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

Chapter 3: Going to the Government
Wang Yaxi woke up from her sleep with surprise, and her chest felt heavy. She had a premonition that something was wrong, so she quickly put on her clothes and ran out to see what was going on. She saw that her son's wedding room was on fire and shouted in panic.

"Master, something big has happened! Come quickly, put out the fire!" If she had known there would be a fire, she should not have listened to her son and called the servants away.

Wu Fengqi was stunned when he saw this.

The fire was so huge that there was no possibility of survival.

His only incense is gone!

Wang Yaxi ran over and saw Ji Anyu holding a wooden basin. The wedding dress that should have made her happy now seemed particularly glaring in her eyes.

"Bitch, you jinx, I married you and you killed my son! Give me my son back!"

Wang Yaxi's eyes were red. She rolled up her sleeves and raised her hand to hit Ji Anyu.

"Humph, your son's death has nothing to do with me."

Ji Anyu fought back without giving in.

The two men wrestled with each other and the scene was chaotic for a while. The maids and old women were busy putting out the fire and no one stepped forward to stop them.

When Wu Fengqi saw his son in the fire and his wife fighting with his daughter-in-law nearby, his legs and feet went weak and he fell to the ground and burst into tears.

"My family is unfortunate."

After a while, Wang Yaxi's face was scratched by Ji Anyu, and her whole body was covered with bruises.

Zhusha was stunned again and sighed.

"My Lord, Miss Ji is quite fierce. Fortunately, she is not marrying into our Prince Zhong's Mansion."

Shen Jing didn't say anything, but stared at Ji Anyu silently. He didn't pay attention to her before, but now when he looked at Ji Anyu carefully, he felt that her features looked very familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

Wang Yaxi saw that she couldn't beat Ji Anyu, so she started to throw a tantrum.

"You money-loser, I'm going to sue you and put you in jail! You killed my son, your life is over!"

Ji Anyu sneered: "Okay! See you at the government office!"

She shook off the dust on her body, and without looking back ran to the government office to beat the drum and appeal for justice.

Wang Yaxi was stunned. She didn't expect Ji Anyu really went there.

They were an ordinary family with no power or influence, and when they saw the officials, they spoke haltingly.

She had no evidence to prove that her son died at the hands of Ji Anyu, but when she thought of her son's unclear death on their wedding night, her back straightened instantly, and she wanted to avenge her son!
"Sir, you have to take care of my son. He was fine during the day, but he was gone at night. It must be this vicious woman who thought my son was stupid and was resentful, so she killed my son."

Wang Yaxi cried with snot and tears.

The elderly send off the young, which arouses everyone's pity.

Ji Anyu's adoptive mother Lin Yunfang rushed to the court upon hearing the news. When she heard Wang Yaxi's words, she was afraid that she would be implicated, so she spoke up in a righteous manner.

"Sir, Ji Anyu was adopted by me. What she did has nothing to do with us."

She turned her head to look at Ji Anyu and spoke righteously.

"Ji Anyu, I don't have an adopted daughter as vicious as you. From now on, we are done with each other, whether alive or dead, and we have nothing to do with each other anymore."

Lin Yunfang secretly thought that Ji Anyu had killed someone and was beheaded by the government.

She pretended not to know Ji Anyu's identity. The Duke couldn't find her alive and couldn't do anything to her.

After all, ignorance is not a crime, so she can't be blamed for standing idly by.

Ji Anyu seemed to be deeply shocked and burst into tears.

"Mother, are you telling the truth? Do you really not want me anymore?"

Lin Yunfang sneered, "Who would dare to marry a girl with a vicious heart like you? Hurry up and plead guilty, sign the pledge, and face the punishment."

Ji Anyu wiped the tears from her face and nodded. This was a wise move, and it would save her from having to sever the relationship. From now on, her adoptive mother would no longer be able to use filial piety to pester her.

The county magistrate waited impatiently for them to finish speaking and slammed the gavel in his hand.

"Ji Anyu, do you have anything to say?"

"Sir, I am innocent!" Ji Anyu said calmly.

"Hmph! You are not innocent at all! You are the murderer." Wang Yaxi retorted, wishing she could tear Ji Anyu's mouth apart.

The gavel was slammed hard again.

"Quiet, Ji Anyu, please continue."

"Yes." Ji Anyu bowed politely and said in a heavy tone.

"After my husband and I drank our wedding wine, a beggar came from nowhere and ran into our room to rob us. He took a fancy to my gold hairpin, but I refused, so he took it away and stabbed me."

Ji Anyu showed her injured arm to everyone.

"My husband was also angry when he saw this, and then the two of them started fighting, and accidentally knocked over the candle flame. When we found out, the fire was already very big. I was scared, so I ran out to call for help to put out the fire."

Ji Anyu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, lowered her head and cried.

"Bitch, you still have the nerve to cry?" Wang Yaxi glared, "You ran out alone, why didn't you bring my son out? You watched my son die in the fire."

"My husband was knocked to the ground by the beggars. Although he was a fool, he was also an adult man. I... I couldn't move him. I just wanted to go out and find someone to help, but the fire was getting bigger and bigger..."

Wang Yaxi's eyes moved slightly and she shouted loudly.

"You're lying! How could I not know there was a beggar in my house? You must have brought the beggar here. It was you who killed my son. I want your life in exchange for mine."

She really couldn't bear to see Ji Anyu living happily while her son was sleeping in the ground.

Ji Anyu stared at Wang Yaxi sideways, and his cold gaze made Wang Yaxi tremble.

Don’t think that she doesn’t know that Wang Yaxi is behind this. What can a fool accomplish?

There must be someone helping behind the scenes, it's all their own fault!
"Sir, since my mother-in-law said that the beggar was arranged by me, you might as well check who has contacted the beggar. The master behind the scenes must be the murderer. I beg you to thoroughly investigate this case and give justice to my husband!"

Wang Yaxi lowered her head guiltily. She now believed that the fire was an accident.

The day before the wedding, her son did mention the beggar to her and asked her not to stop the beggar from coming in and to ask all the servants outside the bridal chamber to leave.

As for who helped her son find the beggar, she had no idea.

The county magistrate raised the gavel and was about to order the constable to investigate the beggar, when someone whispered in his ear.

Seeing the county magistrate's shocked face, Ji Anyu couldn't help but sneer.

Even if the coroner examined the body, he couldn't find anything wrong with her.

The drugs and beggars in the wedding wine were all prepared by Ji Yunchu, who was far away in the Duke's Mansion in the capital. If the government wanted to investigate, it would be strange if Ji Yunchu was not panicked.

The county magistrate looked at Ji Anyu with sympathy. He was a low-ranking official with little power. Ji Anyu had offended the Duke's Mansion, and he had no way to give Ji Anyu justice.

"Ahem, this official just learned that the beggar broke into the bridal chamber to steal money and kill people. Since the fire was caused by a fight between Wu Anhao and the beggar, this case has nothing to do with Ji Anyu. You can go home and take care of the aftermath."

Wang Yaxi knew that she was in the wrong, and was afraid that if she continued the investigation, her son's inhumane behavior would be exposed, and she would live in ridicule for the rest of her life.

"Sir, I have something to say."

"Ji Anyu, the case has been settled. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

Let's stop here. If we continue investigating, it will be difficult to explain to the Duke's Mansion.
