The yandere is too beautiful; the fake heiress sneaks kisses through the window every day.

In the evening, Jiang's mother returned home happily and was delighted to see her two well-behaved daughters sitting in the living room.

"Xiaobao, Mingyue, how was your day at home? Were you happy?" Jiang's mother looked at Jiang Yu with sparkling eyes, her face full of anticipation.

Jiang Yu took a bite of watermelon, looked up from the TV at her mother, and said softly, "She's alright, she's quite well-behaved."

Jiang's mother was pleasantly surprised, then turned to look at Jiang Mingyue, "Where's Mingyue?"

Jiang Mingyue took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and said, "Not bad, she's pretty perverted too."

Jiang's mother ignored the word "pervert" that Jiang Mingyue mentioned, and was overjoyed and gratified. "Good, good, you are all my precious daughters."

"Oh, right, look who's here." Jiang's mother smiled and stepped aside to let the people behind her through.

Jiang Yu and Jiang Mingyue then realized there was another person.

Jiang Yu glanced at it briefly before looking away and continuing to watch TV and enjoy the show.

Jiang Mingyue sized him up, her brow furrowing slightly. Noticing his gaze lingering on Jiang Yu, she quietly moved closer to Jiang Yu and whispered, "Who is he?"

"I don't know." Jiang Yu tilted her head and looked at the person. She felt that the person looked familiar but couldn't remember who it was. It was probably someone she didn't know well.

If you don't know him, why is he staring at you?

Just as the two were wondering, the man came up to Jiang Yu with a warm and friendly smile, looking intently at her, "Little Yu, it's been a long time."

Jiang Yu, who was holding a watermelon and chewing on it, didn't even look up.

After greeting Jiang Yu, he turned to look at Jiang Mingyue beside him, "You must be Mingyue. Hello, my name is Lu Zhenxi."

Upon hearing the name Lu Zhenxi, Jiang Mingyue suddenly remembered something.

She nodded without changing her expression, reached out and shook Lu Zhenxi's outstretched hand, and said calmly, "Jiang Mingyue."

As soon as Lu Zhenxi left, Jiang Mingyue couldn't wait to whisper in Jiang Yu's ear, gritting her teeth.

"You don't recognize your fiancé?!"

"What outrageous nonsense are you spouting?"

Jiang Mingyue's eyes widened, but Jiang Yu's eyes widened even more. The two stared at each other, bewildered.

"Considering this is your first offense, I'll let it go this time. Just don't let me hear such words again."

"I already have an empress," Jiang Yu said solemnly and seriously, her soft, fair face expressionless.

Jiang Mingyue was speechless.

I almost forgot, she's not very bright.

They still think they're the emperor.

"Xiao Lu, please have a seat." Mother Jiang warmly greeted Lu Zhenxi. "Xiao Lu, what brings you here today?"

"Grandpa's birthday banquet is in a couple of days, and I've come to deliver the invitations," Lu Zhenxi said gently, sitting upright on the sofa.

"I can have the invitations delivered, there's no need for you to make the trip." Mother Jiang was increasingly satisfied with Lu Zhenxi, and she couldn't stop smiling.

"No trouble at all, I haven't seen Xiaoyu in a long time either."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Jiang Yu again, his eyes smiling.

With her keen observation skills, Jiang Mingyue quickly noticed something was wrong. She glanced at Lu Zhenxi, then at Jiang Yu, whose attention was focused on the television.

He raised his eyebrows slightly.

"That's true, you two have had a good relationship since you were little." Mother Jiang covered her mouth and chuckled.

Lu Zhenxi smiled and, seeing that the little girl was staring at the TV and hadn't even glanced at him, he took out an exquisite jewelry box and handed it to Jiang Yu. "Xiao Yu, this is a gift I brought for you. See if you like it."

Jiang Yu finally shifted her attention from the television, slowly turning her head to look at Lu Zhenxi. She finally remembered who he was, but...

"How dare you! Who gave you the audacity to address me by my given name!"

Jiang Yu's shout startled everyone present, with Lu Zhenxi being the most bewildered, staring blankly at the suddenly angry girl.

He glanced at Jiang Yu, then at Jiang's mother who had turned away in embarrassment and guilt, and then at Jiang Mingyue who was awkwardly bowing her head and remaining silent. For some reason, he also felt a bit awkward.

Only the person who created the awkward situation wasn't embarrassed at all; in fact, they were a little angry.

"It seems Xiao Yu doesn't like this gift very much. I'll pick a better one for you next time." Lu Zhenxi thought that Jiang Yu was angry because the gift wasn't good enough, so he skillfully defused the awkward situation.

"Mingyue, this is your gift. Welcome home." Lu Zhenxi turned around and handed Jiang Mingyue another gift box.

"Thank you," Jiang Mingyue said softly as she accepted the gift.

Lu Zhenxi turned to exchange a few more pleasantries with Jiang's mother. During this time, his gaze would occasionally fall on Jiang Yu, as if he wanted to talk to her but didn't know how to start.

He didn't get to say a single word to her until he left, and he looked at Jiang Yu several times with lingering reluctance as he departed.

After seeing Lu Zhenxi off, Jiang's mother collapsed wearily on the sofa, feeling utterly exhausted.

Turning to look at his two daughters, he suddenly remembered something important. He sat up and hesitated, looking at them, unsure of how to begin.

When Jiang Yu reached for the watermelon on the plate again, Jiang Mingyue moved the plate away first.

The Empress, who failed to get the watermelon: "???"

He tilted his head, staring at Jiang Mingyue with a frown.

"What are you doing?"

"You can't eat anymore," Jiang Mingyue said, glancing at her indifferently.

"On what grounds?" the Empress protested.

Jiang Mingyue's brow twitched. Pointing at the fruit peels beside Jiang Yu, she gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words, "The peels we've eaten could be pieced together to make half a melon, and you're still eating them."

"Have you forgotten that the doctor told you not to eat too many cold foods?"

Does he not know he's sick?

Jiang Yu glanced at the mountain of watermelon rinds, her lips pursed in annoyance.

I only ate five, six, seven, or eight pieces, there weren't that many.

The two women wrestled over the watermelon, while Jiang's mother, looking around hesitantly, finally turned to Jiang Mingyue and asked, "Mingyue, what do you think of Xiao Lu?"

Jiang Mingyue asked with slight confusion, "What do you mean, 'how'?"

"So, what do you think of him as a person?" Jiang's mother asked cautiously.

Jiang Mingyue thought for a moment and casually replied, "It's alright."

As soon as she turned around, she saw someone secretly reaching out to steal a watermelon. She quickly reached out to stop them, and the two started fighting over the watermelon again, completely oblivious to the worry on Jiang's mother's face.

Jiang Yu got angry after failing to get a watermelon several times.

She's an empress, and it was one thing for her to be controlled by the empress before, but now she's being controlled by the real daughter. Doesn't she have any dignity?

It's disgusting.

She stood up and stormed toward the kitchen, and soon after, screams came from the kitchen.
