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

Qi Zhiyu: "..."

She was wrong.

The child born to her second uncle, whom her father approved of, was no ordinary person, even if he was just a child.

"There are many ways to cook it," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile. "I'll have someone send you the recipe later, and you can have your family cook try it out."

"Okay, okay!" Qi Jingxian happily agreed.

Holding up the little rabbit in her arms, she said, "Sister, I will take good care of this one, because it was a gift from you."

"I had someone buy other rabbits to cook and eat."

"Okay." Qi Zhiyu couldn't resist patting the little girl's head; she was adorable.

Qi Zhiyu and the others were having a happy meal, but she didn't eat much.

No matter how delicious it is, it's still vegetarian!

She wanted to save her appetite for another meal at home.

They were quite happy, but the Marquis of Guangping was completely devastated.

With a grim face, he calculated the losses in his home and felt utterly regretful.

If he had known this earlier, he would have collected the profits from those shops in advance.

If he had taken it back earlier, not only would the bribery allegations have been proven true, but he wouldn't have lost any money.

At most, we'll just lose a few of our subordinates.

it's good now.

The person is gone, the profitable shop is gone, and all the money accumulated over the years is gone.

The Marquis of Guangping was filled with regret.

"Father!" Yan Junyi rushed in, "The house has been ransacked."

The Marquis of Guangping suddenly stood up: "What do you mean, confiscate their property?"

His family should not have been exposed.

Even if His Majesty suspects something, there is no substantial evidence.

"The homes of those shopkeepers were raided," Yan Junyi said.

Marquis Guangping glared at him: "What's so strange about that?"

It's perfectly normal for someone to falsely accuse a prince and have their property confiscated.

They weren't killed; their homes were confiscated, and their families were forced to do hard labor—that was considered lenient.

"Their assets in other parts of the capital have also been seized," Yan Junyi said urgently.

"Other assets?" The Marquis of Guangping suddenly realized something was wrong. "What's going on?"

"When the soldiers searched their homes, they didn't find that much silver, but they went to several other places instead," Yan Junyi said with a pained expression.

That's all their money.

"They put the silver in other houses."

"They confessed it themselves?" Marquis Guangping was taken aback.

Is the torture powder used by Qi Zhiyu really that effective?

Can't even keep a single secret?

"I don't know then." Yan Junyi shook his head.

He hadn't found out any information.

Marquis Guangping gritted his teeth: "Forget it, let's not worry about it."

"Anyway, we knew from the beginning that they couldn't be saved."

However... the Marquis of Guangping's heart still ached throbbing.

He thought he would keep some and reduce the losses a bit.

Unexpectedly, those people confessed completely.

"Father, what I'm worried about is..." Yan Junyi was interrupted by the Marquis of Guangping raising his hand before he could finish speaking.

"Even if they confess, it won't help us." The Marquis of Guangping was confident of this. "They have no evidence to prove their connection with us."

"Even if it was passed down from their ancestors, it was passed down from generation to generation."

"We haven't taken a single penny from them all these years."

The Marquis of Guangping is now extremely grateful that he has completely severed ties with those people; otherwise, his manor would have been ruined by this incident.

"Never mind that." Marquis Guangping said dejectedly, supporting his throbbing forehead with his hand.

This time, their family really suffered a huge loss.

How exactly did the King of Wu conduct his business?

The plan was to frame Prince Rui, but what did the King of Wu end up doing?

Those so-called villagers' testimonies are all fake.

King Wu's subsequent actions were all within King Rui's expectations.

Was it really the right choice for him to marry his daughter to that man?

Or perhaps he acted impulsively. Why didn't he hold back and wait for the next generation or a more suitable opportunity to act?

While the Marquis of Guangping was in agony, Qi Jingxi was overjoyed.

He left the Ministry of Personnel and encountered a house raid on the way, so he immediately followed.

Everything that was seized belonged to his family.

"Be careful, it's all packed," Qi Jingxi called out, "Make sure you remember the numbers."

"Second Brother." The familiar voice made Qi Jingxi, who was busy, stop immediately and turn around to look.

"Hey sis, what brings you here?" Qi Jingxi asked happily.

"I went to the temple and ran into my second aunt and the others. I came back and then I ran into you." Qi Zhiyu looked at the people busy in the courtyard.

"They can handle it, why are you worrying about it?"

"I just happened to run into them on my way home after finishing my business," Qi Jingxi chuckled. "I took a look, and I didn't expect these families to be so greedy."

"They have money, but it's all saved up in gold and silver. They don't buy any expensive jewelry or ornaments."

"They only recognize gold and silver."

As Qi Jingxi spoke, she raised an eyebrow at her younger sister.

Why only gold and silver? Do I need to explain?

Other things require time and a process to be monetized.

However, gold and silver, without markings, can be used at any time.

These businessmen are indeed someone's money bag.

It's a pity that the Marquis of Guangping didn't get his hands on the money bag; it all went to them.

"They're definitely cut out for business," Qi Zhiyu said.

"Huh?" Qi Jingxi was surprised. Why was his sister speaking up for these families?

"They need a lot of money to do business. It seems they are hardworking, but unfortunately they have chosen the wrong path," Qi Zhiyu said with a slight smile.

Qi Jingxi slapped her forehead: "That's true."

"Second Brother, let's go back. They won't make a mistake with the numbers," Qi Zhiyu said with a light laugh.

No one in the world can covet her things.

"Okay," Qi Jingxi agreed.

He didn't go back, and rode in a carriage with his sister.

"Sister," Qi Jingxi asked in a low voice from inside the carriage, "Are you deliberately avoiding any connection with the Marquis of Guangping?"

Qi Zhiyu nodded: "Second Brother, if you're going to make a move, do you usually use your trump card right away when you're testing the waters?"

Qi Jingxi's eyes lit up: "The things behind the Marquis of Guangping are even better than these!"

Qi Zhiyu smiled; she knew her second brother was clever.

Qi Jingxi rubbed her hands excitedly: "We really can't contact them. We have to make sure Marquis Guangping is safe and sound."

"Now they have no way to turn back, they can only help the King of Wu down this dark path."

"We must dig up everything that the Marquis of Guangping's family has prepared over generations!"

Qi Zhiyu corrected, "How could it be digging?"

"They clearly offered themselves up."

"They've already delivered it; wouldn't it be too heartless of us to refuse it?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Qi Jingxi nodded in agreement. "It's the accumulation of several generations... They've shown enough sincerity, it wouldn't be right for us not to accept it."
