Listening to her daughter's heartfelt words, the pregnant Lady Hou went on a killing spree.

The servants pressed on Lin Wanwan's stomach for a while before she vomited up all the water in her stomach with a "plop".

Granny Yu and the others dared not stay any longer, fearing that Ji Yueru had other tricks up her sleeve.

The largest number of people in the entire Anshun Marquis's mansion now belong to the Ji family. A group of servants escorted the two little ones away.

Ji Yueru sneered. If it weren't for the fact that now was not the right time, she would definitely have killed Lin Wanwan.

As soon as the person left, a servant came in.

"Madam, Princess Changping has just sent you an invitation. She will be holding a poetry gathering at her residence tomorrow, and the messenger said that you must attend."

Ji Yueru took the invitation from the maid and casually tossed it aside, not expecting that Marquis Anshun would act so quickly.

She will definitely attend the poetry gathering.

Although Princess Changping was somewhat arrogant, she was still quite upright. If she wanted to deal with Marquis Anshun, she had to deal with Princess Changping first and prevent Princess Changping from becoming an ally of Marquis Anshun.

She didn't believe that Princess Changping would still like Marquis Anshun as before after knowing all his dirty deeds. Princess Changping wasn't some brainless romantic.

[Mother, if Marquis Anshun can use Princess Changping, so can you. Let's see who's more cunning.]

"An'er is right, that's what I think too."

At this time, Marquis Anshun was still with Princess Changping in her residence.

The master opens his mouth, and the servants run themselves ragged.

Princess Changping's poetry gathering was going to be a grand affair, but because of a few words from Marquis Anshun, she made the last-minute decision to hold it, and it was to be held tomorrow. The servants of the princess's residence were immediately thrown into a frenzy.

"Don't worry, Ji Shi is so ungrateful for marrying you and still wouldn't be content. Tomorrow I will definitely teach her a good lesson for you."

Marquis Anshun gazed at Princess Changping with deep affection.

"If it weren't for Lady Ji poisoning me back then and what happened later, I wouldn't have married her."

In truth, I have long admired the princess, but after marrying Lady Ji, I never dared to express my love to her.

But Ji Shi has truly disappointed me. Not only did she anger my mother to the point of paralysis, but she also orchestrated the incident where Yu Xue was cornered in a teahouse today.

Princess, think about it, Yu Xue is so charming and adorable, how could she do such an absurd thing?

After returning to the manor, I had someone investigate, and it was indeed Ji Shiqian's doing.

"I do not know why she did this. She has been married into the Marquis's household for two years, and my family has treated her quite well. I do not know why she would treat me like this."

There's a saying that goes something like this: if someone you like says that shit smells good, you'll agree without a doubt. That's exactly how Princess Changping is now; whatever Marquis Anshun says is right.

Princess Changping was heartbroken by the sight of Marquis Anshun.

He boldly hugged Anshunhou's waist from behind.

"Mu Feng, please don't be like this. It breaks my heart to see you like this."

Marquis Anshun's body stiffened for a moment, and his expression was even more unpleasant when Princess Changping couldn't see him.

He pried Princess Changping's hands open, then turned and looked at the leader of the Changping Association with deep affection.

"Princess, we can't do this. I'm a married man now, and I don't want others to talk about you."

Princess Changping was deeply moved.

"I don't care what others say, I only care what you think."

"But I care. My current wife is Lady Ji. If others know about our relationship, they will only criticize the princess."

I don't want you, Princess, to suffer even the slightest harm.

Marquis Anshun could charm women so much that they would give their lives for him, and Princess Changping was a perfect example of that.

She felt as if she were soaking in warm water, her whole body feeling warm and cozy.

"Don't worry, I will find a way to deal with the Ji family and I will definitely make her agree to a divorce from you."

Marquis Anshun was impatient. How could Princess Changping be so stupid? She couldn't even think of letting her people solve such a simple problem as the Ji family.

Doing too much will always leave traces. This time, he wanted to use Princess Changping to get rid of the Ji family, which can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

In the end, even if the government investigated, they could only trace it back to Princess Changping; it had nothing to do with him.

Since this path was blocked, Marquis Anshun had no choice but to take another route, as long as Lady Ji died at the hands of Princess Changping's people.

"Your Highness, most of the people in the manor are from the Ji family. I am really afraid. May I borrow your personal guards?"

"After I divorce the Ji family, I will return her to Your Highness."

Princess Changping didn't think much of it; she was also worried about Lin Mufeng's safety.

"What you're worried about isn't impossible."

"Alright then, I'll give you two bodyguards, both top-notch fighters. From now on, you won't have to worry about your safety in the manor."

Marquis Anshun was overjoyed.

"Your Highness, I thank you."

Princess Changping reached out and covered Marquis Anshun's mouth.

"From now on, don't call me Princess, call me Changping."

After saying this, Princess Changping smiled shyly, which made Marquis Anshun feel very uncomfortable.

If a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl were to do this, she would surely appear charming and adorable. But Princess Changping should not forget that she is twenty-four this year.

A middle-aged woman doing this will only make people feel uncomfortable.

When Marquis Anshun left Princess Changping's residence, he was followed by two guards given to him by the princess. Upon returning to his residence, Marquis Anshun gave orders to the two guards.

"Go and kill the Ji family tonight."

The two were taken aback. When they left the manor, their master only told them to follow Marquis Anshun and obey him in everything. Could this also be their master's intention?

"Her Highness has given you to me, so from now on you must listen to me."

The two men respectfully withdrew.

As night deepened, Qinghe Courtyard remained on high alert.

Today, Marquis Anshun returned to his residence with two unfamiliar guards. Considering where he went today, it's obvious that they were given to him by Princess Changping.

Since becoming the Minister of Justice is no longer an option, and the Marquis of Xin'an Shun is likely to kill her, he probably won't wait even a day and will act tonight. She has to be on guard.

Of the twenty new guards who arrived at the manor, eighteen were stationed around Qinghe Courtyard, while the remaining two were secretly sent to protect Lin Tianjue.

As for whether thieves would attempt to assassinate her in the middle of the night, she didn't care if they died; it would be better if they did.

The royal guards were highly skilled, and although there were eighteen guards protecting the area around Qinghe Courtyard, Ji Yueru still felt unsafe and carried a lot of poison with her.

[Mother, don't worry. I can sense that two of the eighteen guards are very strong. The guards from Princess Changping's residence are definitely no match for them.]

Unexpectedly, among the people that Steward Xu brought this time were some experts. It must have been quite a challenge for Steward Xu.

Ji Yueru didn't think much of what An'an said, only that Steward Xu had done a good job.

An'an only knew that they were good at kung fu, but she didn't know where they came from, just like Ji Yueru.

The two brothers, Mo Wen and Mo Da, who were guarding the gate of the courtyard, looked up in the same direction.

"They're here."
