Those who wanted to accuse Princess Rui of being unfilial returned empty-handed. Upon receiving the news, King Wu smashed the teacup in his hand.

"Qi Zhiyu! It's Qi Zhiyu again!" King Wu glared fiercely at his trusted confidant.

"Has Qi Zhiyu's situation not been fully investigated yet?"

The confidant broke out in a cold sweat, and helplessly bowed, reporting, "Your Highness, that's all the information we have."

The King of Wu was so angry that he cursed, "You scoundrel!"

"You're telling me that the Qi Zhiyu we know is a village girl who's been bullied and tormented?"

The report from the investigation was written down clearly and plainly.

Qi Zhiyu was treated like a slave by Qi Pingle's family in the village.

I started washing clothes, digging wild vegetables, and gathering pig feed when I was three years old.

The villagers all remembered Qi Zhiyu as a timid girl who only knew how to work, was always silent, and never spoke.

Is the person the villagers are talking about Qi Zhiyu?

This is utterly absurd!

The confidant hesitated for a moment before speaking up, "Your Highness, is it possible... that Qi Zhiyu isn't Qi Zhiyu?"

The King of Wu's gaze sharpened, then he suddenly burst into laughter: "That's right!"

"How could two people with such different personalities be the same person?"

Timid and afraid of trouble?

Which of these four words has anything to do with Qi Zhiyu?

silence?

She not only talks a lot, but she also talks a lot of hurtful things.

Every word he uttered was like a knife, meant to kill!

"But..." the confidant hesitated, "When Qi Zhiyu came back, she looked quite thin and her hands were rough."

During this period, I don't know how the people in Prince Rui's mansion have been taking care of him. In just a few months, he has become a completely different person.

Being beautiful is the least noteworthy thing about Qi Zhiyu.

Qi Zhiyu was even more noble than a princess who was properly raised in the palace.

More importantly, it was her aura.

She showed no trace of being a weak and timid village girl who had suffered hardships in the countryside.

He's even more domineering than a prince!

"That's definitely not right." King Wu smiled, having come up with an idea. "My maternal family should have already informed my nephew."

"He has rendered great service on the battlefield, and we are just waiting for his triumphant return."

"At that time, there might be a chance for a turnaround in the situation of the Marquis of Weiyuan's family."

The Emperor has kept the Marquis of Weiyuan's family imprisoned without taking any action, isn't it because the Marquis of Weiyuan has a good son?

Tang Jingrou's legitimate son was a brave and skilled warrior.

He is a fierce general on the battlefield!

When Marquis Weiyuan ran into trouble, it was a time of intense fighting on the border.

Now, the invasion of foreign enemies has been stopped, and the son of Marquis Weiyuan has played a crucial role.

The King of Wu decided to make proper arrangements.

First, crush Qi Zhiyu.

Things started to get out of control after Qi Zhiyu returned.

Regardless of whether it was all because of Qi Zhiyu, this person absolutely cannot be allowed to live.

The King of Wu already had a plan to get rid of Qi Zhiyu, but he still had to give her what was due.

The King of Wu was heartbroken at the things he gave away, but he was also relieved that Qi Zhiyu, that eyesore, would soon disappear completely.

He felt somewhat better.

The capital has been quite lively lately, with no shortage of topics to talk about.

When Qi Zhiyu arrived at the rouge shop with her maid, she could still hear the chatter of passersby on the street outside.

She listened for a moment and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.

My second brother is really proactive in getting things done.

There's definitely something going on outside about the Jingwen Earl's residence, and my second brother is probably stirring things up behind the scenes.

If Jing Wenbo were to die, it would be too easy for him.

Before her mother got married, she was tormented by the Tian family, and her biological father, Jingwenbo, always pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Now, let Uncle Jingwen experience the pain and despair of being gradually paralyzed in bed after being poisoned.

"This rouge is nice," Qi Zhiyu remarked casually.

The colors are refreshing and pleasing to the eye.

It suits her mother quite well.

"This rouge is out of stock!" A familiar voice made Qi Zhiyu glance over indifferently.

She sensed it as soon as Qi Rongyao came in.

However, she didn't understand why Qi Rongyao had come over.

Qi Rongyao, who had snatched the rouge, saw Qi Zhiyu looking over and immediately raised her chin, staring arrogantly at Qi Zhiyu: "What are you looking at? I said we're out of stock, so we're out of stock!"

Qi Zhiyu not only wasn't angry, but she also laughed and looked Qi Rongyao up and down.

She didn't say a word, but it instantly ignited the anger in Qi Rongyao's heart.

What kind of look was Qi Zhiyu giving?

She looks at me like I'm a child who doesn't know any better.

This extreme and intense humiliation caused Qi Rongyao to explode: "Princess Chen'an, why are you looking at me like that?"

"You wouldn't dare try to steal my rouge, would you, a princess of such high status?"

Qi Zhiyu shook her head with amusement: "If you like it, it's yours."

It's just a box of rouge, is there any need to argue about it?

How ignorant are you? Have you never seen anything good before?

Qi Zhiyu backed down, which only made Qi Rongyao even more furious.

What she thought was a prize she had snatched now felt incredibly hot to the touch.

What she treasured was utterly worthless in Qi Zhiyu's eyes.

This stark contrast made Qi Rongyao clearly notice that the way people around her were looking at her was strange.

She cherishes and is so eager to get what Qi Zhiyu doesn't want... Does that make her inferior to Qi Zhiyu?

"Princess Chen'an, what do you mean?" Qi Rongyao was furious.

Qi Zhiyu laughed when asked, "If you want it, then take it. I won't fight you for it. Why are you asking me what I mean?"

"Then I'll ask you, what do you mean?"

Qi Rongyao was speechless when asked the question, and didn't know what to say.

She always felt that Qi Zhiyu's approach was not right.

In the past, she had only seen disputes among other noble ladies, not like Qi Zhiyu's.

Qi Rongyao felt as if she had punched empty air, but was then countered by an invisible force.

This feeling is so suffocating, so uncomfortable!

I have a bitter pill to swallow!

"This, this is the best box of rouge in the shop, and there's only one box!" Qi Rongyao frowned, emphasizing the uniqueness of the rouge in her hand.

"Okay." Qi Zhiyu nodded. "If you like it, then buy it."

"What are you telling me?"

Qi Rongyao opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

What happened?

No, that's not right!

Under Qi Rongyao's angry, resentful, and bewildered gaze, Qi Zhiyu continued to look at the other cosmetics.

I had never paid attention to these things before, but it's quite interesting to go out and stroll around.

"Princess Chen'an!" Qi Rongyao stamped her foot.

Qi Zhiyu turned her head to look, puzzled.

"I really took it!" Qi Rongyao shook the rouge in her hand.

Qi Zhiyu found it really funny.

At this moment, Qi Rongyao was like a child throwing a tantrum to get the adults' attention.

Even though Qi Rongyao was only twelve years old, she still grew up in the palace.

Can things really be this simple?

That's too low a combat power rating.

"That might not work," Qi Zhiyu shook her head.

Qi Rongyao's eyes lit up, and she immediately accused Qi Zhiyu of something: "Are you planning to use your status as a princess to pressure me into giving you the rouge?"

"Princess Chen'an, you're abusing your power!"
