Wei Lanxin's face was full of anger as she glared hatefully at Qin Ping'an, who was showing off in the crowd.

"Xiao Yu, aren't you going to do anything about your cousin? He's pretending to be a good guy now, isn't he just slapping us in the face?"

She looked aggrieved and pouted in complaint.

“Originally, these troublemakers would have left after making a fuss, but he interfered, so they definitely won’t leave.”

The eldest prince's gaze turned cold as he abruptly turned to stare at Wei Lanxin.

"Have you said enough? Can't you see that my cousin is cleaning up our mess?"

He coldly flicked his sleeve and walked down to the bottom of Qianyu Tower.

Wei Lan, left standing there, was shocked. This was the first time the Crown Prince had ever been so fierce to her.

It's just like how I was before I fell in love with her.

Wei Lanxin immediately felt a sense of crisis and quickly chased after him.

In front of Qianyu Tower.

Qin Ping'an led a group to treat the patients, first identifying the seriously ill for emergency treatment.

However, when the people saw the heavily armed Imperial Guards, they were filled with panic, tears streaming down their faces, and they desperately cried and fled.

"Run! Don't catch me! Don't kill me!"

"I was just greedy and came to Qianyulou for a meal, but I ended up suffering this misfortune."

"Is there no law under the emperor's nose?"

"I don't want justice anymore, please let me go!"

Qin Pingan gestured to Qin Xiao, instructing him to quell the situation.

Qin Xiao hurriedly spoke up, "Silence! I am a member of the Great Zhao Golden Guard, sent by the Emperor to treat the people. Do not panic or move around. Stay quietly where you are and wait for treatment."

"Anyone may register at the Jinwuwei Office to join the righteous cause of saving lives."

The crowd was filled with fear and worry, but seeing the sharp blades in the hands of the Imperial Guards, they ultimately dared not make a move and obediently stayed where they were.

When Wei Qingrou arrived, the people in front of Qianyu Tower had already quieted down, but they were still uneasy.

She then led a group of people to set up a soup pot and simmer taro and millet sweet soup.

Taro has therapeutic effects of reducing swelling and dissipating lumps, and millet is also good for the stomach.

With the addition of sugar, which everyone loves, the taste is sure to be great.

The sweet aroma quickly spread through the streets, bringing a touch of comfort to the people writhing in pain.

Many people opened their eyes from their wailing and stared intently at the pot of soup emitting a sweet aroma.

Someone mustered up their courage and asked, "Is this a new soup dish that Qianyulou is going to sell?"

Chunxi smiled faintly and said, "We are from the tofu shop across the street. We came to help you in response to the sage's call. These sweet soups are not only delicious, but they can also cure stomach aches."

Their eyes lit up instantly.

"Really? The saint is going to save us?"

"Great! The Sage has intervened! We are saved!"

"We beg the Sage to judge! Qianyulou deliberately plotted to kill us; his crime is heinous."

Chunxi quickly put on a smile and tried to calm everyone down.

"Please be patient, everyone. Listen to Lord Qin's instructions. We will treat the patients first, and then we will distribute sweet soup."

The people were delighted to hear this.

They were still somewhat skeptical of what the Imperial Guard had just said, since officials have two mouths and whatever they say is always right.

However, seeing more and more familiar merchants joining the rescue team, donating medicines and providing manpower, I finally felt relieved.

It really was a saint who came to save them!

It really helps!

The streets were no longer gloomy and lifeless; instead, they were filled with vitality and warmth.

The eldest prince, who witnessed all of this, had a sudden realization, but was interrupted by Wei Lanxin the next second.

"Hey, Qin Ping'an, what kind of airs are you putting on at my Qianyu Tower?"

"Who in the capital doesn't know you're just a good-for-nothing good-for-nothing brat? And today you're pretending to be a savior?"

She looked at Wei Qingrou with disdain, then glanced at her as she busied herself cooking soup.

Seeing her radiant wealth and beautiful appearance, and recalling how the eldest prince had just looked at her with admiration, she was immediately filled with jealousy.

"And you, you're just a worthless illegitimate daughter, a cheap slut born of a mistress, how dare you show your wings in front of me?"

Wei Qingrou's smile vanished instantly.

Chunxi, standing beside her, stepped forward with a stern face and bowed to Wei Lanxin, saying, "Miss, my young lady is the legitimate daughter of Madam Wei, and your own sister."

"Snapped!"

Wei Lanxin shook her hand, her eyes filled with disdain.

"Who asked you to speak so rudely, you lackey? Since you know I'm the eldest daughter of the Wei family, how dare you act so arrogantly in front of me? Are you trying to commit insubordination?"

Chunxi covered her swollen cheek, her face filled with suppressed anger, and lowered her head, saying, "This servant dares not."

"I had heard that my elder sister was kind and benevolent, and couldn't bear to see the servants suffer, so she asked to eat and live with them and treat them as sisters. She was the greatest philanthropist in the capital. Now it seems that the rumors are not credible."

Wei Qingrou's voice was calm, but she directly exposed her past.

The female protagonist who travels through time always loves to shout the slogan of equality for all, but she never puts her words into action.

Why is it that she can gain fame and true love just by shouting slogans, yet still use her status to bully her maid?

Wei Qingrou is broad-minded, but that doesn't mean she's willing to suffer in silence.

"You!" Wei Lanxin's face immediately turned angry, but she quickly calmed down and snorted coldly.

"As expected of a lowly woman's daughter, she is so eloquent and sharp-tongued that she almost disturbed my mind."

"It's true that I'm kind-hearted, but why should I show any mercy to shameless bastards like you?"

Wei Lanxin wore a bright smile, looking charming and lovely, but the words that came out of her beautiful red lips were more vicious than arsenic.

“One of you is a bastard born of a mistress, and the other is a servant’s son. You are the dregs of the feudal system. I, the eldest daughter, am the only daughter of the legal wife. I am born superior to you.”

Wei Qingrou tilted her head and smiled, deliberately asking, "So, does that mean everyone is unequal?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Lanxin was stunned. "You, you're just being unreasonable."

“Oh, I understand,” Wei Qingrou said, feigning sudden realization.

"So, all of this was just my eldest sister's excuse. She only admits things that are in her own interest. She's really clever."

Wei Lanxin was completely enraged. "Wei Qingrou, you're asking for death! I can get Mother to kick you out of the house with just one word from me, believe it or not?"

"Oh? Is that so?" Wei Qingrou raised her charming face and said lightly, "Eldest sister can give it a try."

"However, elder sister, you may not know this, but you eloped with someone and have already been kicked out of the house by Mother."

Wei Lanxin was instantly dumbfounded. "How is that possible? They only have me as their biological daughter. It can't be."

“And me too,” Wei Qingrou said with a faint smile.

"Eldest sister, you can pursue happiness. There are younger sisters in the family. I am now my parents' biological daughter and I have been included in the family genealogy."

"Who do you think you are!" Wei Lanxin screamed in despair, completely losing her temper.

Qin Pingan looked at Wei Qingrou with a faint smile, as if he were looking at a happy cat eating fish.

It turns out that she can also reveal her sharp claws beneath her soft paw pads when she's angry.

He touched the tip of his nose, looking fierce, yet so cute.

Qin Xiao, standing to the side, grinned like a lovesick fool: "Oh my, this girl is fierce like a little firecracker, but strangely lovable."

Qin Ping'an's eyes instantly turned cold.
