Seeing the two chatting happily in front of her, Lan Zhi frowned slightly, then stood up, bowed, and said:

"Since Your Highness and Miss Lin have so much to say, I will not disturb you any longer and will take my leave now."

"stop."

Consort Liang called out to her in an icy voice, "What? Are you unhappy because I'm chatting happily with Yuwei?"

Lan Zhi smiled slightly and shook her head indifferently.

"How much you chat has nothing to do with me. Why would I be unhappy? I'm just worried that it's inconvenient for you to chat while I'm here."

Consort Liang immediately glared at her, "I don't have time to talk to you. Yuwei is staying at the Crown Prince's residence. You must take good care of her and not bully her. If I find out that you are bullying her, or if anything happens to her, not only will I not forgive you, but the Lin family will also be in big trouble."

Lan Zhi replied without any hesitation:

“Every servant in the Crown Prince’s residence has a duty. Miss Lin is capable of doing anything and can take care of her own maid. Why should I take care of her?”

"you……"

Consort Liang was so angry that her face turned red, while Lin Yuwei comforted her with a smile on her face.

“Aunt, if you feel tired, you should go back to the palace first. I’m fine. The person who would bully me, Lin Yuwei, hasn’t been born yet.”

As she said this, she deliberately looked at Lan Zhi, as if to provoke her.

Lan Zhi pretended not to notice, watching Liang Fei and Lin Yuwei say goodbye without showing any emotion.

As Consort Liang passed by Lan Zhi, she whispered a reminder.

"Don't forget, we have a bet between us. Now that Ning'er isn't here, this bet can be extended indefinitely."

Lan Zhi didn't respond to her, but just looked at her back, which was straight and tall, seemingly determined to win, and smiled helplessly.

A moment later, Xiangxiu stormed in, furious.

"Miss, Lin Yuwei is really too much. She insists on staying at Jingyi Garden. When Brother Ling refused, she slapped Butler Ling. You should go and see!"

what?

She dares to hit her older brother?

That's incredibly audacious.

Lan Zhi stormed out of the door and strode straight towards Jingyi Garden.

Jingyi Garden and Jingxiang Garden are adjacent to each other and are the two largest courtyards in the Crown Prince's residence. Last time Lin Yuwei came, Ling Jiawei did not let her stay, but instead made her stay in the most dilapidated and remote Jingcui Pavilion, which made her resent Ling Jiawei.

This time, she came not only to deal with Lan Zhi, but also to deal with everyone around her.

She targeted Ling Jiawei as her first target.

Ling Jiawei frowned slightly and lowered his head to remind him:

"Even if you hit me, you can't stay here. This place is reserved for important guests."

Lin Yuwei crossed her arms and snorted dismissively.

“Ling Jiawei, don’t think that just because your sister is in charge of the Crown Prince’s residence, you can do whatever you want there. Let me tell you, I am the Crown Princess chosen by the Emperor. I moved into the Crown Prince’s residence with the Emperor’s permission and was personally sent here by Consort Liang. The position of Crown Princess will definitely belong to me in the future. When that day comes, even if your sister is just there to carry my shoes, I won’t use her.”

Ling Jiawei suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with a fierce light as he glared at Lin Yuwei, and gritted his teeth as he loudly warned her.

"Lin Yuwei, you can insult me, but you can't talk about my sister. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuwei suddenly became interested.

"Hahaha! You're going to be impolite to me? Well, I'd like to see just how impolite you'll be!"

She raised her chin, took a few steps closer to Ling Jiawei, and looked at him coldly.

“Your sister Lan Zhi is a shameless woman. She has no official title or status, yet she insists on staying in the Crown Prince’s residence and even acts as the Crown Princess. She’s shameless, she’s really shameless.”

Ling Jiawei could tolerate her hitting him, and he could bear to be scolded by her, but he absolutely could not tolerate her scolding Lan Zhi. He immediately raised his hand, pointed at her through gritted teeth, and roared with all his might:

"If you dare say another word about Lan Zhi, I'll throw you and all of you trash out of the Crown Prince's residence."

As he spoke, he started rolling up his sleeves. Although Lin Yuwei was stubborn, she was also a little scared when she saw that Ling Jiawei was getting anxious, fearing that he might do something.

Just then, she saw Lan Zhi leading a group of people hurriedly approaching. She immediately curled her lips into a slight smile and gave a curt snort.

"I knew it, Lan Zhi is a shameless woman, she's shameless, she's shameless..."

"Snapped!"

Ling Jiawei finally couldn't hold back and slapped Lin Yuwei across the face. This scene was witnessed by Lan Zhi, who immediately sensed something was wrong and rushed over.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Lin Yuwei never expected that Ling Jiawei would dare to hit her.

She covered her swollen face, which had been bruised by Ling Jiawei, with one hand, and angrily ordered the people around her:

“Go find my father and tell him that I was beaten. Tell him to bring people to the Crown Prince’s residence immediately.”

Seeing that things were about to escalate, Lan Zhi quickly stepped forward to persuade them.

“Miss Lin, there must be some misunderstanding here. Don’t be angry. I’ll have my older brother apologize to you. If that doesn’t work, you can call him back.”

She can hit Lin Yuwei, but her older brother can't.

Lin Yuwei glanced at Lan Zhi, then suddenly covered her forehead with one hand and swayed backward. Her maid, Xiaoman, quickly stepped forward to support her.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

"My head hurts, my head hurts! Quickly, find me a doctor, and tell my father..."

Hearing this, Xiaoman panicked.

"Someone, quickly go to the manor to inform the master that Miss has been beaten and is seriously injured. She is in critical condition and urgently needs a doctor to treat her."

Lan Zhi couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Can't you think before you speak? Is Lin Yuwei made of paper? You think she'll die from a single slap?"

Xiaoman glared back at her without any hesitation.

“My young lady is of noble birth, unlike some country girls who are rough and thick-skinned.”

Although Xiaoman's words were harsh, Lanzhi did not refute them.

She didn't want to anger Lin Yuwei any further, nor did she want her older brother to be implicated.

She nodded in agreement.

“Your young lady is of noble birth. Quickly help her into Jingyi Garden and let her live there from now on.”

"No."

Ling Jiawei angrily blocked the entrance to Jingyi Garden.

"This is not a place for her to live."

Seeing that her elder brother was still trying to stop her, Lan Zhi quickly stepped forward to persuade him.

"Big brother, move aside."

"No, if she wants to stay, she should go to Jingcui Pavilion. She can't stay here."

Seeing that she had been beaten and that the housekeeper was still so disrespectful to her, Lin Yuwei immediately became furious.

"Fine, you won't let me stay here, huh? Fine, I won't stay here then. You'll have to kneel down and beg me to stay, otherwise I won't stay at all."

After saying that, she coldly gave the order:

"Xiaoman, move all our things to Jingcui Pavilion and wait for my father to arrive."

If her father saw that the Crown Prince's residence had a large courtyard but didn't let her live there, and instead made her live in the most dilapidated and remote Jingcui Pavilion, her father would definitely be very angry, and might even vent his anger on her behalf, which would save her a lot of trouble.

Lan Zhi understood the reasoning behind this. She could have had countless ways to deal with Lin Yuwei, but now that her elder brother was involved, she dared not act rashly.

"Lin Yuwei, you just hit my older brother too, and he slapped you back, so we're even..."

"A mere servant dares to hit me? You can just wait to die!"

As Lin Yuwei said this, she gritted her teeth, as if she had already decided to put Ling Jiawei to death.
