Reborn to be a mistress, she went crazy killing the legitimate daughter

Ji Siyue immediately pulled Shen Yiran's hand and said, "Mother, what I mean is that we have to hold a banquet at home this time. If that princess really bullies Tuantuan, we will fight back at the banquet!"

Bo Jinnian, who was listening, said softly, "Don't mess around."

Shen Yiran protected Ji Siyue and said, "Why not? Just because she is a princess, can she bully the people in our mansion?"

Ji Siyue was very happy to hear this and hugged Shen Yiran: "Mom is the best!"

Bo Jinian was not sure whether Shen Yiran was just talking, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Things may not be like that."

Shen Yiran did not back down either. He stroked Ji Siyue with a smile and said, "No matter if she is like that or not, if it is Yue'er who was injured today, I won't care even if it is the princess."

Ji Siyue heard that she had to sleep with Shen Yiran that night and refused to separate.

The next day, Ji Sicheng sent out an invitation and made an appointment to meet Ning Wang's Prince Li Chengqi at Ning Wang's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, I was led to a pavilion. I guess this place is usually where male guests are received.

There is a straight road from the river bank, and a stone bridge connects to the pavilion in the lake. The piers of the stone bridge are made up of stone lanterns. At night, candles should be lit one by one to make the place bright.

According to Tuantuan's description, this should be the place where she was humiliated.

Ji Sicheng sat down and chatted casually. The two of them were talking very happily. When the maid came up to add tea, she saw a group of people wearing pearl rings and emeralds walking by the river.

Ji Sicheng looked carefully and saw a woman in an orange dress in the center, who must be the princess.

Li Chengqi noticed Ji Sicheng's gaze and said with a smile, "That's my sister. We held a banquet for her eighth birthday yesterday."

Ji Sicheng smiled and said, "I know, my sister also went to participate, and she cried all night when she returned home yesterday."

Li Chengqi was very surprised when he heard this. He bowed his hands and apologized, "Isn't this because we were negligent? I don't know why this happened?"

So Ji Sicheng told him about Tuantuan’s story.

Li Chengqi clapped his hands and jumped up, saying, "Ah, this really happened. A young lady did break in last night and scared us."

"Are you scared?"

Li Chengqi sat down and said, "Is that right? We were drinking and writing poetry together in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, listening to the Qiang flute playing on the stage, and we were having a lot of fun when suddenly a young lady came in."

"Everyone knows that many young ladies came tonight, and they didn't dare to say anything. Then my sister sent a maid to say something, and the young lady ran away crying."

Ji Sicheng heard the difference between the two sides' descriptions, but he did not question them first, but asked: "What did you say?"

Li Chengqi nodded his head, looking very embarrassed to speak.

"I hope Brother Li can tell me."

"Ah, if she had taken the wrong road."

Seeing that he was in a very difficult situation, Ji Sicheng did not think that he was trying to cover up for the princess, but for his own face, so he stood up and saluted, saying, "Brother Li, please tell me. If my sister is wrong, I will go back and tell her."

Li Chengqi pulled Ji Sicheng to sit down and said, "She is full of talent but has nowhere to express it. Is she trying to compete with a man? We clearly agreed to go to the lotus pond, why did she sneak here alone?"

"Well, that's what happened. Don't be angry, brother. It's all a misunderstanding!"

Ji Sicheng had never expected this to happen, and felt extremely ashamed. He could hardly sit still. He endured it and said, "My sister drank some wine that night, and she might be drunk. Please don't mention this matter, brother. Thank you!"

Li Chengqi immediately pulled Ji Sicheng to sit down and changed the subject.

Who knew that the princess who was walking on the shore heard that the person in the pavilion was the son of the marquis's mansion, so she looked over carefully.

But Ji Sicheng was a handsome man with good behavior, even better than her brother.

"How can a sister like that have a brother like that? I'm afraid it's the same play, right?"

After Ji Sicheng said goodbye and left, he stopped Li Chengqi and asked him.

"Brother, that person might be a hypocrite. Why don't you have less contact with them?"

Li Chengqi heard this and shook his head, saying, "Nonsense! This person is the most educated and intelligent person in our private school."

"But his sister is really annoying. I don't believe it."

Li Chengqi laughed and said, "If you don't believe me, wait until the banquet at the Marquis' Mansion and then go there secretly and you will find out."

Princess Li Chengxing heard this, thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go with you, what are you afraid of?"

Ji Sicheng returned home and told Shen Yiran the whole thing quietly. His face turned red as he spoke, and a serious look appeared on his face, which had never been angry before.

"It's not my place to take care of this matter, so I won't do it."

Shen Yiran heard this and believed what Li Chengqi said.

After being married into the Marquis's Mansion for five years, what could Shen Yiran not know about Tuan Tuan, whom she lives with day and night?

She looks delicate and graceful, and acts like a lady from a noble family, but in fact she likes to take shortcuts and wants to marry into a wealthy family. She is capable of such behavior.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Tuan Tuan might have thought that Li Chengqi was the only one in the pavilion that night, so he took the risk to break in. However, he ran into a group of young masters and was bluntly pointed out by the princess, which made him so ashamed.

"Just say you didn't see it, and pretend you don't know anything."

Ji Siyue didn't believe that Tuantuan would do this: "I don't think Li Chengqi is telling the truth, is he?"

Shen Yiran thought about it, but he didn't want to say anything bad about Tuan Tuan, so he said, "Si Cheng, you go and invite everyone to the banquet in three days. Then we'll know the truth."

Ji Sicheng was annoyed by Ji Siyue and had no choice but to agree.

No one mentioned the matter again. Shen Yiran was busy preparing the banquet. In order to balance the relationship between the first and second wives, Shen Yiran asked Xu to help manage the coal store.

Now that the weather is getting cooler, the coal shop business is booming, so Xu was very happy to take over.

Without them to argue with him, Shen Yiran felt much more relaxed.

Three days passed quickly and the banquet began.

The old lady came out in person to receive the dukes, princesses, and other ladies, who sat on the second floor, with Xu and Rong Qingqing accompanying them.

Bo Jinxiu and Bo Jinjue very actively led the male guests to the courtyard next door to watch a play and drink. Bo Jinnian greeted them at the door, and Shen Yiran arranged and coordinated all matters inside.

The banquet was lively and went smoothly.

Ji Siyue wanted to meet Princess Li Chengxing, so when he heard that she was coming, he deliberately walked over to see who she was.

But it was just a girl with a pink face like a porcelain doll, who was very well behaved and lively. She was chatting and laughing on the second floor, making all the ladies laugh.

Ji Siyue and Tuantuan both sat with the old lady and received a lot of praise, especially Tuantuan, who tried very hard to please her, which made Ji Siyue feel uncomfortable.

She thought, if the princess was a bad-hearted person, why would she just watch coldly and not expose Tuantuan?
