Qin Louyu knew that he should be humble and beg for mercy, as he was the only one alive from the former prince's lineage.

He has to live desperately to live up to his relatives who died for him.

"I beg the county lady to spare my life."

He finally lowered his head in order to survive.

"Alright!" Shi Wei said condescendingly, "Father-in-law, just take them down and lock them up for a few days. Of course, a small lesson is also fine, as long as their worthless lives are spared."

"It's saved by the servant."

After Shi Wei left, the eunuch stood up, waved his hand, and took Qin Louyu and the others away.

"Master, you almost got yourself into trouble. If Qin Louyu had been killed by you beforehand, this plane would have collapsed, and you would have been punished. Then your sister wouldn't have been able to be saved."

"Don't worry, they're not dead. I just made them suffer a little, it's no big deal."

"Alas~ How did I end up with such an unscrupulous master like you?"

Dabai was so angry that he became autistic.

Shi Wei lay comfortably in the hot spring pool that the Zhao family built specifically for her.

"Xiao Baibai, isn't it time for those two to come out?"

She doesn't want to say it, otherwise the male protagonist will make her bald sooner or later.

"Hehe, if you don't tell me, I'll have Qin Louyu chopped off at the banquet in a few days."

"He's recuperating at home!"

Is it him who's doing the plotting, or is it Shi Wei? Why is she so confident?

If she really messed up, her punishment would be much more severe than this.

An hour later, Shi Wei stood in front of a slightly dilapidated house.

Dabai is not as fun as the male lead!

But this time Shi Wei came back empty-handed, as Qin Louyu was not at home at all.

This made Shi Wei a little annoyed, but more bored.

There's nothing fun to do anymore.

"Let me go! Do you think you can catch me?

"Oh! Forget about arresting you! If you don't pay back the five hundred taels of silver I owe you today, I'll break your hands and feet!"

Shi Wei smiled as she watched the young man being escorted over. Isn't this the heroine's unlearned younger brother? It seems this trip wasn't in vain!

She asked someone to redeem Wang Yunliang.

This person may be useful in the future.

As the end of the year approaches, all the ladies with imperial decrees and ranks must come to the palace to pay homage to the empress.

The Zhao family naturally ranks first.

The queen, who was sitting on the high throne, showed joy when she saw Zhao. When Zhao joined everyone in paying her respects, she walked down and helped Zhao up.

"Everyone, stand up!"

Shi Wei was also helped up. It was good to have a queen as a sister. She didn't even have to kneel.

With Zhao around, Queen Zhao naturally wouldn't bother with anyone else.

The crowd soon dispersed, and Zhao was helped back to her own bedroom.

"Mother, Liu had a miscarriage."

Zhao's expression was calm. She had received the news when the incident first happened. She only asked, "Your Majesty, don't you suspect anything?"

"His Majesty has no doubts, but he has been much colder towards me recently. He even refuses to come to me on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. He must have guessed something."

Zhao glared at her with a look of dismay: "You, you've always been so generous when His Majesty comes. Why don't you show some courage? Otherwise, you wouldn't have let that little talent Liu climb over your head."

The Queen was a little distressed. His Majesty came often, but she always felt that when His Majesty looked at her, his eyes were empty, as if he was looking through her to see someone else...

She murmured, "The imperial physician said it was because I had a miscarriage the first year and it hurt my body."
