The life swap begins with Consort Hua becoming Lady Qin.

Outside the carriage, Sheng Hong was still talking to his servant.

He said he would be taking up his post soon, and before leaving he only wanted to see his mother one last time, kowtow to her, and ask her to let him know.

The servant looked troubled. He was too embarrassed to say that the mistress had clearly instructed him last time that unless Sheng Hong died or Wang Ruoyu died and she was called to attend the funeral, she would never see him.

Wang Ruoyu yawned in the car, feeling bored, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure flashing by on the street.

A fleeting glimpse of a face beneath the cloak's hood made her gaze freeze.

Wang Ruoyu was taken aback at first, then laughed maliciously.

Sheng Hong returned to the car dejectedly. Seeing her like this, his mood worsened. Just as he was about to scold her, he heard her point to a spot and say, "Look at that one, isn't that Lin Qinshuang, your beloved, your sweetheart?"

Sheng Hong frowned: "I've already said, my relationship with her is completely innocent!"

Wang Ruoyu acted as if she hadn't heard, staring at that retreating figure, her smile growing even more malicious.

"Look at her, doesn't she look like she just came back from a secret rendezvous with some guy?"

The light yet flustered way she walked, the fleeting glimpse of spring in her eyes and brows that she couldn't hide—as someone with experience, she could see right through it.

Sheng Hong frowned subconsciously: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Wang Ruo chuckled, too lazy to argue with him anymore, and even felt a pang of regret.

Unfortunately, Sheng Hong knew nothing about his past life. Otherwise, how satisfying it would have been if he could have seen Lin Qinshuang's appearance just now!

-

Lin Qinshuang entered through the side door and walked straight to the main courtyard where Xu Shi was located without stopping.

Upon hearing her purpose, Madam Xu nearly dropped her teacup, her eyes fixed intently on Lin Qinshuang's lower abdomen, a barely suppressed look of joy on her face.

"really?"

Lin Qinshuang lowered her eyes and nodded gently.

Xu's voice changed: "Quickly, quickly call Doctor Qian."

Half a cup of tea later, the doctor rushed over.

After taking her pulse, he first glanced at Madam Xu subconsciously.

Seeing that the lady's face was full of expectation rather than anger, he felt a little relieved and smiled as he cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Congratulations, Madam, your daughter is pregnant and has just turned one month old."

"really?"

Xu's eyes lit up immediately.

"Okay, okay."

A burst of joy filled the room.

Madam Fang was also very happy. She quickly took out the reward money for the doctor, and then personally took the doctor out of the house, whispering a few words of advice.

Lin Qinshuang sat in the room, her face full of smiles.

When she realized her period was late this month, she had a vague suspicion in her heart. She couldn't help but feel happy, but she didn't dare to be too happy too soon.

Now that her wish has come true, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, after her initial joy, Ms. Xu gradually calmed down.

She looked at Lin Qinshuang and asked in a low voice, "What do you plan to do about the young master of the Wei family?"

Lin Qinshuang's smile faded slightly.

She lowered her eyes, and when she looked up again, her expression was calm: "Hesitation will only lead to chaos."

"Now that I have gotten what I wanted, I shouldn't get entangled with him any longer. From today onwards, I will not go to see him. I will just have Mama Fang send a letter to him later, telling him to wait patiently for the results to be announced. If he passes, he can then focus on preparing for the palace examination."

However, this can only be done after the final imperial examination.

"I'll have to trouble my mother to take care of the wedding banquet."

Seeing her decisiveness, Madam Xu felt a surge of indescribable emotion.

In recent days, she couldn't suppress her curiosity and once found an excuse to catch a glimpse of the young master of the Wei family from afar.

She really has a good appearance.

What's even more commendable is that, according to Fang's mother, the child was very well-mannered, upright, and deeply in love with Shuang'er.

Ask yourself.

If it were her, she would probably have changed her mind and immediately confessed everything to the young master of the Wei family, and they would have become a couple.

But Shuang'er...

So be it.

Yeah.

Madam Xu sighed inwardly, but outwardly said only, "Don't worry, leave everything to me."

Lin Qinshuang returned to her room, immediately laid out paper and ground ink, pondered for a moment, and then wrote a letter.

After she finished writing it, she read it over from beginning to end to make sure there was nothing wrong with it before handing the letter to her mother and whispering a few more words of advice.

Then they completely let go and ignored it.

His swift and efficient manner left even Fang's mother speechless.

When Wei Jing'an received the letter, he still had a smile on his face.

After reading the letter, his handsome face turned completely red.

He couldn't help but bow deeply to his mother, performing a grand salute.

"Please thank Shuang'er on my behalf, Mother-in-law."

"I will certainly live up to her expectations."

After saying that, he closed the door with a fighting spirit.

Soon, the sound of reading aloud could be heard from inside the room.

Mrs. Fang stood outside the door, her face filled with disbelief.

This……

What exactly did Shuang Jie write in her letter? A thin page like that, yet it managed to coax this fool into obeying so obediently.

Inside the room, Wei Jing'an read a book while glancing down at the letter again, his eyes filled with both shame and emotion.

Shuang'er said she had thought a lot these past few days. She said she had been immature, only thinking about her romantic feelings and clinging to him every day, almost forgetting that for a man, the most important thing is his future.

She was afraid that she was not virtuous enough, and that she would hinder his progress.

What I fear even more is that if things continue like this, I will be too ashamed to face his family in the future.

Although the imperial examinations have now concluded, the results have not yet been released.

Even after the results were announced, there was still the palace examination.

She didn't want to be the one to hold him back.

So from this day forward until the day the results are announced, she will restrain herself, suppress her longing, and not see him again.

I hope he can do the same.

After all, if two people are truly in love, why should they be together every day?

Wei Jing'an felt a burning sensation in his chest.

He had never seen such a wonderful girl.

She would rather wrong herself than let him down.

How fortunate I am to have met, fallen in love with, and pledged my heart to her in this life.

No, he has to prove himself, he has to be even more determined!
