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

Qi Pingyue wept, her face streaked with tears.

Combined with the sound of slapping hands, it was surprisingly pleasant to hear.

humiliation!

The extreme humiliation hit him like a ton of bricks, causing Qi Pingyue to glare at Qi Zhiyu with resentment.

She even knelt down and begged Qi Zhiyu, but Qi Zhiyu didn't stop her.

Were the nannies from Prince Rui's mansion slapping Madam Wei's face repeatedly?

That was clearly hitting her!

"Implicate the innocent?" Qi Zhiyu raised an eyebrow in surprise and looked at Old Madam Wei.

"What? Madam, your daughter-in-law has committed insubordination, and she's innocent?"

Madam Wei's lips trembled, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "Not innocent!"

"She deserves it."

Qi Zhiyu smiled with satisfaction, looking down at Qi Pingle: "Did you hear that?"

"Even the old lady thought her daughter-in-law deserved to be beaten."

Qi Ping felt a sudden rush of heat to his cheeks, as if they were on fire.

Is Madam Wei senile?

She was trying to help Madam Wei out of a predicament, but Madam Wei actually betrayed her?

Are you crazy?

"Alright," Qi Zhiyu instructed, "Stop."

The old woman then stopped and returned to stand respectfully behind Qi Zhiyu.

Qi Zhiyu said calmly, "This princess must at least give Old Madam Wei some face."

"Thank you, Princess." Old Madam Wei said, suppressing her anger.

"However... Madam Wei, you'll have to keep a close eye on your family members from now on," Qi Zhiyu admonished.

"A married woman sending a maid to find another man... what is she trying to do?"

Madam Wei, who was dizzy and seeing stars after being hit, suddenly snapped to attention and tried to defend herself.

But just as she was about to open her mouth, the pain made her vision go black, and she almost fainted.

"I will certainly discipline them properly." Old Madam Wei lowered her head, but in reality, she was gritting her teeth in hatred.

That damned bastard, that unfaithful man!

This daughter-in-law needs to be properly taught manners!

The onlookers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Wasn't it said that Prince Rui was constantly pestering Lady Weiyuan?

Now it seems... something's not quite right.

"Princess, please don't misunderstand the Lady of the Marquis," Qi Pingyue argued.

"The Lady of the Marquis knows that I have been kicked out of the manor, and she wants to ask about the situation."

Madam Wei, enduring the pain, managed to utter only a weak voice, "Fourteen years of family ties, how can you just throw them away like that?"

"I just wanted to ask..."

"Ask?" Qi Zhiyu looked at Old Madam Wei with amusement. "Old Madam, is this how your daughter-in-law usually handles things?"

"Why ask your brother-in-law instead of your own elder sister?"

"And they just casually sent a maid to call my brother-in-law to see her?"

As Qi Zhiyu spoke, Old Madam Wei's face grew increasingly dark.

"Although I just got back, I've heard that my father has been obsessed with the Lady Hou... Now it seems that the rumors were wrong." Qi Zhiyu glanced around with her beautiful eyes.

"Come on, tell me, how did my dad become so obsessed with me? What did he do?"

"Who among you saw this, and when and where?"

The people around them exchanged glances, their hearts tightening, and they were somewhat confused.

Yes.

It's always said that Prince Rui was obsessed with Lady Weiyuan, but they've never actually seen what he did.

Madam Wei spoke of this with great confidence.

She raised her head and spoke with a smug expression that overshadowed the pain on her face: "The prince always gives me things under the pretext that I can't refuse."

"So?" Qi Zhiyu asked curiously.

Madam Wei was stunned: "Isn't that enough?"

"You think I wanted to take those things? No, no..."

As she spoke, Madam Wei covered her face with her sleeve in shame and stomped her feet angrily.

It made it seem as if she was forced into it.

This affected manner made Qi Zhiyu feel nauseous.

She tried to tell herself that this was not the original world, not the original world.

We can't just kill it with one slap!

After silently reassuring herself three times, Qi Zhiyu finally suppressed her murderous intent.

"Have you ever thought that those things were given under those pretexts in the first place?" Qi Zhiyu said with a mocking laugh.

"Madam Wei, narcissism is a disease. You'd better find a good doctor to see you. I think you're quite ill."

Madam Wei froze, incredulously lowered her sleeve, and stared intently at Qi Zhiyu.

Qi Zhiyu said, "Anyway, no one saw what you were talking about, so I don't know exactly how it got out."

"However, this maid of yours went to my Prince Rui's mansion and specifically asked my father to come and see you. Someone saw that."

"That's true. My mother is the legitimate daughter, while you are just a concubine's daughter. I can understand your desire for face and your little thoughts of surpassing your legitimate sister."

Madam Wei swayed, and if it weren't for the maid supporting her, she would have almost fallen.

"Don't you dare make false accusations!" Madam Wei roared, the pain on her face far outweighing her shame and indignation.

She wanted nothing more than to tear Qi Zhiyu apart alive.

"Shut up!" Old Madam Wei shouted angrily.

She may not care about her reputation, but the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion certainly does!

Madam Wei trembled, gritted her teeth, and immediately changed the subject: "Let's not talk about those things."

"However, Qi Pingle has lived in the Prince's mansion for fourteen years. How can you just kick her out like that? How can you be so heartless?"

Qi Zhiyu smiled and said, "The Marquis of Weiyuan's family is kind and benevolent, which I greatly admire."

"Then please enlighten me, Madam Wei. If spies from enemy states or the families of disgraced officials were accidentally taken in by the Marquis of Weiyuan's household, you would continue to protect them, wouldn't you?"

Madam Wei's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly stated her position: "Absolutely impossible!"

"Although the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion is kind-hearted, if we knew that the person we were helping had an unusual identity, we would never protect them out of pity!"

"Really?" Qi Zhiyu glanced at Madam Wei with amusement, clearly not believing her.

Old Madam Wei's face darkened. This jinx!

"How can they be the same?" Madam Wei hurriedly explained.

"When the babies were switched at birth, Qi Pingle was just a newborn infant. How innocent she was!"

Qi Zhiyu laughed: "Many of the sons of disgraced officials were still infants. When their families were raided and their households exterminated, weren't they all killed?"

"You mean... the law and all the emperors throughout history were wrong?"

Madam Wei was terrified, her whole body turned ice-cold, especially the gazes directed at her from all around, which felt like knives stabbing into her.

"Madam Hou is truly kind!" Qi Zhiyu exclaimed, her face full of admiration.

Madam Wei, however, wore a frosty expression and said through gritted teeth, "Princess, I will teach her well."

"The old lady is reasonable." Qi Zhiyu nodded.

"In that case, I will not disturb you any longer." Qi Zhiyu was about to turn around when she suddenly stopped and smiled at Madam Wei.

"Back then, when my mother was pregnant, you insisted on inviting her to go to the mountains to pray for blessings."

"My mother had an accident with the carriage on the way, which led to her premature birth at a nearby farmhouse."

"Qi Ping and I were switched by that farmer."

"Madam Wei, what a coincidence!"
