She set the courtyard ablaze. Because her second brother was afraid of fire, she had taken him to hide at the very back of the courtyard.

Anyway, the flames won't reach it.

I waited for a long time, but no one came.

Hehe, that's not surprising. After all, it took her at least half an hour to walk from the old lady's courtyard to this dilapidated courtyard.

Even if this place turns to ashes, no one will know.

By the time someone discovered it and came over, the place had already been burned to ashes.

Qingyou led Musen toward the gate.

"Miss, you're not allowed to leave this place!"

The gatekeeper wanted to pull Qingyou along, but dared not.

"Ouch!"

Mu Sen, standing to one side, yelled at Qingyou, while the gatekeeper's men shrank back.

"Humph!"

Qingyou glanced at him sideways and went directly to Shuntian Prefecture.

They sued the Dou family, took her back, and then abandoned her in a small courtyard without a care in the world. They even tried to burn her alive.

The Shuntian Prefecture was in a real dilemma looking at Dou Qingyou, and in the end they had no choice but to ask the Dou family for help, and also invited people from the Yong'an Prince's Mansion.

Before the Dou family members arrived, Prince Yong'an had already arrived, accompanied by his heir, Shui Tiancheng.

Shui Tiancheng is the princess's younger brother, and the two have a good relationship. Now that he knows his niece has been insulted, the fire in his heart is burning fiercely.

"Qingyou!"

Prince Yong'an walked up to Qingyou and saw that she was soaking wet and her face was still covered in dirt.

He was furious; the Dou family had really gone too far.

Several people were talking when Dou Pingchun finally arrived late.

He was lying in bed with Shui Xuewei when this happened... It's really...

"Dou Qingyou, what nonsense are you spouting now!"

Dou Pingchun's intuition was that Dou Qingyou was just messing around. After all, ever since she came back, she had been the one causing all sorts of trouble, big and small.

"Father took me back only because he was concerned about saving face... After taking me back, he dumped me in a dilapidated little courtyard, a gloomy place. No maids came, and there was nothing to eat. If I died in there, no one would even know!"

Dou Qingyou looked at him coldly; the man before her was cold-blooded and ruthless.

His heart is only for Shui Xuewei; he has probably long forgotten his first wife!

"How is that possible!?"

Seeing that the atmosphere around him had suddenly turned sour again, Dou Pingchun quickly waved his hand in denial.

"How could it be impossible! That courtyard was burned to ashes, and no one came... What else could it be but a ghost town!"

Dou Qingyou looked at him coldly.

"Qingyou, where did they put you up?"

The Prince of Yong'an asked again.

"Liuxiang Garden!"

Qingyou immediately replied.

"Liuxiang Garden... Hehe... Dou Pingchun, you really are something, letting Qingyou live in a house where a dead person once lived."

The Prince of Yong'an immediately became angry.

"Ah...that's it!"

Shui Tiancheng remembered it too, and immediately rushed to Dou Pingchun, reaching out to grab Dou Pingchun's collar.

"If you don't let go, don't blame me for being impolite."

Dou Pingchun was held so tightly that he couldn't move, and his face turned bright red.

"You're welcome! It would be best if you made a scene before the Emperor. I want to see what your Dou family's reasons are for letting your legitimate daughter live in the courtyard of your dead concubine!"
