Only after being reborn did I realize that I was the white moonlight of a powerful minister.

Princess Longyu specifically asked Ye Wanning to watch over her, meaning that she should learn from her and show the same confidence when facing problems in the future.

Atractylodes macrocephala was rendered speechless.

Princess Longyu gave a direct order: "Granny Jiang, go to the Bai residence and tell them that I find the place too quiet. Last time I saw the Bai family's children, they were all lively and adorable, and the Right Prime Minister agreed to let them come as guests. They don't need to bring anything; I have everything here. If Madam Bai tries to stop me, just show her my token. Anyone who says a word more will be slapped."

Bai Shu: "Your Highness, you..."

"Lord Bai, Right Chancellor, I believe you are a smart man. I am not a villain who would kill without consequence. I am just feeling lonely and looking for some company. If you look at me like that, I might misunderstand. If you really disagree, you can go to the palace now and see my father, and let him stop me." Princess Longyu sat down again, smiling at Bai Shu.

She knew that Bai Shu wouldn't dare.

People in high positions are most afraid of being caught red-handed, because they know how great it is to be in a good position, and they also know how many people want to step on them to get ahead.

Bai Shu clenched his fist, but Princess Longyu refused to budge, so he could only hold back. "In that case, Your Highness, please go to the envoy in Wusu and try to make peace. The affairs of both countries are of utmost importance."

"Don't worry, I'll go when I'm in a better mood." Princess Longyu asked Granny Jiang to see the guest out, and after Bai Shu left, she had someone clean up the broken porcelain shards on the ground.

Ye Wanning emerged from behind the screen, still marveling at Princess Longyu's imposing manner.

"Were you frightened?" Princess Longyu was much gentler when facing Ye Wanning.

Ye Wanning shook her head, not really frightened. "I just didn't expect my godmother to have this attitude towards the Right Prime Minister." After all, she was a princess. Just now, Princess Longyu's behavior was no different from a street brawl.

"Haha, I understand what you mean. Life in Wusu wasn't easy. At first, I tried to maintain my composure and reason with everyone, but I found that the local education was far inferior to that of the capital. Even if I talked myself hoarse, they wouldn't listen to reason. So I had to use my power to intimidate them. Only after I put on a show of authority did people start to fear me." Princess Longyu said with a smile, "That's how you should deal with an old man like Bai Shu. Otherwise, he'll definitely have a bellyful of benevolence and propriety waiting for me, and then he'll try to intimidate me with morality."

Ye Wanning nodded and said, "The Right Prime Minister will be furious this time."

In Ye Wanning's mind, it was equally refreshing. If she were in charge, she would definitely persuade people with reason. She never expected that throwing a tantrum could be so satisfying.

"I just want to infuriate him. When the Bai family arrives at the princess's residence, I'll leave them hanging, making sure they can't eat or sleep properly," Princess Longyu snorted.

In the evening, Granny Jiang arrived with several children from the Bai family. She wanted only children over twelve years old; she didn't want the younger ones, as they were too young and would cry and be too immature. Only these older children would be able to intimidate the Bai family.

Granny Jiang said, "The second mistress of the Bai family cried and wouldn't let this old servant take the people away. This old servant listened to you and slapped her across the face. After taking out your token, Madam Bai stopped her family and let this old servant bring these young masters and ladies here."

"Take them all away. Tell them that I may choose someone to serve me at any time. Tell them to be prepared and not to let their guard down." Princess Longyu didn't really have her eye on the Bai family; she was just deliberately trying to scare them. Whoever displeased her, she would make them unhappy.

At this moment, Zhu looked at her silent husband and sighed again, "What exactly happened? Princess Longyu is a princess after all. Isn't she afraid of being criticized for taking our child away?"

“What does she have to be afraid of? Aren’t there plenty of male lovers in the princess’s residence?” Bai Shu said that he had misjudged her. “I thought she would still care about her reputation, but I was wrong. She can keep male lovers, and she has no blood relatives. What else does she have to care about?”

“Well…you can’t just openly ask our children to go over there, can you? Didn’t you see that Hui’er and the others were crying their eyes out? The second son’s wife even got slapped. You are a first-rank minister, and I also have an imperial title. How dare she?” Thinking of her children at the princess’s residence, Zhu couldn’t eat or sit still.

"Calm down. She made it clear that she wanted to go there, so she definitely won't let anything happen to the children," Bai Shu sighed. "She'll only suffer for a few days. The Emperor won't let her drag this out for too long. Once things are settled, he'll send someone back."

That's all I can think about now.

Wiping away her tears, Zhu said, "I will personally go to apologize tomorrow. I hope she will consider my feelings and not make things difficult for the children."

Especially the grandsons, if they become the subjects of Princess Longyu, how will the Bai family face people in the future?

The granddaughter may not necessarily go to marry into a foreign land, but the grandson's innocence is more important, after all, they are the future of the Bai family.

Bai Shu was also worried about this. Princess Longyu was becoming increasingly unscrupulous in her actions. If he had known it would turn out this way, he shouldn't have let her return safely.

While Zhu was shedding tears, the second branch of the Bai family was also shedding tears. The second branch had finally had a son, and now that they knew he might be ruined by Princess Longyu, they were so angry that they fainted several times.

Princess Longyu deliberately ignored the Bai family's children, refusing to see them, causing them to live in constant fear.

When they saw Ye Wanning, Bai Hui rushed forward angrily, "It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have to suffer like this!"

"What grievance? Your adoptive mother has provided you with good food and drink and has not imprisoned you. So, letting you enjoy a life of luxury in the princess's mansion is a grievance? It seems you have no sense of gratitude at all." Ye Wanning would never have said such things before. She would have been more tactful and less likely to be found fault. But after spending a long time by Princess Longyu's side, she has gradually gained confidence.
