Qi Junlin asked the coachman what was going on outside.

The coachman said, "Reporting to Master Qi, there's a crazy old woman blocking the road outside. I'll chase her away right away!"

Old Madam Qi continued to cry, "Lin'er, please save your grandmother, save the Qi family!"

Qi Junlin opened the car door and saw his grandmother looking disheveled.

He quickly jumped off the carriage, helped his grandmother up, and asked, "Grandmother, what happened?"

Old Madam Qi grabbed Qi Junlin's hand and said anxiously, "Lin'er, hurry! Come with me to the Qi residence! Your father is about to be beaten to death! Hurry, or it will be too late."

Qi Junlin felt a pang of sadness when he saw his once spirited grandmother now pleading with him.

He helped his grandmother up and said, "Grandma, don't worry, I'll go with you to see!"

Madam Qi: "Good, good! My Lin'er is still the most considerate."

Qi Junlin helped Old Madam Qi into the carriage, and they soon arrived at the Qi residence.

Madam Qi instructed the maids to keep quiet, and she led Qi Junlin into the mansion.

Inside the room, Xiao Zhenzhen was still busy packing her belongings.

The man next to him kept urging him, "Stop packing! Just bring a simple meal."

Xiao Zhenzhen: "Okay, okay, it'll be ready soon."

Qi Gaoming pulled Qi Jinlan into the house and said to Xiao Zhenzhen, "Mother, you were looking for us?"

Xiao Zhenzhen said to them sternly, "Hurry up and pack your things, come with your mother!"

Qi Gaoming looked at Xiao Zhenzhen in confusion and said, "Mom, this is our home. We're doing just fine here. Why do we want to leave?"

Qi Jinlan looked at the man beside her and asked, "Who is he?"

Qi Gaoming looked at the man and asked, "Who is he? What is he doing in Father and Mother's room?"

Xiao Zhenzhen said, "Gao Ming, Jin Lan, he is actually your biological father!"

Qi Jinlan and Qi Gaoming looked shocked: What?

With a thud, the door was kicked open.

Xiao Zhenzhen turned around and saw Qi Junlin and Madam Qi standing at the door.

Old Madam Qi pointed at Xiao Zhenzhen and said, "You wretched woman, I never knew you could do such a thing behind the family's back! Lin'er, quickly have them arrested!"

Qi Junlin waved his hand, and a group of guards came in and surrounded Xiao Zhenzhen and the man.

Qi Junlin pointed at them and said, "Take them down!"

"yes!"

A group of guards tightly bound Xiao Zhenzhen and the man with ropes.

Xiao Zhenzhen started crying and screaming: "Let me go! Let us go!"

Madam Qi said angrily, "Letting you go depends on whether my son agrees!"

Qi Jiating was lying in the grass in the backyard, still drunk.

Qi Junlin found him and poured a bucket of cold water on Qi Jiating.

Qi Jiating suddenly woke up with a start. Still angry, he shouted frantically, "Catch them! Don't let them get away!"

Qi Junlin said, "I have already caught them."

Qi Jiating then noticed Qi Junlin beside him. Seeing Qi Junlin, he was overwhelmed with mixed feelings of sorrow and joy, and immediately hugged him, crying, "Lin'er, Dad missed you so much!"

Qi Junlin broke free from his embrace, took a few steps back, and said, "Grandmother sent me. Now that things are done, I'm leaving."

Qi Jia looked at Qi Junlin with reluctance and said, "Lin'er, Father was wrong! It's all Father's fault."

Qi Junlin didn't even turn his head, coldly saying, "It's too late to talk about this now. You should take care of your family matters soon!"

Qi Jiating watched Qi Junlin leave before remembering to run to the front yard.

In the courtyard, Xiao Zhenzhen and the wild man were tied up with ropes and gagged with strips of cloth. They knelt on the ground, making incoherent noises.

Qi Gaoming grabbed Qi Junlin's clothes and said, "Father, this has nothing to do with us. Don't send us away!"

Qi Jiating pushed Qi Gaoming to the ground.

Qi Jiating said to him, "You bastards, get out—all of you get out!"

Old Madam Qi looked at Qi Jiating with a wronged expression and said, "Son, what do we do now?"

Qi Jiating: "According to the old system, drown them in pig cages!"

Madam Qi: "Excellent idea! People like them should be drowned in a pig cage!"

Xiao Zhenzhen pleaded incoherently from the ground.

Qi Gaoming also cried out, "No! Don't drown my mother in a pig cage!"

Qi Jinlan, however, remained calm on the side, as if everything happening before her eyes had nothing to do with her.

Qi Jiating said very firmly, "Drown in pig cages, right now! Someone, bring two pig cages!"

The servants replied, "Yes, sir!"

Soon after, two smelly pig cages were brought over.

Qi Jiating kicked the two men into the pig cage.

Xiao Zhenzhen was babbling something, but her mouth was stuffed with a strip of cloth so she couldn't speak. She just looked at her two children with teary eyes.

Qi Gaoming cried his heart out, kneeling on the ground and begging Qi Jiating, "Father, please spare my mother! Don't drown her in the pig cage, please don't!"

Qi Jiating kicked Qi Gaoming away and said, "Who's your father! Get out of my way!"

Qi Gaoming: "Father, please! Don't drown my mother!"

Qi Jinlan also burst into tears.

Ignoring the children's cries, Qi Jiating had someone carry the pig cage towards the lake in the city.

Inside the princess's residence, Xiao Feng was pushing Qiu Qiu on a swing when several small birds flew over, chirping and chattering.

Chiu Chiu burst into laughter after hearing this.

Chirp: "I heard it! They said Xiao Zhenzhen and a man are going to be drowned in a pig cage!"

Xiao Feng nodded, then couldn't help but laugh as well.

Chirp chirp: "Little Phoenix, quick! Let's go see what's going on!"

Xiao Feng: "Alright! Let's go!"

Xiao Feng picked up Qiu Qiu from the swing and led the palace maids out of the princess's residence.

This was the first time the princess of all nations had gone out since her investiture, and the procession was very long.

The people all wanted to see the face of the princess from all over the world, and many people gathered in the streets.

Everyone is discussing what the princess of the world looks like.

"I've heard that Princess Wanguo is incredibly beautiful. Is that true?"

"People say that Princess Wan Guo's smile is so beautiful it could topple kingdoms. I really want to see her in person!"

"The princess of all nations is so beautiful that flowers would blush and the moon would be ashamed, and fish would sink and geese would fall from the sky. If I cannot see her beauty today, I will truly regret it for the rest of my life!"

Even sitting in the carriage, Qiuqiu could hear everyone's discussion.

She couldn't resist any longer, so she opened the carriage window, poked her little head out, and said to everyone, "What's so interesting about me? Someone's drowning a pig in a cage by the lake ahead, come and see!"

Everyone was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the Princess of the Kingdom.

The people on the street were all ordinary citizens who never knew Princess Wan Guo's age. They only deduced from snippets of conversation that Princess Wan Guo was an exceptionally beautiful woman.

Unexpectedly, the child sitting in the carriage was not even three years old, which surprised everyone.

Someone in the crowd recognized the Princess of Wan Guo and quickly knelt down, kowtowing and bowing: "Greetings, Princess of Wan Guo! Long live the Princess! Long live the Princess!"
