The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

“He is my husband, not my servant,” Liu Yue sneered.

The housekeeper was stunned.

The princess did not want to marry the prince consort because she was a princess and did not want to be humiliated.

But he always believed that the princess loved the prince consort.

Otherwise, if the prince consort is so gentle and kind, why would the princess not want to marry him?

“Your Highness, if you are so ungrateful, your husband will no longer care about you,” the steward advised earnestly. “I advise you to leave your husband as soon as possible, lest you incur his disdain.”

boom!

Suddenly, a powerful force struck from behind, slamming into the butler's chest.

Caught off guard, the butler was sent flying and fell face-first into the dirt.

He struggled to lift his head, glaring angrily at the group of women before him.

"What are you doing?!"

"Ah!"

Liu Yue chuckled softly.

Her eyebrows curled in a mocking arc, and her eyes were filled with disdain.

"What are we doing? I should be asking you what you're trying to do! This little bitch is a disgrace to the Liu family, and you're letting her stay?"

“Sister Yue, you’re wrong. This is not just a disgrace, but a disaster for the Liu family! If we continue to let this little slut stay in the Liu family, I’m afraid… the Liu family will never have a peaceful day!”

The butler's heart skipped a beat, and his cloudy eyes gradually filled with raging fury.

"The Liu family doesn't need a bunch of parasites like you. Our princess has returned, and the Liu family's crisis will naturally be resolved. Do you still dare to stop us?"

The people in the Liu family are all greedy for money. Now that they see Liu Yue has returned, they can't wait to rush to her and try to curry favor with her.

Liu Yue's gaze turned cold: "Butler, our Liu family is not anyone's puppet. You can forget about using Liu Yue to gain wealth and status. She's nothing but a money-loser and has no right to stay in the Liu family."

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, a slender, fair hand reached out and slapped Liu Yue across the cheek.

Liu Yue covered her flushed cheeks and stared blankly at Liu Yue standing in front of her.

"I don't like being insulted, especially by... Liu Yue!"

A smile played on her lips, but it didn't reach her eyes; her aura was chilling.

Who do you think you are to insult me?

Liu Yue was stunned for a long time before screaming, "How dare you hit me?"

"You insulted my mother's reputation, so I dare to hit you!"

Her mother is her Achilles' heel!

Anyone who dares to touch it will be killed without mercy!

"Liu Yue!"

Liu Yue gritted her teeth: "A brainless idiot like you is not worthy of the Crown Prince at all!"

"Oh?" Liu Yue raised an eyebrow. "What does the Liu family's affairs have to do with the Crown Prince?"

"The Crown Prince is your cousin. You and your cousin were childhood sweethearts, and everyone in the Dongyue Dynasty knows this."

Liu Yue smiled and said, "I don't know if he's my cousin."

Liu Yue choked, then ignored Liu Yue and walked straight ahead.

"Liu Yao, what are you still standing there for?"

Liu Yao clenched her fists tightly and followed beside Liu Yue.

"You'd better pack your things and get out of the Liu family right now! You're not welcome here!"

"Is that so?" Liu Yue smiled and curled her lips. "I wonder if my father will agree. After all, my father once said that his daughter-in-law must be virtuous and talented. It seems that Miss Liu does not meet these requirements?"

"you……"

Liu Yao's chest trembled with anger.

The Liu family did not allow concubines; even she had to find a husband of equal social standing.

Unfortunately, over the years, few have been able to catch the eye of the Liu family.

Until Yang Ling...

Unfortunately, Yang Ling had no interest in her, but was instead interested in Liu Yue.

Even though the Liu family harbored resentment, they could do nothing to Liu Yue.

Unfortunately, the Liu family's power is entirely supported by Yang Ling. If he doesn't agree to annul the engagement, the Liu family... still won't be able to turn the tide.

"Second Sister," Liu Yucheng stepped in slowly, a faint smile on his handsome face, "I just heard you were back, so I came to pay my respects."

Liu Yue glanced at him: "Are you here to watch the show?"

Liu Yucheng shrugged: "I was just passing by and happened to see so many people from the Liu family, so I came in to join in the fun."

Liu Yue looked at Liu Yucheng with a smile.

Liu Yucheng was taken aback, feeling that the girl's gaze was rather unsettling.

He turned to leave, but saw Yang Ling had already walked to Liu Yue's side and embraced her.

"What are you doing?" Liu Yucheng's face darkened. "Outrageous! Yue'er is my future wife. What kind of behavior is this, hugging and cuddling like this? Let go of each other right now!"

Yang Ling sneered, "Yue'er has already said that she doesn't like you!"

"Shut up!" Liu Yucheng roared in anger.

He is the Crown Prince of Dongyue Kingdom and the eldest grandson of the Liu family. How could he allow such a piece of trash to slander him!

"How have you servants always served Yue'er? She's back, and none of you have reported it to me?"

The servants of the Liu family were so frightened that they knelt down with a thud, trembling.

They were so focused on winning the princess's attention that they forgot to tell the crown prince.

When they came to their senses, Liu Yue and Yang Ling were already grappling with each other.

"Master Liu."

The man's clear voice resounded in everyone's ears.

The head of the Liu family looked up and saw the man's proud and noble face. He immediately stood up in a panic, cupped his fists, and showed extreme respect.

"So it is Imperial Censor Qin. May I ask what brings you to my Liu family?"

Qin Jun snorted coldly: "I'm here to convey a message from the Crown Prince: our Crown Prince is unwilling to marry the eldest daughter of the Liu family, so you should give up on that idea."

The head of the Liu family stiffened for a moment, then returned to normal.

"Imperial Censor Qin, are you sure this is the Crown Prince's intention? Although the Crown Prince has a bad temper, he is not the kind of person who talks nonsense like this."

The Liu family patriarch's voice was resolute.

Qin Jun glanced indifferently at the Liu family members and said coldly, "These are the Crown Prince's exact words. He disdains to marry an ugly concubine's daughter as a consort."

"You..." The Liu family head's expression changed. "Imperial Censor Qin, do you have any evidence? If the Crown Prince really said that, I will personally petition His Majesty to uphold justice for my Liu family!"

"You think I have no evidence?"

Qin Jun snorted coldly.

After Qin Jun produced the imperial edict, everyone in the Liu family turned green with rage.

The Crown Prince couldn't possibly be unaware of the Liu family's power, so why would he offend His Majesty for the sake of the Liu family?

"The Crown Prince also asked me to tell you that he will not marry the eldest daughter of the Liu family!"

"..."

The members of the Liu family looked at each other, all seeing the panic in each other's eyes.

Ruined!

The Liu family has angered the Crown Prince, and he will never let this go unpunished!

Cold sweat broke out on the back of the Liu family patriarch. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and barely managed to maintain his composure.

“Our Liu family was ignorant and offended the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince wants to punish us, we will accept it! But this has nothing to do with Yue’er, and we will not take our anger out on her.”

Liu Yue gave a cold laugh.

The Liu family is truly shameless; they're used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

"Father, are you admitting defeat?" Liu Yue looked at the head of the Liu family with a cold smile.
