Rebirth: Miss Xiao doesn’t want the heir apparent anymore

"Of course I do." Ji Qiu lowered his head and replied sheepishly.

Butler Ji, who came to invite the two of them to dinner, was shocked when he saw this scene. No wonder the Marquis has been unwilling to let Miss Qiu get married. It turned out that he planned to keep Miss Qiu as his wife. The Marquis also hid it too deeply. He didn't even notice it.

During dinner, Ji Ruyu told Steward Ji: "Tomorrow I will buy clothes, jewelry, rouge and gouache for Ji Qiu, according to the specifications of Miss Hou Mansion. If anyone asks about Ji Qiu, tell them that Ji Qiu is my fiancée."

"Yes." Butler Ji replied with a smile on his face, thinking about buying things for the wedding first, since he would have to buy them sooner or later anyway.

Ji Qiu ate her meal in silence, and the smile on her face proved that she was very happy at the moment.

Within two days, the Minister of Household Affairs was accused of embezzlement. The evidence was conclusive. He was sentenced to death, his residence was ransacked, and his family property was confiscated. He never thought that the disaster would be caused by his children's rude remarks.

In the royal study

"Didn't you say that embezzlement by the Minister of the Ministry of Finance is not a big deal? Let's put it aside for now. Why do you want me to deal with him again?" Li Xiuhan sat in front of the case and asked doubtfully while looking at the document.Because King Huainan wanted to usurp the throne, he implicated too many ministers in the court. In order to keep the court running normally, only the ministers with more serious crimes were dealt with. Those who had committed corruption and bribery were released first, and then punished when there were ministers who could replace them. , Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance is just one of them.

Ji Ruyu sat to the side, sorting out the folders, with a faint smile on her lips, and replied: "The Minister of Hubu did his duty faithfully, but he was suppressed by the Minister of Hubu. As a Minister, since he cannot perform his duties well, then he should hand in Let the capable people sit here." He has tolerated people who dare to bully him for so many years, and he really thinks that they are easy to bully.

Li Xiuhan glanced at him and felt that he was very different today, so he asked: "Ruyu, is there something good? Could it be that you have fallen in love with some girl?" He had never seen him smile like this before. He is almost there, so it is normal for him to like any girl.

"It's not a girl from any other family, it's a girl from my own family." Ji Ruyu replied with a smile.

"My own girl? It can't be Ji Qiu, right?" He had already seen that he was different about Ji Qiu. It was not a brother's love for his sister, but a man's possessiveness towards women.

Ji Ruyu nodded, and Li Xiuhan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "When do you plan to get married?"

"After avenging my mother, we will get married." Ji Ruyu replied with a slight frown and a hint of anger.

next day

The Prince of Huainan was escorted back to the capital. When the family members of the women who had been oppressed and tortured by him heard the news, they blocked the road with vegetable leaves, fruit peels, and even rotten food in their hands. Everyone's face was filled with anger. The officials in charge of escorting looked at the people's posture and hid far away.

The prince of Huainan quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. How could they let him go? Thinking of what happened to his daughter, wives and concubines, he wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

After the people vented their anger, Prince Huainan was taken to Shuntian Mansion for interrogation.

Princess Lin'an's Mansion

"Princess, the prince has been taken to Shuntian Mansion. Why don't you go and see it?" A maid in pink clothes lowered her head and asked respectfully.

Li Jinran chuckled and said, "Look at what he does, that scumbag." The prince of Huainan was a lustful person. He berated all the maids in the palace. He also secretly raped people's daughters and wives, and cut them to pieces with thousands of swords. They all deserve it.
