Qian Yumei had lost a tooth and had scratches on her face. She didn't dare to show her true face and wore a veil. She glanced at the dowry list and was filled with resentment.
But facing Ji Fenglin, she could never say no. If she dared to say so, he would immediately say, "Didn't you ask for all this?"
Really, just this one sentence left her speechless.
Seeing Qian Yumei remained silent, Ji Fenglin's face darkened. "I'll give you three days to sort it out. Don't wait until the people from Jingzhao Prefecture come to urge you. Can you do it?"
"Yes! I will definitely get it done."
Qian Yumei dared not to do it. After so many years, he knew Ji Fenglin's hatred and dissatisfaction with her. Although the things that happened back then were all dealt with, he was not a fool and could not hide it from him at all.
If it weren't for the lady's strong protection back then, she might have been kicked out by Ji Fenglin long ago, and she couldn't even think about being the wife of Duke Chengguo for so many years.
"You'd better get everything done for me. If you can't appease Yufeng this time, and she doesn't go to Jingzhao Prefecture to withdraw the lawsuit, she will find out what you did back then."
Ji Fenglin didn't say anything, but stared at Qian Yumei coldly, putting pressure on her.
Qian Yumei argued: "Why would Master think that my sister's death was related to me? How wronged am I?"
"Grievance? You planned the fire and won the position of the Duke's wife, how can you feel aggrieved?" Ji Fenglin looked at Qian Yumei sarcastically, "Put away your hypocritical attitude! The people you thought you had killed are now in the hands of the Duke.
If it weren't for the fact that Madam Tai was determined to keep the family's shame from being exposed, do you think you could still sit here peacefully?"
Hearing this, Qian Yumei trembled all over and slid off the stool to the floor. She stared at Ji Fenglin in disbelief.
"Master! Do you know what you are saying? If I have a bad reputation, will it be good for the Chengguo Mansion?"
"That depends on what you and your good mother can do." Ji Fenglin said nonchalantly, "What does your bad reputation have to do with us at the Chengguo Mansion? The most our Ji family can bear is the infamy of marrying an unvirtuous wife and bringing disaster to our children and grandchildren.
But you and your mother will be arrested and thrown into prison, and your heads will fall off. Qian Yumei! I've let you sit on the throne of the Duke of Chengguo and enjoy the prestige for so many years, isn't that enough?"
Qian Yumei's face was as pale as paper. She had always known that Ji Fenglin had no feelings for her, but she didn't expect him to be so heartless.
She hates it so much.
"If something happens to me, my two sons will definitely not stand idly by."
"Hey! Sons? Look at what kind of things you gave birth to." Ji Fenglin got angry when he mentioned his sons, "The eldest son was taught to be submissive by you, and the second son was spoiled by you into a playboy.
What can they do? Cry and yell? Two good-for-nothings, without you, their mother, what good can they do?
Qian Yumei! You have ruined the Chengguo Mansion. The two legitimate sons are idiots and good for nothing. How dare you mention them to me? "
"Isn't it because the master never cared about them? If he had taught them with all his heart, why would it turn out like this today?" Qian Yumei was also angry. She ignored everything and yelled at Ji Fenglin.
“Bang!”
Ji Fenglin stood up, raised his hand and gave her a big slap in the face. Not satisfied with the slap, he kicked her again.
"Teach them? Why? You killed my first wife, why should I teach your children? I originally had a legitimate son, he was very good, very outstanding, at a young age he passed the imperial examination and became an official in the court.
It is you, this vicious woman, who has ruined my life. If it weren't for you, how could Yufeng not come back for so many years? Why would my son not recognize me? "
"Hmph! I don't know who the slut Qian Yufeng had sex with and gave birth to this bastard, but she chose to frame the master. It's ridiculous." Qian Yumei was beaten and became furious. She spoke without caring about anything.
“Bang!”
Ji Fenglin slapped her again and pinched her chin fiercely: "Don't stir up trouble here. That child is obviously from my Ji family. It's a pity that he doesn't want to recognize his ancestors.
Qian Yumei! I have the leverage over you, so you'd better do whatever I tell you to do. If you piss me off, I'll definitely send you and your mother to Jingzhao Prefecture.
My Chengguo Mansion is still prosperous without you. But if you leave Chengguo Mansion, you will become a prisoner."
Qian Yumei didn't dare to argue anymore. The beating on her face was so painful that blood was dripping from the corner of her mouth.
She never dreamed that all the people she wanted to kill were saved by Ji Fenglin. If they were all taken to Jingzhao Prefecture, she would be finished.
Also, it's horrible that he knew his mother was involved in this.
He actually knew everything. He had been keeping it to himself for so many years. Was he waiting for Qian Yufeng to appear?
"Did the master always know that my sister was not dead?"
"Yes and no."
Ji Fenglin sat on a chair, looking down at Qian Yumei, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, with ridicule, contempt and disgust in his eyes.
"Yufeng is an extremely calm and composed person. She is not so easy to be killed. This is my obsession in my heart. I don't think my wife left just like that. She must have hidden herself, but I don't know where.
When you sent someone to kill the people who worked for you, I knew everything and was going to punish you. But the Madam was soft-hearted and let you go for the sake of the reputation of the Chengguo Mansion.
After so many years, Yufeng finally came back, and what should be given to her must be returned to her. I promised to divorce her, what else are you not satisfied with?"
Qian Yumei laughed at herself: "What can I be satisfied with? I am the wife of Duke Chengguo, but has the master ever liked me for a single day?"
Ji Fenglin sneered: "What you want is not the position of the wife of Duke Chengguo? When did you ask for my favor? Isn't everything you have now obtained by you?"
This sentence again.
Qian Yumei closed her eyes and tears slowly fell: "As a woman, naturally, I want to seek the favor of my husband. How can the title of a wife be equal to the warmth of my husband?"
"You knew that too?" Ji Fenglin put away the smile on his face, and instantly his face was full of anger, "You killed my wife, but I want to pamper you? Do you think you deserve it?
Qian Yumei! You are really greedy! You have already got what you wanted, but you still want more. You are so greedy that you deserve to die."
Being scolded by the person she loves, Qian Yumei completely exploded: "Ji Fenglin! Why do you look down on me? What's so good about Qian Yufeng? Why are you still obsessed with her after she left for so many years?"
"Why? Because she is kinder, wiser, and more intelligent than you. If I had given her the management of the Chengguo Mansion, it would never have become the dilapidated state it is now.
Look at the son you gave birth to and the son Yufeng gave birth to. There is a huge difference between them. You are not even as good as a hair of Yufeng."
