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

As soon as Qi Zhiyu finished speaking, Qi Rongyao rolled her eyes in anger and fell backward.

Princess Wu was so frightened that she rushed over.

The maid had already caught Qi Rongyao before she fell.

Princess Wu checked on her daughter anxiously, and only after confirming that she was alright did she turn around and glare angrily at Qi Zhiyu: "Chen'an, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"Are you trying to drive her to her death?"

Qi Zhiyu chuckled: "Princess Wu's words are truly amusing."

"Why did Qi Rongyao go to the temple to cultivate herself? Wasn't it because she spread rumors about me?"

"She's trying to drive me to my death, what's wrong with wanting her dead?"

"What? Does the Prince of Wu's residence have a penchant for enshrining their enemies?"

"I'm so sorry, I didn't!"

The common people stared at Princess Wu and her entourage with mocking eyes. Although no one spoke, the contemptuous looks from the people made Princess Wu extremely uncomfortable.

Those lowly people actually looked down on her!

What are they anyway?

You despicable thing!

"If it weren't for my grandfather's mercy, and if it weren't for my grandfather's sake, do you think she would still be alive here criticizing me?" Qi Zhiyu sneered.

"It seems that the Wu Prince's Mansion has made it an instinct to take things for granted. I've really learned something new."

Qi Zhiyu instructed, "Go back."

The maid immediately closed the carriage door, and the coachman turned the horse around and drove the carriage away.

Qi Rongyao nestled in Princess Wu's arms, sobbing heartbrokenly.

Princess Wu comforted her with heartache.

They were completely oblivious to the changes in the people's expressions.

Princess Wu finally managed to appease Qi Rongyao, helped her into the carriage, and sent her to her destination.

After settling Qi Rongyao in, Princess Wu gave her several detailed instructions before reluctantly leaving to go home.

When she returned to the Wu King's residence, she was met with the Wu King, whose face was ashen.

Princess Wu felt much better immediately.

The prince still cares about his daughter.

Princess Wu went over and comforted him, "Your Highness, don't worry, I've already made arrangements over there... Ah!"

Princess Wu felt a sudden dizziness, and when she came to her senses, she was already lying on the ground, her cheeks burning with pain.

She...she was beaten?!

"Your Highness..." Princess Wu was aggrieved, shocked, and even more incredulous.

Why did you hit her?

"You escorted her there, so why did you get off the carriage halfway?" King Wu asked coldly, his face grim.

The mention of this filled Princess Wu with anger: "Your Highness, you didn't see it. Those commoners followed the royal carriage from a distance the whole time. They..."

"Following me from a distance, what's it to you?" King Wu interrupted Queen Wu sternly.

"The children feel uncomfortable with them around..." Princess Wu explained with heartache.

King Wu chuckled and said, "Is she upset?"

"Now look what's happened, the entire Prince Wu's residence is uncomfortable now."

Princess Wu stared at him blankly, not understanding what was going on.

"Now, the entire capital knows that the Wu Prince's Mansion is arrogant and unreasonable." The Wu Prince closed his eyes.

"You are truly my good princess!"

I can't help him at all, and I've only caused him trouble!

Princess Wu felt aggrieved: "Your Highness, this is clearly a trap set by Chen An; she's trying to harm us!"

"Yes, it was her scheme. Why did you insist on falling into it?" King Wu asked.

Princess Wu was momentarily stunned by the question. In a moment of impulsiveness, she blurted out without thinking, "Isn't the Prince always being schemed against by her?"

As soon as she spoke, the Queen of Wu realized something was wrong. She tried to explain, but the King of Wu acted even faster.

"Your Highness... um..." Princess Wu cried out in pain as she pulled at the hand that was gripping her neck.

King Wu tightened his grip, watching his Queen Consort roll her eyes in pain before letting out a cold snort and releasing his grip.

Princess Wu fell heavily, clutching her neck and coughing painfully.

"Since Qi Rongyao has already gone to cultivate herself, you should also pray in the Buddhist hall and cultivate your mind." King Wu's words made Queen Wu look up in disbelief.

Is he going to lock her up?

The Prince of Wu said coldly, "It's not that I want to treat you this way. It's just that Qi Zhiyu wants to bring down the Prince of Wu's mansion. If I do nothing, my father will be furious, and I will be in trouble."

"If something happens to me... can you avoid being implicated?"

"I have just had all the servants who were ordered to spread rumors killed. Now I am going to the palace to plead guilty."

"Pack your things and go to the Buddhist hall."

After King Wu finished speaking, he turned and left.

Sitting on the ground, Princess Wu dug her fingers into the earth in resentment, her face full of hatred.

Qi Zhiyu... Is Qi Zhiyu determined to ruin her family and cause her death?

She will absolutely not let her go!

Princess Wu hated Qi Zhiyu to the core.

Princess Rui returned from her business outside and went to Qi Zhiyu's courtyard.

"Mother..." Qi Zhiyu called softly, overjoyed.

Especially when she saw the oil paper package her mother was carrying.

Princess Rui looked at her daughter's big, watery eyes darting around, filled with longing for food, and couldn't help but laugh: "Here you go."

"Mother is the best!" Qi Zhiyu cheered, took the oil paper package, and hugged Princess Rui at the same time.

She doesn't lack these things, but her family came back without informing her and brought her things they liked.

This kind of heartwarming little surprise really touched her.

Anyway, she's happy.

"The King of Wu has already gone to the palace, presumably to apologize," said Princess Rui.

Qi Zhiyu ate until her cheeks were bulging, looking like a little squirrel, which melted Princess Rui's heart completely.

How come her daughter is so cute?

"Be careful he doesn't resort to underhanded tactics," Princess Rui said worriedly.

Qi Zhiyu took a sip of fruit tea, swallowed what was in her mouth, and then casually said, "It's nothing serious."

"Qi Rongyao has been sent away, and Princess Wu has just lost face. Now, the most convenient thing for him to do is to take advantage of Princess Wu."

"The Queen Consort of Wu's family is also powerful, and he just happened to pull them in to deal with us."

Qi Zhiyu's casual attitude surprised Princess Rui: "Yu'er, you went there today just for Princess Wu?"

"Yes, that's right." Qi Zhiyu nodded and said matter-of-factly, "Those two children are the apple of Princess Wu's eye."

"Now that Qi Rongyao has been sent to become a nun, Princess Wu must be extremely resentful."

"How could the King of Wu possibly overlook the power of his father-in-law's family?"

"It takes time for him to find an opportunity himself, so I'll just give him a push."

Princess Rui looked at Qi Zhiyu in disbelief. Just how many steps ahead of others had her daughter seen?

"The Princess Consort of Wu's family has a lot of good stuff. It would be a shame not to bring these over," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

"The thought that all those good things will eventually belong to the King of Wu makes me feel terrible."

"I'll only feel at ease if we take it over as soon as possible and put it under our name."
