The Reborn Girl Wants to Kill Me

Chapter 222 The General Has No Son 6

"Let me see what this blind thief looks like—"

Yun Maolin's voice stopped abruptly when he saw the little thief's appearance clearly.

His cousin is the crown prince, so he is very familiar with the royal family, especially the princes.

The face under the veil is none other than the fifth prince Ling Feng.

Yun Maolin threw the handkerchief back at Ling Feng's face in disgust. "Brother Ji, this thief doesn't look like an ordinary thief. Why don't we hand him over to the Ministry of Justice and see what he wants to do by coming to someone else's house in the middle of the night?"

He once thought that Ling Feng was a good person, but ever since his cousin the prince told him that Ling Feng secretly hid the dragon robe in his study, he became extremely wary of Ling Feng.

I'm not afraid of open confrontation, but I'm afraid of people who appear honest but do bad things behind the scenes.

Chai Duo also saw Ling Feng's face clearly. Taking advantage of his drunkenness, he also shouted that he should send the man to the Ministry of Justice.

Ji Yanli responded, "Alright! Send him to the Ministry of Justice! This thief... really thought this general couldn't lift a sword after leaving the battlefield. Come! Take him to the Ministry of Justice and tell Lord Li to have a thorough trial! Let's see what this thief is up to."

The servants carried the unconscious Ling Feng away. Yun Maolin and Chai Duo looked at each other, yawned and said goodbye to Ji Yanli, saying that they would come to his place for a drink next time.

Ji Yanli waved his hand.

After the two left the mansion, Yun Maolin went directly to the Prince's Mansion, and Chai Duo went to another place.

Tonight, many people got out of bed, but Ji Yanli washed up, covered himself with the quilt and slept soundly.

The next morning at court, the emperor was furious.

Ling Feng has already left the Ministry of Justice. After all, his face is there, and the Ministry of Justice cannot really treat him as a petty thief.

He knelt in the hall, head bowed and silent.

The emperor threw all the impeachment memorials at him, pointed at him and shouted angrily: "Look, look at what you have done! A prince went to the general's mansion to steal in the middle of the night. What did you want to steal? Ah!"

"Father, I, your son, was drunk and took the wrong road. It was really unintentional."

"Wu Xin? Wu Xin, you're wearing a nightgown. How can you be considered careless? You're very thoughtful!"

The emperor's eyes swept across Ji Yanli's face, and seeing his unconcealed surprise and embarrassment, he lowered his eyes and looked at the kneeling Ling Feng.

"Go back to your house and reflect on your actions. You are not allowed to leave without my permission!"

Ji Yanli knew that the other princes would have prepared a backup plan for Ling Feng's matter, and the rest of the matter had nothing to do with him.

Yan Shuyu also knew that there was a thief in the house, and the thief went straight to the backyard. She suspected that Ling Feng came to find her, but she was also afraid that it was a real thief. However, she had no power as a housekeeper, and it was like someone had covered her ears and eyes, making it difficult for her to find out anything.

Only then did she finally regret handing over the power so easily.

She was still hoping that Ji Yanli would come to her yard on his own initiative, but she didn't expect that she couldn't even see Ji Yanli.

It was not until her period didn't come and she started to retch that she realized she couldn't delay any longer.

That day, she came to Ji Yanli's yard wearing a light gauze dress and was stopped.

She frowned, "Get out of here!"

The servants did not move.

The servants in the general's mansion have been replaced. Before entering the mansion, the first thing Hui Niang told her was that there were only two masters in this mansion, one was the general and the other was the young master.

Before the general went to bed, he had ordered that no one should disturb him, and even if the general's wife came, it was of no use.

Yan Shuyu bit her lip awkwardly and gave her personal maid a look.

The maid misunderstood her and came back to help her walk back. Before leaving, she said sternly: "Let's go, we'll come back tomorrow!"

Yan Shuyu pushed her away and rushed straight into the yard. The servants quickly reached out to stop her, but Yan Shuyu did not dodge or avoid.

"Okay, go ahead and try to stop me. If you touch me, I'll let you know if the general will punish you!"

She took a step forward, and the servant guarding the door took a step back. Yan Shuyu curled her lips, lifted her skirt and rushed in quickly.

Ji Yanli woke up the moment she pushed the door open. Hui Niang rushed over and grabbed Yan Shuyu's arm to pull her away.

"Let me go! You lowly slave! I am the mistress of this mansion, and you, a slave, are so audacious as to dare to raise your claws against me."

Hui Niang had an ugly look on her face, not because she disliked being scolded. She was indeed a servant and had a very good grasp of her position. What she couldn't accept was that she hadn't done what the general had ordered her to do, and someone broke in while the general was resting.

"Ji Yanli! You let your servants humiliate me like this! I am your legitimate wife, are you going to be that ungrateful person who favors his concubine over his wife?"

Ji Yanli was surprised and couldn't help asking, "Ungrateful? How can you say that? What kind of favor have you done me?"

Yan Shuyu: "My father is a fifth-rank official. I was willing to marry you when you hadn't made any military achievements yet and were just a small captain. Isn't this a great favor?"

Ji Yanli sneered: "Is a fifth-rank official a very high position? You are willing to marry me, don't you want to marry someone who has no power and is easy to manipulate, so that it will be easier for you to have secret meetings with others?"

Yan Shuyu was stunned, her heart skipped a beat, and she asked softly, "What did you say?"

Ji Yanli signaled Hui Niang to leave. After the door was closed, Ji Yanli walked forward and took a look at her belly.

"Calculating the time, it's been a month, right?"

Yan Shuyu took a step back suddenly, her hands uncontrollably placed on her stomach, her face stiff and her eyes panicked, yet she pretended to be calm.

"You, what did you say? I don't understand."

Ji Yanli didn't keep anyone in suspense. "It's your child with the Fifth Prince, isn't it?"

He chuckled, but a cold look spread in his eyes. "I hate those who are unfaithful and unclean the most, and I also like to help others achieve their goals. Since you like each other, why not help me make your relationship a success?"

Yan Shuyu was frightened by the expression on his face and turned around to run, but was knocked unconscious by Ji Yanli with a knife. He then tied her up and took her into the space.

That night, a fire broke out in the backyard of the general's mansion. The fire was so fierce that the general's wife was burned to death, and no body was left.

The general's mansion was decorated with white mourning lanterns. When the Yan family came, Ji Yanli took out the letter written by Rong Qing to Yan Shuyu severing ties, and then ordered his men to kick the Yan family out.

He was thinking about when would be the best time to send Yan Shuyu away. After thinking about it, he felt that it would be more appropriate to "send" Yan Shuyu there after the Fifth Prince got into trouble.

This is also for Yan Shuyu's sake. After all, the gap between her status and the Fifth Prince is too big, and now she has become a "dead person". Only when their status is equal can she live a peaceful and good life.

However, Ji Yanli didn't have to wait too long. Just after the seventh day after Yan Shuyu's death, the Fifth Prince's Mansion was surrounded by the imperial guards.

A large number of letters with secret communications with the enemy country, as well as dragon robes, were found in the palace. The emperor was furious and ordered the fifth prince to be demoted to a commoner, tattooed, and exiled to Lingnan.

When the fifth prince was on his way, Ji Yanli exchanged a replacement token in the mall and replaced a concubine who was forcibly abducted from the fifth prince's mansion with Yan Shuyu.

In the eyes of others, Yan Shuyu is just the concubine, but in the eyes of the Fifth Prince, Yan Shuyu still has her original face.
