WFWC Chapter 117

The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 117: The Imperial Advisor Sneaks Into the Ji family at Night, Intending to Take Action Against Ji Hua

At Bei Hengyuan’s signal, Lone Wolf kicked the Second Prince to the ground. The Second Prince fell, clutching his injured ribs in pain.

Bei Hengyuan looked at the Second Prince coldly, his expression undisguised. “So what if you saw through me? I’ve never considered you a match.”

“Even without the Jizhou incident, you would have ended up here sooner or later.”

Hearing this, the Second Prince was shocked. “You, you…” He stammered for a long time without getting a straight answer.

Bei Hengyuan, unfazed, continued, “What? You saw through me? You’ll never leave the Imperial Clan Court in this lifetime.”

The Second Prince was furious and immediately attacked Bei Hengyuan again. This time, Lone Wolf stood still. The Second Prince was secretly pleased, thinking he could injure the Third Prince, but instead, he saw Lone Wolf dodge with incredible speed and seize the opportunity to strike him with a backhand.

“You, you have martial arts skills?” Now, the Second Prince understood everything. He was hiding his true abilities; he had been hiding them all along.

“You, you weren’t poisoned at all! You’ve been deceiving Father all along!” The Second Prince was furious.

The end result was that the Second Prince was severely beaten by Bei Hengyuan, to the point that he couldn’t get out of bed for several days.

Overwhelmed with anger, the Second Prince vomited blood and fainted. Bei Hengyuan ignored him and turned to leave.

As soon as he stepped into the room, he saw the uninvited Imperial Advisor, sitting at the table.

Seeing the Imperial Advisor, Bei Hengyuan’s face was full of displeasure: “Imperial Advisor, didn’t you say that Father would unconditionally trust me?”

The Imperial Advisor magnanimously ignored the Third Prince’s displeasure; he needed the Third Prince to do his bidding, and letting him act a little temperamental was harmless.

“Today, your father only took one pill. I’m thinking, perhaps the dosage isn’t enough.”

“Then increase the dosage.” His words were devoid of any emotion.

Bei Hengyuan continued, “Regarding the blood letter, I presume Imperial Advisor has also heard. I suspect it was that wicked figure from the Ji family who was behind it. How confident are you, Imperial Advisor, in eliminating this person?”

The Imperial Advisor didn’t answer immediately, but instead, like a charlatan, tapped his fingertip back and forth. Finally, he concluded, “Fifty percent.”

Bei Hengyuan’s face instantly darkened. “Imperial Advisor, you must understand, we are now in the same boat. If I lose, you lose too. I urge you to do your utmost.”

That’s not necessarily true.

The Imperial Advisor thought to himself, but on the surface, he said gravely, “I will find a way. I ask the Third Prince not to provoke the Ji family during this time. I will infiltrate the Ji family now to investigate.”

The Imperial Advisor appeared and disappeared without a trace; it was best for him to personally go to the Ji family to investigate .

Bei Hengyuan knew that even if he didn’t touch the Ji family, the Ji family wouldn’t let him off the hook.

As the moon rose over the courtyard, the Imperial Advisor, dressed in black, transformed into a wisp of black smoke and sneaked into the Ji family.

Ji Hua, who was fast asleep, suddenly opened her eyes.

She had dreamt of her deceased grandmother.

In the dream, she was asleep in bed when her grandmother anxiously woke her, as if something terrible had happened.

Ji Hua was trying hard to recall the scene from the dream, wanting to see her grandmother’s face again.

Turning her head, she saw a wisp of black mist drift in. The black mist instantly condensed into a human shape.

This eerie appearance sent chills down Ji Hua’s spine, filling her with terror.

The Imperial Advisor noticed Ji Hua, and their eyes met, both showing surprise.

“Heh, the little one’s actually awake.”

Ji Hua didn’t cry or fuss, staring at the approaching Imperial Advisor with her bright black eyes.

In the Imperial Advisor’s view, she was just curious.

[This thing is a ghost, a ghost from the Northern Kingdom. Probably not very powerful, otherwise it would have already infiltrated the Ji residence. Once I’ve accumulated ten thousand points, I’ll deal with you.]

The Imperial Advisor scrutinized Ji Hua, muttering to himself, “Is this little one some kind of jinx? Let me divine her fate.”

Ji Hua: […]

[You’re the jinx! Your whole family are jinxes!]

Thinking of the Imperial Advisor’s formidable divination skills, Ji Hua immediately opened the Golden Finger Shop and redeemed a Transfer Talisman.

Ji Hua had already exchanged all the talismans, but the Imperial Advisor was still tapping his fingers back and forth. Clearly, his divination skills weren’t as unparalleled as rumored.

[Hmph, just a fame-seeker.]

Taking advantage of the Imperial Advisor’s inattention, Ji Hua tugged at his sleeve and secretly implanted the talisman into his body.

The Imperial Advisor frowned and turned to look at Ji Hua.

Ji Hua returned his smile with a childlike grin, showing no embarrassment at being caught red-handed.

Inwardly, however, she was thinking: [Please don’t let him know!] As it turned out, the Imperial Advisor’s divination skills were only so-so.

He looked at his hands with a puzzled expression and muttered, “The jinx is actually myself?”

Ji Hua: [Pfft, haha.]

Ji Hua really wanted to laugh, but she was afraid the Imperial Advisor would notice something, so she struggled to hold it in.

The Imperial Advisor, unconvinced, went to the Green Bamboo Garden again, but the result was still himself.

He didn’t go to Ji Linfeng’s courtyard. In his opinion, that idiot couldn’t possibly be a jinx.

If he really were, he wouldn’t be in prison.

“Strange, very strange.” The Imperial Advisor muttered to himself as he returned to the Wutong Courtyard. He couldn’t understand why the jinx he predicted was himself.

Clearly, the jinx he predicted yesterday came from the Ji family, so how did it become himself tonight?

Unable to understand, the Imperial Advisor looked at Ji Hua, who kept grinning foolishly at him.

For a moment, he felt that the child in front of him was somewhat strange.

But he quickly dismissed the thought. She was just a four-month-old baby, what was strange about her? She was just curious about everything.

The Imperial Advisor seemed to have thought of something, and he made a choking gesture with both hands, fiercely grabbing Ji Hua.

Ji Hua’s smile vanished.

[He…he…he’s not trying to strangle me, is he? My God, I’m still a baby, how can I withstand being choked? Stop, stop right now, you bastard.]

No matter how much Ji Hua screamed, it was to no avail. Just as they were about to use their cries to wake Lady Ji, a strange scene unfolded.

The Imperial Advisor was gripping Ji Hua tightly with both hands, but it wasn’t Ji Hua whose face was contorted in pain; it was the Imperial Advisor himself.

As if seeing a ghost, the Imperial Advisor abruptly released his grip, staring at Ji Hua in utter horror.

“Is this…is this even human?”

Ji Hua belatedly realized that the debuff hadn’t yet worn off.

[Hahaha, kill me! Come and kill me! I’ve already washed my neck and am waiting! Hahaha!]

Ji Hua’s giggling laughter sounded particularly eerie in the darkness, terrifying the Imperial Advisor.

Even Yin Zheng, who was patrolling outside, shrank back in fear.

Seeing the Imperial Advisor flee in panic, Ji Hua laughed even louder.

[Hahaha, you little brat, calling yourself a ghost? So cowardly!Clearly, if your spiritual cultivation isn’t enough, divination will suffice.]

Madam Ji was awakened by Ji Hua’s laughter and hurriedly got up to help her urinate, only to hear,

[Hahaha, Mother, that was really funny. That Imperial Advisor was scared away! He actually tried to strangle me, but I used a counter-talisman and fled in panic.]

Upon hearing this, Madam Ji was so shocked she almost dropped Ji Hua.

The Imperial Advisor had been here?

But if that were the case, wouldn’t the Imperial Advisor have discovered her daughter’s extraordinary abilities?
