Zhu Lexin and Zihua looked at him in disbelief.

One couldn't believe that he was actually speaking for him, and the other couldn't believe that his brother was actually speaking to him in such a tone and supporting that bitch!

"You little brat, do you still know that I'm your sister? How can you talk to your sister like that?"

Zhu Lexin slapped him twice on the head.

"Sister...sister, please stop hitting me. The princess is fine here and she didn't bother you. Tell me why you came here to bother her?"

Zhu Dongting said angrily.

"you!"

Zhu Lexin made him so angry that his face turned red.

It took a long while for him to recover. "You are such a heartless person. How dare you say that about your own sister? Have you forgotten who protected you when she bullied you?"

"Now that you have a good relationship, you are going to team up to bully me, right?"

Zhu Lexin pointed at the two of them angrily. In her opinion, since her brother was acting so abnormal, they must have reconciled.

"Have you forgotten how much she looked down on you in the beginning? Why are you so confused now that she's giving you something sweet?"

"Stop talking, do whatever you want!"

Zhu Dongting felt that he must be crazy. Why did he provoke his sister? He didn’t think it was a big deal before, but now it’s nothing but a headache. He simply got up and left this place of trouble.

"Come back here, I haven't finished yet!"

Zhu Lexin shouted at his back.

Only when his back disappeared did Zhu Lexin turn around and look fiercely at the culprit in her eyes.

She felt that her brother dared to speak to her like this, and the person in front of her must be up to no good.

"Humph, do you feel very proud that Dongting actually helped you bully your own sister?"

Zihua: “…”

She really didn't think so, because no matter what Zhu Dongting did, she would not take it to heart, let alone care.

"In that case, I should go and see the man at the city gate on behalf of the princess. It's New Year's Day and we have to make sure he has a good meal, right?"

Not knowing what he was thinking about, Zhu Lexin burst into laughter.

"Ha ha......"

Just when Zihua thought she was crazy, Zhu Lexin stopped.

"Someone, go to the kitchen and see if there is anything left in the swill bucket. Take it with you to visit the princess's brother."

"Zhu Lexin, are you sick?"

No matter how much she hated him in her heart, Zihua could not tolerate him being treated badly like this. It would have been fine if she couldn't see it, but she could not tolerate him being humiliated in front of her.

"Oh, what's the matter, Princess, are you feeling distressed?"

Zhu Lexin looked at her provocatively.

"He is a beggar now, and it is good enough that he has something to eat. Why, do you still want to be picky?"

"Don't go too far, he doesn't need your charity!"

Zihua wanted to go up and tear her face off for daring to humiliate her...brother like this.

Whether she admits it or not, he is her brother and he once doted on her so much.

"How can it be charity? I am sending this to the princess. Don't worry, I will explain it to him."

"It's not that the princess didn't want to come and see him in person, it's just that the princess is under house arrest and she couldn't bear to see him starving on New Year's Day, so she asked me to bring some leftover food."

Zhu Lexin was so happy that she went crazy. She was happy to see Zihua being humiliated.

"Then don't even think about going out!"

After Zihua finished speaking, he grabbed the inkstone on the table and threw it at her. The ink in the inkstone also splashed onto Zhu Lexin's face. In just a moment, her face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"you..."

Zhu Lexin looked at himself, all black. He was so angry that he was about to speak, but Zihua hit him on the forehead with an inkstone.

"Oh!"

Zhu Lexin's eyes rolled back and she fainted, which scared the servants beside her to death. They didn't react at first, thinking that the princess was too cruel. They had to quickly inform the lady.

Someone ran out immediately, and the remaining people looked at the person lying on the ground. They wanted to help him up, but they didn’t know how to start. They were covered in ink. What should they do?

Zihua calmly took the inkstone and placed it on the desk. This was a pity because she had just sharpened it.

Looking at the copied female training on the side, his eyes were filled with hatred.

Not long after, Mrs. Zhu came hurriedly.

Looking at Zhu Lexin lying on the ground, she was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe, "Princess, is this too much?"

"Go to the doctor quickly!"

Zihua wanted to laugh. It was really unreasonable. They accused her directly without even asking. She was a princess after all. They were just bullying her.

Even though her mother is now mentally ill and her brother has been demoted to a commoner, she still has her father, the emperor, and she is still a princess.

"Mrs. Zhu, please ask Miss Zhu what she did before questioning me!"

Although Mrs. Zhu was angry, she also knew that it takes two to tango.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

The servant at the side quickly recounted the whole story in brief. After hearing it, Mrs. Zhu felt even more dizzy. If Zhu Lexin had not been dizzy now, she would have wanted to slap her to death.

It seems that I really can't blame the princess. She should be grateful for the mercy shown by the princess even though she was beaten like this. If it were me, I would have beaten her to a cripple.

But no matter what she thought in her heart, this was her daughter after all, and she still wanted justice for being bullied like this.

"Even if Xin'er is at fault, we are still a family. Isn't the princess too cruel?"

Facing Madam Zhu's accusation, Zihua snorted coldly, "A family? When did they think of themselves as a family? Since she married into the Prime Minister's Mansion, she has suffered so much that she can't finish talking about it in three days and three nights.

"Since Madam Zhu knows that it was Miss Zhu's fault, that's good. This princess will only give her a minor punishment and a severe warning."

"presumptuous!"

Mrs. Zhu was furious.

"presumptuous?"

"Hahaha..."

Zihua seemed to have heard a huge joke, "Mrs. Zhu, have you forgotten that I am the sovereign and you are the subject? Who is so presumptuous?"

"You, you...but I am your mother-in-law, your elder. Isn't it presumptuous of you to talk back to your elders like this?"

Mrs. Zhu tried her best to argue.

"Oh, elder? People always say that a loving father makes a filial son. May I ask, Madam Zhu, have you ever cared about me since I married into the Zhu Mansion?"

"Have you ever had three meals a day? Do you have enough clothes to wear when the weather gets cold?"

"Did you take medicine when you were sick? Did it hurt when you were beaten by Miss Zhu?"

"None of that, right? Apart from accusing me and helping Zhu Lexin bully me, what else have you done?"

As Zihua spoke, she began to cry, as if she had cried out all the grievances she had suffered.
