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

Madam Zheng froze, her mind going blank for a moment.

broken!

Zheng Mingxuan gripped the blanket tightly with both hands, her mind racing to think of a solution.

Qi Zhiyu asked in confusion, "Why does the daughter of a court official insist that a princess of the court come out to see her?"

"I must say... Lord Zheng has such great official power, and the Zheng family has such grand pomp, even surpassing the royal family!"

Madam Zheng's legs went weak, and she knelt down with a thud.

Those who were just criticizing Qi Zhiyu for abusing her power were all shocked by this reversal.

The daughter of the Zheng family actually dared to make the princess come out to see her. What audacity!

"Isn't it a bit late for Madam Zheng to admit her mistake now?" Qi Zhiyu sneered.

Her gaze fell lightly on Zheng Mingxuan's face.

Zheng Mingxuan's flustered look pleased Qi Zhiyu greatly.

A favorite of Heaven?

Pooh!

If she doesn't ruin the reputations of all those favored by Heaven, she'll have no choice but to kill herself.

I can't afford to lose face like that!

"Princess, you've misunderstood me," Zheng Mingxuan said weakly.

This pitiful act is quite effective at eliciting sympathy from others.

At least the surrounding chatter subsided considerably.

"I'm too embarrassed to go in," Zheng Mingxuan said apologetically.

"It was I who offended the princess, and she punished me with a beating."

Upon hearing this, those around exclaimed, "Oh dear, Miss Zheng's injuries were caused by the princess."

This princess is quite ruthless.

This delicate girl was punished with a cane.

This is not just pain, it's humiliation!

What grudge could this be?

"I've come to dissolve my engagement with the Crown Prince," Zheng Mingxuan said, sobbing. "I'm not worthy of him."

Qi Zhiyu nodded in agreement: "You really don't deserve it!"

Zheng Mingxuan choked, unable to continue the conversation.

How could Qi Zhiyu say that?

Why is she not worthy?

Madam Zheng said unhappily, "Princess, who doesn't know that the young master is disabled in both legs and will be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life?"

"It was my daughter who stayed by my side and insisted on fulfilling the marriage agreement."

Qi Zhiyu chuckled: "Madam Zheng, have you forgotten why my elder brother is unable to stand?"

Mrs. Zheng shut up in embarrassment.

Qi Zhiyu wasn't about to let her off the hook: "That's because my older brother saved her!"

"If my older brother hadn't pushed her away when the roof beam fell, your daughter Zheng Mingxuan would have been the one crushed underneath!"

"Perhaps your daughter would have been crushed to death long ago, then you wouldn't have the chance to come here and say my brother is unworthy."

"Princess, you've misunderstood my mother. Actually..." Zheng Mingxuan tried to explain.

Qi Zhiyu interrupted her bluntly: "That's fine too, it lets us know what the Zheng family is thinking."

"So, from your family's perspective, your marriage to my eldest brother was a disservice to you."

"Leaving aside the fact that you saved my life back then, just think about how many good things my elder brother has given you over the years?"

Qi Zhiyu felt a pang of heartache when she thought about the money her older brother had spent on Zheng Mingxuan.

She wouldn't mind if her own money was thrown into the water and made a splash.

But, giving it to an ungrateful wretch... that's absolutely unacceptable!

"Don't act like you're being wronged by having a marriage agreement with my older brother!" Qi Zhiyu sneered.

"Zheng Mingxuan, you pick up your bowl to eat, then put it down and curse... Isn't that incredibly shameless?"

Zheng Mingxuan blushed deeply, especially when she felt the strange gazes around her falling on her, like sharp knives stabbing her painfully.

She desperately wanted to leave, but she knew she couldn't.

If she leaves, her reputation will be completely ruined!

"No... those things are not what I want, really not," Zheng Mingxuan explained repeatedly.

"It was all the Crown Prince who insisted on giving it to me; I didn't want it."

"But I don't want it. I'm afraid the prince will think I look down on him, so... so I'm only accepting it for now."

"Don't want it? Fine, give it back now." Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

Zheng Mingxuan was completely stunned.

Return it?

Can something that has been given away be taken back?

Is Qi Zhiyu desperate for money?

How shameless!

"What? Didn't you say you didn't want it? Didn't you say you'd accept it for now?" Qi Zhiyu asked in surprise.

"Or are those just excuses you're using?"

"Actually, you just wanted it, but you insisted on giving me a reason that my older brother forced on you."

"Wow...you're really something. You accepted the gifts, took the benefits, and in the end, it was my older brother who forced you to accept them, even though you didn't want them!"

"Tsk tsk tsk... That's a clever way to accept gifts."

"Don't feel obligated; it will only make people think that my older brother forced you."

"If there's such a good thing again, please let me know, Miss Zheng. I'd like to experience it too."

puff……

The people around couldn't help but burst out laughing.

When they saw that they weren't the only ones laughing, but everyone was laughing, they felt relieved.

Since the law doesn't punish everyone, then let's not put up with it.

Laughter erupted immediately.

Although no one around said anything, the laughter said it all!

Madam Zheng and Zheng Mingxuan were so laughed at that they wished they could disappear into the ground. Even the servants of the Zheng family lowered their heads and tried their best to make themselves less noticeable.

Why does their young lady do things this way?

"Princess, you've misunderstood me. If you mind, I can return everything." Zheng Mingxuan gritted her teeth to prove her innocence.

"Okay!" Qi Zhiyu quickly agreed, "I'll have someone take the list to the Zheng family in a bit."

Zheng Mingxuan was stunned. Qi Zhiyu really wanted it?

But with the die already cast, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree: "Okay!"

Mrs. Zheng looked at her daughter in disbelief.

Do we have to return all those things?

The problem is... the money is one thing, but a lot of the good stuff they gave away.

Could anything Qi Jingchen gives away be bad?

Many of them are unique items that you can't buy even if you have the money!

Zheng Mingxuan could see what her mother meant, but the problem was, in this situation, if she didn't say she would return it, what could she do?

Does that mean she's a vain person?

"Princess, I feel I am not good enough for the Crown Prince, so I wish to annul the engagement." Zheng Mingxuan brought the topic back.

"Please trouble the princess to invite the young master out so we can talk in person."

This is her trump card!

So what if Qi Zhiyu can be so energetic?

Qi Jingchen is in love with her, so everything Qi Zhiyu just did was in vain!

Madam Zheng also realized, "Yes, Qi Jingchen is the key to the problem!"

"Yes, Princess, please ask the young master to come out and see you," Madam Zheng said, then added considerately, "If it's inconvenient for the young master, we can go in as well."

"No need." A clear male voice drew everyone's attention, and a servant from the Prince Rui's residence pushed a wheelchair out.

Qi Jingchen, sitting in his wheelchair, said in a deep voice, "Yu'er, this is not something you should concern yourself with!"

A smug smile appeared in Zheng Mingxuan's eyes.

She said that Qi Jingchen couldn't live without her!

Qi Jingchen raised his hand, and a jade pendant was flicked in front of Zheng Mingxuan: "The jade pendant from the engagement is returned to you."

"From now on, men and women will have no connection whatsoever in marriage!"
