Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

Half an hour passed, and Lan Yunxi had actually learned a little bit. She was very excited and turned to look at Han Yue, but her thin lips brushed against his lips. His burning gaze left her no room to back down.

Another long kiss came over him, and he slowly turned her around. He kissed her for a while, then gently laid her down on the bed. Lan Yunxi was used to and liked to hold his neck with both hands, which made her feel very safe and at home.

Han Yue wrapped his arms around her waist. The ice silk fabric felt wonderful to the touch. He suppressed his urge to explore what lay beneath, kissed her for a while, then stepped back, supporting himself on his hands at his sides, his eyes slightly red. "Sleep."

Busy lay down on one side and quickly pulled the blanket over Lan Yunxi. The blanket instantly blocked the increasingly intense emotions. He reluctantly caressed her tender, luscious lips. "Don't make a fuss anymore, go to sleep."

Lan Yunxi's hands were clasped tightly together under the covers. "Brother Yue..."

Han Yue seemed to know what she was going to say, and with a smile, he shook his head, interrupting her and pinching her flushed cheek.

The mist slowly settled, revealing just how much a man must love you to be unwilling to hurt you, to be able to stop at the height of their passion. Moved, Lan Yunxi snuggled into his arms through the blanket, holding him tightly. "Can you wait until I fall asleep before you leave?"

"Mmm, go to sleep." A gentle kiss landed on her forehead.

The night was deep, and everything was asleep. The person in bed was also sleeping peacefully, but the man couldn't sleep. He stared intently at the little girl's sleeping face in the dim light.

Quiet and lovely, like a pure white flower that one cannot bear to touch, only wanting to protect.

The stray hairs on her face were brushed aside, and her delicate face was meticulously outlined inch by inch. After a while, she reluctantly and with mixed feelings pulled him into her arms through the blanket.

A dozen minutes later, he got up and left, gently closing the door behind him, and opened the door to Han Guoguo's room.

Han Guoguo thought her brother wouldn't open the door and was already fast asleep in bed.

The next morning, Tang Junyao and Ji Hancheng got up very early. After dressing neatly and going downstairs, they saw Aunt Ji in the living room.

Tang Junyao politely greeted, "Sister-in-law Ji?"

Aunt Ji replied happily, "Young Madam, the Master said you needed someone to take care of you, so I came over. Don't worry, I can take good care of you and the young master."

Tang Junyao politely expressed her gratitude, trusting in Aunt Ji's attentiveness, "Thank you, Aunt Ji."

Aunt Ji wiped her hands on her apron and said, "I'm so happy to have such an important task entrusted to me."

After having breakfast, the two went to the Ji residence to handle some matters. Before going, Ji Hancheng originally wanted to call Han Yue, but then thought better of it, guessing that Xi Xi must have slept in Deep Water Bay last night.

He made a phone call to Xu Mingkai and ordered, "Go to the Han family and bring the person to the Ji residence."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and drove towards the Ji residence.

The Ji family, including the second grandfather, arrived at the Ji residence very early and were waiting for Ji Hancheng and his family. Shen Pei, who was completely unaware of the situation, thought that Tang Junyao, the new bride, was going to serve them tea. Little did he know that this step had been skipped by the doting old man Ji.

Upon seeing them enter, the already dissatisfied second grandfather's face darkened even further. He reprimanded them with displeasure, "Acheng, you still need to teach Yaoyao some manners. We elders have already arrived, but this newlywed daughter-in-law hasn't even arrived yet, making us wait for half an hour. Isn't she putting on airs a bit?"

Ji Hancheng sat down on the other sofa as if he hadn't heard the two old men's words. Old Master Ji also seemed to ignore them, asking with concern, "Has the girl had breakfast?"

Tang Junyao called out, "Grandpa, Mom and Dad, I've eaten and come over." She didn't call out to the two old men's family.

They acted as if they were invisible, which made the two old men even angrier. They snorted and said, "What kind of rules are these?"

Yuan Shu sat down beside her. "Lele is still sleeping. She had so much fun last night that she stayed up a little late."

"Thank you, Mom. You've worked so hard."

Yuan Shu: "Mm."

The genes behind the character "嗯" are indeed powerful.

Ji Hancheng held Tang Junyao's hand with one hand, leaned back on the sofa, and casually looked at the two old men and their family.

Sitting opposite them were Ji Mingyuan, Ji Ting, and Shen Pei, the two old men, the only one missing being Tang Junting.

Ji Mingyuan looked a bit silly, perhaps because he was crippled. He had dark circles under his eyes and a very poor complexion, possibly indicating some psychological issues.

Tang Junyao's first thought was that Ji Mingyuan had gone mad from taking the medication, based on what the maid had told her. She had heard that Ji Mingyuan had been taking traditional Chinese medicine for treatment recently.

Ji Hancheng didn't want to ask any questions, pretending not to see anything, but a knife hidden in his eyes was aimed at the second grandfather. "Second grandfather, have you been thinking about becoming a vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures lately? If not, I have a very good place to recommend to you."

The use of "you" instead of "you" already indicates a lack of respect in the tone.

The two old men were taken aback by the sharp, razor-sharp gaze, but quickly recovered. "What does Acheng mean by this? Why are you being so sarcastic so early in the morning?"

Shen Pei: "That's right, Dad just wants you to teach Yao Yao some manners."

Ji Hancheng retorted, "I don't think there's anything wrong with my wife's rules. Her rules are my rules. At least my wife wouldn't do anything that would harm her own siblings, nor would she have any thoughts of killing. What do you think, Second Grandfather? Is that the truth?"

He then added, "What could be more unruly than murder and arson? There probably isn't, right? What do you think?"

Ji Ting responded calmly, "Yes, that's right."

Shen Pei didn't know what was going on, how they got to talking about murder and arson, and even urged, "It's getting late, we still have to go to the hospital later, Mingyuan is being treated, Yaoyao, hurry up and serve tea."

Yuan Shu looked at Shen Pei with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, her brows slightly furrowed. "Were we notified that we were to be served tea?"

Shen Pei's eyes widened. "Aren't you going to serve tea?"

Yuan Shu said coldly, "Disrespectful."

Shen Pei: "Why didn't you say you weren't going to serve tea earlier? Isn't this causing delays? Besides, what kind of new bride doesn't get served tea upon entering the house?"

Shen Pei rambled on, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Ji Ting: "............."

The second grandfather's face was ashen. He could guess that Ji Hancheng's words had a hidden meaning, and he felt vaguely uneasy. He couldn't get through to any of the bodyguards' phones.

Yuan Shu: "Did I notify you to serve tea? Didn't you come uninvited?"

Shen Pei: "You............"

Old Master Ji was too lazy to watch them argue and felt uncomfortable watching them. He said to Ji Hancheng, who was lazily watching the show, "Bring the people up here, resolve this matter, and let them leave."

Xu Mingkai received a message with the number 1 and dragged the person in. The person's face was covered in bruises, showing that Han's mother's men had hit him quite hard.

The people in the living room couldn't help but gasp when they saw a person whose face was covered in blood and whose clothes were stained with blood.

The two old men could easily tell who this person was, and they pretended to say, "What does this mean? This morning's lack of tea service has brought such an unlucky person into our home."

Ji Hancheng said in a flippant tone, "What bad luck! Isn't this Second Grandfather's personal bodyguard, the one hiding in the shadows? Did I arrest the wrong person?"

The old man stiffened, stubbornly denying anything, "I don't know him, don't try to smear me."

Ji Hancheng didn't want to waste a single moment. He was truly determined to see the coffin before he shed a tear. He gave Xu Mingkai a look, and Xu Mingkai, receiving the signal, immediately took out a voice recorder from his pocket and pressed the button: "You must run over Ji Hang and kill him today. Remember to destroy the evidence. If you don't do it cleanly, you won't be alive either."

Bodyguard: Sir, I'm sorry, I made a mistake.

Second Master: You good-for-nothing! You can't even do this kind of thing right. I could have hit someone and you wouldn't have killed them. What are you good for?

The audio messages played one by one, containing many unspeakable stories. The last message recorded by the bodyguard was about Lele's car accident.

Second Master: I received news that Tang Junyao's child is Ji Hancheng's biological son. Find a way to secretly follow him and find an opportunity to eliminate him. Mingyuan's child must be born before him. As long as the eldest son has no children, the second son must inherit the Ji family.

Bodyguard: Sir, the nanny risked her life to protect that child, I...

The recording included the sound of the old man smashing his phone; he sounded very angry.

After the recording finished playing, the living room fell silent. Ji Tingdu turned to look at his father, "Dad, did you really do all this?"

Seeing that the evidence was irrefutable, the two old men readily admitted it. They never expected that this traitor would record every mission. "It was me. I wanted to break the Ji family's broken rules. What do you mean by the eldest son inheriting the family business? How am I any worse than you, brother? It's just these restrictive family rules that have limited me!"

The bodyguard spoke up, which was considered a meritorious act, "The second master also asked me to find a way to kidnap the young master during the eldest young master's wedding to change the Ji family's position, but for some reason the wedding schedule was changed, and I couldn't get in touch with the young master at all, so the mission failed."

"However, the second master made backup plans and even hired many assassins to ambush at the wedding. If my plan fails, someone will kill Master Ji at the wedding." The bodyguard told everything he knew in order to gain merit.

The wedding ceremony was suddenly changed because Yao Yao was pregnant. Ji Hancheng contacted the emcee overnight, and not many people knew about it. Besides, why would the wedding ceremony need to be announced to so many people?

The two old men showed no sign of realizing they had done anything wrong. Instead, they asked Ji Hancheng about their inner doubts, "Why did you change the process? Were you already wary of me?"

Ji Hancheng's eyes were full of malice. "You probably think too highly of yourself. If I said I feel more sorry for my wife, wouldn't that be a bigger blow to you?"

Ji Hang, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up and sighed, "Uncle, actually, from the time I had the accident until I woke up, Father had spoken to me. You used your broken leg to prove your innocence, and we were willing to believe it and didn't want to pursue the matter any further. Father has seen all the little tricks you've been up to over the years, but since you haven't done anything heinous, Father has turned a blind eye. It's just that we're following Grandpa's instructions."

"You shouldn't have targeted the child again, or Acheng. I never thought this had anything to do with you. We stopped pursuing it because we still had some hope for you. I never imagined you would be so ruthless. You've left us with nowhere to turn. You even drove the driver of the car accident to suicide. How many lives are on your shoulders? Do you sleep soundly at night?"

Ji Hang wiped away his tears. "Lele is so young. What did Yao Yao's nanny do to you that you took their lives? You've committed a sin, and the sins you committed have been repaid on your descendants. Do you think your grandson is ruined? Don't you understand? No one just accepts being beaten without fighting back."

Lan Yunchen is ruthless and has always been protective of his own. He immediately crippled the second old man's family, cutting off their hopes.

Yuan Shu looked at her excited husband, patted him on the back, and said, "You take your father upstairs. Acheng and I will handle things here."

Ji Hang and Grandpa Ji didn't want to watch anymore. He helped Grandpa Ji upstairs. He had shown compassion when his younger brother cut off his own leg, but now that he saw the real evidence, he seemed to have aged a lot. He felt guilty towards Ji Hang, his eyes were blurry, and his steps were no longer agile.

Tang Junyao turned her head to look, then looked away with heartache. Kindness given to someone without conscience is like feeding a dog. No, feeding a dog might at least teach it right from wrong.

Then Xu Mingkai projected a video from his phone onto the TV in the living room. It showed Lele playing alone in the living room while Shen Pei secretly sat down and hit Xiaoyouzi several times. The little girl gave her a cold look, showing no fear whatsoever.

Shen Pei got even angrier and hit her again. Then Xiao Youzi turned around and glared at her angrily. A moment later, Yuan Shu came out of the kitchen with strawberries. The whole process took only a few minutes. When Yuan Shu came out, Shen Pei glared at the maid in the living room, implying that she should try talking nonsense.

Before Tang Junyao could make a move, Yuan Shu had already stood up. A loud slap rang out in the living room, followed by another, and another. "We're even. You hit my grandson three times, and I'll hit you three times back. From now on, your family is not allowed to set foot in the Ji residence. Otherwise, I, Yuan Shu, will be the first to beat you out with sticks."

"Remember this, Ji Ting? You can see who's right and who's wrong today. From now on, we shouldn't have any dealings with each other. A-Cheng, give the order."

"OK."

When Tang Junyao first saw her mother-in-law, who was furious and intimidating, she wasn't afraid; instead, she found her very cool.

The police arrived within minutes and took the two old men away with arrest warrants. Shen Pei was also taken away because Ji Hancheng had personally reported the child abuse.

Shen Pei refused to leave: "I won't go, I won't go to jail, please let me go, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I was just jealous."

No one paid any attention to her hysteria.

Ji Ting left the Ji residence with a hunched back, sighing repeatedly. He apologized to Yuan Shu and then left with Ji Mingyuan.

In fact, Han Yue had been investigating the matter all along. Ji Hancheng installed the camera in the living room the very night he returned from Han Yue's place, fearing that someone might harm his son.

The matter was investigated for a long time, but everyone who was investigated was dead. No one expected that the second old man would be so ruthless and unscrupulous in order to achieve his goals, and in the end, he got himself arrested in his old age.

Ji Hancheng didn't put Tang Junting's evidence out in the open, which was a way of thanking her. Otherwise, Ji Mingyuan might have killed her directly when he returned. The two old men's planning process was recorded by a listening device that Tang Junting had installed in his study.

After being subjected to domestic violence day after day, Tang Junting fought back by secretly installing a listening device, which actually gave the perpetrator leverage over her.

The matter has come to a close. When the two old men were alive, Ji Ting had no say; everything was decided by the two old men. Now that the two old men and Shen Pei have been arrested, Ji Ting should be able to agree to Ji Mingyuan's divorce.
