“What the princess says is true. As a princess, you are high and mighty, beautiful and generous. Please don’t lower yourself to the level of a commoner like me. It would damage your noble image. And if others see this and it gets back to the ears of the princes and young masters, it would be even worse.”

"You!? I'm in a good mood today, so I won't bother with you. Let's go!" After Li Weiwei finished speaking, she led her servants past Tian Yu, who respectfully stepped back to let them go first.

"Madam, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you fight back?" Green Willow said angrily as the person walked away.

"Fight back? Why should you fight back?"

"Madam, what's wrong with you? She treated you like that, aren't you angry?"

"Don't be angry. If this slap can make the princess and my brother feel better, wouldn't it be worth it?"

“Madam, you really don’t need to do this. After all, you are a first-rank noblewoman, the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei,” Qiuju said.

"So what? People can do whatever they want anyway. They're nothing in the face of power!"

The three of them boarded the carriage, talking amongst themselves. Tian Yu was puzzled as to who the princess of Chen Kingdom, mentioned by Li Weiwei, would marry. Was it him? Should she not interfere, or should she let this good thing happen? With these questions in mind, Tian Yu returned to Qinyuan with a heavy heart.

On the other side, after court, Prince Wu and Zhao Moyan walked together. Prince Wu said, "It would be a good thing for everyone if the princess married into the Chen Kingdom. Why don't you agree?"

"Then why does the Fifth Prince also object?"

"She's my sister, so it's understandable that I'm reluctant to part with her."

“Tian Yu doesn’t want the princess to marry far away,” Zhao Moyan said.

"Just for this! Aren't you worried about that person from Chen? They almost got married."

"That's all in the past, I believe her!"

"It had better be that way, otherwise you'd be in big trouble."

"Your Highness, rest assured, I will handle it."

"I will have someone keep an eye on Lord Li's situation, and I will inform you as soon as there is any news."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"How's your evidence gathering coming along?"

"The search is still ongoing, and there are no results yet. It has been too long. Most of the people involved have passed away, and the only two remaining have been exiled to the frontier. They have not been found yet, and there are no leads on the assassination attempt."

"It seems you'll have a hard time overturning the verdict!"

"Your Highness, rest assured, the evidence will come eventually."

"By the way, Lord Li recently sent someone to Shancheng."

"Mountain Castle!?"

You'd better be careful.

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness!"
