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

After saying that, her face flushed red, and then she asked,

"By the way, I heard that after my fourth brother left, Lin Yuwei also returned to the Lin residence. Has she come to cause you any trouble these past few days?"

Lan Zhi shook her head and chuckled.

"No, the person she wanted to marry was your fourth brother. Your fourth brother had just left when she couldn't wait to leave as well. Judging from her appearance, she didn't even want to stay in the Crown Prince's residence for a little longer."

"That's not necessarily true. I've seen her frequently visiting Fangcaozhai these past few days, supposedly to have tea and chat with Consort Liang. She also often goes to Changshou Palace to play chess with the Empress Dowager. Clearly, she wants to use external forces to achieve her goals. You'd better be careful."

Lan Zhi casually twirled the teacup in her hand.

What she wants to do is none of my business.

Yu Jie stared at her in astonishment.

"Lan Zhi, she wants to be the Crown Princess and wants to take the position that should belong to you. How can this not have anything to do with you?"

"If she can take it, that's her skill. What belongs to me, no one can take away. What doesn't belong to me, there's no point in forcing it."

This……

Yu Jie nodded, somewhat helplessly.

"Fine, if you don't care, then I won't bother with you anymore. But I have to remind you, Consort Liang is Wei Jianning's biological mother. If you don't let her approve of you, even if Wei Jianning likes you a lot, she will eventually become a hindrance between you. After all, she is the one who gave birth to Wei Jianning."

After saying that, she breathed a sigh of relief. "No matter what, the fact that you have so much faith in my fourth brother proves that he treats you well. I really envy you!"

Seeing Yu Jie's somewhat melancholy expression, Lan Zhi couldn't help but offer some words of comfort:

"You will find a husband who will treat you well and love you very much in the future."

For some reason, when Lan Zhi said those words, Yu Jie thought of Yuan Tianxiong. She blinked hard a few times, trying to clear Yuan Tianxiong's mind, but this only made her feel more agitated.

Everything was going well. She spent her days learning kung fu from Yuan Tianxiong and bickering with him, and time seemed to fly by.

But now that he's gone, her only source of joy is gone, and she feels bored every day and life is dull.

Just then, Ah Qi rushed in.

"Miss, Consort Liang has arrived."

Consort Liang?

Upon hearing those two words, Lan Zhi's eyes instantly turned cold.

"Who else?"

She seemed to have anticipated that the other party must have come prepared.

Ah Qi glanced at her, pouted, and replied:

"And that guy surnamed Lin."

"Lin Yuwei?"

"Who else could it be but her? She brought so many things with her; it seems she doesn't want to leave."

"What? She's moving in again?"

Yu Jie asked in astonishment, then looked at Lan Zhi.

"See? I told you she was always hanging around Consort Liang's place, she must be up to no good. Now look what's happened, she's trying to usurp my place. My fourth brother isn't here, there's no one to back you up. The Lin family is different, you better watch out."

Lan Zhi didn't expect that Lin Yuwei, who had already moved out while Wei Jianning was away, would come back again.

It seems she's up to no good!

However, since they had come, and even came with Consort Liang, she had no reason to avoid seeing them.

Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief and was about to step outside when she saw Consort Liang walk in with a gloomy face. Before she could even stand still, she glared at Lan Zhi and launched into a barrage of impolite questions.

"You've got quite the airs. You're not even the Crown Princess yet, and you're already putting on airs like one? I'm an Imperial Concubine, after all. I'm already being magnanimous by not making you kneel and bow. What kind of behavior is this, dawdling around in the room?"

If it weren't for the fact that she's Wei Jianning's mother, Lan Zhi would definitely beat her up every time she sees Consort Liang.

Lan Zhi swallowed lightly and replied calmly:

"I was just exchanging a few words with Princess Yujie when you came in before I could leave. Why didn't you let me know in advance? I would have brought all the servants to line the entrance to welcome you."

"Hmph! What do you mean by that? I'm coming to the Crown Prince's residence to visit my own son. Do you think I need to inform you or get your permission? Who do you think you are? Don't take yourself too seriously."

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The gates of the Crown Prince's residence are wide open, and you are welcome to come whenever you wish. But it's pointless for you to keep harping on the fact that I didn't come out to greet you."

"you……"

Consort Liang knew that Lan Zhi took advantage of Wei Jianning's kindness to her and didn't respect her at all, nor did she treat her as an elder.

No matter how much she had done for Wei Jianning, her status as a country woman meant that she could not be with Wei Jianning.

She didn't want to say anything more to her, so she strode over and sat down in the main seat. Lin Yuwei walked in at that moment, looking at her with a fawning expression.

"Aunt, everything is arranged."

Aunt?

This title truly disgusted Lan Zhi.

Lin Yuwei really went to great lengths to please Consort Liang.

When Consort Liang saw Lin Yuwei, her expression immediately changed.

"That's right. You were originally chosen by the Emperor to be the Crown Princess. Ning'er is away on a military campaign. If you move out now, wouldn't that give people something to talk about? You're not allowed to leave this time!"

Lin Yuwei nodded hurriedly.

"I understand, Aunt. I will do as you say."

Listening to their conversation, Lan Zhi felt goosebumps all over her body, while Yu Jie snorted dismissively.

“My fourth brother is not here and won’t be back anytime soon. Lan Zhi has my fourth brother’s promise, so she can wait for him to come back with peace of mind. But you are different. When your fourth brother comes back, he will just dismiss you with a word. Wouldn’t you have waited in vain?”

"you……"

Lin Yuwei's face flushed red with anger at her words. Just as she was about to retort, Liang Fei interrupted Yu Jie, saying...

"Princess Yujie hasn't even sorted out her own affairs yet, what is she doing running to the Crown Prince's residence? I heard that the Emperor has confined you and forbids you from leaving the palace until Ning'er returns in triumph. Am I mistaken, or have you forgotten?"

Consort Liang's words left Yu Jie speechless for a moment.

It was wrong of her to sneak out of the palace. If this Consort Liang were to go to the Emperor and speak ill of her, the Emperor would be furious and punish her.

It seems she should be sensible and leave quickly!

Thinking of this, she glanced at Lan Zhi and raised her voice to remind her:

"Lan Zhi, let me remind you, you have to be careful of some people, they might be up to something bad."

"Who are you talking about?"

Lin Yuwei pointed at Yu Jie and said, "Don't make veiled accusations. I don't think I've ever offended you, so why are you being so sarcastic?"

Yu Jie glared at her resentfully, and before turning away, she murmured:

"If you dare offend me, if you dare steal my man, I'll tear you to pieces, pull out your tendons and bones..."

Lin Yuwei trembled with fear at her words, while Consort Liang angrily rebuked her:

"Princess Yujie, aren't you afraid that I'll tell the Emperor what I saw today when I get back?"

Yu Jie snorted, turned around, waved to her maid, and strode away.

The place was temporarily calm again. Consort Liang glared in the direction Yu Jie had left before gently comforting Lin Yuwei:

"Yu Jie is just a wild child, don't take her seriously."

“Auntie, my mother taught me from a young age to be magnanimous. How could I possibly hold a grudge against her? As long as she didn't upset you, that's all that matters.”

"How could I possibly get angry with a mere brat? If she dares to provoke you again, just tell me, and I'll deal with her."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
