Two rivals in love, I guess. Now they are sitting outdoors, looking at the stars in the sky, having a soul-to-soul conversation.

Zhou Hanruo said slowly: "I know it's you. When you were in my garden and the princess leaned in your arms, I knew it was you."

"It's me, it's mine. What's me? You should just be more straightforward."

Liang Wanshu knew what he was talking about, but he still wanted to hear him say it in person to find out what he knew.

Zhou Hanruo ignored him and continued to walk at his own pace.

“Thinking back to when I was in Cuiliu Tower in Chang’an, the moment I saw Princess Yuanshuang, I was mesmerized by her noble temperament and beautiful appearance.

When I got back, I pestered my father to propose marriage to me.

My father was reluctant at first, thinking that I was not worthy of the princess.

But with my persistence, what can he do when facing his son?

What happened next went so smoothly. What was unexpected was that Princess Minyang agreed immediately.

I also heard that the princess agreed because I was far away in Dian City."

As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Liang Wanshu.

She continued, "Now I understand why the princess wanted to marry the princess off to a distant place."

He gave Liang Wanshu a cold look.

Gnashing his teeth, he said, "It's all because of you! It turns out that Princess Minyang wanted to keep Princess Yuanshuang away from you, so she agreed to marry her to me.

From then on, my nightmare began."

Liang Wanshu retorted: "You are wrong. This should be the beginning of Princess Yuanshuang's nightmare."

Zhou Hanruo ignored him and continued his thoughts: "Since I married her, all I've seen is her cold face. At first I thought she was unhappy because she was far away from home and her family.

She didn't consummate the marriage with me in Chang'an, and I can understand that.

But after returning to Diancheng, she still refused to consummate her marriage with me. If I forced her to do so, she would threaten to commit suicide.

To put it bluntly, she can be my wife, but I can't touch her.

So…” He looked at Liang Wanshu with a wry smile.

He continued, “Let me tell you this, she and I haven’t consummated our marriage yet.

But she got pregnant.”

Having said this, he lowered his head and covered his face, his shoulders shaking, unable to control himself.

When Liang Wanshu heard this, his head buzzed and he was stunned.

She didn't consummate the marriage with him, but she got pregnant?

He suddenly grabbed Zhou Hanruo by the collar and asked sternly, "You didn't consummate your marriage with her?"

Zhou Hanruo nodded while crying: "No, never. She always carries a pair of sharp scissors with her, and I'm afraid she will hurt herself.

Our whole family didn’t know about this, and I didn’t have the face to tell them.

She became pregnant, and my mother and my father were so happy that they held a banquet for three days.

But when no one is around, I hide in the dark and feel sad alone.

Instead, the princess changed her usual sad face and began to smile, and was in a very good mood the whole day.

My mother was very happy. But I was hit in the face again."

At this point, he stood up abruptly, grabbed Liang Wanshu by the collar, and cursed loudly: "The result is you, a piece of shit.

You did such a shameless thing.

You have harmed me and Princess Yuanshuang, but aren't you also harming yourself?"

Liang Wanshu let him grab him and shake him. He was no longer able to think.

That was his blood, his... Now he was the one crying.

Liang Wanshu was crying in his heart, thinking about the person who was now in the tent.

No wonder she would smile even with tears in her eyes when she talked about the fetus growing in her belly.

Now Liang Wanshu is no longer just concerned about Princess Yuanshuang.

There is also someone he has never met, his little man.

How can this be good?

Zhou Hanruo beside him started talking again: "The one who is by my side, I can't get, and the one who is far away from you, has conceived a baby for you. I will raise your baby from now on.

I won't tell anyone, that's not my baby, my father and mother are happy now, I don't want to ruin their minds." He beat his chest in grief and kept vomiting.

"Don't be silly. Are your parents happy about this baby? Don't they know that it's not their grandson?

Who are you trying to fool? If they knew she was pregnant with the Zhou family's child, would they abandon the princess to the Zhou family's side garden?"

As he spoke, Liang Wanshu grabbed Zhou Hanruo's collar again. The collars of both of them were probably about to be torn.

He said: "You must have known that the princess's child is not named Zhou.

So, you deliberately left her in the side yard to kill her, right? "

"Yes and no." Zhou Hanruo looked disheartened: "On the day she got sick, I asked her to tell me who the father of her child was.

She was in a daze with a high fever that day, and I just thought that maybe I could tell her something while she was still conscious.

But, she did say something, but what did she say? Listen to it...

This is the first time I have heard her talk so much since we got married.

Such an elegant lady, at this moment, looked like a heroine.

She said she would remain a virgin for him, that she would never consummate the marriage with me and that she would not let the child call me daddy.

What’s even more terrifying is that she said that if she recovered, she would explain to my parents the origin of this child.

If her illness is not cured and she dies, let this secret be known only to her and me.

She also said that she would divorce me after giving birth to the child.

She would not return to Chang'an City, but would find a place to live in Diancheng and raise her children.

At that time, I was also confused and filled with anger, so I moved her to a side garden, just to let her fend for herself.

I lied to my father and mother, saying that the doctor said she should be isolated.

And he said, I have already given the medicine to the princess to drink, but the reason it didn't work is because she is pregnant.

So, all of this was done by me, and has nothing to do with my parents."

At the end, he roared again: "You are the one who caused all this. You have a family and a wife, why do you want to provoke the princess?"

Liang Wanshu left Zhou Hanruo who was still roaring alone, and walked towards his tent with soft and weak steps.

Zhou Hanruo's words struck deep into his heart and pained his soul.

He looked up at the sky. The sky was boundless and the stars were twinkling. There was no answer he wanted there, and the mystery was left to him alone.

He could not unravel the mystery, nor understand the code God left for him.

He staggered back to the tent. Although he never drank, he grabbed a bottle of wine that the chiefs had placed there and poured it into his mouth.

In a daze, he counted the bottles thrown on the ground: "One, two, three... five, six... I, I drank six bottles. I didn't expect that I, Liang Wanshu, am an expert in drinking. Woo woo..."

He was sad and drunk and fell asleep.

When he opened his eyes again, Zi Sangyu was sitting in front of his bed and said to him, "Tell me, what happened?"
