Jiang Zhixia stood at the door, holding a large pile of cake boxes, looking completely bewildered.

The person delivering the cake was a rabbit-like boy, whose cheeks were flushed for some reason.

He lowered his head shyly, "Your Highness, this was sent by order of the Crown Prince. From now on, different flavors of cake will be prepared and sent every week for you to try."

Jiang Zhixia suddenly realized: It was a gift from my older brother?

Who would have thought that the Iceberg Brother actually has such a thoughtful side?

The royal family really dotes on the original owner.

She smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, you've worked hard!"

The boy's cheeks flushed even redder. He whispered, "It's nothing," and left, clutching his chest.

Oh my god, the princess is so beautiful... Who's spreading rumors that she's spoiled and domineering? She's clearly very gentle!

Jiang Zhixia happily divided the cake into two portions, leaving three pieces for Lu Jue and keeping the rest for herself.

She didn't lie to Jiang Ting; she really did love sweets. In her past life, when she was a beast of burden, sweets were her only comfort!

Lu Jue sat quietly at the dining table, gazing in her direction.

He felt that his eyes seemed to be getting better.

Previously, I could only vaguely make out the human shape, but now I can judge all the female's movements.

It's still not clear.

"Lu Jue, I'll save you three pieces of cake. It's too sweet; you can't eat it all the time..."

He watched as the princess put the cake in the refrigerator, giving him instructions as she did so.

I wanted to tell her about the condition of my eyes, but just as I opened my mouth, there was a noise at the door.

"Princess! Are you home?"

They both turned their heads at the same time.

Jiang Zhixia stared in disbelief at Zeng Wenwen, who swaggered in.

Tsk, how could she forget that this guy has access to this villa?

The original owner treated her as her only friend and shared almost everything with her.

As soon as Zeng Wenwen entered the room, she immediately saw Jiang Zhixia and Lu Jue sitting next to her.

Her eyes widened instantly. "Princess! You actually brought this trash home?!"

She rushed over, as if Jiang Zhixia had committed some grave error, "What will Brother Bai think of you coming into contact with something like this?!"

The moment she approached, Lu Jue immediately stood up and blocked Jiang Zhixia's path.

He instinctively adopted a wary posture.

Jiang Zhixia rubbed her forehead.

In the entire empire, only Zeng Wenwen would dare to make a princess uphold traditional female virtues for a male.

Seeing that Lu Jue still dared to block her way, Zeng Wenwen raised her hand without any politeness, "You rude wretch! Get out of my way!"

The slap never landed.

Jiang Zhixia grabbed her wrist.

He had raised his big, well-behaved wolfhound for several days, so why did she hit him the moment they met?

He shoved her away, scoffed, and said coldly, "You dare lay a hand on my people?"

Zeng Wenwen stumbled a step after being thrown, looked up in surprise, and asked, "What did you say? Your people?"

Lu Jue's previously tense body gradually relaxed a little. He lowered his head, pursed his lips, and a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Zhixia thought he was frightened, so she whispered to comfort him, "It's okay, I'll handle it."

When Zeng Wenwen saw her speaking softly to Lu Jue, she was even more incredulous.

"Princess! Are you out of your mind? Why are you protecting a sinner? You've really been associating with such filthy people?!"

The two characters “骯髒” are almost identical to Bai Zhiyu’s.

Jiang Zhixia looked at her sternly, "Zeng Wenwen, if you dare say another word, get out of here!"

She paused for a moment after speaking, then suddenly laughed: "No, you can't leave yet."

Zeng Wenwen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jiang Zhixia's expression change: she knew it, Jiang Zhixia couldn't live without her, she was her only friend!

She raised her chin, adopting a lecturing posture: "Princess, you went too far just now, didn't you? Even if you apologize now, I won't forgive you easily."

Jiang Zhixia: "...?"

Zeng Wenwen continued, "Also, I think you went too far with your 'playing hard to get' tactic this time! How could you give up the position of your husband to someone else? Even if you explain it to Brother Bai later, he'll still be angry! He's such a proud person..."

Lu Jue was taken aback.

He guessed that the "Brother Bai" mentioned by the strange female was the male he had thrown out a few days ago.

But... Masao?

Zeng Wenwen continued her incessant nagging: "Brother Bai has suffered a lot because of you lately, he must already hate you, not to mention you're getting so close to the Sinner! Princess, you'll lose him forever if you keep doing this!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Zhixia with a determined expression.

In the past, whenever she said that, Jiang Zhixia would do anything to please her and get her to give her advice.

But this time, things were different from what she had imagined.

Jiang Zhixia scoffed, "What's there to regret about losing that kind of gigolo?"

It should be Bai Zhiyu who lost the original owner; that would be a real pity.

She smiled and extended her hand. "Let's put everything else aside and talk about yourself. Are you here to return the money?"

Damn it, she actually forgot about that!

She was short of money recently, and Zeng Wenwen hadn't appeared in front of her at all, so she didn't even remember her.

These fake sisters borrowed a lot of money from the original owner, and the clothes and jewelry they took were all very valuable!

In fact, since the banquet, the Empress Dowager had generously given her five million in pocket money, so she was no longer short of money.

But those are two different things!

Refusing to pay back debts is a heinous crime!

Zeng Wenwen thought she had misheard: "What...what did you say?"

Jiang Zhixia smiled politely: "Pay back the money! I remember you borrowed more than a million gold coins from me, as well as the clothes and jewelry you said you borrowed temporarily. You know I never use things that other people have used, so just give me cash for them."

She looked down and calculated, then looked up and smiled even more brightly, "A total of three million six hundred thousand gold coins!"

Zeng Wenwen pointed to herself in disbelief, stammering, "Princess, I'm your friend!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhixia's expression was even more exaggerated than hers: "Didn't we break off our friendship? Besides, does being a friend mean you don't have to pay back the money?"

Zeng Wenwen's face turned pale and then flushed.

She finally realized that Jiang Zhixia had really changed.

But why?! Everything was fine just a few days ago!

She suddenly turned her head and glared fiercely at Lu Jue.

Could it be because of him?!

She pointed at Lu Jue, her voice shrill, "Princess! Has this lowly wretch bewitched you?! You're a princess! How can you listen to a slave?!"

Jiang Zhixia's smile vanished, and her face turned cold.

Lu Jue raised his eyes and looked at her fiercely.

Zeng Wenwen was startled by the fierce look in the other person's eyes.

This slave dares to be mean to her?!

Jiang Zhixia's tone turned cold. "Zeng Wenwen, show him some respect, or I won't just be asking you to pay back the money."

After she finished speaking, she noticed Zeng Wenwen's terrified expression and subconsciously turned around.

Lu Jue stood obediently behind her, looking up at her innocently with a blank expression in his eyes.

Jiang Zhixia became even angrier.

Those two bastards start slutting and cursing the moment they meet!

How old is my child? What if he suffers psychological trauma?!

She turned her head sharply and said, "Give me back the money! If you don't, I'll have my brother go to the Zeng family himself. Anyway, my brother is in the palace right now, it's just a matter of a word from me."

Zeng Wenwen's face paled even more.

If Jiang Ting makes a move... the Zeng family is finished!

With trembling hands, she pulled out her personal terminal and said with difficulty, "I... I don't have that many right now, I only have these..."

"bite--"

Jiang Zhixia glanced at her mobile phone and saw that one million gold coins had been deposited into her account.

Zeng Wenwen, who had been so arrogant just moments before, pleaded pitifully with red eyes, "This is what I saved up for so long, the rest..."

She wanted to say, "Let's forget about the rest; the princess certainly doesn't need this little bit of money."

Jiang Zhixia happily accepted the payment and replied, "Okay, the rest can be paid in installments, but I'll only give you one month. If you can't raise the money, I won't be so polite."

Zeng Wenwen turned pale and shut up.

Jiang Zhixia took the money, pointed, and said, "Alright, you can go now."

Zeng Wenwen was so angry that she wiped away her tears and turned to run away.

How could she dare to stay!

After everyone left, Jiang Zhixia sat on the sofa with her legs crossed and laughed.

"Hahaha, this is awesome!" It's so great to be a princess!

Lu Jue walked over and squatted down beside her.

"Princess...have you chosen a husband yet?"
