Transmigrating into a book to save her best friend, her sickly husband vies for her affections every

Before we knew it, the day of the banquet arrived.

As soon as Tingyao got off the carriage, Meng** pulled her away and whispered in her ear, "It's so surreal. The classic scene of Xu Tutu being the only one beautiful has been replaced by a competition of beauties. Oh, and Zhang Zhan is here too."

“These past few days you’ve been kept confined by your grandmother and haven’t been able to come out. You didn’t see how miserable Zhang Zhan is. So many people are chasing after him and questioning him. Many people are saying behind his back that he’s serving two princes, unable to let go of the Ninth Prince’s kindness, and also unable to give up the cakes the Crown Prince gave him. They’re hurling all sorts of filthy insults at him. And Zhao Siwei? He’s just hiding like a coward and won’t even come out to refute the rumors! He’s leaving Zhang Zhan to bear all the damage alone.”

Tingyao whispered, "Didn't the Crown Prince also not speak up for Zhang Zhan?"

Meng**: "Zhang Zhan only needs Zhao Siwei to speak up, and he doesn't care about the Crown Prince. No wonder Zhang Zhan later betrayed Zhao Siwei. Such hypocritical brothers."

Tingyao: "..."

She shouldn't have said that.

The two chatted on and on until they arrived at the banquet hall.

Zhao Siwei was talking to Crown Prince Zhao Sicong, and Xu Tutu occasionally chimed in with a few jokes. Zhang Zhan, who was following behind them, was talking to Zhong Youling, pointing out a certain scene.

The scene was eerily peaceful.

Tingyao whispered to Meng**, "Sister, do you think Zhong Youling is pretty?"

"Extremely ugly." Meng** sneered, "He can't even compare to a single hair on Zhang Zhan's head! He's shameless for imitating Zhang Zhan."

Tingyao immediately muted her microphone. When Zhao Siwei heard this negative review, Gao Di Neng was so angry that he turned into a human-shaped balloon and flew out of the atmosphere to explode.

Fortunately, many people around were already whispering that Zhao Siwei and Xu Tutu were a good match.

After wandering around for half a day, Tingyao heard that Zhang Zhan was going to play polo, so Meng** dragged her along to cheer him on.

"Wow, look, Zhang Zhan is so handsome! Look, he scored again!"

Every time Tingyao heard Meng cheer, she clapped enthusiastically to create a festive atmosphere, but her gaze kept wandering over Zhao Siwei in the stands.

Beside him was Xu Tutu's father, Duke Xu Mianzhuo, with Xu Tutu shyly hiding behind him, swaying gently.

Tingyao breathed a sigh of relief.

The most crucial part of the story has finally come to a happy ending.

But if Tingyao could get closer, she would probably see that it was completely different from what she thought.

Xu Tutu wanted Zhao Siwei to accompany her to play Chuiwan (a traditional Chinese game), but Zhao Siwei only said he wanted to cheer for Zhang Zhan and wait to share Zhang Zhan's winnings, completely ignoring Xu Tutu, which made her so angry that she kept shaking her father's arm, begging him to help her.

Unfortunately, Xu Mianzhuo also loved polo, and Zhao Siwei's few words made him forget his daughter's instructions and happily drink and chat with him. Xu Tutu could only angrily accompany the two of them, keeping Zhao Siwei under her watchful eye to prevent any shameless woman from seducing him.

Suddenly, a sudden downpour began, but it did not affect the intense competition on the field.

Suddenly, Shishi leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words. She immediately stood up and said, "I'm going to change. You keep an eye on things for now."

Everyone was busy taking shelter from the rain. Tingyao followed Shishi to the big tree, where she saw Chunqin with blood flowing from her head. She pointed to a secluded spot not far away, reserved for the royal family to rest, and pleaded, "Eldest Miss, please save Second Miss."

Tingyao's expression changed instantly. "Explain yourself."

Chunqin choked back tears: "It just rained. Madam took Second Miss to change her clothes. Second Miss felt something was wrong and asked me to come find you. But the wicked old woman by Madam's side wouldn't allow it and hit me with a stick. I pretended to faint and ran out." She knelt down immediately, "Eldest Miss, I beg you..."

Tingyao instructed Shishi: "If I don't return in a quarter of an hour, go find ** and tell her to quietly go find Young Master Zhong, who is by the Ninth Prince's side."

She didn't even want to use an umbrella while running wildly in the rain.

That crazy old woman, Lady Sun, actually gave her own daughter to the Crown Prince to play with!

When she reached the courtyard, she saw that there was only one guard at the gate. After he used a stone to distract her and lead her away, she pulled out the hairpin in her hand and rushed forward. Just as she was about to push open the door, she suddenly stopped.

The storyline of Ji Anzhi becoming the Crown Prince's concubine is very important later on. Ultimately, the Crown Prince's downfall was caused by Zhang Zhan and Ji Anzhi working together in secret, while Zhao Siwei just took advantage of the situation to kick him while he was down.

Ji Anzhi's original plot was to become the Crown Prince's concubine, and this outcome was very important. However, the result of this process was illegal!

If girls don't help girls, who will?

If she causes Ji Anzhi's tragedy for her own selfish interests today, who will save her if she encounters such danger in the future?

While Tingyao was still thinking, her body went out of control and she kicked the door.

Inside the room, Ji Anzhi was pinned to the ground by Crown Prince Zhao Sicong, her clothes torn open, revealing her private parts, and she continued to scream and struggle.

"Let go of my sister!"

Tingyao went up and pushed him hard, but Zhao Sicong pushed her away heavily. Tingyao got up and gripped the hairpin tightly, as if she was prepared to bear all the consequences. She stabbed Zhao Congzhi's arm with a steady and ruthless thrust. Zhao Sicong, in pain, loosened his grip on Ji Anzhi, and Tingyao used all her strength to push him away fiercely.

"Don't touch my sister with your filthy hands!"

Dog bastard!

Ji Anzhi didn't sit idly by. Seizing the opportunity, she kicked Zhao Sicong in the chest, rolled half a circle, and covered her chest with her torn collar. She then shouted to Tingyao, who was getting up, "Sister, let's go!"

Tingyao was stunned.

Ji Anzhi always treated her like a sarcastic older sister; when had she ever willingly called her "sister"?

Ji Anzhi thought she couldn't get up, so she helped her up and staggered away from the trouble, saying, "Don't let your legs go weak, we have to run away."

Tingyao was pulled along by her and ran outside. In the heavy rain, there seemed to be no direction to choose. Only when they both felt safe did they slowly stop running.

The two sisters held hands tightly in the rain, and only then did Tingyao feel Ji Anzhi's slight trembling.

She quickly took off her outer garment and placed it on Ji Anzhi's shoulders to cover her exposed skin.

"I hate her! She doesn't deserve to be my mother. She abandoned me first, and after finding me, I believed her helpless words. In the end, all her compensation was for this day, sending me to the Crown Prince!"

What does that mean? Tingyao was stunned.

"My mother didn't separate me from the war; she abandoned me!"

My goodness, what earth-shattering gossip! We've stumbled upon our own home while we're gossiping.

"We were fleeing from pursuers. I fell off the carriage. There were pursuers behind us. She refused to stop the carriage in order to save her own life. It was my wet nurse who jumped off the carriage and saved me!"

“I wasn’t found by her. It was because my wet nurse was seriously ill and I had no money to treat her. I had no choice but to come to her. I listened to her only because my wet nurse’s illness required a lot of expensive medicine to keep her alive!”

This was a secret that Ji Anzhi had kept hidden in his heart for ten years. Without ten years of searching for his daughter, she would have been of no use to Sun.

"I hate her. She doesn't deserve to be anyone's mother! All she cares about is her own interests and her son! Her daughter is just an object to exchange for power!"
