The life swap begins with Consort Hua becoming Lady Qin.

Kang Haifeng's smile froze instantly, his pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly moved aside, saying, "Third Sister, Third Sister, don't panic, I won't move!"

"Get out!"

Wang Ruoyu's eyes were fierce.

Kang Haifeng looked completely innocent: "Third Sister, I was being presumptuous. It was also because your letter was so full of emotion. I... I also admire Third Sister."

"What nonsense are you spouting! Who wrote you a letter? How could I possibly like someone like you!"

Wang Ruoyu felt like vomiting after hearing this, and without thinking, she said...

Kang Haifeng's ingratiating expression froze.

"What do you mean by this, Miss Wang?" His voice turned colder. "It was clearly you who invited me."

"Bullshit!" Wang Ruoyu trembled with rage. Looking at that face, and remembering the humiliations she had suffered in her past life, she seemed to instantly transform back into the fiery Kang Wangshi. She immediately retorted, "Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror! What are you! Not even married yet, and your room is a pile of filth, yet you dare to dream of marriage! Even if I were blind, I would never have fallen for you!"

These words were so harsh that Kang Haifeng immediately lost face.

He was a spoiled brat who was used to being fawned over. He was only willing to lower himself and coax Wang San-guniang because she was so famous and beautiful, and she took the initiative to offer herself to him.

Now that she not only denies it but also insults him so harshly to his face, he immediately turned hostile.

"Fine, fine." He sneered twice. "So this is the kind of person the famous Third Miss Wang is. You wrote the letter, you arranged the meeting, and now that you've met her, you're pretending to be a virtuous and chaste woman?"

Wang Ruoyu was almost furious: "Get out! Get out of here!"

Instead of retreating, Kang Haifeng advanced, looking down at her intently, his eyes already showing a hint of wicked anger and embarrassment.

"Get lost? You've already tricked me into coming all this way, what are you pretending for?" He sneered. "You say you look down on me, but behind my back you're all over me writing to ask me out. What, are you trying to play hard to get now that I'm here? Or is this the kind of playful coy game that you high-society ladies love to play?"

Wang Ruoyu's face turned pale, and she raised her hand to hit him.

Kang Haifeng grabbed her wrist and was about to pull her into his arms, intending to force the issue, when suddenly a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. The next moment, the door was violently kicked open!

Sheng Hong stood at the door with a livid face. He glanced at the scene inside the room and his eyes instantly blazed with anger.

"Let her go!"

He practically roared as he rushed forward, shoving Kang Haifeng aside and shielding Wang Ruoyu.

Caught off guard, Kang Haifeng staggered back a few steps, nearly knocking over a bag of rice. After regaining his balance, he looked closely, paused for a moment, and then his expression turned even more grim.

"Sheng Hong?" He gritted his teeth. "Why is it you?"

Sheng Hong had no time to reply at that moment, and only glanced back at Wang Ruoyu. He saw that her hair was disheveled, her clothes were still neat, but her eyes were red, her face was pale, and she was sitting on the ground, clearly having suffered a great shock.

Thinking back to the words he heard before breaking down the door, Sheng Hong felt both pain and anger, and turned around to throw a punch!

Kang Haifeng wasn't about to take a beating for nothing, so he immediately raised his hand to block it, yelling, "What's wrong with you! She invited me here, I didn't force my way in!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Enraged by the punch, Kang Haifeng abandoned all pretense of decorum, rolled up his sleeves, and retaliated, not forgetting to strike at Sheng Hong's sore spot: "What, did I say something wrong? If she wasn't intentionally seducing me, why would she write to me saying she fell in love at first sight and couldn't forget me? If she hadn't invited me, why would I have set foot in such a secluded place!"

Wang Ruo retorted sharply, "You're talking nonsense! I would never write to you to arrange a meeting in my entire life!"

"You never wrote it?" Kang Haifeng glared at her, his voice rising, "Then how come you're here? I couldn't have carried you out of the Wang family's house, could I?"

Wang Ruoyu fell silent instantly.

She herself didn't know why she was there when she opened her eyes.

Seeing her silence, Kang Haifeng felt even more justified and began to speak recklessly:

"I knew it! All that talk about being virtuous and kind, all that talk about being elegant and gentle, it turns out it's all just empty words! She's seducing me on one hand, and Brother Sheng on the other. The manners of the Wang family's daughter have truly opened my eyes!"

"Shut up!" Sheng Hong shouted sternly.

"Isn't that right? If she didn't have ulterior motives, why would this happen? You think you're some kind of hero saving a damsel in distress? You might just be one of her playthings! Today it's you, tomorrow it's me, who knows if there will be others behind us!"

Bang!

Sheng Hong threw another punch.

This time it was even harder than before. Kang Haifeng crashed directly into the crate, gasping in pain, but still cursing under his breath.

The three of them made a ruckus, causing chests and baskets to overturn, rice bags to roll off the floor, and even the door panels to rattle loudly.

Just then, a series of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from outside.

Bang!

The door was smashed open!

The Queen Mother, accompanied by her entourage, stood at the doorway with extremely grim expressions.

When Wang Ruo looked up and saw her mother standing there, she froze.

Eyes facing each other.

The Queen Mother was also stunned.

She came to obtain evidence that her youngest daughter was behaving improperly and meeting with another man in secret.

Since they were both daughters, she naturally wouldn't favor one over the other. She only hoped that her younger daughter could be as obedient as her older daughter, listen to her arrangements more, and not make all the decisions on her own, acting as if no one could persuade her after she made her own decision.

She also hopes to win this time over her husband, who is always good to her.

But when he stepped inside, he bumped into someone other than his youngest daughter.

Instead, it was her eldest daughter, whom she was most proud of, most trusted, and most considered well-mannered, sitting on the ground with her hair disheveled, beside her…

There were also two men surrounding them.

The Queen Mother felt a buzzing in her head, and her vision went black.

But she was someone who had spent most of her life navigating the complexities of the inner quarters of the household, and her loss of composure lasted only a moment. She quickly clenched her handkerchief and shouted sternly, "Close the door! Anyone who dares to utter a single word today, I'll tear their mouth apart!"

Several old women quickly stepped forward and chased away the people who were peeking in from outside.

The Queen Mother strode in and reached out to pull Wang Ruoyu up, saying, "Get up! Come back with me!"

Wang Ruoyu burst into tears, her lips trembling violently: "Mother, I..."

"Shut up!" The Queen Mother practically wanted to shut her up immediately. "Aren't you embarrassed enough already?!"

As she spoke, she was already rapidly calculating in her mind.

Not many people know the inside story yet. If we can take the person away before things get out of hand and then try to silence the orphanage, there might still be room for maneuver.

Just as she was suppressing her shock and anger, trying to calm the chaos down, another voice came from outside: "How dare you! Do you know who my mistress is? The only daughter of the Marquis of Yongyi! Get out of the way at once!"

The Queen Mother's heart sank.

Without hesitation, she turned around, quickly tidied her daughter's hair, straightened her clothes, and then took her own handkerchief and covered her head with it.

After all this was done, the old wooden door was opened again, and Madam Xu slowly walked in.

Her gaze swept across the room, first landing on Sheng Hong. Seeing his slightly disheveled clothes and ashen face, she understood seven or eight parts of the situation.

Looking at the Wang family lady, who was hidden behind the Queen Mother and remained silent with her head down, and Kang Haifeng, who was standing to the side with a face full of resentment, his eyes gradually turned cold.

"I had no idea... that the Wang family's daughter's marriage proposal was arranged in this way."

These words, spoken lightly, struck the Queen Mother's face squarely, like a slap in the face.
