Chapter 167



Qu Moying did not leave the mourning hall. After Yu Dong changed the eye veil for her, she knelt on the side, picked up the paper money in front of the mourning hall, and put it into the fire basin.

Before the coffin was moved to the graveyard, there was no one else in the mourning hall except for Concubine Xiang. She did not even see the two brothers of the Ji Family that day. She did not know where they went.

Both of them were actually nowhere to be seen.

The reason why Ji Yuanxing was not here must be that Ji Youran was here. Maybe they were discussing something. This was the first time that Ji Youran had returned to the mansion in the past few days. Xiao would definitely discuss something at this time. The most important thing was finding an heir to her father. If they turned this proposal down at this time, there might be unforeseen events in the future. In the end, this matter would be dragged on and be left unsettled.

After all, her father was gone, and so was Ji Hanyue. How could Concubine Xiang defeat the others of the Ji Family alone?

The reason why Ji Yuanhai was not here should be that Ji Yuanxing was not here. Xiao definitely did not want Ji Yuanhai to become the heir. Her own son should be the one to inherit the title of Earl Ling’an in the future. How could she let a concubine-born son take advantage of this? At this critical moment, she would not allow Ji Yuanhai to approach Concubine Xiang.

Her gaze fell on the fire basin and she sneered in her heart. If Ji Yuanhai could not inherit the title of Earl Ling’an, she would rather destroy the title than let it fall into the hands of the Ji Family’s second branch.

Everyone in the second branch had harmed her father, Ji Hanyue, and her sister. How could she let them go?

As the paper money fell, the flames surged fiercely. However, there was only coldness in her eyes, and her heart was empty. She could not feel any warmth, only sadness and despair.

The sound of footsteps came from the door. Qu Moying looked up and saw Xiao walking in with Ji Youran and Ji Yuanxing. Ji Yong’an also appeared. There were a few people from the Ji Family and some close relatives. Qu Moying knew many of them, who even sweet-talked her in the past. But now, they all surrounded Ji Youran.

A cold smile appeared as her cherry lips curled. If she had not been reborn, she would not have seen such a wonderful sight in front of her now.

A few servants came in to pick up the coffin. The coffin was moved, and just as they were about to walk forward, a manager hurriedly came in and reported to Ji Yong’an, “Second Master, Lord Yun Mansion’s men are here.”

“What?” Ji Yong’an was shocked, and hurriedly asked, “Who?”

“People from Lord Yun Mansion,” The manager wiped his sweat and repeated.

“Invite them in, now.” Ji Yong’an hurriedly said. He picked up a corner of his robe and walked out.

Qu Moying looked up at Ji Yong’an’s anxious back. Her eyes were full of ridicule. Ji Yong’an did not even ask who it was before he went out directly. Ji Yong’an was really useless. Anyway, it was impossible for Pei Yuanjun to come here personally.

As expected, the one who followed Ji Yong’an in later was Ji Hai, Pei Yuanjun’s personal eunuch, who brought a few young eunuchs with him. After entering, Ji Hai first stepped forward respectfully and lit a few sticks of incense. Then, he actually bowed respectfully, turned to Ji Yong’an, and said, “Lord Yun ordered me to add three more sticks of incense. He said that Earl Ling’an was a hero, and he admired Earl Ling’an very much.”

“Yes, okay, okay!” Ji Yong’an nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face. He didn’t even hear Ji Hai’s words clearly before answering, “Yes, yes, that’s how it should be.”

Ji Hai went forward to offer three more sticks of incense, still extremely respectful.

Then, Ji Yong’an accompanied him to the side. Ji Youran had a livid face. If it were Lord Yun who came, it would be reasonable for Ji Yong’an to behave like this. After all, there were very few people who could keep their composure in front of Lord Yun. However, this person in front of him right now was only a eunuch. Even though he was Lord Yun’s personal eunuch, he was still only a eunuch, a servant. Seeing Ji Yong’an lose his composure and act so reverent, Ji Youran really couldn’t bring herself to like him.

No matter what, he was the father of Princess Ji.

Embarrassing Ji Yong’an was equivalent to embarrassing Ji Youran.

She coughed softly and wanted to speak, but her mother, Xiao, reached out and pulled her sleeve, indicating that she should not speak.

Ji Youran shut her mouth resentfully, her face as gloomy as ink.

“Sir, I beg Lord Yun to uphold justice for Earl Ling’an.” Concubine Xiang suddenly jumped out from the side and pounced on Ji Hai. Ji Hai was given a fright. The two eunuchs standing behind him hurriedly rushed forward to protect him.

Qu Moying was also shocked. Before this, she asked Concubine Xiang to find an opportunity when the coffin was being moved and rush to the front of the coffin to beg for an heir for her father. Concubine Xiang should make a big fuss step by step according to Qu Moying’s plan. In the end, she could present this matter to the Emperor. As long as the Emperor saw her father’s “will”, he would definitely agree to let her father have an heir.

But it was unexpected that Concubine Xiang would pounce on Ji Hai at this time. However, she had to agree with Concubine Xiang’s doing. This method was actually more useful than rushing to the front of the coffin. After all, Ji Hai was showing goodwill to her father on behalf of Lord Yun.

Compared to the others, it was obvious that Lord Yun was of higher importance. Although Ji Hai was a eunuch, he could still report the matter to Lord Yun. As long as Lord Yun intervened, it was highly likely that this matter would succeed.

Concubine Xiang obviously thought of this point and that was why she rushed out at this time. Qu Moying held Yu Dong’s hand and slowly stood up. Her fierce gaze passed through the eye veil and landed on Ji Hai.

After Ji Hai was given a fright, he then saw a woman dressed in mourning clothes rushing over. Knowing that it had something to do with Earl Ling’an, he immediately waved his hand, and the two eunuchs retreated. His gaze swept over Qu Moying, who slowly stood up, and landed on the woman in front of him. He asked gently, “Who are you? What do you want to say?”

“Someone! Come and drag Concubine Xiang away so that she won’t disturb our honored guest with her nonsense.” Xiao couldn’t hold back anymore and stood out to speak loudly.

Two rough-looking old maids came out from behind her and fiercely charged over, wanting to pull Concubine Xiang.

Xiao had already prepared some maids for fear that Concubine Xiang would not be willing to give up on this. Just now, she and Ji Youran had agreed that they must find an opportunity to pull Concubine Xiang down, lest she would cause another trouble.

In the past few days, Concubine Xiang had been guarding the mourning hall. She had been quiet and did not cause any trouble. Thus, even if they wanted to make a move on her, there was no reason.

Therefore, just as Concubine Xiang rushed out, Xiao hurriedly asked her maids to come forward.

The two rough-looking old maids had already grabbed Concubine Xiang’s hand and were about to drag her away.

“Sir, please help me beg Lord Yun. Please help Earl Ling’an. He was a hero in his life. In the past, he respected Lord Yun the most. Now, he can only rely on Lord Yun. I hope that you can tell Lord Yun to help Earl Ling’an.” Concubine Xiang cried loudly as she struggled.

The two old maids dragged her down with all their might. She couldn’t resist and was dragged backwards.

She was about to be pulled out of the mourning hall.

Qu Moying looked at Ji Hai and pursed her lips. Just as she was about to step forward, she saw Ji Hai’s face darken. “Wait!”

The two eunuchs who stayed behind him stepped forward. They walked up to the two rough-looking old maids and did not make a move. They only stared at the two old maids in a frightening way. The old maids had never seen such a situation before. They were so scared that they trembled. They loosened their hands and hurriedly turned to Xiao on the other side.

Concubine Xiang’s hands were free. She hurried forward and wailed in front of Ji Hai. “Sir, I beg you to ask Lord Yun to help Earl Ling’an. He was loyal to the country, and our Second Lady… was…”

Concubine Xiang sobbed as she spoke.

Qu Moying’s clenched hands relaxed, and her face relaxed. With Yu Dong’s support, she stood still, quietly watching the development of the situation.

“Concubine Xiang, don’t you talk nonsense.” Hearing Concubine Xiang’s words, Xiao became anxious. She took two steps forward and scolded. Then she said to Ji Hai with a smile. “Sir, she is a concubine of Earl Ling’an. Previously, because her mind was not clear, she had been locked up. This time, because Earl Ling’an was gone, she was released and was asked to guard the mourning hall for two days. Unexpectedly, she got confused again and offended you. It’s all our fault. Someone, come to…”

Xiao was about to call for someone to pull Concubine Xiang away, but she saw Ji Hai shake his head and say lightly, “Second Madam Ji, please wait a moment. Since it is Earl Ling’an’s last wish, it is better to listen.”

“Eunuch Ji Hai, this is our family matter. Even if Lord Yun is here, he should not intervene in this kind of thing.” Seeing that Ji Hai was really going to intervene, Ji Youran really could not bear it. She stepped forward and interrupted coldly.

“Greetings, Princess Ji.” Ji Hai seemed to have just seen Ji Youran. He turned his head and bowed to her.

Ji Youran slowly walked over with a smile on her face. There was a sense of propriety in her words. “Eunuch Ji Hai, you are too polite. This is our family matter. The Crown Prince has come over just now, but he is not in good health, so he is resting somewhere else now.”

“Princess Ji, has the Crown Prince been dealing with this matter?” Ji Hai raised his eyebrows and asked.

“This is originally the Crown Prince’s business.” Ji Youran raised her head slightly. Even though she was afraid of Lord Yun, she was not afraid of a eunuch.

“And what will the Crown Prince do?” Ji Hai thought for a moment and asked again.

“What the Crown Prince will do is naturally not something that can be casually asked.” Ji Youran said with a cold smile.

“Since the Crown Prince will do something, I’ll just go back and report it to Lord Yun.” Ji Hai said with a smile. His words were very tactful.

The corners of Qu Moying’s lips moved, and a trace of nervousness flashed through her eyes. She reached out and nudged Yu Dong, who was standing at the side. Yu Dong understood and helped her walk towards the coffin.

Did this mean that Lord Yun would no longer intervene in this matter? Concubine Xiang was anxious. Just now, she thought that Lord Yun would definitely be willing to help if she rushed out and revealed the matter since Lord Yun was so respectful to Earl Ling’an.

She did not expect that the moment Ji Youran appeared, this eunuch from Lord Yun Mansion would be rendered speechless.

There was no turning back. Looking at the two old maids behind Xiao who were about to come over again, Concubine Xiang gritted her teeth and said in a mournful voice, “Sir, I can’t fulfill your last wish. They force me too much, and I am powerless. I am willing to accompany you in the underworld to redeem my sins. Originally, I wanted to fulfill your wish so that you would not be left with no descendants and have no one showing up at your anniversary in the future.”

As Concubine Xiang spoke, under everyone’s shocked gazes, she closed her eyes and rushed fiercely towards the coffin before her.

She rushed forward with all her might, and it could be seen that she was wholeheartedly courting death…
