At the end of December, Ji Yingying was absent from work again. It was snowing so heavily outside that she suspected that 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, asking 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 really old. He will be eighteen next year. Look at my second brother. He will 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!"
But these people are not very good. None of them is like Jenny, who is truly devoted to her own family.
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, my cousin is kneeling at the door and 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, on the other hand, didn't hesitate and went out directly, so Ji Yingying had no choice but to follow her out.
"Mom, do you think our cousin wants some money when she comes back?"
"Just go and see for yourself!"
When I got to the door, I saw her kneeling at the door with bruises all over her face and wearing 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?
[Being beaten by my husband’s family! ]
Why did her husband's family hit her when she was perfectly fine?
Wasn't Prince Rong's bastard son beaten to death? She had no other options, so she turned back to her man. But he rejected her, and his girlfriend misunderstood her, so he assaulted her. At first, she could tolerate it, but yesterday, he might have actually killed her. So, she got scared and begged 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 it.]
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 you can help once, you will help again. People like Yang Dani are not good people.
If it really sucks blood back, you can't take it off.
"Rong Er, go and invite your cousin's husband!" Rong Er went to invite him immediately, and soon the man came.
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 fellow, you are just eating for free! 】
[He's not a good person. If he were to become an official, he would definitely extort money from the people!]
[Now you can't buy or sell official positions anymore, so there's no need to worry about that.]
The emperor handled this matter very 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!
When the cousin's husband heard this, he immediately knelt down and was so panicked that he even wet his pants.
"Eh~ Are you that scared? You even peed your pants!"
"Yeah, what are you afraid of? You're not afraid of killing people, but you're afraid of wetting your pants. Host, is your family so cruel?"
[Hey! That's not very kind. When was I ever 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 eat his melon. He's really murderous. Send him to the Dali Temple right away. I need to go back. It's too cold.]
[Okay, he killed his own child. A woman had given birth to a son for him before, but the child was born with a difficult labor, so he saved the older one. The child was so ugly at birth that he suspected it wasn't his own son, so he killed him.]
【What?】
Not only did he kill his own son, he also killed the maidservant. The body is still at the bottom of his lake. If you drain the water now, you can still find it.
"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. I want a divorce. After the divorce, I want to go back to my hometown. Please help me, aunt."
This woman has some ideas!
[Don't bother us. This little thing is nothing.]
After Ji Yingying said so, Fang Yulan said, "Okay, I'll help you get a divorce as compensation for picking this thing out for you. After the divorce, you can leave on your own."
"Thank you, aunt." She still had a lot of money in her hands, so she should be able to survive after returning.
Fang Yulan asked someone to write a divorce agreement. Her cousin-in-law was unwilling to sign it, but he didn't dare to 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?
In the end, they divorced, and a body was found in his house, and 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.
As soon as she entered the palace, Ji Yingying saw the prince handling government affairs, while the emperor was playing cards with the concubines in the harem.
"Your Majesty, have you come to your senses?"
"Now that I think about it, this kind of life is pretty good. After the New Year, I will let the prince take the throne."
[Oh dear, the poor prince is about to become the most miserable beast of burden.]
Prince: …………
Emperor: Yes, yes, he has stepped down!
"Today is New Year's Eve. Your Majesty, why did you call me into the palace?"
"What else could we do but have dinner together? Otherwise, why would we call you to the palace?"
Ji Yingying's eyes were as big as copper bells. She was asked to come to the palace in such a cold day just to have a meal?
