On our wedding night, my wife acted strangely.

"Miss, it's time to eat." Xiuzhu placed the food box on the table and took out several exquisite side dishes from it.

Luo Qingyu didn't even glance at them, but coldly asked, "What's the situation outside? What's that devil doing?"

Xiuzhu's face was a little pale, and she avoided looking into Luo Qingyu's eyes.

"Miss, please don't ask anymore. Let's eat quickly, or it will get cold."

Luo Qingyu was incredibly clever. Just by looking at Xiuzhu's appearance, she knew that something must have happened again.

She grabbed Xiuzhu abruptly and demanded sharply, "Speak! What happened? Did he bully my parents again?!"

Xiuzhu was so frightened that she trembled and dropped her chopsticks on the ground with a "clatter".

"No, it's not..." Xiuzhu's tears welled up in her eyes, her voice trembling with sobs.

"No?" Luo Qingyu's heart sank. "Then what happened? Tell me quickly!"

"Miss, please don't do this..." Xiuzhu was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, hugging Luo Qingyu's leg and crying, "This servant dares not lie to you, it's...it's Second Miss..."

"Wan'er?" Luo Qingyu's heart skipped a beat. Logically speaking, shouldn't Wan'er stay at home and never go out?

What could possibly happen to her?

Is it...

Luo Qingyu dared not think any further.

"Was it Lin Yi? What did he do to Wan'er?!"

Xiuzhu knelt on the ground, crying loudly, whether out of sorrow for Luo Qingwan's plight or out of fear of Lin Yi's horrific methods.

"Yesterday...last night, the master and mistress, along with the second young lady and some remaining belongings, prepared to go to the palace to stay..."

"Going to live in the palace?" Luo Qingyu was a little puzzled. Why would she suddenly be going to live in the palace? Can't she stay at home anymore?

She pressed on, "And then?"

"Then, right at the entrance of Yanlai Tower, they were stopped by the Prince and that fatso. In front of everyone, the Prince carried the Second Miss out of the carriage and snatched her back to the Prince's Mansion. The Master and Madam tried to stop them, but they couldn't. Even the last things left in the house were taken away."

"What..." Luo Qingyu swayed slightly.

It's over. Wan'er has fallen into the hands of that devil, and her fate is predictable.

Her clothes would be torn off, she would be pinned to the bed, and forced to do the most shameful and despicable things...

But... Wan'er... my Wan'er is only fifteen years old, still a child!

She doesn't understand anything!

Lin Yi, that beast, that devil!

How could he do that!

"Lin Yi, you beast, I'll kill you!" she screamed, shoving Xiuzhu aside and running towards the door like a madwoman.

"Miss! Miss, you can't go!" Xiuzhu hurriedly tried to stop her.

But it was too late.

The door to the west wing was usually left ajar from the outside and was not locked, so that servants could easily come and go to deliver things.

Luo Qingyu rushed over and, without pausing, smashed the door open.

"Bang!"

The blinding sunlight made Luo Qingyu, who had been living in a dark room for a long time, subconsciously squint.

The two maids guarding the door were dozing off when they were startled by the sudden commotion and didn't react in time.

"Your...Your Highness?"

"Stop the princess!" Xiuzhu shouted hoarsely from behind.

The two maids then realized what had happened and hurriedly went to chase after them.

"Your Highness, please stop! You can't go out!"

"His Highness has ordered that you are not allowed to leave the west wing!"

They shouted as they reached out to pull Luo Qingyu's arm.

"Get out of my way!" Luo Qingyu was like a mad lioness at this moment, how could the two weak women stop her?

She flung the maid's hand away and kicked another maid in the stomach.

"Ah!" the maid screamed, clutching her stomach and squatting down.

Seeing this, the other maid was too frightened to go any further and could only watch helplessly as Luo Qingyu rushed into the main hall.

She's going to find Lin Yi!

Ask him, he's already ruined himself, why does he have to ruin his only sister too!

Is he even human?

Just as Luo Qingyu rushed out of the moon gate of the inner courtyard and was about to run to the central hall, a figure walked out from inside.

It was Lin An, the steward, who came out after reporting the accounts.

Recently, the prince's changes have made him ecstatic.

Given time, the Lin family will surely become the most powerful family in the world.

However, before he could even close his mouth, he saw Luo Qingyu rushing towards him with her hair disheveled, followed by several crying and scrambling maids.

This woman not only demanded an exorbitant dowry, but also tried to swindle the Lin family out of their military power. What kind of trouble is she trying to cause now?

"Stop!" Lin An shouted, his voice powerful and imposing.

He had been the steward of the Prince's mansion for over thirty years, serving the old regent and watching Lin Yi grow up. His status in the mansion was second only to the master.

Luo Qingyu suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Standing on the steps, Lin An looked down at her and asked, "Your Highness, where are you going?"

"I want to see Lin Yi! Tell him to come out and see me!" Luo Qingyu cried out in anguish.

Lin An frowned even more deeply.

Is it any way for a prisoner like you to address a prince by his name?

He ignored Luo Qingyu's shouts and instead turned his gaze to the two trembling maids behind him.

"How can you be so incompetent? You can't even keep an eye on one person?"

"Thump!" The two maids responsible for guarding the area immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly. "Steward, spare us! It was the Princess who suddenly rushed out; we couldn't stop her!"

Xiuzhu scrambled over, knelt on the ground, and cried, "Butler, please, Miss... she was just too worried about the Second Miss and acted impulsively. Please don't blame her."

"Worried about the Second Miss?" Lin An sneered. "Hmph, the Second Miss is well-fed and clothed in the Prince's Mansion, what's there to worry about? I think she's just ungrateful and wants to cause trouble here!"

He turned to Luo Qingyu, "Your Highness, let me give you some advice. This is the Regent's Palace, not your Luo family's residence. The Prince is merciful and has spared your life. You have everything you need, so you should stay here quietly instead of making a scene. It's very improper!"

"I'm ungrateful?" Luo Qingyu laughed cruelly and maniacally. "Hahahaha! Lin An, you dog of a servant, how dare you lecture me? My father is an official in the Ministry of Personnel, my brother is the gatekeeper of Lantian City! And I am the legitimate wife of the Regent! What are you?!"

Lin An's face instantly darkened.

"Your Highness, please watch your words. It is true that I am a servant, but I am a servant of the Prince's mansion, a servant of the Prince. Your current status is probably even lower than that of this old servant."

"You!" Luo Qingyu was so choked by him that she couldn't say a word and was trembling with anger.

Yes, what am I now?

She was nothing more than a plaything, rejected by her husband and imprisoned in the west wing, yet even the servants could boss her around.

How ironic! How tragic!

But thinking of her sister who had been violated, she couldn't help but roar, "I want to see Lin Yi! He had the guts to steal my sister, but he doesn't have the guts to come out and see me?!"

"His Highness is so busy with state affairs, how could he have time to see a madwoman like you?"

"Make him come out!" Luo Qingyu pulled a gold hairpin from her hair and held it to her neck. "If he doesn't come out, I'll die here! I want to see what kind of reputation he, the Regent, will have for forcing his Princess to her death!"

Lin An sneered, "Heh, this old servant advises you to calm down. A princess committing suicide is a grave crime! Not only will the prince not forgive you, but even His Majesty will not spare your family!"

"I……"

Luo Qingyu didn't really want to die; she just wanted to scare the old servant.

But to everyone's surprise, the old man didn't care whether she lived or died at all.

Left with no other choice, Luo Qingyu smashed the gold hairpin on the ground, knelt down with a thud, and screamed at the top of her lungs, "Lin Yi! I beg you, spare my sister!"
