After sharing a body with her husband

Shang Lingjun sighed softly, and then said:

"I saw through her scheme and ruined the tea banquet at his Earl's mansion. That's when the feud started. That's why she felt even more resentful when she saw my husband recover and wake up."

I remember during the tea banquet, she deliberately bumped into me with the princess's tea tray. She was already planning to use the princess against me then. The nanny mentioned it back home, so the princess should remember it too.

Upon hearing Shang Lingjun's words, Granny Lanzhi suddenly understood; so that's how it is.

Granny Lanzhi's face was extremely unpleasant. That Sixth Miss Song was truly audacious, daring to repeatedly take advantage of the Princess.

She absolutely had to tell the princess about this!

Granny Lanzhi glanced at the delicate little dish on the small tea table, filled with walnut kernels, and a strange emotion flickered in her eyes.

It seems that Master Xie really likes this Shang lady. How many men in the world would put aside their pride to feed a woman walnuts?

There must be genuine sincerity involved.

"So that's what happened. Our princess didn't believe her instigation, so she sent me here to ask. Madam, you've been talking for so long, please don't tire yourself out. As a pregnant woman, you should take good care of yourself."

Granny Lanzhi's expression softened considerably, and she already understood what was going on in her eyes.

She was an elderly nanny with a sharp eye; this woman would show some signs of pregnancy eventually.

She noticed that Shang Niangzi had a gentle complexion, her eyes were bright and cheerful, and she had an air of tranquility about her. She guessed that it was probably true.

Shang Lingjun nodded, neither denying nor denying, only saying:

"Thank you so much, Granny, for clearing up all the misunderstandings. Everything will be fine now."

"Please ask the old lady to go back and tell the princess that what the sixth young lady of the Song family said was all baseless nonsense. No one will take a few crazy words seriously. The princess should not bother with such a petty person, lest it harm her health."

Shang Lingjun continued.

A hint of surprise flashed across Granny Lanzhi's eyes, then she nodded slightly.

"Of course, it's just nonsense. If the princess really treated her like a plaything, she wouldn't have sent this old woman to the Xie family. Don't worry, the princess won't let that person who talks nonsense and stirs up trouble get away with it. When you give birth safely, Madam, the Prince's Mansion will definitely come to congratulate you at the full moon celebration."

Shang Lingjun smiled, "Thank you, Granny."

She secretly understood that Princess Shuyue was a true darling of heaven, with top-notch looks and family background, and an unyielding spirit etched into her very bones. Her birth determined her perspective.

Even if she had some girlish feelings for Xie Yan'an, she was able to let go easily and disdain competing with other women for a man, especially since this man was someone who had no feelings for her.

Princess Shuyue and Song Yunyi, that scheming and manipulative person, are fundamentally different.

It must be said that Shang Lingjun also breathed a sigh of relief. If Princess Shuyue had been more narrow-minded or even more domineering and regarded her as a mortal enemy, it would have been a very troublesome situation.

After Granny Lanzhi left, Xie Yan'an returned from next door. He sat down next to Shang Lingjun, his voice clear and melodious.

"I heard everything. So you were there that day too."

"yes."

Shang Lingjun nodded.

"You were eavesdropping? What, you don't trust me? Did I pass your test?"

Xie Yan'an just looked at her like that, a faint smile in his eyes.

Shang Lingjun glanced at him and muttered:

"I'm completely at ease. I only stepped in to help because I saw you were so angry and I really couldn't do anything about it!"

Xie Yan was relieved. He picked up a walnut and placed it near her mouth. Shang Lingjun opened her mouth slightly and ate it in small bites.

His gaze moved down and lingered on her lower abdomen, his voice gentle yet firm.

"Ati, from now on we'll have good days. With you and the children, our family will live peacefully and without any more storms."

Xie Yan'an gently pulled Shang Lingjun into his arms, carefully protecting her waist.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, and Shang Lingjun nestled in her arms, everything so peaceful that it felt unreal.

After Murong died, Zhao Shuangyue took over the household. Zhao Shuangyue was a kind person, and Shang Lingjun had a good relationship with her.

Those who shouldn't have lived in this family are all dead. Xie Zhaoqing is dead, Xiao Jing is crippled, and Shang Lingjun not only gets her revenge but also marries a good husband.

Listening to Xie Yan'an's steady heartbeat, Shang Lingjun asked, "Is this real?"

She recalled those days when she and Xie Yan'an were one soul and two bodies, and it felt like a past life. Just a few months ago, they were still communicating with each other, but at this moment, she was curled up in his arms, like a couple in the world.

Xie Yan'an thought about it seriously for a moment.

"It could be a dream. Why don't you bite me? If it hurts, then it's not a dream."

Xie Yan'an put his finger to Shang Lingjun's lips. Shang Lingjun looked at him with a half-smile.

"You think I wouldn't dare to bite?"

She suddenly bit down, and then bit down hard.

A pig-like scream echoed through Lingfeng Courtyard.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! It's not a dream!"

"You've been deceiving me for so long..." Shang Lingjun retracted her sharp teeth.

The ginkgo trees in the courtyard were full of golden leaves, and butterflies fluttered down when the wind blew. A few sparrows chirped softly, and the conversation of a young couple inside the house could be faintly heard.

"Hey, given Princess Shuyue's personality, how do you think she'll punish Song Yunyi?"

Shang Lingjun was very curious.

"To speak ill of a member of the imperial family and a princess, to frame and sow discord—the charges could be serious or minor. At best, it could result in a slap and kneeling punishment; at worst, the Princess Consort of Rong would intervene and send a document to the Earl's mansion. Let's just wait and see..."

……

Prince Rong's Mansion.

Granny Lanzhi has returned and told Princess Shuyue the whole story.

Song Yunyi saw Granny Lanzhi whispering something to Princess Shuyue, but because they were far apart and Granny Lanzhi's voice was soft, she couldn't hear it clearly.

Song Yunyi clenched her fists, her heart pounding like a drum. It would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous.

Song Yunyi glanced furtively at the main seat out of the corner of her eye, then calmly looked away, but she could see that Princess Shuyue's face was growing colder and colder, and her gaze was sharp as a knife.

"Oh...I see."

Princess Shuyue snorted coldly.

Song Yunyi was startled, her knees almost buckling. She quickly said:

"Princess, Lord Shang Ling will definitely try his best to deny it, and might even throw dirty water on me. You mustn't believe him!"

She then looked at Granny Lanzhi.

"Granny, what did Madam Shang say?"

Princess Shuyue glanced at her coldly, not having time to listen to her excuses.

"You can't even scheme against Xie Yan'an yourself, yet you insist on dragging me, the princess, into your schemes. Once wasn't enough, you try again. Who do you take me for? Someone you can just manipulate and use to your advantage? Humph!"

"Guards, seize her hairpins and jewelry, remove her pearl ornaments, and slap her twenty times! Furthermore, this princess will also send a letter to your father, asking him what kind of upbringing the Earl of Weide's family has, so that he can properly discipline his troublemaking daughter!"
