I was sold when I opened my eyes! My sick and disabled husband comforts me every night after he wake

She really wanted to tell these things to someone, but who could she tell?

Not wanting the people around her to worry about her, she could only confide in Xiaoxin.

Xiao Xin's eyes flickered a few times before she spoke:

“Master, didn’t you say that everyone has their flaws? Some people can’t stand your meteoric rise to success, but others are happy for you. Don’t let those who can’t stand you control your emotions. When you encounter difficulties, learn to solve them. If anyone can’t stand your success, become even better and make them furious.”

"hehe!"

Xiao Xin's words made Lan Zhi want to laugh.

It seems that she was right to implant a human brain chip into Xiaoxin's brain.

In crucial moments, it can truly provide guidance and companionship.

She couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

"How come I'm not even as good as you, a robot? You're right, others can't stand to see me succeed, but I'll only make them better. Let all those who can't stand me go to hell!"

Thinking of this, she finally let out a long sigh of relief. At that moment, Xiao Xin whispered a reminder:

"Master, someone is coming from ahead. Be careful."

Lan Zhi smiled slightly. "I'll accept anyone who comes."

She strolled among the flowers, seemingly oblivious to the person approaching from the opposite direction, simply admiring the stubborn little daisies in quiet contemplation.

Not far away, Princess Yumin was also admiring the flowers. Although she was only fifteen years old, she was tall and graceful, and her face was much prettier than Princess Yujie's.

However, her eyes lacked Princess Yujie's innocence, and her gaze was not as clear as Princess Yujie's.

Lan Zhi was wary of her because she was the Empress's biological daughter. Although she was not the Emperor's favorite, her status in the palace was not to be underestimated.

She couldn't help but think to herself, "The Empress is really willing to go to such lengths to deal with me. She even sent her own daughter to the Crown Prince's residence. In this way, she both restrained me and gained favor with the Emperor. She's really clever."

"Oh, isn't this Lan Zhi? Why don't you bow to me, the princess?"

He called her by her first name and expected her to bow?

It's clear that she came here today specifically for her.

However, before Wei Jianning officially named her Crown Princess, it didn't seem wrong for others to call her that, but for her to bow was a bit excessive.

She looked up at her, a fierce glint in her eyes.

“Princess Yumin, although the Crown Prince has not officially named me Crown Princess, he has already said in public that even if you are unwilling to call me sister-in-law, we are of the same generation, and I do not need to bow to you!”

"The Crown Princess? Hahaha..."

Yu Min suddenly threw her head back and burst into laughter. The maids beside her also covered their mouths and laughed along with her.

Although Lan Zhi felt annoyed, she didn't show it. She just watched quietly and waited for them to finish laughing.

Seeing that she didn't react, Yu Min's expression froze. "Who doesn't know that Lin Yuwei is the Crown Princess chosen by the Emperor? You... a woman from the countryside, you'd be more than qualified to be the Crown Prince's bed warmer, yet you still dare to dream of becoming the Crown Princess? How ridiculous."

Princess Yumin, please be careful with your words.

Lan Zhi interrupted her, displeased.

“You came to the Crown Prince’s residence to accompany Wei Ming. If you continue to criticize me, I will have Wei Jianning inform the Emperor and ask you to move out.”

"Humph!"

Yu Min crossed her arms in anger and glared at her coldly.

"What? Am I in your way? Is it inconvenient for you to bully Wei Ming?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't bully him."

"Hmph! My elder brother and sister-in-law were both killed by you. The day before yesterday, you even went to Jingxiang Garden and beat up Granny Zhuang. Isn't that bullying?"

Lan Zhi looked at Yu Min, who was very pretty but had a sharp tongue, and reminded her, word by word.

“Yu Min, this is the first and last time I’m explaining this to you. Listen carefully: Wei Jian’an intended to rebel, and he deserved to die. Jiang Yaru died by hanging herself, what does that have to do with me? As for Granny Zhuang, she tortured my maid, and I just told her to return her. Do you understand now? If you dare to pin these things on me again, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Yu Min was startled by her powerful aura, then blinked hard a few times guiltily.

"Anyway, you're no good person. You're just a country girl, yet you dream of climbing the social ladder. Don't you even know if you're worthy?"

Whether someone is worthy or not is not for you to decide, nor is it your business.

After saying that, she glared at her fiercely and left.

Yu Min was so angry that her face turned red, and she muttered to the maid beside her.

"She...she's just a country girl, how dare she be so disrespectful to me, a princess? Tell me, do you think I can tolerate her?"

The girl replied cautiously:

“Princess, now all the servants in the Crown Prince’s residence have tacitly accepted her as the Crown Princess, and she is the one who calls the shots in the entire residence. Please don’t confront her directly.”

"Hmph! Not going to force me? Then what am I doing here? Am I really here to keep Wei Ming company?"

She rolled her eyes at the maid with resentment, then forcefully plucked two daisies from beside her, angrily threw them on the ground, stomped on them twice, and muttered under her breath.

"Little wildflower, how dare you disrespect this princess! This princess will make you pay!"

She came to the Crown Prince's residence on the Empress Dowager's orders to sow discord between Wei Jianning and Wei Ming, planting a seed of hatred in Wei Ming's heart. Once this seed takes root and sprouts, it will surely deliver a fatal blow to Wei Jianning when he grows up.

But she just couldn't stand Lan Zhi. Why should a country woman like her have the privilege of being the only one in the family? What did she do to deserve this?

……

When Lan Zhi returned to the front yard, her pent-up frustration instantly dissipated.

Go against the wind – these were the four words she had been constantly reminding herself of.

Determined to vent her anger, she was determined to obtain the position of Crown Princess.

Wei Jianning returned just before dinner.

He was stunned by what had happened in the mansion, and even more furious about Consort Liang sending Lin Yuwei into the mansion.

"I'll go find my mother right now and have her take the person away."

Lan Zhi quickly grabbed him,

"Husband, don't be anxious. Lin Yuwei was personally selected by the Emperor to enter the Crown Prince's residence. If you let her go now, wouldn't that be disobeying the imperial decree?"

Wei Jianning, with one hand on the armrest of the chair, gritted his teeth and angrily rebuked:

“I used to think my mother was selfish, but I never imagined that after all we’ve been through, she would still be so selfish. She doesn’t even care about the kindness you’ve shown me. Not only did she not stop Father from forcing women into the Crown Prince’s residence, she even personally sent them here. She’s really gone too far.”

"It's not her fault. After all, I come from a poor background. I have neither money nor connections, so I can't help you secure your position at all. She also wants to find you a woman with strong backing."

"You are the person who has helped me the most in my life, and no one else can compare."

He reached across the table and placed his hand on hers. "Lan Zhi, no matter what others do, you must believe in my love for you, okay?"

Lan Zhi smiled slightly and nodded emphatically.

"Okay, I believe you."

She didn't tell him about the bet she made with Consort Liang, because he was afraid that if he knew, he would blame her for not trusting him.

At dinner, Lin Yuwei insisted on sitting with them, and with Yu Jie included, there were now four people at the table.

Wei Jianning picked up a piece of pork rib and placed it in Lan Zhi's bowl, whispering to her with eyes full of love,

"Lanzhi, sweet and sour pork ribs. I specially ordered the kitchen to make this for you. Do you remember when we were in Kangzhuang Village, our family was poor? You would save all the meat for me to nourish my body, and you wouldn't eat a single bite. Now that we're better off, you can eat whatever you want..."

On the surface, he seemed to be reminiscing about the past, but in reality, he wanted Lin Yuwei to know that his relationship with Lan Zhi was built on shared joys and sorrows, and it wasn't something that could be easily broken up by ordinary people.
