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

The King of Wu was pleased with his son's insightful observation: "Do you need me to make the arrangements?"

"Father," Qi Jinghong said confidently, "Qi Jingxi is just a good-for-nothing playboy. Dealing with him is a piece of cake."

"Of course, I will not look down on him just because he is incompetent."

Qi Jinghong said earnestly, "I will definitely do my best!"

The King of Wu was extremely pleased: "Excellent!"

"Your father is waiting for good news from you!"

Qi Jinghong immediately cupped his hands in greeting: "I will absolutely not disappoint my father!"

The troubled King Wu finally had something to be pleased about.

No matter how much he wanted to skin Qi Zhiyu alive, he still had to send her the money he owed as compensation.

As evening approached, the entrance to Prince Rui's mansion became bustling with activity, as carriages entered one after another.

In the courtyard, box after box of silver was carried down.

"Go that way, hey, slow down, line up properly, don't rush!" Qi Jingxi grinned and gave the instructions.

The servants carrying the silver were all at a loss for what expression to make.

Who stole it?

They're sending money out; what's there to rob?

Qi Jingxi didn't care what others thought.

Looking at those heavy boxes, he felt an immense sense of satisfaction.

silver!

It's all silver!

"Young Master!" A servant from Prince Rui's residence rushed over. "The Consort De from the palace has sent someone to deliver silver."

Qi Jingxi looked at him with surprise: "Just line up to count and register them when they're delivered. Why are you telling me this?"

The servant of Prince Rui's mansion responded and hurriedly turned and went out again.

Qi Jingxi watched as the person registering wrote down each note carefully, rubbing his hands together excitedly.

Get rich!

It has to be his sister. Look, she just went to the temple and palace for a stroll, and so much silver just flew in on its own.

His sister's ability to make money is something no businessman could ever match.

"Lord Qi!" The little eunuch hurried over.

Qi Jingxi, who was grinning from ear to ear while staring at the ledger, looked up and asked, "What?"

"Lord Qi, this servant was sent by Consort De to deliver silver," the young eunuch said.

Qi Jingxi frowned, looked at the servant in the mansion beside her, and asked, "He barged in, didn't you stop him?"

The servant was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud: "Young master, please calm down. This eunuch said he was from the side of Consort De, and I dared not stop him."

Qi Jingxi's face darkened: "Does being a servant of Consort De give you the right to be so unruly once you come to Prince Rui's residence?"

The young eunuch spoke up unhappily, "Lord Qi, Consort De sent me to deliver silver."

Qi Jingxi frowned: "My ears are fine, I heard it."

"Lord Qi, this is Consort De's money." The little eunuch gritted his teeth.

Does a mere Prince Rui's mansion really dare to accept the Empress's money?

When the Empress asked someone to bring out the silver, she was furious.

They all hated Princess Chen'an to death.

What do those ladies' actions have to do with the Empress?

Even the empress, who was living a peaceful life in the harem, was implicated?

It was all because Princess Chen'an was too arrogant and domineering, dragging the Empress down with her and making the Empress feel annoyed.

He came here to make the people of Prince Rui's mansion think carefully: wouldn't it be too much for them to handle this silver?

What a bunch of unruly guys!

Qi Jingxi narrowed her eyes. Hey, what a temper he has!

"You... um?" Qi Jingxi was about to start cursing when she suddenly stared at the little eunuch and froze.

Then, he watched helplessly as the little eunuch with a bloody hole between his eyebrows fell straight down.

Everyone else in the courtyard turned pale with fright, but Qi Jingxi turned his head sharply, and then he smiled: "Sister!"

Qi Zhiyu strolled over slowly, glancing disdainfully at her second brother: "Second brother, why waste your breath talking to this kind of servant?"

"A mere eunuch dares to cause trouble at Prince Rui's residence. Shouldn't he be killed, or should he be kept alive for the New Year?"

Qi Jingxi shrank back after being scolded, and vowed to be more careful next time.

"Second brother, aren't you an arrogant playboy? How come you let him bark like a dog for so long?" Qi Zhiyu looked at her second brother, not understanding.

Why is my second brother so soft-hearted?

Qi Jingxi silently shed tears.

His playboy persona may be fake, but his sister is a real devil!

A playboy is at most a troublemaker, but doesn't do anything productive.

Even if someone is abusing their power, they'll just smash things up; it's not like some spoiled brat would kill people at the drop of a hat.

After Qi Zhiyu finished speaking, her gaze swept over the many servants who had come to deliver the silver.

The servants were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads and waited obediently for the silver to be counted and registered.

Qi Zhiyu felt her sleeve being tugged, and she turned to look at Qi Jingxi.

Qi Jingxi asked pitifully, "Sis, what should we do?"

Consort De's people.

Qi Zhiyu scoffed, "Someone, prepare the carriage, we're going to the palace."

As she spoke, she pointed to the others who had come from Consort De's palace: "Carry him into the carriage and follow me into the palace."

The men quickly and efficiently lifted it, not daring to delay in the slightest.

They acted swiftly, as if Qi Zhiyu were their master.

"Second Brother, you go about your business. I'm going to the palace," Qi Zhiyu said to Qi Jingxi.

"Sister, what are you doing in the palace?" Qi Jingxi asked worriedly.

The servants who brought the silver all pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.

Could it be that Princess Chen'an went to the palace to apologize to His Majesty?

Or perhaps she could charm His Majesty and ask him to be lenient with her?

After all, no matter what, people from the palace aren't just killed casually.

Qi Zhiyu scoffed disdainfully, "I'm going to find Consort De and demand an explanation!"

"Was it her idea, or this eunuch's own, to come to Prince Rui's residence and act so arrogantly!"

"What? Do you think my Prince Rui's mansion has no one to rely on?"

The servants who brought the silver trembled in fright and quickly and obediently registered and lined up.

Can't afford it!

They're really not to be trifled with!

The people in Consort De's palace were killed without warning.

Killing them wasn't enough; they also wanted to go to the palace to demand an explanation.

This Princess Chen'an... is exceptionally fierce!

After Qi Zhiyu finished speaking, she boarded the prepared carriage and headed straight for the palace.

In the palace, Emperor Kangwu was about to have his evening meal when he suddenly heard that Qi Zhiyu had entered the palace, which startled him.

"What is she doing here?" Emperor Kangwu didn't quite understand.

Didn't you just arrive during the day?

Why are you in the palace again at this hour?

"The princess went straight to Consort De's place," the eunuch reported. "The princess had a cold face and seemed to be in a bad mood."

Emperor Kangwu raised an eyebrow. What's wrong with this girl now?

Emperor Kangwu glanced at the eunuch, who understood and withdrew to inquire about the news.

When Qi Zhiyu arrived at the gate of Consort De's palace, the old women in the courtyard were all startled to see her.

After all, this guy is no pushover.

Why did they suddenly come to their empress's place?

"This servant greets the Princess." The nanny and others hurriedly came over to pay their respects.

"Just let them know that I've brought the person back to Consort De," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile to the nanny.

The old woman was stunned. Give him away?

Who is it for?
