Mu Chenye was startled by this sudden hug, then a smile appeared in his eyes and he gently hugged her back with his arms.

"You too."

Only then did Shen Tangan let go of his hand and ran away without looking back.

She didn't know what she was thinking to do such a disgusting thing.

But seeing him standing there with a lonely look on his face, I couldn't help but feel impulsive.

Mu Chenye smiled and watched her departing back until she disappeared, then he turned and left.

After returning to the palace and lying on the bed, my mind was filled with Shen Tangan's every move and smile.

Shen Tangan was also having trouble falling asleep in his room. Thinking about everything that happened tonight, he felt that everything was unreal.

I don't know how long it took before I fell asleep, but I was woken up early in the morning.

"What happened?"

Shen Tangan frowned, stood up and asked with his eyes closed.

"Miss Tai, it seems that the second young lady is not feeling well, and she insists that you go and see her."

Yunzhu heard the noise and hurried over to help her up.

The second young lady was really too bullying and sent her maid to make trouble early in the morning. She had a lot of trouble to suppress her, but she didn't expect that she still disturbed the young lady.

Although she was canonized as the prince's concubine and had a noble status, her own daughter was the future Princess Consort of Chen. If she was unwell, she had her own doctor. She could just ask the prince for the imperial physician. Why bother her own daughter?

When Shen Tangan heard this, his brows furrowed even more.

"If she's not feeling well, she can go to the court doctor. Why is she looking for me?"

Yunzhu looked indignant, "Miss, this Second Miss is clearly deliberately making things difficult for you."

Suddenly he realized that Shen Qingwan was pregnant before she got married, and this kind of scandal naturally could not be known to others.

Although I don't know if she is really unwell, after all, she is pregnant with the royal heir, so I'd better go and see her just in case.

"Never mind, let's go and have a look."

When we arrived at Lihua Garden, we saw Shen Qingwan lying weakly on the bed, looking sick.

"Sister, you are finally here."

Shen Qingwan has always been weak, and now her pale face makes her even more pitiful.

Shen Tangan looked cold and deliberately kept a distance from her.

Although this is her bargaining chip for marrying into the royal family, there is no guarantee that she will not frame her in a cruel way.

Even if she just had a stomachache, it would be enough for her to drink a pot of wine.

"What's wrong with my sister?"

"Sister is so far away, are you worried about something?"

Shen Qingwan had a smile on her face, but looked at her with a look full of sarcasm.

Shen Tangan sneered in his heart, but his expression remained calm, "Sister, you are too kind. If you don't want me to be here, you can go and ask the palace doctor."

"No!"

Shen Qingwan suddenly became anxious. How could she let others know about this?

He looked up and glared at her, gritting his teeth.

"Are you trying to embarrass me on purpose?"

"Sister, you don't have that much ability, so just control your temper. If you want me to treat you, then you should act like a beggar. I can't serve you if you act so domineeringly."

Shen Tangan looked indifferent, since she was not the one who was anxious anyway.

Looking at her like this, although her face is a little pale, it’s nothing serious. Could it be that they are really here to torment her?

"Sister, I am carrying the heir to the throne. If anything goes wrong, the entire Yong'an Marquisate will not be able to bear the consequences!"

Shen Qingwan was so angry that her chest heaved, and her eyes stared at her hatefully.

Why did she suddenly become the Princess of Chen, while she was just a concubine and even had to enter the palace to be humiliated by the Queen?

She was clearly pregnant with the royal heir, so everyone should have respected and admired her. But why was the situation so different from what she had expected?

Shen Tangan sneered, "So what if she's the Crown Prince's concubine? You haven't even gotten married yet, but you're so confident. Aren't you afraid that you'll end up like me someday? But I wonder if you'll be as lucky as I am, losing the Crown Princess position and becoming the Princess of Chen."

These words directly touched Shen Qingwan's heart, full of irony.

After all, she was the one who wanted to snatch the position of the Crown Princess. She was obsessed with becoming the Crown Princess, but not only did she end up becoming a concubine, she might even lose her position as a concubine one day.

"you……"

Shen Qingwan pointed at her and her whole body was shaking. She almost suffocated because she couldn't breathe.

"Sister, please be careful. What if your only bargaining chip is gone?"

Shen Tangan stepped forward and held her to prevent her from falling off the bed.

After all, her belly is indeed precious now. If something happens, it will be difficult to explain to anyone inside or outside the palace.

wrong!

Shen Tangan suddenly realized that she was also pregnant with Mu Chenye's baby!

I forgot to mention such a good opportunity yesterday.

Shen Qingwan stared at her in silence for a moment, and knew what was important. She turned around and leaned towards the couch, and her voice softened, not as tense as before.

"Sister, I am really not feeling well. Please help me. I am begging you."

She must keep the child; the baby in her belly is her only support.

Seeing her begging for mercy honestly, Shen Tangan's expression eased a little and he said, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."

He walked forward, took Shen Qingwan's pulse, and had a rough idea in his mind.

It's nothing serious. Maybe it's because I've been busy recently and I'm physically and mentally exhausted, which caused me to feel uncomfortable.

"The pregnancy is relatively stable, but you are too worried and anxious, which is why you feel uncomfortable."

Shen Tangan let go of his hand and said lightly.

Shen Qingwan hurriedly asked: "Sister, what should I do?"

Shen Tangan glanced at her and said, "Relax, take good care of yourself, and don't let your imagination run wild. Also, don't make such a big fuss about this matter. If it gets out, it will be bad for both you and me."

"Thank you, sister. I'll keep it in mind."

I lowered my head and responded to her. It was indeed as she said. Taking good care of my body and the baby in my belly was the most important thing.

If the news of her pregnancy before marriage were to spread, not only would the reputation of the Marquis's family be ruined, but I'm afraid the royal family would not recognize her either.

Seeing that she had listened, Shen Tangan stood up and prepared to leave, "Since it's nothing serious, I'll leave."

A complicated look flashed across Shen Qingwan's eyes, "Sister, why don't you sit for a while?"

"No need, you just need to rest well."

Hearing this, he looked back at her and didn't intend to stay long.

"elder sister……"

"My lady, I have something important to report."

Shen Qingwan wanted to say something but was interrupted by Yunzhu.

Shen Tangan led her out the door without looking back, "What's the matter?"

"Miss, the Queen Mother invites you to the palace."

Her eyes darkened when she heard that. Mu Chenye asked her to stay away from the Queen Mother, but who would have thought that he would invite her into the palace just a few days later. What could be going on?

"He looked very anxious. It was the nanny beside the Queen Mother who came here in person."

Yunzhu looked anxious and looked at her worriedly.

"The Second Miss didn't give you any trouble, did she?"

Shen Tangan shook his head. "Now that she needs my help, I dare not be too presumptuous."

Yunzhu was indignant, "Miss, why do you bother with her? The second young lady is arrogant and domineering on weekdays. Now that something like this has happened, she is still bothering you."

Shen Tangan sighed, "No matter what, she will be in the Marquis' Mansion for life. If anything goes wrong, the Marquis' Mansion will not be free from responsibility."
