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

Chapter 90 I wish I could slap Ji Anyu to death
When Ji Xiuyi heard Deng Huajie advising him to fight for the position of Duke, he couldn't believe it and his eyes widened.

"Madam, you are not dreaming, are you?" Ji Xiuyi held his forehead with his hand, "Do you think I can sit in that seat just because I want to?"

Deng Huajie thought Ji Xiuyi was deliberately refusing, and guessed that Ji Xiuyi was maintaining his usual magnanimity, so she spoke with a sarcastic tone.

"Husband, if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your daughter. Besides, for so many years, you have been humiliated and are you willing to continue to be a supporting role beside your brother?"

Ji Xiu also frowned. He felt that Deng Huajie was hiding something from his words.

"Even if my brother's own son wants to be a duke, the emperor must agree."

"This is an easy matter. Didn't you always say that you and the emperor used to go hunting together when you were young? It seems that you have a good relationship. You can make a petition to the emperor and ask for his consent to let you become the Duke." Deng Huajie said lightly.

Ji Xiu also remained silent. After a while, he nodded.

"I'll report this to the Emperor later."

"Yeah." Deng Huajie grinned. After finishing what her daughter asked her to do, she didn't know what to say to Ji Xiu.

Even Ji Xiuyi felt the atmosphere was awkward, "Madam, have you been worried about something lately?" Why did she seem to be distancing herself from him?
"No... no, you're overthinking it." Deng Huajie suppressed the emotion in her eyes, "I'm going to go see my daughter."

Ji Xiu also saw Deng Huajie leaving in a hurry, and looked back at the place where the tablets of Deng Qiqi's parents were placed.

Did Madam Mofei notice something?
Ji Xiu also sat down with a lot on his mind and wrote a memorial.

……

Ji Anyu went out to Yunhua Tower to look at the account books and happened to meet Xu Yuyan.

Xu Yuyan said in a gentle tone, "Miss Ji, I was just about to go look for you. I'm returning the fifty taels to you. Do you want me to count the money?" He handed Ji Anyu a purse.

Ji Anyu took the purse and weighed it, "Mr. Xu is a man of his word, I believe you."

Xu Yuyan lowered his eyes and smiled faintly. He borrowed this money specially from his grandson Ziyou. It was not a big deal for him and he would not give him less.

"By the way, um... has the poison in your mother been cured?" Ji Anyu saw that Xu Yuyan's eyes were dark and his face was full of worry.

"No, Miss Ji Er stabbed Wei Luoyan with a sword last time, and he is still recovering from his injuries and has not seen me."

Ji Anyu nodded sympathetically. It was very hard to get rid of someone like Wei Luoyan once you got attached to him.

"Mr. Xu, take care of yourself." Ji Anyu pretended to leave.

"Miss Ji, thank you. If you hadn't been there that day, a powerless person like me would probably have been unable to leave Nanhou Mansion." Maybe I would have died in Nanhou Mansion.

Xu Yuyan thanked him sincerely.

"You're welcome." Ji Anyu shrugged carelessly.

"Hey! Isn't this Miss Ji Er? What a coincidence."

Wei Songlin glanced at Xu Yuyan, "Is this Mr. Xu? I have long heard of your name and I am honored to have read your article."

Xu Yuyan smiled awkwardly. They had met not long ago, but Lord Wei was a forgetful person.

He bowed respectfully to Wei Songlin and said, "Master Wei, thank you for your praise. Compared with your knowledge, I am not very knowledgeable. It's just that the article I wrote just happened to suit your taste."

When Wei Songlin saw that Xu Yuyan wisely gave in, he let out a low laugh and glanced sideways at Ji Anyu.

"Miss Ji, I heard that the emperor has granted you and Prince Shen a marriage. Congratulations, and I wish you a happy marriage."

Ji Anyu smiled distantly, "Thank you, Lord Wei. I heard that Lord Wei is not married yet. I also wish Lord Wei to find a good partner soon." Wei Songlin's smile faded a little, and he stared at Ji Anyu deeply.

"Master Shen and I have known each other for many years. We have similar tastes. I like the same kind of women as he does." His tone contained a frivolous feeling.

Ji Anyu frowned. Wei Songlin's words made her feel really uncomfortable.

Xu Yuyan noticed Wei Songlin's hidden feelings for Ji Anyu. Thinking about how Ji Anyu had helped him, he stepped forward to block Wei Songlin's gaze from falling on Ji Anyu.

"Is Lord Wei taking a day off today? I have always admired Lord Wei's demeanor. Would you be so kind as to drink with me? I have some insights on state affairs that I would like to ask Lord Wei for advice."

Wei Songlin glanced at Xu Yuyan with displeasure. He had just praised Xu Yuyan for being sensible, but in the blink of an eye he was taking advantage of him.

He had no interest in the sour article written by Xu Yuyan, and what he just said was just a polite remark.

"I am busy! Let's make an appointment another day. Mr. Xu can leave first if he has something to do."

Xu Yuyan's eyes flashed. Wei Songlin relied on his official position to openly drive people away. Xu Yuyan gave Ji Anyu a helpless look.

Ji Anyu understood and gave Xu Yuyan a reassuring look, "Mr. Xu, don't you still have your mother at home to take care of? You should take care of your own things first."

Xu Yuyan nodded, looking back every few steps, and decided to ask Sun Ziyu for help.

When Wei Songlin saw the annoying person leave, he smiled evilly.

"Miss Ji Er, you went to the palace to see the Imperial Concubine before. Why did you make her angry?"

Obviously, it was Ji Anyu who angered the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine took her anger out on him, which made him extremely unhappy.

Ji Anyu covered her mouth and sneered, "Master Wei, don't you know why the imperial concubine is angry?"

She looked at Wei Songlin with a haughty look, "Originally I wanted to cooperate with you guys, but the imperial concubine insisted that I eat some messy food. I think if it was Lord Wei, you wouldn't be happy either, right?"

Wei Songlin laughed, "If you eat that, you won't die for a while."

"Oh! It's not you who eats it, so of course you don't care. If the Queen Mother hadn't saved me, I would have died at the hands of the Imperial Concubine. Lord Wei, I originally wanted to cooperate with you sincerely, but I can't stand the Imperial Concubine's way of doing things. Lord Wei, please find someone else."

After saying this, Ji Anyu ignored Wei Songlin and walked away.

"Hey, why is Miss Ji angry again?" Wei Songlin stopped Ji Anyu, "What about the imperial concubine? I will persuade her well. Don't worry, I will not let you down this time."

Ji Anyu smiled and raised his eyebrows, "No need, I can't do anything that would hurt a tiger."

Wei Songlin's face suddenly turned cold.

"Miss Ji Er, my patience is limited, and I haven't argued with you about the jade Buddha I gave you, but you gave it to the Queen Mother."

"Oh, you mean you want the Jade Buddha back?" Ji Anyu covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes provocative, "Anything you give me is mine. If you really want the Jade Buddha back, then go ask the Queen Mother for it."

The Imperial Concubine also gave her a Manxi. She didn't know this before, but now that she knows, she definitely won't want to cooperate with the Imperial Concubine anymore.

Wei Songlin's face darkened. "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Do you think Shen Jing is a good person? He is a hypocrite! If you marry him, you don't know whether you can survive your wedding night. If you don't want to die at the hands of Shen Jing, you should take the initiative and kill him!"

"Lord Wei, you must be thirsty after talking so much, right?" Ji Anyu looked at Wei Songlin with innocent eyes.

Wei Songlin suddenly felt powerless. Ji Anyu refused to listen and he wanted to just slap Ji Anyu to death.
