She paused and continued, "Don't you also like Shanshan very much and praise her for her intelligence? If she could be chosen as the empress of the dynasty, wouldn't it bring even greater glory to our Yue family?"

Yue Zhan didn't expect his mother to be so greedy. He knew that Madam Hou would never find her for no reason.

He scolded sternly, "You are truly delusional. Do you think anyone can be the Queen Mother of the Nation? You are not bringing glory to the Yue Family at all. You are clearly harming the Yue Family. Fortunately, you failed. Otherwise, you would be a sinner of the Yue Family!"

Old Madam Yue felt extremely aggrieved and she almost fainted from crying.

At this time, Ling'er had already brought the carriage into the inner courtyard. She hurriedly said, "Madam, shall we go?"

Without saying a word, Lin Yiwan helped the eldest princess up and walked quickly outside.

Madam Yue's expression suddenly changed. She hurriedly tried to stop him, "What are you doing? You can't take the princess away. She's my daughter-in-law!"

"Yue Zhan!" Lin Yiwan's sharp voice was filled with undisguised murderous intent!

Yue Zhan shuddered all over. He quickly walked up to Old Madam Yue and said, "Mother, the Marquis's wife wants to take care of Her Royal Highness the Princess. You don't have to stop her!"

Madam Yue slapped her face and cried, "Everyone knows that I, an old woman, have moved into the Princess's residence to take care of Her Highness. She is trying to force me to death. I won't live anymore. Rather than being accused of harming my daughter-in-law in the future, it's better for me to die now!"

As she said this, she started to throw a tantrum and tried to bang her head against the wall.

Yue Zhan subconsciously wanted to stop her, but Lin Yiwan scolded him, "Let her do it!"

Madam Yue's whole body suddenly froze, and she rolled her eyes rapidly, looking extremely calculating.

Lin Yiwan taunted, "Wasn't Madam Yue going to die? Why don't you dare? You took such good care of my elder sister, and now she's in this state. You truly deserve to die!"

Cheng Jiaojiao anxiously defended herself, "Madam Hou, you can't say such things. My aunt has worked so hard to take care of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and even personally fed her medicine. Where else in the world can you find a mother-in-law as kind as her?"

Lin Yiwan raised her hand and slapped Cheng Jiaojiao hard, causing her mouth and nose to bleed and her face to swell.

She covered her face and accused: "You, why did you hit me?"

Lin Yiwan said coldly, "Just because you're committing treason, who the hell do you think you are? How dare you speak so arrogantly in front of this lady?"

Yue Zhan knew Lin Yiwan's methods best, and he was really afraid that Cheng Jiaojiao would be beaten to death.

He spoke hurriedly, "Madam Hou, my cousin doesn't know how to behave. I apologize to you on her behalf. I'll have someone teach her the rules. She won't dare to offend you again!"

Lin Yiwan said in a deep voice: "Yue Zhan, don't forget your identity!"

After saying this, she turned around and left quickly with the eldest princess.

After watching their backs disappear, Old Lady Yue jumped up and cursed, "What kind of arrogance is she showing off? Even if she is the Marquis's wife, she should just be the head of the Zhan Yi Marquis's mansion. Why does she have to show off in the Princess's mansion?"

Cheng Jiaojiao also spoke aggrievedly: "Yes, cousin, she came up and slapped me, my face hurt so much!"

Yue Zhan looked at her with a complicated expression: "You asked for it. Are you being so presumptuous in front of the Marquis' wife? Don't forget that she is of noble status. She is the daughter of the current Prince Li!"

Cheng Jiaojiao bit her lip hard and spoke after a moment: "My aunt and I took care of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Even if we didn't have any credit, we worked hard. But she just took her away without any regard for your dignity, cousin!"

Yue Zhan smiled bitterly: "How can I have any dignity? I am just a guard beside the eldest princess. You have received her favor, so you shouldn't show off in front of the Marquis's wife like this!"

Suddenly, he thought of something and quickly lowered his voice to ask, "The Princess's mental disorder has nothing to do with you, right? Did you tamper with her medicine?"

Madam Yue denied it without hesitation: "No, those medicines were all prescribed by the Imperial Hospital. How could we have tampered with them? Don't make blind guesses!"

Cheng Jiaojiao also echoed: "That's right, she is the eldest princess of the dynasty. Even if we have the courage of the sky, we dare not harm her secretly!"

Yue Zhan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. If they find out about you, I won't be able to protect you. The Marquis's wife won't tolerate even the slightest bit of sand in her eyes. She will definitely not let it go!"

When these words were spoken, both Madam Yue and Cheng Jiaojiao shuddered.

At this time, Lin Yiwan had already brought the eldest princess and her daughter into the residence of Marquis Zhan Yi. When she looked at the skinny and unrecognizable baby, her eyes suddenly turned red.

Ling'er said distressedly, "She must be hungry. Look at how weak her cry is, just like a kitten!"

Lin Yiwan instructed: "Go find a strong wet nurse and have her take good care of the child!"

Ling'er took the order and left, and soon brought the wet nurse to take the baby away.

Lin Yiwan personally prepared medicine for the princess, but when she brought it to her, she complained, "Who are you? What are your intentions in bringing me to this place?"

Lin Yiwan wanted to explain, but she suddenly pulled out the sharp gold hairpin from her hair and stabbed it towards her neck without hesitation.

In a flash, Zhan Yan rushed over, grabbed the eldest princess' wrist, and snatched her gold hairpin away.

"Ah!" The eldest princess let out a shrill scream.

Her wrist hurt badly, but she still forced herself to curse: "How dare you!"

Zhan Yan stared at her with a frown, feeling that her eyes were not like those of a normal person.

He asked doubtfully, "Wanwan, what happened to her?"

Lin Yiwan spoke in a cryptic voice, "They say she's gone insane and doesn't recognize people anymore. Luckily, Miaomiao and I went to the Princess's Mansion today, otherwise, we'd probably be kept in the dark for a long time!"

Zhan Yan's expression suddenly changed. He didn't expect that the eldest princess would encounter such an accident.

He spoke subconsciously: "Wasn't she fine when we left the capital before?"

Lin Yiwan also had no idea what had happened in the princess's mansion during the time they were away from the capital.

She sighed helplessly: "All the old servants in the Princess's Mansion are gone. Yue Zhan said that it was my eldest sister who sent them away, but I don't believe it. I suspect that the Yue family of the Qingyang Marquis' Mansion wants to control her!"

Zhan Yan nodded: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated. The best thing to do now is to cure her madness!"

Lin Yiwan thought so too, but the eldest princess was very emotional and refused to take the medicine.

At this time, the eldest princess began to clamor again: "Let me go! You have the audacity to imprison me! I will order people to chop off your heads!"

Lin Yiwan raised the needle and stabbed her unconscious.
