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

"I like to solve problems at their root," Qi Zhiyu said with a slight smile.

Wasn't Madam Wei trying to frame someone?

Then she'll find an absolutely authoritative witness.

I witnessed firsthand what the people from the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence did.

That solves the problem.

evidence?

refute?

Why go through all that trouble?

"Well done, Yu'er," Princess Rui said proudly.

"Who's going to argue with them?" Princess Rui scolded irritably.

"That old hag, Madam Wei, used such despicable means to harm our family."

"My son is really something; he nipped her plan in the bud!"

The Prince Rui's family was living in harmony, but many noble families in the capital were in an uproar.

The Marquis of Weiyuan's residence has been breached!

Who's next?

Marquis Weiyuan and King Wu were cousins. As soon as Marquis Weiyuan got into trouble, King Wu immediately withdrew without hesitation.

If the King of Wu abandoned Marquis Weiyuan so decisively and ruthlessly, what about them?

Those in King Wu's faction were all living in fear.

How could the King of Wu not know their thoughts and concerns?

The problem is, this isn't something he can solve by explaining or talking about it.

To appease people's hearts... a catalyst is needed for quick results.

"Qi Zhiyu, Prince Rui! Damn it!" King Wu roared in fury.

They not only blocked the deadly attack from the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, but also destroyed the mansion and dealt him a heavy blow.

He suffered heavy losses in this confrontation.

How to turn the situation around is what he urgently needs to solve now.

"Your Highness." A servant knocked on the door from outside.

"Come in." King Wu knew that unless it was something important, the servant wouldn't dare to disturb him.

"Your Highness, the Empress has sent word that the Princess's small banquet is approaching," a servant announced as he entered.

The King of Wu's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "Hmm, I understand. You may leave."

Right, how could he forget the Princess's small banquet?

The eldest princess was his father's younger sister, not much older than him.

I have an excellent relationship with him.

If Qi Zhiyu is disgraced, it will be good for her followers to see her methods and to reassure them.

Let them know that he has many trump cards up his sleeve, and that Qi Zhiyu alone cannot sway him.

Prince Rui has absolutely no chance of winning against him!

The eldest princess hosted a small banquet, inviting only noble ladies and young women. The King of Wu went to see his queen and offered her some advice.

If Consort De could think of this, then Princess Rui naturally thought of it as well.

"Yu'er, do you think this looks good?" More than worrying about the eldest princess's reaction, Princess Rui was more concerned about her daughter's attire.

Qi Zhiyu found it too troublesome and directly told the shop assistant, "Send all of these to Prince Rui's residence."

The shop assistant was astonished: "Princess, you...you mean...you want all of these new products?"

"Yes," Qi Zhiyu said matter-of-factly.

The shop assistants were astonished.

As the largest jewelry shop in the capital, every piece of their newly arrived jewelry is incredibly valuable.

Although people from noble families are known for their extravagant spending, they are used to it.

But he had never seen anyone spend money like Princess Chen'an.

However, if Princess Chen'an wanted them all, he would only be happy.

He also gets a cut of the profits from each sale.

"Alright, I'll pack them all up for you right now, Princess. We'll deliver them to your residence shortly," the shop assistant said solicitously.

"Mm." Qi Zhiyu nodded slightly.

"Mother, let's go." Qi Zhiyu looked at her mother.

Princess Rui stood there blankly, without moving.

"Mother?" Qi Zhiyu asked, puzzled.

"The princess is certainly extravagant," someone scoffed. "Have you considered the Prince's mansion's feelings when you spend money like this?"

Qi Zhiyu frowned; the third floor was reserved for VIPs.

In other words, those who are received individually on the third floor are absolutely certain of their identity.

She just couldn't understand why there were people meddling in other people's business on the third floor.

Qi Zhiyu turned her head and saw a woman, well... how should I put it?

She was dressed very simply, not because she was poor, but because she was exceptionally elegant.

Just like a plum blossom braving the snow, it possesses an inherently proud and unyielding spirit.

But it's really incongruous for someone with such a temperament to interfere in other people's business.

"Xuan'er greets Your Highness." Zheng Mingxuan walked over and bowed to Princess Rui.

Princess Rui frowned: "Zheng Mingxuan, it's none of your business how my daughter spends her money."

Zheng Mingxuan looked up at Princess Rui in shock.

Normally, when Princess Rui sees her, she is always all smiles.

This time, instead of immediately dispensing with courtesy, he also reprimanded her.

When has Zheng Mingxuan ever suffered such humiliation?

"Your Highness, I was only thinking of the Prince Rui's residence." Zheng Mingxuan proudly raised her head, stating her position.

"With the princess spending money like this, has she ever considered the prince and princess's feelings?"

When Qi Zhiyu heard this name, she knew who the person in front of her was.

This is his fiancée, whom his older brother saved.

However, her older brother was injured and unable to walk properly, and every time his fiancée came to visit him, her older brother became increasingly depressed.

"What a joke!" Princess Rui exclaimed angrily. "It's only natural for me, the princess, to spend money on my daughter."

"Do you need to meddle in other people's business?"

Zheng Mingxuan's eyes instantly reddened, but she stubbornly refused to let her tears fall: "Your Highness, I meant well."

"The princess has just returned, and it's not a good habit for her to squander money. If the princess consort doesn't discipline her and instead indulges her, it will harm her."

The third floor may be less crowded, but that doesn't mean there are no other guests.

Upon hearing this, the guests all turned their complicated gazes toward Zheng Mingxuan and her group.

Zheng Mingxuan straightened up and raised her chin slightly.

Everything she said made sense. So what if the person opposite her was a princess?

She was doing it for the good of Prince Rui's mansion.

If Princess Rui refutes her, it proves that Princess Rui is indulging and spoiling Qi Zhiyu.

When the time comes, once Qi Zhiyu's reputation for being willful and capricious spreads, it won't just be Qi Zhiyu who gets criticized, but also Princess Rui.

If Princess Rui had listened to the advice, then Qi Zhiyu would have been in the wrong just now.

No matter how you look at it, she is in the right.

Princess Rui frowned, about to speak, but Qi Zhiyu interrupted her: "Zheng Mingxuan, you haven't even married my elder brother yet, and you're already trying to control the money of my Prince Rui's mansion."

"You've got a lot on your mind."

As soon as Qi Zhiyu finished speaking, bursts of suppressed laughter immediately rose from the surrounding area.

Zheng Mingxuan blushed as she was laughed at, and she quickly retorted, "Princess, I just think you shouldn't be so wasteful."

"Me, a princess, buying some jewelry is a waste?" Qi Zhiyu didn't understand.

"Buying is fine, but buying so much at once... is really unnecessary." Zheng Mingxuan stared at Qi Zhiyu disapprovingly.

Qi Zhiyu laughed exaggeratedly: "Oh my... Miss Zheng, you're being nosy."

"Why do you care how much or how little people buy? What? Does anyone need to ask you for permission before spending their own money?"

Qi Zhiyu looked around and said, "You guys! When you're going to buy something, inform Miss Zheng first."

"You can only buy it if she agrees!"
