As soon as she said this, the Grand Princess looked over suddenly. Before, she had been arrogant and hadn't paid much attention to Old Lady Cai's appearance. But after taking a closer look, her expression changed again.
Cai Yu's eyes reddened, and she glared angrily at the Grand Princess, "Please explain, Your Highness, why is Cai Lingyi, who was part of the Cai family's dowry for a marriage alliance, in Dayuan?"
"When the princess returned to the capital, didn't she say that my aunt had died in battle?"
The Grand Princess's eyes darted away. "Cai Lingyi did indeed die in battle. Perhaps she faked her death and escaped back to Dayuan, or perhaps this person's mother was not actually Cai Lingyi..."
"Pah!"
A mouthful of thick saliva was spat onto the Grand Princess's face. Before she could even scream, Cai Yueya pinched her nose with both hands and blew her nose, leaving a clump of green snot on the Grand Princess's mouth.
The old princess instinctively gagged, but Cai Yueya pressed her to the ground. "My mother was harmed by a villain and sold to the army camp as a prostitute. Fortunately, my father saved her and she escaped her suffering."
But that villain broke her hands and feet, leaving her unable to walk for the rest of her life, and she couldn't even hold a needle and thread.

So my mother was also from an official family! It was you, you vicious old woman, who ruined her!"

"I couldn't stand it anymore. The Marquis of Zhongyong is such a good kid, but you don't want him. You insist on having Fu Jiang's child. You two are cut from the same cloth..."
"Stop! Assaulting a member of the royal family is a capital offense punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family..."
Another kick landed on her chest, but Cai Yueya remained fearless. "I'm the only one left in my nine generations. Kill me as you please."
Besides, a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; you've married a barbarian and now you're coming back to your parents' home to beg for money. What kind of royal person are you? You dare to harm my mother? I'll beat you to death!
Ye Zhen stepped forward and pretended to persuade Cai Yueya, but secretly and openly attacked the old princess. The old princess was in so much pain that she couldn't even cry out, and could only look around for help.
No one stepped forward from the hall. The emperor looked up at the sky, the empress looked outside the door, and the Marquis of Zhongyong and his group all looked at their toes.
Prince Ning and Chen Banjun, as if by unspoken agreement, reached the palace entrance and each closed a door...
