With one hand she heals, and the other hand she kills, the princess vows to rule the world!

Meng Jiayue's face was filled with humiliation, and her eyes were filled with viciousness.

"You're talking nonsense! Yefang City is clearly my hard work!"

"You are selfish, ambitious, and narrow-minded! You are a bunch of ungrateful people!"

"I've done my best over the years, but what about you? What do you think of me?"

"Baili Ruyun, she only has the title of princess, but she doesn't have the intelligence and wisdom to be the lord of a city! If it weren't for me, how could she have gained such fame and praise in Yiyefang City?"

"I should be the master of this Yifang City!"

Li Zuo looked at her, his face filled with disbelief. This Meng Jiayue, is she crazy? How could she say such a thing!

"A lowly, homeless dog actually wants to be the master of Yefang City? Meng Jiayue, should I call you foolish, or should I call you delusional?"

A cold and sarcastic voice sounded outside the teahouse, and Meng Jiayue's face changed instantly.

When she turned around, she saw Baili Ruyun standing outside the teahouse with a cold air, staring at her quietly.

Baili Ruyun walked in, the golden hairpin and jade pendant on her head swaying gently, with a touch of nobility and elegance unique to aristocrats.

She just stood there, and she made Meng Jiayue next to her pale in comparison.

"Back then, this princess felt sorry for you and, out of kindness, rescued you. Throughout those years, I treated you as a friend, sharing my struggles with you and discussing governance strategies for Yifang City with you."

"Meng Jiayue, tell me honestly, haven't I been kind enough to you?"

"In this Princess's Mansion, apart from this Princess, her husband, and the County Lady, who doesn't obey your orders?"

"In this Yifang City, you are second only to three people and above ten thousand people!"

"From an ordinary civilian, I transformed into a rare existence in this world. Even with this, you are still not satisfied?"

Meng Jiayue lowered her head slightly. The more she listened, the more unwilling she became. A hint of intense madness even appeared on her face. "Should I be satisfied?!"

"Half of the achievements of Yifang City belong to me! Why should I be below three people? Why can't I stand above those millions of people?"

Seeing her madness as if she was risking everything, Li Zuo subconsciously hid Baili Ziyuan behind him.

He was afraid that the crazy woman would lose her mind and do something bad to the child.

"Why?" Baili Ruyun also thought she was crazy for coming up with such an idea!

"Because you are just a commoner, a frog living at the bottom of the well who can never see how vast the sky is!"

"If I were not a princess, if I had not saved you, would you have been able to interfere in the affairs of this city?"

"Also, do you think those suggestions you put forward are good ways to govern the world? If it weren't for this princess handling all the difficulties in the aftermath and improving the system, do you think those naive ideas of yours would have come to fruition?!"

"I keep you here because you're useful, because you're a true commoner. Through you, I can learn what commoners and women need, and that's why you'll always be in the Princess's Mansion!"

"I can't believe it! A mere strategist actually dreamed of becoming the master of Yefang City! No wonder you poisoned me and suggested I seek medical treatment in Kyoto... So you wanted me to return to the capital and never come back, so you could use your status as a consort to 'enter the palace' and officially take over Yefang City, right?"

Meng Jiayue's face turned pale instantly when her thoughts were exposed.

How did she know that I had poisoned her?

"What?! How dare you poison the eldest princess? When did it happen?" Li Zuo was shocked, with anger burning in his wide eyes.

He had always believed that the humiliating things the princess did to Meng Jiayue were because she drugged him in an attempt to seduce him and destroy their relationship. Unexpectedly, there were so many other things going on!

"I do not know what you're talking about!"

Meng Jiayue avoided his gaze and subconsciously denied it.

She could never admit to poisoning the princess! If she did, she would definitely die!

"Don't you know?" The Third Princess called out, "Madame Liu!"

Nanny Liu was the Third Princess's wet nurse. She had reminded the Third Princess many times before to be careful of Meng Jiayue, but Baili Ruyun was absorbed in political affairs at that time and had no time to think about Nanny Liu's words.

Nanny Liu walked in, her drooping eyelids filled with a cold and murderous look, as if she wanted to tear Meng Jiayue apart alive.

She took out an oil-paper bag from her sleeve and threw it hard on Meng Jiayue's seemingly weak face.

"How dare you poison our princess, Meng Jiayue, you are so bold!"

"Back then, I should have told Her Royal Highness the Princess to leave you alone and let you be chopped to pieces! I wouldn't have let you turn our Princess Mansion upside down!"

Li Zuo picked up the medicine bag on the ground, his hands and feet cold, "Is this the medicine you gave the princess?"

"I originally thought that your previous behavior was just a momentary misstep, but I didn't expect that you are such a vicious person!!"

"How ridiculous! I actually thought about asking the princess for mercy on your behalf! I'm so naive!"

Li Zuo once again threw the medicine bag hard at Meng Jiayue's face, as if he was also hitting the compassion he once had.

After being "humiliated" one after another, Meng Jiayue stopped pretending completely. Her previously aggrieved and weak face suddenly became sinister and mean.

"I'm a vicious person? It's obviously you who are looking down on me!!"

"Why were you born a princess? Why can you stand above everyone else and look down on them without doing anything?"

"Why am I so diligent and dedicated, and have done so much for the people of Yefang City, yet they only remember you?"

"I don't agree!"

"I can not be reconciled!!"

"I believe that if I were in your position, I would be able to do better than you!!"

Li Zuo was so angry that he laughed.

This was the first time in his life that he had seen someone so shameless and boastful!

"Meng Jiayue, from what you just said, I can tell you're nothing but a frog in a well! You have no idea how big the world is! And you don't even understand what propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame are!!"

"You can come up with these ridiculous ideas only because the eldest princess has given you too much power, which has inflated your ambitions!"

"You're so ignorant, do you believe me? If I let you go back to the city now, you won't even survive ten days!"

Meng Jiayue sneered, "Stop being so self-righteous and pretentious!"

"If I, Meng Jiayue, can thrive in the Princess's Mansion, I can also thrive in the market!"
