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

A bad feeling instantly welled up in Jiang Shuyi's heart.

Before she could think about it carefully, she suddenly felt a pain in her chest.

Jiang Shuyi was still in a daze when she was kicked away.

In the blink of an eye, her back hit something, her internal organs jolted violently, and then she fell heavily to the ground.

Even now, Jiang Shuyi was still in a daze.

She just stared blankly as Qi Zhiyu got up and walked towards her step by step.

Qi Zhiyu was dressed in an exquisite silk dress, yet she exuded a terrifying aura of war and conquest.

Every step Qi Zhiyu took felt like it was stepping on her heart, causing Jiang Shuyi's heart to race and her breathing to quicken.

"Ugh..." Jiang Shuyi cried out in pain.

I felt varying degrees of pain in my back, chest, and the areas where I hit my head upon landing.

She felt like she was about to fall apart.

Every part of my body was screaming in pain.

With such a commotion, not only the guests in the private rooms next door, but also the diners in the lobby on the first floor subconsciously looked up.

"Miss!" Jiang Shuyi's maid exclaimed and rushed over.

"Quick, go and call the doctor!" The maid saw her mistress sweating profusely from the pain and hurriedly called to the other maids.

The young lady's condition was unclear, so they dared not move her carelessly, for fear of causing her further injury.

"Princess, why are you like this?" Jiang Shuyi asked, enduring the pain and confusion.

"Miss Jiang, you came to my private room and started lecturing me, as if I made Qi Rongyao suffer..." Qi Zhiyu asked curiously.

"By what right do you dare to criticize me?"

Jiang Shuyi shook her head: "Your Highness has misunderstood. It was not I who was criticizing you, but rather offering advice."

"The princess and Qi Rongyao are cousins, why must they be made to be at odds?"

"Moreover, Qi Rongyao is still young."

"If Your Highness doesn't like what I'm saying, then next time... I simply won't say it."

Jiang Shuyi lowered her head and said humbly, "It was my fault for speaking out of turn."

People around peeked out curiously.

They had all heard about what had just happened at the rouge shop.

Qi Rongyao was certainly wrong, but what Jiang Shuyi said seemed to be correct as well.

Qi Rongyao is only twelve.

She is also Qi Zhiyu's cousin.

It's normal for Qi Zhiyu to be more tolerant.

Qi Zhiyu smiled and said, "Jiang Shuyi, firstly, I am the Princess Chen'an, personally bestowed by His Majesty."

"You come up to me and criticize me; that's insubordination."

Jiang Shuyi was shocked; she hadn't expected Qi Zhiyu to escalate the matter to this extent.

Doesn't Qi Zhiyu care about her reputation?

Why does everything have to be attributed to insubordination instead of Qi Zhiyu reflecting on whether she herself is tolerant?

"Secondly, Qi Rongyao snatched what I wanted first, and I was just stating the facts... So let me ask you this: how am I supposed to tolerate her?"

"As you said, she and I are cousins. Should I then condone her abusive behavior and bully others with impunity?"

"Or should we just let her take what she wants by force?"

The surrounding crowd was shocked. Yes, the princess was right to do so.

If the princess doesn't intervene, Qi Rongyao, who hasn't been properly taught by the King of Wu, will definitely become even more unruly.

In the end, those who are inferior to Qi Rongyao in status and position will be the ones who suffer.

Princess Chen'an is standing up for them!

Princess Chen'an used to live in the countryside.

She must have been taught to think this way by Prince Rui and Princess Rui!

Princess Chen'an has only been back for a few months, yet she already has such awareness. In contrast, Qi Rongyao, who has always grown up in the royal family... the difference in family values ​​between Prince Rui and Prince Wu is truly stark!

Jiang Shuyi clearly sensed that the people around her were looking at her differently.

She nervously tried to retort, but then heard Qi Zhiyu ask, "Jiang Shuyi, I'm just curious, did you come to see me today, or was it your grandfather, the Duke of Wei's, idea?"

Jiang Shuyi's expression froze, unsure how to respond.

Because she already knew the trap Qi Zhiyu was setting in her words.

If that's what her grandfather meant, then it means that he only cared about the King of Wu and not the people.

If she acted on her own initiative, it means... she's a muddle-headed person who can't distinguish right from wrong!

As Jiang Shuyi was pondering how to respond, she heard Qi Zhiyu chuckle and say, "Fine, I understand why you feel this way."

Jiang Shuyi's expression changed drastically, and she almost shouted, "No, you don't understand!"

Because she had a premonition that Qi Zhiyu's understanding was definitely not a good thing.

It will only push her into an even deeper abyss, where she will never recover!

"I understand the relationship between the former Marquis of Weiyuan and the King of Wu, and your relationship with the former Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion. I understand everything." Qi Zhiyu nodded understandingly.

Everyone suddenly realized, "Oh, I see."

Jiang Shuyi is doing this for her future husband's family.

Jiang Shuyi gritted her teeth in anger.

Is Qi Zhiyu determined to ruin her reputation before he's satisfied?

To Jiang Shuyi's surprise, Qi Zhiyu's next words plunged her into an icy abyss: "It seems that for his own benefit, the Duke of Wei can ignore the truth and distort the facts."

"Duke of Wei... you hold military power. When the time comes, will those soldiers truly protect the country and its people, or will they turn against you for personal gain, becoming your executioners to achieve your goals?"

Everyone: "!!!"

Jiang Shuyi: "!!!"

"Princess Chen'an!" Jiang Shuyi cried out urgently, "My grandfather would never have such a thought."

"Really?" Qi Zhiyu chuckled. "It hasn't happened yet, who knows?"

She leisurely looked at Jiang Shuyi, who looked as if she were being roasted over a fire: "After all, you are the Duke of Wei's most proud granddaughter."

"Your thoughts are...right, right?"

As soon as Qi Zhiyu spoke, everyone turned to look at Jiang Shuyi.

Those gazes, like knives, pierced Jiang Shuyi's body, leaving her riddled with wounds.

puff……

Jiang Shuyi was so angry that she coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Qi Zhiyu was astonished: "This is...out of embarrassment and anger?"

"Looks like I guessed right."

Jiang Shuyi had almost fainted when her vision went black, but upon hearing Qi Zhiyu's words, she forced herself to regain her senses.

"Princess, you..." Jiang Shuyi tried to explain.

"Alright, Miss Jiang, that's enough," Qi Zhiyu interrupted Jiang Shuyi. "The doctor your maidservant invited has arrived."

"You should let the doctor check your injuries first."

"After all, you are the Duke of Wei's most cherished and proudest granddaughter."

"If anything were to happen to you, the Duke would be heartbroken."

Everyone understood.

Jiang Shuyi held such a high position in the Duke of Wei's heart, which must mean that the Duke of Wei was very satisfied with her.

In other words... Princess Chen'an was right about everything.

In order to get everything he wanted, the Duke of Wei would not hesitate to wield his sword against anyone who stood in his way, regardless of whether those people were innocent or not.

Jiang Shuyi wanted to retort, but her chest was churning with anger and blood, and she couldn't hold back, spitting out another mouthful of blood.

Weakened, she watched helplessly as Qi Zhiyu gracefully turned and went downstairs with a smile on her face.

And she... no, not just her, but the reputation of their Duke of Wei's mansion plummeted!
