Unbeknownst to Marquis Weiyuan, he had already been removed from his core position by the King of Wu.

Tang Jingrou was still crying, and Qi Pingle was also shedding tears.

The King of Wu felt that the farce before him was so absurd and childish.

He, who came with Qi Pingle, became like a monkey with a rope around its neck on the street.

At this moment, Qi Zhiyu, who was smiling, was the one watching the show.

But, unfortunately, he couldn't call a halt.

If we stop Tang Jingrou and Qi Pingle now, wouldn't that be admitting that he didn't even have a basic sense of judgment?

King Wu stared intently at Qi Zhiyu, wishing he could pierce her with his gaze!

What a Qi Zhiyu!

This completely blocked all his paths.

He hadn't felt this kind of stifling feeling for many years.

Most recently, he lost to Prince Rui, who was then the crown prince, forcing him to avoid his sharp edge. It wasn't until he used Tang Jingrou that he was able to turn the tables.

"Girl, girl!" An old woman with a wrinkled face pushed through the crowd and rushed over.

Behind her was an old man, and family members who were clearly their descendants.

Wow, more than twenty people, that's quite a lot.

Qi Pingle, who was crying, froze as if someone had suddenly acupunctured her.

The old woman suddenly threw herself at Qi Pingle, crying, "My little girl!"

Then, she forcefully pushed away Tang Jingrou, who was hugging Qi Pingle.

"You despicable person!" the old woman cursed viciously. "You promised my girl would eat and drink well and live a life of luxury!"

"Now you're going to kick her out!"

"I won't agree!"

The old woman's words contained a lot of information.

Everyone around immediately perked up their ears and craned their necks, wanting to hear and see clearly.

Something's definitely going on here!

Still a secret of the wealthy family!

Everyone's interest was completely piqued.

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Tang Jingrou panicked, her voice involuntarily rising.

"Mother, Mother, you've misunderstood. The Lady of the Marquis didn't want to kick me out," Qi Pingle quickly explained.

"Mother, you go back first. I'll tell you later if there's anything else."

The old woman objected: "Pah! Who's talking nonsense?"

"If you hadn't promised to let my girl enjoy a life of luxury, I wouldn't have let you switch her with someone else!"

"Now you're going back on your word, how could you do this?"

"So what if you're the Lady of a Marquis? Does being the Lady of a Marquis give you the right to be unreasonable?"

"Come quick, everyone! Someone's trying to scam our honest family!"

"They're bullying me... I can't live like this... My life is so miserable..."

Tang Jingrou's face was as ugly as it could possibly be.

At this very moment, Qi Zhiyu seemed to realize something: "Tang Jingrou, it really was you who orchestrated the switching of the children back then!"

"I didn't!" Tang Jingrou retorted sharply.

She pointed at the old woman: "How would I know she's carrying a girl?"

When the old woman heard Tang Jingrou deny it, she spat fiercely: "You found several women who were about to give birth back then."

"Whoever gives birth to a girl, you can have her!"

"And it's all thanks to my good fortune; it was exactly the time you wanted, and I gave birth to a girl!"

The old woman looked at Qi Pingle with loving eyes: "My dear girl, all I want is for you to have a good life!"

"You have no idea how hard life is for our family... We really can't support you!"

Qi Pingle was in tears, this time it wasn't an act, she was genuinely terrified: "Mother, Mother, please stop talking nonsense!"

"The Lady of the Marquis did not intend to send me away..."

"Girl, don't be fooled!" the old woman said with great experience. "Wealthy families like theirs are the worst."

"Whether she doesn't kick you out or forces you to leave, it's the same thing!"

Qi Pingle was furious and yelled, "Shut up! Are you trying to get me killed?"

She was putting on an act with Tang Jingrou.

The purpose was to wash away Tang Jingrou's bad reputation while destroying Prince Rui.

Her mother suddenly ran out. What's going on?

They completely disrupted their plans!

If the plan fails, how will she fare?

The old woman was stunned by the shouting.

Qi Zhiyu sneered, "Tang Jingrou, you'd better give me an explanation, otherwise, you can't afford to bear the death penalty for confusing the royal bloodline!"

Tang Jingrou quickly denied it: "She's talking nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, the old woman became agitated: "Who's talking nonsense?"

"I have proof!"

As the old woman spoke, she rummaged through her clothes for a while before pulling out a hairpin: "This is the one you gave me back then!"

"Nonsense!" Tang Jingrou shouted, "You just casually pull out a hairpin and claim it's mine."

"Tell me, who sent you to harm me?"

As Tang Jingrou said this, she glanced meaningfully at Qi Zhiyu.

Although there was no evidence, her intuition told her that Qi Zhiyu must be behind it all.

"We should report this matter directly to our grandfather," Qi Zhiyu sighed.

"After all, this is not just a matter of switching royal offspring; there may be some conspiracy behind it."

"I don't believe that a noblewoman would dare to steal a prince's child out of jealousy."

"This isn't just about her losing her head; it's about her entire family facing execution!"

Tang Jingrou's vision went black, and her body swayed.

Her mind was buzzing, but she knew she couldn't faint!

If she faints, she's completely finished!

The King of Wu realized that the person Qi Zhiyu truly wanted to deal with was him!

What Tang Jingrou?

What is the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence?

Qi Zhiyu didn't take it seriously at all.

Qi Zhiyu wanted to pin the final blame on him for stealing Prince Rui's offspring!

He disappointed his father, and his ministers felt he was short-sighted and alienated from him.

The position of crown prince was completely out of his reach!

So cruel!

Qi Zhiyu... Prince Rui... that's ruthless!

That's brilliant!

"You believed the nonsense of an old country woman, Princess?" Tang Jingrou wanted to calm things down.

We absolutely must not let this escalate to His Majesty's ears!

"She has physical evidence," Qi Zhiyu said.

"Where did this broken hairpin come from? How can it be used as evidence?" Tang Jingrou was furious.

"Who said this is a broken hairpin? This is the one you wore and gave to me back then. There are words on it!" The old woman held up the hairpin and shouted loudly.

"Look, there are words on it!"

Qi Pingyue was terrified and hurriedly snatched the hairpin back.

She glanced at it quickly, then froze, before laughing again: "The character on it is 'Hui'!"

"This character does appear in Princess Rui's given name!"

Tang Jingrou instantly felt like she had come back to life: "So it was Princess Rui's hairpin."

"So, it turns out that all of this was orchestrated by Princess Rui herself, deliberately trying to frame me."

Tang Jingrou burst into tears, feeling wronged: "Even if we're not born of the same mother, we're still sisters!"

"Why would my sister want to kill me?"

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Tang Jingrou would have laughed herself to death.

She thought today was her death day, but unexpectedly, things took a dramatic turn for the better!

"This matter must be reported to His Majesty," Tang Jingrou said, staring at Qi Zhiyu and enunciating each word clearly.

"In order to deal with me, Princess Rui actually conspired with others to switch her own daughter."

"A mother can be cold-blooded and ruthless!"

"As a royal consort, she has confused the royal bloodline and framed court officials; how can she be let off lightly?"
