Chapter 252 Yang Dani and Divorce
At the end of December, Ji Yingying skipped work again. The snow outside was so heavy that she suspected this year's snow disaster would hit the capital.
When Eunuch Cao came to invite her, Ji Yingying was too lazy to move. She only prepared some medicine for Eunuch Cao to take back to the Emperor.
He also wrote a letter to the Emperor, urging him to take care of his health.
"Mom, Dad really can't come home for the New Year this year, sigh!" Ji Yingying sat in a chair, hugging a hot water bottle and eating snacks.
There are only a few days left until the Chinese New Year, and I guess I really won't be able to make it back in time.
"If he can't come back, he can't come back. This year, we'll just have the kids. Your older brother is really something. He finally got a day off, and we told him to go out and find some dates, but instead, he went fishing with that kid Kaiji."
“My eldest brother is indeed getting old. He’ll be eighteen next year. Look at my second brother, he’ll be a father next year.”
"That's right, you should also help your older brother see if there's anyone suitable for him."
Ji Yingying sighed. "It's not that I haven't seen them before. I have seen them, quite a few!"
Unfortunately, none of these people were very good; none of them were as genuinely devoted to their own families as Jenny.
Those girls, more or less, were all after their own interests. One of them was even pregnant and wanted Ji Jiaming to be her sugar daddy. That's unacceptable!
Over time, Ji Jiaming also stopped wanting to watch it.
"Madam, Your Highness, Miss Biao is kneeling at the door and says she wants to see you."
"It's so cold outside, what is she kneeling there for?" Ji Yingying wanted to go and see what was going on, but it was too cold. If she came in, she didn't know what the woman was going to do, so she was a little conflicted.
Fang Yulan, however, didn't hesitate and went out directly, leaving Ji Yingying with no choice but to follow.
"Mother, do you think our cousin came back because she wants money?"
"Go and see for yourself!"
When I got to the door, I saw her kneeling there, her face covered in bruises and dressed in thin clothes.
Upon seeing Fang Yulan, he immediately cried out, "Please, Aunt, save me!"
There were also some commoners around. After all, it was the Ji residence, and there were always many people at the entrance of the Ji residence, no matter when.
What happened?
【She was beaten by her husband's family!】
Why did her husband's family hit her when she was perfectly fine?
[Wasn't Prince Rong's illegitimate son beaten to death? She had no other way out, so she went back to her man, only to be rejected by him and misunderstood by his partner, who then attacked her. At first, she could tolerate it, but yesterday he probably really killed her, so she got scared and begged for help again.]
[They agreed to each do their own thing, but she went and interfered with his. How could he not take advantage of her?]
That's right.
Yang Dani lowered her head. She knew the consequences of coming here, but if she hadn't come, she really wouldn't have survived. She regretted it. If she had listened to her aunt and married someone she liked instead of trying to climb the social ladder, things wouldn't be like this today.
“When you got married, Yang Dani, I said that once you left this house, we would no longer be relatives. We also signed a letter severing ties. Whether you are doing well or not has nothing to do with me. Our Ji family can't help you.”
If someone helps you once, they'll help you again. People like Yang Dani aren't good people.
Once it really starts sucking your blood back, you can't peel it off.
"Rong Er, go and invite my cousin's husband over!" Rong Er immediately went to invite him, and the man arrived shortly afterward.
He just got out of another woman's bed; the smell was still quite strong!
I have to admit I hadn't paid much attention to my cousin-in-law before; he's not exactly good-looking!
[He's not that great. With his abilities, it'll be difficult for him to become the top scholar in the imperial examinations. That's just how it is! However, he does have ambition!]
What ambitions? Good or bad?
[Oh no, he wants your cousin to curry favor with you and give him a government position. If that doesn't work, he'll have his mistress buy him one.]
Good grief, he's really taking advantage of a woman's kindness!
[He's no good person. If he were to become an official, he would definitely plunder the people's wealth!]
[Now you can't buy or sell official positions anymore, so there's no need to worry about that.]
The Emperor handled this matter quite well this year.
Therefore, she has nothing to worry about at all.
Yes, don't worry about that, but worry about something else!
【What's up? 】
He has a murder case on his record!
Upon hearing this, the cousin's husband immediately knelt down, panicked so much that he even wet his pants.
"Huh? Are you that scared? You even wet your pants!"
[Yeah, what's there to be afraid of? We're not afraid of killing, why would we be afraid of wetting our pants? Host, is your family really that cruel?]
Hey! That's not a very nice thing to say. When have I ever been cruel? Tell me!
The onlookers outside: ...You're a good person, not a bad person. You're not cruel!
[Hehe, no, then why did he suddenly wet his pants?]
[I don't know! Hurry up and check out this gossip. If it's really murder, send him to the Dali Temple immediately. I need to go back; it's too cold.]
[Okay, he killed his own child. A woman had given birth to his son, but she had a difficult childbirth. They tried to save the mother, but the baby was born very ugly, so he suspected it wasn't his son and killed him.]
【What? 】
Not only did he kill his own son, but he also killed the maidservant who was with him. Their bodies are still at the bottom of the lake in his yard; even if you drain the water now, you can still retrieve them.
"Then I will send Lord Gongsun to go."
Just as she was about to call Rong Er, Yang Dani immediately said, "Aunt, Dani doesn't want to live with him anymore. Dani wants a divorce, and after the divorce, Dani wants to go back to her hometown. Please help me, Aunt."
This woman has some ideas!
If they don't cause us trouble, this little thing is nothing.
Since Ji Yingying had said so, Fang Yulan said, "Alright, I'll help you get a divorce. Consider this as compensation for picking out this thing for you. After the divorce, you can leave on your own."
"Thank you, Aunt." She still had a lot of silver on her, so she should be able to survive after returning home.
Fang Yulan had someone write a divorce agreement, but her cousin-in-law was unwilling to sign it. However, he dared not disobey Ji Yingying.
He knew what was behind her and how he could hide from being caught, completely avoiding any contact with Ji Yingying. Who knew he would come so close today?
They eventually divorced, and a corpse was found in his home. He was executed.
...
On the eve of the Lunar New Year, Ji Yingying was forced to enter the palace, and the Emperor seemed like a nice person.
Upon entering the palace, Ji Yingying saw the Crown Prince handling state affairs, while the Emperor was playing cards with his concubines.
"Your Majesty, have you finally come to your senses?"
"I've come to terms with it. This kind of life is quite good. After the New Year, I'll let the Crown Prince ascend the throne."
[Oh dear, the poor prince is about to become the most miserable beast of burden.]
Crown Prince: …………
Emperor: Yes, yes, he has stepped down!
"It's the eve of the Lunar New Year today, Your Majesty, why did you summon me to the palace?"
"What else could we do but have dinner together? Otherwise, why would we call you to the palace?"
Ji Yingying's eyes widened like copper bells—was she really allowed to enter the palace on such a cold day just to have a meal?
