This is just a lesson. I hope you will be more careful with your words. If you continue to speak rudely, I will stab you in the heart!"

Wei Luoyan bent over and covered his legs, cold sweat on his forehead, and the corners of his eyes were red with murderous intent. He was about to fight back, but was suddenly slapped hard in the face.

"Asshole!" Nan Hou was furious. "What are you talking about? How can you comment on the emperor? Go back home!"

Wei Luoyan suppressed his resentment and left with Shuda's help.

"Lord Nan, the Duke's Mansion will give an explanation to the Nan Marquis' Mansion on this matter." Ji Xiuxu bowed to the Nan Marquis apologetically.

"Hmph!" Nan Hou glanced at Deng Qiqi, then left angrily with his sleeves swung.

Ji Xiuxu was exhausted, and it was all Deng Qiqi's fault for causing such a ridiculous thing.

"Thank you, Master Shen, for delivering the message. Otherwise, Qi Qi would have died at the hands of Wei Luoyan today."

He looked at Shen Jing with complicated feelings. This man was his daughter's fiancé.

"You are too polite, Duke. It's just a small favor." Seeing that the Duke came to clean up, Shen Jing turned around and went to find Ji Anyu.

"Everyone, go away." Daduan dispersed the crowd and closed the door of the compartment.

Only Ji Xiuxu, Deng Qiqi and Ji Qinqin were left in the room.

"Thank you, Duke, for helping me." Deng Qiqi knelt down and kowtowed.

"You have brought shame to our mansion in front of everyone!" Ji Xiuxu held his breath, and when he saw Deng Qiqi showing weakness, he flew into a rage and kicked him.

Ji Qinqin was so shocked by the sudden scene that she screamed.

Deng Qiqi was a weak scholar. He was suddenly kicked in the chest and fell down with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"I'm sorry, I will definitely take responsibility for this matter to the end."

"Ha! You're taking advantage of me, you're the biggest beneficiary of this matter, if you don't take responsibility, who will? You're just talking nonsense." Ji Xiuxu really wanted to kill Deng Qiqi with one knife.

The relationship between the Duke's Mansion and the Nanhou Mansion had just eased a little, but it was destroyed again by Deng Qiqi, and the Crown Prince had complaints again.

Ji Xiuxu was so angry that his head hurt. One by one, they were causing trouble for him and none of them was a worry to him.

Especially Deng Qiqi in front of him, who was relying on the Duke's Mansion to stir up trouble.

He wanted to drive Deng Qiqi out of the Duke's Mansion, but since Deng Qiqi was married to Wei Yanyue, he could not drive Deng Qiqi out. He had to help Deng Qiqi and ensure that his career would go smoothly, so that Wei Yanyue could feel proud.

Ji Xiuxu didn't want to look at Deng Qiqi, so he turned to look at Ji Qinqin.

"Qinqin, what are you doing here?"

“I…” Ji Qinqin rolled her eyes guiltily.

"Uncle, I heard that my cousin was coming here to eat, so I came here to eat. After all, I have never eaten the food in Jinghua Tower." Ji Qinqin smiled shyly.

Ji Xiuxu frowned and looked at Deng Qiqi suspiciously.

Deng Qiqi doesn't have much money, so why would he come to Jinghua Tower for dinner?

"Cough, cough, cough..." Ji Xiuxu took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth. Seeing that he was coughing up blood again, the light in his eyes became dim, and he put it into his sleeve calmly.

"Deng Qiqi, who brought you here?"

"I came here by myself." Deng Qiqi lowered his head guiltily.

Ji Xiuxu stared at Deng Qiqi with eagle-like eyes, "You kid still want to lie to me, tell me! Where did you get the money?"

Deng Qiqi couldn't resist Ji Xiuxu's gaze.

"The eldest lady invited me to dinner here. She said that the Duke's wife wanted to matchmake me with the eldest lady's younger sister and asked us to meet here. I thought that the Duke's mansion wanted to marry the eldest lady's younger sister, so I came here."
