‘I’m noisy?’ Chi Yao thought.

‘Chi Zhili didn’t come to see her, but to take Chi Yang and Chen Pingting away? Then who am I putting on this act for!’



Chi Yi had just returned from the palace that evening. The moment he entered the manor, he saw Xiao Lianyi who was lying on the couch, sighing.

Prime Minister Chi looked at his wife in confusion. Didn’t she say that she was looking for a wife for their eldest son? What made his wife look so tired?

“Lianyi, are you feeling unwell?” Chi Yi asked as he hastened his steps to his wife.

Xiao Lianyi looked up at Chi Yi, and opened her mouth, before closing them again. She didn’t know how to tell her husband about Chi Yao framing Yangyang today.

The first time she recognized the servant was her lost Yangyang, her husband and sons also confirmed that Yangyang was her biological daughter. Even if they were not close to each other, they could not treat her differently from Chi Yao. As time passed, the mother and daughter would naturally treat each other the same way as they should.

However, they had been apart for ten years, and in these ten years, she had been taking care of another person. How could the girl she cared for change so easily?

Although she wanted to be closer to Yangyang every day, she would inevitably side with Chi Yao when something big happened.

It was to the extent that she immediately thought that her biological daughter was wronged.

At the thought of this, Xiao Lianyi’s tears started to roll down her cheeks like a broken string of pearls.

When Chi Yi saw the scene before him, he didn’t ask anymore and started to comfort Xiao Lianyi. Finally, after coaxing her for a long time, the tired Xiao Lianyi fell asleep on their bed.

“Summon Qing Zhu.” Chi Yi went to the outer room and ordered people to find the dowry maid.

When Qing Zhu heard that the prime minister called for her, she came over hurriedly.

“What happened at the banquet today?” Chi Yi sat on the stool, looking dignified without being angry.

From the question, Qing Zhu knew that the princess had not told him about what had happened today.

Sighing, she told Chi Yi everything.

It was just that the human heart was made of flesh, and this kind of narration often had a certain degree of subjective nature.

Hence, after Chi Yi heard Qing Zhu’s story, he slammed the table angrily.

“Chi Yao, that bastard!”

He had raised Chi Yao for ten years, but he never knew he had raised a bastard who framed her sister and made her mother sick!

It seemed that he had to get rid of Chi Yao as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble…



At this moment, Chi Yang, who was playing in Happy Pavilion, did not know what was happening in Autumn Pavilion. The three of them were happily opening the gifts that Chi Zhili had received today.

Of course, the conversation went like this.

“Big Brother, this jade is really beautiful,” Chi Yang praised as she looked at the raw jade in one of the gift boxes.

Chi Zhili glanced at the raw jade and turned to his sister. “Yangyang, you know about jade?”

She liked to do crafts and usually carved jades, so she knew a little about it.

“A little. I don’t really understand.”

Chi Zhili was eager to make up for the ten years of missing feelings. Hearing Chi Yang’s words, he waved his hand. “Then I’ll look for other jade stones and give them all to Yangyang.”

After saying that, he felt that he couldn’t favor one over the other. He turned to Chen Pingting, who was admiring the fish, and said, “If Miss Chen is also interested, you can tell me…”

However, before he could finish speaking, his face turned red.

Chen Pingting looked at the mountain of congratulatory gifts and got up to look for them.

‘Don’t take advantage of others!’

“Yangyang, how do you know about jade?” Chen Pingting was curious.

She heard Yangyang was lost when she was young and lived a poor life.

“Oh… I like to carve small things, so I have some understanding of jade.” Chi Yang casually said in order to avoid suspicion.

Who knew that Chi Zhili was very surprised when he heard that, “Yangyang! You know how to sculpt?”

Yangyang had been away for ten years, but he was surprised that she also had a skill.

“That’s right. Even the gifts I gave you were personally carved by me!”

‘Those gifts?’

Upon hearing this, Chi Zhili dove into the pile of gifts and started looking for the biggest gift box. Since it was ‘those’ gifts, the gift box should be very big.

Hard work paid off, and Chi Zhili soon found it.

‘Let’s see—’
