With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

"Someone, bring the medicine!" The old lady's voice was devoid of any warmth.

Nangong Wu was taken aback when she heard this. She saw an old woman open a food box and take out a bowl of dark, medicinal soup.

Madam Zhou was shocked. "What do you intend to do to Chu Chu?"

"Zhou Chuchu is of questionable character. She steals other people's property and brings shame to my Chengping Marquis's mansion. Such a dishonest woman is not worthy of bearing the offspring of my Wu family."

The old lady's voice was cold and hard: "Force the medicine down her throat."

Several old women stepped forward, about to force-feed Zhou Chuchu the medicine.

"No! You can't do this to me..." Zhou Chuchu struggled desperately, her eyes filled with terror and anger as she questioned:

"This is my child! What right do you have to take my child away? Wu Jingting, this is your child too! How can you be so heartless..."

"Lord Chengping, you can't treat my daughter like this! Even tigers don't eat their cubs. Chuchu is carrying the offspring of your Wu family. Aren't you afraid of retribution and having your lineage cut off?" Madam Zhou never expected the Wu family to be so heartless.

To sever ties with the Zhou family, they even abandoned their child. How heartless!

The old lady remained unmoved, a ruthless glint in her shrewd eyes. "Everyone knows what your Zhou family did to Princess Runing. How dare you call yourself heartless?"

Without further hesitation, the old women held Zhou Chuchu down and forced her to drink the entire bowl of abortion medicine.

Wu Jingting knelt down, buried his head in his hands, and began to sob.

"What are you crying for? You spineless coward, hurry up and write a letter of divorce," the old lady said to him.

Nangong Wu never expected that the Wu family would abort Zhou Chuchu's child.

The abortion pills appeared so timely that the old lady must have already ordered someone to brew them as soon as she came out.

This old lady truly lives up to her reputation as a fighter in the inner quarters of the mansion; she possesses keen insight and ruthless methods to resolve matters detrimental to them.

The powerful clans value reputation and profit above all else. Regardless of whether Zhou Chuchu is punished in the end, she has already been tainted with a bad reputation. What does an unborn child mean to them?

The steward had already prepared paper, inkstone, brush, and ink, and placed them on a stone table.

"Wu Jingting, how can you be so heartless? If my child is lost, I will never let you go!" Zhou Chuchu cried out in despair.

"You've ended up like this, isn't it all your own doing? Who told you to be so greedy and overstep your bounds?" Wu Jingting roared at her.

This woman did something wrong, which is why she's in this predicament. And she still dares to blame others. He really misjudged her before.

He was more heartbroken than anyone else after losing his child.

"I'm greedy? What right do you have to say that about me? When I married into your Wu family, you all looked greedy when you saw how much dowry I brought. Now you're all so high and mighty..." Zhou Chuchu cursed in despair.

Seeing her madness, Wu Jingting's face turned ashen. He had lost all affection for her. He walked to the stone table, picked up a pen, and wrote a letter of divorce.

"My stomach... Mother, save the child..." Zhou Chuchu's face was contorted in pain as the abortion pill she had drunk took effect.

"You surnamed Wu, if anything happens to my daughter, the Zhou family will not let this go." Madam Zhou tried to rush over, but was held down by two constables.

"The Imperial Noble Consort has arrived!" Suddenly a shrill voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhou and Zhou Chuchu were immediately overjoyed.

"Auntie... help me..."

When the Wu family heard that the Imperial Noble Consort had arrived, their faces darkened, knowing that she was up to no good!

Nangong Wu looked over and saw a large group of people in palace attire approaching.

It seems that as soon as she left the Zhou family, Madam Zhou sent someone to the palace to fetch reinforcements.

"Princess!" Li Shuang couldn't help but worry.

"No need to worry." Nangong Wu sneered. She wasn't even afraid of Emperor Mingde, so why would she be afraid of one of the emperor's concubines?

The Imperial Noble Consort hurried over, supported by her maids.

Everyone knelt down, except for Nangong Wu, who stood there alone.

"Greetings to the Imperial Noble Consort! May she live a thousand years!"

Looking at the Imperial Noble Consort, Nangong Wu thought, "As expected of the most favored woman in the harem, she is still beautiful even though she is over forty. She is dressed in a gorgeous imperial concubine's palace dress and wears a pheasant crown, which makes her look extremely noble."

"Aunt, save me..." Zhou Chuchu struggled to break free from the two constables who were holding her down and ran towards the Imperial Concubine.

"Chuchu, what happened to you..." The Imperial Noble Consort's expression changed instantly when she saw the large bloodstains on Chuchu's skirt.

"Save my child..." Zhou Chuchu had just run to the Imperial Noble Consort when her body suddenly went limp and she collapsed.

Those around the Imperial Noble Consort were perceptive and quickly went to help Zhou Chuchu.

"Your Majesty, Miss Zhou has fainted."

"Chuchu, my Chuchu..." Madam Zhou also ran over, hugged Zhou Chuchu and cried with heartache.

"Sister, you're too late. Chu Chu was forcibly given an abortion drug by the Wu family. I'm afraid the baby can't be saved."

"What? The Marquis of Chengping's mansion is really audacious." The Imperial Noble Consort's face darkened, and her sharp gaze swept over everyone present, finally landing on Nangong Wu, who stood there abruptly.

"Why don't you kneel before me?"

Nangong Wu scoffed inwardly, "See? The original owner's identity was born to attract hatred."

"May I ask what rank Your Highness is?"

According to the ranks of the imperial concubines in the Western Yan Kingdom, the Empress Dowager and the Grand Empress Dowager were both of the highest rank; the Empress was of the first rank; and the Imperial Noble Consort was of the second rank.

The Prince of Zhenyuan is a prince of the highest rank, while she is a princess, the heir to the title of prince, and also a first-rank official. Even the emperor has granted her special permission not to kneel before him. Why should this woman make her kneel?

"How dare you speak to the Imperial Noble Consort like that?" A palace maid stepped forward and reprimanded her.

Nangong Wu's eyes turned cold. "Li Shuang."

Li Shuang stood up and slapped the palace maid across the face.

"Ah!" The palace maid was stunned by the slap. She was the head palace maid of the Imperial Noble Consort, and even the Empress's people dared not be disrespectful to her. How dare a mere guard from the Prince's mansion hit her?

"Your Highness, this servant was beaten by Princess Runing for no reason. You must do justice for me!" The head palace maid knelt down before the Imperial Noble Consort.

"Your Highness, your servant is ignorant. I, the Princess, will discipline her for you. You have no objection, do you?" Nangong Wu asked with a smile.

The Imperial Noble Consort looked her up and down. "You really have changed."

"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness." Nangong Wu's gaze fell on the palace maid, her voice indifferent:

"For the sake of your mistress, the Imperial Noble Consort, I will spare you this time. But if you dare to disrespect me again, I will cut out your tongue and feed it to the dogs."

The palace maid shuddered, feeling that she really dared to do such a thing.

Everyone present was stunned, and the palace maids and eunuchs behind the Imperial Noble Consort knelt down one after another.

They knew how terrifying the Imperial Noble Consort could be when she was angry; it could even lead to someone's death.

As expected, a shadow fell over the Imperial Noble Consort's eyes as she looked at Li Shuang, "You lowly servant, did I tell you to get up?"
