The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.

Qi Jingchen ignored Qi Jingxi and stared intently at Qi Zhiyu.

Qi Zhiyu stopped the enraged Qi Jingxi: "Second brother, don't be hasty. There must be a reason why eldest brother said that."

Since his younger sister had said that, Qi Jingxi could only suppress his anger, but he still glared at his older brother with a burning resentment.

Normally, the eldest brother dotes on Qi Pingle the most.

However, if the eldest brother doesn't know his place at this time, don't blame him for not caring about brotherhood!

He... he's going to tell Dad!

If his father doesn't stand up for him, he'll make a scene in front of his imperial grandfather!

"They are also protecting their master," Qi Jingchen said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Granny Li immediately perked up: "The young master is right!"

"This old servant just feels sorry for Miss."

"Miss was pampered and spoiled by you all, and now you're kicking her out penniless."

"Miss has suffered so much, Your Highness, you must be feeling terrible too."

As she spoke, Granny Li gave Qi Zhiyu a meaningful look, then kowtowed deeply to Qi Jingchen: "Young Master, please don't be deceived by such a villain!"

Qi Zhiyu simply smiled at such veiled criticism.

She didn't even consider him a clown.

Her gaze fell on Qi Jingchen.

She wanted to see what he would do.

This concerns his future, and as for her... whatever decision he makes has no impact on her whatsoever.

Qi Jingchen glanced at Granny Li and said, "They're being sold off."

"Explain to the brokerage firm why they were sold off."

"Disrespecting one's master, and committing insubordination."

Granny Li was startled and looked at Qi Jingchen in disbelief.

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly; this older brother was alright.

Qi Jingxi's anger immediately turned to joy: "It has to be my eldest brother!"

He said, "How could my brother do such a foolish thing?"

"Young Master, you might as well just take this old servant's life!" Granny Li howled.

Disrespecting one's master and committing insubordination—once this charge is mentioned, which wealthy family would dare to take her in?

She lived in the Prince's mansion, where she was served by maids and enjoyed a life of luxury.

If you're sold off, you can only become the lowest of servants!

This is worse than death!

Qi Jingchen coldly glanced at the servants in the manor: "What are you waiting for? Take them away!"

"Young Master, it was Granny Li who sent us."

"Young Master, this really has nothing to do with us!"

The maids and servants who had been kneeling behind Granny Li kept crying out for their innocence.

Their pleas did not move Qi Jingchen in the slightest: "Today, I learned that Li Mama is your mistress."

The maids and servants immediately lost all color in their faces.

The troublemakers were dragged away, and Qi Zixi clapped her hands excitedly: "Ah, I understand!"

"Big brother, you don't want outsiders to misunderstand our sister."

"Let others know that those guys deserved it!"

Killing him would be fine, but there would always be people gossiping behind his back.

Make the situation clear: no family would want such a treacherous servant; they would only despise him.

Qi Jingchen glared at Qi Jingxi: "It's normal for my sister to be a little inconsiderate since she just got back. What about you?"

"Normally, when I ask you to learn something, you just won't."

Qi Jingxi muttered under her breath, unconvinced, "I'm not the boss, why should I worry about this?"

Qi Jingchen narrowed his eyes.

Qi Jingxi immediately changed her tune: "I'll be more careful next time!"

Qi Jingchen was finally satisfied.

Princess Rui grabbed Qi Zhiyu's hand, still shaken: "Yu'er, it was my oversight."

"I was so happy to see you back that I didn't notice anything for a moment."

"I almost ruined your reputation."

Qi Zhiyu tilted her head slightly and smiled gently: "Mother, I have never cared about reputation."

reputation?

Has she ever had something like that?

"I'm so happy that you care about me so much, Mom." This was a feeling she was experiencing for the first time, and it was quite novel.

The key thing is, I feel a warm feeling in my heart...

"When is Dad coming back?" Qi Zhiyu asked curiously.

"Logically, he should be back by now." Princess Rui asked a servant, somewhat puzzled, "Has the Prince not returned to the residence yet?"

The maidservant immediately stepped forward to report: "Your Highness, the Prince has not yet returned to the manor."

Qi Zhiyu smiled: "Mother, maybe Father was delayed by something."

"Second brother, let's go greet Father."

"Sure," Qi Jingxi replied without hesitation.

Whatever his sister says goes.

"Mother, elder brother, let's go take a look." Qi Zhiyu said to Princess Rui, Qi Jingchen, and then left.

Princess Rui felt that something was not quite right.

Suddenly, she heard her eldest son chuckle softly beside her.

Princess Rui looked over in surprise.

Since Chen'er got injured, she hasn't smiled at all.

This, this is...

"Chen'er, what are you laughing at?" Princess Rui asked curiously, suppressing her excitement.

If there's anything that can make her eldest son happy, she'll keep trying in that direction.

Qi Jingchen exclaimed, "Little sister, you're quite interesting."

She is screening her family members.

Princess Rui smiled with relief as she looked at her eldest son.

Chen'er really likes Yu'er.

At the same time, she became increasingly certain that her daughter was the family's lucky star.

Look, Yu'er just got back, and her eldest son has already come out of the yard on his own, and he's even smiling.

At this moment, Qi Zhiyu had no idea how much her mother missed her. She followed Qi Jingxi as they wandered through the alleyways.

"Sis, you were right!" Qi Jingxi nervously tugged at Qi Zhiyu's sleeve, glancing at Qi Pingle kneeling on the ground in the alley ahead.

Standing in front of Qi Pingle was none other than their father.

Qi Jingxi gritted her teeth angrily: "She still has the nerve to come here and block my father."

Qi Zhiyu smiled, not surprised at all: "The daughter of a prince, such a noble status, is not something everyone can easily give up."

Qi Jingxi glanced at her sideways and blinked twice: "Sis, why do I feel like you don't really care?"

Qi Zhiyu gazed at him with a smile but said nothing.

Qi Jingxi didn't know why, but she felt a little uneasy.

He scratched the back of his head and muttered, "No matter what, you're still my sister!"

"She's starting her performance." Qi Zhiyu nudged Qi Jingxi's arm, urging him to watch the show.

Qi Jingxi's attention was immediately drawn to it.

He watched in shock as Qi Pingle's head slammed heavily to the ground. When she raised her head again, blood was already visible on her forehead.

"Father, please forgive your unfilial daughter for being unable to serve you from now on. Please take good care of your health, Father. I wish you joy and good health."

The sorrowful voice trembled slightly with a sob, causing Qi Jingxi to frown involuntarily.

"Sis, don't you think there's something strange about the way she talks?" Qi Jingxi asked uncomfortably.

Back when Qi Pingle was at home, he always felt something was off about how Qi Pingle spoke and acted.

At that time, he didn't think much of it because she was his sister.

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly: "I'm using this as a tactic to get Father to ask her why she did this."

Qi Jingxi didn't understand: "She came to block Dad's way of wanting him to take her back and keep her at home, didn't she?"

"Then why didn't she just say so?"

Qi Zhiyu chuckled: "Wouldn't it make her seem greedy for the riches and glory of the Prince's mansion if she just said it directly?"

"She wanted to leave the Prince's mansion, but our father insisted on keeping her, and she had no choice."
