A villa on the outskirts of the city.

Since being divorced and driven out of the Rong family mansion by Rong Shiqing, Madam Chen has lived in this villa.

The villa is not large, but it has a quiet environment, pleasant scenery, and elegant houses, making it a suitable place for people to live in peace.

However, the people living inside were restless and agitated. Losing the title of "noble lady" felt like a piece of her flesh had been torn out. She was filled with pain and hatred, and would often smash the appliances in the house or take her anger out on the servants.

The poor servants who served her could only endure it in silence.

Today, after smashing and looting again, Chen's mood improved slightly.

She sat down gloomily, pondering all that had been happening lately.

To this day, she still can't understand why her lover was in her house that night at Jiulong Mountain.

She wanted to confront the lover and get to the bottom of things, but Rong Shiqing, having been cuckolded by her, didn't want such a shameful affair to be discovered. So that very night, he secretly had the lover dealt with.

She had no chance to find out what was going on from her lover.

At first, she suspected that Rong Qingqing was behind it, but she believed that no one knew about her affair with her lover, and that the two of them were very careful when they met in secret, so how could Rong Qingqing possibly know?

But if it wasn't her, then who would want to harm her?

What good would it do the person behind the scenes to harm her?

This matter weighed heavily on her mind, like a fog, and she could never quite grasp the truth.

Just then, a servant rushed in, "Madam, Miss has come to see you."

Upon hearing that her daughter had arrived, Mrs. Chen was overjoyed.

She had just stood up when Rong Yiyi appeared at the door.

"Yiyi, my precious daughter, what brings you here?" Madam Chen said happily, walking over quickly and leading her inside.

Seeing her pale and sallow complexion, Rong Yiyi felt a mix of emotions.

Remembering her business, she pulled her hand back and said, "Mother, I won't sit down. I came here to tell you that I'm going to Xuzhou with Prince Xu tomorrow."

Chen was stunned. "Who is Prince Xu?"

Rong Yiyi sighed, "The Third Prince was already enfeoffed as the Prince of Xu by the Emperor this morning, and he will be departing for his fiefdom today." Her mother now lives in the suburbs and rarely leaves the house, so she is naturally out of touch with news from the capital and it is normal that she does not know that Feng Mo has been enfeoffed as the Prince of Xu.

Madam Chen was surprised, and her voice suddenly rose to a shrill tone, "Why was he only granted the title of Prince Xu? Has the Third Prince stopped being emperor?"

Upon hearing this, Rong Yiyi felt a pang of bitterness in her heart and said somewhat unhappily, "It's not like anyone can become emperor just because they want to. In the past, everyone thought Feng Mo would become emperor, but who would have thought that someone like Chen Yaojin would suddenly appear out of nowhere?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Chen frowned. "Who suddenly appeared out of nowhere?"

Rong Yiyi said with a complicated expression, "Xie Jingrun! He is the Emperor's son, and moreover, the son of the former favorite concubine, Consort Li. The Emperor's heart is clearly biased; he doesn't appoint his own perfectly good son as the Crown Prince, but insists on putting this unexpected son on the throne. Can he be sure that Xie Jingrun is really his son?" As she spoke, she became indignant, her tone quite vicious.

After hearing all this, Madam Chen finally understood and exclaimed in surprise, "That ruthless wolf cub Xie Jingrun, who kills without shedding blood, has been made crown prince?"

"Mm." Rong Yiyi nodded, not wanting to dwell on this upsetting matter any longer. She instructed, "Mother, please take good care of yourself. I haven't finished packing my things yet, so I have to go back first. Don't be so down. Perhaps after a while, Father's anger will subside, and he will come to take you back."
