Chapter 198 I am a princess
Old hag!
Wen Yitong cursed inwardly, but then noticed that Madam Chen was staring at her with eyes blazing with anger.
"You are unfilial and disrespectful!" Madam Chen pointed at Wen Yitong and cursed, "Don't think you can be so arrogant just because you are the legitimate daughter of the Duke's mansion! I am your mother-in-law! Even if a princess came, she would have to bow and serve tea to me!"
—Just now, Wen Yitong actually revealed what was on her mind.
But I've already said it!
Wen Yitong sneered, pried open Madam Chen's hand that was pointing at her, and said coldly, "So what if I scolded you? You're just from a humble family, while I'm of noble birth. You should be kneeling and serving me tea!"
Previously, because the Wen family was declining and her mother had a bad reputation, she had been more tolerant of Madam Chen.
But it's different now.
Thinking of her biological father's identity, she couldn't hide the arrogance in her eyes: "If I've been tolerant of you, it's only because of my husband!"
Although Chen Che was not the person she liked, she had taken him from Wen Shuyao. Moreover, she now had the confidence to help Chen Che rise to prominence.
Now it's the Chen family begging her, not the other way around.
Madam Chen looked shocked. She hadn't expected that Wen Yitong would change so drastically in just a few days.
But everyone was saying that the Duke of Wen's mansion would soon be stripped of its title, and she could take this opportunity to divorce that shrew Wen Yitong.
What kind of things did Wen Yitong say today? How dare she speak to her like that? She is Wen Yitong's mother-in-law!
Admittedly, there was some exaggeration in what she said, but if Wen Yitong were a princess, she would have fawned over her long ago. But Wen Yitong was just a fallen noblewoman from a duke's mansion.
Madam Chen looked at Wen Yitong with suspicion and uncertainty in her eyes, and then looked her up and down several times.
Chen Che's face darkened. Although he appreciated Wen Yitong's gentleness and attentiveness, he couldn't stand seeing Wen Yitong bully his mother in front of him.
"Insolence!" he said coldly. "In our Chen family, the most important thing is to respect our elders! Even if you have a noble status, you should still prioritize filial piety!"
However, Wen Yitong, who had just been obedient to him, suddenly changed her attitude.
Wen Yitong sneered, "I think you're confused! Who am I? And who are you? Your whole family should kneel down and bow to me!"
"As for you..." She tapped Chen Che's shoulder, her bright red nail polish extremely eye-catching, "You should come to serve me tea every morning!"
Chen Che was still in a daze, but Ruyi, who had been watching Wen Yitong closely, felt a chill run down her spine. She stared wide-eyed at Wen Yitong and desperately tried to wink at her.
You mustn't say that!
However, Wen Yitong was so pleased with herself that she had unknowingly forgotten her instructions. Staring at Chen Che, she said word by word, "If you don't serve me well now, when I become a princess, the first thing I will do is send your entire Chen family to the Dali Temple!"
"Didn't you laugh at my mother for spending a few days at the Dali Temple?" Wen Yitong sneered, patting Madam Chen's weathered cheek. "Then I'll let you experience what it means to wish you were dead!"
Madam Chen's expression shifted several times. Wen Yitong was extremely arrogant in front of her, and a sense of confusion arose in her heart: "Princess? When did you become a princess?"
"Miss!" Ruyi sensed something was wrong and shouted to stop her.
To everyone's surprise, Wen Yitong acted as if she hadn't heard her and went straight to the point: "Do you know who my father is?"
“It’s not Duke Wen…” Madam Chen murmured.
"My father is Prince Xin!" Wen Yitong interrupted her triumphantly, her voice shrill. "Once my father ascends the throne, I will be a princess!"
"Now that you know my identity..." Wen Yitong sneered, "If you kneel down and kowtow to me three times, I will spare your life!"
She held her chin up arrogantly, making no attempt to conceal her identity.
Madam Chen and Chen Che were already dumbfounded.
Ruyi was utterly heartbroken.
How could such a secret be revealed so directly? Has Wen Yitong gone mad?
Despite her broken heart, Ruyi still tries to salvage the situation for Wen Yitong.
Since learning Wen Yitong's true identity, Prince Xin has sent many people to guard her, and today they have come in handy.
With a wave of her hand, several men dressed in shorts appeared and quickly subdued Madam Chen and Chen Che, covering their mouths and noses.
Seeing this, Wen Yitong looked displeased and glared at Ruyi.
Ruyi pretended not to see it. These few days were the most crucial time. She must not expose Prince Xin's ambition. Wen Yitong's actions were too risky and too stupid. Just to spite Madam Chen, she made such a dangerous move. If they continued to follow Wen Yitong's lead, who knows what kind of trouble she would cause.
So she simply ignored Wen Yitong's opinion.
Wen Yitong's face turned extremely ugly. She couldn't believe that a servant like Ruyi would dare to give her such a hard time.
"you……"
"Miss!" Ruyi's voice was shrill, interrupting Wen Yitong's words. "You should know that this is a secret! By revealing this to the outside world, you are trying to kill the Prince!"
She sternly reprimanded Wen Yitong, whose eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at her.
"You shouldn't go out these next few days," she said. "You and the Chen family mother and son should stay in this courtyard and not go anywhere."
She dared not indulge Wen Yitong anymore. Wen Yitong was like a possessed person, so stupid that it was laughable.
"How dare you!" Wen Yitong said sharply, "Are you the master or am I the master? How dare you..."
"Your Highness sent me to serve you, Miss, to ensure your safety and to stand up for you if necessary," Ruyi said solemnly. "Whatever punishment you may impose afterward, I am willing to accept it."
The words of rebuke that Wen Yitong was about to say stuck in her throat.
After a moment, she closed her eyes.
"Fine," she said through gritted teeth, "I'm not going to stoop to your level!"
After saying that, she lifted her foot to walk out.
"To ensure everything goes perfectly," Ruyi said firmly, blocking her way. "You must remain in this courtyard."
Before Wen Yitong could speak again, Ruyi had already ordered several people to tie up Madam Chen and Chen Che's hands and feet, gag them, and throw them into the woodshed.
She had tolerated Wen Yitong and her foolish mother and son for long enough, and now that she had the chance to retaliate, she naturally wanted to take revenge.
Wen Yitong was so angry that she jumped up and down, gritting her teeth and saying, "How dare you!"
However, her strength was insignificant in front of Ruyi. As soon as she made a move, Ruyi twisted her hands behind her back and sent her into the room.
