After wiping Qingling's body, Ji Jiuying took out some spiritual spring water from her space and fed it to her, and also gave her a recovery pill to replenish her body's energy.
Then, Ji Jiuying used her mind to retrieve disinfectant, anti-inflammatory medicine, gauze, and other supplies from her spatial storage...
Immediately afterwards, he skillfully cleaned Qingling's wound and then bandaged it with gauze.
Luoxiang Courtyard.
Ji Fengyan arrived at Luoxiang Courtyard in tears after leaving Qinglan Courtyard.
"Mother, I almost died at the hands of that good-for-nothing just now. She also... she also killed Granny He," Ji Fengyan choked out.
"Waaaah~ If it weren't for my brother, I'm afraid I would never have seen you again, Mother."
"What? Yan'er, what happened? What happened to your face...?" Zhou Haiping was shocked when she saw the bloody wounds on her daughter's face.
Ji Fengyan embellished the story and told Zhou Haiping what had happened.
"This is outrageous! How dare she!" Zhou Haiping exclaimed angrily.
"Mother, that bitch suddenly has spiritual power. If the Third Prince finds out, will I have no chance to marry him? Yan'er has liked the Third Prince for so many years, and he also intends to marry me. Yan'er doesn't want all her efforts to be in vain," Ji Fengyan said pitifully.
Seeing her daughter's aggrieved look, Zhou Haiping comforted her with heartache, "Yan'er, don't worry, Mother will not let her stand in your way of becoming the Third Imperial Consort."
"How come this little bitch, who's been a good-for-nothing for almost ten years, suddenly has spiritual power?"
“I suspect that the person behind her is helping her. This morning, my brother and I went to Pear Blossom Courtyard and found that she wasn’t there at all,” Ji Fengyan said viciously.
Zhou Haiping also felt that what Yan'er said made perfect sense.
“If that’s the case, before she grows up…” Zhou Haiping said in a low voice, whispering in Ji Fengyan’s ear, making a gesture across her neck. Both of them revealed sinister expressions.
"I don't object to how you treat Jiu'er, but her life must be spared, otherwise our family will face annihilation." Ji Chenyuan's words to her echoed in her ears. As for the reason, he refused to tell her no matter what. She even suspected that he was deliberately saying such things to scare her in order to protect that good-for-nothing.
The Third Prince is the most likely among the princes to become the Crown Prince. If Yan'er marries him, she will likely become the future Empress. For the future of the Ji family and for Yan'er's happiness, she can't care about anything else.
"Alright, since your elder brother helped you refine the Heavenly-grade Rejuvenation Pill, don't be sad anymore. As for that poison, it shouldn't be a problem for him either. That little bitch, we just need to wait for the right opportunity..." Zhou Haiping had a lot of confidence in her son.
"Yes, thank you, Mother. Yan'er understands."
After hearing Zhou Haiping's words, Ji Fengyan felt much more at ease. She then realized that she would just have to endure it for now. Once she married the Third Prince, she would make Ji Jiuying kneel before her and beg for mercy.
Ji Jiuying had just finished her work and sat down when her adoptive father sent someone to invite her to the front hall.
“Miss…” Granny Zhang looked at Ji Jiuying with concern.
Ji Jiuying smiled and said, "Don't worry too much, I'll be fine. Take good care of Qingling and wait for me to come back."
When she encountered servants on the road, they would bow their heads and greet her cautiously, since the story of her strangling Granny He to death with her bare hands had already spread throughout the mansion.
In the front hall, Ji Chenyuan and the old lady sat in the main seats.
"Madam Zhou, what is it you wanted to do by calling me here?" the old lady asked.
The old lady usually eats and lives in the backyard and rarely comes to the front hall, unless it is a holiday or there is something going on at home.
"Grandma, a few days ago Yan'er was poisoned and her face was disfigured. Today, that person slashed her face with a knife. Please, Grandma, do justice!" Zhou Haiming said in grief and indignation.
"Such a thing is true?" the old lady exclaimed in surprise.
"Grandmother, look at Yan'er's face." Ji Fengyan lifted her veil to reveal shocking wounds and said aggrievedly.
"Oh dear, which heartless bastard dared to bully my precious granddaughter?" The old lady slammed her hand on the table, her eyes blazing with anger.
"Where's Feng'er? Quickly tell him to refine the Rejuvenation Pill, lest Yan'er's face be ruined," the old lady said again.
“Grandma, we’re still missing one ingredient. Ru Feng went to the Monster Forest to find it, and he should be back soon,” Zhou Haiping said.
“Grandmother, the murderer is Ji Jiuying.” Ji Fengyan pointed at Ji Jiuying, who was walking slowly towards them.
"What? Isn't Jiu Ying unable to cultivate? How could this be..." the old lady exclaimed in surprise.
"Grandma, Ji Jiuying has learned some kind of sorcery from somewhere. Yan'er is no match for her at all. My poor Yan'er's face has been ruined by her. How can she get married if she has scars? Waaah~" Zhou Haiping cried.
As soon as Zhou Haiping saw Ji Jiuying, she rushed towards her.
When he came up to Ji Jiuying, he raised his hand to hit her, but Ji Jiuying expressionlessly raised her foot and kicked him away.
"Madam!" Several servants rushed over in alarm.
Ji Jiuying looked at Zhou Haiping, crossed her arms, and said in an icy voice, "What? Do you want to end up like your daughter?"
"You bitch, what are you doing?" Ji Fengyan helped Zhou Haiping up.
"This is outrageous! I can't live anymore! How dare a junior hit me, the matriarch of the household! General, you must do justice for me!" Zhou Haiping cried out.
"You unfilial daughter, how dare you! Kneel down!" Ji Chenyuan said imposingly to Ji Jiuying after he realized what was happening.
This wretched daughter dared to hit his wife in front of so many servants; she has no respect for him as her father.
"Why should I?" Ji Jiuying retorted sarcastically.
"Why have you repeatedly beaten your sister, and now you're kicking your mother?" Ji Chenyuan asked angrily.
"Mother? Does she deserve that title? And are you blind? Didn't you see Aunt Zhou hit me without saying a word?" Ji Jiuying retorted.
When Zhou Haiping heard Ji Jiuying call her "Auntie," her face turned a deep shade of purplish-red.
For the past nine years, Ji Fengyan had ignored her bullying and insults. But when she resisted once, he sentenced her to death without even asking any questions or distinguishing right from wrong. It was truly ironic.
“You, there must be a reason why your mother hit you. Even if there isn’t, she’s your elder, and you should accept it. How could you kick her!”
"Should I endure this? Why should I endure this? Haven't I suffered enough in these nine years?" Ji Jiuying said with a smile. "According to you, if you, as elders, want to kill me, I can't resist and should just endure it?"
"You..." Ji Chenyuan was about to speak when the old lady interrupted, "Ji Jiuying, don't you know what you did today?"
"Grandmother, are you referring to the matter of me beating up Ji Fengyan and disfiguring her?" Ji Jiuying pretended to ponder.
Ji Fengyan's face paled considerably when she heard Ji Jiuying say it so bluntly.
Those almond-shaped eyes were fixed on Ji Jiuying, filled with hatred.
