It was with great difficulty that Pei Yucheng agreed to let her stay overnight in the Yu Mansion.

Jin Li's advice to her was: Pei Yucheng just had a child, so he naturally loves him dearly. Now is the most inappropriate time to touch him. In this case, we can use the situation to our advantage and temporarily get along with the child. If the child likes you very much, it will be beneficial to you.

Originally, Ning Ruyan wanted to take this opportunity to develop a good relationship with Ji Niancheng.

After all, when she came to the Imperial Mansion, she learned from the servants that Ji Yuqi had also come to the Imperial Mansion.

However, Pei Yucheng did not allow Ji Yuqi to enter the main house to visit the child.

This is Ning Ruyan's last chance before Pei Yucheng gives in.

But, who would have known: an hour ago, she went downstairs and tentatively wanted to visit Ji Niancheng's room, but was ruthlessly rejected by Liu Tong.

Liu Tong said: "Miss Ning, please don't embarrass me. The young master is in poor health, and the eldest young master has personally ordered that no one is allowed to approach the young master at will."

It was because of these words that Ning Ruyan's heart instantly fell to the bottom.

Even... the evil in my heart was magnified to the maximum in an instant.

Anyone, including her.

However, the definition of "anyone" in Pei Yucheng's order is a general term for people who are not trusted or close to him.

It turned out that in Pei Yucheng's heart, Ning Ruyan was on guard, without any weight or credibility.

Ning Ruyan stood there, looking at the panicked backs of the crowd, the smile on her lips growing more intense.

"Didn't Li Wei say that my great-grandson Xiaoguai has recovered well? Is this what he meant by 'well'? Li Wei is so presumptuous. How dare he lie to me with such nonsense?!" The old lady of the Pei family was trying to catch up with the crowd with the help of a cane and hurried steps.

Nanny Su supported her carefully and reminded her worriedly all the way:

"Master Buddha, please slow down, don't be anxious."

"With the eldest young master here, the young master will be fine."

"Slow down, hey, be careful on the steps, don't fall..."

Nanny Su's heart was in her throat.

I was afraid that the old lady of the Pei family would fall.

Just as the two of them reached the stairs to the second floor and were about to go downstairs, the old lady of the Pei family suddenly noticed a somewhat unsightly figure standing at the corner upstairs.

The moment he raised his eyes, he met Ning Ruyan's somewhat vicious and smug smile.

Although Ning Ruyan immediately concealed all the viciousness on her face and showed an expression of great worry the moment she caught the gaze of the old lady of the Pei family, the old lady of the Pei family still felt uncomfortable and even unhappy in her heart for a moment.

Without hesitation, she turned around and asked Aunt Su: "Who is that woman?!"

Nanny Su raised her eyes to glance at Ning Ruyan, carefully filtering her appearance in her mind, and then she recovered, "It seems to be the female celebrity who has been involved in scandals with the young master over the years."

"Oh, that actor." The old lady of the Pei family paused with her cane. As Ning Ruyan walked slowly towards the small building, ready to curry favor with the old lady, she heard the old lady's powerful yet cold and frightening voice, "How can such a dishonest person be worthy of staying in the Imperial Mansion?! Quickly notify the guards and kick him out!"

“……!!!!” Ning Ruyan.

…

When I returned to the rental house, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

Ji Yuqi stood in the cold, damp, and narrow bathroom, staring blankly at the shocking, deep, and large knife wound on his neck in the mirror.

There was no need to touch it with hands; the piercing pain spread to her nerves bit by bit with her breathing.

Pei Yucheng was indeed ruthless when he took action.

At that moment, he probably had murderous intentions.

This is manifested in two points: when he stabbed her neck with the fruit knife, the force was so great, as if he wanted to pierce her neck immediately; the wound was only an inch away from the aorta.

In other words, if there was even the slightest deviation, the sharp tip of the fruit knife would pierce her blood vessels without hesitation.

At this moment, the extremely swollen wound looked hideous and terrifying in the dim light of the bathroom.

However, what made Ji Yuqi feel her scalp tingling and her hair stand on end was the sight of Pei Yucheng holding her wrist with his backhand and stabbing the tip of the knife into her neck. His eyes were so sinister and cruel that only murderous intent remained, dark and cold, without a trace of humanity.

At that moment, if Ji Yuqi had not blocked his force with all her strength, Pei Yucheng would have killed her without blinking an eye.

Ji Yuqi stood numbly in front of the mirror, looking at herself with disheveled hair, pale face, and blood stains all over her body. She looked disheveled and lifeless, not resembling a human at all. She was a little dazed.

After a long time, she turned on the shower tap extremely slowly.

Ji Yuqi wanted to wash the blood off his body.

But when he was unbuttoning and taking off his clothes, the clothes stuck to his skin by blood pulled at the wound, and Ji Yuqi gasped in pain.

She dropped her eyes.

Only then did he see clearly that there was also a hole in his left chest caused by the sharp fruit knife.

At this moment, the blood is still flowing...
