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

"Scared?" Qi Zhiyu raised an eyebrow.

Qi Jingxi sighed and pressed her chest: "I just feel that I'm not strong enough."

"I'm making you worry so much."

This is my younger sister.

He was supposed to be the one protecting his sister.

Now, it's his sister who's thinking ahead about everything.

Qi Zhiyu couldn't help but smile; she hadn't seen such sincerity in a very, very long time.

This sincerity and purity were like a raging fire, warming her heart that had been dormant for many years.

"We have different roles," Qi Zhiyu said with a light laugh.

"If it weren't for my second brother, I wouldn't have such detailed information."

"Second Brother investigated so thoroughly in such a short time...Second Brother is amazing."

Qi Jingxi was thrilled and slapped the table smugly: "Sis, I'm not just bragging."

"That's nothing!"

Qi Zhiyu chuckled softly, "What an adorable second brother."

If the King of Wu and his men want to make a move, she needs to prepare in advance.

Ever since witnessing the miracle, the capital has been abuzz with talk of it.

People who met in person back then have recently become highly sought after; wherever they go, they're constantly being asked questions.

When they recounted it, they did so with great vividness and enthusiasm.

Witnessing such a strange event firsthand would be enough for them to boast about for a lifetime.

Of course, as the matter unfolded, the rumors spread not only in the capital but also to people in other places.

They learned that Prince Rui was the man destined by Heaven.

Prince Rui's prestige reached unprecedented heights.

Just then, Lady Jingwen came to Prince Rui's residence, requesting an audience with Princess Rui.

"Your Highness, please go see your father!" Lady Jingwen burst into tears as soon as she saw Princess Rui.

He was very ill.

"I just want to see you."

A deep sense of disgust flashed in Princess Rui's eyes.

How dare her stepmother act as if nothing had ever happened and come looking for her?

"No problem, I'll go with Mother to see Grandfather right now," Qi Zhiyu said as she walked in.

Lady Jingwen slightly tightened her grip on the handkerchief in her hand.

"Madam, are you nervous?" Qi Zhiyu glanced at Madam Jingwen's hand and asked with a light laugh.

Her nonchalance infuriated Lady Jingwen.

He was just born into a good family; who is he trying to impress with his high and mighty attitude?

"What are you saying, Princess? I was just worried about the Earl." Lady Jingwen forced a smile.

"Mother, let's go take a look," Qi Zhiyu said.

Princess Rui nodded.

They had a carriage prepared, and the mother and daughter boarded it. Only then did Lady Jingwen, suppressing her jealousy, climb into her own sedan chair.

So what if you have a horse-drawn carriage?

What's so great about having a luxurious carriage?

Under the same conditions, a sedan chair is naturally more comfortable and stable than a horse-drawn carriage.

However, can the carriages of Prince Rui's mansion be compared to ordinary carriages?

If her family had a carriage like the one in Prince Rui's mansion, she wouldn't ride in a sedan chair.

Throughout the journey, Lady Jingwen was almost consumed by the burning jealousy in her heart.

She went through so much trouble to become the wife of the Earl of Jingwen, but in the end, she still lost.

Tang Ya Hui is the Princess Consort of Rui, and her daughter... is still in prison.

Thinking of all this, Lady Jingwenbo felt as if her heart was being torn apart.

This time, no matter what, she was determined to destroy the Rui family!

By the time Lady Jingwen alighted from her sedan chair, she had composed herself.

"Your Highness, this way please." Lady Jingwen gestured for Princess Rui, Qi Zhiyu, to enter.

Inside the house, Uncle Jingwen heard the noise and weakly asked, "Is that my daughter?"

"Hui'er!"

Princess Rui walked inside expressionlessly.

She hadn't heard such affectionate words since her mother passed away.

Lady Jingwen quickly went over and helped Jingwen sit up.

It's been a while since I last saw him, and to my surprise, Uncle Jingwen looks much more haggard and has lost a lot of weight.

Princess Rui, however, felt no emotion whatsoever upon seeing him like this.

"Hui'er..." Upon seeing Princess Rui, Jingwenbo burst into tears. "It was all my fault."

"Your father thinks that since you are sisters, and you married better and are living a better life than her, he wants you to help her more often."

"I never expected that she would have such feelings for Prince Rui."

Princess Rui gave a cold laugh and remained silent.

She felt that saying even one more word to such a shameless person would be a waste.

Even if she hadn't said anything, Qi Zhiyu would have come anyway.

"Lord Jingwen, the Lady of Weiyuan Marquis is causing quite a stir in the city. Everyone knows my father is in love with her. Didn't you know?" Qi Zhiyu asked, amused.

"You're playing dumb way too stupidly!"

"That won't do."

Jing Wenbo froze. That brat.

"And another thing, you want my mother to forgive you, but if she doesn't, what are you going to do? Just stay sick forever?" Qi Zhiyu asked curiously.

"You know in your heart whether you got sick because my mother ignored you, or because you lost all the support you wanted."

"Of course, the reason King Wu approached you this time is because he promised that if my mother were to bear the stigma of being unfilial, he would become your protector in the future, right?"

Qi Zhiyu bluntly revealed all of Jing Wenbo's schemes, which made his face turn extremely ugly.

Jing Wenbo felt as if he had been completely seen through, inside and out; he had no secrets from Qi Zhiyu.

"You, you... how could you think of me like that?" Of course, Jingwenbo would not admit it.

"You all know perfectly well that my mother will never forgive you. This stigma of being unfilial will definitely be pinned on my mother," Qi Zhiyu said with a sneer.

"My mother will have to compromise and endure the disgust to serve you in order to avoid implicating my father."

"In that case, you can start showing off again and continue to act like a prince and father-in-law."

"As for my father, he absolutely cannot bear to see my mother so wronged."

"If my father were to take action against you, the King of Wu would have a handle to use against him and kill my father."

"No matter what we choose, it's a dead end for our Prince Rui's Mansion."

When Jing Wenbo saw that Qi Zhiyu had explained the pros and cons clearly, he stopped pretending.

"So what if you know?" Jingwenbo said smugly in a cold voice.

"I am your maternal grandfather, and your mother's biological father!"

"Regardless of anything, this blood relation is something she can never escape for the rest of her life!"

He is Tang Ya Hui's father.

Even if she is the high and mighty Princess Rui, she still has to be respectful to him!

"I can divorce the Prince!" Princess Rui said calmly. "What else can you do?"

Jing Wenbo was shocked: "Are you crazy?"

"Do you even know what you're saying?"

"Divorce? What are you thinking?"

"As long as I can get rid of you and stop you from hurting my family, what does divorce matter?" Princess Rui did not struggle at all.

As long as I can protect my family, what does everything else matter?

"Mother..." Qi Zhiyu grabbed Princess Rui's hand, "Why should you wrong yourself?"

"Actually, resolving this matter is very simple."

Under the puzzled gaze of Princess Rui, Qi Zhiyu said lightly, "Wouldn't it be better if he were dead?"
