Qi Zhiyu didn't care what Emperor Kangwu and the others discussed; all she knew was that she was annoyed.

"Chen'an, please, I beg you... she can't become a nun!" Princess Wu knelt on the ground, crying and pleading.

She was crying genuinely; her rouge was all smeared on her face, making her look extremely disheveled.

It's clear that she really can't bear to part with Qi Rongyao.

Also.

What mother could accept her perfectly good daughter having to have her hair cut off and become a nun?

"Help Princess Wu up," Princess Rui ordered.

The old women nearby immediately came over, and the two of them grabbed Princess Wu's arms and pulled her up from the ground.

Princess Rui stared coldly at Princess Wu: "As for your daughter's matter, it was only because His Majesty showed extraordinary mercy that she was spared her life."

"If it were according to the King of Wu's wishes, your daughter would have been killed long ago with a white silk ribbon."

"I know, I know..." Princess Wu cried, "Your Majesty is merciful."

"I just wanted to plead with the princess; she has influence with His Majesty..."

"Absurd!" Princess Rui shouted angrily.

"Your daughter spread rumors and tried to ruin my daughter. Now you have the nerve to ask my daughter to plead for Qi Rongyao?"

"Your daughter is a treasure, but my daughter isn't worthless either!"

"My daughter has parents, a loving family, and she's not someone anyone can bully!"

Princess Wu was stunned by the scolding.

Qi Zhiyu's eyes curved into a smile with delight.

Princess Wu sobbed, "Your Highness, Princess, I beg you... my daughter cannot become a nun!"

"They're utterly stubborn!" Princess Rui exclaimed, her face turning ashen with anger.

She had finally found her daughter, and she was already spoiling her rotten. How could she let anyone bully her?

"Guards, take her back to Prince Wu's residence!" Princess Rui was truly enraged.

The old woman pulled Princess Wu outside.

Qi Zhiyu followed behind Princess Rui like a well-behaved child; this feeling of being protected... was quite wonderful.

When Princess Rui's carriage arrived at the gate of Prince Wu's residence, she immediately ordered, "Break down the gate!"

The guards of Prince Rui's residence received the order and rushed over to ram the object.

Such a commotion immediately attracted the attention of the people watching from afar.

What's wrong?

The King of Wu and the King of Rui have started fighting?

The gates of the Wu King's palace were slammed shut, and the Wu King immediately received the news and rushed forward.

When he reached the front yard, just as he was about to reach the main gate, the gate was suddenly smashed open with a loud thud.

The King of Wu turned green with rage.

King Wu strode out, looked at the carriage of Prince Rui's residence parked at the gate, and scolded, "What is Prince Rui's residence doing?"

"Does he really think my Wu King's mansion has no one to rely on?"

Princess Rui stepped down from the carriage and glared coldly at Prince Wu: "Prince Wu, your daughter Qi Rongyao is spreading rumors and slandering my daughter."

"Your Majesty is wise and skillful. You have meticulously investigated the matter, uncovered the truth, and cleared my daughter's name."

"His Majesty spared your daughter's life, yet your princess still dared to cause a scene at my Prince Rui's residence!"

"Our Prince Rui's Mansion is kind to others, but we will not allow ourselves to be bullied!"

Qi Zhiyu blinked twice; her mother was quite eloquent.

It quickly explained the cause and effect of the matter, and also highlighted the kindness of the Prince Rui's Mansion, as well as their desperation to break down the door.

The King of Wu was furious. In the eyes of Princess Rui, their Wu Royal Palace had become an unpardonable sinner.

Following Princess Rui's words, a servant from Prince Rui's residence pulled Princess Wu out of a carriage at the back.

Princess Wu wept bitterly: "Princess Rui, sister-in-law, you are also a mother, please understand me. If my daughter becomes a nun, her life will be ruined."

Princess Rui sneered, "I've never seen such a shameless person!"

"Perpetrators, make the victims forgive you!"

"What? Do victims deserve to die?"

"When you did bad things, did you never think that one day the truth would come out and you would be punished?"

The Queen of Wu cried incessantly, "I know my daughter made a mistake. But please, give her a chance, she will change."

Princess Rui sneered, "What does it matter to me whether she changes or not?"

"Give her a chance?"

"When she harmed my daughter and spread rumors that she had forcibly taken a man home, did she ever think about giving my daughter a chance?"

"If the truth hadn't been found out, my daughter would have been ruined by her long ago!"

"If you utter another word, I will go to the palace and request an audience with His Majesty, so that he can judge this matter!"

"When did it become possible to do something wrong without being punished, and simply apologize?"

"If that's the case, then what's the point of having laws?"

Princess Wu shook her head repeatedly: "That's not how it is, the child is still young... she doesn't understand..."

"She's being immature; it's your parents' fault for not teaching her properly. Why are you blaming us for your mistakes?" Princess Rui rebuked angrily.

"If that's the case, I could find a child and have them kill your entire family, and then it would all be as if nothing happened?"

"Or is it that...King Wu, you consider yourself superior, and the laws of Da Rui and His Majesty's decrees are completely useless to you?"

The King of Wu's expression changed, and he coldly ordered, "Take the Queen back!"

The maids from the Wu Prince's residence rushed over and pulled Princess Wu inside.

Princess Wu naturally refused, struggling incessantly: "Sister-in-law, please, please..."

Princess Rui stared coldly at Prince Wu: "Prince Wu, after harming my daughter, how dare you ask us to plead for you?"

"I, the Queen Consort, have truly learned a lot about the ways King Wu has taken!"

"Let's go back to the manor!" Princess Rui said, then got into the carriage and left.

King Wu was so angry that he felt a sharp pain in his chest and his vision went black.

"Your Highness!" a servant from the Prince of Wu's residence cried out in fright.

The area in front of the Prince of Wu's mansion was in complete chaos, but it did not hinder Princess Rui's steps in the slightest.

Princess Rui and Qi Zhiyu boarded a carriage and returned to the mansion.

"What are you grinning about?" Princess Rui asked, amused, as she looked at Qi Zhiyu, who was laughing incessantly.

Qi Zhiyu shrugged: "I just want to laugh."

She's always been a lone wolf, but now that she's in this world... she has a family who will protect her.

"Silly girl." Princess Rui reached out and pinched her daughter's chubby cheeks.

Although she has reached the age of marriage, the chubby cheeks on her face haven't completely disappeared.

Especially when she smiles, her eyes sparkle, she looks so adorable that I couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch them twice.

"Mother, I can actually handle it," Qi Zhiyu said.

Princess Rui glared at her: "It's fine if I'm not in the manor, but if I am, I can handle it. Do I need you to step in?"

"If I can't handle it, you go ahead. It's a small matter, I can manage."

"Mother knows you are very capable, but no matter how capable you are, you are still my child."

"Mmm." Qi Zhiyu nodded happily and vigorously.

She also has parents, brothers, and family!
