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

"Father, we must tell the King of Wu that the evidence was not given to the King of Rui by us." Yan Junyi's face was gloomy.

Marquis Guangping paused, slumped down, and asked, "Do you think the King of Wu will believe that?"

Yan Junyi looked at his father with concern.

In just a few days, his father, who usually appeared much younger than his peers due to his self-cultivation, looked much older.

He knew that his father had been suffering greatly these past few days.

"Father, I know the King of Wu won't believe me," Yan Junyi said helplessly, "but we still have to explain."

"It's no use. King Wu is suspicious by nature. He won't believe it." Marquis Guangping was extremely anxious.

Yan Junyi lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Father, the only plan now is... to play our cards open."

Marquis Guangping looked at him in surprise: "What do you mean by this?"

"Now, all our plans have been disrupted by Prince Rui and his men. Originally, we wanted to let Prince Wu know our value, and at the same time, let him know that we are harmless," Yan Junyi said in a deep voice.

"But now, what the King of Wu sees more than our value is our ambition."

They intended to proceed gradually, but now, the Prince Rui's move has revealed all their hidden talents.

Originally, they should have had a seamless cooperative relationship with the King of Wu.

Now, even if the King of Wu borrows their power, he will still be wary of them.

"Father, the King of Wu has no choice now," Yan Junyi said. "If he doesn't cooperate with us, the King of Wu will be crushed by the King of Rui."

"But..." Marquis Guangping didn't want things to get ugly. "The King of Wu is the one who will sit in that position. Can he endure this humiliation?"

"When the King of Wu ascends the throne, the first family he will settle scores with will be our Yan family."

Yan Junyi laughed, but the smile was sinister, and there was no trace of his usual calm and gentlemanly demeanor.

"Father, you said it yourself, it has to be the King of Wu who ascends the throne."

"If the King of Wu reaches that position but hasn't yet ascended the throne, what if his son has to become emperor?"

Marquis Guangping was taken aback, then his eyes lit up: "Indeed."

"Alright, go and talk to the King of Wu."

The King of Wu was merely a stepping stone for his grandson to rightfully inherit the throne.

Yan Junyi stood up: "Father, don't worry, I will handle this matter."

Yan Junyi went to the Prince of Wu's residence without any attempt to hide it; it was just a normal visit between relatives, nothing to be ashamed of.

As for what they talked about, no one knows.

Qi Jingxi scratched her head curiously: "What do you think they said?"

Qi Jingchen said, "What they said is not important; what is important is that they cooperated."

"They're going to gang up on us."

Qi Jingxi shrugged indifferently: "Just deal with it, my sister's here anyway."

As soon as Qi Jingxi finished speaking, she quickly lowered her head, turned to the side, and jumped backward.

This just happened to avoid the slaps that came from Prince Rui and Qi Jingchen.

Both of them missed their shots.

Qi Jingxi put her hands on her hips and laughed heartily: "I knew it!"

"I predicted your predictions... Ouch!" Qi Jingxi rubbed the back of her head, feeling wronged. "Mom, why did you hit me too?"

"Shouldn't you hit him? All you do is rely on Yu'er. What kind of older brother are you?"

"Mom..." Qi Jingxi said, feeling wronged, "I just think my sister is amazing."

"My sister suggested I just run the errand."

He's not doing nothing, is he?

He also tried his best.

He was self-aware; he knew he was not as capable as his sister.

Why would he want to compete for first place?

Princess Rui glared at her: "Don't you know how to learn something?"

"Can't you be a little more ambitious?"

"You don't expect your sister to live a long life, do you?"

Qi Jingxi said hesitantly, "I think if my dad were to take that position, with my sister around... let's say ten years."

"Within ten years, we can definitely unify the world and usher in a peaceful and prosperous era."

"Besides, I don't think my sister, with her personality, will last ten years at all."

"It takes too long, my sister will find it annoying."

Princess Rui choked, unsure of what to say.

She turned to look at Prince Rui.

She couldn't let this brat shut her up, could she?

Prince Rui's face darkened: "When you become a prince, won't you be required to handle affairs of state?"

"The more you learn and the more you improve, the longer this peaceful and prosperous era can last."

Qi Jingxi: "...Dad, you can always find a reason when you want to teach someone a lesson."

"Let my brother have a few more children," Qi Jingxi said happily.

Qi Jingchen's forehead veins bulged as he cursed, "Why don't you have more children?"

"I'm fine with giving birth, as long as it doesn't tire me out too much," Qi Jingxi said, being easy to talk to.

Prince Rui closed his eyes briefly and reassured Princess Rui, "Fortunately, we have three."

Princess Rui sighed, her head aching.

Qi Jingxi: "?"

Wait, what does this mean?

So he doesn't count?

Qi Jingchen gritted his teeth and asked, "Can't you even think about what tricks they might pull?"

Qi Jingxi shook her head: "I didn't expect that."

His decisiveness made Qi Jingchen silently turn his head: "Mom, I think Dad is right."

Qi Jingxi: "..."

Is it a crime to dislike using your brain?

"Do you want your sister to always be so tired?" Qi Jingchen asked.

Qi Jingxi was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "That despicable Yan family!"

"The Yan family has always maintained a low profile regarding fame and fortune. Although they hold the title of marquis, they are very humble in their dealings with the court and never compete or vie for power."

Qi Jingxi quickly added, "They even show extra care for their tenants."

"Whenever the tenants needed help, they would ask them for assistance."

"His reputation for benevolence is very well-known."

"The key is that they don't compete, fight, or take sides in the government."

For generations, even when it came to marriage, people only considered character, not social status.

"It was during this generation of Marquis Guangping that his daughter married the King of Wu as a concubine."

Even so, both his daughter and grandson still maintain the Yan family's tradition of not competing, not fighting, not comparing, and not being extravagant.

After giving a general account of the Yan family's situation, Qi Jingxi smiled meaningfully: "Ever since they damaged their foundation by giving away a large amount of money back then, through generations of hard work, their wealth is now even greater than before."

"It is said that a family that accumulates good deeds will surely have abundant blessings, and this saying has been proven true in the Yan family."

"Over the years, the branches of the Yan family have been doing business outside, and they've all made quite a bit of money."

"Moreover, they always come up with new ideas or unique secret recipes."

After Qi Jingxi finished speaking, she blinked and asked, "Why are you all staring at me like that?"

Qi Jingchen sighed: "Don't you have a brain?"

"You seem to know quite a bit about the Marquis of Guangping's family."

Qi Jingxi rolled her eyes: "Of course I know this kind of basic information perfectly well!"

"Don't underestimate the information network of a spoiled brat!"
