"There must be neutral ministers in the court," Qi Zhiyu said, looking at Prince Rui.

Prince Rui nodded and explained the situation in the court to her in detail.

At first, Prince Rui spoke quite slowly, afraid that his daughter wouldn't remember.

However, as he spoke, he noticed that there was no trace of confusion or doubt in Yu'er's eyes.

Clearly, she remembered everything he said and had figured out the relationships between them.

After Prince Rui finished speaking, Qi Zhiyu went back to her room thoughtfully to consider how to proceed.

After she left, Princess Rui's tears finally fell: "Yu'er, what kind of life did you live before?"

"Hide your strength and bide your time." Prince Rui closed his eyes, suppressing the dull pain in his heart.

Qi Jingchen pursed his lips.

His sister has really had a tough time.

While pretending to be an ordinary person in Qi Pingle's family, he also had to learn all sorts of things.

If they hadn't found their sister, she would probably have left the Qi family in a few years.

However, by then, they probably wouldn't be able to find their sister anymore.

"Thankfully, we found my sister." Qi Jingxi patted her chest, still feeling a sense of relief.

Qi Jingchen glanced at him; clearly, the brothers were thinking the same thing.

It's no use for them to feel sorry for each other now; what's done is done.

From now on, they will take good care of her.

That damned Qi Pingle family!

It's disgusting that they share the same surname as that family!

"I'll kill them all," Qi Jingxi said through gritted teeth.

"No need," Qi Jingchen stopped him.

"Brother, are you going to let them go?" Qi Jingxi frowned. When did his brother become so soft-hearted?

Qi Jingchen looked at his father: "Someone should be able to do it for us."

Sure enough, the next day, Qi Pingle, who had hastily fled the capital, encountered a life-or-death crisis.

"What are you doing?" Qi Pingle's hair was disheveled and her clothes were in disarray, caused by her sisters-in-law forcibly searching her.

"Is that all?" Old Man Qi scouted through Qi Pingle's bundle with disdain and cursed, "What a useless thing."

"Let me go!" Qi Pingle struggled fiercely as his hands and feet were bound.

She had a bad feeling about it.

"Alright, stop struggling." Brother Qi went over and kicked Qi Pingle.

"None of your older sisters escaped before."

Qi Pingle was stunned: "I have an older sister?"

Brother Qi chuckled, making Qi Pingle feel uneasy.

"Yes, of course we have them!" Brother Qi exchanged glances with his two younger brothers and laughed heartily.

"However, when they couldn't make ends meet, they went to exchange money for other things."

Qi Pingyue was shocked: "You sold them out?"

"Are you even human?"

She doesn't want to be sold!

Snapped!

Brother Qi slapped Qi Pingle across the face.

Old Man Qi was displeased: "Eldest brother, don't slap her face."

"If they're injured, they won't fetch a good price."

"Yes, Dad, I understand," Brother Qi replied.

"Fourteen, that's about the right age, you should be able to sell for a higher price, right?" Second Brother Qi looked Qi Pingle up and down, just like he was looking at a piece of merchandise.

"Definitely," Brother Qi said smugly. "She's raised by such a wealthy family; she's so pretty and delicate, she'll definitely be popular."

Qi Pingyue's voice trembled with fear: "Where are you going to sell me to?"

Could it be the dirty place she's thinking of?

"What's your name?" Old Man Qi asked impatiently.

"You killed your mother, so what if I sold you?"

"Besides, all the daughters of the Qi family are sold there."

"You are not human!" Qi Pingle screamed in despair.

Old Man Qi scoffed disdainfully, "Are you even human? You're just taking up someone else's spot and enjoying yourself."

"I didn't know. It's not like I was the one who wanted to be replaced," Qi Pingle denied.

She is innocent!

"Come on," Old Man Qi sneered. "Your mother came looking for you when you were ten years old."

"I know about the jewelry and silver you gave her."

"You really think you're not wrong? Why don't you tell the prince that you were switched at birth!"

"He didn't say anything, but isn't he just trying to monopolize that life of luxury?"

"How dare you!" Qi Pingle was furious when his thoughts were exposed.

The Qi family burst into laughter, pointing and whispering mockingly at Qi Pingle.

"Still being presumptuous?"

"Does she really think she's some kind of pampered young lady from a royal family?"

"You counterfeit!"

These heart-wrenching words all came from her family, and Qi Pingle couldn't bear it and screamed.

"What's your name?" Brother Qi impatiently stuffed a rag into her mouth.

"Father, sell her as soon as possible, it'll save you trouble."

Old Man Qi nodded: "Let's go."

Brother Qi grabbed Qi Pingle and pulled him out of the dilapidated house, saying, "Don't move!"

"If it weren't for you, would we have run away and been hiding in this dilapidated house yesterday?"

"All you do is cause trouble!"

Brother Qi stepped out of the room, cursing and swearing, but suddenly he stopped.

Old Man Qi urged, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go."

Brother Qi still didn't move.

Old Man Qi gave him an impatient shove.

With that one thud, Brother Qi fell straight forward and crashed heavily to the ground.

Only then did Old Man Qi see clearly the blood splattered on the ground.

Without a second thought, Old Man Qi turned and ran toward the window.

He had just rushed to the window when a sharp sword lying across the window blocked his escape route.

Old Man Qi retreated in fear.

Several men carrying sharp knives walked in.

Qi Pingle, now untied, followed them in with a face full of hatred.

Old Man Qi swallowed nervously, "Daughter..."

"Pah, don't call me that!" Qi Pingle cursed.

"Kill them!" Qi Pingle pointed at Old Man Qi and the others.

Would they dare sell her to a place like that?

These people deserve to die!

"I'm your father!" Old Man Qi roared, "You unfilial daughter!"

The visitor asked, "Miss Qi, are all your family members here?"

Qi Pingle nodded: "That's right!"

When those bastards said they wanted to sell her, not one of them wanted to let her go!

They all deserve to die!

"Leave no one alive!" Qi Pingyue said bitterly.

"Yes!" The newcomer stepped forward, brandishing his sword.

The Qi family members cursed at Qi Pingle, but it was no use.

One sword at a time, and soon, the entire Qi family became victims of his sword!

Facing a room full of dead bodies, Qi Pingle laughed heartily!

They deserved to want to harm her!

Damn!

They all deserve to die!

"You are... from the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence?" Qi Pingle thought that the only people who would come looking for her now were from the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence.

"Is there anything the old lady needs me to do?"

She should still have value; she can deal with Prince Rui and his group.

"Is it to deal with Prince Rui? I will do everything in my power!"

Prince Rui and his family have caused her so much suffering; everyone in Prince Rui's mansion deserves to die a horrible death!

"Yes." The man smiled at Qi Ping, "Please continue your journey, young lady!"

Before he could finish speaking, the long sword in the newcomer's hand pierced through Qi Pingle's abdomen.
