The life swap begins with Consort Hua becoming Lady Qin.

The father's expression shifted slightly as he took the food box, nodding with a smile.

"well."

The Queen Mother, who had remained silent until now, fixed her gaze on the food box, her expression momentarily complex.

In the end, she said nothing and simply got into the carriage with her father in silence.

Before the carriage curtain fell, Wang's father couldn't help but lift it again, waving to everyone with a grin.

"Alright, even a journey of a thousand miles must come to an end. Let's part ways here!"

The carriage gradually disappeared into the distance.

The group stood there watching for a long time, until the car disappeared from sight, before slowly walking back.

After greeting Wang Shiping and Wang Rucheng, Wang Shiping intended to turn to another place, but as soon as he took a step, his wife Zhou gently pulled his arm.

With a smile on her face, Zhou said to Zhou Wanru and Wang Rucheng, "Second Uncle and Second Aunt, we'll head back now. Ning'er is still so young, I'm worried about her."

Zhou Wanru liked her niece-in-law very much because she was sensible, perceptive, and shared the same surname. Upon hearing this, she immediately smiled and said, "Go ahead. If you're too busy at home to take care of the child, send him to me. I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway, and this little guy is still of some use."

"I couldn't be happier."

Zhou smiled and stepped forward, affectionately taking Zhou Wanru's arm, and asked her about the child as they walked.

Zhou Wanru was so pleased with her that she beamed and talked on and on, becoming increasingly animated.

The group gradually walked away.

Wang Ruoyu, who had been standing in the corner the whole time but hadn't been acknowledged by anyone, finally couldn't keep up the act any longer.

She stared intently at Zhou's retreating figure, her eyes brimming with barely concealed resentment.

Good, good, she knew she was a bitch! In her past life, she was willful and gave her a hard time, so it was understandable that she couldn't be close to her. But in this life, she clearly hadn't provoked her, yet she dared to instigate her to become estranged from her brothers!

Wang Ruoyu turned and left.

Sheng Hong's expression was also not good, but he still managed to maintain the last bit of dignity and cupped his hands in the direction where everyone had left.

Once back in the carriage, he lowered his voice and warned, "Who are you giving that look to?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ruoyu's anger flared up immediately: "Didn't you see how they neglected me? Do you expect me to fawn over them for their indifference?"

Sheng Hong hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "After all, we're family. Even if you're angry, it will pass eventually. Besides, I don't think your brother-in-law is necessarily against you."

"What good is it if he's on my side?" Wang Ruoyu sneered. "He's still a useless man, completely controlled by his wife."

Sheng Hong closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, his voice had turned cold.

"Alright, then you can keep up that act. Keep it up for the rest of your life, sharing both the joys and sorrows with me in Dengzhou."

Wang Ruoyu's eyes widened suddenly: "Sheng Hong, do you have any conscience?!"

"I have no conscience?"

Sheng Hong finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"I could have been promoted! If it weren't for your malicious intentions, Lin Qinshuang is just a nobody. Even if there was something between us, you wouldn't have bothered to personally lead bandits to my home to kidnap me! If it weren't for you, how could I have been demoted back to Dengzhou?"

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault, it's all my fault!"

Wang Ruoyu was so angry that she trembled all over, and her eyes turned red.

"Then why don't you divorce me? Why do you still beg the Wang family to take me back? No matter what you say, aren't you just reluctant to give up the Wang family's support?"

At this point, she seemed to regain her confidence, straightening her back slightly: "Even if my father is no longer prime minister, it is still an honor. In a few years, when the rumors have died down, who knows if the emperor won't recall him?"

Looking at her arrogant demeanor, Sheng Hong felt that he had been blind before.

He showed no mercy to her, coldly saying, "I begged you to come back precisely because of this, don't you know that now? If it weren't for this, I would have sent you a letter of divorce long ago."

"Sheng Hong! You!"

Wang Ruoyu felt a sharp pain in her stomach and instinctively covered her lower abdomen.

But by this point, Sheng Hong was too lazy to pretend to be a loving couple with her anymore.

"If you are still like this when you get to your mother, then when you arrive in Dengzhou, you should close the door and recuperate."

Wang Ruoyu's face paled. She had naturally understood the implication in Sheng Hong's words, and a chill ran down her spine. She couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

Her father originally wanted her to divorce Sheng Hong and was willing to fight for her to have her eldest son and unborn child.

But when she thought about life in Sichuan, she felt a thousand times unwilling.

She had never been to Sichuan, but in her memory, she had mocked Wang Ruofu so many times, wasn't it because she had grown up in Sichuan?

Now it's my turn, wouldn't that be a huge joke?

Moreover, she had another thought in her mind.

Although Sheng Hong was demoted back to Dengzhou, since she had taken Wang Ruofu's life, shouldn't Dalang also take Sheng Changbai's life?

A natural-born reader.

The men of the Kang, Wang, and Sheng families combined are not as successful as him.

A son of exceptional talent, destined for high office and great achievements.

After my father, another wisp of smoke rose from the ancestral grave!

Such a good child is destined to be more successful than anyone else.

She didn't want to let others benefit from her success so easily.

But she didn't expect that Sheng Hong was a little different.

"What do you mean by that?"

She asked sharply.

Sheng Hong did not reply, but only instructed Dong Rong, who was driving the carriage, "Go to Jilan Lane."

The carriage arrived at the entrance of the Xu residence.

Sheng Hong got out of the car.

When the servant at the gate saw him, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, wondering why he had come again.

Wang Ruoyu remained in the carriage, only having the curtain lifted.

Her belly was already showing, and she was too lazy to go downstairs. Besides, Sheng Hong would stand there for at least an hour and a half every time, and Madam Xu would refuse to open the door. If it were her, she wouldn't bother with all that trouble.

I heard that Lin Qinshuang, that bitch, has completely bewitched the old slut, and she's actually starting to pick out a husband for her to marry into the family.

It's ridiculous.

At her age, she's still so naive. Does she really think that having a man in the house means she'll be the pillar of the family? If she brings in a commoner, won't he still be at the mercy of others?

Wang Ruoyu sneered inwardly.

She wasn't in a hurry; she wanted to let those valuables remain in that old hag's hands for a few more years.

When Sheng Hong and I return in the future, and when the storm has passed, there will be plenty of ways to take things back.
