Chapter 190: Domineering and Mighty (Part 1)
The strength of the medicine hadn't passed yet, and Ji Lingyu's vision was hazy.
When she heard someone seemed to be talking to her, she raised her hand and rubbed her eyes: "You... who are you..."
Along the way, she became very familiar with the voices of Huan Yu and others, so she was sure that the person speaking was a stranger.
"Who?" Huan Ji sneered, and then said coldly: "Enemy!"
Ji Lingyu trembled, and the scene in front of her gradually became clear.
Huan Yu, his bodyguard, and a young man she had never seen before.
Huan Ji evoked a hint of sarcasm.
You are so timid, where is the ruthlessness you used to harm others?
Ji Lingyu struggled to sit up straight and quickly looked around, her eyes finally stopping on Huan Yu's face.
"Why did you bring me to Weishui City?"
Huan Yu said calmly: "I don't do anything wrong, and I don't worry about knocking on the door in the middle of the night. When the princess was desperate, Ruoshui provided you with shelter, and you also opened a medical center here to save lives and heal the wounded.
Now that she has returned to her old place, the princess should be happy, but you are so panicked and angry. Could it be that you have done something to disgrace Ruoshui City?"
Ji Lingyu said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, I want to see Chun Yulan!"
"I'm afraid you will be disappointed. City Lord Chunyu is not in Ruoshui City."
"Then call Li Lusheng!"
Huan Ji couldn't see her arrogant look and said sternly: "Who do you think you are? You are so old that you can't even speak a human word!
Not to mention the absence of City Lord Chunyu, even if he is in Ruoshui City, you can't just see him if you want to.
As for Mr. Li, please answer a few questions first. If you answer them well, it’s not impossible for you to meet me."
Ji Lingyu raised her eyebrows: "Who are you?"
"If I don't change my name, I won't change my surname. It is Huan Ji, the third son of the Huan family who was not killed by you back then!"
Ji Lingyu looked at him carefully: "So you are that Qiao's son..."
Huan Ji said: "You vicious woman, did my mother provoke you or provoke you? Are you going to kill her?"
Ji Lingyu said disapprovingly: "Who told her to overestimate her capabilities? A country squire's daughter actually fantasized about being the princess' wife of a county official.
If not, why would she listen to Mr. Yao's instigation and go to the medical clinic to get that medicine?
Feng Yan was the princess of the Jin Kingdom. She married Huan Yan in order to use the power of the Huan family to avenge the emperor's brother and his wife.
If Mr. Qiao were to give birth to a son, wouldn't she have sacrificed herself in vain?"
The Huan brothers had already figured out the dispute between Ji Fengxing, Huan Yan and Qiao two years ago.
Therefore, Ji Lingyu's attempt to sow discord sounds very similar, but it has no effect at all.
But the brothers also had to admit that this woman's intentions were extremely sinister. No wonder she would collude with King Yong.
Huan Ji looked at her twitchy face and wished he could slap her.
Huan Yu took his arm and said, "Don't dirty your hands. People like her are already hopeless. There are many ways to punish her."
"Huan Yu!" Ji Lingyu shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Don't forget who I am? Your mother and I are not only aunt and nephew, we also grew up together.
Now you are going to do harm to me for the sake of the son of a woman who wants to step on your mother?"
Huan Yu said coldly: "Ji Lingyu, you don't have to waste your time making up stories, we already know the whole story.
The reason why I won't be cruel to you is, firstly, for my mother's sake; secondly, because her death is not directly related to you.
But you have to understand one thing: people always have to take responsibility for what they have done.
Since you have done something evil, you must pay the price for it.
I can take your life, but I can't let you continue to live a pampered life as if nothing happened."
Ji Lingyu's face became very ugly.
Of course she doesn't want to die, but she also doesn't want to suffer.
Over the past twenty years, she has suffered too much.
Now her enemy is dead, her son has grown up, and King Yong has been captured. Her good life has just begun. How could she...
"Huan Yu, how on earth are you going to let me go?" She lowered her body completely and said in a pleading tone.
Huan Yu was not moved at all, his voice was still cold.
"You are not very clear-headed right now, so you should calm down for a few days before talking."
After that, he asked Huan Ji: "Where is King Yong being imprisoned now?"
Huan Ji said: "The dungeon in the mansion."
Huan Yu said with a smile: "Ruoshui City is a peaceful place. I thought the dungeon was very empty, so I asked her to be a neighbor to King Yong.
By the way, I remember that there was another Princess of Jin State imprisoned there, and it seems that the two of them had quite some friendship.
I haven’t seen you for so many years, I’m sure there will be a lot to say.”
Ji Lingyu was furious: "Boy, what are you thinking about?"
If King Yong is the man she least wants to see, then Ji Fubing is the woman she least wants to see.
Huan Yu looks like a cool guy, but he didn't expect his methods to be so despicable.
It would be better to just kill her than lock her up with those two people.
Huan Yu chuckled and said, "I'm just letting you reminisce about old times. But if Princess Jialan can find out some useful information while reminiscing about old times, she might have a chance to see Wei Congyun marry and have children."
"You—" Ji Lingyu stared at Huan Yu, as if she wanted to pounce on him and bite him hard.
"Brother Aliang, I'll leave this matter to you." Huan Yu ordered and pulled Huan Ji out.

Hua Xiaohan had just sent the stewards away when he heard from Liu Xia that Huan Yu was back.
While wiping the water stains on her hands, she asked, "When did you get into the problem of hesitating?"
Liuxia has a sharp temper and is very articulate. Today is indeed a bit unusual.
She pouted and said, "I heard that Ji Fengzhuo's daughter Ji Xinyuan also came with the second young master."
"Ji Fengzhuo's daughter?"
Hua Xiaohan threw the handkerchief into the basin and coldly snorted: "Let's go and meet the Princess of Jin Kingdom for a while!"
Chuixue said with a smile: "Madam, I see that you are not going to receive guests, but that you want to fight."
"Xiao Bi is not here, so of course I have to look after the situation for her.
I don’t believe it anymore, how dare she do anything on our territory!”
Liu Xia and Chui Xue held back their laughter and followed her to the courtyard of Duke Huan.
Ji Xinwan was sitting on pins and needles when he saw a young woman with a very distinctive appearance walking in with her maid.
Old Duke Huan smiled at her and said, "Your Highness, this is my third granddaughter-in-law, Aji's wife."
Ji Xinwan was blessed: "It turns out she is my third cousin, and my little sister is so polite."
Hua Xiaohan looked her over quickly, returned the favor briefly, and then smiled and said, "I heard Aji talk about his cousin, and it turns out that she is such an iconic figure."
The two maids following her secretly glanced at each other.
