After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

Chapter 217 Prince Jing will definitely kill you.

Such a drastic change caused Song Jinwan's legs to buckle and she almost collapsed to her knees. Her imperial brother had actually been demoted to a commoner!?

I never expected the punishment to be so severe; Father must be truly enraged!

Song Jinwan didn't know much about these official matters, and she really didn't know what her elder brother and maternal grandparents' family were doing, but now...

Even Song Jinwan knew that going to the palace to plead for mercy would only add fuel to the fire. She couldn't care less about her maternal grandparents' family, and her mother and brother were not in immediate danger, but Xie Yunqi was about to be executed. Right now, the only person she could barely protect was probably Xie Yunqi.

"Help this princess change her clothes."

Song Jinwan forced herself to stand up. "This princess is going to the Ministry of Justice prison."

The maid hesitated upon hearing this, but knowing she couldn't dissuade her, she had no choice but to do as she was told.

At this moment, Jiang Yuyue and Song Jinglan's carriage had arrived at the entrance of the Ministry of Justice prison. The prison guards at the gate saw that it was Prince Jing's carriage and hurriedly came forward to greet them.

"Greetings, Your Highness Prince Jing!"

The jailer bowed and scraped, somewhat surprised to see a woman standing beside him, but dared not look too closely. He quickly asked, "Such a filthy place, what wind blew Your Highness here? If Your Highness has any orders, you could simply send someone to deliver them. Why come all the way here in person?"

Song Jinglan was in a bad mood at the moment. He glanced at him and said, "Take me to see Xie Yunqi."

Led by the jailer, Song Jinglan and Jiang Yuyue arrived at Xie Yunqi's cell door.

The cell was dark, damp, and drafty. Xie Yunqi huddled in a corner, hugging the dry grass on the ground for warmth.

The jailer stepped forward and kicked his cell door hard. "Xie Yunqi! Get out here! His Highness Prince Jing has come to see you!"

Hearing the commotion, Xie Yunqi quickly got up and walked over. He was overjoyed, as he hadn't expected Song Jinglan to actually come to see him. Just as he was about to plead for her, he noticed that there was another person standing next to Song Jinglan.

The cell was dark, and Xie Yunqi squinted before he could see who it was. When he met Jiang Yuyue's somewhat sinister eyes, he couldn't help but feel a chill.

Why is Jiang Yuyue here too!

The jailer, seeing him frozen in shock, flung open the cell door and lashed him hard with his whip. "How dare you! You dare not bow before His Highness!"

Xie Yunqi had never been whipped in his life. The burning pain made him kneel down immediately. "Greetings, Your Highness Prince Jing!"

Seeing his current disheveled state, Song Jinglan glanced at him and then looked away. "Now that things have come to this, say whatever your last words are."

Xie Yunqi knelt on the ground, his eyes filled with hatred. He hated that he had been ruined by Song Jinglan again in this life, and he hated even more that Jiang Yuyue, that bitch, was able to see his current predicament!

Originally, he planned to use Jiang Yuyue's secret to exchange for a way out from Song Jinglan, but he didn't expect that when he asked to see Prince Jing, Jiang Yuyue would also come along. After thinking it over, it seemed that threatening Jiang Yuyue to exchange for his life would have a higher success rate.

Just as he was about to speak with Jiang Yuyue alone, Jiang Yuyue spoke first.

"Your Highness, there are a few things I would like to say to him privately."

Jiang Yuyue looked at Song Jinglan, "Please grant my request, Your Highness."

Hearing this, Song Jinglan frowned. Although she was somewhat displeased, she thought that Xie Yunqi's current situation of certain death was caused by her own hand, so she nodded and reluctantly agreed.

"I'll wait for you outside."

Song Jinglan stepped out, and the jailer, being quite perceptive, immediately locked Xie Yunqi's cell door before following her out.

Once they were alone, Xie Yunqi slowly stood up and approached Jiang Yuyue step by step.

"Jiang Yuyue... do you think you've won by scheming to frame me into this situation?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuyue's lips curled into a sneer, "Framed? Didn't you do all these things yourself? I merely exposed you, and that's considered framing?"

"Don't think I don't know how you got involved with Song Jinglan!"

Xie Yunqi grabbed the cell door, his expression twisted with malice. "You knew Xie Jinglan was Prince Jing even before I returned to Jinling, so you deliberately seduced him from the start. If you hadn't received his protection, how could you possibly still be alive today?!"

"And your foresight... must mean you have been reborn!"

Seeing that Xie Yunqi had indeed mentioned this word, Jiang Yuyue knew what was going on.

As expected, Xie Yunqi, like her, had been reborn. Otherwise, even if ordinary people racked their brains, they would never have thought of the possibility of "rebirth".

"Rebirth? What does rebirth mean?"

Jiang Yuyue found his current state somewhat amusing. "Are you out of your mind? I can't understand what you're saying."

"Stop playing dumb with me."

Xie Yunqi sneered, "I advise you to release me, or I will immediately expose your rebirth and let the world know that you are a monster!"

These words amused Jiang Yuyue even more. "You're saying I was reborn? Do you have any proof?"

Jiang Yuyue felt extremely pleased to see him like this. "Besides, you're already in prison. How are you going to expose my secrets? You probably won't be able to say three words here before the jailer gives you another beating."

Seeing that Jiang Yuyue was not afraid at all, Xie Yunqi was somewhat embarrassed and angry. "Then...then I will tell Song Jinglan about this! I will tell him that you have been deliberately seducing him all along, and that you only climbed up to him to avenge your family. If he, the Prince of Jing, knew that you had been faking your feelings for him all along, he would definitely kill you!"

These words made Jiang Yuyue scoff even more, "Whether he kills me or not, I really can't guarantee that, but..."

Jiang Yuyue stepped forward and smiled gently, "I will definitely be there to witness your beheading, but I'm afraid I won't be able to collect your body. Speaking of which, your Xie family is all dead, I really don't know who will come to collect your body."

Hearing this, Xie Yunqi couldn't help but tremble, cursing uncontrollably, "You bitch...you bitch! Jiang Yuyue, even if I become a ghost, I will never let you go! You bitch!"

Jiang Yuyue could no longer be bothered with him.

I thought he might pose some threat to me, but it turned out to be the same stupid trick as always.

But it wouldn't be appropriate for him to continue spouting nonsense here.

A moment later, Jiang Yuyue went out. Seeing that she hadn't lingered for long and her expression had improved slightly, Song Jinglan asked, "What did you and Xie Yunqi talk about?"
