After lightly scolding her younger brother, Ji said sternly: "Since I married into the Hou Mansion, I am a member of the Hou Mansion! Don't mention the word "harmony" again!"
Peace and separation? She won't!
She worked hard for ten years before the Nan'an Marquis Mansion could regain its glory in the capital.
It's all her hard work.
Why should she give it to others?
Scanning Yan Hongfei's eyes darkly, Ji lowered her eyes, and an idea she had had in her heart for a long time became more and more firm.
Although the Nan'an Marquis Mansion was having fun watching it with gusto, Ji's words made everyone secretly nod.
Men, as long as they have enough to eat, how many of them don’t want to be embraced by their wives and concubines?
Of course, it is indeed despicable for Marquis Nan'an to secretly raise his wife and bring her children to the Marquis's residence in the name of relatives to support them.
However, it was just contempt.
Yan Hongfei was moved and took a step forward, trying to grab Ji's hand, but she dodged it.
Mrs. Prince Anguo wiped away her tears and said softly, "Mrs. Hou is really wronged. How about sending this bitch to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment? My son will work there, and everything will be cheap."
Yan Jiaojiao didn't even finish shedding tears, so she just burst into laughter when she heard this.
The Ninth Prince couldn't help but laugh, this Crown Prince's wife was very interesting.
Yan Hongfei was furious.
If he hadn't taken into account that the Crown Prince's wife was standing behind her, he would have almost wanted to roar at her.
Prison Department? Under thirty-six severe punishments, if Liu Xinyue went in, she might not even be able to get out with her whole body!
"The prison of the Ministry of Punishment?" Ji glanced at Liu Xinyue, who was about to faint, with disdain, "Is she worthy?"
"Ayu!" Yan Hongfei couldn't bear to see Liu Xinyue's miserable state.
He looked at Mr. Ji pleadingly, "When a woman goes to prison, even if she can get out, she has lost a layer of skin. In the future, people will criticize her innocence. How can you live in the world again? You are also a woman, why do you have to do this? To embarrass another poor woman?"
Ji looked at Yan Hongfei as if he were a stranger, and she really didn't understand. She had been blind for many years, and she actually regarded the man in front of her as an upright person.
"Then what does the Marquis say to do with it?"
Hearing that she seemed to be relenting, Yan Hongfei couldn't help but feel refreshed, "As long as you don't go to jail, I'll do whatever you want."
"Whatever I do..."
Ji's mouth curled up, revealing a smile that looked like frost and snow.
"Then, I want her to sign a contract of sale and become a concubine in the Marquis's mansion."
"This...this can't happen!"
Liu Xinyue was Yan Hongfei's heartthrob. Even if he was humiliated today, selling herself into the Marquis Mansion and being a lowly concubine... would be too insulting to her.
"Then there's no way."
Ji called out coldly, "Here comes someone!"
"Tear off that bitch's coat and send it to the Imperial Capital. Along the way, you should yell at me and tell everyone in the capital to see what kind of thing this is!"
Yan Hongfei's eyesight went dark and he almost passed away like his mother.
Not only was he sent to the Imperial Capital Mansion, but he also had to take off his clothes and let people watch!
"You are trying to force Yue'er to death! Ji, I never thought you could be so vicious!"
"I just want her to die. How will the Marquis treat her?"
Seeing that the two people were about to quarrel, the guests could no longer just watch and started to lobby.
"Hey, Mrs. Hou, calm down!"
"That's right. That bitch is just like a kitten or a puppy. Because she was so angry that she alienated the relationship between husband and wife, it actually promoted her!"
"Marquis Nan'an, it's you who are at fault in this matter! How can you argue with your first wife over a woman who has no place on the stage?"
"Yes, Mrs. Hou's request is not too much! She is allowed to enter the house. If it were anyone else, she would be beaten to death with a big stick!"
There was also someone who was close to Yan Hongfei and advised him in a low voice, "She's just an outside concubine, so what can you do if you just wrong her temporarily? Just wait until Madam Hou's anger subsides, and then you can pamper her more. Look, Zuo Du Yushi But I'm still here, my wife, I'm afraid the imperial censor's impeachment case will be all over the table tomorrow."
With all the persuasion, Yan Hongfei was helpless.
Rather than being sent to jail, asking Liu Xinyue to enter the house as a concubine is indeed the best way to eliminate the rumors.
At the moment, she could only ignore Liu Xinyue's tear-stained eyes of despair and nodded.
Ji sneered, "Master Hou is nothing more than that."
Immediately, he ordered someone to write the body deed and handed it to Yan Hongfei.
Yan Hongfei understood Ji's intention, gritted his teeth, signed Liu Xinyue's name, and walked up to Liu Xinyue himself. Regardless of her resistance, he grabbed her right hand that was tied behind her back and pressed her fingerprints.
After getting Liu Xinyue's deed of sale, Ji looked at it and put it away.
Then, he bowed to everyone, returned to his former dignity, and apologized politely: "Thank you all, ladies and gentlemen, for speaking up. Ji Yu will remember this deeply in my heart."
Even the censor Taizuodu, who had always been upright and strict, could not find any fault with Ji at this time.
Having had enough fun, all the guests left one after another.
Yan Hongfei personally sent everyone out.
After everyone's carriage had gone away, Yan Hongfei almost jogged back to Lihuayuan.
The Lihuayuan was deserted, not even Liu Xinyue's daughter Yan Wanwan was anywhere to be seen.
Yan Hongfei stamped his feet and hurried all the way to the peony garden.
After entering the door, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, everyone is here.
Just under the verandah of the Peony Garden, Liu Xinyue was still tied with a rope and kneeling on the veranda with a piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth.
Seeing him coming, Liu Xinyue's dim eyes immediately burst into light. Just as she was about to struggle and squirm towards Yan Hongfei, she was slapped on the head by a rough woman and rolled down the steps.
The mother-in-law had a dull face and said to Yan Hongfei, "It's all my wife's orders."
Mrs. Ji just said it directly and asked Liu Xinyue to kneel on the verandah. If she dared to move, she would just slap her in the face.
Yan Hongfei couldn't bear it and strode up the steps.
In the room, not only Ji Jishu Yan Jing was there, but even the Ninth Prince had not left. He was sitting on a chair in front of the window, dangling his legs.
The little cloud-white boots with gold thread hem were shining in the sunlight.
"How's Ah Rong doing?"
Yan Hongfei said sarcastically.
"Thanks to the Marquis, Ah Rong is still alive."
Ji said coldly.
Yan Hongfei frowned, "Ayu, do you have to be so sinister?"
"It's good if I'm willing to take care of you." Ji stood up suddenly, forcing Yan Hongfei to take a step back.
She stared into his eyes and said word by word, "I don't have to pursue anything that happened before. But from today on, Ms. Liu has sold herself to the Hou Mansion. I will fight if I want to, and sell if I want to sell. Hou. I'd better take good care of your sweetheart and don't mess with me!"
"you!"
Yan Hongfei was so angry that his face changed, and his originally handsome features became ferocious.
But Ji didn't care and sneered twice, "Here comes someone."
Yan Hongfei's eyelids twitched, and he intuitively felt that Liu Xinyue was in danger.
"Call everyone in the mansion."
"Aunt Liu has ulterior motives and intends to harm the Lord. According to the family law, she should be killed with a cane. She only gave birth to a child for the Marquis, so she opened her mouth to forty. Let everyone watch. If there is anything that confuses the Lord and causes chaos, he will be killed. Even if you beat him to death!"
