Chapter 1854: Chapter 1792: Protected by Someone

A dignified lady, standing in the middle of the street, publicly scolded for being ignorant of etiquette and rules—what kind of feeling is that?

Utter humiliation, wishing to find a crack in the ground to hide in!

Let alone, being scolded by a man, and not just any man, but a prince. If this spreads, who knows what unspeakable disgrace people might think she’s done? Will she still be able to marry?

Wan Baozhu nearly fainted on the spot. How could he humiliate her like this!

Seeing the surrounding people whispering and pointing, her face instantly turned as red as pig liver, her lips parted, yet she dared not utter a single word!

He’s a prince, and she’s the daughter of a minister; how could she dare retort!

Ah Jiu glanced at her coldly, hugged Wufu, and left—what a joke.

Wan Baozhu watched them leave, and couldn’t help but burst into tears and run away.

"Miss." The maid servants chased after her.

Miss Qi watched the direction Ah Jiu and the others disappeared into, then looked at Wan Baozhu running away, her beautiful brows furrowed.

Meanwhile, Wufu who had walked some distance, provocatively remarked to Ah Jiu, "Prince Jin is quite popular, huh."

"Stop talking nonsense." Ah Jiu glared at her, "Next time you meet someone like this, slap them back hard."

Wufu shrugged and asked, "Whose family do they belong to?"

"Marquis Qi’s Mansion and the Minister of Works."

Wufu raised an eyebrow, making a mental note.

This small incident did not affect their mood; they wandered around the street and returned to the mansion with heaps of items.

After a short rest at the mansion, Ah Jiu went to the study for discussions, while Wufu instructed Purple Jade to bring out the roster handed over by Chi Er and the others.

Last year, when Ah Jiu returned, Wufu had Chi Er and Chi Si escort him—firstly to protect Ah Jiu, and secondly to act as her vanguard in Beiyan.

Wufu firmly believes that one must know themselves and their enemies to win a hundred battles. She was not familiar with the power dynamics and connections in Beiyan and hadn’t had time to establish her own forces there. To avoid coming to Beiyan like a headless chicken, uninformed about the roots of various matters, she naturally sent people ahead.

Thus, Chi Er and the others arrived and had been secretly setting up her intelligence network and sorting out relationships among the Capital’s various families before her arrival.

It’s worth mentioning that Chi Yi, the first she sent out, also established a base with the North Wolf Team here. Chi Er and the others connected with Chi Yi and quickly built up their intelligence network.

As soon as Wufu arrived, Chi Er and Chi Si presented her with the roster.

Flipping open the roster, Wufu found Marquis Qi’s Mansion and glanced at the relationship chart, spotting a name—the legitimate daughter of the current Marquis Qi, Qi Yuyan, age sixteen, unmarried, excelling in virtue, appearance, and domestic skills, a standout among noblewomen.

Such people are typically prepared for the Imperial Family, cultivated according to their standards.

Wufu thought of Qi Yuyan’s fleeting complexity when looking at Ah Jiu today, and couldn’t help but scoff.

No matter who she’s prepared for, if she dares to touch her Ah Jiu, she’ll cut off her claws!

The incident of Qi Yuyan and Wan Baozhu blocking Ah Jiu reached Empress Dowager Mo’s ears in the palace, and the next day, Empress Dowager Mo assigned a Palace Matron, specialized in training palace maids and imperial consorts, to the Wan Family, under the guise of instructing Miss Wan in etiquette, humility, and respect, bringing a thick booklet, making life miserable for Miss Wan, especially Wan Baozhu.

Empress Dowager Mo’s action undoubtedly announced to all: her daughter-in-law shall not be disrespected, scaring Minister Wan into quickly arranging a distant marriage for his daughter, marrying her off at high speed, without further mention.
