Chapter 144: The Assassin Sister
Upon hearing that it was a honey trap, Ji Yingying took a closer look at Xia Yuhe, who was not particularly attractive... How could such a honey trap be used?
Here's the thing: your brother's classmate accidentally destroyed his calligraphy practice book and also inadvertently injured his page. Then, out of kindness, he presented this beautiful young woman to him.
What does this have to do with a honey trap?
[Of course there's a connection. This beauty was an assassin, but due to an accidental assassination attempt, she failed and was killed by her master, who sent her to a mass grave. However, she survived.]
[Then she crawled out, but she had amnesia. She was picked up by someone who hated your brother, and through your brother's classmate, they gave her to him, intending to use her to kill him.]
Ji Jiaming was dumbfounded. This woman was not only an assassin, but also an amnesiac assassin, and even more so, an assassin who had crawled back from a mass grave.
How terrifying!
But she has amnesia; she's just being used right now.
I want to know who wants to harm my older brother?
[The Crown Princess's cousin was a wicked and narrow-minded man. Once, he forcibly abducted a young woman, but your elder brother saved her. He harbored a grudge and then conspired with your brother's classmate to kill him.]
So how do they plan to kill my older brother?
[Of course, it's about using women to ruin your brother's reputation. Your brother's classmate isn't a good person either; he's just jealous of your brother's outstanding abilities and high level of education.]
[So the two of them conspired to find a woman to sleep with my brother?]
[Yes, first, you had your brother's classmate accidentally damage his calligraphy copybook, and then someone accidentally injure his page. Under the guise of apologizing, you got your brother to accept her as a concubine. Your brother originally didn't want to accept her, but after he did, you had her seduce him so he couldn't take the imperial examination.]
What a vicious scheme! Playing with other people's futures...
[However, they were putting on such a high moral pedestal that we couldn't refuse them. That's why your brother brought them back.]
I think she's quite pretty. Tell me, what kind of assassin is she?
[The Shadow Pavilion, the world's number one assassin organization, she was considered a leader within it, but unfortunately, she failed to complete her last mission and was abandoned.]
Do you think she would hurt my brother?
[At present, it seems unlikely, because those two idiots have the wrong person. The person they're looking for is a prostitute, but she isn't, and they just happened to mistake her for that prostitute, which is why they sent her over.]
[Since we can't, is there a connection? Female assassins are very powerful. If she's willing to stay by my brother's side, she can protect him in the future. However, I'd rather she stay by my side. She's such a good girl, hehe~] Ji Yingying smiled mischievously.
Don't you want your older brother to marry a lady from a prestigious family?
[I long for a young lady from a prestigious family... I just hope she meets a true young lady like my second sister-in-law, and not too many good-for-nothings!]
So far, the young ladies from prominent families she's been in contact with are either this way or that way; it's really difficult for her.
"However, it also depends on whether my older brother likes her." Ji Yingying asked one last time to confirm, "Goudan, are you sure this woman poses no threat whatsoever?"
No, but someone did come to our door.
Sure enough, someone came to the door. It was Ji Jiaming's classmate, surnamed Ji, given name Ji Xun, whose surname sounds similar.
"Master, Madam, Young Master, Miss, there is a young master named Ji at the door. He says he is the Young Master's classmate and has come to apologize."
[Oh dear~ They've realized they've called the wrong person. Are they planning to shamelessly go to their door to replace them? I wonder how awkward that will be!]
Everyone glanced at her, and Ji Cailiang reacted quickly, immediately having someone invite her in.
"Brother, I'm going to get some fruit, I'll be back in a bit."
As soon as he entered, Ji Xun was very polite and courteous, showing no signs of his narrow-mindedness!
"Brother Ziyu, I have obtained an article today. May I discuss it with you?"
"Ah... I'm at home today and not reading. I'll talk about it when I go back to the academy in a few days."
“But…” Before he could finish speaking, the woman beside him said, “Brother Ziyu, I was unable to be by your side today due to some unforeseen circumstances. As a result, you made things worse for me and that lady. So… I came here specifically to switch places.”
As soon as Ji Yingying entered the door, she heard what this woman was saying, and what's more, she was saying it in front of her parents. A woman like this would only bring unrest to the household.
What a shameless woman!
[I agree. I suddenly realized that this assassin sister is quite nice. Look at this woman, her scheming is all out in the open. I bet Ji Xun is so embarrassed!]
Judging from his appearance, that's indeed the case...
Ji Xun also saw Ji Yingying eating fruit on the side.
"Her Highness the Eldest Princess is here too!" His tone was a bit weaker. He had specifically inquired before coming in and found that Ji Yingying was not in the living room. Since she wasn't there, he had a way to control them, after all, he was backed by the Crown Princess's maternal cousin.
"Yes, how could we hear you say that if you weren't here!"
Ji Xun immediately knelt down. After he knelt down, he noticed that the woman next to him did not kneel down. He carefully tugged at her, signaling her to kneel down.
But that woman didn't give me any face at all!
"You're now Princess! From now on, I'll be your brother's woman, your sister-in-law!"
"What kind of shameless statement is this?" Ji Yingying was furious. If this woman really did this, then what about her home...? Before Fang Yulan could make a move, she took action.
"Granny Xia, beat him! This person is too greasy and is interfering with my eating fruit."
Granny Xia immediately took action. This was the first time in the past six months that the young master had become angry and punished someone, so she naturally had to do it properly.
"Ah...you can't hit me." She shouted as she said she was Ji Jiaming's woman.
"Granny Xia, beat her until she dares not speak again." Fang Yulan gave another death order, so Granny Xia could not let her off the hook.
Her husband was a man of impeccable character, yet he was so defiled by a courtesan; he deserved to be beaten to death.
"Come on, let's dig a melon. Today, this grandma will beat her to death." Ji Jiaming and the assassin sister next to him were calmly drinking tea.
As for the gossip about Ji Yingying mentioned earlier, the assassin sister is willing to believe it, even though she has no memory of it, she still feels that it should be so.
[This woman was a top courtesan in a brothel. Not only was she prostituted, but she had also been redeemed by an old wealthy man. Unfortunately, she had played with him to death, and then his wife sent her back to the brothel, where she continued to have all sorts of sexual exploits. To put it simply, she was like a pile of excrement; whoever touched her was doomed.]
How did you get to know Ji Xun?
[It was the Crown Princess's cousin who made the connection; Ji Xun was in this woman's bed last night...]
【Oh dear~ I don't need to clean up anymore, this guy probably has syphilis. Dude, you should move dorms, he's too dirty.】
