On our wedding night, my wife acted strangely.

In the woodshed in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion.

Luo Qingyu was sitting on a pile of dry grass, her clothes covered in dust and grass clippings, as she hadn't changed them for days.

Her once jet-black hair was now disheveled and draped over her shoulders, and she no longer possessed that aloof and cold demeanor.

At that moment, she was holding a broken porcelain bowl containing a bowl of porridge.

It wouldn't be quite right to call it bland and watery, but it's definitely not a good drink.

Back when I was in the Luo family mansion, I ate delicacies every day and wore fine silks and satins. But now I'm locked up in this dark and smelly woodshed and can only drink this kind of pig feed every day.

She hates it.

If Lin Yi hadn't suddenly gone mad and snatched the Luo family's betrothal gifts, turning the Luo family upside down, she would have married Nangong Jin long ago and become the fourth prince's wife in a grand and glorious way.

Perhaps His Majesty will be so pleased that he will abdicate the throne to Ah Jin, and she will be the rightful Empress!

"Ah Jin... when are you going to come and save me...?" Luo Qingyu firmly believed that Nangong Jin would definitely come to save her.

Thinking of this, looking at the porridge in the bowl, she gritted her teeth, tilted her head back, and drank it down.

I must survive until Ah Jin arrives!

I want to see Lin Yi die with my own eyes!

"Squeak—"

The wooden door was pushed open.

Luo Qingyu was puzzled. Hadn't they just delivered food? Why was someone else here?

"Who?"

"It is a servant girl."

The light suddenly shone in, making it difficult for her to see clearly.

But she was extremely familiar with that voice.

Xiuzhu!

Luo Qingyu immediately stood up, looking at her with a face full of resentment.

"You bitch!"

Xiuzhu, as her personal maid, had been obedient to her since childhood.

But now, Xiuzhu is wearing a brand new silk dress, with a hairpin in her hair, her face fair and rosy, dressed more elegantly than her mistress.

"What are you doing here? Did you come to laugh at me?" Luo Qingyu threw the broken bowl in her hand to the ground and glared at him as she cursed.

Xiuzhu pouted, completely disregarding Luo Qingyu's temper.

You have to understand that she's now Lin Yi's person, even if she's just an informant, she's still managed to get into the prince's bed.

Besides, in this Prince's mansion, who still treats Luo Qingyu as their master?

"Oh dear, young lady, why are you still so irritable?" Xiuzhu put the food box on the ground and said sarcastically, "I came to bring you food with the best of intentions. Look at you, you've become so thin."

The more sarcastic and sarcastic she became, the angrier Luo Qingyu grew: "Get out! I don't need your fake kindness! You treacherous, ungrateful servant! Once I get out of here, I'll tear your mouth apart first!"

Upon hearing this, Xiuzhu was not afraid at all; instead, she covered her mouth and laughed.

"Hehehe, young lady, are you still dreaming? Do you really think you can get out of here?"

Xiuzhu took two steps closer, and those eyes that had never looked directly at Luo Qingyu now stared at her arrogantly, giving off a feeling of a strong servant behaving like a weak master.

"Besides bringing you your meal, I have some good news to tell you today."

Seeing the cold smile on her face, Luo Qingyu instinctively felt that nothing good was coming, and her heart skipped a beat: "What news? Stop playing coy!"

"Young Miss, you don't know yet, do you? The Madam came to the Prince's Mansion the day before yesterday afternoon."

When Luo Qingyu heard that Li Shi had arrived, her eyes lit up.

My mother is here?

She must have come to save me!

The Luo family must have found some powerful backer and are asking Lin Yi for their people!

"Where is my mother? Did she bring people to rescue me?" Luo Qingyu asked anxiously.

For some reason, Xiuzhu's smile was cruel at this moment, as if she hated Luo Qingyu very much.

"Save you? Miss, you're overthinking it. Madam did come to the Prince's residence, but she didn't come to save you; she came to ask the Prince for the family fortune. And guess what happened?"

Luo Qingyu's breathing quickened: "What's wrong!?"

Xiuzhu leaned close to Luo Qingyu's ear and said, word by word, "Not only did the prince not give her any family property, but also... hehehe, when the lady ran out of the prince's mansion, her clothes were almost torn to shreds, and everyone on the street saw it."

She came here today on purpose to provoke Luo Qingyu.

As for the truth of what happened this morning, she couldn't be bothered to say it.

Isn't it good to watch the master who once humiliated you go crazy?

Sure enough, Xiuzhu's words struck Luo Qingyu like a thunderbolt.

Did Lin Yi bully my family?

How could that be! My family is the Li clan of Longxi! A prestigious and renowned family!

That beast Lin Yi, how dare he do such a heinous thing!

Luo Qingyu's eyes instantly turned red, and she reached out to grab Xiuzhu.

"You're lying! You vile woman! I'll kill you!"

Xiuzhu had anticipated this move and dodged to the side, causing Luo Qingyu to miss her target and fall to the ground.

"Thump!"

"ah!!"

"I'm talking nonsense? Miss, everyone in the capital knows about this. If you don't believe me, go out and listen for yourself." Xiuzhu snorted coldly, turned around, opened the door of the woodshed, and left.

Luo Qingyu lay on the ground, trembling all over, whether from physical pain or emotional pain, she didn't know.

Lin Yi, that beast!

He ruined the Luo family, ruined himself, and now he's even targeting her family.

"Lin Yi!! I'll kill you!!"

She jumped up like a madwoman, not even bothering to put on her shoes, and rushed out of the woodshed barefoot.

The pebbles on the road hurt her feet, but she didn't feel it at all, and ran forward with her hair disheveled.

It's as if running fast is the only way to kill Lin Yi.

The servants in the Prince's mansion were working in the courtyard when they were all startled to see Luo Qingyu rush out in this state.

"Good heavens, isn't that the princess? What happened to her, she looks like this?"

"What princess? She's been locked up in the woodshed by the prince long ago."

"She's not even wearing shoes, is she crazy?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down, don't let her hear you. She's like a mad dog now, she'll bite anyone she can get her hands on."

Hearing their comments, Luo Qingyu felt even more resentful.

These lackeys weren't even worthy of carrying her shoes back in the Luo family, and now they dare to mock her to her face!

It's all because of Lin Yi!

She stopped and demanded sharply, "Where is Lin Yi?!"

"No, I don't know..." The maids were terrified and quickly stopped talking.

Luo Qingyu pretended to scratch them, saying, "I'll ask you one more time! Where's Lin Yi?!"

"Madam, please don't come over... The Prince is in his study!"

"The study? Ha, I should have known you were there." Luo Qingyu gritted her teeth and ran quickly toward the study.

The courtyard gate to the study was open.

Luo Qingyu was spotted by two burly old women guarding the gate as soon as she rushed into the courtyard.

"Stop! What are you doing!" an old woman shouted, stepping forward to block her path.

Luo Qingyu ignored her completely and rushed up the steps to the study with her head down.

"Get out of my way! I want to see Lin Yi! Tell that beast to get out here!"

The two old women were specially arranged by Lin An to work in the study. They were very strong, and they were immediately displeased when they saw that she dared to call the prince by his name and even called him a beast.

The two men grabbed Luo Qingyu's arms from both sides, pressing her firmly to the spot.

"How dare you! You crazy woman, how dare you shout outside the Prince's study! Are you out of your mind!" The old woman pinched Luo Qingyu's arm hard, making her wince in pain.

Although Luo Qingyu was a weak woman, she was quite strong when she was angry. She used every means possible, whether it was kicking or biting, and wrestled with the two old women like a shrew.

"Let me go! You lackeys!"

"I am the eldest daughter of the Luo family!"

"I am the princess!"

"How dare you hit me!"

The old woman sneered and tightened her grip: "There's only one princess in the royal palace, and that's the current princess! If you dare to act wildly again, believe me, I'll slap you across the face!"

Luo Qingyu was pinned down and unable to move, so she could only yell and curse at the top of her lungs in the study.

"Lin Yi! You shameless scoundrel! Come out here!"

"You dare to do it but not admit it?!"

"You ruined my Luo family, wasn't that enough? Now you're bullying the Li family of Longxi! You beast! Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?!"

"Come out here! Explain yourself! Why did you do this to harm the Luo family?!"

Luo Qingyu's curses were sharp and piercing, echoing throughout the courtyard.

In the study.

Lin An was just about to spread rumors as Lin Yi had instructed when he heard Luo Qingyu cursing loudly, and immediately retorted angrily.

"Your Highness, Luo Qingyu must have heard some rumors and come here acting crazy. This old servant will go out and gag her right away, then drag her back to the woodshed!"
