As expected by everyone, she became the wife of the Marquis after being married off

Shen Lanyue was trapped in a dream. This was a dream she had after her rebirth. She returned to the day when she lost her child in her previous life. Like a bystander, she witnessed her weak self drinking the bowl of Tremella soup.

No matter what she did, she couldn't change the matter and could only repeat this scene over and over again in her dreams.

In this dream, I saw clearly all the expressions of the people around me, and then I realized that I had seen this whole day so clearly.

Shen Lanyue lying on the bed was pale, with cold sweat constantly coming out of her forehead. She frowned but couldn't wake up. She was in pain but the maid beside her was unusually indifferent. She just stood in front of the bed and stared at her.

When Shen Lanyue saw the blood on the bed sheet, her heart ached, as if something was being violently knocked out of her stomach.

She looked at the pool of blood, tears falling down her cheeks. She was trapped in this dream and could never escape.

When the maid standing in front of the bed saw the pool of blood, an expression of joy that was even ferocious appeared on her face.

Shen Lanyue reached out to grab it, but missed again. The scene changed and she found herself sitting alone in a cold and lonely room, with Shen Wanqing facing her with her bulging belly.

There was a smug expression on her pitiful face, with one hand supporting her belly, but there was not a trace of the tenderness of a mother.

"You know what? You've always wanted a child, haven't you?" Shen Wanqing spoke in her uniquely tender voice, her tone rising sharply when she mentioned children. "I forgot to tell you that you already had one."

Shen Lanyue stood aside and watched. When she heard these words, she could no longer control her expression in her dream and her eyes widened.

Shen Lanyue, who had become emaciated due to illness and poison, looked at her in disbelief. She had a lot to say, but the words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter a single word.

She saw a fierce yet excited smile in Shen Wanqing's eyes when she saw her like this. She was waiting for the painful expression like she was now.

Finally, Shen Lanyue watched her leave in front of her eyes with the support of Li Wenxuan in her dream, and she once again merged with herself in the dream.

The suffocating pain spread from her heart to every corner of her body. She thought, why not just let it be, I might as well die like this!

Shen Lanyue suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Meng Changce who was holding a handkerchief beside the bed. She was not able to react for a moment.

With a hoarse voice as if she was still awake from a dream, "Husband?" Then she saw Fanfan standing aside with an anxious look in her eyes.

"I…"

Before she could finish her words, Meng Changce said, "Nightmare?"

Shen Lanyue nodded. She had just woken up from her dream and looked a little pitifully fragile. She lowered her head to reveal her beautiful slender neck, and a little sweat appeared on her already fair skin.

Meng Changce's eyes darkened, he clenched his fist and coughed, then stood up naturally.

"You can ask someone to come and take a look at your house."

"Ah?" Shen Lanyue was puzzled and did not react to what he meant.

Meng Changce sighed and then said, "Forget it."

Shen Lanyue looked at his behavior with a confused look on her face, but he had already sat down beside her bed again, using the handkerchief in his hand to affectionately wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"If you feel uncomfortable, just rest at home tomorrow. You can come back in three days."

Shen Lanyue's expression is hard to describe. What does this mean?

He wouldn't think that I was pretending to be sick on purpose, just... for Shen Wanqing?

Shen Lanyue couldn't let him have such thoughts, so she raised her still rosy face and said, "No, my husband has already arranged it, I'll do as you say."

Meng Changce saw that she looked considerate, and there was a complex look in his eyes, feeling sorry for the little good intention he had managed to muster.

However, seeing that she had already said it, Meng Changce had nothing to say and could only nod slightly.

Then he handed the handkerchief he had just wiped to Fanfan who was waiting behind him, "Give your master a good wash."

"Yes." Fanfan took the handkerchief with great trepidation, not daring to look up at him.

"Lanyue, I'll wait for you outside."

Shen Lanyue replied, "Okay." After watching Meng Changce leave the room, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked Fanfan, "How long have I slept? Did you say anything?"

"You have been sleeping for the whole afternoon. I saw that you hadn't woken up yet, so I wanted to call you. But when the Marquis came back and found out that you were still sleeping, he told me not to disturb you."

"He's been back for a long time, and has been in the room all the time?"

Shen Lanyue was shocked. She was trapped in a dream and she didn't know what she might say accidentally. If she mentioned the person she loved, wouldn't that bring trouble to herself?

Fanfan waved his hands quickly, "No, no, when the Marquis came back he found out you were sleeping, so he just came in to take a look at you and went back to the study." Then he said strangely, "But at sunset the Marquis saw you were still sleeping after having slept for the whole afternoon, so he came in to wake you up."

"I didn't say anything?"

"No, I just can't wake him up."

After getting the answer, Shen Lanyue felt a little cold and damp, so she asked Fanfan to help her wash up.

Sure enough, he slept so well that it was already dusk. After Shen Lanyue had tidied herself up, she came and sat next to him.

This meal was not as good as the one in the afternoon. There were obviously fewer servants serving than at noon. In addition, Shen Lanyue overslept, so her appetite was average.

During the meal, he just drank a few sips of soup and stopped eating. He just served Meng Changce obediently and considerately.

The meal was quickly finished, and after sending the two back to their room, the maids left clearly.

"Husband." Shen Lanyue was finally alone with him in the true sense. Last night they had just gone through the motions, and now they were finally together face to face.

Meng Changce stared at the person in front of him with great interest. Seeing that she was in the same room with him, he could not hide the panic in his eyes well.

As the saying goes, beauty is best seen under the lamp. She sat just a few inches away from the lamp, with the candlelight casting a shadow on her face, making the teardrop mole under her eye even more charming.

"That book on the shelf over there, please fetch it for me, ma'am."

Shen Lanyue was still thinking about how to start the conversation when she heard his gentle voice. She followed his gaze towards the bookshelf in the corner, walked over, took the book and handed it to him.

When she handed the book to him, it inevitably touched his palm. Shen Lanyue's heart skipped a beat. When it touched her, she felt an electric sensation passing from his fingers to hers.

Shen Lanyue wanted to withdraw her hand, but was suddenly pulled tight. With just a little effort, Shen Lanyue was already leaning in his arms, and the book fell to the ground with his movement.

Meng Changce's slightly gloomy gaze drifted to her fair and slender neck. That inch of skin was whiter than any mutton-fat jade he had ever seen.

He lowered his head and moved closer to her spot. Shen Lanyue felt his breath on her neck. She thought he was about to kiss that spot, but she heard him laughing in her neck.

"..." Shen Lanyue was speechless after hearing his smile.

Meng Changce rose from her neck, joy visible between his brows and a look of playful success in his eyes.

Shen Lanyue's eyes were moving, and she had shown some affection just now. Now her eyes were slightly red, and she looked at him reproachfully without saying a word.

"The night is still long. Madam has slept a lot today. Let's go later."
