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

Qi Zhiyu was amused by Qi Rongyao's words.

"Qi Rongyao, buying things costs money. Didn't your family teach you this basic principle?" Qi Zhiyu didn't quite understand.

She couldn't imagine how the King of Wu educated his children.

If the King of Wu is busy, what is the Queen Consort of Wu doing?

Do they think that once they enter the Eastern Palace and become the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, everything will be fine?

It doesn't matter what the child grows up to be like, they'll take care of everything.

Following Qi Zhiyu's words, the other customers in the store began to look at Qi Rongyao with meaningful expressions.

Qi Rongyao then realized what was happening.

If Qi Zhiyu had argued with her at the beginning, it would have been fine for her to say that.

The problem is, Qi Zhiyu didn't argue with her and gave it to her.

She was so focused on making others think that Qi Zhiyu was abusing her power that she didn't even notice how things were developing.

Qi Rongyao cursed Qi Zhiyu to death in her heart.

Qi Zhiyu is truly despicable and shameless!

How dare they plot against her!

Qi Rongyao sneered, "What money do you want? This shop belongs to my family. Why should I spend money?"

She had planned it all along: to reveal her identity as the shop owner when Qi Zhiyu tried to take it from her.

By preventing Qi Zhiyu from buying the rouge, she finally felt a sense of satisfaction.

Unexpectedly, Qi Zhiyu did not do as she had planned.

This put her in a very passive position, and all her plans suddenly fell apart.

Now that you say the shop belongs to her family, it feels like the effect is greatly diminished, and it lacks presence!

Qi Rongyao felt a lump in her throat.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and said, "Shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper immediately ran over, bowing and scraping to Qi Zhiyu: "This humble servant greets the Princess."

"Come, tell your young lady who owns this shop?" Qi Zhiyu looked at Qi Rongyao, gesturing for the shopkeeper to speak.

The shopkeeper hurriedly explained, "Miss, this shop was transferred to Prince Rui's mansion a few days ago."

Qi Rongyao froze, staring at the shopkeeper in disbelief.

"Did you hear that?" Qi Zhiyu said with a smile, "You won't be able to get things for free again."

"Give me the money."

Qi Rongyao gritted her teeth, about to make a move, when she heard Qi Zhiyu ask, "You don't actually want it anymore, do you?"

"Judging from your posture just now, you really liked it."

"What? You like it when it's free, but you don't like it when you have to pay for it?"

"Sigh... Surely the daughter of the King of Wu can't even afford this little bit of silver?"

How could Qi Rongyao be looked down upon by Qi Zhiyu?

She coldly ordered the maid beside her, "Give them the money!"

The young maidservant glared angrily at the shopkeeper, who hadn't spoken earlier, and asked, "How much?"

If he had spoken up sooner, the young lady wouldn't have made such a fool of herself!

Before the shopkeeper could speak, Qi Zhiyu said calmly, "Five thousand taels of silver."

The shopkeeper was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground, creating a dent.

Why is this rouge so expensive?

Five thousand taels?

Robbery?

After a brief moment of shock, Qi Rongyao was also furious: "Princess Chen'an, you did this on purpose!"

"How can this rouge be so expensive?"

"If you think it's too expensive, then don't buy it," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile, looking at Qi Rongyao.

"I think this rouge is quite nice, so I think it should fetch a good price."

"If you insist on buying it, then I have no choice but to reluctantly let you buy it."

"What? You want to buy it but can't afford it?"

"Sigh..." Qi Zhiyu sighed and said understandingly, "I understand."

"Next time, when you buy something, ask the price first. Don't end up wanting something you really want but not being able to afford it..."

"How embarrassing."

Qi Rongyao was so angry that she was trembling all over.

humiliation!

Qi Zhiyu is humiliating her!

She already felt ashamed when her father was deposed as crown prince.

Now she's being mocked by Qi Zhiyu for not even being able to come up with a mere five thousand taels.

If she doesn't buy this box of rouge today, how will she ever have the face to face anyone in the capital again?

"Who says I can't afford it?" Qi Rongyao said stubbornly through gritted teeth. "I just didn't bring that much money with me."

"Have someone come with me to my house to get it!"

"Alright." Qi Zhiyu readily agreed, and pointed to the people around her, "You two, go and follow the Prince of Wu's daughter to the Prince of Wu's mansion to get the silver."

"Yes!" the two guards immediately replied, bowing.

Qi Rongyao felt that something was not quite right, but she couldn't figure it out.

She could only turn around angrily, go out, get into the sedan chair, and go home.

Give the silver to Qi Zhiyu first.

Otherwise, she really can't afford to lose face like this!

And what's wrong with Father? Why didn't he tell Qi Zhiyu before giving her the shop?

If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have embarrassed herself like this.

Qi Rongyao left in a sedan chair. Qi Zhiyu shook her head and sighed, "Is the daughter of the Prince of Wu usually... so arrogant?"

After saying that, she turned around and looked at other things.

However, the customers in the store exchanged some meaningful glances.

Qi Rongyao returned to the Wu Prince's mansion and had the accountant give the silver notes to Qi Zhiyu's guard.

"Look carefully, you won't lose a single penny!" Qi Rongyao said firmly, her face taut.

The guard put the silver notes away, bowed to Qi Rongyao, and turned to leave.

Qi Rongyao was furious: "Why is Qi Zhiyu everywhere?"

She originally intended to publicly humiliate Qi Zhiyu, but in the end, she was the one who lost face.

This is so annoying!

Qi Rongyao threw a huge tantrum in her room, and only calmed down after being persuaded by her maids and servants for a long time.

Then she heard the servants in the courtyard bowing and saying, "Your Highness."

Qi Rongyao's eyes lit up. Her father had arrived!

Her father must have known that she had been wronged outside, and came to comfort her.

Qi Rongyao got up excitedly and walked quickly outside to greet the King of Wu.

But before she even reached the door, the King of Wu stepped inside.

"Father, I... Ah!" Before Qi Rongyao could finish speaking, a slap landed hard on her face.

She was knocked to the ground completely unprepared, her mind still buzzing.

"You bastard!" King Wu cursed angrily.

"Can't you just stay home quietly? Why do you have to go out and cause trouble?"

Qi Rongyao was stunned by the scolding. She didn't care about the burning pain on her cheeks: "Father, I... I didn't do anything."

"I was also bullied by Qi Zhiyu."

As Qi Rongyao spoke, she burst into tears, feeling wronged.

She was mistreated outside, but instead of comforting her, her father beat her. Why is that?

"You've been bullied?" King Wu was furious. "Do you even know what people outside are saying about me?"

He didn't have a good reputation to begin with!

Now it's being criticized again.

"Why didn't you avoid Qi Zhiyu when you encountered her? Why did you have to provoke her?" King Wu couldn't understand.

He was certain that what happened today was not something Qi Zhiyu had done on purpose.

It was entirely his foolish daughter's sudden idea to rush over and hand Qi Zhiyu leverage over her.

He was keeping an eye on the Rui family from the outside, but who would have thought that he would be stabbed in the back by his own daughter!

How could he not be furious?
