"Oh oh oh..."
"Let's put this matter aside for two days. I need to find out who this person is. If it's confirmed that he doesn't have any powerful connections, then it's not just a piece of wasteland; I'm going to take over his entire estate!"
For the next two days, Princess Changsha wandered among the residences of nobles in Chang'an, subtly inquiring about the origins of Li Zhong, the man from Xianyang County.
However, after asking several households, not a single person knew the answer. Some people didn't even know that the Tang Dynasty had ever had a noble title like the Baron of Xianyang County.
Changsun Wuji soon learned about Princess Changsha's affair, but instead of dissuading her, he sent people to add fuel to the fire. While openly mocking Princess Changsha on various occasions, he also subtly instructed people to point out that Li Zhong had no background and was just a down-on-his-luck minor nobleman.

“Mother, you know your son’s temper. When I get into a fight, I don’t care about people dying. If I accidentally kill someone…”
Princess Changsha snorted coldly upon hearing this.
"Kill him if you want, he's just a lowly baron, what can he do to rebel against the heavens?"
"The Tang Dynasty was conquered by my father and brother!"

"Don't worry, Mother, I'll go and beat that bastard's legs right away!"
After saying this, Lu Qinwen immediately led dozens of servants and guards, and marched in a grand procession toward Sanglin Manor.
"Listen up, people of Sanglin Manor! Get your lord out here right now, or I'll set the manor on fire!"
Lu Qinwen was just bluffing; he couldn't bear to burn down such a well-maintained estate. He wanted to keep it for himself and pass it down as ancestral property for generations to come.
Upon hearing this, Hu Delu immediately ordered his men to strike the gong, gathering all the young men in the village together.
"Fellow villagers, the time has come to defend our homeland! We must not let these thieves burn down our village!"
