After Tang Qi hurried over to understand the whole story, he slowly said, "To be honest, Princess, I do have a five-courtyard house for you to choose from. However, this courtyard has a special feature: it's right next to the residence of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."

Hearing the words "Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel," Tang Wenshu couldn't help but fall into deep thought. What kind of connection was there? Why did his elder brother mention this matter so deliberately? Just as he was pondering this, he heard Tang Qi continue, "The family that the eldest daughter of the Liu family, Liu Yixin, married into was the Chen family."

Tang Wenshu pondered, "We were only engaged at the beginning of the year. According to the normal marriage process, we shouldn't be married until next year. But the eldest daughter of the Liu family is marrying off in such a hurry. What unknown reason is there?"

She couldn't help but think of the gossip from the school a few days ago—the Liu family's old lady had gone to the Chen family in a rage and staged a scene. This incident had caused quite a stir at the time, with people everywhere talking about it. Perhaps it was because of that farce that the Liu family's eldest daughter had to marry hastily to quell the repercussions of the incident. But the specific circumstances were probably best known to the people involved.

When this news reached Zhu Jiahui, she felt no wavering. It was as if the incident six months prior, when she was wrongly accused and ultimately forced to marry far away in Yangzhou, had vanished from her mind without a trace, unable to stir up even the slightest emotional ups and downs. Her face was as calm as water as she spoke softly, "It's okay. Let's choose this courtyard. Thank you for your trouble." Then, Zhu Jiahui slowly stood up and bowed to Tang Qiyingying, expressing her gratitude. "Thank you, Mr. Tang, for your help. I'm truly sorry to have troubled you today."

With that, the group turned towards the quiet courtyard with great momentum. Zhu Jiahui and several other noble ladies sat elegantly in their ornate carriages, while Tang Qi rode a majestic horse, leading the way with a dashing demeanor.

As they passed a bustling street, Zhu Jiahui casually lifted the car window curtain and her eyes were instantly drawn to a familiar dessert shop. This shop held many fond memories for her, a place she once frequented. Even six months later, it was still bustling with activity.

Just as she was about to draw the curtains, she heard a sharp, piercing voice from outside the carriage. "Oh, isn't this Princess Jiahui, the one who wrongfully accused me of being caught red-handed and then married off to a distant land? How come your prestigious title as a princess still exists?" The speaker was Liu Yixin. She had just left the mansion for a leisurely stroll to unwind. Ever since marrying into the Chen family, she'd been constantly bullied by that vixen, Ma Yiqing. Today, she finally had the chance to go shopping with her husband, a chance to relax and unwind.

"Madam, the princess is of noble status, and we cannot easily offend her," Chen Junjie, standing beside Liu Yixin, quickly reminded her softly. He and Liu Yixin had known each other since childhood, and could be said to be childhood sweethearts. After marriage, their relationship was even more inseparable. Chen Junjie always put his wife first and cared for her with all his heart.

"It's okay. Her family doesn't want her anymore. What's a poor princess?" Liu Yixin said shamelessly. She'd been busy with her wedding recently, staying indoors and oblivious to current events. Chen Junjie, however, felt the princess was merely taking credit for someone else's achievements. How could a married woman wipe out the pirates?

"Shut up! What's the crime for slandering the princess?" Liang Qiuhua jumped off the carriage, stood in front of Liu Yixin and the other person, and slapped them in the face.

"Wow, this sister is so cool!" Tang Wenshu applauded and jumped off the carriage. She stood in front of Liu Yixin, who was covering her face. After comparing their heights, she jumped up and slapped her back. "Now both sides are even. No need to thank me."

"You, you guys! Husband, are you just going to watch them bully me? I was so blind to marry a useless thing like you. You didn't dare to fight back when Ma Yiqing bullied you in the mansion, and you didn't fight back when this poor princess bullied you outside?" Liu Yixin shouted angrily.

Liang Qiuhua sneered: "Humph, who do you think you are? Are you worthy enough to challenge the princess?"

Tang Wenshu said with a grin, "Yeah, you bitch, you still dare to scold us? Do you believe that I will sell you to a brothel?"

Tang Qi rode his horse quickly over. He looked at Zhu Jiahui and shouted, "Shushu, stop messing around. Don't say things like that."

After hearing this, Liu Yixin was immediately furious. She pointed at Zhu Jiahui and cursed, "What a shitty princess! She's clearly a down-and-out princess. Maybe one day she'll be demoted to a commoner." After that, she grabbed Chen Junjie's ear and said angrily, "Fight back!"

Chen Junjie secretly groaned inwardly. He knew he couldn't stand up to Tang Qi, especially now that Zhu Jiahui had become a princess. Faced with the current situation, he felt powerless. He simply stood in front of Liu Yixin to prevent her from getting hurt further.

At this time, Tang Wenshu said to Tang Qi, "Brother, look at how filthy her mouth is! How can we not teach her a lesson? The princess can't be slandered for nothing." Then, turning to Dai Qiuhua, she ordered, "Sister Qiuhua, slap her in the face. Do whatever you want. She's the princess's enemy."

After hearing Tang Wenshu's words, Dai Qiuhua emboldened herself and began punching and kicking Liu Yixin. She carefully controlled her strength to avoid causing serious injury. After all, as the princess's enemy, Liu Yixin's status must be high. If she accidentally injured her, it could bring her into trouble.

Seeing that Liu Yixin had been taught a lesson, Zhu Jiahui gently lifted the curtain and said calmly, "Let's go." From beginning to end, Zhu Jiahui remained silent in the face of Liu Yixin's provocations. This calm and indifferent attitude seemed to tell Liu Yixin that the gap between them was unbridgeable. Her former rival was now someone she could only look up to, and her provocations seemed so ridiculous and insignificant in front of her. This was undoubtedly the heaviest blow to Liu Yixin, making her deeply aware of her own powerlessness and insignificance.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She felt a tightness in her chest, as if something was blocking her breath. She tried to calm down, but the anger and resentment surged over her like a tide, leaving her unable to control it. Suddenly, her vision went dark, and she fell backwards involuntarily.

"My wife! My wife!" Chen Junjie watched in horror as Liu Yixin fainted. He held her in his arms and prevented her from falling to the ground.
