The social hierarchy is: scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants. How dare a merchant's daughter, the lowest of the low, speak to me like that?
"Miss Zhou, what are you trying to do?" Liu Ming stood up in front of Li Zhiwei without thinking.
Now that Li Zhiwei is a princess, if Zhou Yuying dares to touch Li Zhiwei in the slightest, it would be an act of contempt for the royal family. Liu Ming naturally knows that the prince would not want such a thing to happen.
"Butler Liu, this bitch..." Zhou Yuying pointed angrily at Li Zhiwei, wanting to say something, but was met with a cold glare from Liu Ming, and for a moment, she forgot what words to use to describe her.
“Miss Zhou, please watch your words. This is the Princess Consort of our Prince’s Mansion! Miss Zhou has been here for a while now, but it is not convenient to entertain guests here today. Miss Zhou, please leave!” Before Zhou Yuying could react, Liu Ming had already given her the order to leave.
"Steward Liu, are you telling me to leave?" Zhou Yuying never expected that one day, when she came to the Prince An's mansion, she would be asked to leave by a steward.
“Prince An is my brother-in-law. Are you sure you want to help this lowly person?” Zhou Yuying said angrily, pointing at Li Zhiwei beside her.
"Slap!" Li Zhiwei immediately slapped Zhou Yuying across the face.
“Miss Zhou, I slapped you on behalf of your sister. This is the Prince An’s residence, not your home. How dare you, an outsider, run wild here? You know this is only your brother-in-law’s house, yet you insult your brother-in-law’s newlywed wife. Who gave you that right?” Li Zhiwei asked bluntly.
"You hit me? What right do you have to hit me? You bitch!" Without thinking, Zhou Yuying stepped forward and pushed Li Zhiwei.
Zhou Yuying was furious at the thought of being humiliated like this by a merchant's daughter.
They don't care at all whether their current behavior is reasonable or not.
"Weiwei!"
When Li Tianyou arrived, he saw Zhou Yuying pushing and shoving her daughter.
Li Tianyou felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
He had no idea how much suffering his precious daughter had endured without his knowledge.
The Marquis of Ru'an's family bullied him, a mere merchant. Although Prince An intervened to save his daughter, he never expected to witness such a scene.
Li Tianyou did not know Zhou Yuying, but since she was a woman in the Prince An's residence, he assumed she was either the Prince An's wife or a concubine.
Thinking of this, Li Tianyou secretly decided that he must take his daughter away from here.
"What are you doing?" Xu Heming knew Zhou Yuying had come to the mansion when he left.
In the past, when she came to the mansion, she would only look for Xu Qingshi, and he never thought much of it. But he never expected that Zhou Yuying would go so far today.
He even dared to bully his queen.
"Brother-in-law!" Zhou Yuying was surprised that Xu Heming had returned at this time. She looked at Xu Heming with a wronged expression and cried, feeling a little flustered.
"I thank Your Highness Prince An for taking care of my daughter. Now that I have arrived in the capital, I will take my daughter back with me." Li Tianyou ignored Zhou Yuying's flirtatious glances at Prince An.
Now, all he wants is to take Li Zhiwei away from here.
He didn't want his daughter to stay in this place where she could be bullied at any time, especially since he had just heard Zhou Yuying call Prince An her brother-in-law. Without even thinking, he knew that this person must be the younger sister of Prince An's ex-wife.
However, he doesn't want to delve into his current identity; he's just a father who wants to protect his daughter from harm.
Moreover, this trip to Beijing was to meet the emperor, and he was willing to offer up the Li family's fortune in exchange for his daughter's freedom.
