The life swap begins with Consort Hua becoming Lady Qin.

Two days later, on the fifth day of the second lunar month.

As dawn broke, Yu Die entered the palace carrying a rather thick booklet. Lang Hua had only flipped through a few pages when her eyes slowly brightened, and she became completely engrossed in reading it.

It's rare that even breakfast is treated so casually.

Upon seeing the rest, Langhua couldn't help but gasp softly.

wonderful!

Absolutely brilliant!

Three years ago, she knew that Xu Shi could not stand the hypocrisy and ruthlessness of Sheng Hong and Wang Ruoyu, so she simply moved out of the Sheng family mansion and set up her own household.

He also knew that Madam Xu wanted to adopt Lin Qinshuang as her daughter, bring her into the family as a son-in-law, and have her child take Madam Xu's surname after the child was born, so that he would have someone to rely on in his old age.

They even sighed about it.

Unexpectedly, her momentary lapse in judgment led to Wang Ruoyu's wish to marry into the Sheng family, and this unexpected joy followed.

Lin Qinshuang, who only sought wealth and status and not a shred of true affection, decisively abandoned her deep love for Sheng Hong in order to obtain the substantial private property of Old Madam Xu. They even argued fiercely and to the death.

It's truly amazing!

Moreover, Lin Qinshuang was incredibly audacious; her claim of having a son-in-law marry into the family was completely fabricated!

The child she gave birth to two years ago, who took Xu's surname but was still named Changfeng, was her and Wei Jing'an's child.

When Langhua turned to this point, she couldn't help but sit up straight.

She picked up a poor scholar in the freezing cold, concealed her identity, fell in love with him, and after he became pregnant, she decisively left him.

She gained a child who could take care of her in her old age, and she didn't have to worry about a man coming to take away her inheritance.

Unheard of.

I've never heard of such a thing.

And that's not even the most exciting part!

The exciting part is that Wei Jing'an and Lin Qinshuang reunited before the New Year.

When Lin Qinshuang's scheme was exposed, Wei Jing'an did not make a fuss or get angry. He simply searched for her and went a long way to personally guard her, keeping a close watch on her and never leaving her side.

This matter even alarmed the Xu family.

The latter simply went there in person to explain the reason. In short, the two women, a widow and an orphan, had no choice but to commit this deception.

It is also said that Wei Jing'an has a bright future ahead of him, and it would be a pity if his reputation were damaged because of this matter.

She offered ten thousand taels of silver and a mansion in the capital as compensation.

I only hope that both sides can part amicably.

But Wei Jing'an refused.

His words were recorded verbatim in the booklet: "You are Shuang'er's savior and her adoptive mother. I have no objection to the child taking your surname. As for whether we should separate or not, please don't bring it up again, lest it damage our relationship."

Wei Jing'an added that he would be stationed in another province for the next three years. He would strive to climb the ranks. He was confident that in about ten or twenty years, he would be able to return to the capital, donning a scarlet robe, or even a purple robe.

Then, he asked Madam Xu, "Today, you can guarantee that she and her son will have no worries about food and clothing. But when Feng'er grows up and it's time for him to get married, will it be more beneficial for him to have a father who is an official, or for him to have a father who is a son-in-law?"

Xu remained silent.

Then, Wei Jing'an conceded another step: "If Shuang'er doesn't want to marry, then she doesn't have to. The wedding can be canceled, and the marriage certificate can be left unsigned. I don't care whether they, mother and son, are surnamed Xu or something else."

"Only one thing."

"Please don't separate our family of three again."

……

Xu was eventually persuaded.

Lin Qinshuang eventually returned to the Xu residence with Madam Xu.

From then on, Wei Jing'an was able to freely enter and leave the Xu family's residence, and even stay overnight.

He also began to openly take Changfeng out for trips and even bring the child to visit his colleagues' homes.

When asked by others, he frankly said that he was his son, but due to past ties, he now took his maternal grandmother's surname.

Upon seeing this, Langhua couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Turning to the last page of the booklet, there was only one line written:

Ten days ago, the Xu family invited a doctor, and Lin was found to be pregnant again.

Langhua's fingertip hovered over that line of words, and she slowly smiled.

"Now that we have Changfeng, it's Molan's turn."

Suddenly, a young palace maid came in to report: "Your Majesty, Prince Wang Erlang has already entered the palace with his new bride."

Yu Die hurriedly said, "Your Highness, if we don't do our makeup soon, it might really be too late."

Langhua finally came to her senses, got up and walked to the dressing table, letting Yudie begin to do her makeup. She took the opportunity to flip back to the previous pages with some lingering interest, and happened to see Wei Shuyi's name.

She suddenly remembered that at the wedding banquet two days ago, her mother had enthusiastically pointed out a young man in the corner to her.

The young man was extremely tall and robust, yet possessed exceptionally handsome features, making him stand out conspicuously in the crowd.

That was Di Qing's second son, Di Yong.

When Langhua looked in that direction, she saw the young man holding a teacup, his gaze fixed on something not far away.

She followed his gaze and saw Wei Shuyi enjoying the dishes with his younger sister.

The mother's meaning was clear: she wanted to act as a matchmaker for the two.

Di Qing's son is naturally good.

Langhua couldn't help but think of other things.

The child will follow the mother.

Wei Shuyi will definitely give birth to Minglan.

Lin Qinshuang will definitely give birth to Molan.

After many twists and turns, the two Lan sisters still managed to become sisters, only they were no longer half-sisters.

Because of this, Wei Shuyi, who now has a brother who has passed the imperial examination, no longer needs to sell himself, and Lin Qinshuang, who has gained special favor from Madam Xu, no longer looks down on Sheng Hong.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, both sisters will get a new father.

Hmm... Xu Molan?

Di Minglan?

What will it be like when the two children are together again in the future?

"That's interesting too."

Langhua smiled, closed the booklet, and casually put it into the drawer under the dressing table.

Yu Die helped her put on the last hairpin and said with a smile, "Your Majesty looks radiant today."

Langhua looked at her reflection in the mirror and smiled.

That's not good, is it?

After watching such a wonderful spectacle, I was naturally in a good mood.

She stood up and adjusted her cuffs.

"Let's go."

"Don't keep my second brother and sister-in-law waiting."
