"Get out! All of you, get out! You are a bunch of dogs and slaves, you are all here to laugh at me!"

From the courtyard of Fang Youdao, the second son of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery, came his extremely angry and heart-wrenching roar. The voice was full of helplessness towards the current situation and resentment towards life.

In a nutshell: impotent rage.

Fang Zhenghua, Mrs. Fang and Fang Ruoruo, a family of three, stood at the gate of the yard with gloomy faces. They heard all kinds of noises of things falling and banging coming from the house, and porcelain was broken all over the floor.

"My poor son! Why did he have to suffer such misfortune?" Mrs. Fang wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

"Cry, cry, cry! You have the nerve to cry!" Fang Zhenghua scolded her, "You also went to the banquet at the Earl of Gaochang's mansion. How could you just watch the situation get worse and worse without stopping it?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Fang defended herself:

"Youdao is in the men's area, not with me. Can I keep an eye on him? Besides, everyone is here after the incident. Madam Gao Changbo is very tough. What can I do?"

Fang Ruoruo mustered up her courage and said:

"Dad, Mom, at a time like this our whole family should work together, stop blaming each other."

Fang Zhenghua's cold eyes fell on her face, and after a while he spoke:

"Now you are saying such things. When Princess Jiamin wanted to stand up for you, why didn't you stop her? Now your brother has lost his reputation and his spine has been broken. He will be paralyzed in bed for the rest of his life."

Fang Ruoruo knelt down directly: "It's my daughter's fault, please punish me, Daddy."

Madam Fang hurriedly pulled Fang Ruoruo up, like she was protecting her own child:

"Why are you teaching Ruoruo a lesson? Princess Jiamin acted on her own will. What does this have to do with Ruoruo? In my opinion, if you want to blame someone, you should blame Shi Lidie!"

"Before she came back to Beijing, our family was fine, our house was peaceful and stable, nothing happened. But as soon as she came back, everything became chaotic. First it was Grandma Gao, then Youdao. Our house has become a laughing stock in Beijing!"

"Ignorant woman!" Fang Zhenghua snorted coldly upon hearing this, and walked away swinging his sleeves.

Mrs. Fang looked at her husband's departing back and listened to her son's weak cries in the room. She felt as if her heart was being grabbed by a hand and was extremely uncomfortable.

And all this is Shi Lidie’s fault!

She is a disaster star and will bring disaster to the Earl's Mansion!

Madam Fang took a deep breath and turned to look at Ruoruo:

"Ruoruo, you must do your mother proud. For you, your mother even gave up her own flesh and blood. You must not let her down. It has been a while since you came of age. If possible, you must find a way to get the Third Prince to marry you."

"Only by marrying him can your status be elevated. Even Shi Lidie will have to respectfully call you the Third Prince's Consort when she sees you. Only if you hold this position firmly will you have the possibility of further advancement in the future."

After hearing this, Fang Ruoruo bit her lip and nodded:

"Mother, I understand. The Third Prince has been ordered to go out on business recently. I will talk to him about this matter when he comes back. At the palace banquet at the end of this year at the latest, I will make him ask the Emperor for permission to marry him."

"My dear daughter, I was right about you." Mrs. Fang patted her shoulder approvingly.

While the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion was in a mess and was trying to find ways to change the status quo, Shi Lidie was living a carefree life.

Brewing wine, growing vegetables, practicing painting...

A few days later, when the first batch of ingredients matured under the effect of accelerated growth nutrient solution, she entered the palace with her copied diet recipe and a large box of fresh vegetables.

The Queen was already prepared.

She wrote a letter to her parents, asking them to find a woman who knew medicine and send her to the palace to help her, responsible for checking whether all objects in Fengqi Palace, including food, are poisonous.

He also instructed the imperial kitchen not to prepare dishes for Fengqi Palace in the future, because Fengqi Palace had to open its own small kitchen and cook according to the recipes given by Shi Lidie.

Everything is ready, the east wind has arrived.

Shi Lidie presented the recipe to the female doctor:

"This is the menu. Please take a look at it and see if there is anything that Madam Majesty is not allowed to eat. Then cross it out. Majesty's health is the most important thing."

The female doctor took the recipe and put it aside:

"I'll take a closer look later."

At this moment, she was checking the ingredients sent by Shi Lidie. After looking at them several times, she said to the Queen:

"My lady, these ingredients are not poisonous and are very fresh. They must have been picked from the fields not long ago. Eating more fresh vegetables will be very beneficial to your health."

When the Queen saw this, she knew that Shi Lidie had put in a lot of effort. She asked Zhilan to take out the reward she had prepared long ago:

"Xiao Die, I am extremely grateful that you have thought so much of me. Now that you have a title and money from business, I don't have much to reward you with, so I picked out a few headgear for you from my private storehouse."

"These jewels were all worn by me when I was young. I cherish them very much and have kept them in good condition. Now I am giving them to you as a token of my gratitude for your dedication and efforts in taking care of my health."

"Because of you, I was able to open my heart and get out of this dead end. No matter whether I can recover and have a child in the future, you will always be my beloved junior."

After saying this, the Queen Mother signaled Zhilan and Yushu to give the things to Shi Lidie.

Zhilan, Yushu and three other palace maids each held a tray with different jewellery pieces on it, all in sets.

You know, in ancient times, mining was done manually, and gems were hard to come by. Making them into jewelry required craftsmen to polish them carefully, and it took a long time to get a piece of high-quality jewelry.

It is even more rare to see it appear as a set.

I didn’t expect the queen to be so generous and gave me five sets at once.

"Your Majesty, this is too much." Shi Lidie quickly refused, "I only have one body and one head, I can't wear so much."

The Queen heard this and said with a smile:

"I didn't ask you to wear it all at once. You have to wear it in rotation every day."

"I know that even though you were given the title of county lady, His Majesty only gave you some gold and silver. There is no elder in your house to take care of it for you, and you don't have anything decent to keep in your chest. Every time you attend a banquet, Miss Chen prepares it for you."

"But you can't always rely on Miss Chen. Although she is on good terms with you, she is not your manager after all. You should understand this in your heart."

"These things are suitable for young girls. I don't have a daughter, and my family doesn't have a niece that I like. Now that I see you like them, I'll give them all to you. You don't have to think they're too heavy, just keep them."

The Queen Mother has said so much, it would be ungrateful for Shi Lidie to refuse.

So she accepted the headgear and said to the Queen:

"My lady, just follow the recipes and ingredients I give you. I promise that your health will be much better before the end of the year."

"Then I'll take your good words." The queen smiled, a very gentle smile.
