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

Chapter 86: Personally Offer Proposal
When Deng Qiqi saw that the window paper between them was broken, he sneered madly.

"Didn't you take my family's money? Didn't you arrange for my family to be robbed?"

Deng Huajie was heartbroken and slapped Deng Qiqi hard in the face.

"You actually suspected that we had sent those robbers. Blame me. It's all my fault that I kept you by my side out of kindness. I didn't expect you to be such an ungrateful person!"

Deng Huajie was so heartbroken that she almost lost her balance. Ji Xiu also suppressed the change in expression in his eyes and supported Deng Huajie.

"Qi'er has committed a serious mistake. Hand him over to the Nanhou Mansion for punishment."

Deng Huajie looked at Wei Luoyan with red eyes.

"Master Wei, I'll leave this adulterer to you. Our Qinqin doesn't have to keep her hair uncut to practice. Tomorrow I'll have people return all the betrothal gifts and call off the marriage. From now on, men and women getting married have nothing to do with each other."

Wei Luoyan just didn't want to marry Ji Qinqin, so he nodded.

Wei Yanyue didn't want to marry Deng Qiqi, and was very happy that the Duke's Mansion didn't care about Deng Qiqi. Deng Qiqi would be in their hands from now on, and let's see what tricks he could come up with.

She gave Madam Nanhou a look.

Madam Nanhou understood and gave Wei Yanyue a reassuring look.

"Nanhou Mansion will also return the betrothal gifts sent by Deng Qiqi tomorrow."

Deng Qiqi was extremely anxious when he saw that they did not ask about his opinion and just decided his matter with just a few words.

"Yan Yue, I really love you! Our marriage..."

Before Deng Qiqi could finish his words, Wei Luoyan signaled Shuda to cover Deng Qiqi's mouth and drag him out forcibly.

"We have dealt with Master Wei's affairs. Now it's time to tell us why you locked the Crown Prince's wife and the others in the room? There was even fragrant mist blowing into the room. Wei Luoyan, do you think this Crown Prince is dead?"

Shen Jing looked at Wei Luoyan with a gloomy face and angry eyes.

Nan Hou saw that his son was silent and guessed that his son intended to harm Ji Anyu, so he quickly raised his foot and kicked Wei Luoyan hard.

"Prince Shen, calm down. This must be a misunderstanding. Luo Yan's study is often locked. The servants didn't know there was someone inside, so they locked the prince's wife in the room."

"Humph! Misunderstanding? What about the scented mist? That thing contains something that can enhance pleasure, is that also a misunderstanding?"

Shen Jing gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master Wei wanted to lead the guests to the study. If I hadn't ordered someone to stop him, we wouldn't be the only ones who knew about this scandal today."

Nan Hou was speechless, secretly cursing Wei Luoyan for competing with a woman, what a shame! He kicked Wei Luoyan again.

"Master Shen, I'll leave my son to you as long as you spare his life." Marquis Nan avoided his wife's pleading.

The Crown Prince's Consort was given by the Emperor, and it would be unjustifiable for her not to be punished for being openly plotted against by her own son.

Shen Jing gave a playful sneer, drew his sword and handed it to Ji Anyu.

"Since Nan Hou is willing to hand over his son to us, An Yu, what do you want?"

Ji Anyu looked at Shen Jing, slowly grasped the hilt of the sword, turned his head to look at Wei Luoyan, and gathered strength in his hands.

"Wei Luoyan, you bullied and humiliated me, you deserve this sword!"

The tip of the sword suddenly stabbed towards Wei Luoyan's heart.

Wei Luoyan was horrified and tried to dodge, but found that his legs were too weak to move.

"Luo Yan!" Madam Nanhou hurriedly grabbed the sword, and her hand started bleeding instantly.

After Madam Nanhou interrupted, the sword didn't pierce deep enough and Wei Luoyan survived.

Ji Anyu looked at Madam Nanhou coldly and drew his sword ruthlessly.

Wei Luoyan's body suddenly jerked forward, he fell to the ground, holding his chest in pain, his collar staining red.

The sword passed through Madam Nanhou's hand, and she quickly let go.

"Ah, my hand."

"Mom, are you okay?" Wei Yanyue worriedly held Madam Nanhou's hand. Seeing the blood on her hand, she turned her head and glared at Ji Anyu. "Master Shen, Ji Anyu has a vicious heart. How could you marry such a woman?"

Shen Jing ignored Wei Yanyue, stroked Ji Anyu's head lovingly, and then threw the sword to Zhusha to deal with.

"Anyu, let's go."

"Yeah." Ji Anyu nodded heavily in a very good mood.

Wei Yanyue looked at them leaving hand in hand with a lonely look in her eyes filled with jealousy and hatred.

Cao Lingru, who had been watching the fun, couldn't believe that the person who had just stabbed someone was Ji Anyu. She was so scared that her legs and feet went weak and she leaned on Yuan Niang.

"Second brother, take Qinqin with you, let's go back to the Duke's Mansion."

"Ah."

Ji Qinqin got on the carriage and stared blankly at Nanhou Mansion through the window.

"Dad, Mom, my cousin..." Is he dead?
"Don't mention your cousin, forget about him!" Deng Huajie hugged Ji Qinqin distressedly, "If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state. Your cousin..."

Deng Huajie pursed her lips, a trace of pain flashed across her eyes. After a moment, she said coldly, "He deserves it! If he wasn't greedy, you and he would both have a good ending."

Ji Qinqin lay on Deng Huajie's shoulder and cried, "Mom, who would be willing to marry me in this state of my life?"

"You are the daughter of the Duke's Mansion. There are many men who want to marry you. You have nothing to fear as long as your father is here." Ji Xiuyi patted Ji Qinqin on the back.

After returning home, Ji Xiuyi went back to the study and secretly burned incense for Deng Qiqi's parents.

"You can finally be reunited as a family."

Deng Huajie hid at the window and watched her husband mumbling to himself in shock.

She felt that her husband had been distracted after hearing what Deng Qiqi said, so she followed him quietly. Unexpectedly, the robbery at Deng Qiqi's house was really related to her husband.

No wonder her husband agreed to let her keep Deng Qiqi by his side. Think about it, over the years, the family has never had to worry about food and clothing, and whenever there is not enough money, her husband can always make money.

Deng Huajie didn't dare to question Ji Xiuyi, for fear of affecting the relationship between husband and wife.

She returned to her room in a daze and fell ill the next day.

Ji Qinqin was unaware of her parents' concerns and focused on recuperating in her own room.

She must take good care of her body. As the daughter of the Duke's family, she still has a chance to marry into a wealthy family.

At this time, the prince and Shen Jing proposed marriage on the same day.

Although Ji Yunchu didn't understand why the emperor didn't issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage, the fact that the prince came to the Duke's Mansion in person to propose marriage meant that the emperor and the empress agreed to her marriage with the prince. She jumped on the ground with joy.

"Miss, are we going to visit Master Wei today? Shuda said that Master Wei was seriously injured."

"I won't go. Wei Luoyan is a fool. He is not good at doing anything, but always makes trouble. Let him reflect on himself."

Ji Yunchu played with the hair on her chest and said, "Go get my favorite headpiece. I want to wear it to see the prince."

……

Cao Lingru couldn't stop smiling as she looked at the betrothal gift in front of her.

"It's a pity that the Duke is ill, otherwise he would be very happy to see that Your Highness the Crown Prince personally proposed to him."

Chen Yuxian was surprised, "Is the Duke still not well? I haven't seen him come to the morning court for some time."

"Alas..." Cao Lingru said with a sad face, "Since he was knocked out by someone last time, he has never woken up. The imperial physician said that his condition is too serious and we don't know when he will wake up."

Cao Lingru glanced at the betrothal gift and suddenly felt unhappy. She hoped that the Duke could get through it.

"I'm going to go see the Duke." Chen Yuxian couldn't sit still. Ji Xiuxu was the only capable person left in the Duke's Mansion. If he died, what would be the point of him marrying Ji Yunchu.

Cao Lingru nodded, stood up and led Shen Yuxian over.
