The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

Chapter 255 Kicking Shuttlecock

Eastern Frontier Military Camp.

The War King sat in his tent when his deputy, Fei Haotian, entered.

The War King raised his eyes: "Did you come to deliver a message?"

Fei Haotian paused for a moment before revealing the truth: "Yu Pengze's home has been raided."

The War King was stunned.

"What? Yu Pengze's home has been raided?" the War King exclaimed.

He had originally planned to acquire another batch of "secret weapons" once Yu Pengze's money arrived.

But now, Yu Pengze's home has been raided.

"Yes, businesses in various places have been shut down, and people have been sentenced to beheading."

The War King felt a little flustered.

Yu Pengze provided him with substantial financial support.

As a result, his property was seized and he was sentenced to beheading.

What will he do next?

We need the money!

"What happened?" Xiao Dongqian asked, his face ashen.

“It was his son, Yu Jiashu, who reported him,” Fei Haotian said.

Xiao Dongqian employs people based on their background, and he also knew some of Yu Pengze's family affairs.

Unexpectedly, his son actually reported him.

It seems we need to finish this quickly. The War King clenched his fists, his expression icy.

-----------------

Qin Wanying was at the Crown Prince's residence, recalling her experiences over the past few days.

Shadows are so useful.

After she married the Crown Prince, Shadow remained under her control, and she directly moved the Shadow organization to the Crown Prince's residence.

This was still Qin Yezhong's idea.

Within days, they gathered evidence and brought down Yu Pengze.

Yu Pengze is the War King's cash cow. Without Yu Pengze's support, the War King will have less financial support and will be in dire straits.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, system upgrade! This upgrade increases your mental strength by 100! Current mental strength: 220!]

Qin Wanying was stunned for a moment. She had already leveled up?

She has indeed helped different people solve various problems at Tianjiyuan these past few days.

However, why are there no options for this upgrade? It only increased her mental strength.

It seems that system upgrades don't always offer an option.

Qin Wanying's mind suddenly felt much clearer, and her mental strength improved. This not only allowed her to use the system's abilities more, but also changed her reaction speed and thinking ability.

Moreover, she has the ability to foresee ten seconds, and after her mental strength was improved, the time she could activate the ten-second foreseeing ability was greatly extended.

Overall, it’s pretty good.

The last system upgrade gave her an extra ability to avoid death, giving her an extra life compared to others.

This made her feel very safe.

Although the seizure of the Yu family's assets is tantamount to crippling the War King, he still has other merchants supporting him and is not so easily brought down.

She knew that the War King would not give up so easily.

If she's right, a major battle shouldn't be far off.

Qin Wanying opened the window and, seeing that the sun was shining brightly outside, invited Xiao Jiye to go for a walk together.

Qin Wanying had been working very hard on the Shadow matter these past few days and hadn't had much rest. Xiao Jiye wanted to help her relax, and knowing that she liked playing shuttlecock, he offered to play with her.

Qin Wanying seemed quite happy, appearing very enthusiastic.

The two changed into shorts; the sun was shining brightly outside, and it wasn't cold.

This time, we used the kind of kick-to-you method.

I kicked it over a hundred times, and the shuttlecock never fell.

Qin Wanying then realized that Xiao Jiye had intentionally let her win the last time they played shuttlecock.

She's so happy even though she won...

Qin Wanying felt incredibly childish.

As she was thinking, Qin Wanying got distracted and lost control of her strength, kicking the shuttlecock into a tree.

All the leaves on the tree have fallen, but the branches are very dense, and colorful shuttlecocks hang on the branches, swaying with the branches without falling off.

Just as Qin Wanying was about to use her light-footed skill to fly up and take the shuttlecock down, the Crown Prince pressed her down.

Qin Wanying thought he wanted to take it himself.

To everyone's surprise, Xiao Jiye looked at her with a half-smile and said, "Let's try a different way to get it."

Qin Wanying was stunned for a moment.

How about another approach?

What method?

Before Qin Wanying could react, Xiao Jiye's large hand grabbed her slender waist from behind and lifted her up.

Feiyu, who was standing to the side, was so frightened that she quickly looked away.

Why does His Highness the Crown Prince always make these sudden moves? Should I watch or not?

The servants tactfully left.

Qin Wanying was surprised that Xiao Jiye would pick her up, and her face turned red.

Xiao Jiye lifted her directly above his head and let her sit on his shoulders.

Qin Wanying suddenly remembered that when she was browsing the market, some parents would lift their young children up and put them on their shoulders.

Now, I'm being treated like a child myself.

Qin Wanying's breathing quickened; she felt extremely embarrassed.

"Is it fun?" Xiao Jiye asked.

Qin Wanying: ......

They really treat her like a child!

Xiao Jiye felt that raising his wife to be like a daughter was not a bad thing.

Xiao Jiye walked to the tree, and Qin Wanying reached out and grabbed the shuttlecock.

However, Xiao Jiye showed no sign of putting her down.

Qin Wanying felt a little embarrassed, but at the same time found it very interesting.

No one had ever performed this action with her before.

"It really is...quite fun," Qin Wanying replied truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiye became excited and started carrying her around the courtyard.

The servants all left on their own, leaving only the two of them in the courtyard.

After playing for a while, Qin Wanying still felt that this was not quite right, so she blushed and said, "Husband, please put me down."

Xiao Jiye gave a mischievous look: "Want to get down? Beg me."

Qin Wanying: ......

Staying up there all the time couldn't go on, so she had no choice but to plead, "Please, my husband, put me down..."

Qin Wanying even pinched Xiao Jiye's face with her little hand.

Xiao Jiye smiled with satisfaction before finally putting Qin Wanying down.

Qin Wanying: Xiao Jiye, you childish brat!

Qin Wanying looked at Xiao Jiye, who was still wearing the same black short-sleeved shirt he wore when he played shuttlecock last time. It was the kind that really showed off his physique, and you could clearly see the outline of his chest muscles through the clothes.

Qin Wanying immediately pulled Xiao Jiye to take a shower.

......

After a long time.

Qin Wanying lay on the couch, looking at the person beside her.

All she feels now is regret.

Why did she act impulsively? She's the one who will suffer.

Xiao Jiye gently stroked her face and said, "Wanying, tomorrow is the palace banquet. The Empress Dowager, Consort Xian, and my ninth sister will all be attending. This is your first time attending a palace banquet as the Crown Princess, so you must be careful."

"I will do my best to protect you," Xiao Jiye said.

Qin Wanying turned to look at Xiao Jiye and smiled.

She felt safe and secure when she was with Xiao Jiye, and she felt protected.

We definitely need to be extra careful tomorrow.

After all, she needs to have ten seconds of precognitive awareness to avoid being tricked.

This palace banquet was very grand, and many foreign envoys were invited.

Qin Wanying was afraid that someone would find fault with her, so she and Xiao Jiye arrived very early.

The banquet hall was magnificent, with the emperor's throne at the top of the steps, and the empress dowager's and virtuous concubine's thrones on the sides. Each person had a small table at their seat.

However, the seats are currently empty; no one has arrived yet.

As soon as I entered the banquet hall, I was bumped into by a palace maid.
