When Xu Yuerao saw the princess approaching from a distance, she immediately stood up straight, tidied her sideburns, and made sure she maintained a dignified demeanor.

Fei Wuxuan's eyes lit up. He finally had the chance to meet the Princess. It seemed that he would definitely pass the imperial examination with flying colors!

The two then bowed gracefully to the princess with polite smiles on their faces.

"Your subject greets Your Highness, the Princess. May Your Highness be well."

The eldest princess ignored the two of them and walked straight to Liang Qiuli's side.

"From now on, I will back you up, and no one will dare to look down on you."

Murong Ya pulled Liang Qiuli's hand, then her sharp eyes swept over Xu Yuerao and Fei Wuxuan.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Liang Qiuli thanked them very sincerely.

Looking at the scene before her, Xu Yuerao had a bad feeling. Could it be that what Liang Qiuli said just now was true?

impossible!

But the more she thought about it, the more something seemed off, and Xu Yuerao's smile froze.

For some reason, Xu Yuerao suddenly started cursing at Liang Qiuli.

"Your Highness, I am the one you are looking for! She is nothing but a lowly servant! How could she possibly be..."

"presumptuous!"

The princess's maid scolded her.

Xu Yuerao regained some of her senses, but her face was filled with despair.

Liang Qiuli felt a surge of pleasure seeing Xu Yuerao's appearance.

The more arrogant they were just now, the harder they'll fall now.

The original owner suffered, and she will gradually seek revenge.

As for Fei Wuxuan, he was slightly stunned when he first saw the scene in front of him.

But his ability to adapt to changing circumstances was first-rate; he quickly realized what was going on.

The eldest princess is on Liang Qiuli's side.

Regardless of how Liang Qiuli and the Princess met, the priority is to salvage the situation.

So he immediately changed his expression, took a few steps away from Xu Yuerao, and then looked at Liang Qiuli with a fawning smile.

"Li'er, Xu Yuerao just deceived me. You are still the one I love the most. You should be able to feel that."

Seeing that Liang Qiuli still had a cold face towards him, Fei Wuxuan had no choice but to turn his gaze to the Princess.

“Your Highness, Li’er is the woman I love most. Rest assured, with me here, no one in the entire Yongchang Marquis’s mansion will dare to bully her.”

The eldest princess despised Fei Wuxuan's opportunistic behavior and didn't even glance at him.

However, recalling the words Liang Qiuli had written to her in her letter, the princess knew that she had her own plans.

So I just said it casually.

Anyone can say empty words, but if you're sincere, then take action.

Upon hearing this, Fei Wuxuan's eyes lit up. He felt that the Princess was giving him an opportunity, and he quickly nodded.

"Don't worry, Princess!"

As soon as Fei Wuxuan finished speaking, he slapped Xu Yuerao across the face. The slap caught Xu Yuerao off guard, and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

Xu Yuerao covered her face, feeling as if she had swallowed a bitter pill, her heart filled with unbearable bitterness.

Although Fei Wuxuan was an opportunist, she never expected that he would actually hit Liang Qiuli in front of her.

How will she face people in the Marquis's mansion after this?

Fei Wuxuan didn't care what Xu Yuerao was thinking. Seeing that Liang Qiuli's expression had softened, he quickly added.

"Princess, Li'er, after we return, I will confine her to her quarters and then find an opportunity to die of illness. I will absolutely not let her have any chance to harm Li'er in the slightest."

Liang Qiuli sneered inwardly; she had long seen through Fei Wuxuan's hypocrisy and ruthlessness.

So no matter how eloquently he spoke, she wouldn't take it to heart.

Moreover, Xu Yuerao has made far too many mistakes; she can't let her die so easily.

"Fei Wuxuan, you shameless bastard! You think that just because Liang Qiuli has latched onto the Princess, you can..."

Before Xu Yuerao could finish speaking, Fei Wuxuan interrupted her again. This time, Fei Wuxuan used force, and Xu Yuerao was pushed directly off the edge of the lotus pond.

"Help!"

Xu Yuerao thrashed about in the water.

"We can't let her defile the Princess's place. Let's have someone fish her out and send her back to the Marquis's residence."

After Liang Qiuli finished speaking, she left with the Princess.

……

"What? Granny Qi, are you telling the truth?!"

After hearing the news reported by Granny Qi, Liu was so shocked that her teacup was knocked over and her clothes were soaked, but she didn't even realize it.

"The old lady is absolutely right. Aunt Liang has an excellent relationship with the Princess, and she introduced her to many of the ladies in the household at the banquet."

However, it seems the lady has offended the Eldest Princess; she was carried back, and the Marquis has confined her to the Wutong Courtyard.

After Granny Qi explained it carefully, Liu finally accepted the fact.

Whether it's Xu Yuerao or Liang Qiuli, it's all beneficial for the Yongchang Marquis's family to establish a relationship with the Princess.

"Granny Qi, please personally select some items from my storeroom and take them to Yazhu Hall. From now on, Yazhu Hall will be treated the same as the Madam, so we must not allow anyone to neglect us."

Fei Wuxuan's ability to change his stance according to the wind was entirely a skill he inherited from the Liu family.

Liu had always looked down on Liang Qiuli, who came from a humble background, and had only been polite to her because of her only grandson.

But now that she has learned of her relationship with the eldest princess, Lady Liu immediately changed her attitude.

"Yes."

Granny Qi respectfully responded and turned to go to the storeroom.

……

The autumn imperial examinations have arrived as scheduled.

During this period, Liang Qiuli's life at the Marquis's residence was no worse than her life at the other residence.

Aside from playing with the children or chatting and drinking tea with the princess every day, he couldn't be more content with his life.

Xu Yuerao, on the other hand, had a very miserable life.

Although he was not seriously injured after falling into the water that day, he was still bedridden for several days due to catching a cold and being frightened.

In addition, she didn't treat the maids well in the first place, so they all ran away when something happened to her.

She was truly left with only Qingya by her side, no, and Shu'er, who had been favored by Fei Wuxuan that day.

Ever since Fei Wuxuan learned about Liang Qiuli's relationship with the Eldest Princess, he dared not look for anyone else. He thought it best if someone like Shu'er and Xu Yuerao were both gone.

"Madam, someone is looking for you outside the mansion. The old lady has sent me to invite you over!"

Suddenly, Granny Qi, who was by the old lady's side, appeared in Xu Yuerao's room and coldly gave orders while looking at Xu Yuerao lying on the bed.

Xu Yuerao was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. Who would come looking for her at this time?

She felt a vague unease, but she could only pretend to be calm and slowly get up.

She felt that nothing could be worse than the current situation, and that someone like Fei Wuxuan wouldn't dare to actually kill her.

Xu Yuerao was helped by Qingya to the entrance of the Marquis's mansion.

They found a large crowd gathered at the entrance of the Marquis's residence, including Liu Shi and Liang Qiuli.

Liu looked at her with displeasure; if looks could kill, she would be dead already.

Liang Qiuli stood aside, her expression unreadable.

But Xu Yuerao's unease grew stronger, as if something terrible was about to happen.
