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

Chapter 126 Everything is ready, just waiting for tonight

"Brother, I will go to the Duke's Mansion with you."

Wei Luoyan frowned, "What are you going to do? Don't mess with me."

"Brother, don't you want to marry Ji Yunchu? I am also Ji Yunchu's close friend, so I can say something nice to her."

Wei Yanyue secretly thought that if her brother married Ji Yunchu, his temper might soften and he would no longer oppose her and Shen Jing.

Upon hearing this, Wei Luoyan glanced at Wei Yanyue.

"If you can persuade her to change her mind, it will save me a lot of trouble. Let's go."

Shuda went to the clothing store and bought a plain dress for Wei Yanyue.

Wei Yanyue put on plain clothes in the carriage and followed Wei Luoyan into the Duke's Mansion. Unexpectedly, she saw Shen Jing, whom she had been thinking about.

She was pleasantly surprised and felt that the trip was not in vain.

Perhaps it was because Wei Yanyue's eyes were too straightforward, Ji Anyu noticed it and bumped Shen Jing with his elbow.

"Husband, your peach blossom is here." Ji Anyu pointed at Wei Yanyue with a pursed mouth.

Shen Jing was full of doubts. He looked over as Ji Anyu pointed out. When he saw Wei Yanyue, he looked displeased.

"Madam, are you jealous?" Shen Jing gently touched Ji Anyu's arm, "My only romantic partner is you, Madam."

Wei Yanyue saw Ji Anyu and Shen Jing with their heads close together, not knowing what they were whispering about, and felt sour and bitter in her heart.

She was doing two things at the same time: following Wei Luoyan to burn incense, and kneeling beside Ji Yunchu with Wei Luoyan, asking about Ji Yunchu's well-being.

"Yunchu, although the Duke is gone, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to Nanhou Mansion and ask us for help."

"Thank you, Master Wei and Miss Wei."

Ji Yunchu nodded politely. She knew that Wei Luoyan was interested in her, but she didn't want to expose it. She kept Wei Luoyan in suspense to leave a way out for herself.

Wei Luoyan looked at Ji Yunchu with affection.

"Yunchu, I have something to tell you."

"There are too many people here, let's talk about it later." Ji Yunchu knew that there were many spies today, so she didn't dare to meet Wei Luoyan alone.

Wei Luoyan was unwilling to give up and burned paper money silently.

Wei Yanyue took advantage of Wei Luoyan's inattention and secretly ran to Shen Jing's side.

"Prince." Wei Yanyue looked at Shen Jing with red eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Shen Jing looked straight ahead and kept burning paper money in his hands.

Ji Anyu saw that Wei Yanyue was deliberately ignoring her, and she raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically.

"Miss Wei, you are such a sentimental person. You cried so sadly when the Duke passed away."

"I'm not crying for the Duke." Wei Yanyue rolled her eyes at Ji Anyu.

"Oh~ Miss Wei came to the Duke's Mansion to pay her respects. If she wasn't crying for the Duke, then who was she crying for? Could it be that the Nanhou Mansion is also going to hold a funeral?"

"You!" Wei Yanyue stamped her feet in anger, "Prince, look at Ji Anyu, she is just a bitch with a vicious mouth! It's really a shame for our ancestors for her to be the Crown Prince's consort."

Shen Jing said coldly, "The marriage was granted by the Emperor. If Miss Wei is dissatisfied, she can go to the Emperor. Why vent her resentment on this prince's new wife? This prince is very satisfied with An Yu. Instead of caring about this prince's family affairs, Miss Wei should go home and prepare for her wedding with Lin Jinhu."

Wei Yanyue was so hit by Shen Jing's cold words that she almost lost her balance.

"Prince, can you bear to see me marry Lin Jinhu? He is a gambler."

"Who you marry has nothing to do with me. Don't get in my way in the future. If you say something bad to hurt the princess again, I will never forgive you!"

Wei Yanyue's face turned pale and she burst into tears. "We knew each other first, so why should she marry you? I..."

Shen Jing interrupted Wei Yanyue's words without mercy.

"Miss Wei, please respect yourself! I don't know you at all, so don't say anything that might lead to misunderstanding, lest you upset my new bride and damage my reputation." Wei Yanyue stared at Shen Jing in a daze, tears streaming down her face, until Wei Luoyan felt embarrassed and sent someone to take her away.

As soon as the people from Nanhou Mansion left the mourning hall, Ji Anyu suddenly felt refreshed.

As evening approached, Ji Anyu touched his hungry stomach.

"Ah Jing, I want to eat the noodles you cooked."

"Okay, wait for me." Shen Jing put down the paper money in his hand, wiped his hands with a handkerchief and went out, asking Qing Wu to stay with Ji Anyu and protect her.

Those who came to pay their respects went home one after another. The wailing Ji Xiuyi saw that everyone else had left, so he patted his sleeves and took Deng Huajie and Ji Qinqin back to the house to eat.

Half an hour later, Ji Yunchu saw that Shen Jing did not show up, and thought that Shen Jing had left the Duke's Mansion first, so she smiled contemptuously.

"Sister, it seems that the prince doesn't treat you well. Being the prince's consort may seem glamorous on the surface, but in reality... Oh, sister, you should make plans for yourself as soon as possible."

Ji Anyu could tell that Ji Yunchu was gloating, and she responded with ease.

"Thank you Miss Ji for caring about me so much. In fact, I am more worried about Miss Ji's marriage. You can't get married during the three years of mourning. Tsk tsk tsk ~ I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will wait for you for three years?"

Ji Yunchu was hit right in the weak spot and had an ugly expression on her face. She knew very well what the prince was thinking. The prince must be very happy at this moment.

Zhusha walked into the mourning hall and respectfully invited Ji Anyu to have his meal in the pavilion outside.

Seeing this, Qing Wu helped Ji Anyu up.

Ji Anyu raised the corner of her mouth provocatively, "Oh, the prince asked me to have dinner with him, Miss Ji, you kneel down first, we will be back soon."

Ji Yunchu was so angry that her jaw clenched. She glared at Ji Anyu and his group as they left.

"Miss, the food is ready. I'll kneel for you." Yuemei said in fear and trepidation.

Ji Yunchu twisted Yuemei's ear in anger, "You stupid girl! You don't even know how to help me up? You've been a maid for so long, and you don't even have this much tact."

Yuemei reluctantly helped Ji Yunchu up.

After Ji Yunchu stood firmly on his feet, he caught a glimpse of Yuemei's timid look and pushed Yuemei hard.

"waste!"

Ji Yunchu flicked her sleeves and went out. Passing by the pavilion, she happened to see Shen Jing handing Ji Anyu a piece of meat.

"Come, ma'am, try what I've cooked today and see if it suits your taste."

Ji Yunchu clenched her fists in jealousy. She didn't expect that the romantic Shen Jing would be so nice to Ji Anyu.

She sneered. What’s the use of a good man if he has a short life? He is just a romantic thing that will pass away in a flash.

Ji Anyu saw Ji Yunchu out of the corner of his eye and said in a generous manner.

"I didn't realize Miss Ji had a habit of staring at people eating. Can Miss Ji see clearly standing so far away? Why don't you sit next to me and watch?"

The servant's eyes secretly fell on Ji Yunchu. Ji Yunchu was angry and embarrassed, so she turned around and left.

When Ji Anyu saw the annoying person leave, she turned around and looked at Shen Jing eating noodles elegantly.

"Ah Jing, is Ya Yan ready?"

"Everything is ready, just waiting for tonight."

Ji Anyu nodded uneasily and quickened his hand movements.

At night, Ji Qinqin had no choice but to come to keep vigil because of the prince. Seeing Ji Yunchu, Ji Anyu and the others were there, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If she had stayed here alone, she would have been quite scared.

She knelt for a while, her head gradually felt dizzy, and she fell asleep unknowingly.

Ji Anyu looked around and saw that everyone was asleep, so he signaled Qing Wu and Zhu Sha to go outside and guard.
