Chapter 330 After Revenge, You Fall in Love with Him Again? 15
Many invitations were sent to the palace from the imperial city. When Ji Yanli attended a banquet, someone asked what would happen to the former wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. Ji Yanli said frankly: "Her health has been getting worse. The house used to be very lively, but now it's just the two of us. She always feels lonely and scared, and keeps talking about going to the hot spring villa to recuperate."
Others could understand it. Her biological children and husband were all dead, but her illegitimate son happened to be promising and inherited the title.
I want to move to another house to rest and recuperate, so that out of sight, out of mind.
The topic was quickly changed. Apart from the events on the battlefield, everyone was concerned about how to establish a good relationship with this new noble in the court. The young General of Cavalry, coupled with his status as a marquis, carried a great deal of weight.
As for the former wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, no one really cares.
After finishing the tasks at hand, Prince Rong gave Ji Yanli the position of leader of the imperial guards in the capital. Prince Rong promoted officials in such a high-profile manner, but the old emperor did not react at all.
He has run out of gas.
Half a month before the New Year, the old emperor passed away.
Prince Rong succeeded to the throne smoothly.
Ji Yanli also became a close minister to the emperor.
When I saw the former wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, now the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion, again, her arrogance had been worn away, and her eyes were dead, but she still kept explaining: "I didn't, I didn't do it, I didn't."
The dirty groom kept kneeling down and kowtowed, begging for mercy.
"My Lord, please let me go. It was the old lady who forced me to do this. She said that the Duke of Zhenguo died early, leaving her alone. She felt very lonely. If I don't obey, she will kill my whole family!"
"The slave had no choice!"
The old lady closed her eyes in humiliation. She knew that this was exactly the same trap she had set for Aunt Du. She had no way to defend herself. After her children died, she had no intention of living anyway, so she said no more and slammed herself against the pillar beside her to show her determination to die.
No one stopped her. At this moment, she was the one who brought shame to the Marquis' Mansion. She would die in the end. It would be better for her to die than to be killed by others. It would also sound better if it were spread out.
With a "bang", blood splattered everywhere.
The old lady lay on her back on the floor, relief in her eyes.
"Regardless of whether she was forced or not, the old lady is already yours. After she dies, you bury her in your family's ancestral tomb, which will be considered as fulfilling her love for you."
Ji Yanli sighed, and she rolled her eyes in disbelief and looked over there.
"no, do not want……"
She was the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, and now the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion. She would be buried in the ancestral tomb of the Marquis' Mansion, together with the Duke of Guo, and be worshipped by her descendants for generations...
Ji Yanli's eyes were full of mockery, as if to say, you don't have any descendants.
"From now on, she is your wife, and you will take care of her affairs. When you die, you will be buried with her."
"Slave...slave understands."
"You bastard...how dare you!"
Until she took her last breath, the old lady still had her eyes wide open with an unwilling look on her face.
Did she regret it? Perhaps she did, but she didn't regret treating Aunt Du like that, nor did she regret mistreating and humiliating her original body. She only regretted not killing her sooner.
Ji Yanli never married in this life and had no intention of leaving behind bloodlines. His original body was born under duress. He and Aunt Du lived their entire lives in the schemes of those in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. There wasn't even false family affection around them. How could the Duke of Zhenguo, who did nothing, deserve to be worshipped by his descendants?
He is suitable for having no descendants.
Because of this, even though Ji Yanli was very powerful and had military authority in his hands, he was not feared.
He used the same boxing techniques that he had taught Ah Qing to train his troops. Many martial arts champions called him their mentor. Even though he had no children in his life, when he was dying, many people stayed by his bedside to show their filial piety to him.
