Yao Jinse became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She pointed at Liang Chaozong and laughed strangely, "You only know how to blame them. Why don't you mention your good sister, the lovely Consort Xian?"

"If she wasn't so stupid, she would have been imprisoned just because of the old Imperial Master's nonsense. Would we have needed to go to so much trouble to rearrange the palace?"

When Liang Chaozong heard the words "Empress Xianfei", his whole body stiffened and his expression became even uglier.

However, Yao Jinse kept chattering: "She even ran away and left you, her brother, behind!"

"Hahaha, this is your good sister! I'm afraid she eloped with a strange man?" Yao Jinse looked at Liang Chaozong sarcastically and provocatively.

With a crisp "pa" sound, Liang Chaozong slapped her hard.

"Bitch! You don't deserve to mention her! Shut up!"

"She is a heroine of Daliang, a princess worthy of being recorded in history!"

"She endured humiliation and lurked in Daxia for over twenty years. To restore her country, she willingly gave herself to that bastard emperor."

"Her efforts and contributions to the cause of national restoration are not something a lowly person like you can criticize?" Liang Chaozong gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.

Yao Jinse's hair was beaten so badly that it fell down and covered her face. She slowly brushed her hair away and a trace of blood flowed down the corner of her mouth.

She stared coldly at the man in front of her, feeling chilled to the bone.

Back then, her soul, a modern woman, traveled through time and space to become the thirteen-year-old Li Zhuer, and became the daughter of Zhuangzi's manager.

The depressing living environment and the sarcastic adoptive parents made her feel disappointed.

With the mentality of using modern knowledge to start a brilliant life as a heroine in a fictional era, she resolutely ran away from home.

However, before she could successfully use modern knowledge to earn her first pot of gold, she was sold to the Yao Mansion in Yangzhou by the damn human traffickers.

The Yao family specifically adopted frail young girls, raised them as skinny horses, and later sold them to wealthy men as concubines.

In the Yao family, she was renamed Yao Jinse and forced to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting every day, and practice postures and methods to seduce men.

She spent every day like a year in the Yao family.

The hellish days in the Yao family wore away her ambitions, and she only hoped in her heart that a young man would buy her and that she would not fall into the hands of the old man.

Finally, three years later, she waited for the handsome Liang Chaozong, Master Liang.

He was like a ray of light in her dark life.

She tried her best and used every possible means, and finally succeeded in attracting the attention of Mr. Liang.

Liang Chaozong was attracted by her uniqueness and eventually redeemed her and kept her by his side.

Later, she found out that Mr. Liang’s true identity was actually the prince of a fallen country.

Moreover, Master Liang was planning to restore the country.

After learning this shocking secret, Yao Jinse was not afraid, but ecstatic.

She felt that the opportunity had come. A time-traveling woman like her should have an extraordinary life, and the prince of a fallen country was her chance to start a glorious life as a heroine.

She will definitely be able to use her modern knowledge to assist the crown prince in successfully restoring his country and eventually become the queen, second only to the emperor.

So she did her best to help Liang Chaozong.

She developed soaps, lipsticks, and perfumes, and asked Liang Chaozong to mass-produce them, which sold like hotcakes. Liang Chaozong thus became a leader in the cosmetics industry in southern China.

She made maltose from wheat, and Liang Chaozong used her method to mass-produce it, thereby seizing the sugar market in Daxia.

She purified coarse salt to produce fine salt. Liang Chaozong used this method to purchase large quantities of coarse salt, refining it and selling it as fine salt, which shocked the imperial court. Thanks to his fine salt-making skills, Liang Chaozong became an imperial merchant.

Yao Jinse stayed with Liang Chaozong for more than ten years and assisted him to the best of her ability. In name, she was his wife, but in reality, she was his counselor, his retainer, and his right-hand man.

It was with her help that Liang Chaozong transformed from an ordinary businessman when he first met her into a wealthy businessman in Daxia who was as rich as a country.

Liang Chaozong and she had been together for more than a decade, witnessing the great cause of restoring the country grow stronger and stronger. She thought that in his heart, she was a partner who walked side by side with him, but in recent years, she began to doubt it.

After several missions failed and her great cause was hindered, Liang Chaozong began to speak harshly to her and even beat her.

She began to question her relationship with Liang Chaozong. Was this man more sentimental or exploitative?

What role does she play in this man's heart?

Today, Liang Chaozong's crazy protection of his sister and his indifference to his daughter made her feel even more heartbroken.

The room fell into dead silence. It was Yao Jinse's personal maid Lu He who was really worried about the situation and pushed the door open and rushed in.

"Madam, how are you?" Lu He helped Yao Jinse up and looked at her swollen cheek with heartache.

"Master, the lady is so sad today, how can you bear to hit her!" Lu He's eyes turned red and two lines of tears flowed down.

Liang Chaozong showed a hint of guilt on his face, waved his hand and said: "I was too emotional, I couldn't help it."

"Jinse, Rou'er, I don't want to let her fend for herself. It's just that now is not the right time." Liang Chaozong's voice softened a lot.

He winked at Luhe and asked her to go out first.

"Jinse, the reason I'm so emotional today isn't just because I failed, but because I made another important discovery."

Seeing Liang Chaozong's initiative to surrender, Yao Jinse's expression improved a lot. She covered her face with one hand and asked in a low voice: "Oh? What did you find?"

Liang Chaozong raised his eyebrows slightly: "That is Princess Anguo."

"Before, my sister said that Princess Anguo was a very special child, but I didn't really believe it."

"Later, she repeatedly said that Princess Anguo was special and that there was something strange about her, but I still felt she was making a big deal out of nothing."

"Later, she insisted on spending her energy to harm Princess Anguo, which I couldn't understand even more."

"But until today, after being in close contact with Princess Anguo and hearing her words with my own ears, I believe what my sister said."

Yao Jinse frowned slightly, her eyes deep, as if responding, "That child does seem unusual."

"Her conversation and thinking are far superior to those of children of the same age."

"Even the Eighth Prince, who is clearly over five years old."

"Even compared to eight-year-old Rou'er, she's on par with him."

"Could it be that the child is just precocious?"

Liang Chaozong sighed and said, "If only she were just precocious, it would be fine."

"But as I recall the past, it seems that ever since she was born, our progress has been repeatedly frustrated."

"But looking at Xia Zhengqi, Xiao Ruoyu, the Crown Prince and the others, it seems that everything went smoothly after she was born."

"Especially Xiao Ruoyu. She was tortured so miserably by your biological mother and Concubine Jiang. But since she was born, she has easily turned the tables."

"Putting all this together, could it be that this child has some extraordinary background? Will he have some kind of influence on those around him?"
