When His Majesty pushed the door open just now, Li Changming was only briefly surprised, but now that the matter was over, he seemed not to be afraid of His Majesty pursuing anything, and seemed quite confident.

He seemed self-righteous, as if everyone owed him something and he was the victim.

Shen Shu tugged at Wei Zhaoning, pulling her behind her, and spoke to Li Changming in an icy tone.

"Yes, I did it on purpose."

"If you have any grievances, you might as well go directly to His Majesty and explain them to him, and see if His Majesty will stand up for a scoundrel like you."

The two completely broke off relations, abandoning the image of a good couple they maintained in public, and instead acting like long-lost enemies.

Li Changming chuckled twice, seemingly finding Shen Shu's words quite amusing.

"Since you insist on taking things this far, don't blame me for being impolite. Sometimes you have to learn to focus on the big picture and let go of the small details, and turn a blind eye to some things."

Only then can you go the distance. When you look back later, you'll probably regret what you did today.

He spoke in a cryptic manner, as if he were hinting at something, but no one present could understand him.

Lu Jieshuang was also unclear about what Li Changming meant by those words. She only felt that Li Changming spoke with great confidence and was not afraid of His Majesty at all.

So she stepped forward and mocked Shen Shu.

"The princess is indeed a noble lady; her magnanimity is completely different from that of us mere mortals. She should have kept this to herself instead of letting the whole world see it. Do you think she's not just losing face? Letting everyone know that the princess couldn't keep her husband and was watching him make love with someone else outside is just embarrassing her."

This is something most people couldn't do. But since the princess is going to such lengths to fulfill my and Changming's wishes, then I'll respectfully comply!

Shen Shu looked at the two of them, shook her head, and a chill spread from her heart.

Actually, she was very calm at the moment. She didn't want to argue or make a scene; she just felt disgusted.

Wei Zhaoning couldn't stand it anymore. "Lu Jieshuang, shut up!"

Unexpectedly, Lu Jieshuang scoffed and said nonchalantly, "Ah! I suddenly remembered, Wei Zhaoning, you didn't corrupt the princess, did you? You couldn't keep your own man, and your sister stole him away."

At first, I didn't think this was entirely your fault. But as the saying goes, "one is influenced by one's company," and Princess Changning spent every day with you, yet her man was stolen from her. Shouldn't we look for the reasons within ourselves in this situation?

Wei Zhaoning smiled enigmatically, "Then I wish you all the best. You're so capable, so good at stealing men."

Lu Jieshuang snorted and took Li Changming's arm. "Brother Changming, aren't you going to do what you promised me soon?"

Li Changming paused for a moment, then did not answer directly. "Let's go find His Majesty first."

Lu Jieshuang's relationship with him was ultimately something that couldn't be openly discussed.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that Lu Jieshuang's body had been seen by other people was something he found hard to accept.

Who can allow their woman to have her body seen by other men, especially not just one? If he really marries Lu Jieshuang, even more people will laugh at him in the future.

After he finished speaking, he glared at Shen Shu fiercely.

Shen Shu, you forced me to do this.

If you had turned a blind eye from the beginning, we wouldn't be in this situation today. Don't blame me for harming you; I was just trying to protect myself. Today, it's either you or me; everyone looks out for themselves. Blame it on your own stupidity for not having a backup plan.

He said these words silently in his heart, and Shen Shu did not hear them. At this moment, all the humiliation was settled on Shen Shu alone.

At this moment, Shen Shu suddenly spoke up, "Li Changming."

"On the day I miscarried, were you and Lu Jieshuang having an affair at the Princess's residence?"

Upon hearing this, Li Changming felt as if something had gripped his neck tightly, and he suddenly couldn't make a sound. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, and felt a strange sensation in his heart.

This feeling is probably one of guilt, but he doesn't want to admit it.

There was a long pause.

He suddenly retorted with self-righteousness, "So what if it is?"

"Do you think that my having a mistress is entirely my fault? If our relationship had been really good before, why would I have done this? Don't you understand the saying 'flies don't land on eggs without cracks'?"

"Are you saying all this now to accuse me of being heartless and ungrateful? Let me tell you! I have already done more than enough!"

I've been better than ever to you. You say one, I never say two. You go east, I never go west. What more could you possibly want?

As he spoke, he became agitated, as if he had a lot of grievances to vent.

"Don't try to portray me as a villain. I just made a mistake that every man in the world would make."

I haven't taken a concubine, which is already a great show of respect for you.

"Which man doesn't have multiple wives and concubines? I'm just keeping a mistress outside, and I'm even hiding it from you. Is that such a big deal?"

"I know you're having a tough time during your pregnancy. But have you always been the only one making sacrifices? Haven't I done anything?"

I'm a grown man, helping with embroidery for our children. Who else could do that? How many men in the world could do that?

"You've never seen my efforts, you've taken it all for granted. Don't you owe me anything?"

These words were spoken with such sincerity that Shen Shu's body stiffened slightly. She hadn't expected Li Changming to turn the tables on her.

She had been completely calm, but when Li Changming mentioned "doing embroidery," she couldn't help but tear up when she thought of her unborn child.

It felt like reliving the pain of losing a child.

At this moment, Lu Jieshuang added fuel to the fire, saying, "Princess Changning is still too self-centered. How hard Brother Changming has worked in the Princess's mansion all these years."

No wonder Brother Changming acted this way. If it were me, I would have agreed to him taking a concubine too. Sigh, sometimes, pride can ruin a relationship like that.

She wasn't embarrassed at all, acting like a close friend, and even started advising Shen Shu.

Shen Shu clenched her fists tightly.

"Li Changming".

I didn't mean anything by asking you that.

"I just want to tell you that you killed our child with your own hands, that's all. You're lying to yourself, saying Ningning was the one who killed him, but think about it carefully, can you really keep lying to yourself?"

"In the end, both of you will die a horrible death."

Li Changming's face turned deathly pale, a chill running down his spine, but he forced himself to say, "A-Shuang, let's go!"

"Who will suffer a terrible death is still uncertain!"
