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

The next day, the dead tree hut.

Shen Lanyue got out of the carriage and looked up. The wisteria flowers that she could see the last time she came here had completely withered. It was obvious that the previous owner who had taken good care of the place was no longer living there, otherwise he would not have allowed such a scene.

Shen Lanyue gave Fanfan a look.

He nodded Fanfan, looked around, walked to the door and knocked a few times.

After knocking twice, I heard hurried footsteps and the door was opened.

The maid who opened the door also had a cautious expression. When she saw Fanfan, she was slightly surprised at first, then she leaned forward to glance at Shen Lanyue behind her and opened the door.

It was also Fanfan's first time here, but when she looked at the person in front of her, she probably guessed that this was the person the lady wanted to see.

He also turned sideways to take a look inside, then turned back and nodded to Shen Lanyue.

Shen Lanyue also saw what was happening on Fanfan's side. Seeing that the maid who opened the door was still lowering her eyebrows, she smiled.

When the maid who opened the door saw Shen Lanyue, her eyes flashed slightly, but soon she lowered her head and welcomed Shen Lanyue and the others in.

"please."

As soon as Shen Lanyue and others entered, the maid immediately closed the door.

As if afraid of being discovered by someone.

Shen Lanyue entered the house. It was not as desolate inside as outside. It was obvious that it had been cleaned well and was tidy.

When Li Niang, who was sitting inside, saw Shen Lanyue, she immediately stood up and a flattering smile appeared on her face.

"You're here." She walked forward and said with a smile.

Shen Lanyue gave her a distant and rude smile.

Li Niang was also stunned by Shen Lanyue's performance, but she quickly changed her mind. The anger in her eyes disappeared for a moment, and she said enthusiastically: "Li Niang has not thanked you properly yet. Recently, the government has not been so strict with me, so I thought I must thank you properly."

The smile on Shen Lanyue's face never faded, and she kept a distance from Li Niang.

She didn't have much intention to refute her flattering words, and casually sat on the stool she had cleaned and looked at her. Shen Lanyue probably knew what Li Niang meant by this look, and it was absolutely impossible to say that she really wanted to thank him.

Li Niang is also an absolute egoist. Before, when Shen Lanyue asked her to help him on the day of Sun Shuhao's wedding, she wanted to draw a clear line between them.

If she hadn't discovered how great an influence Shen Wanqing had on her, she would never have thought of her again.

Now, there must be something that she doesn’t know how to solve, and she wants to ask for help from me.

Sure enough, before Li Niang could finish a few words, she started to cry. She looked pretty good to begin with, but tears started to fall before she could even finish her words.

If a man saw this, he would definitely feel pity for her.

Unfortunately, she met Shen Lanyue, who knew her character well.

Shen Lanyue frowned slightly, a hint of curiosity appeared on her face as she consoled him, "What's wrong?"

Li Niang sobbed a few times, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said hoarsely: "Sister, you don't know, I haven't had a good life since I entered the Third Prince's Mansion."

Shen Lanyue looked at her with complicated eyes.

After Li Niang entered Li Wenxuan's backyard, her life became a thousand times better than before. She was very much like Shen Wanqing, but lower than Shen Wanqing. Li Wenxuan loved to go to her yard the most.

After she became pregnant, Li Wenxuan was even more willing to give her a share of every good thing, and no one in the mansion refused to give her face.

After Sun Shuhao entered the mansion, although she was no longer the one who had the final say in Li Wenxuan's backyard, no servant dared to look down on her because she gave birth to the eldest son of a concubine.

Li Niang didn't understand Shen Lanyue's eyes and continued talking to herself.

"Originally, the Third Prince had some sympathy for me, but there are just too many women in the backyard." Li Niang lowered her head and said with a sad look on her face, "Later, I finally got pregnant, but then the Third Imperial Concubine came, and I became even more of a thorn in the backyard's side."

"I gave birth to a child, thinking that I could be promoted and at least give my child a good background, but His Highness rarely came."

When Li Niang said this, Shen Lanyue could see that she was speaking from the bottom of her heart, and there was an indescribable loneliness and unwillingness in her eyes.

"Maybe when the little master grows up a little, your wish will come true." Shen Lanyue said lightly.

Li Niang was stunned for a moment, then met Shen Lanyue's calm gaze and smiled bitterly: "If that's the case, I'll accept it."

"But..." Li Niang's eyes were filled with tears again, and she choked up and said, "But sister, His Highness is going to give my child to Concubine Shen to raise!"

"Isn't this going to kill me?"

When Li Niang said this, tears fell as she spoke. At the same time, she patted her chest and cried, "I cried and begged the Third Prince, but...but he said that this would give the child a better status, and that if I gave it to Concubine Shen, I could go to see her later."

"But that was the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to. She can take it away if she wants. I really have no other choice." Li Niang suddenly knelt down, looked up at Shen Lanyue and begged: "My dear, please help me! Please."

"Please, I know you can find a way!"

"If you help me this time, I will obey you in everything from now on."

At this moment, all of Li Niang's disguise since she entered the room was broken. She knelt on the ground, trembling, covering her face with her hands and crying.

Shen Lanyue maintained a calm expression from beginning to end, and only when she said that Shen Wanqing would raise Li Niang's child did her eyebrows slightly raise. She wanted to laugh at Shen Wanqing's excellent move, and also wanted to laugh at Li Niang for being confused by the situation.

Shen Lanyue lowered her eyes, sighed deliberately, reached out and held her hand, lifted her up with a little force, and made her sit on the stool beside her.

He handed her a handkerchief and said slowly, "Do you think Concubine Shen really wants to raise this child, or does she want to deal with you?"

Li Niang was completely stunned and her heartbeat slowed down.

"You have to think about it. Concubine Shen doesn't have her own children yet. How could she really want to raise a child who looks like a girl like her?"

Shen Lanyue's tone was calm, as if she was really asking for her opinion, but every word she said fell on Li Niang's surging heart.

"Since you learned the news, you have been crying and begging in front of the Third Prince, resisting, and refusing to let anyone get close to your child. You even said that you cry every time you see the Third Prince."

"One more thing..." Shen Lanyue raised her eyelids slightly, looked at her with sharp eyes and said, "You went to the Third Imperial Concubine for help, right?"

"me……"

Li Niang froze in place, feeling cold all over.
