The Reborn Girl Wants to Kill Me

Chapter 221 The General Has No Son 5

At night, Ji Yanli went to the Fifth Prince's residence.

He had a clear purpose and went straight to the storehouse of the Fifth Prince's mansion.

The warehouse was filled with gold and jade, so full that there was no room for people to step on.

Many things were on the list compiled by Hui Niang, and there were also many gifts from the emperor and the empress in the palace. They were piled up in small boxes with the lids open, and jade beads, corals and agates were all squeezed onto the ground.

Ji Yanli waved his hand and put them all into the space without leaving a single one, then he went to the fifth prince's study.

On the table were books on statecraft and the Doctrine of the Mean. Ji Yanli took a look at the things on the antique shelf, moved his fingers, and confiscated them. Then he unexpectedly found a shining dragon robe in the secret door of the study.

Ji Yanli picked up the thing. It felt soft to the touch and the embroidery was delicate. It was obvious that it was not made overnight.

He curled his lips and put the things into the space.

The fifth prince always puts on an honest and simple appearance. He is very close to the crown prince, but also has a good relationship with his other brothers. He acts as an invisible person in front of the emperor and never shows off. When others fight to the death, they ignore him.

His ambition was so well hidden that in the original world, the other princes didn't realize something was wrong until he showed his claws, but the situation had already become so serious that it was too late even if he discovered it.

After leaving the Fifth Prince's Mansion, he went straight to the Crown Prince's Mansion. After entering the study, he hid the dragon robe in the innermost part of the cabinet, leaving it slightly exposed so that people could find it.

It doesn't matter whether it was intentional or not. As long as the prince finds the dragon robe, he will definitely think that someone is trying to harm him, and then he will investigate. He will always find it back to the fifth prince. As long as he becomes suspicious of him, the fifth prince will have no way to stay out of the fight for the throne.

After finishing everything, Ji Yanli went back to sleep. He didn't wake up until dawn when he was woken by the sound of quarreling outside the yard.

It turned out that Yan Shuyu woke up and found that Ji Yanli did not come to look for her, and then learned that Hui Niang and the child were actually staying in Ji Yanli's yard. She thought that the woman must have used her seductive tricks to trip up Ji Yanli, so she came to look for Hui Niang.

When Ji Yanli got dressed and went out, he saw Yan Shuyu ordering people to hold Hui Niang down and beat her. The servants who had returned from the border town with Ji Yanli and others blocked their way.

"The general ordered you to be the steward, but you pursued your own selfish interests. You vixen, what are you planning? Do you think I don't know? We are all women, so stop pretending! Today, I will teach you the rules of the capital, so that you don't think that everywhere is as rude and rude as the border town."

Hui Niang sneered: "What am I pretending to be? Madam, please explain clearly. We are the people of the border town and are rude and disrespectful. Are all the people in the capital the same as you, madam, who accuse others without reason?"

Cheng Mingdu's face was serious, "Stop it!"

The people who came back from the border town immediately stopped their actions, but the people brought by Yan Shuyu didn't even listen.

"Someone is coming."

Ji Yanli came over and said directly: "Tie those people up and sell them off."

The people brought by Yan Shuyu were quickly tied up and taken away. Yan Shuyu lost face and became even more relentless.

She is the only second owner in this mansion, and has been humiliated by Ji Yanli time and time again. If she doesn't make amends, who in this mansion will listen to her in the future?

"General."

Yan Shuyu turned the words over in her mind, but still said it reluctantly, "Since the general likes Hui Niang, why don't I take the lead and make her a concubine? This way she will have a legitimate status. What do you think, general?"

Retreat to advance. When Hui Niang becomes a concubine, if she continues to be so disrespectful, there will be plenty of ways to control her.

Furthermore, in a man's mind, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a secret lover. Once the status is revealed, the novelty will be greatly reduced. At that time, will Ji Yanli still protect her like this?

Hui Niang was speechless, Cheng Mingdu was puzzled, and Ji Yanli laughed out loud.

Yan Shuyu also covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's better to do it today than today. I might as well drink Sister Hui's tea today so that she can serve the general sooner."

Ji Yanli waved to Cheng Mingqi: "Come here, Daddy."

Cheng Mingdu came over with his short legs, and Ji Yanli pulled him into the house, instructing them to prepare breakfast as they walked.

Hui Niang gave Yan Shuyu a perfunctory greeting and followed. The father and son talked and laughed, and the bold and heroic woman behind them listened quietly, just like a real family of three.

This made Yan Shuyu look like a jumping clown.

Her face twitched and her hand unconsciously touched her belly.

She didn't take the contraceptive pills last time, so she didn't know if she was pregnant. If she was, she had to get married to Ji Yanli as soon as possible to give the child in her belly a clear future. After her legitimate son was born, the little beast that Ji Yanli brought back had to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Yan Shuyu began to pay special attention to her menstrual period. She had no one she could completely trust around her, and she could not contact the fifth prince. Her mother sent a letter saying that she would be treated as if she did not exist as a daughter from now on. Hui Niang had already firmly controlled the general's mansion, which made Yan Shuyu anxious every day.

The fifth prince Ling Feng was as irritable as her.

I don’t know what’s wrong with the prince, but he’s being targeted openly and covertly, and the other brothers are looking at him differently.

Several times, he embarrassed himself in front of his father and lost his only job.

One night he climbed over the wall and entered the Pingxi General's Mansion.

He had no job and no military power, so what could he use to compete with other brothers? Ji Yanli, the General Pingxi, had a very high prestige in the army. He wanted Yan Shuyu to whisper in Ji Yanli's ear and let Ji Yanli secretly support him. Since hiding his shortcomings was no longer useful, he had to show his sword and seize the highest position openly.

Ling Feng, wearing a nightgown, jumped lightly into the big net that had been prepared for him.

"Assassin! The general was right. An assassin really broke into the mansion in the middle of the night!"

"You son of a bitch, you dare to enter our Pingxi Palace, you are an old man who wants to hang himself because his life is too long!"

Before Ling Feng could react, he was hit on the head with a club.

Ji Yanli was still entertaining guests in the front hall. They were Yun Maolin, the prince of the Duke of Xiangyuan's Mansion, the Empress's family, and Chai Duo, the Vice Minister of War. They were chatting very happily, eating and drinking as they talked, and forgot the time for a moment. When they heard that a thief had dared to come to the General Pingxi's Mansion to steal things, they all wanted to go and see.

"This is the first time in my life that I've seen such a clueless little thief. I have to go and see him to broaden my horizons."

A few of them were a little tipsy, and Ji Yanli followed them.

Under the outer wall of the backyard, several servants armed with sticks surrounded a man in black clothes.

Yun Maolin strode over and pulled off the mask of the man in black.

"Let me see what this little thief looks like!"
