Qi Yuning heard the whispers and glanced over, but those people didn't dare to say a word.

Qi Yuning looked at the shopkeeper of Yunyi Pavilion and asked, "Where is Lu Baozhu?"

Every time Yunyi Pavilion delivers new fabrics, Lu Baozhu is always the first to arrive.

The shopkeeper of Yunyi Pavilion bowed and said, "My lord, Princess Lu has been confined by Prince Lu."

Qi Yuning didn't feel relieved because Lu Ze put Lu Baozhu under house arrest. With Lu Baozhu under house arrest, she had no place to vent her anger.

"Miss, this is it. Your wedding is coming soon, so you must come here to pick out some good fabrics to make clothes."

When Qi Yuning saw the round-faced girl coming in, she recognized her as the daughter of the Guan family at a glance. She vaguely remembered hearing Lu Ze say on Longhua Mountain that he and the girl from the Guan family were already engaged, and she was the only unmarried daughter of the Guan family.

With all the new and old grudges, Qi Yuning had no reason to look at Guan Zhiyi straight in the eye.

Guan Zhiyi looked at the gorgeously dressed woman in front of her. She didn't recognize her identity, but she felt uncomfortable with her arrogant look.

Qi Yuning picked out a lot of fabrics and said, "Pack all of these fabrics for me. Get rid of any duplicate fabrics. I don't like others wearing the same fabric as me."

The shopkeeper responded repeatedly.

Guan Zhiyi saw Qi Yuning wave her hand and take all the new fabrics, and also disposed of the same style of fabrics that were not worn. She felt distressed and frowned, saying, "It's true that the rich are feasting and drinking, while the poor are freezing to death. How can you be so wasteful, young lady?"

When everyone in Yunyi Pavilion heard Guan Zhiyi's words, they all gasped.

After all, in Shengjing City, no one has ever dared to speak to Qi Yuning like this.

Qi Yuning looked at Guan Zhiyi as if she was an idiot. Jingzhe, who was standing beside him, angrily scolded Guan Zhiyi, "Who do you think you are? How dare you teach my master a lesson?"

The maidservant beside Guan Zhiyi said, "My daughter is the sixth daughter of the Chengyilang family!"

Jingzhe suddenly realized, "It's Guan Chengyilang who became an official in the capital because all his five daughters married into high-ranking families!"

Guan Zhiyi frowned and looked at Qi Yuning, saying: "You...don't look down on others!"

Everyone was mourning for Guan Zhiyi. Qi Yuning didn't even glance at Guan Zhiyi and said to Jingzhe, "Enter the palace."

When Qi Yuning entered the palace, he happened to see Lu Ze at the palace gate, and saw that he was also heading towards the Zichen Palace.

Along the way, Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze with a hint of sympathy in his eyes, sympathizing that he actually had such a fiancée.

Qi Yuning entered the Purple Palace.

Emperor Shi Yuan repeatedly said: "Yu Ning, please don't be polite. I am sorry for you. Yun'er is really an ignorant child. Don't worry, if you don't let him return to secular life, he will never return to secular life in this life!"

Qi Yuning said, "Your Majesty, I am not here today because of Lu Yun, but because the wife-to-be of Lu Shizi called me a dog in public!"

Emperor Shi Yuan was so angry that he picked up the inkstone in front of him and threw it at Lu Ze. This was the first time that Emperor Shi Yuan was angry at Lu Ze, his eldest grandson whom he had doted on since childhood.

Lu Zelian knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty."

Emperor Shi Yuan looked at Lu Ze angrily and said, "My kingdom was founded by Prince Qi. Without the Qi family, I would not be on the throne today, and I would not have your wealth and glory. But you are so good. You allowed your own brother to become a monk, which made Yuning quite a laughing stock. You also allowed your unmarried wife to scold Yuning. How can I face old Prince Qi a hundred years from now..."

Emperor Shi Yuan stopped talking halfway and said, "When did you have a wife? How come I didn't know anything about such a big thing? A woman who speaks nonsense like this cannot be your wife."

Lu Ze said, "She is the sixth daughter of Guan Chengyilang's family. She saved my grandmother in the temple, so my grandmother verbally arranged a marriage between me and her. It was just a verbal agreement, and no ceremony had been held yet. Not many people knew about it yet."

Emperor Shi Yuan frowned and said, "Is Madam Lu getting old and confused? How can the daughter of the Guan family be worthy of you?"

Qi Yuning said, "That Miss Guan Liu is as famous as Master Lu. There is a folk rumor that if you want to marry a wife, you should marry a girl from the Guan family, and if you want to marry a man, you should marry Master Lu. These two are a perfect match made in heaven."

Emperor Shiyuan said: "Mr. Guan has failed to teach his daughter properly, so he should be dismissed and investigated. Miss Guan's words were disrespectful and unfit to be the wife of the Lu family's heir!"

Qi Yuning smiled softly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, but I think Miss Guan Liu is full of foul language and is a perfect match for Mr. Wuyi from the Lu family. Your Majesty, please don't break up this loving couple."

Lu Ze raised his eyes and glanced at Qi Yuning.

Emperor Shiyuan said: "This marriage is not appropriate at all."

Qi Yuning said: "This marriage is very appropriate."

Emperor Shi Yuan did not discuss Lu Ze's marriage with Qi Yuning again, but just kept rewarding Qi Yuning.

Qi Yuning was delighted to receive the jewelry from the palace.

One of them was an exquisitely crafted phoenix crown with gold thread, which was prepared by the Queen for the future Crown Princess. Lu Baozhu had coveted it for a long time but had been unable to obtain it. Now that Qi Yuning had obtained the phoenix crown, she naturally had to show off to Lu Baozhu.

Qi Yuning ignored the obstruction of the princess's mansion's gatekeeper and went all the way to Lu Baozhu's courtyard.

Lu Baozhu threw stones into the lake and said to Qin Yuli, "It's all your fault for coming up with such a bad idea. You told me to ask His Majesty to grant Qi Yuning and Lu Yun a marriage. Now, you've implicated me and put me under house arrest for two months."

Qin Yuli smiled and said, "You don't know how bad Qi Yuning's reputation is now! Teahouses in Shengjing are all making fun of Princess Qi, saying that Princess Qi can't get married."

Lu Baozhu didn't laugh with Qin Yuli, "It was obviously Lu Yun who did the wrong thing, why is he making fun of Qi Yuning?"

Qin Yuli smiled and said, "Haven't you always been at odds with Qi Yuning? Now that Qi Yuning has lost all his reputation, are you unhappy?"

Lu Baozhu frowned and said, "I am happy that she has lost her reputation, but because of this loss of reputation..."

Qin Yuli smiled and said, "Oh, just laugh at Qi Yuning's joke. I'm afraid she will hide in the quilt and cry these days."

Lu Baozhu said: "Alas, my brother is really cruel. He has confined me to my home for two months. I hope my sister-in-law can take better care of my brother when she comes to marry me!"

Qin Yuli dropped the teacup in her hand and said, "What? You have a sister-in-law?"

Lu Baozhu said: "Yes, you will have a cousin's wife, the sixth Miss Guan who has a very good reputation for marrying a girl from the Guan family."

Qin Yuli frowned and asked, "How could this happen?"

Qin Yuli shook her head and said, "Baozhu, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After Qin Yuli left with a flick of her sleeves, she walked out of Lu Baozhu's courtyard and said angrily, "We finally got rid of Qi Yuning, but now there's Guan Zhiyi. Cousin Ze is mine, whoever steals from me will die! No matter if it's Qi Yuning or Guan Zhiyi... whoever steals from me for Cousin Ze, I will never let her have an easy life."

After Qin Yuli and her maid left, Qi Yuning came out from behind a big camphor tree and sorted out the camphor fruits on her body.

Qi Yuning frowned slightly and said, "So she was the one behind this."

Chunfen said beside Qi Yuning: "This Miss Qin is really disgusting. She actually bullied you like this!"

Qi Yuning looked at the nail polish on her fingernails, and found that there was a slight imperfection. She frowned slightly and raised her eyebrows and said, "This princess has thought of a good way to take revenge on the Lu family."

"What's the solution?" Several maids came forward and asked.

Qi Yuning said: "If I want to destroy the Lu family, then I will marry Lu Ze and make life miserable for the Lu family. In this way, I will destroy the entire Lu Mansion to avenge Lu Yun for betraying me!"

"Ah?" The maids around Qi Yuning were all surprised. "Princess, you might as well think about it again. There is no need to sacrifice your life for revenge against the Lu family."

Qi Yuning gently stroked the nail that was missing a piece of color and said, "Lu Ze has always been obsessed with the girl from the Guan family, so I will make him lose his love forever in this life. Qin Yuli plotted against me just because she wanted to marry Lu Ze, but I won't let her do that.

The Lu family dared to do such a thing to me. If I don't make the Lu family's life a mess, I won't be named Qi!"

Lichun knelt in front of Qi Yuning and said, "Princess, please think about it carefully. There is no need to spend your whole life dealing with the Lu family."

Chunfen and several maids followed and said, "Yes, Princess, you should think twice."

Qi Yuning said: "The humiliation that this princess has suffered now must be returned to the Lu family, even if it means sacrificing my entire life."
