The life swap begins with Consort Hua becoming Lady Qin.

Lin Qinshuang saw Wei Jing'an again two days later, and he even brought a matchmaker to her door in a solemn manner.

The scene threw Fang's mother into a panic, and she kept saying that she needed to ask Shuang'er before she could make a decision.

"Oh dear, what's the point of asking? Marriage is a major life event, decided by parents and arranged by matchmakers. Madam Fang should just agree; why ask the young lady? A young lady who is not yet married should not discuss such matters—"

Before the matchmaker could finish speaking, Madam Fang disregarded etiquette and turned to rush to the backyard.

Just after passing through the moon gate, they were met by Lin Qinshuang, who had a solemn expression on her face.

Madam Fang quickly lowered her voice: "Shuang'er, you heard it too, what should we do?"

As she spoke, she glanced back guiltily, her face clearly displaying four words—

A guilty conscience needs no accuser.

They originally only wanted to take advantage of the man's body, hoping to get rid of his father and keep his child, but who would have thought that he had already planned the marriage certificate and betrothal gifts!

This Lord Wei is truly an extraordinary person.

The man standing to the side was overjoyed at such a thing, but he had already invited a matchmaker!

"Where did he get the money, you tell me?" Mrs. Fang couldn't help but mutter. "How could he even afford a matchmaker?"

Lin Qinshuang took a deep breath: "Agree first."

"what?"

"I agree, but I won't exchange the betrothal gifts. First, get the matchmaker away, and you should go too, Mother. Just say you're going to inform the elders of the clan to come over. Do you still have the medicine from the other day?"

Mrs. Fang's expression changed slightly: "Yes, we do. They're all still with me, not just the medicine..."

At this point, Mrs. Fang's face flushed red again. Who would have thought that she, throughout her life, was down-to-earth, cautious in her words and deeds, and quick-witted and eager to learn...

The older they get, the less decent their learning becomes!

"There are also some... fragrances, like meatballs, which are said to have the same effect. Sister Shuang, are you thinking of...?"

Lin Qinshuang said, word by word:

"The day the results are released will be the day I cut ties with him completely, whether I'm pregnant or not."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Mrs. Fang stood there stunned for a long time, then sighed softly and gritted her teeth to do as she was told.

Although it was a bit strange not to exchange the betrothal gifts, fortunately, she had a flash of inspiration. Returning to the front hall, she slapped her thigh and exclaimed:

"It's not that I'm being coy, but someone in the clan tried to ruin my daughter's marriage. I had no choice but to hide the marriage certificate elsewhere to prevent them from finding it and causing a disaster. I'll go get it now, but it's hidden quite far away. It won't work today, and tomorrow... I'm afraid tomorrow won't work either. The day after tomorrow, or the day after that, I'll come find you whenever I get it."

Upon hearing this, Wei Jing'an had no doubts whatsoever. Shuang'er had already told him that those relatives were heartless and were finding all sorts of ways to bully her and her daughter.

He secretly resolved that he would make something of himself in the future, and once he married Shuang'er, he would protect her and his mother-in-law well!

The matchmaker was amazed, but she had seen all sorts of strange things while wandering the streets all day long. Who doesn't have a few relatives with bad intentions?

Moreover, having already received the matchmaker's money, she naturally didn't want to cause any more trouble. With a smile, she said a few auspicious words and left happily.

Before leaving, Madam Fang turned back and told Wei Jing'an, "Brother An, I don't know when I'll be back. You're the last one to leave, so lock the door for me."

Wei Jing'an immediately agreed.

He was meticulous in his work, carefully closing every part, from the second gate to the main gate.

In the end, only one side door remained open.

Wei Jing'an stood in front of the door and couldn't help but look back at the backyard.

He felt a pang of reluctance, yet he still kept in mind the importance of proper etiquette.

There is ample time.

He told himself this and made up his mind to reach out and pull the side door.

But just then, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed his sleeve.

Wei Jing'an instinctively tried to break free.

But when he turned around and saw that beautiful face, all his strength vanished.

"Shuang'er?"

Lin Qinshuang didn't say anything, but with red eyes, she pulled him to a small corner to the side.

Wei Jing'an stumbled a couple of steps as she pulled him, his mind a mixture of anxiety and confusion: "Shuang'er..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Qinshuang had already thrown herself into his arms.

She abandoned her usual gentle and dignified demeanor, clutching his clothes tightly with both hands, as if she wanted to embed herself into his embrace.

Wei Jing'an's heart started pounding uncontrollably.

"Shuang'er..."

Lin Qinshuang raised her face, tears already streaming down her face: "I'm scared."

"You disappeared for two days without a trace. I thought you had changed your mind and didn't want me anymore."

Wei Jing'an panicked immediately.

"How could this be!"

He almost immediately swore an oath to the heavens, but Lin Qinshuang cried even harder: "How was I supposed to know? You just left without giving me any definite answer. I haven't been able to eat or sleep these past two days, I feel terrible."

Wei Jing'an immediately felt guilty, recalling how he had been so preoccupied with planning how to propose marriage that day, and how he had left without saying a word, truly resembling a cowardly person fleeing in disarray.

"I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. I originally wanted to raise the betrothal gifts and invite a matchmaker to your home so that I could give you a proper explanation. I didn't expect to make you worry so much."

Lin Qinshuang leaned against him, sobbing softly.

"Anlang..."

She called out softly and gently.

"You're not allowed to leave anymore."

How could Wei Jing'an possibly say no?

"Okay, okay, I won't leave."

He only learned today that girls could shed so many tears.

It was largely due to his panic and confusion that he lost his sense of direction.

All he knows is how to coax her.

He repeatedly said he would not go back on his word, repeatedly said he would definitely marry her, repeatedly said that from now on, she would be his wife.

When he finally managed to coax her to stop crying, he realized in a daze that he had been taken into Lin Qinshuang's boudoir without even knowing when.

This is where they first became husband and wife.

Wei Jing'an's face flushed red instantly, and he immediately tried to get up.

"Shuang'er, no. We are not yet married, it is against propriety."

Lin Qinshuang reached out and hugged him, burying her face in his chest, and started crying again: "You said you wouldn't leave."

Wei Jing'an froze.

"Can……"

"Didn't you say you were going to marry me?" Lin Qinshuang looked at him with tearful eyes. "Are you still trying to comfort me?"

"I swear to God!"

"Since you want to marry me, and I have agreed to your proposal, then we are husband and wife. It is only natural for us to share a room."

Wei Jing'an's entire face turned bright red.

"This, this..."

"Let alone sharing a room," Lin Qinshuang's voice lowered, as tender as spring water, "Even if... even if it were like the day before, what difference would it make?"

With a loud bang.

Wei Jing'an felt his mind go completely blank.

-

Wei Jing'an didn't leave after all.

They were even kept in this mansion for three consecutive days.

On the morning of the third day, he repeatedly assured her that since he had already decided that Shuang'er was his wife, he would never change his mind in this life, and he would never again treat her as an outsider based on any etiquette or rules.

Lin Qinshuang finally saw him off personally through the side door.

Until that figure, who kept turning back to look at her, completely disappeared at the alley entrance.

The side door slowly closed.

Lin Qinshuang turned around, her face now filled with worry as she touched her lower abdomen.

"My child..."

She murmured softly.

"You should be here soon."

"Otherwise, given how serious your father is, your mother really wouldn't dare to get involved with him any further."

"The only option is..."

"We've given you a new dad."
