"You don't seem surprised at all." Li Niang said, looking at Fu Bei who was staring at the two of them from a distance.

"What's unexpected?" Shen Lanyue just smiled lightly, "Is it unexpected that you would come to find me, or is it unexpected that you know my identity?"

Li Niang's eyes darkened and she laughed, "Yes, the wife of Marquis Changning is so smart, she even planned everything behind the scenes without making a sound, so naturally I can guess it."

"I just wonder if you have guessed why I came to see you this time."

Li Niang smiled, took a step forward, and stared into her eyes tentatively and dangerously.

She wanted to see Shen Lanyue's panicked expression.

Unfortunately, she was overthinking it. Shen Lanyue didn't change at all. She didn't even react to what Li Niang said. It was as if... she was watching a joke.

Of course this is Li Niang's idea.

In fact, Shen Lanyue did not have much emotional fluctuation, and naturally did not mean to look down on Li Niang.

"What does your business have to do with me?" Shen Lanyue asked her back.

Li Niang's breath was choked. "Ha." She sneered and continued, "Madam, don't forget that whether it was you who sent me to the Third Prince's residence or Concubine Shen's previous evidence, it was all provided to me by you."

"No, it's Miss Shen now."

When she talked about Shen Wanqing, her tone was full of sarcasm and ridicule.

Shen Lanyue was not at all panicked. She raised her hand and looked at her nails that had been trimmed yesterday, which made her nails look even longer and more slender.

The corners of her mouth turned upwards, the corners of her eyes slightly raised, and she said: "You stayed in the Third Prince's Mansion because the Third Prince was grateful for your kindness and kept you here."

Shen Lanyue paused for a moment, and the faint smile on her lips deepened a little: "As for whether she is Concubine Shen or Miss Shen, she is my sister, so I naturally look forward to her."

"After all, she and I share a relationship of mutual benefit and mutual loss. How can I interfere in the affairs of the backyard of the Third Prince's mansion? Don't you think so?"

Three sentences, each one was a rhetorical question, Shen Lanyue completely distanced herself from the relationship.

She never took any action from beginning to end, and everything was Li Niang's own decision.

Li Niang looked at the woman in front of her who was still radiant even though she was pregnant. Every word she said was like a knife stabbing deeply into Li Niang's heart, and her whole body began to feel cold.

She felt that Shen Lanyue seemed to see through her, and even said that she had already expected that she would go to this side.

She couldn't help but think: Yes! Every time she was in trouble, Shen Lanyue appeared like a life-saving straw, bringing her good news that would definitely benefit her.

It turned out that all these were thought out by the woman in front of her long ago. She had used her to the utmost and probably had expected that this day would come to find her.

Li Niang didn't dare to look at her again, for she was afraid that this woman would see something more in her eyes.

Shen Lanyue naturally did not miss any changes in her expression. She just deepened the smile in her eyes and looked at the wandering Li Niang.

Of course Li Niang has a way out, but she doesn't know how to do it, and she doesn't dare to do it.

Shen Lanyue saw Li Niang too clearly. How could she dare to tell Li Wenxuan that she was directing all this behind the scenes? Then what would Li Niang lose by carrying out all this?

All of it. All of her.

So Li Niang didn't dare to take this step, and naturally she couldn't threaten herself.

Shen Lanyue also understood what Li Niang wanted and her purpose this time.

She wanted to become Li Wenxuan's concubine and wanted her son to be valued.

ridiculous.

"Li Niang, I can't give you what you want. I'm not the Third Prince, and I can't make any decisions for the Third Prince's Mansion. I can't help you."

Shen Lanyue stood up. The sun was a little dazzling. She looked at Li Niang with slightly narrowed eyes, and there was an indescribable calmness in her eyes.

She glanced at Li Niang who was standing there in a daze, and was about to leave.

Li Niang grabbed Shen Lanyue's arm tightly, she still wanted to fight.

"Aren't you afraid that I will be in trouble?"

Shen Lanyue just glanced at Li Niang's tightly grasped arm and smiled. He put his hand on the back of her hand and pulled her hand away.

Li Niang didn't use much effort in the first place, so she was put down in an instant.

Shen Lanyue looked at her meaningfully, did not answer her question, and walked towards Fu Bei who had been observing this side.

Li Niang looked at her back and seemed to have lost all her strength at once.

She wanted to speak again, but she had no idea what to say. She was choking and couldn't speak.

Fan Fan watched his wife coming over and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Bei might not be very clear about who that woman was, but Fan Fan, who had been conveying news about Shen Lanyue at the time, was the most familiar one.

When seeing that crazy woman grabbing her master's hand just now, Fan Fan almost rushed forward, but was stopped by Shen Lanyue's eyes and stayed where he was.

"Madam." Fan Fan held Shen Lanyue's hand and called out in a trembling voice.

Seeing her worried look, Shen Lanyue smiled at her and said, "It's okay." Then she glanced at Fu Bei and smiled without saying anything.

In fact, Fu Bei frowned and moved his feet when Li Niang grabbed Shen Lanyue, but he remembered his master's instructions and stopped where he was.

"Let's go."

"Yes."

No one looked at Li Niang again.

-------------------------------------

Li Niang's actions made Shen Lanyue realize that Shen Wanqing had basically no way out in Li Wenxuan's backyard, so she could finally close the net.

The final blow would naturally be saved for the last moment, to let Shen Wanqing taste the feeling of being deserted by everyone.

Meng Changce stood at the door and saw Shen Lanyue's figure from a distance.

A smile flashed across his eyes, and he looked at Shen Lanyue's free steps somewhat casually.

He looked at Shen Lanyue's steps getting closer and closer, snorted with amusement, and walked over quickly to hold her hand.

"What are you thinking about? The road is not smooth."

Shen Lanyue opened her beautiful eyes and smiled at him.

Meng Changce was stunned, and was attracted by the brilliance in her eyes like a galaxy, with a little heat on the corners of his mouth.

"Tired?"

He didn't ask her, as if that didn't matter anymore.

Meng Changce thought that maybe one day, she would let down her guard and tell him everything.

What he has the most now is time with Shen Lanyue, so all these things are no longer so urgent.

"Not tired. Is it over?" Shen Lanyue understood the change in his eyes, shook her head and asked.

"Well, let's go home."

"it is good."

Fu Bei, who was standing next to them, was unusually stiff. He didn't know how to tell his master what had just happened, but seeing the atmosphere between the two of them, it seemed that there was no need to say anything.

On the other side, in Li Wenxuan's carriage, Li Niang was a little out of shape.

Li Wenxuan was already in a bad mood, and when he looked at Li Niang, who looked like Shen Wanqing, his brows furrowed even more.

"From now on, all matters in the palace will be handed over to the princess and concubine."

Li Niang stared at him with her eyes wide open, and the shock she had no time to suppress was revealed in front of Li Wenxuan.
