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

Prince Rui and his men have won a brilliant victory this time.

However, when they returned to Prince Rui's residence, they did not cheer or celebrate.

Instead, his expression was solemn.

Qi Jingxi looked at this and that, and after holding back for a long time, she couldn't help but say, "Um... let me ask you something."

"Didn't the King of Wu lose this time? Jingwenbo was also poisoned, and for the rest of his life, he can only be paralyzed in bed and torment the Tian family."

"We...we won, aren't we happy?"

"It's not that I'm unhappy," Qi Zhiyu said, "it's just that it will cause a backlash."

Qi Jingxi blinked twice: "The water's turned muddy, isn't that our chance?"

Qi Zhiyu looked at him and gave him a thumbs up: "Second brother is right."

Qi Jingxi then realized, "Aren't you worried?"

"I'm not worried," Qi Zhiyu said with a light laugh. "At worst, we'll just go down together and die."

Anyway, our parents have already made preparations for this.

Qi Jingxi turned to look at her parents.

Prince Rui sighed: "Although we have prepared for the worst, we will definitely not use it unless absolutely necessary."

"Now that the King of Wu has lost, those people will definitely do everything they can to protect him."

"From now on... we'll be under even more pressure."

At this point, if those people don't suppress him, are they going to wait until he has completely taken control and everything has settled down?

"It's big, isn't it?" Qi Jingxi said nonchalantly, but her eyes were exceptionally firm. "All these years, our family hasn't fallen apart."

His father was deposed as crown prince and became Prince Rui. Which of those people in the capital who had been won over by Prince Wu didn't want to take a beating?

Later, his elder brother injured his leg and became unable to walk properly, and those people became even more ruthless.

Their methods, of course, wouldn't be cheap or direct.

They used perfectly legitimate means to seize his father's power.

Even if the Emperor's grandfather favored them, it was difficult to stop such a thing.

"Now, we can fight back. We can pay them back for all the things they've done to our family over the years!" Qi Jingxi smiled brightly, but her smile was chillingly cold.

"Second brother, this is not a good idea," Qi Zhiyu shook her head in disapproval.

Qi Jingxi immediately suppressed her smile and obediently reflected, "Was I too sharp-tongued?"

"That's true, I am a playboy, and what I said just now didn't quite fit my image."

Qi Zhiyu chuckled lightly, "Isn't being a playboy just about being reckless and disregarding everything?"

"Huh?" Qi Jingxi raised an eyebrow in surprise.

His sister supports him.

"It doesn't matter what," Qi Zhiyu said. "I'm not sure what to say, but I mean, Second Brother, you're too kind."

Qi Jingxi blinked blankly, seemingly understanding but not comprehending.

"What they did to us, we will naturally have to repay a thousandfold." Qi Zhiyu smiled at Qi Jingxi.

"After all, we value etiquette. We should reciprocate the 'gifts' others give us with even greater courtesy."

Qi Jingxi slapped the table excitedly: "My sister is so sensible!"

"It was my oversight; I almost acted rudely!"

His sister did a great job.

Look, that Tian woman used to torment their mother because she was a stepmother.

Now, Tian Shi has been completely exposed in front of Jingwen Bo, allowing him to see clearly what kind of thoughts Tian Shi truly has for him.

After Jing Wenbo was paralyzed in bed, he couldn't find anyone else. If he didn't torment Tian Shi, how else could he vent his resentment and anger?

"Father, you two should discuss what to do next." Qi Zhiyu stood up. "I'm going to the Jingwen Marquis's residence."

"Sis, where are you going?" Qi Jingxi asked, puzzled.

"Uncle Jingwen has indeed been poisoned, so I should bring some things to visit him," Qi Zhiyu said.

"I'll go with you," said Princess Rui.

As her daughter, it wouldn't be right for her not to step in.

"Mother, if you feel disgusted by him and don't want to see him, you don't have to go," Qi Zhiyu said, trying to stop her.

"Besides, Mother, you have a legitimate reason."

Princess Rui was puzzled, so Qi Jingxi asked directly, "What's the reason?"

"My biological father is seriously poisoned, and my mother is too grief-stricken to go," Qi Zhiyu said earnestly, and the room fell silent.

After a long pause, Qi Jingxi finally spoke up, his voice dry and strained: "Sis, your reason... is just too flimsy."

"Everyone in the capital knows about Mother's relationship with Uncle Jingwen."

"No one who isn't a fool would believe that."

Qi Zhiyu casually remarked, "Does it matter whether they believe it or not?"

"Are they really going to come to our house and confront me face to face?"

Qi Jingxi: "..."

He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Qi Zhiyu.

It has to be his sister!

admire!

Qi Zhiyu didn't delay and went directly to the Jingwen Earl's residence with several brocade boxes.

She alighted from her carriage in the courtyard of the Earl of Jingwen's mansion and could clearly sense that everyone in the mansion was very nervous.

Qi Zhiyu acted as if nothing had happened and walked inside, led by her maid.

She heard crying and shouting from inside before she even entered the room.

Qi Zhiyu smiled, stepped over the threshold, and went inside.

Inside the room, people were kneeling on the floor.

Jing Wenbo is not paralyzed yet, but he sits in a chair with an extremely pale face.

"Yu'er is here." The moment Uncle Jingwen saw Qi Zhiyu, the anger on his face instantly turned into a joyful smile.

"Quickly, have a seat," Uncle Jingwen greeted warmly.

Qi Zhiyu had just sat down when the maid brought over tea and snacks.

"Try these new kinds of pastries and see if they suit your taste," Uncle Jingwen said with a fawning smile.

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly, not bothered by the food, but instead glanced at the person kneeling on the ground: "Lord, what's wrong?"

Jing Wenbo's face darkened: "They're all insignificant fellows, they're not important."

The person kneeling on the ground looked up in disbelief and pleaded, "Father!"

"Don't call me 'father'," Uncle Jingwen said coldly. "Your own father's house has been ransacked, aren't you going to go find him right now?"

"No, Father, that man is just my cousin. How could he be my father?" the man cried out.

"You are my own father!"

"You bastard!" Uncle Jingwen cursed, "It's all your mother's fault, that shameless scoundrel!"

"If it weren't for you, why would I have neglected my own daughter?"

"I've wronged her all these years. Now that your conspiracy has been exposed, I will never be fooled by you again!"

"Men, drag them all out!"

The servants rushed in and, ignoring the cries and pleas for mercy from those kneeling on the ground, dragged them all out.

Qi Zhiyu watched coldly, her face showing no emotion.

Uncle Jingwen sighed, "Yu'er, I'm sorry you had to see this."

"I truly never expected the Tian family to treat me like this!"

His voice choked with emotion, concealing endless heartache and regret: "I thought she was kind and dignified, but I never imagined she was a ruthless wolf who would devour people without spitting out the bones!"

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly, her gaze finally landing on Jing Wenbo's face: "Lord, your acting... was too clumsy."
