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

"Yu'er knows how to manage a household well," Prince Rui said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately attracted the attention of the Qi Jingchen and Qi Jingxi brothers.

Is their sister's behavior considered thrifty?

Is his father's vocabulary really that limited?

"What are you looking at?" Prince Rui raised his hand and slapped each of them.

Qi Jingchen covered his head, shocked.

He got beaten up!

Qi Jingxi chuckled, "Big brother, you got hit too... Ouch! Brother, why did you hit me?"

"Serves you right for gloating!" Qi Jingchen withdrew his hand, feeling somewhat relieved.

"You two keep a close eye on her. Once Yu'er leaves Da Rui, you must make sure that the King of Wu and the Marquis of Guangping suffer!" the Prince of Rui said coldly.

Throwing dirty water on his daughter, does he really think he has no temper?

Qi Jingchen and Qi Jingxi immediately replied, "Yes!"

Sure enough, in the following two days, wherever Qi Zhiyu went, trouble would follow her.

It could be a fire, a collapse, or at worst, an accident.

Although no one died, some people were injured.

Suddenly, the rumors and gossip outside intensified.

At first, I didn't believe that Qi Zhiyu was a prodigy, but now I'm starting to waver.

At that moment, Qi Zhiyu went to a place—the library.

The library did not belong to the imperial court, but was run by a once-declining aristocratic family.

Although the aristocratic family has declined, the rare books they collected over the generations have still been preserved.

Many of these are rare copies, even those not owned by royalty.

At the time, all I could do was borrow it to make a copy.

As soon as Qi Zhiyu stepped into the library, the shop assistant's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly went to greet her: "This humble subject greets the Princess."

Qi Zhiyu nodded slightly and was about to go inside when she found the waiter blocking her way.

Qi Zhiyu didn't speak, she just looked at the waiter.

The waiter, sweat beading on his forehead, stammered, "Princess, my...our master is coming right away."

Qi Zhiyu laughed: "Open for business, but not letting people in?"

"No, no..." the waiter waved his hands repeatedly.

"The princess is an honored guest, so our boss must personally receive her," the waiter hurriedly explained.

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhiyu laughed and said, "We're just here to select books from the library; there's no need for your owner to come over."

"Yes, I want it!" the waiter called out anxiously.

After he shouted that, he realized he had overreacted, so he forced a smile and said, "The princess has arrived, so our master naturally has to personally receive her."

"Moreover, there are many rare books in the library, and only our owner has the authority to access them."

Qi Zhiyu nodded in satisfaction.

The owner of the library hadn't arrived yet, but the guests inside all looked rather grim.

They had heard about everything that had happened in the capital recently.

Wherever Qi Zhiyu goes, misfortune follows.

Other places are fine; at most, we'll just lose some money.

But this is a library.

These rare and unique copies are treasures that should be passed down from generation to generation.

"Princess," Fu Xinyu, who was inside the shop, stepped forward and curtsied to Qi Zhiyu, "Is there any book the Princess wishes to buy?"

"I do have some books in my family. If Your Highness is interested, I can send them to Prince Rui's residence."

Qi Zhiyu glanced at Fu Xinyu and asked, "I can buy it, why do I need you to deliver it?"

"You...are you trying to bribe me to curry favor?"

"Aren't you Qi Jinghong's unmarried concubine? Shouldn't you be trying to please the Wu King's family?"

Fu Xin gritted her teeth. She would be a concubine in the future, but she would be a good concubine, a noble concubine!

Did Qi Zhiyu really have to say that in public?

Qi Zhiyu looked at her strangely: "Are you angry? Why?"

"You're trying to win me over, and I won't accept it?"

Qi Zhiyu felt very wronged: "Does refusing gifts offend people? Why is it so hard to be a person?"

The maid behind Qi Zhiyu bit her lower lip hard to keep from laughing.

The princess's words are really... infuriating.

"Your Highness has misunderstood. I am not angry," Fu Xinyu explained, suppressing her anger.

Qi Zhiyu understood: "Ah, you were born with a mournful face... Hey, with that pained look on your face... Won't the Wu Prince's Mansion find it taboo?"

Fu Xinyu clenched her fists and trembled all over.

Who looks so miserable?

"Oh, it's alright. You're just a concubine anyway, so it shouldn't be a big problem," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile. "However, it's clear that Qi Jinghong truly loves you."

"Even though your appearance isn't great, he still took you in. That's pretty good!"

Fu Xinyu felt dizzy and her body swayed as if she were about to collapse.

"Princess." Ji Qiuyu, who had been hiding in the crowd outside the door, finally couldn't help but come over.

She didn't like Fu Xinyu, but Fu Xinyu was still Qi Jinghong's concubine who hadn't yet entered the family, and they would be family in the future.

If Fu Xinyu loses face, then the Wu Prince's Mansion loses face; if the Wu Prince's Mansion loses face, then Ji Qiuyu loses face.

"Miss Fu was merely trying to share with the Princess out of kindness," Ji Qiuyu said in a deep voice. "Why must the Princess be so aggressive?"

Qi Zhiyu exclaimed in surprise, "You guys are really strange."

"I was just browsing books, planning to buy a few to take home. Suddenly someone popped up wanting to give me books, and I only chatted with her casually for a few minutes, and now you're saying I'm being aggressive."

"What have I done to offend you?"

"Is it so easy to ruin someone's reputation these days? First, they stir up trouble, then they throw mud at them, and the person involved hasn't done anything, yet their reputation is ruined like this?"

"I know you're all in cahoots with the King of Wu, and your family is our enemy, but that doesn't mean you can bully us like this!"

The strange looks from those around her made Ji Qiuyu's face look particularly unpleasant.

Qi Zhiyu is indeed a difficult person to deal with.

"Princess, are you unaware of what has happened during this time?" Ji Qiuyu bluntly stated.

"Wherever you go, trouble will follow."

"Other places are one thing, but this library is a very important place."

"Among them are many rare books that need to be carefully passed down through generations. If something were to happen to the princess because of this, could she bear the responsibility?"

"That's ridiculous," Qi Zhiyu scoffed. "Accidents happen every day. Just because I've been to a certain place doesn't mean that an accident there is my fault?"

"Where's the evidence?" Qi Zhiyu sneered. "Prove that the accident is related to me, or else..."

"Fire!" A terrified shout suddenly came from upstairs.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.

"What a huge fire!"

"Oh no, it's a rare copy inside!"

"Oh my god! Fire! Help!"

Everyone rushed over to fetch water and put out the fire.

However, the fire in the library was particularly strange; it started upstairs and the fire was exceptionally large.

Qi Zhiyu had long since retreated outside the library, looking at the raging fire with a mocking and cold gaze in her eyes.

Ji Qiuyu's gaze shifted from the billowing black smoke of the fire to Qi Zhiyu.

evidence?

Evidence may be needed at other times.

But what evidence is needed to incite public outrage?

This time, Qi Zhiyu is doomed!
