Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

"Grandmother, I want to go to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion!" Ying Hengzhi said.

Tears streamed down her face. "Grandmother, I really don't know where I offended my second sister. How could she bully me like this?"

She knew perfectly well what I would look like at my coming-of-age ceremony, yet she still made such a grand spectacle of it, Grandmother…”

Even those who had been watching them were now heading towards the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

The old lady hugged Ying Hengzhi tightly, crying, "My poor granddaughter, it's all my fault for being so useless, letting others bully you like this!"

After saying that, she looked at Ying Nanyao and said angrily, "Nanyao, are you just going to stand by and watch Zhi'er and Yan'er be bullied like this?"

Ying Nanyao was watching intently as the Flying Tigers carried things out.

The old lady said, "What are you all standing there for? Do you really want them to have such a grand coming-of-age ceremony at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion? Go and bring them back to me!"

"Mother, it's too late to bring them back. Grand Princess Huaxi herself has spoken..."

"Foolish!" the old lady shouted angrily.

"As long as they are willing to come back, what does it matter if the Grand Princess asks for their permission? At most, she will just say that the mother and daughter are ungrateful."

The old lady's eyes gleamed.

Upon hearing this, a dark glint flashed in Ying Nanyao's eyes.

Ying Hengzhi then said softly, "If the Second Prince were here, he would definitely stop my second sister."

These words instantly reminded Ying Nanyao.

Without saying a word, Ying Nanyao turned and left.

Ying Yufu and Shangguan Tang were sitting in the carriage on their way back to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

Ying Yufu silently counted her points.

She currently has 750 points.

This is a huge fortune.

[Little Crazy, what kinds of things can I buy?]

[Host, please look at the panel. These are the items you can purchase with 750 points.]

Ying Yufu looked at the floating screen in front of her.

The top is lit up with a dazzling array of icons, each representing a product.

She carefully read through the product description.

She pays special attention to products that are beneficial to her family's health.

The Nourishing Essence Pill can repair congenital weakness in one go. Its effects are relatively mild, and each pill costs 350 points.

Ying Yufu's eyes lit up. Wasn't this tailor-made for Tan'er?

Solid pills can strengthen the body; each pill is worth 280 points.

This is something the whole family can have, provided she has enough points.

Star Fruit can nourish the body, strengthen the constitution, prolong life, and even has remarkable effects on congenital deficiencies. The medicinal effect is mild, each fruit is worth 350 points, and the effect is better with regular consumption.

Ying Yufu's lips twitched. This was too expensive to take regularly; all her points were only enough to buy two pills.

Congenital Nutritional Solution can repair congenital deficiencies. One bottle at a time, one bottle per week, for a total of four bottles. Each bottle is worth 280 points.

[Little Dian, which is more suitable for Tan'er: the Innate Nutrient Solution or the Nourishing Essence Pill?]

It seems that the Nourishing Essence Pill is more cost-effective, but it's unclear how its effects compare.

【Host, although the Nourishing Essence Pill is also very good, the Innate Nutrient Solution is more subtle and has many unseen benefits.】

Many people use the Innate Nutritional Solution first, and then take the Nourishing Essence Pill, with amazing results.

Ying Yufu clicked her tongue. It seemed she still needed to work hard to earn more points.

She wanted to give her family the best.

She continued browsing and found products such as Qi-strengthening pills, spirit-nourishing pills, complexion-restoring pills, beauty pills, powerful potions, Thousand Gu-inducing agents, Gu stones, bows, crossbows, swords, and so on.

She curiously took a look at the Thousand Gu Guide, a secret artifact for controlling Gu worms. It was shaped like an eight-hole copper box and could control more than 99% of Gu worms. Each item was worth 300 points.

The Gu Stone has a similar effect; its appearance is that of a crystal stone.

She also specifically looked at several weapons: bows and crossbows, swords and guns, and even firearms.

She also saw a protective suit, which was impervious to water and fire, invulnerable to swords and spears, as light as a feather, and extremely breathable, so it was not a burden to wear. The size could be adjusted to fit the wearer's body shape at will, and it cost 350 points per piece.

She thought to herself that if she had the chance, she would buy one for herself and one for each of her loved ones.

Finally, something caught her eye.

Standard storage space: 100 points per cubic meter.

[Xiao Dian, is the storage space what I understand it to be?]

【That's right, host. It means exactly what it says. It can store things. It costs 100 points per cubic meter. You can buy as much as you want and store as many supplies as you want inside.】

For example, if you had a spatial ability, you could store all of your mother's dowry in your space at once, so you wouldn't have to carry it around so much.

Furthermore, if you are extremely afraid of losing precious items, you can also store them in this space.

Ying Yufu was deeply moved.

If she had a large storage space, wouldn't she be able to put whatever she wanted in there without anyone knowing?

Unfortunately, she had too few points.

It's not nearly enough.

There are so many good things.

Ying Yufu resisted the temptation and said to the system, "Little Dian, I need two bottles of Innate Nutrient Solution first."

Soon, two bottles of light blue liquid arrived at the temporary shelf. Each bottle was worth 280 points, and two bottles would be worth 560 points.

She has 190 points left.

She was reluctant to spend the remaining 190 points, after all, she still needed to treat her brother.

Thinking of her brother, Ying Yufu asked疑惑地问道: "Little Dian, why isn't there any medicine for mental illness?"

[Host, actually your brother is...]

Suddenly, the carriage jolted violently and then came to a stop.

"What happened?" Shangguan Tang asked.

Sun Dianjun's voice came from outside, saying, "Reporting to Madam, it is His Highness the Second Prince and Marquis Ying. They have blocked the carriage with their horses."

"Shangguan Tang, stop fooling around and come back with me!" Ying Nanyao's deep voice came from outside.

"Lord Ying, how dare you disobey the Grand Princess's decree?"

Sun Dianjun's equally cold and deep voice rang out.

At this moment, the Second Prince's voice rang out: "General Sun, even if she is Aunt Hua Xi, she cannot interfere in the family affairs of her subjects, can she?"

Sun Dianjun said, "Your Highness, if you have any complaints, you can ask the Grand Princess directly. I am just following orders."

A hint of displeasure flashed in the Second Prince's eyes. He looked at the carriage and called out, "Fu'er, get out of the carriage. I have something to say to you."

Ying Yufu lifted the carriage curtain and peeked out, saying, "Does Your Highness, the Second Prince, have anything to say to me?"

The second prince frowned. "Fu'er, you're really angry with me."

He spurred his horse forward, looking down at Ying Yufu in the carriage, and said, "Fu'er, I always thought you were a kind and understanding girl. I liked your obedience and sensibility, but what you're doing now is really not cute at all."

He deliberately kept a stern face, creating a strong sense of pressure for Ying Yufu.

Ying Yufu sighed and said to Xiao Dian, "Xiao Dian, I was so blind before. I actually thought this thing was presentable, and I really treated him as my future husband, and I was completely obedient to him."

[Host, he was too good at disguising himself before, and you were young, so it was inevitable that you were deceived by him. You can't be blamed for this.]

That's right, of course it's not my fault; the fault lies with others.

Taking a deep breath, Ying Yufu said, "Second Prince, didn't you look in the mirror before you went out today? You have a big piece of sleep in the corner of your eye."

Second Prince: ?

The second prince's expression changed, and he subconsciously touched the corner of his eye.

Finding nothing, he was heartbroken. "Fu'er, how did you become like this? You used to be so well-behaved and sensible!"

"That's because I put on a good act before!" Ying Yufu said sincerely.

"Fu'er, didn't I tell you not to go overboard with Zhi'er? Why didn't you listen? I never expected you to be such a competitive woman."

"I never expected you to be such a piece of shit!"

The second prince's eyes widened. "Fu'er, are you perhaps possessed by a ghost?"

"I think you're the one who's about to go crazy!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ying Yufu slapped the horse.

With her current strength, carrying a large bucket of water is a piece of cake for her.

The slap caused the horse to rear up and neigh loudly. It then made a 180-degree turn on the spot and galloped wildly out of the city.

The second prince screamed repeatedly, instinctively tightening the reins and gripping the horse's belly, but even so, he was still nearly thrown off the horse.

Watching the two riders disappear into the dust outside the city, Ying Nanyao stood there completely dumbfounded.

"You rebellious daughter, what did you do to the Second Prince?" Ying Nanyao said fiercely.

"Father, what are you saying? What could a weak woman like me do to the Second Prince?"

"Didn't you do anything to make the Second Prince's horse suddenly startled?"

"Was that a horse that got spooked? It was clearly the Second Prince who was ashamed of being called a pile of dung and fled in a sorry state!"

"you……"

"Father, look at the Second Prince, he is a prince after all. His skin is different. Unlike you, you are blocking the way and won't leave."

Could it be that Father is going to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to attend his daughter's coming-of-age ceremony?

In that case, Father must have prepared a gift for his daughter, right?

Hmm, I remember when my cousin came of age, you gave her a house in the Western Hills and two hundred acres of fertile land!

"My food can't possibly be worse than my cousin's, can it?"

Ying Nanyao stared at her with an icy expression.

"Come back with me and tell your mother to bring the dowry back to the Marquis's mansion. You'll naturally receive plenty of gifts," Ying Nanyao said.

"It's one thing for my father not to give me a gift, but he also has his eyes on my mother's dowry. He is truly unworthy of being a father and a husband."

"Ying Yufu, do you even respect me as your father?"

Ying Yufu kindly reminded him, "Father, you called him the Second Prince, didn't you? There's a cliff outside the city."

"You said if the Second Prince couldn't rein in his horse and fell off, what would happen if he were charged with murdering a prince..."

Ying Nanyao's expression changed drastically. He didn't even bother to look at Ying Yufu again. He pulled on the reins, turned around, and galloped away.

With the annoying person finally gone, Ying Yufu lowered the carriage curtain, and the carriage continued towards Zhenguo Mansion.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Led by the eldest princess, many wives of high-ranking officials of the first, second, and third ranks in the capital city arrived.

Some of the ladies' families were even sworn brothers with the Duke of Zhenguo's family.

They were all those who had fought alongside the late emperor to conquer the country.

"The Marquis of Weiyuan's family has gone too far. They actually sent a concubine from a brothel to perform the hairpin ceremony for their legitimate daughter. No one would believe it if word got out."

"That's what the old lady of the Marquis of Anding's mansion said."

The Marquis of Anding's residence is quite different from the Marquis of Weiyuan's.

The Marquis of Anding was a true marquis with numerous military achievements, a high-ranking official in two dynasties, and held the power of 200,000 troops.

Although the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion was also hereditary, the late Marquis of Weiyuan had suffered a defeat that resulted in the loss of five cities in the northwest, making him very unpopular with the late emperor.

Not only were their military power stripped, but their salaries were also reduced by half compared to others.

If it weren't for the fact that he had saved the late emperor's life, he probably wouldn't have been able to keep his hereditary title.

From then on, the reputation of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion became a joke.

Since marrying Shangguan Tang, fewer and fewer people have mocked him.

"Sister Mu, you've always been wise, but you made a crucial mistake in Tang'er's marriage!"

The old lady of the Chang Le Duke's household was a straightforward person, and she sighed as she spoke.

The old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo also sighed, "Yes, we were really foolish back then, ruining Tang'er's life."

"It was just bad luck that Tang Jie'er was kidnapped by those damned bandits back then; otherwise, she wouldn't have ended up in the hands of the Marquis of Weiyuan."

The Grand Princess smiled and said, "It's all in the past. What's done is done, so let's look forward."

"Yes, look forward."

The old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo smiled and said, "Now that my Duke of Zhenguo's mansion has encountered these troubles, I am very grateful to everyone for coming. I thank you all here."

The old lady picked up a cup of tea and spoke slowly.

"Oh, Sister Yomu, you're too kind," said the old lady of Chang Le Gong immediately.

"Yes, Madam, you're too kind. How could we not know what kind of person the Duke of Zhenguo is? His Majesty will surely see through everything."

Besides these ladies, some of them also brought their younger relatives.

For example, the old lady of Chang Le Gong brought her own granddaughter.

Lady Anding also brought her youngest daughter.

The Grand Princess also brought the young princess with her.

At this moment, several girls sat together, not listening to the adults, but discussing Ying Yufu.

"Fu'er is so pitiful. Have you heard? This morning Ying Hengzhi said that she is the future Second Prince's consort," the young lady of the Marquis of Anding's mansion whispered.

"What?" The youngest granddaughter of the Duke of Chang Le, who was a little behind on the news, looked shocked and said, "How is that possible? Fu'er and the Second Prince are engaged!"

The daughter of the Marquis of An Ding gave her a look that said, "You're too naive." "Is that even a question? Ying Hengzhi's mother is... Ying Hengzhi must have learned it from her mother."

The youngest granddaughter of Yongle looked utterly shocked. "This is so shameless!"

The young princess sighed softly.

Several girls looked at her.

"I was just thinking about my white moonlight." The little princess looked melancholy.

The youngest granddaughter of the Duke of Changle and the daughter of the Marquis of Anding both fell silent, exchanging bewildered glances.

They all knew that the little princess's true love was Fu'er's brother, Ying Zhuoxiu.

Ying Zhuoxiu was indeed stunningly beautiful back then.

Not only could he recognize characters at the age of one and compose poems at the age of three, but his policy essays written at the age of seven were also praised by His Majesty.

At the age of nine... he passed the imperial examination at the age of nine and became the youngest scholar since the founding of the country.

The last person to be this talented was the legendary prime minister of the previous dynasty, Dongfang Hong.

But not long after Ying Zhuoxiu passed the imperial examination and became a Xiucai (a scholar who passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations), he went mad.

Not only is he crazy, he's also stupid.

At that Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Ying Zhuoxiu grabbed a poisonous snake and put it in his mouth in front of the emperor and his court officials, biting his face until it bled.

It terrified many people at the time.

The young princess, in particular, was not only terrified but also cried in sorrow.

She bluntly stated that her ideal woman had shattered.

Just then, Ying Yufu and Shangguan Tang arrived.

As soon as the two entered, they received a warm welcome from a group of wealthy ladies.

"Oh dear, we're all family, no need for formalities, please, no need for formalities," said the old lady of Chang Le Gong loudly.

The Grand Princess also smiled and said, "Tang'er, don't be shy, there are no outsiders here."

"Hua Xi, thank you so much for today." Shangguan Tang's eyes reddened as she looked at the Grand Princess.

The Grand Princess waved her hand, "Alright, you mustn't cry on such a good day."

Shangguan Tang smiled, and her mood brightened.

She looked at the ladies and curtsied, saying, "Shangguan Tang thanks you all for attending Fu'er's coming-of-age banquet!"
