Needless to say, Zhao Qingyu is a lackey of Dugu Yue, and it is always she who sows discord between Dugu Yue and the latter that makes things difficult for the original owner of the body.

The most recent instance was probably at a flower-viewing banquet, where Zhao Qingyu deliberately spilled a glass of juice on the original owner's dress, causing the original owner to be embarrassed by wearing dirty clothes in front of everyone.

After careful consideration, Chu Yuan decided it was time to vent her anger on behalf of the original owner.

So she didn't stand on ceremony, "Your Highness, could you buy a few dishes, preferably with soup?"

Dugu Ling didn't ask any more questions and directly sent someone to buy it.

The guards were quite interesting; among the food boxes, there was a bowl of chicken blood porridge that was cooked rather thinly.

Chu Yuan examined the dish, a silent smile playing on her lips.

It would look beautiful if this were sprinkled on clothes, right?

"Well, give it to Miss Zhao Si. I'm not that petty. As long as she 'eats' the food in the food box, that's fine."

Zhao Qingyu clenched her fists, looking at Dugu Ling with a wronged expression, "Your Highness, I didn't..."

Dugu Ling completely ignored her, glancing at the kneeling crowd and the terrified Minister Zhao, "Minister Zhao, do you also think that I, the Crown Prince, am indiscriminately accusing people?"

The latter's expression trembled, she glared at Zhao Qingyu, and hurriedly said, "No, no, Your Highness is kind and benevolent, and has never wronged anyone. If Your Highness has found fault with my daughter today, then it must be because she did something wrong."

He then harshly rebuked Zhao Qingyu, "You unfilial daughter, who gave you the audacity to defy His Highness? Do as you please!"

In fact, many people in the capital knew how Dugu Yue and her lackeys bullied Ji Yunyuan. Lord Zhao himself had also heard about it, but since no one stood up for Ji Yunyuan, he pretended not to know.

I never imagined that one day someone would stand up for Ji Yunyuan.

The key point is that this person is the Crown Prince who has been ill for a long time and has not left his residence. However, no one dares to underestimate him just because the Crown Prince has been staying at home for a long time. After all, the royal family only has this one Crown Prince, who will be the future monarch.

At least after the crown prince was established, the emperor did not show any intention of changing the heir apparent.

Zhao Qingyu was unwilling and dawdled, cursing Chu Yuan countless times in her heart.

Chu Yuan watched with a smile, not caring what Zhao Qingyu thought. When Zhao Qingyu squatted down like a beggar, opened the food box on the ground, picked up chopsticks and was about to eat, Chu Yuan smiled and bent down to take the chopsticks from her hand.

"Miss Zhao, I'm not telling you to eat like that. Last time, you made my clothes drink juice, so eat it the same way."

Let everyone see the disheveled appearance of the legitimate daughter of the dignified Vice Minister of Revenue.

Perhaps only in this way can Miss Zhao Si truly empathize with me when I was bullied.

"You—" Zhao Qingyu's eyes blazed with fury as she stood up abruptly. "Ji Yunyuan, don't push your luck!"

Chu Yuan retreated to Dugu Ling's side, grabbing his sleeve, "Your Highness, really? Has Yuan'er really gone too far?"

Dugu Ling held her hand, "My Yuan'er is so kind."

As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze suddenly fell on Zhao Qingyu. "Miss Zhao, if you can't bring yourself to do it, that's alright. This Crown Prince doesn't mind keeping them forever so you can admire them every day from now on."

"Guards, cut off her fingers!"

Not only Zhao Qingyu, but everyone was quite frightened when they heard this.

He was horrified that Dugu Ling would go on a killing spree for the sake of Ji Yunyuan, a woman who had always been kind and benevolent.

Dugu Ling didn't care what others thought.

Stepping out of the public eye this time, he suddenly realized that occasionally using Dugu Jue's methods to handle problems was actually quite enjoyable.

There's no need for so much nonsense, yet it's easier to achieve the goal, which is why some people have become somewhat addicted to this feeling.

Especially when dealing with Yuan'er, there can be no compromise. Otherwise, if Dugu Jue does better later, how can he make Yuan'er favor him?

"What are you all standing there for? If she won't eat, then you eat for her!"

Therefore, Dugu Ling became even colder and more ruthless, and gave orders to the guards.

Chu Yuan glanced at his expressionless profile, which looked exactly like the bloodthirsty Dugu Jue.

Surprisingly, he's inexplicably handsome!

Zhao Qingyu was still in a daze of disbelief when Madam Zhao snapped out of it and lunged at her, screaming, "No, don't cut off my daughter's fingers! We'll eat, we'll eat right now..."

As she spoke, she reached her fair fingers into the bowl, grabbed a handful, and smeared it onto Zhao Qingyu's pink dress with gritted teeth.

The latter was stunned, terrified and frightened. Then, the smelly vegetable juice made her tears stream down her face.

Sobbing and choking back tears, she cried, "Mother... sob... Mother..."

Madam Zhao soon joined in the weeping, creating a truly dramatic scene.

A large crowd gathered outside the Zhao residence. Some whispered, some laughed and joked, and some secretly blamed the scene, giving the Zhao family and Zhao Qingyu quite a moment of glory.

It wasn't until Zhao Qingyu's pink dress, resembling a peach blossom fairy, completely turned into a pungent-smelling chicken blood porridge-like dish that Chu Yuan felt relieved. She turned around and said, "Let's go. The smell is too strong. If we stay any longer, we'll feel like throwing up."

Dugu Jue waved for the guards to leave, then jogged forward to catch up with Chu Yuan.

"How are you, Yuan'er? Do you feel much happier?" Dugu Ling asked ingratiatingly as she sat back in the carriage.

Chu Yuan sniffed herself; thankfully, she didn't smell of chicken blood.

In a nonchalant tone, he said, "It's fine as it is."

Perhaps only teenagers would find this kind of revenge meaningful.

She has lived through several small worlds, lived for too long, and her mind is too stable.

This kind of thing didn't excite her.

Seeing Ji Yun's listless and dejected appearance, Dugu Ling felt a little disappointed. She thought that Ji Yun had had a difficult time in the past, and that venting her anger would cheer her up.

It seems the effect is not significant; he needs to work harder!

After silently encouraging herself, Dugu Ling pressed on, "It's okay, I've only done one thing I planned to do today. There are still several more to go. Let's do them one by one."

"What else?" Chu Yuan looked up at him.

When the little fox is being cute and charming, it's even more adorable and irresistible.

She desperately wanted to tell Dugu Ling that at this moment, all she wanted to do was pounce on him.

Unfortunately, the man was too young and naive, and needed time to mature.

In the blink of an eye, Dugu Ling led Chu Yuan to the entrance of the most renowned and grand jewelry shop in the city, his expression magnanimous, "Buy whatever you like, even the whole shop is fine with me."

In the past few days, he had painstakingly investigated what grievances Ji Yun had suffered.

The investigation revealed that, in addition to being publicly humiliated by Zhao Qingyu by having water splashed on her, she also had her jewelry shop robbed by Dugu Yue, who mocked her for being poor, and the New Moon Restaurant wouldn't let her in, even though she was "without status."

You don't know until you ask, and after learning all this, Dugu Ling felt heartbroken.

That's why I'm bringing her along today, to make up for all the suffering we endured back then.

She used to be a princess of a fallen kingdom, living under the roof of others and uncared for by anyone, but from now on she is not.

She was his eyeball!
