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

Tang Jingrou finally understood: "Princess, you planned this all along, were you? You wanted to extort money from us, didn't you?"

Qi Zhiyu felt wronged: "That's really not true."

"I got the inspiration mainly because you were coming to see me."

"Thank you for that."

Qi Zhiyu sighed, "After all, it's rare to see someone willingly give away money!"

Tang Jingrou's vision went black, and she felt a sudden dizziness.

When she came to her senses, she found herself sitting on the ground.

Qi Zhiyu remained seated, not even lifting an eyelid, let alone offering to help her up.

Tang Jingrou glared fiercely at Qi Zhiyu: "Princess, how cruel you are!"

Qi Zhiyu chuckled: "What's our relationship? Isn't it normal for me to be heartless towards you?"

"Next time, don't say such mindless things. It's embarrassing!"

Seeing that this approach was blocked, Tang Jingrou immediately put on a pitiful and sorrowful expression: "Princess, if you ask me to go to the Duke of Wei for money, I will die."

"Hmm." Qi Zhiyu shook her head. "No, you're still Wei Yifeng's mother. For Wei Yifeng's sake, you won't die."

"Even if I don't die, I won't have an easy time." Tang Jingrou shuddered at the thought of making the Duke of Wei pay compensation.

Duke Wei was not one to be soft-hearted.

Not to mention, her life in the Wei family was already difficult enough.

If this incident were to be added to the mix... she was truly terrified.

Qi Zhiyu rested her chin on her hand, looking at her with a puzzled expression: "What does your misfortune have to do with me?"

Tang Jingrou looked at Qi Zhiyu in disbelief.

Qi Zhiyu smiled and said, "All you need to do is give me the money."

"Give me money, and I'll shut up and not reveal your intentions."

"If this deal is a good one."

"Compared to silver, King Wu's reputation is more valuable."

"I need to see Yinzi before this evening. If I don't see her..." Qi Zhiyu smiled at Tang Jingrou, but didn't finish her sentence.

However, Tang Jingrou knew what it was.

Qi Zhiyu tilted her head slightly, reminding her, "Time is of the essence, aren't you going to hurry up and get on with it?"

Tang Jingrou shouted, "I want to see the Prince!"

"My father isn't home," Qi Zhiyu shrugged. "It's broad daylight; he's probably out there busy with court affairs."

"If you want to find my dad, then go ahead and go find him."

Qi Zhiyu didn't care.

Tang Jingrou gave Qi Zhiyu a deep look, then turned and ran out.

She had barely run out when Qi Zhiyu beckoned someone over, gave them a few instructions, and that person immediately rushed out.

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly, got up, and went back to her courtyard.

People in this world are indeed kind; they even rush to give you money.

She had never seen anything like this in the original world.

Tang Jingrou was furious and went straight to find Prince Rui.

Given her current status, it's naturally not easy for her to find out news about Prince Rui.

She could only go home and talk to Jiang Shuyi first.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuyi nearly fainted: "Why did you go to find Qi Zhiyu?"

Is that demon someone they can afford to mess with?

"Never mind that, what are we going to do now?" Tang Jingrou scolded impatiently.

"Go and find out where Prince Rui is."

Qi Zhiyu said no because Qi Zhiyu was a princess.

Jiang Shuyi dared to criticize her, but she is Jiang Shuyi's mother-in-law!

"I'll go ask around." Jiang Shuyi gave Tang Jingrou a reproachful look, thinking that she was more trouble than she was worth.

She's so unlucky to have a mother-in-law like that!

Fortunately, Jiang Shuyi's men returned quickly, and Tang Jingrou learned of Prince Rui's whereabouts and rushed over.

Jiang Shuyi's heart clenched.

Her mother-in-law had better persuade Prince Rui, otherwise...

Jiang Shuyi angrily slammed the teacup on the table onto the ground.

This Wei family is a real pit of fire!

Tang Jingrou actually blocked Prince Rui's carriage.

"Your Highness, please, come out and see me." Tang Jingrou stood in front of the carriage, crying sorrowfully.

Fortunately, it was a small alley and there weren't many passersby.

She had her eye on this, which is why she stopped the carriage.

Prince Rui's guards came to relay the message: "Make way!"

"Our prince is not someone anyone can just see whenever they want."

Tang Jingrou naturally wouldn't give up, and instead called out loudly, "Your Highness, it's me!"

"Have you forgotten how well you used to take care of me?"

"It is all thanks to Your Highness's kindness that I have been able to maintain a respectable position in the Wei family."

"Your Highness, you have no idea how miserable I've been in the Wei family these past few days without your care."

Tang Jingrou sobbed, "Your Highness, do you know how cold Wei Chengjiang is to me?"

"Actually, the person I've always admired is you, Your Highness."

Suddenly, Prince Rui's laughter came from inside the carriage: "Come here."

Tang Jingrou was overjoyed upon hearing this.

She knew that Prince Rui would definitely see her.

After all, only she herself knew how good Prince Rui had been to her.

Some time ago, Prince Rui said that he took care of her entirely because of Princess Rui, but that must have been an excuse.

Prince Rui liked her.

However, Prince Rui denied it at that time because he was concerned about his reputation.

Now that she has confessed her feelings for him, Prince Rui will surely be unable to control his emotions and will definitely help her.

As long as Prince Rui remains as infatuated with her as before, her good days will return.

Tang Jingrou walked happily to the carriage, blushing like a girl experiencing first love, and softly called out, "Your Highness..."

The voice was so gentle it was almost dripping with tenderness.

Even the most hard-hearted person in the world would soften upon hearing this.

"You are in love with me?" Prince Rui asked curiously from inside the carriage.

Tang Jingrou lowered her eyes and smiled gently, her face full of spring-like joy: "Yes."

"Then why did you still marry Wei Chengjiang?" Prince Rui asked, puzzled. "If you were so inclined, you could have easily become my concubine."

Tang Jingrou pursed her lips: "That, that's because... that's because Wei Chengjiang is the Prince of Wu's man. I... I wanted to get information from him to the Prince."

"When Your Highness was in distress, I was worried that the Prince of Wu would harm you, so... that's why I submitted myself to Wei Chengjiang!"

Prince Rui laughed: "Isn't it because you saw me in distress and didn't want to suffer that you married Wei Chengjiang?"

"You say this now because you see that the King of Wu is weak and the Wei family is declining, so you want to find a way out for yourself again."

"Tang Jingrou, your two-faced behavior is utterly shameless."

"Your Highness, no, I truly love you," Tang Jingrou confessed anxiously.

"Is that so?" As Prince Rui spoke, the carriage door was opened.

Tang Jingrou then saw Prince Rui sitting inside, as well as Grand Secretary Zhang, Prince Wu, and... Wei Chengjiang, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
