"Okay, I'll get it for you right away."

The old man reluctantly took down a string of candied hawthorns and handed them to the naughty child.

Jing Le and the others didn't leave; they just watched them.

"Pah, it doesn't taste good at all. You old man, you're lying. Why does she eat it so deliciously, but mine doesn't taste good at all, Grandmother?"

The mischievous child only stopped because he saw Jing Le eating so deliciously.

The result was completely different from what he had expected.

"Hey, give what you're holding to my grandson, you hear me?"

The old woman had no sense at all; seeing that Jing Le and Emperor Jing were dressed simply, she immediately spoke harshly.

Emperor Jing was already displeased, but he couldn't lay a hand on a child and an old man.

Just then, Jing Le spoke up.

"Who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you? Who do you think you are?"

Jing Le doesn't tolerate such behavior; brats deserve to be disciplined and scolded.

If family members don't discipline them, then letting them out means they'll be taught a lesson by others.

She will be the first to do so.

"You wretched girl, you good-for-nothing, how dare you talk to me like that? Do you know who I am?"

My sister is about to become the Third Prince's consort. Do you think someone as lowly as you can afford to offend her? Give it to me.

The mischievous child ran up to Jing Le and tried to snatch the candied hawthorn from her hand.

Jing Le turned around easily, and the chubby boy, unable to stop, fell down:

"Ouch...Grandma, it hurts so much...They sold this little slut..."

"Clap clap clap!"

"Hmm."

"Shut up. If you dare let me hear you swear again, I'll slap your face off."

Jing Le straddled the chubby boy and gave him a good beating.

Emperor Jing and his shadow guards twitched at the sight; they hadn't expected the little princess to have such a childlike side.

The old lady has already spoken out; she must be really angry.

"Oh, my dear grandson! You little slut, how dare you hit my grandson! You don't want to live anymore!"

I will immediately have my princess granddaughter punish you.

The old woman ran to the chubby boy's side with heartache, raising her hand to strike him.

"roll!"

Emperor Jing would never allow this person to hit Jing Le. He kicked him away without caring whether the other person was an old man or not.

Anyone who dares to bully his daughter, beat them up first.

"Throw them up in the Dali Temple Minister's residence and have Cao Nian go to the palace to explain."

After Emperor Jing finished speaking, he carried Jing Le away from the place.

The person left to clean up the mess first took the money, and then dragged the two men to the Cao residence.

The passersby were discussing it animatedly.

"Uncle, who were those people just now? How dare they hit that little tyrant?"

"Yes, sir, those people have a different vibe just by looking at them. Could it be that this cancerous tumor has kicked a hornet's nest?"

"If that were true, that would be wonderful..."

Jing Le and the others, upon returning to the palace, were unaware of the discussions outside. All she knew was that Lord Cao was about to be criticized.

The Cao residence.

"My lord, my lord, something terrible has happened! Someone is coming to you with a token, carrying an old woman and a child."

The gatekeeper rushed to the door of Lord Cao's study to report.

Lord Cao is just having lunch at home and is currently reading in his study. He will be going to the yamen to handle official business in the afternoon.

As a result, he was disturbed by the servant shortly after he sat down.

"Let's go take a look."

Lord Cao put down his book and headed towards the gate of the mansion.

When he saw the token in the shadow guard's hand and the two people he was carrying, his heart skipped a beat.

Something happened.

"Lord Cao, these two claim to be your family members, and are using the names of Princess Rui and Lord Cao to bully the weak."

The master hopes that Lord Cao will come to the palace to explain things clearly after he has finished dealing with the matter.

After finishing speaking, the shadow guard turned and left.

Lord Cao now knew that if this matter was not handled properly, he would also be in trouble.

"Someone, take them to the main hall, invite Madam Mei here, and send someone outside to find out more."

"Yes, sir."

A moment later, everyone had arrived.

Lord Cao put down his teacup and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, what happened?"

The speaker pointed at the old woman.

"Ahem, nephew-in-law, this isn't entirely my fault..."

"Who is your nephew-in-law!"

The old woman was interrupted by Lord Cao as soon as she opened her mouth.

If he hadn't met her once before, he wouldn't have recognized her at all.

This old woman was Aunt Mei's aunt from her maternal family; she had absolutely no dealings with the Cao family.

They actually dared to act arrogantly and domineeringly in the name of the Cao family!

Using Yao'er's name is simply intolerable.

"Master, please listen to what your aunt has to say first. There might be something else going on here."

Aunt Mei offered a weak and gentle explanation, but Lord Cao wasn't buying it.

"Aunt Mei, don't worry. The people who went out to investigate will be back soon, and the master will decide the outcome."

Madam Cao possessed a refined elegance, like a chrysanthemum.

Jing Le was unaware of what was happening on their side. After returning to the palace, she took out the fish-raising manual.

They also got a few more large tanks and put the fish fry in them.

"Yes, five kinds of fish fry are enough. We'll give you the others later."

This time, they provided grass carp and similar species that are easy to raise, requiring little experience, making them suitable for Yuan Zhengqi and his team's first step in the experiment.

"Shadow Three, take these fish fry to Lord Yuan, along with this manual."

Jing Le summoned Ying San and gave him instructions.

"yes."

Without further ado, Shadow Three accepted the mission and took the fish fry to the Yuan residence.

...

Time passed quietly, the engagements of the older brothers were completed, and the eldest prince's wedding was approaching.

The Prince Xuan's mansion was filled with joy and red decorations.

They're just waiting for the bride to arrive tonight.

Under the protection of the eldest prince, Mu Qianqian learned about the poisoning she had committed between the concubine's daughter and her aunt.

Her purpose was to marry King Xuan in her place.

"Finally, I'm leaving this cage, Mother. I won't let them get away with this."

Mu Qianqian was utterly disappointed with this family; everything changed the moment her mother died.

She put on the red veil and stepped out of her boudoir.

Meanwhile, Jing Le and her sisters also arrived at the First Prince's residence.

[Oh, oh, oh, we're going through the plot again. Let's see if that scumbag comes looking for Fifth Sister.]

"Fifth Sister, don't worry, I will protect you."

Jing Le hugged the Fifth Princess and suddenly said this.

If they hadn't heard Jing Le's heartfelt words, they certainly wouldn't have understood. Now that they have, they are deeply moved.

"Yes, Fifth Sister likes Lele so much, so I'll leave my safety to Lele."

The Fifth Princess hugged and kissed Jing Le.

"And me too, I like Lele the most too."

The sixth princess also squeezed in.

The Eighth Princess also held Jingle tightly, saying, "I love Lele the most."

"I love my sisters too."

Ahhh, the older sisters smell so good and are so soft, except for the eighth sister. But she'll grow taller, so I'll forgive her.

Jing Le chuckled and made a sarcastic remark, which made the older sisters blush with embarrassment.

Of course, the Eighth Princess was furious, thinking to herself, "Hmph, she's still young. She might be different in a few years."
