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

Chapter 132 I Can't Bear It Anymore

Nie Yuan hurried over to report.

"Your Highness, she insists on going in to see Young Master Ming."

"Princess?"

Lin Yuwei repeated these three words while showing a surprised expression.

"Who is the Crown Princess? When did the Crown Prince appoint her? I've never heard of this."

Nie Yuan was immediately speechless, and Lan Zhi quickly waved her hand at him.

"Call me Miss from now on."

Nie Yuan glared at Lin Yuwei, then nodded in agreement.

"Yes, ma'am."

Ever since he learned Wei Jianning's identity, Nie Yuan's previous love for Lan Zhi had vanished.

He knew he couldn't compare to Wei Jianning, whether in terms of status, appearance, or manner of doing things.

The reason he chose to stay by their side was twofold. Firstly, working at the Crown Prince's residence would make the villagers envious for three days when he returned to his hometown, and his parents would feel proud.

Secondly, he also wanted to see Lan Zhi happy with his own eyes.

Therefore, Nie Yuan was very angry when he saw Lin Yuwei's disdainful expression towards Lan Zhi. However, Lan Zhi had already told her that no matter what happened, he had to stay put until she asked him to.

Lin Yuwei looked Lan Zhi up and down, her gentle demeanor completely different from when she was with Wei Jianning, and asked disdainfully:

"This is the first time I've ever heard of someone claiming to be the Crown Prince's consort before the ceremony has even taken place. That's incredibly audacious."

Lan Zhi looked at her expressionlessly and reminded her, word by word.

"No matter what, I am the one sharing a bed with the Crown Prince now. I am the one he claims to love and the one he wants to marry. This alone proves that I have won. The position of Crown Princess belongs to me."

"Hahaha!"

Lin Yuwei waved the handkerchief in her hand, wiping her mouth lightly while laughing.

"How ridiculous! Sleeping with someone makes you the Crown Princess? Let me remind you, you need to know your place. Stop daydreaming. Crown Princess? You're not even as good as a concubine."

"Miss Lin, please be careful with your words."

Standing next to Lan Zhi, A Qi couldn't help but remind her when she heard Lan Zhi's harsh words.

"The Crown Prince has long recognized my young lady as the Crown Princess, and no one can deny it."

"Miss?"

Lin Yuwei laughed disdainfully again, then looked at the maid Xiao Dan beside her.

"Did you hear that? She said she's her mistress? This is the first time I've ever heard of a country girl daring to call herself a mistress?"

Xiao Dan and Xiao Guo were both Lin Yuwei's personal maids. Xiao Dan was not as cunning or clever as Xiao Guo, so Lin Yuwei would not let her know when she was doing something secretive.

She immediately nodded in agreement.

"Yes, she's just a country girl, yet she has two people serving her. She really thinks she's a lady from a wealthy family. Tsk tsk tsk!"

Lan Zhi frowned slightly, then took two steps forward and slapped Xiao Dan across the face with a loud 'smack'.

"A mere maid dares to mock me? She's courting death. Even though I'm not the Crown Princess yet, I still hold the power to manage the Crown Prince's residence. There's no precedent for outsiders to have the final say in this courtyard."

Xiao Dan covered her face with a wronged expression and looked at Lin Yuwei, who was already red-faced with anger.

If it had been one of the maids beside her who slapped her, she would have definitely retaliated.

But she was Lan Zhi, and she still had some reservations about her, so she didn't dare to easily fight with Lan Zhi.

At this moment, Granny Zhuang came out of the house and, without any respect, stepped forward and said:

“I just went to see the young master, and he still hasn’t reacted at all. Lan Zhi, your life is in the young master’s hands, so you’d better know what’s important.”

Not only did Granny Zhuang look at her with disdain, but she also called her by her first name, which really annoyed Lan Zhi.

She immediately looked calmly at Granny Zhuang.

"What did you call me just now?"

"Lan Zhi".

Granny Zhuang replied without fear:

"Isn't your name Lan Zhi? Am I supposed to call you Crown Princess? You're not the Crown Princess, so even if I called you Miss Lan, you wouldn't be worthy!"

"well said."

Yu Min walked over at this moment and said, "Granny Zhuang, that's right. That's how you deal with shameless people."

Seeing Granny Zhuang's arrogant demeanor and Yu Min's smug, gossipy expression, A Qi immediately reprimanded her:

"Granny Zhuang, you really never learn. It seems I have to teach you a lesson."

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves. Granny Zhuang hurriedly ran to Yu Min's side. With Yu Min providing cover, she continued her shouting.

"I was careless last time and let you two little sluts get the upper hand. If you dare to touch me again this time, I'll break your fingers."

Yu Min smiled slightly and looked at Lan Zhi with a provocative gaze. "Lan, let me tell you, you're just a country bumpkin. Don't try to act tough in front of me. I, Princess Yu Min, don't care about you."

Lin Yuwei couldn't help but laugh mockingly.

"This is really interesting. A country girl dares to show off in front of Princess Yumin and the eldest daughter of the Lin family. It's ridiculous."

Seeing that the two women were acting in unison, Lan Zhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then raised her voice and angrily retorted:

“You are a noble princess and a proud young lady of the Lin family, yet you want to live in the Crown Prince’s residence, which is under the jurisdiction of a country girl like me. What can you do besides make sarcastic remarks about me? If you are really capable, then kick me out of the Crown Prince’s residence. Otherwise, as long as you live in the Crown Prince’s residence, you will be under my control for a day.”

At this point, she looked at Granny Zhuang again, and while walking steadily towards her, she called out a reminder.

"And you, it seems I didn't teach you a lesson hard enough last time, which made you dare to act so arrogantly in front of me. Don't you like to tattle? Well, I'll give you a chance today."

As she spoke, she stretched out her arm and pulled Granny Zhuang directly in front of her. In Granny Zhuang's terrified eyes, she raised her hand and slapped her three times in a row, followed by a kick that knocked her to the ground.

The force of her grip was so great that Granny Zhuang didn't even have time to react. It wasn't until she landed heavily on the ground that she began to beg Yu Min for help.

"Princess Yumin, she hit me."

Yu Min swallowed hard, about to speak, but Lan Zhi immediately stopped her:

"As I just said, if anyone disrespects me again, I will take action myself. Anyone who disagrees can go directly to the Crown Prince to complain. If you have the ability to get the Crown Prince to kick me out of the Crown Prince's residence, then I will be convinced."

She hesitated for a moment before hitting Granny Zhuang.

She knew that by slapping him like that, she would make countless enemies.

But if she tolerates it, even more people will bully her in the future.

Rather than being bullied, she'd rather teach them a lesson and make an example of them. She knew that Wei Jianning understood her and knew she wouldn't hit people randomly.

Seeing that Lin Yuwei and Yumin remained silent after she finished speaking, she spoke directly:

"Nie Yuan, open the door. I'm going in to check on Wei Ming. In the meantime, anyone who tries to come in, beat them to a pulp."
