Chapter 283 Xiao Yun

I see!

Since it wouldn't reveal too much, Ji Yingying agreed.

"Here's what we'll do: I'll find a way to get your father to sever ties with you, and then we'll raid his house."

"Thank you, sir!"

[Host, you can send her to the capital to take the imperial examination. She is a reborn person with great abilities; letting her serve as an official and benefit the people would be a good idea.]

Okay, okay, okay~

Ji Yingying agreed and told her about the plan, then asked Rong Er to make the arrangements immediately.

First, he had people spread rumors that the governor's mansion was haunted, and then he had people pretend to be ghosts to make the governor panic.

It still took two days for this.

These past two days, Ji Yingying has been staying by Xiao Yun's side, and she's also caught up in quite a bit of gossip while she's with him.

For example, right now, she and Xiao Yun are having a meal, and the maid next to them is watching with a lot of gossip.

[Host, this maid has so many lovers! She even tried to seduce Xiao Yun's father. But she's no good. With Xiao Yun's father, he can be seduced however he wants. That old man never refuses anything offered to him.]

[Just tell me, how much did he embezzle?] Ji Yingying was lazy and looked very comfortable. Xiao Yun, sitting next to her, looked at her and envied her carefree life.

Although she was supposed to be her maid, her behavior was truly enviable.

[Guess what? If you can't guess, confiscate their property and give Emperor Xuande a shock, so he'll start supporting corrupt officials.]

【That's true, alright then. After I help Xiao Yun get a new identity, I'll raid his house and I'll take a little something with me, hehe~】

Beware of the Xuande Emperor's wrath!

"Let him curse me. When have you ever seen him not curse me?" Ji Yingying retorted. Whenever she was around, she was either being cursed or bullied, and she was used to it.

That seems to be true. Never mind then, you do your thing.

[Alright, this maid can't be used. I need to remind our young lady.]

Just as she was about to speak, news came from outside. Ji Yingying quickly stood up, and soon after, her adopted daughter came in.

As soon as they came in, they tried to bully Xiao Yun and even had someone hold her down so they could beat her.

"I told you to seduce Brother Yuan. Let me tell you, Brother Yuan is mine. If you dare to make a move on him, I'll let you experience what it's like to be an adulterer."

Ji Yingying watched from the sidelines like a spectator, occasionally offering her own comments.

[This adopted daughter is really brave, not bad at all!]

[Not bad. If you hadn't saved your young lady, she'd probably have been bullied to death.]

What's there to be afraid of? She won't do it. We can just watch the show.

Why? Xiangxiang doesn't understand.

[Having already died once, how could I let this kind of trash bully me? Wouldn't that be a waste of my rebirth?]

That seems to be true.

[Exactly, exactly, I just didn't expect her to have a fiancé. Has this adopted daughter taken a liking to him?]

[Yes, she is. Otherwise, how could she be the female lead in the story?]

【Give me some gossip about what kind of person this fiancé is?】

[He's a very good... staunch scoundrel!]

"You've really gotten good at choosing words lately." No sooner had Ji Yingying finished praising her than Xiao Yun retaliated, directly knocking down the nanny who had attacked her!

He even grabbed the adopted daughter by the neck: "You think you can make me taste you? I'm warning you, don't mess with me!"

"You... be careful of your parents..." Before the adopted daughter could finish speaking, Ji Yingying knocked her unconscious.

"Why are you wasting so much time talking to her? Watch me arrange it, I guarantee that this two-faced, rotten love interest will leave you immediately."

Xiao Yun nodded; she naturally trusted Ji Yingying.

"Rong Er"

There was another man in the room right after I shouted.

"Miss"

“Have someone go and…” Ji Yingying turned to look at Xiao Yun, but she had no idea who Xiao Yun’s fiancé was.

"Jiang Xunjin".

"What an ugly, awful name!" Ji Yingying waved her hand, signaling Rong Er to bring the person over.

"Let their reputations be ruined as much as possible, don't worry too much about it."

Ji Yingying waved her hand, and Rong Er immediately carried it out, even choosing an inn for his master to watch the play.

"Let's go, miss, let's go see a play."

"Huh?" Xiao Yun hadn't even recovered from the fact that she had bodyguards when she was pulled out the door.

"Miss, remember to act weak and cry later. Just make people feel sorry for you. I'll handle the rest. Don't worry, in the end you'll break away from this family."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Upon arriving at the inn, Ji Yingying had just sat down when Mu Kaiji and the young prince came over.

"Master, you really know how to abandon people, leaving me and Second Master here, boohoo..." The little prince suddenly burst into tears, as if she had scummed to them.

"Shut up, if you keep crying, I'll make you copy the book."

Ji Yingying's education was not based on books, but on facts, because that suited her best.

"Second Master, the First Master is bullying me."

Mu Kaiji patted his head and bowed to Xiao Yun, saying, "Thank you for taking care of my little sister."

"You're too kind, please sit down!"

After sitting down, Ji Yingying poked the little prince's head and said, "In three or four days, go and confiscate the prefect's house. Leave all their property to your family and send someone to send it back to the capital."

"Yes, whatever Master says is right."

Ji Yingying nodded and then said to Xiao Yun, "Your family's money is all ill-gotten gains, you can't keep it. But I'll get you a house later. You should study hard and try to go to the capital to take the imperial examination next year. Then we'll meet in the capital."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Not long after, a commotion broke out upstairs, and Ji Yingying immediately went up to watch the show. Mu Kaiji and the other man wanted to follow, but Ji Yingying stopped them.

"You two, don't follow us. Don't interfere with the progress of the matter."

If all goes well, Xiao Yun should be able to be separated by tomorrow night.

Upstairs, someone caught the magistrate's adopted daughter seducing the legitimate daughter's fiancé.

Ji Yingying immediately told Xiao Yun to cry, and Xiao Yun did a great job, describing their secret rendezvous in a fresh and elegant way.

They even labeled them.

They were forced to stay together.

"Jiang Xunjin, I want to annul the engagement. This is a token given to me by your family. I am returning it to you now. Please return my token to me. Everyone, please bear witness that I, Xiao Yun, hereby annul the engagement with Jiang Xunjin, effective today."

After saying that, she returned the token, and Ji Yingying took the opportunity to retrieve the token that was hanging on Jiang Xunjin's body.

“This is my young lady’s keepsake. I’ve taken it back. From this day forward, my young lady and your young master are free to marry as they please. Young lady, let’s go.”

Ji Yingying knew that it was easier to handle because they only had tokens of their relationship and no marriage certificate. Otherwise, they would have to go to their door to ask for the marriage certificate, which would have been even more troublesome.

After coming downstairs, Ji Yingying pulled Xiao Yun back into the private room and said, "You need to pack your things tonight. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll be moving the day after tomorrow."

"Really?" Xiao Yun was happy. If she had to take revenge alone, she didn't know what she would get. Luckily, Ji Yingying was there to help her.

"Really? Aren't you happy?" She would arrange for a Taoist priest to enter the prefect's house later, make her move tomorrow, and confiscate her property the day after. She was afraid of being arrested and taken back if she stayed here too long.
