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

Old Lady Liu and Liu Xueyan crawled out from under the offering table in the Buddhist hall and cautiously explored the area.

Seeing that the two maids, Chunxi and Xiahuan, were crawling out from under the tables and chairs in Shou'an Hall, Old Madam Liu's face immediately darkened.

She stepped forward and slapped each of them twice across the face. "You lowly servants, you have no regard for your master's safety!"

Chunxi and Xiahuan are innocent! When the wild boar charged at them, they were too busy protecting themselves to possibly have time to protect their master.

The two maids knelt down with a thud. Chunxi said, "Madam, you've been wronged! If we had gone to you when the wild boar chased after us, wouldn't we have been leading the boar right in front of you?"

Xia Huan added, "Yes, Madam, we can only crawl under the table to attract the wild boar's attention."

Old Lady Liu's expression softened upon hearing this.

Outside, Ying Yufu was directing the servants and guards to carry the wild boar back to their yard.

Old Madam Liu stared at Ying Yufu's figure, a fierce glint in her eyes. She said to Chunxi and Xia Huan, "Get up and help me out!"

Chunxi and Xiahuan felt as if they had been granted a pardon, and they helped Old Liu Shi walk outside, one on each side.

Liu Xueyan, rubbing her belly, followed behind with the help of her maid.

She also hated Ying Yufu. What was originally a luxurious and comfortable life had been ruined because Shangguan Tang and Ying Yufu, mother and daughter, insisted on causing trouble.

Liu Xueyan touched her face, only to find her hands covered in incense ash. Her expression immediately darkened, and she felt extremely upset.

"Ying Yufu! How dare you come back!"

Old Liu walked up to Ying Yufu and shouted loudly.

Ying Yufu watched as the two wild boars were carried away, then turned to look at Old Liu.

Ying Yufu wore moonlight brocade, which shimmered in the moonlight, and wore a pink jade headdress that was crystal clear and extremely gorgeous.

The little girl exuded an air of opulence from her hair to her fingernails.

Old Lady Liu saw this and felt a deep resentment.

Just then, Ying Chengting walked over carrying Ying Nanyao on his back, with Ying Hengzhi following beside him.

They were all covered in dust and dirt, and Ying Hengzhi even had two cabbage leaves stuck to her head.

Upon comparing the two, Old Lady Liu immediately became angry.

"Ying Yufu, kneel down!"

Old Lady Liu scolded Ying Yufu as before.

Ying Yufu stood still for a while, then finally couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"Grandma, did you just crawl out of somewhere?"

As she spoke, she asked the insect for a mercury mirror.

This mercury mirror is rare, and only merchants like the Mu family, whose business spans the entire country, possess it.

Ying Yufu pointed the mercury mirror at Old Madam Liu, "Grandmother, look at yourself now, you look so disheveled!"

Old Mrs. Liu couldn't help but look at the mirror, where her current appearance was clearly reflected.

Its head and face were covered in incense ash, making its two eyes appear dark and hollow, which was quite eerie.

Most importantly, she now only has a jade hairpin in her hair, and the clothes she wears are no longer the expensive silks and satins of the past. Although she is also wearing brocade, there are different grades of brocade.

The clothes she is wearing now are the kind that servants in the mansion used to wear.

Although it was still made of good material, it was nothing like the extravagant lifestyle of the past.

It's like comparing heaven and earth.

Old Lady Liu stared blankly at herself in the mirror; she no longer resembled the old matriarch at all.

For a moment, she felt an overwhelming sense of sorrow.

Liu Xueyan also saw her reflection in the mirror and quickly reached out to wipe the incense ash from her head and face.

Looking at Ying Nanyao and the other two, Ying Yufu became even happier.

"Grandmother, Father, Aunt, Cousins, I'm relieved to see you all like this!"

Ying Yufu couldn't help but laugh.

Chong'er and Granny Cao were overjoyed, their smiles undisguised.

"They've rebelled! They've rebelled! They've really rebelled!"

Old Liu was trembling all over.

Ying Nanyao stared coldly at Ying Yufu, and said in a low voice, "Fu'er, do you think that just because you've latched onto the Crown Prince, he can become your protector? How ignorant!"

Ying Yufu looked at him, wanting to see what kind of "brilliant insights" her good father could come up with.

Ying Nanyao did not disappoint her. He said, "Fu'er, do you think it's so easy to enter the Eastern Palace?"

Given your current status, you probably can't even become a concubine of the Crown Prince. At most, out of respect for the Mu family, you might be given the title of Liangdi.

"Once the Crown Princess and the concubines enter the Eastern Palace, what will you, a mere concubine, amount to?"

Ying Hengzhi also said, "Yes, Second Sister, why did you choose to go to the East Palace to suffer instead of becoming the Second Prince's concubine?"

You are sisters from the same household, of one heart and one mind, and can help each other in the future.

Besides, the Second Prince has feelings for both of us, but what about the Crown Prince? The Crown Prince is only after the wealth of the Mu family behind you!

Ying Yufu looked at them amusedly, "Who said I was going to the Eastern Palace to become a concubine?"

"Isn't that right? Second sister, we all saw you with the Crown Prince during the day. You mustn't ruin your whole life just because of a moment of anger!"

For us young ladies, marrying a good man is a blessing for a lifetime. Second sister, although you've broken off your engagement with the Second Prince, it's alright. He already intended to make you his concubine anyway, which is better than being the Crown Prince's concubine!

Chong'er's eyes widened in anger. These people were so annoying! His Highness the Crown Prince was clearly going to marry Miss as his Crown Princess, but they were talking about it like this.

Ying Yufu blinked. "I see?"

"Of course!" Ying Hengzhi thought she had finally persuaded her, but Lian Yao continued to persuade her.

Ying Yufu interrupted her, "You've misunderstood. I never wanted to be the Crown Prince's concubine!"

"Really? Then why are you getting so close to the Crown Prince?" Ying Hengzhi asked suspiciously.

"It's because Prince Yuheng injured his leg, and we went to visit him, which is how we ran into each other. We happened to be at Huangjue Temple today and met again."

"Is that so?" Ying Hengzhi said suspiciously.

Ying Chengting suddenly asked, "He only injured his leg?"

"What?" Ying Yufu looked at him. "What do you mean by that, eldest cousin? What do you mean by 'only the leg is injured'? Where else should it be injured?"

Ying Chengting looked rather unwell. Realizing he had misspoke, and seeing everyone looking at him with suspicion, he quickly shook his head.

"No, it's nothing. I just think that he fell from such a height, and the carriage and he must have injured more than just his leg."

A cold glint flashed in Ying Yufu's eyes. "Hey, it's strange, Prince Yuheng said that it seemed like someone was deliberately pushing his carriage at the time."

He also saw that it seemed like some people were deliberately standing by watching him fall, and one of the figures looked like your cousin…”

Ying Chengting's expression changed drastically. "Cousin, you can't say things like that."

"Well, perhaps Prince Yuheng was mistaken; he might not be sure himself," Ying Yufu said.

"Oh right, Father, it's getting late. Why don't you hurry up and favor your two concubines?"

Don't keep your two concubines waiting too long, or they might get upset and start making a fuss again!

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately shuddered.

Old Madam Liu angrily scolded, "Ying Yufu, do you even look like a daughter? What kind of daughter brings home two wild boars for her father?"

Ying Yufu looked aggrieved: "Grandmother, you're wronging your granddaughter! I only gave the love potion to Father because I thought it was precious!"

"you--"

"Miss, your package has been delivered."

Several servants from the Mu residence carried in several large boxes.

Upon seeing those boxes, Old Liu and the others' eyes lit up.

It seems that Shangguan Tang regrets making a scene and wants to move back.

Old Madam Liu immediately waved her hand, "Take all these boxes to Shou'an Hall!"

Liu Xueyan and the others all hesitated. They also wanted it, but they didn't dare to compete with Old Madam Liu.

The servants did not move.

Old Mrs. Liu immediately became displeased, "What are you all standing there for?"

Ying Yufu innocently reminded her, "Grandmother, you misunderstand. These boxes contain things I need when I come back, not for you."

After all, these things belong to my mother, and of course, my mother's things can only be used by her dear daughter!

"Grandma, you're not going to take your granddaughter's things again, are you?"

She deliberately feigned fear.
