Chapter 109: A Journey Through the Human World, Money Comes Supreme

Yanni looked at the two of them with envy, as her Yan family didn't have such a good relationship.

"I heard that Sister Ji loves to eat chicken, so today I specially made a bowl of shredded chicken porridge and a steamed chicken. Madam and Sister Ji, please try them."

Ji Yingying didn't stand on ceremony at all, pulling Yanni to sit down: "Come on, let's eat together. I cooked corn today, and I secretly took two pieces back. Try this corn."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Ji."

"Mom, you eat this first." Ji Yingying told Fang Yulan to eat the corn first, while she started eating porridge and then gnawed on a chicken leg.

【I'm so full! It's so delicious! This second sister-in-law is a nice person; she cooks really good food. Once I marry into the family, I'll go there for meals every day. If my second brother dares to stop me, I'll make sure he knows how fierce the struggle for the heir apparent is.】

Fang Yulan felt embarrassed and smiled apologetically at Yan Ni. Yan Ni, on the other hand, said, "If you want to eat this in the future, just send a maid to the Yan residence and I will make it for you."

"real?"

"Yes, really."

"Then thank you very much, Second Sister-in-law." Ji Yingying chuckled twice, just as the butler suddenly came in and said that the imperial decree had arrived.

Fang Yulan immediately led her people out to receive the imperial decree, and Yanni followed along, since everyone was there.

This imperial edict almost frightened Fang Yulan. Her daughter had actually become the Protector of the Nation Princess, and even had a fiefdom and a princess's residence.

After receiving the imperial decree, Ji Yingying didn't feel anything special, but Fang Yulan and Yan Ni were somewhat flattered.

Fang Yulan, the titled lady, hasn't even hosted a banquet yet, and now the Princess has issued another decree, so it seems she'll have to host two rounds of banquets.

"Why did the Emperor bestow this imperial edict upon you?"

"The corn has been harvested, the weapons have been manufactured, the watermelons are in bloom, underfloor heating has been implemented almost nationwide, and the down jacket factory is about to be established. I didn't expect this group of people to be so efficient and fast."

I thought it wouldn't be implemented until at least the end of next year, but I didn't expect it to be implemented so quickly.

"Sister Ji is so capable, congratulations in advance! Aunt Ji, the conferment of the title has just come down, and you must be very busy at home, so I won't disturb you any longer and will go back now."

"If Sister Ji wants to eat my cooking, just send a maid to tell her."

"Okay, take care, sister."

The person left, and Mu Kaiji arrived.

"What brings you here?" Ji Yingying was quite surprised to see Mu Kaiji. He was at Dali Temple, so he should be very busy.

"Hmm, see what you can glean from this case."

Ji Yingying took the book and started reading. After she finished, she immediately said, "Detective, shouldn't this be the case you're most familiar with and best at? Why are you asking me about it?"

"Tell me about it. I know my sister is very capable. In some cases, she can tell where the murderer is just by looking at them."

How did he figure out I was so capable? Besides, I'm not a detective, am I? I don't have investigative techniques.

[Host, it's normal that your detective brother can't figure out this case. The murderer is already dead, and was killed by the victim himself.]

[Hiss~ We're not stuck with a historical romance script, are we stuck with a fantasy script?]

【No, it's just an ancient romance novel script. The deceased stabbed him before dying, and then the murderer dragged his body away. Not long after, that's it. If you don't believe me, have your detective brother go to the crime scene and see. You might even find two different types of blood from the deceased.】

What caused the killer's death?

The murderer intended to rape the victim, who felt it was against human ethics and struggled. During the struggle, the victim was killed, and the victim, shocked, stabbed the perpetrator in return.

[Same-sex relationship?]

No, it's unrequited love; one person is normal, the other isn't.

Yes, this world is still a normal world.

Just as he was about to speak to Mu Kaiji, Mu Kaiji took the file and said, "Thank you, I understand." Then he turned and left.

Why is your detective brother acting so strangely?

【I don't know either. 】

The Ji family was always bustling, as many people came to see Ji Yingying. As soon as Mu Kaiji left, Minister Gong arrived with a few ears of corn.

"Lord Gong, don't you find me annoying?"

"Oh, no, no, it's our good fortune that Your Highness can eat the corn we grow." Minister Gong had never felt so sycophantic before.

In order not to offend Lord Ji, he... became shameless.

"Then thank you, Minister Gong. Don't worry, when I have something delicious, I'll definitely invite you to eat it first, even before the Emperor does, how about that?"

"No, no, let's give the best things to His Majesty first."

Minister Gong was truly frightened and left as soon as he put down the corn.

In mid-September, the sky was high and the clouds were white. The autumn hunt had begun. Early in the morning, Granny Xia prepared hunting clothes for Ji Yingying.

After getting up, Ji Yingying went straight to the palace to prepare for the sacrificial ceremony with the emperor.

Her seat was quite close to the front. After receiving the incense, she immediately raised it, closed her eyes, and silently chanted: "Buddha, bless me to become rich, may wealth come from all directions, one hundred taels today, twenty thousand taels tomorrow, may every penny be clean and pure, and may everything I do go smoothly. Amitabha, bless me to become rich!"

After bowing and lighting incense, the group then proceeded to the hunting grounds.

"My dear Minister Ji, what did you just ask for?" the Emperor suddenly asked.

Ji Yingying frowned, then said, "Your Majesty, I cannot say, for if I do, the effect will be lost."

Hehe, can I tell you, I'm after money? In this world, money is everything!

Ji Yingying got into the carriage and found a storybook to read.

"Little sister, Miss Yan's carriage has had an accident. Mother sent me to ask you if you can ride in the same carriage as her."

Ji Yingying's carriage was in the third position. The first carriage was for the Crown Prince, and the second was for the Emperor and Empress. She was following behind them.

"sure!"

Oh dear, what happened? Dog, tell me quickly, I want to know.

Ji Yingying's eyes lit up; she was ready to watch the drama unfold.

[Arranged by the illegitimate daughter of the Yan family, she was abandoned by the Yan family and married as a concubine to a somewhat abnormal man. She then blamed everything on Yan San, and during the autumn hunt when the Yan family brought Yan San out, she deliberately sabotaged his carriage.]

Good heavens, this illegitimate daughter has extraordinary abilities!

[What kind of connections does she have? She got it all by selling her body. And that person is unreliable; now she's exposed him. This concubine's daughter is probably doomed.]

"Indeed, these are my second brother's fiancées, betrothed by the Emperor himself. If they don't give an explanation, then Minister Yan is unfit to be a minister."

Minister Yan was behind them. He was responsible for bringing Yan Ni over. When he heard Ji Yingying's thoughts, he panicked, afraid that the Emperor would hear him. If he did, he would be dismissed and investigated, which would be a real problem.
