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

Chapter 107 You still have some conscience

Ji Anyu was awakened by thirst and suddenly remembered that she was still in the mountains. She opened her eyes immediately and was stunned when she saw the campfire in front of her.

Whose hands did she fall into?

Ji Anyu sat up hurriedly, feeling dizzy.

Suddenly someone came in.

"you're awake."

Ji Anyu looked at the person who came, "Xu Yuyan, why are you here? You saved me?"

"It's a long story."

Xu Yuyan dejectedly put the prepared pheasant into the fire to roast.

Only then did Ji Anyu notice that Xu Yuyan was in mourning. She looked at him in surprise for a moment.

She wanted to ask Xu Yuyan why he was wearing mourning clothes, but she couldn't open her mouth to ask. She looked around at the furnishings around her.

"Is this where you stay? Don't you live in the Taifu Mansion?"

"Well, living under someone else's roof is not easy." Although the Taifu Mansion treated him very well.

Xu Yuyan smiled bitterly, "I lived in the Taifu Mansion before because my mother was alive. She was frail and sickly, and I didn't want her to suffer. Now that my mother has passed away, I don't need to continue living in the Taifu Mansion."

Ji Anyu sighed secretly, it was just as she thought.

She asked cautiously: "Um... Wei Luoyan didn't give your mother the antidote?"

"I gave it to you." Xu Yuyan blinked away the bitterness in his eyes.

"Unfortunately, my mother was in poor health to begin with. She had just recovered from her illness before being poisoned, but then she was tortured by the poison for a while, and then caught a cold. She became seriously ill and her vitality was greatly damaged. Although she took the antidote, she couldn't make it, and eventually left me."

Xu Yuyan stared at the burning flames, hatred flashed across his eyes. A gentleman's revenge is never too late, ten years later. He can take his time.

Ji Anyu didn't know how to comfort Xu Yuyan.

"Mr. Xu, I am deeply sorry for the loss."

"It's okay. I've accepted the fact. I buried my mother in Dongshan, and I will be able to pay tribute to her often in the future."

Ji Anyu's eyes flickered. After hearing what Xu Yuyan said, he thought that Xu Yuyan was confident of passing the exam.

"Master Xu, is this Dongshan?"

Xu Yuyan concealed his hatred and looked at his house leisurely.

"After my mother was buried in Dongshan, I passed by here accidentally, so I bought it with a hunter and planned to study here." It was quiet here and no one disturbed him.

"But you live in the mountains, it's very inconvenient, how long does it take to go out to buy something?"

"It's okay. I rarely go out, and I've already bought everything I need."

"What if you encounter a jackal in the mountains?"

"I have asked the hunter for advice. He taught me a lot. Sometimes he would go hunting in the mountains. The two pheasants in the fire were the ones I caught alive yesterday."

Ji Anyu looked at the pheasant that had been cleaned and felt a little embarrassed.

If she hadn't been there, Xu Yuyan would never have killed the two pheasants. What she ate was Xu Yuyan's food for the next few days.

"Mr. Xu, you saved me. I... when I get back, I will take care of all the rice and flour you have here."

If she gave him money, Xu Yuyan would definitely not want to accept it, and it might even make Xu Yuyan angry.

Xu Yuyan smiled lightly, "No need, it's just a piece of cake. You saved me last time, too, so we're even."

"That's different." Ji Anyu was a little embarrassed. Last time she asked Xu Yuyan for money.

"Anyway, I owe you this time. I'll feel uneasy if I don't help you."

Seeing Ji Anyu clutching the quilt tightly, Xu Yuyan understood the grudge in Ji Anyu's heart and smiled.

"Then I'll just owe you the money for now."

Ji Anyu suddenly remembered where Xu Yuyan got so much money for her. "Mr. Xu, I'll just say what I want to say, please don't mind."

"Miss Ji, please feel free to speak." Xu Yuyan turned the pheasant over.

"Where did you get the silver you gave me before? If you borrowed it from someone else, I will return it to you."

"No need, let the past be the past."

Xu Yuyan didn't want Ji Anyu to know that he was borrowing money from the Taifu Mansion.

Seeing that Xu Yuyan didn't want to talk about this, Ji Anyu smiled and nodded, then turned to look outside.

"Master Xu, it's getting late. I want to go down the mountain now."

She was worried that Shen Jing would fall into the trap, and wanted to rush to Shen Jing immediately to stop him.

"You are injured. It's not easy to get down the mountain."

Xu Yuyan thought Ji Anyu took the difference between men and women into consideration, as he knew that Ji Anyu was engaged to Master Shen.

"Miss Ji Er, you... don't worry, I won't do anything rash. You sleep here and I'll guard the door. I won't say a word about the fact that you and I are in the same room."

Ji Anyu was extremely anxious. "No, I'm telling you the truth. The reason I came to Dongshan was because Wei Songlin knocked me out. He wanted to use me as bait to assassinate Shen Jing."

"What!" Xu Yuyan was shocked. No wonder he met Ji Anyu in the mountains. "I thought the Duke's Mansion was holding a ancestor worship ceremony and Miss Ji got lost unintentionally."

"So I have to find Shen Jing now, otherwise his life will be in danger."

"But you are injured now, and the mountain road is very slippery and difficult to walk on. The sun is about to set, and there are many wild animals in the mountains."

Ji Anyu fell silent. She wanted to save Shen Jing, but she didn't want to be eaten by the beast.

Xu Yuyan didn't know that Ji Anyu had decided not to go down the mountain, so he continued to persuade him.

"Miss Ji, Master Shen is not an ordinary person. He has many assassins around him. It is not easy for Wei Songlin to assassinate him. You should relax and stay here to recover. Tomorrow, I will send you back to the capital."

"Well, Master Xu, I think you are right. I am a weak woman who doesn't know martial arts, so I can't help Shen Jing in any way."

Xu Yuyan opened his mouth in surprise and found that Ji Anyu suddenly didn't want to go down the mountain.

He could see that Ji Anyu was stubborn and was prepared to persuade him, but he didn't expect Ji Anyu to understand so quickly.

"Miss Ji, the assassination of Master Shen may be a good thing for you. After all, Master Shen is not in good health. He and you are bound by the imperial decree. If he is gone, you will no longer be bound by the imperial decree and will be free again."

Ji Anyu forced a smile, "Actually, I was ready to marry him. I was not used to his death. Shen Jing helped me a lot."

"You still have some conscience."

Ji Anyu and Xu Yuyan's faces changed drastically and they turned back to look outside.

Shen Jing entered the room and saw Ji Anyu lying on a man's bed. He felt unhappy, but he did not get angry because Ji Anyu was injured.

"Ah Jing! You actually found this!"

Ji Anyu's eyes fell on Shen Jing's handsome face with surprise, then she moved her gaze down to see Shen Jing's dusty clothes, then she looked up at Shen Jing's messy hair, and her heart ached.

Xu Yuyan reacted, stood up nervously and saluted Shen Jing.

"Young Master." His eyes followed Shen Jing to Ji Anyu and he hurriedly explained.

"My Lord, Miss Ji was injured in the mountains and happened to meet me. I had no choice but to bring her back first..."

"Okay, stop talking. I have eyes. Please go out first. An Yu and I have something to talk about."

Xu Yuyan looked back at Ji Anyu in a daze, and suddenly his mind was enlightened.

"I'll go out right now."

After he went out, he found that there were people outside the house. He was stunned and those people were setting up camp in full swing.

How many people were brought up the mountain?
