A lucky little peasant girl is reborn and brings prosperity to her entire family.

As soon as Song Yanyan entered, Huiyi threw a teacup at her.

Song Yanyan was quick-witted and dodged to the side, preventing the teacup from hitting her head.

Lady Changxin was startled and sat up straight immediately.

Huiyi flew into a rage: "You wretch, kneel down!"

Song Yanyan stood there and asked Huiyi, "May I ask Your Highness, why have you made me kneel?"

Empress Huiyi was furious: "Fine, I told you to kneel down, and you dare to resist?! You don't want to live anymore! Guards, drag this wretch away and give her twenty lashes!"

Huiyi is clearly trying to intimidate people with her power; she's not even bothering to act anymore.

Lady Changxin's expression changed drastically, and she spoke up to advise, "Your Highness, we don't yet know the details of the matter. It's not appropriate for you to resort to private punishment like this..."

It wasn't that Lady Changxin was biased towards Song Yanyan.

Regardless, Song Yanyan was a guest attending her banquet.

The incident also happened at her house.

If she, as the host, sits idly by and allows others to use vigilante justice in her home, who would dare to visit her house in the future?

Huiyi sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes cold and sharp, her tone carrying an unyielding arrogance: "What, does Lady Changxin think I handled things improperly and want some guidance?"

"no……"

"You dare to challenge me!" Consort Hui sneered. "My daughter has run into trouble in your house, and I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, but you're already jumping out to protect that wretched woman! Lady Hou, you're really something! Who do you think you are?!"

Lady Changxin's face flushed red.

She was extremely embarrassed and furious.

Marquis Changxin was, after all, a trusted and important official in the court, and everyone who saw her would respectfully address her as Lady Marquis.

As a result, she was scolded in front of Huiyi and treated no differently than a dog on the street. How could she not feel humiliated?

Lady Changxin's face flushed red, and she trembled with anger.

Huiyi shouted sternly, "Why aren't you dragging this slut away?! Do you want me to do it myself?!"

The old woman brought by Huiyi was about to step forward and restrain Song Yanyan aggressively when the outer curtain was suddenly lifted, and a figure carrying a cold wind and anger entered the room with a chilling aura.

Who else could it be but Xin Yibei?

"***What a magnificent display!"

Xin Yibei, unable to conceal his anger, stood in front of Song Yanyan with a cold and sharp expression.

Huiyi was stunned for a moment, a look of disbelief flashing in her eyes, but she still stood up: "Why has the Crown Prince come?"

Lady Changxin, the wife of the Marquis of Changxin, also quickly performed a full kneeling bow: "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Xin Yibei said coldly, "If I hadn't come, how could I have witnessed His Highness displaying such power in a subject's residence?"

Huiyi looked somewhat embarrassed.

With tears in her eyes, Luo Jinyu struggled to get up from the bed, then knelt down and said, "...Your Highness, Mother is so angry because of me. Please forgive me..."

Xin Yibei looked at her coldly, her words devoid of any politeness: "Who do you think you are? You expect me to forgive you?"

Luo Jinyu's already pale face was completely drained of color.

Huiyi was even more furious, and her tone became even harsher: "Your Highness!"

Xin Yibei stood there indifferently, not yielding an inch: "What, you want to blame me?"

Huiyi's expression changed several times, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to say, "I dare not."

Xin Yibei scoffed coldly.

He turned to look at Song Yanyan, his gaze falling on the broken teacups scattered on the floor beside her, his eyes growing even colder.

"Are you hurt?" Xin Yibei asked Song Yanyan in a low voice.

Song Yanyan shook her head.

She was prepared to suffer a loss first, but she never expected Xin Yibei to appear in front of her like a divine soldier descending from the sky.

"I'm fine," Song Yanyan said softly.

"Your Highness!" Huiyi raised her voice in disbelief, "Do you know what she did?"

Xin Yibei ignored her, but reached out and took Song Yanyan's arm, leading her away from the broken porcelain shard, and personally led her to sit down.

Lady Changxin, watching from the side, was shocked!

The crown prince was cold by nature and distant from everyone.

This was the first time she had ever seen the Crown Prince treat a court lady with such... tenderness!

So, the family that Song Yanyan was betrothed to, as mentioned by Tian Denghua... could it be... the Crown Prince?!

Lady Changxin was trembling with fear!

What has she done!

She almost tried to steal the emperor's daughter-in-law!

Furthermore, she almost, almost got the emperor's daughter-in-law beaten up in her own residence...

Lady Changxin's legs began to tremble.

If she had actually let Consort Hui drag the person away and beat her, Consort Hui would have been a member of the royal family, and while she might not have been held accountable, she, as the head of the household, would have been absolutely responsible!

The more Lady Changxin thought about it, the more she felt a chill run down her spine.

It wasn't until Song Yanyan sat down that Xin Yibei turned around and looked at Huiyi.

Huiyi's face was pale and her expression was extremely unpleasant.

She could see it now; the Crown Prince treated that vile woman, Song Yanyan, differently.

The Crown Prince has always been reserved, and she didn't even want to think about how much Song Yanyan meant to him in front of everyone.

When the Crown Prince marries her, will she be a Liangyuan (a high-ranking concubine) or a Liangdi (a lower-ranking concubine)?

Huiyi quickly made up her mind.

Luo Jinyu's face was just as ugly as her mother's.

The jealousy burning fiercely in his eyes was incredibly intense.

The Crown Prince's personal visit to the Marquis's residence is no small matter.

Soon, Marquis Changxin from the front courtyard, as well as his two sons currently at the mansion, including Xie Youchang, rushed over and performed the kowtow of subjects to the Crown Prince on the main seat.

Xin Yibei remained calm and raised his hand, saying, "Get up, all of you. I would like to ask you, what was the purpose of your attempt to carry out private torture on the daughter of a subject just now?"

Xie Youchang had already heard about it on his way here: Xin Yibei's sudden arrival just in time to stop Huiyi from ordering Song Yanyan to be beaten again!

Xie Youchang had a guess in his mind, but he dared not think about it, and only felt his heart was ice cold.

But he clearly saw that the way Song Yanyan looked at Xin Yibei was different from how she looked at others.

Xie Youchang felt as if he had fallen into an icy lake.

Huiyi gritted her teeth and said, "The Crown Prince is protecting her! ...The Crown Prince has no idea what she did! They were playing on the frozen lake, and she deliberately lured others to a thinner part of the ice, causing everyone except her to fall into the water! Such a vicious intention, what wrong is there in punishing her?!"

“That’s truly laughable,” Xin Yibei said coldly. “She’s just a guest at the Marquis of Changxin’s residence. How could she possibly know where the ice is weak? If she could find the weak points so easily, why couldn’t the others find them?”
