The life swap begins with Consort Hua becoming Lady Qin.

"His Highness Prince Yu is going to marry Rujin?!"

Wang Ruofu was sitting comfortably on the couch, drinking tea, when he heard these words. His hand trembled violently, spilling most of the tea, and his body involuntarily leaned back!

"Wife!" Qin Zhengyang quickly caught her, removed the teacup from her hands, and ordered someone to go inside and clean up the mess. He himself looked incredulous and turned to his son, "Brother Bai, this is not something to joke about."

Cheng Bai put down his teacup, his expression calm: "Not now. Judging from His Highness Prince Yu's intentions, he will at least come to the manor to formally propose marriage after the princess has married and returned to her home. Right now, he just asked me to pass on a message and convey his intentions so that the family can make preparations."

Wang Ruofu was helped back into a seat by her husband, allowing Achang, now known as Liu Mama, to do as she pleased. However, she seemed to be still in a dream, her face dazed.

Her youngest daughter, Rujin?

That silly little idiot who spends all his time eating and playing, carefree and without a care in the world?

Has His Highness Prince Yu taken a liking to you?

Is she going to be a princess?

Upon arriving at this conclusion, she was overwhelmed with emotion, but then she couldn't catch her breath, her vision went black, and she actually fainted.

"My wife!"

"Madam!"

"mother!"

Qin Zhengyang and Cheng Bai rushed forward, pinching the philtrum and calling for a doctor, causing chaos in the main courtyard.

Just then, Shilan and Zhang Yun arrived with several large boxes of gifts.

Because they were family members, the gatekeeper let her through without any hindrance. As she entered the second gate, she saw the maids and servants rushing towards the main courtyard in a panic, which surprised her.

When they arrived at the main courtyard, they saw Wang Ruofu being helped onto a couch, Qin Zhengyang feeding her water, and Cheng Bai directing a servant to fetch the imperial physician. They were stunned.

"What happened?"

Wang Ruofu finally caught her breath. When she opened her eyes and saw Shilan, she didn't have time to say anything else. She grabbed Shilan's hand and said in a weak voice, "Shilan, you've come at the right time! Chengbai said that His Highness Prince Yu wants to marry Rujin!"

After she finished speaking, as if to confirm that this wasn't a dream, she quickly turned to her son: "Chengbo, you're not making fun of your mother, are you?"

"How could my son dare?" Cheng Bai said helplessly, "It's absolutely true."

Upon hearing this, Shilan was taken aback for a moment, then her brows relaxed and she smiled genuinely: "This is a good thing!"

She helped Wang Ruofu sit down and said gently, "Prince Yu is the second prince. Although he was sick in his childhood and a high monk said that he should not marry early, which is why he has not yet had a principal wife. But the boy is simple-minded and has always been on good terms with Fu Ge'er. His character is trustworthy. If Ru Jinruo can really marry into the family, it would be a good match."

Wang Ruofu slowly came to her senses, a look of joy gradually spreading across her face, yet mixed with an incredulous daze: "I... I really didn't expect... that our little rascal could have such good fortune..."

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something and quickly dismissed her husband and son, saying, "You two go out first, I want to talk to Shilan."

He then instructed Liu Mama, "Go quickly and call that little rascal over here."

Once only the two sisters-in-law remained in the room, Wang Ruofu took Shilan's hand and asked, "By the way, what brings you here today...?"

Shilan smiled and pointed to the trunks outside: "I don't care about others, but Ru'er is my own niece. She has been implicated by me this time, and her reputation has inevitably been damaged. It is my fault after all. I brought her some things to apologize. I didn't expect it to be so convenient. When I get back, I will find some nice things to add to her dowry."

Wang Ruofu immediately became agitated: "Why are you being so distant with me? Do you think I don't know what kind of people the Li family are? That bastard of theirs, no matter how you look at him, doesn't seem like the son of a respectable family! And he still has the nerve to spread rumors everywhere? He thinks everyone else is blind and deaf, but the Li family can spout nonsense! Oh, so everyone in the world has to follow the Li family's lead? They dare to claim the princess is a precious child, and they dare to fabricate stories about my daughter An'er when she saw injustice. Do they really think they have the biggest face in all of Bianjing?"

"A whole bunch of rotten-hearted bastards, they'll all go to the eighteenth level of hell after they die!"

After cursing for a while, and having vented his anger, Wang Ruofu said seriously to Shilan, "In short, they deserved it. I was so happy with your methods! Even Heaven couldn't stand it and used magic to take them away!"

She patted Shilan's hand, her tone unusually serious: "That's just how it is, don't take it too hard. What was our family like back then? What is our family like now? How can you generalize?"

She paused, her voice lowering slightly: "Back then, that person... stepped on our entire family, using our corpses as stepping stones for her alone. You're just standing up for An'er now. Although your reputation is a bit fierce, we're not the kind of family that begs for marriage proposals for our daughters!"

Wang Ruofu grew increasingly confident as she spoke: "If they can't even distinguish right from wrong, they're clearly not a good family. And if they're not a good family, they're not worth marrying our daughter into!"

These words were exactly the same as those of Chen Ning, the Duchess of England.

Shilan felt a warmth in her heart and her smile deepened. Although she understood that Wang Ruofu's words meant that she had not considered the Li family's later fate in relation to herself, but only thought that the Li family had committed many evils and that they would be punished by heaven.

The actions she was referring to were merely her means of punishing those who spread rumors.

Even so, Shilan felt at ease: "I don't take it to heart. But you still have to accept these gifts, sister-in-law. They are a token of my appreciation for Ru'er from your aunt."

As for Hua Jin, she had just sent a gift to the Duke of Ying's mansion. After all, Zhuang Jie'er, Hua Jin's daughter, was not yet eight years old, so it wouldn't have much of an impact.

Wang Ruofu knew Shilan's temperament; she never took back what she gave away. He could only smile and say, "Alright, I'll accept it. Whether things with Prince Yu succeed or not, you have to come on the day Ru'er leaves. I'll make her kowtow to your lucky aunt a couple more times then!"

"That would be wonderful," Shilan replied with a smile.

Before long, light footsteps could be heard outside.

The curtain was lifted, and Rujin hopped in like a little sparrow. Seeing Shilan, her eyes lit up immediately: "Auntie! What brings you here? I knew the magpies chirping on the branches this morning meant good news!"
