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

Chapter 9: Angry at the Unfaithful Man
When Ji Xiuxu came to pick her up, she was in a mess.

I was sad that I was bullied by beggars and lost my intact leg. I was still in a depressed mood and had no mood to go shopping.

Seeing how miserable she was and how her leg couldn't be cured no matter who treated it, Ji Xiuxu gave up on her completely and even despised her. At one point, he didn't want to take her back to the Duke's Mansion.

Now that Ji Xiuxu is so generous, Ji Anyu doesn't want to be polite to him.

After her dowry in her previous life was taken away, she was left penniless, unable to move, and unable to even afford to see a doctor.

Ji Anyu specially picked out three expensive head ornaments.

While Ji Xiuxu was paying, Ji Anyu accidentally took a glance and saw a golden hairpin inlaid with red jade in the shop opposite.

She walked over and just reached out to pick it up when a man suddenly rushed over to her side.

"Girl, I want this hairpin."

It was obvious that he was the first to see it, but his purse was left at the inn. He just ran back to get his purse, and in that short while, the golden hairpin that he liked was almost bought by someone else.

When Ji Anyu heard the familiar voice, his mind suddenly went blank.

Why is Wei Luoyan here?
The miserable life in Nanhou Mansion flashed through his mind like a passing scene.

She was deserted by her friends and relatives and married into Nanhou Mansion with the utmost sincerity. However, not only did she not receive respect from Wei Luoyan, but she was also bullied by her mother-in-law.

The child was just born and she hadn't even held him in her arms before Wei Luoyan's sister and cousin threw him to death in front of her.

Later, she discovered that Wei Luoyan liked Ji Yunchu, who was about to become the Crown Princess, and the dark room in his study was filled with Ji Yunchu's portraits.

Although she was sad, she did not tell anyone else and kept it to herself.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, Wei Luoyan sent someone to make her drink a mute drug.

Not long after, Wei Luoyan and Ji Yunchu slept together, and she happened to see them. She was framed by Wei Luoyan and Ji Yunchu for adultery, and she was speechless.

She was lashed 50 times and has been bedridden ever since.

Ji Yunchu was afraid that the Nanhou family was not "satisfied" enough, so she had the idiots brought to the capital and tortured Ji Anyu for half a month.

In the end, Ji Yunchu set fire to Ji Anyu on the pretext of freeing him.

Ji Anyu, who was only 18 years old, was burned by fire. No doctor was available to treat him and he eventually died in bed.

Wei Luoyan thought Ji Anyu didn't hear him, so he emphasized it again.

"Girl, I'm interested in this golden hairpin first. I see that your clothes are made of rough material and your family probably doesn't have much money. You're still young and inexperienced, so you don't know how expensive this hairpin is. I advise you to give it to me."

As Wei Luoyan spoke, his eyes and eyebrows showed arrogance.

"I'm doing you a favor reluctantly. Except for the golden hairpin in your hand, you can choose any other hairpins and hairpins here. I'll pay for them."

Ji Anyu clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and suppressed her strong hatred, trying hard to restrain her hands from stabbing Wei Luoyan to death.

Wei Luoyan looked at the other person's slightly familiar profile and said impatiently.

"Hey, are you deaf? Or are you just pretending to be dumb? What does it mean that you've been ignoring me for so long?"

He didn't care about the passers-by who were watching the fun and spoke in a fierce tone.

"I told you to put it down! You are shameless and you dare to steal my things?"

Ji Anyu turned towards Wei Luoyan, and only then did Wei Luoyan see Ji Anyu's face clearly.

"Ah! You you..." Wei Luoyan spoke incoherently, with guilt and fear flashing in his eyes.

He had just been reborn, and his impression of Ji Anyu was still stuck on the moment when Ji Anyu was burned to death.

To be honest, when he saw Ji Anyu screaming miserably, he regretted not stopping Ji Yunchu.

After Ji Anyu's death, that heart-wrenching scream seemed to linger on the roof beams, lingering for a long time, making the Nanhou Mansion gloomy and eerie.

They had to ask a master to hold a grand funeral so that the whole capital knew about Ji Anyu's situation.

Outsiders look at everyone who comes out of Nanhou Mansion as if they were a murderer, and no one can stand it.

Wei Luoyan couldn't help but blame Ji Yunchu. If he wanted to kill Ji Anyu, why did he have to go to Nanhou Mansion?
Just take the person to the suburbs and burn him there, out of sight and out of mind.

Ji Anyu was shocked and confused when he saw Wei Luoyan.

In this life, she met Wei Luoyan for the first time, but why did Wei Luoyan seem to have known her for a long time?

Wei Luoyan's weird look seemed like he was afraid that she would come to him to seek revenge.

Ji Anyu repeated "pay with my life" several times in his mind, and suddenly he understood.

It turns out that he was also reborn.

Haha, no wonder Wei Luoyan looked like he saw a ghost, his face turned pale and his body trembled.

Ji Anyu pretended not to understand the meaning of Wei Luoyan's eyes.

Not only did she not put down the golden hairpin in her hand, but she also put it on her head.

"Sir, you think you're so great just because you have some money? Who said I can't afford it? Don't look down on others. And I see you're dressed well, what do you mean by letting me choose? Do you know what etiquette is?"

"Idiot! Men and women should not touch each other, and you and I don't know each other. Your behavior is like private communication. I didn't expect that you, a grown man, would be so petty. You can't win against me, so you want to ruin my reputation."

Ji Anyu's crazy roar, coupled with her bright and lively eyes, made Wei Luoyan dazed for a moment.

He always thought that Ji Anyu was a timid person. In front of him, Ji Anyu basically kept her head down and was obedient, and never contradicted him.

"What's going on? An Yu, who bullied you?"

Ji Xiuxu paid the money and arranged for Daduan to do the work before coming over, just in time to see Ji Anyu being rude to someone.

He was worrying about making up to Ji Anyu, and it happened that Ji Anyu was bullied, so he stood in front of Ji Anyu without saying a word.

"What are you going to do, kid?"

Wei Luoyan was stunned when he saw Ji Xiuxu. Ji Xiuxu actually took Ji Anyu back to the Duke's Mansion earlier than in his previous life.

He likes Ji Yunchu and doesn't want to offend his future father-in-law.

"I'm sorry, I was rude and it was all a misunderstanding." Wei Luoyan said in a gentle and humble tone.

Ji Xiuxu was annoyed by Wei Luoyan's attitude.

After all, he had seen a lot of storms and was able to adjust himself quickly.

"It doesn't matter."

Ji Anyu knew Wei Luoyan’s dirty thoughts and sneered without saying anything.

Even if Wei Luoyan tries to please Ji Yunchu again, Ji Yunchu will never like Wei Luoyan unless Wei Luoyan is the prince who will become the emperor in the future.

Ji Xiuxu turned around and looked at Ji Anyu's clothes.

People who didn’t know that Ji Anyu was the legitimate daughter of the Duke’s Mansion thought that Ji Anyu was just a commoner.

Ji Xiuxu couldn't help but feel annoyed. It was his negligence. He left in a hurry and forgot to ask someone to prepare high-quality clothes for Ji Anyu.

If he had put more effort into it, Ji Anyu wouldn't have been looked down upon.

"Anyu, don't just focus on the headgear. See if there is any cloth you like. Daddy will ask someone to make you some clothes overnight."

Ji Xiuxu looked down and saw a pair of old, dusty shoes.

"And make a few more pairs of shoes and socks!"

Ji Anyu lowered her head obediently.

"Thank you, Dad. I actually have a lot of clothes, they're just a little old. The important thing is that I've worn them for two or three years and they're not torn yet. I can continue to wear them. Dad, please don't waste your money on me."

Ji Xiuxu felt even more distressed when he heard this.
