Shen Yiyi felt desperate. Looking at Marquis Lu's embarrassed look, she knelt on the ground and let go of the dress she was holding. The cold chill gnawed at her fiery heart bit by bit. It was icy cold, as if she was falling into an ice cave.

There is no greater pain than watching my father suffer helplessly, his soul burned by flames, and his life worse than death.

It's all her fault. She was born a loser with only a D-level mental power, ordinary qualifications and looks. She was not loved by the Queen Mother and caused her father to be helpless and suffer this humiliation.

She laughed at herself, slowly stood up, and met Chen Yin's gaze as she walked out of the palace. She looked at the beautiful and elegant girl. They had the same blood flowing in their bodies, but different fates. She was not even as good as Chen Yin.

Chen Yin's success only serves to highlight her worthlessness.

When it came to Xuan Ming, Shen Yiyi didn't rush over to act like a clown, but turned away in despair.

"etc!"

Unexpectedly, Chen Yin called her.

Shen Yiyi's back was stiff. She squeezed her palms, fearing that the visitor was unkind, and took the lead in turning cold. "What do you want?"

She looked defensive.

Chen Yin looked puzzled. "Aren't you going to see the Queen Mother? She's busy right now and can't make it. If you have any trouble, you can tell me. I might be able to help you solve it."

Could she be so kind?

Shen Yiyi's eyes showed suspicion and she sneered: "It's all your father's fault!"

"Oh, if you want to talk about other things, I might not care, but as long as it involves Xuan Ming, let's go, I'll go with you."

Chen Yin lifted her hair and walked towards Xuan Ming's palace without any hesitation or further questions.

Shen Yiyi frowned, knowing that the relationship between the father and daughter was average, but in this situation, there was no need for Shen Yin to offend Xuan Ming because of a pair of unappreciated father and daughter.

…

In the brightly lit luxurious palace, Xuan Ming sat bored on the sofa, dressed neatly in a suit, concentrating on looking at the projection in front of him. The man kneeling beside him was dressed casually and simply, with an ordinary appearance. In the palace full of handsome men, he was not as good as the servants beside the empress.

The man was Shen Yiyi’s father, Haoyu, who was already sweating profusely and his forehead was hot.

He had been kneeling for a whole day and night, exhausted, and also sick.

Looking at Xuan Ming who was looking up at him, he lowered his head and dared not say a word, for fear of implicating his daughter.

"Hey, what is Master Xuanming doing?"

Chen Yin stepped into the palace and noticed the kneeling man at a glance. She ignored him and turned to Xuan Ming who was sitting on the sofa with a sarcastic look in her eyes.

"Father!"

Shen Yiyi, who flew in like a butterfly, knelt beside Haoyu, her eyes red and distressed. She turned to Xuan Ming: “Sir, please, my father is in poor health, he can’t hold on like this!”

Haoyu's beastly form is that of a ragdoll cat, and his physique is incomparable to that of a wild beast. His mental strength is low, and in Xuan Ming's eyes he is just an ant who can be stepped on by anyone in the palace.

Xuan Ming frowned, looked at the father and daughter with disgust, and cast a dissatisfied gaze at Chen Yin.

"Your Highness the Fourth Prince has come to visit us. What instructions do you have?"

Shen Yin smiled, looking down on his domineering appearance, “The day after tomorrow is Shen Qiangwei’s wedding. If you cause trouble at this time, aren’t you afraid of affecting your precious daughter?”

After that, regardless of Xuan Ming's expression, he turned to the father and daughter on the ground and said, "Okay, you guys go down first. I have something to say to Master Xuan Ming."

Shen Yiyi was unbelievable and reacted quickly, as if relieved. She immediately helped Haoyu up from the ground and walked out with difficulty.

"What? Did I agree for them to leave?"

Xuan Ming was furious. He stood up suddenly and glared at Chen Yin. "How dare you boss me around like that? You're really overreaching. It's not your place to comment on matters between us elders!"

"You are just a lowly servant. I told you to kneel, and you dare to leave!?"

His eyes were like lightning, and his dominance was evident.

Haoyu's face turned pale, Shen Yiyi clenched her father's arm, and subconsciously turned around to refute, but Haoyu, who was powerless, grabbed her, shook his head at her, and stopped her with his eyes.

They have no relatives and rely on the empress for all their financial resources. If they anger Xuan Ming, they will suffer the consequences.

Chen Yin narrowed her eyes, snorted, turned around, turned her back to Xuan Ming, winked at the father and daughter, and mouthed: "I'm going to faint."

Haoyu's pupils suddenly shrank, as if he was doubting his own judgment. Then he closed his eyes and fell to the ground.

"Father! Father!"

Shen Yiyi was extremely panicked. She hurriedly checked and touched it. It was all sweaty. She turned around in anger and said, "Master Xuan Ming, you are going too far! You are humiliating my father like this. If anything happens to him, can you bear the consequences?"

Xuan Ming was furious. How dare a mean girl talk to him like that?

"Alright! Is it over yet? Father, do you want Shen Qiangwei's wedding to go on as scheduled? You're going to anger the Queen Mother again and cause trouble for her every day. Go down! Go find a doctor quickly."

Xuan Ming wanted to stop him, but Chen Yin's eyes flashed coldly: "Father, if you continue to be stubborn, I will tell the Queen Mother right away!"

After hearing this, Xuan Ming stopped and watched the father and daughter leave. He was so angry that he sat back on the sofa, gritting his teeth, looking at his pretty daughter in front of him, angry at her for not fighting back.

"You idiot, who is your real father? You're a traitor!"

This scene shocked Xuan Ming. For the first time, he saw Chen Yin's true nature so clearly. He was cold-blooded, ruthless, selfish, and didn't even care about the face of his own father.

Chen Yin rolled her eyes, knowing that Xuan Ming came from a wealthy family and had been a young master since childhood. He had not suffered any hardship after entering the palace. The only victim of the palace fighting incident was the original owner.

"You're almost there. Is it fun to embarrass the weak? My third sister has already begged at the door of the Queen Mother Palace. If I hadn't discovered and stopped her in time, it would have really made a big fuss and implicated Shen Qiangwei. Are you happy with that? Okay, stop making a fuss and watch your TV."

Chen Yin was too lazy to waste words with him. Before leaving, under Xuan Ming's incredible gaze, she picked up the apple on the coffee table, took a big bite, and turned around to leave.

"Evil girl! You evil creature!!!"

He roared behind her, but Chen Yin didn't take it seriously. The oppressive aura she had just felt with the empress disappeared in an instant.

Suddenly I understood why the empress favored him. I usually use my brain a lot, so I like to get along with people like this without having to use my brain.

There are few stars at night.

"Chen Yin."

At the corner, Shen Yiyi stood under the wall with a complicated look in her eyes. She took a step forward and said, “…Thank you so much for what I said just now.”

She would never have thought that Chen Yin would offend Xuan Ming in order to help them.

Chen Yin sneered, disapproving, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not helping you, I just can't stand my old father. What are you doing here? Is your father okay?"

Shen Yiyi's face turned pale and she shook her head. "The doctor checked it out. It's nothing serious. It's just that the body is weak. Anyway, you helped us. I owe you a favor."

"laugh."

Chen Yin didn't take it seriously. He threw a healing potion casually, turned around and left, not taking this episode seriously.

Under the moonlight, Shen Yiyi held the green potion, her eyes shaking, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
