WFWC Chapter 113

The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 113: Duanmu Yi Tracks Zhang Shijun

“Second sister-in-law, something’s not right. Does she know something? I noticed something was off about her at the Empress’s banquet the day before yesterday, and her unusual behavior today is even more baffling. It’s like she knows about the switch that happened to me.”

Seeing Madam Ji’s furrowed brows, Duanmu Yi gritted her teeth and recounted what she had seen in her dreams these past few days. At first, she didn’t understand why the Crown Prince was perfectly fine, but the Third Prince was the one who ultimately ascended the throne.

Last night, just last night, those blurry fragments all became clear.

It was the Third Prince; it was all his conspiracy. He had wanted that position for a long time, using the Ji family, using the Second Prince, and finally forcing the Crown Prince to his death. He became the ultimate victor.

Even the Emperor died. It was all orchestrated by the Third Prince.

His poison will soon be cured, and then he will sweep through the Crown Prince and the Second Prince like a whirlwind.

After hearing Duanmu Yi’s words, Madam Ji and Ji Hua were both stunned.

“My God, has Second Sister-in-law been reborn?” Knowing the whole plot. Good heavens, I simply can’t believe my second sister-in-law learned the whole story in this way. Most importantly, upon learning the Ji family’s fate, she didn’t choose to annul the engagement, but instead persuaded the Ji family to resign and return to Jizhou to save their lives. She was truly thinking of the Ji family.

[Perhaps she was afraid after learning about Father’s poisoning and coma, afraid that the whole plot would come true. That’s why she rushed to the Ji residence to tell Mother about the dream.]

[Waaah, now it’s all good. With my second sister-in-law’s dream, the Ji family will definitely be able to turn things around.]

[However, the plot seems to be changing now, all because of the now-powerful eldest brother. If he were still as decadent as in the original story, the Ji family’s fate wouldn’t change at all.]

[But then again, will Mother believe my second sister-in-law? Will she think she’s gone mad? Father is so popular, would the Third Prince really dare to touch the Ji family? As it turns out, the Third Prince did dare.]

[So, I guess Mother will believe Second Sister-in-law’s words. Besides, Eldest Brother has long suspected the Third Prince has problems. With Second Sister-in-law’s dream, the Ji family will only hate the Third Prince even more, and thus won’t hesitate to attack him. I’m not so worried anymore; I can just drink milk and eat melons from now on. That’s the right way to raise a baby!]

Duanmu Yi looked at Madam Ji nervously, afraid she wouldn’t believe her.

This was the best she could think of. As a mere daughter of a high-ranking official, her words carried no weight; she couldn’t possibly change the situation on her own. Her parents thought she was delusional and didn’t believe her at all. Even Zhi Qiu thought it was something she had imagined because she desperately wanted to marry into the Ji family.

Upon learning that Marquis Ji was poisoned and unconscious, she wanted to come to the Ji family to tell Madam Ji. However, Madam Duanmu wouldn’t let her come out, citing the upcoming wedding and the potential negative impact. Therefore, she had secretly run away today.

Madam Ji, recovering from her shock, said solemnly, “I believe you. We’ve investigated and found that this incident is related to the Third Prince; he’s trying to stir up trouble in the court. Don’t mention this to outsiders. It’s too far-fetched; no one will believe it.”

Duanmu Yi, upon hearing this, was moved to tears. Madam Ji believed her! She believed her! The anxiety she had felt for days could finally be put down.

Hearing that Duanmu Yi had arrived, Ji Linfeng quickly ran back to his courtyard, carefully taking a wooden hairpin from its box, examining it closely before putting it back. Then he called a maid.

“Go and deliver this box to Miss Duanmu. You must observe her expression, understand?”

The maid respectfully accepted the box and prepared to leave.

Ji Linfeng paced back and forth, feeling that entrusting this to a maid seemed insincere. “Never mind, I’ll deliver it myself.” Hesitating was unlike him.

Meanwhile, Duanmu Yi chatted with Madam Ji for a long time, and their conversation largely echoed Ji Hua’s thoughts. Madam Ji was shocked, yet also extremely relieved. This way, they could avoid many more risks. The Mu Cheng incident was indeed their oversight. However, it also gave them an opportunity to expose the Third Prince.

From now on, it would be impossible for him to remain hidden behind the scenes.

Ji Linfeng waited for a long time on the only route before seeing Madam Ji personally escort Duanmu Yi out. Ji Hua was being held by Zhi Dong.

Their eyes met, and he blushed. The greeting he had rehearsed countless times in his mind vanished instantly.

Madam Ji looked at Ji Linfeng with amusement.

Duanmu Yi suppressed the stinging in her nose.

She couldn’t help it; ever since that dream, seeing Ji Linfeng reminded her of the bloodied figure he had been beaten in prison.

It truly pained her.

Ji Hua giggled.

[Since Second Sister-in-law also dreamt of the original story, she should also have dreams about her life after marrying into the Ji family. Although Second Brother doesn’t cherish Second Sister-in-law much, he gives her the respect she deserves. While not a perfect couple, they are at least respectful. Besides, Second Sister-in-law already has feelings for Second Brother. With this memory, she will only cherish him more.]

[Whether it was the Shangsi Festival incident or the horse farm incident, Second Brother showed his affection for Second Sister-in-law; she should be able to sense it. Therefore, with both of them cherishing each other, their married life will only be more loving and fulfilling.]

Thinking of this, Ji Hua laughed loudly.

Ji Linfeng’s face turned even redder. “Um, this is for you.” Ji Linfeng awkwardly shoved the box into Duanmu Yi’s hands, not even looking at her expression, and ran away as if fleeing.

[Hahaha, Second Brother seems shy.]

Madam Ji’s face was full of smiles, her gaze towards Duanmu Yi filled with endless tenderness. “That child has always been lively, Miss Duanmu, please bear with her.”

After saying this, Madam Ji’s smile faded.

She thought of the ending for Ji Linfeng and Duanmu Yi. She added, “Don’t worry, child, with your dream, the Ji family will be watching closely at all times. We will all be fine.”

“Also, Hua’er is the Ji family’s young lady, without a doubt.”

Hearing this, Duanmu Yi’s eyes reddened. It was good that the Ji family’s young lady hadn’t been switched. The Qin family also had trouble.

Although some things deviated from the dream, we still had to be vigilant about things that hadn’t happened yet.

Not long after Duanmu Yi left, Madam Ji summoned Ji Linfeng: “Feng’er, I suspect Miss Duanmu ran away secretly. Follow her and secretly escort her back to the Duanmu residence safely.”

[I also suspect Second Sister-in-law ran away secretly. After all, she’s not yet married into the family; how could Madam Duanmu allow Second Sister-in-law to come to the Ji residence, let alone allow her to come alone? So, Second Sister-in-law came stealthily. Without a maidservant, it’s not safe. It’s good for Second Brother to escort her.]

It must be said, Madam Ji’s concern was very valid. Duanmu Yi thought taking the shortcut would prevent any accidents, but who would have thought something would happen?

“That man seems to be the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards. What is he doing, sneaking around a beggar?” Duanmu Yi pondered, because that dream concerned the life and death of the Ji family. These past two days, whenever she had free time, she had been reviewing the connections around the Third Prince.

Especially since this Zhang Shijun was not a good person.
