She cried and begged for a long time but it was of no use. Finally, she gave them the only pearl hairpin left on her head, and they reluctantly told her that the prince was not in the palace and had not returned since yesterday.

Brother Yu accompanied Shen Nanxing back home in the morning, but now Shen Nanxing has brought people to drive her out of the farmhouse, and Brother Yu did not show up, which means that Brother Yu is no longer in the Nanyang Marquis Mansion.

He is not in Prince Jing's Mansion either, so where is he?

Shen Zhiyi had no idea what to do, but he couldn't wander around the streets in his underwear, so he could only take a small path and make a big detour, and finally returned to Nanyang Marquis Mansion through the back door.

In a state of disgrace, he ran straight to Aunt Qiu's Qiutang Courtyard.

Along the way, she was inevitably seen by the maids and servants who were working and pointing fingers at her, but she didn't care and just covered her face and ran quickly to Qiutang Garden.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Aunt Qiu sitting in front of a bronze mirror removing her makeup. After removing the thick makeup, the red and swollen slap marks on her face were revealed.

Shen Zhiyi's eyes widened in shock. She rushed over and threw herself into Aunt Qiu's arms: "Mother, what happened to your face? Who is it? Who dares to hit you?"

In this mansion, Dad dotes on Mom the most, Mrs. Xu is weak, and Grandfather is very arrogant. Everyone else respects Mom. Who is so bold as to hit her mother?

Aunt Qiu was startled to see her daughter in a middle-length dress, with messy black hair draped over her shoulders, without even a hairpin on her head. Even her usually fair and pretty face was dirty, and she looked extremely miserable.

Her tears suddenly fell.

She didn't answer her daughter, but quickly stood up, took her daughter's hand, and helped her sit on the bed, her face full of worry: "Yier, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly come back like this? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the prince?"

"mother!"

When Shen Zhiyi heard her mother's sincere concern, the emotions she had been trying to hold on to just now completely collapsed.

He hugged Aunt Qiu and burst into tears.

"I...I was kicked out by Shen Nanxing!"

Aunt Qiu was furious when she heard this: "Why did she kick you out? You don't live in Prince Jing's mansion, so why did she kick you out?"

"Does Prince Jing know about this?"

Shen Zhiyi continued to cry: "Brother Yu...Brother Yu, shouldn't he know?"

"If he knew, how could he watch Shen Nanxing humiliate me like this? She...she must have kept it a secret from Brother Yu..."

She cried and sobbed, "What about you? What happened to your face? When you went to look for your daughter before, you were fine..."

Aunt Qiu's eyes flashed with jealousy, her fists clenched, and her long nails dug into her flesh: "Shen Nanxing!"

"You can bully me, but you should never, ever bully my daughter! Do you really think my king, Xia Qiu, is easy to bully?"

Shen Zhiyi's sobs were choked in her throat, her dark eyes filled with disbelief: "Mother? You, your face...was hit by Shen Nanxing?"

Although Aunt Qiu was angry, she still wrung out a wet handkerchief to wipe her daughter's face: "No, it's the two maids beside her. They seem to be very skilled in martial arts."

"By the way, where did she get two such powerful maids?"

Shen Zhiyi lowered his eyes, and his long, moist eyelashes hid the jealousy in his eyes.

"Brother Yu asked the housekeeper to buy it for her."

"Prince Jing? Why would Prince Jing buy her two maids with such excellent kung fu skills?"

Aunt Qiu couldn't believe it: "I've never seen such a powerful maid serving you in all these years!"

When she thought of the two maids, her cheeks began to swell and ache again, and even the feeling of confinement in her back was still so clear that she felt a little breathless.

"I do not know either."

Shen Zhiyi's voice was low and hoarse. She felt like her heart was blocked and she was almost unable to breathe.

Brother Yu had said before that he was going to marry Shen Nanxing. Although he didn't like Shen Nanxing and only saw her as a chess piece with some value, he still had to give her the respect she deserved before she fulfilled her role as a chess piece.
