[What, my wife cheated on me? ]

[No, she was pregnant with twins, but both the wife and the children are gone.]

[Who was it? I think it must be their family that dealt with the woman and child.]

[Yes, he's over there, the one sitting next to your eldest brother. He was diagnosed as infertile at the age of fifteen by a doctor, but he has children. And he even got married?]

[He only realized he would be childless after marrying, but when his wife got pregnant, he suspected it wasn't his.]

[And then he killed his wife?]

You're so smart.

[This was ancient times; even a fool could guess what it would be like. People would die from internal strife and from disease. That was the norm for most families. Even with modern, advanced medical care, some women still died from illness in ancient times; imagine how it was in this backward era.]

[Actually, a man who has no male heir can still conceive if he meets a woman who is fertile, and even have twins. His wife was pregnant with twins, but sadly, he tormented her to death, and she lost all her children.]

Another wife killer. Why is my brother hanging out with someone like that? I'll have to tell him off. He's not a good person.

I feel he's even more disgusting than Wu Lin. Wu Lin played around with women, but he didn't kill them; he even paid child support for the children he had. But this guy just killed his wife.

Ji Jiaming also looked at him, his eyes filled with shock. They were close enough to hear Ji Yingying's thoughts.

The man heard it too.

He felt terrible and wondered: Is Rong'er really pregnant with his child?

He wasn't childless, no, but Rong'er was gone, and so was his child.

"This needs to be investigated by the Dali Temple. If he should be arrested, he should be arrested." Ji Yingying sighed and said, "If he had treated his wife well and had the child, he might have had a happy and fulfilling life. It's a pity his wife is gone. If he marries someone else who isn't compatible, she might not be able to conceive even if she wanted to."

[Yes, yes, yes. You should let Lord Gongsun investigate.]

[You can put that thing into a folded document and I'll send it over. This time it won't be at the Ministry of Justice, right?]

Not here.

Xiangxiang wanted to eat more melon, but the emperor spoke up and said, "I'm going back. You must get up early to attend the morning court tomorrow."

It was getting dark, and it gets dark quickly in winter. Ji Yingying sent the emperor and empress away, and stood at the door for a while. When she saw Lord Gongsun and Minister He, she directly gave them the memorials that belonged to them.

[They were having a great time, but ended up having to go on a business trip. I guess neither of them was very happy.]

"These are some things, you guys go back and take a look."

"Hey hey hey"

They both said in their hearts: I'm not unhappy, I'm very happy, I'm alive again.

Just as Ji Yingying was about to leave, Ji Jiaming arrived with his men.

That person was the scholar who had no heir. He looked gentle and weak, but I never expected him to be so ruthless.

"He has something to ask you." Ji Jiaming's tone wasn't good, but it wasn't directed at Ji Yingying; it was directed at that man.

"Ask!"

"Your Highness, I, Su Changjin, would like to ask if I am infertile."

[Are these men shameless? Indeed, King Qi is the same; with him leading the way, what else can they possibly do?]

"Yes, you want to ask, can it be cured? I tell you it can't, but if you meet a fertile woman, you can give birth to a child. It's just that you don't seem to cherish it."

After Ji Yingying finished speaking, she turned and left. She didn't even want to give the Emperor that much face, so she certainly didn't want to deal with someone like you who killed his wife and children.

[It's disgusting. I hate people like this the most.]

After Ji Yingying left, Su Changjin collapsed to the ground, having personally killed his wife and child.

"Brother Su, you'd better watch yourself. My sister hates family discord."

Ji Jiaming had left, everyone had dispersed, the servants had cleaned up, and Ji Yingying went back to her room and fell asleep.

Before going to bed, I couldn't help but sigh: "This is more tiring than going to work!"

Ji Yingying woke up at the Qinzheng Palace the next day. After washing up in the carriage, she got off with two steamed buns.

When she entered the hall, the emperor was about to arrive. Ji Yingying took the opportunity to eat breakfast while the emperor was sitting down. However, after she had taken two bites, someone suddenly farted.

The flavor is also very strong.

The stench almost made Ji Yingying vomit.

[Who is it? Who has no sense of decency at all? They actually farted! I hadn't even finished my breakfast, and you farted! Were you doing this on purpose?]

[The one behind you has a tough life too. For some reason, he doesn't dare to be greedy for money. His family doesn't have any business, so the whole family relies on his salary. And then, they live frugally every day. I packed up your food and took it home yesterday. I ate it this morning without heating it up, and now I have a stomachache.]

Can't you just heat it up?

He got up late and has no time.

It seemed that the person behind her was the Right Minister. That was not right. Ji Yingying suddenly thought of something wrong.

[Xiangxiang, is it right for us to stand so close? We are only ministers, not chancellors. Although we no longer have a prime minister, we still have the chancellor in front, and our immediate superiors are all behind us.]

[I don't know. If someone tells you to stand, you just stand. Why bother with so much? I just want you to eat the melon.]

[What kind of gossip is there in this hall?] Ji Yingying put the things away; this nonsense made her unable to eat anymore.

Fortunately, the hall is spacious, otherwise it would be unbearable.

[My dear, that person who has no descendants committed suicide last night. Lord Gongsun arrived a little late. It doesn't matter if he committed suicide or not. It doesn't matter whether such a person lives or not.]

[Suicide is fine too.]

Where is that lunatic?

[He's still outside, having taken a nap somewhere.]

[Beggar, my house is so nice that even beggars are allowed to come in and have a feast.]

[He's a beggar, but an educated one at that. He has a decent set of clothes, which he wears whenever there's a feast. He gets a copper coin in a red envelope, then finds a corner to eat in.]

I see.

Yes, if it weren't for that illness, he probably would have had a much better prognosis.

What could be the trigger?

[His entire family died; they were murdered, and that's why he became this kind of person.]

[Okay, okay, it's pitiful. Actually, if we just control him, maybe he wouldn't have to die.]

【But, he wants revenge. 】

Does he know who his enemy is?

【have no idea.】

How can we take revenge?

[Ask the Ministry of Justice. It's a Ministry of Justice case anyway, so just pay attention to it. I don't have any extra information to share, but I think there will be a follow-up.]

[Alright, let's go to the Ministry of Justice for a stroll later.] After the morning court session ended, no one stopped Ji Yingying.

Without saying a word, she got on the carriage and went home. Ji Cailiang and Ji Jiaming were also in the carriage.

"Hey, you're not being kept in the palace today?"

The two men rolled their eyes at her. She was the only one left in the palace; the others didn't have that opportunity.

"My second brother is on vacation until the beginning of spring. I'm so happy!" Ji Yingying sighed.
