I have suffered enough in my previous life, my cousin will never marry me

Chapter 44 Death with a Rod
Zhou Ru's heart trembled violently, her fingertips almost digging into her palms, and she shouted at Ji Ningxuan, "Third Miss, what do you want to do?"

After being suppressed by Zhou Ru and her daughter for so many years, Ji Ningxuan now has a chance to stand out. How could she let go of this opportunity to step on her?

She silently glanced at Ye Wanshu, who looked calm and composed. She had already realized that her elder sister had returned home to avenge Qin Yi Niang and Ning Yue, mother and daughter, and even more to avenge her mother.

Anyway, these things have nothing to do with her and her mother. She has to work with her elder sister to get rid of Aunt Zhou. In this way, after her elder sister gets married, the entire mansion will be under the control of her and her mother.

"Father, do you still remember the twins that Concubine Qin conceived for you last year?"

Ji Ningxuan slowly knelt down, her back straight. "That day, Aunt Zhou asked a doctor to check Aunt Qin's pulse. When she learned that Aunt Qin was pregnant with a son for you, she instructed Madam Liu to frame Aunt Qin, causing you to lose your only two sons."

Zhou Ru flew into a rage and shoved her to the ground. "You bitch, you're so bold as to lie like that!"

Ji Ningxuan was not afraid at all: "Whether I am talking nonsense or not, Dad only needs to ask and he will know."

Seeing Ji Yuan's face was terribly gloomy, Zhou Ru hurriedly said, "Master, please don't listen to the nonsense of the third lady."

Ji Yuan ignored her. He no longer trusted her. He glanced at everyone coldly, and his gaze slowly fell on Mother Liu.

"Tingfeng, beat her hard! If she dares to hide a single word, kill her immediately."

At a command, Ting Feng called two servants to quickly push Liu Mama to the ground, and then hit her with a stick as thick as a bowl.

"Master, I am wronged."

Just as Mother Liu shouted, the heavy stick hit her repeatedly and fiercely. Every blow made Zhou Ru and the people around her tremble with fear.

Mother Liu endured the pain and turned her gaze to Zhou Ru, but was frightened by her fierce look and clenched her teeth.

Ye Wanshu saw all of this. She smiled coldly and said, "Madam Zhou is truly adept at controlling people. You can silence Madam Liu alone, but I doubt you can control the entire courtyard's servants."

After she finished speaking, her phoenix eyes swept across everyone viciously. The servants were so scared that their faces turned pale and they knelt on the ground. Seeing that Mother Liu was beaten to death, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and point out Zhou Ru and her evil deeds.

Not only did he admit that Zhou Ru had framed Qin's concubine's child, he also told the story of how he had arranged for someone to harm the eldest girl that night.

Ji Yuan laughed out of anger, snatched the stick from Ting Feng's hand, and looked at Zhou Ru with a trembling body: "Do you believe what they said?"

Zhou Ru snorted coldly, "Master knew that all this was caused by the eldest girl, but he still listened to her and tortured Mama Liu into confessing. What can I say to justify myself?"

"At this point, you still dare to bring Wanwan into this?"

Ji Yuan was furious and asked Ting Feng to tie Zhou Ru to the spring stool. When he looked at her again, he was heartbroken.

"I've been open and sincere to you all these years and have never treated you and your daughter badly, and this is how you repay me?" he roared in a trembling voice.

"I just learned it all from you, Master. You taught me all this."

Zhou Ru glared at Ye Wanshu with resentment and burst into laughter.

"Miss, you still don't know why your father has always favored me for so many years, right? It's because he has low self-esteem. He relied on the Ye family and drank your mother's blood to reach his current position. Every time he sees your mother, it reminds him of the shameful past of trying to please your maternal grandfather. Only with me can he feel his manly self-esteem."

"How dare you talk nonsense."

The things that she didn't want to say in her heart were said bluntly by her. Ji Yuan was so angry that he hit Zhou Ru on the back with a stick, and Zhou Ru fainted.

Ji Yuan was so angry that he had someone splash water on her to wake her up. He picked up the bloody stick and shouted, "If you don't confess your evil deeds today, I will beat you to death myself."

"Beat me to death and I will just let the master get what he wants."

Knowing that Ji Yuan completely despised her, Zhou Ru suddenly burst into wild laughter.

"The way the master knelt before the Ye family's gate to beg that bitch to marry him was much more miserable than I am now. I really want to know if the master will remember how he managed to get to where he is today by wagging his tail and begging for mercy every time he faces me."

"Shut up."

Ji Yuan was so angry that he hit Zhou Ru again with a stick. The stick came down with a sound of wind, but Zhou Ru still laughed wildly.

Seeing this, Ye Wanshu closed her eyes, held Qin Chulin's cold little hand in her palm, and asked someone to push the coffin and walked out of the yard without looking back. The dull sound of sticks behind her gradually faded away and continued to be heard.

Zhou Ru didn't beg for mercy either. Her bloodshot eyes, stained with tears, stared intently at the direction Ye Wanshu had left, and she yelled hysterically, "Little bitch, don't be so complacent. My Xi'er has already married into Prince Qi's mansion. She will definitely be more prosperous than you in the future."

Ye Wanshu just smiled coldly. She was actually looking forward to Ji Ningxi's ability to turn the tide after entering Prince Qi's Mansion.

Unfortunately, that hope is very slim.

Now, the humiliation suffered by her mother and the injustice suffered by Aunt Qin and Ning Yue's mother and daughter have all been avenged. Ye Wanshu no longer has any attachment to the Ji family and can finally go to Yuezhou with peace of mind.

He walked steadily to the front door of the mansion, and Ji Yuan suddenly caught up with him.

"Wanwan." Unsure how to face his daughter, Ji Yuan nervously walked over to her and asked anxiously, "Wanwan, where are you going?"

"Yuezhou."

Ye Wanshu had no intention of hiding the truth from him. After answering truthfully, she left the house.

Watching her walk further and further away, with no trace of attachment to him or this family, Ji Yuan's eyes felt sore and his vision gradually became blurred.

"Master, Yuezhou is the territory of Prince Yongning. I'm afraid Prince Yongning will harm the young lady." Ting Feng hurriedly reminded him, "Do you need me to bring the young lady back?"

"No need." Ji Yuan shook his head with a gloomy expression. "Take some people to secretly escort the young lady. Don't let her find out. I just hope Wanwan can live the life she wants peacefully."

Others don't understand the master, but Tingfeng knows him very well. It would be a lie to say that he doesn't care about the eldest girl. He just has a hurdle in his heart that he can't get over, and he has never wanted to tell anyone.

"Master, take care of yourself." Tingfeng reminded him and hurried back to the yard to pack his luggage.

Ji Yuan looked at Ye Wanshu's receding back dejectedly for a long time before he regained his composure and returned home.

Ye Wanshu accompanied Qin Chulin to transport Qin Yi Niang's coffin to Ji Ningyue's burial place. She buried the mother and daughter together and did not return to the city until dawn the next day.

Along the way, Qin Chulin remained silent.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly uttered a few words: "Big sister, thank you for avenging my aunt and sister Yue."

Looking at his tired little eyes and thinking of Ning Yue's death, Ye Wanshu felt particularly uncomfortable.

"I owe you this." Holding Qin Chulin's tender little hand, she said solemnly, "Chulin, just follow me from now on. I won't let anyone bully you again."

"Okay." Qin Chulin nodded: "When I grow up, I will also protect big sister well."

Looking at his clear and clean eyes, Ye Wanshu touched the top of his head and smiled gently.

Looking at how skinny he is, I'm afraid he has suffered a lot in the Ji family over the years.

She had lived for two lifetimes but had never experienced the joy of raising a child. Now that she had this little guy, going to Yuezhou had brought her a lot more fun.

After opening the conversation, the two chatted for a while in the carriage. Just when they felt the atmosphere in the carriage had become a lot more relaxed, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"My dear cousin, today is the day when the results of the Spring Examination are announced. There are quite a few people gathered on Changle Street."

Qiuli leaned over to the car window, lifted the curtain, and said, "I heard that the top scholar is about to parade through Changle Street. I'm afraid he won't be able to get through for a while."

"The top scholar is parading through the streets?"

Ye Wanshu almost forgot that the results of the Spring Examination were announced today. She suddenly remembered that her father had said that day that he would choose a husband for her, and she didn't know who the top scorer would be.

She always felt that her horoscope was in conflict with Changle Street, and she would run into trouble every time she came to Changle Street. Seeing that the Duke's Mansion was just across the street, she really didn't want to be stuck here.

"Chu Lin, let's go downstairs and take a walk."

Ye Wanshu led Qin Chulin out of the carriage and saw from a distance a young man in green riding a tall horse, surrounded by a crowd, coming towards them.

The more I looked at it carefully, the more familiar the face seemed.

The young man was riding on his horse, accepting everyone's congratulations while looking around absent-mindedly. Suddenly, his eyes met Ye Wanshu's, and a bright smile broke out on his face.

"girl."

He shouted at Ye Wanshu, and excitedly jumped off the horse, almost falling to the ground. He was protected by the officials and hurriedly squeezed over here.

Ye Wanshu looked stunned.

When they got closer, Ye Wanshu finally remembered the boy.

"Ji Yunze?" She couldn't help but show joy on her face.

I didn't expect that he actually passed the high school entrance exam and was the top scorer. He does have some skills.

Just as Ji Yunze was about to step forward, he was suddenly stopped by a group of people.

The leader smiled in a very flattering manner and bowed to him with great courtesy.

"Master Ji, I am the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. My daughter is sixteen years old and is waiting to be married. I have come here today to invite you to my house for a chat. Would you mind making this a favor?"
