She was flustered, wondering when he had arrived and how much he had heard. How could she defend herself?

"Husband..."

Fuling tried her best and said in a weak but firm voice: "Gu Qinlian poisoned the old lady. The evidence is in the grass. Please seek justice for the old lady and me..."

Before he could finish his words, Fuling died.

Gu Qinlian denied it flatly and tried to clear herself in panic: "No, husband, this bitch is framing me! She has always been resentful of me, you know. She wanted to take the opportunity to frame me. She also killed Yingxiang, yes, Yingxiang, it was all her idea. She did this because she hated the old lady for always bullying her. Fuling wanted to use this to frame me and put me to death..."

She desperately tried to dig herself out of this muddy water.

However, Ji Yinli was not a fool. He interrupted in a stern voice: "Enough! Gu Qinlian! Yingxiang is your personal maid. If it weren't for your instructions, how could she dare to do such a shocking thing! You have been dissatisfied with your mother for a long time. Can't I see it?"

"Just wait, I'm going to report you to the government! My Ji family will never allow a vicious woman like you to exist! I want to avenge my mother!"

Ji Yinli was terrified when he thought that there was such a vicious woman hiding by his side.

He was determined to send Gu Qinlian to jail.

Otherwise, he didn't know when he would die.

Gu Qinlian frantically crawled towards Ji Yinli, hugged his legs, and begged, "My husband, please don't tell on me. I really know I was wrong. I never thought of taking my mother's life, really. I was just tired of her endless calculations and wanted to add some twists and turns to her life. My mother's death was really an accident, please believe me."

Ji Yinli tried to break free from her entanglement.

Gu Qinlian was unwilling to let go. She rushed forward again and hugged him tightly: "Husband, don't be like this. Listen to me, I can help you rise to the top, I can help you pass the imperial examination, and I can also help you rank at the top of the court. Really, believe me. I have been reborn, and I know all the variables of the future!"

Ji Yinli sneered at this, his face full of disdain: "You are simply dreaming. I am mentally sound, how could I be deceived by your ridiculous words! The blood feud is deep and unforgettable!"

He held Gu Qinlian's hand tightly and dragged her down the mountain without saying anything.

Gu Qinlian struggled anxiously, trying to explain: "What I said is absolutely not nonsense! My love, have you ever thought about why I gave up the noble Prince Duan's Mansion and chose to follow you who is penniless?"

Ji Yinli's expression became increasingly gloomy. No man wants to be questioned about his achievements, especially by his wife!

Gu Qinlian continued, "My husband, I am not looking down on you, I am just stating the facts. Although you are still at the bottom of the valley, by the time of the next autumn examination, you will be able to rise to the top and take the second place. Please believe me!"

Ji Yinli's pace gradually slowed down, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes: "Is everything you said true?"

Gu Qinlian nodded desperately, her eyes full of sincerity: "It is absolutely true, these are all things that happened in my previous life. When I passed away, you had already reached the third rank, and at that time, you were only thirty-five."

Ji Yinli's eyes flashed with ecstasy: "Is that true?"

Gu Qinlian knew Ji Yinli's character very well, and felt a little comforted: "What you said is true."

However, Ji Yinli suddenly sneered: "Even if everything you said is true, what does it have to do with you? What I was able to accomplish in my last life, I can also accomplish in this life."

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Qinlian with a sharp gaze, questioningly: "Could it be that you can't wait to marry me because you know that I will have a brilliant future?"

Ji Yinli's heart suddenly started to ring with alarm bells.

Looking back, Gu Qinlian had done everything she could to please him before she married him.

He once thought that she was attracted by his talent and appearance, but now it seems that she is clearly attracted by his brilliant future!

Ji Yinli's face turned pale and he slapped Gu Qinlian loudly on the face.

"You are such a vicious woman, you almost ruined my reputation!"

He recalled the scandal with Gu Qinlian in the bookstore. It turned out that she had deliberately created all of this to ensure that she could marry him!

At that time, he was laughed at by his classmates and was always pointed at when he walked on the street.

Gu Qinlian was beaten so hard that she felt dizzy, but she dared not resist. She pleaded with tears in her eyes: "My husband, you misunderstood me. We were married in the previous life, and I gave birth to your eldest son. In the previous life, Gu Qinlan interfered and we missed more than ten years before we were reunited. I didn't want the tragedy to happen again, so I took some measures. But all this is because of my deep love for you!"

"I know I still have some shortcomings now, but my heart for you is always the same and I will never change my mind. Although you are talented and brilliant, you also went through many hardships in your previous life to reach that position. It must be that God has pity on our sufferings in our previous lives and allowed me to be reborn, to continue our relationship, and to help you so that your journey will be smoother."

"Don't you want to ascend to the pinnacle of power smoothly and become the one who is second only to one person and above everyone else?"

Ji Yinli's hands trembled with excitement, and his voice trembled a little: "Can I... really do this?"

Gu Qinlian nodded firmly: "Of course! My husband, do you want to know the questions for the next autumn exam? In your last life, you were only the runner-up, but in this life, you will be the top scorer! I will make you the brightest star, so that everyone will look up to you!"

Ji Yinli excitedly grasped Gu Qinlian's collar, his eyes flashing with urgency: "You really didn't hide anything from me?"

Gu Qinlian had gotten rid of her fear at this time. A fanatical light flashed in her eyes. She responded excitedly: "Why would I lie to you? I gave up the noble Prince Duan's Mansion and chose you. You should know that what I said is the truth. My love, as long as we are united as husband and wife and as long as you have faith in me, I am confident that I can make you famous and become the most trusted minister of the next emperor."

Ji Yinli was extremely excited, breathing rapidly, nostrils flaring, looking somewhat funny: "Okay, my love, I will do my best to get a place on the list of successful candidates and make you the number one scholar's wife."

Gu Qinlian's proud laughter echoed in the air: "That's just the beginning. My goal is to become a noble lady of super-grade imperial title. If I work harder, becoming a princess is not impossible."

Ji Yinli's eyes widened in shock. He quickly helped Gu Qinlian up from her kneeling position and carefully brushed the dust off her body.

Gu Qinlian felt extremely comfortable watching Ji Yinli's actions.

Since she married into the Ji family over the past six months, she has suffered a lot of grievances.

If she had known that Ji Yinli would be so caring and considerate, she should have told him the truth long ago.

Unfortunately, she had endured this for more than half a year in vain.
