Best friends dressed up in ancient times to become mistresses? You run, I run too!

She was careless, thinking that Shen Ningzhu was easy to manipulate, which is why she inadvertently lost her composure.

Fortunately, she didn't drive her away, so now, for her own future, she has to grit her teeth and go for it, no matter how unwilling she is.

"Slap, slap slap slap—"

Zhiyuan gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and finished slapping all the hands in one go. As she stopped, she breathed a sigh of relief, her arms shaking uncontrollably.

"Miss, I'm done."

Zhiyuan stepped forward respectfully and bowed.

"Yes, got it."

Shen Ningzhu replied lazily, then turned to look at the people who had been beaten. She saw that they were all furious, with red eyes and tears in their eyes, looking as if they hated her to the core.

Shen Ningzhu's delicate fox-like eyes curved into a smile, a cold glint in them.

"See? This is what happens when you mess with me, Shen Ningzhu. You've learned your lesson now, haven't you? If I catch you again next time, you...you all..." A small, slender hand gently patted the plump nanny's face.

It is not very harmful and extremely insulting.

A bright, small face slowly approached her earlobe, a smile that was affectedly sweet, her breath sweet as orchids, "The punishment you will receive will only be ten times, a hundred times, worse than it is now, understand?"

“You…” The plump old woman looked up in surprise and doubt, and their eyes suddenly met.

One's eyes were filled with panic, while the other's gaze was cold and ruthless, subtly revealing a murderous intent.

Murderous intent? She only said a few casual words to her, and she immediately harbored murderous intent? Has Shen Ningzhu been possessed? When did she become so terrifying?

Shen Ningzhu was satisfied with the reactions of those people, so she smiled and left with her maid.

When they arrived at the dining hall, everyone in the Shen family except Shen Ningxue was already there and had started eating.

It seems that Shen Ningxue really can't get out of bed, haha! Well, after all, if you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way.

"What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that? Don't you recognize me?" Shen Ningzhu said with a smile.

When she walked in, everyone froze on the spot, and Shen Yu even slammed his chopsticks on the table with a cold face.

"What are you doing here?"

Shen Ningzhu smiled, even more pleased with the situation. She swayed her hips and went to find a seat.

"Is the Minister getting senile? What else could he be doing in the dining hall? Of course, he's here to eat."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanwan, who was standing next to Shen Yu, threw down her chopsticks in anger. "Who told you to come here? Go back to your own courtyard. As for the food, someone will bring it to you."

The master is right, the Shen family has no shortage of food.

Although Shen Ningzhu often abused her position as the Crown Prince, bullying Xue'er and causing her to fall ill time and time again, it would only last for a few days.

She can just bear with it, just a little longer. It won't be long before she enters the Crown Prince's residence.

Once you enter the palace gates, it's like entering a deep sea. The Eastern Palace is also a palace. Once you're inside, it's not so easy to come out and cause them trouble.

Therefore, she doesn't need to upset His Highness the Crown Prince over such a trivial matter.

"Why should I? It's not like I'm something shameful, why should I be in the yard?"

"you……"

This was the first time Shen Ningzhu had so ruthlessly defied Jiang Wanwan. Although she had been domineering and unruly in the past, she had never been this harsh on her family. But today...

The elderly couple had already agreed to put up with it, but who knew that Shen Ningzhu would be so shameless.

Not long ago, they fulfilled her extravagant requests, but she still wouldn't stop.

She actually came to the dining hall wanting to dine with their whole family. Xue'er was so angry with her that she couldn't get out of bed. How dare she come here?

Jiang Wanwan trembled with anger.

"Evil creature, evil creature!"

Shen Chenyi pursed his lips, his brows furrowing slightly as he tried to smooth things over: "Mother, how about..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Wanwan glared at him fiercely. Shen Chenyi was stunned, his lips twitched involuntarily, and he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

She looked to her younger brother, Shen Chenxi, for help.

This younger brother was a mischievous little rascal from a young age, but he was also the most talkative in the family.

But even the usually carefree and unrestrained Shen Chenxi looked at this and that, his lips moved, but in the end he chose to remain silent.

Ever since Xue'er came back, Shen Ningzhu has been almost driven mad, making it difficult for him to face her now.

Shen Ningzhu gave a cold smile.

Although I can understand their feelings, I still can't help but feel sad at this moment.

Is this the difference between a real heiress and a fake heiress?

Even though Shen Ningxue wasn't as innocent and naive as they thought, and even though her methods were sometimes incredibly childish and full of loopholes.

But because she is the real heiress, everyone in the Shen family always stands by her side unconditionally.

Indeed, for the first fifteen years, the original host had coincidentally occupied Shen Ningxue's life.

They were prejudiced against her body, and she accepted it. Unfortunately, she was unlucky enough to provoke that wicked Crown Prince.

So in order to be completely free, she had no choice but to act as a conspicuous figure everywhere, which annoyed the Shen family members, and she felt helpless about it.

But she had no choice but to ask them to bear with it a little longer.

"Oh dear, I'm afraid that's not up to you. Today, I insist on having my meal here."

He raised an eyebrow and smiled, then gestured with his hand and gave the order:

"Bring a brand new set of bowls and chopsticks. Oh, and the bowls and plates should be made of jade, the chopsticks should be made of ivory, and also a pair of silver chopsticks."

Shen Yu stood up angrily, pointing at her and panting with rage.

"You...you unfilial daughter! Our Minister's mansion has raised you for fifteen years. What are you doing? Do you suspect that we poisoned your food?"

Shen Ningzhu sighed deeply.

"Oh~~~"

"It's always good to be cautious when you're out and about. After all, the day I fell into the water and woke up unconscious, that maid named Xia Zhi in the room was about to strangle me."

The Shen family was all shocked.

"What did you say? This...is this really true?" Shen Chenyi was the first to stand up excitedly.

Seeing the genuine worry in his eyes, Shen Ningzhu felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and her expression softened.

"It's true."

"This is impossible."

Almost simultaneously, two voices rang out. One was Shen Ningzhu, and the other was Jiang Wanwan.

“That’s impossible,” Jiang Wanwan emphasized again.

"Xia Zhi and Qiu Yu are your maids who have always served you. How could they treat you like this? Shen Ningzhu, even if you're lying, you could at least find someone more convincing."

As soon as she finished speaking, the emotions on the faces of the Shen family members changed instantly, and their gazes toward Shen Ningzhu gradually turned sharp and disgusted.

Even the Shen brothers looked at her with disappointment.

"Zhuzhu, stop being unreasonable. Quickly apologize to your parents and tell them you were just joking. Don't worry, they will forgive you."
