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

Uncle Jingwen froze, looking at her with utter bewilderment: "Yu'er, what are you talking about?"

Qi Zhiyu slowly toyed with the teacup in her hand: "Lord, we're all smart people, why are you still pretending? Is that really necessary?"

Jing Wenbo stared nervously at Qi Zhiyu.

Qi Zhiyu laughed and said, "You know in your heart whether your son is your biological child or not."

"But, in order to protect your future, you chose to sacrifice him and curry favor with us."

"Yu'er, what are you saying?" Uncle Jingwen tried his best to laugh to lighten the mood.

Unfortunately, he failed under Qi Zhiyu's all-knowing gaze.

His smile was extremely stiff and eerie, even uglier than crying.

"You know in your heart that this poison was given to you by the King of Wu through the Tian family," Qi Zhiyu said slowly.

"You know, in the King of Wu's heart, you are already a dead man."

"If you want to live, you have no choice but to stay on our side."

"Therefore, you must completely suppress the Tian family."

"As for the mistreatment my mother suffered in your household before she got married, you are trying to pin it all on the Tian family."

"So, for your own sake, you abandoned your most beloved son without hesitation."

Jing Wenbo remained silent and did not speak.

What else could he say?

"Don't worry, I won't let you die," Qi Zhiyu reassured Uncle Jingwen.

"Someone has to avenge my mother."

Uncle Jing nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes..."

"She cheated on me and did all sorts of wicked things, so naturally I'll torture her properly!"

Qi Zhiyu shook her head in disapproval: "That's not how you talk."

"How can it be torture?"

"The main problem is that Tian didn't serve you well, and her desire to atone wasn't sincere. You should teach her a lesson."

Uncle Jingwen repeatedly agreed, "That's right, that's right, Yu'er, you're absolutely right."

"Look how senile I am, I can't even speak properly."

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly and said, "My lord, your health is not good, and my mother is very worried about you."

"Too much worry prevented me from coming."

"Ah, tell her not to worry, and to take good care of herself," Uncle Jingwen hurriedly said.

"My mother is a very filial daughter. Since she couldn't come, she naturally asked me to bring gifts to visit her." Qi Zhiyu finished speaking and clapped her hands.

The maids and servants waiting outside immediately brought in the brocade box.

Looking at these brocade boxes, Jing Wenbo felt secretly pleased.

See, he said he made the right choice.

The King of Wu wanted him dead, so his only chance of survival was to seek refuge with the King of Rui.

Moreover, his daughter Tang Ya Hui is very soft-hearted. As long as his daughter is around, Prince Rui will take good care of him out of consideration for Hui'er.

He's so smart!

I wonder what they sent him.

If the Prince Rui's mansion is involved, it must be something good!

As soon as the brocade boxes were opened, Jing Wenbo's expectant and smug expression froze on his face.

Jing Wenbo rubbed his eyes, unwilling to give up.

But no matter how he looked at it, all he saw was an empty brocade box.

There was nothing inside.

"This, this..." Uncle Jingwen looked at Qi Zhiyu and pointed incredulously at the brocade box.

Qi Zhiyu was quite puzzled: "Lord, what's wrong?"

What's wrong with that?

That's really inappropriate!

If it weren't for the circumstances, Jing Wenbo would have wanted to curse out loud.

When giving him a gift, they would bring over an empty brocade box.

Are you kidding him?

"Yu'er, these brocade boxes... are empty," Uncle Jingwen stated the facts dryly.

Qi Zhiyu was shocked: "Lord, look again carefully, how can these brocade boxes be empty?"

Jing Wenbo was certain that the poison he had been given had not yet affected his eyes or brain.

Those brocade boxes were indeed empty.

Qi Zhiyu, still unable to discern Jingwenbo's true nature, sighed heavily, "Lord, you have truly disappointed me."

Jing Wenbo looked at Qi Zhiyu blankly.

Qi Zhiyu said with heartache, "Can't you see that the brocade box contains my family's deepest respect, love, and care for you?"

"That's our heartfelt wish!"

Jing Wenbo: "..."

To hell with his feelings!

It was clearly an empty brocade box, yet Qi Zhiyu made it sound so fancy!

What about the face?

Where is her face?

How did she manage to look at him with such utter disappointment without even blushing or panting?

It makes it seem like he's done something wrong to her!

He was truly amazed; it was the first time he had ever seen a gift given like this!

He really learned a lot!

After Qi Zhiyu finished speaking, she looked at Jing Wenbo with a smile and asked slowly and deliberately, "Lord, can't you really feel it?"

Jing Wenbo: "...I felt it."

"I...I'm so touched."

Every word he uttered was forced out from between his teeth.

He's really swallowing his pride and suffering right now!

He wanted to live, so he had to accept the empty brocade box that Qi Zhiyu had given him, and he had to accept it with great joy.

"It's good that Lord Bo can feel our sincerity." Qi Zhiyu seemed relieved.

"By the way, my maternal grandmother used to own a few shops, but the Earl didn't give them to my mother."

Jing Wenbo's face stiffened, but he quickly said, "I'll give you the deed right now."

"Hmm." Qi Zhiyu nodded in satisfaction.

"Oh, right," Qi Zhiyu said, taking out a prescription. "This is a prescription that can alleviate your poisoning."

"Your Excellency can get the medicine according to this prescription."

Jing Wenbo's eyes lit up: "I... I can get better? I won't be bedridden anymore?"

Qi Zhiyu shook her head: "Of course not."

"However, this prescription can prolong your life, my lord."

"It won't cause your body to break down quickly due to the damage from the poison."

"Of course, if you don't want it, you don't have to."

Qi Zhiyu was about to take back the prescription when she said that.

Jing Wenbo immediately reached out his hand: "No, I really need it!"

Why would he choose to die if he could live longer?

Even if he is paralyzed, there will be someone to take care of him.

He didn't want to die!

Qi Zhiyu handed him the prescription, then stood up: "Lord, I won't stay any longer."

"My mother is still not feeling well, I need to go back to take care of her."

At this moment, Uncle Jingwen was quite tactful: "Your mother is not feeling well. I have some tonics here. Take them to your mother."

So, the empty brocade boxes that Qi Zhiyu brought were exchanged for several heavy boxes in return.

Even more so, Earl Jingwen personally escorted Qi Zhiyu out of the mansion.

Upon arriving at the mansion gate, Earl Jingwen stood by the carriage and carefully instructed, "Tell your mother to take good care of herself and not to harm her health by worrying about me."

"I know your mother is filial, and you are all filial."

"It's hateful that I've been deceived by evil people all these years and mistreated your mother."

"Your mother doesn't blame me, and she still thinks about me all the time... I... I feel sorry for her."

"You don't need to come see me all the time, just be well."

Qi Zhiyu replied from inside the carriage, "Don't worry, I will definitely convey these words."

"Alright, go back quickly." After saying that, Uncle Jingwen took a few steps back and watched Qi Zhiyu's carriage leave.

Qi Zhiyu sat in the carriage and opened the curtain of the carriage window a crack.

Her gaze swept over the eyes of some of the people on the street, and a mocking sneer appeared on her lips.

Do you still want to spread rumors that her mother is unfilial?

Jingwenbo himself admitted that his mother was filial, so what else could they say?

She likes to nip these kinds of small things in the bud.
