The next morning, when Sheng Nanzhi opened her eyes, she was met with a pair of enlarged, resentful eyes.

She was stunned for a moment, stepped back a little, and looked a little confused: "Is the matter settled?"

"Yeah." Shi Huaizhi responded, but still stared at her straight.

Sheng Nanzhi became increasingly bewildered: "Why are you looking at me? What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

"No." Shi Huaizhi pursed his lips and was silent for a moment, but he couldn't help asking: "Did you sleep well last night?"

Sheng Nanzhi was puzzled. When had Shi Huaizhi ever cared about whether she slept well at night?

Why do you ask so suddenly?

Did she have a nightmare last night?

Or are you talking in your sleep?

She tried to recall it carefully, but had no recollection of it at all.

“Alright… alright?”

She paused, a vague impression forming in her mind: "It's just... I don't know if it's because this attic faces the lake and it's early summer, but there seem to be mosquitoes in this attic."

"Last night when I was sleeping, I kept hearing mosquitoes buzzing in my ears. It was very noisy."

"I don't know if it's real or a dream, but I always feel like I can understand what the mosquito is saying."

"It must have been a dream. I can't remember what the mosquito said at all."

"I just remember vaguely slapping the mosquito. It finally stopped making noises, and I finally fell asleep peacefully."

Mosquito?

Shi Huaizhi's face suddenly turned dark.

Because he hadn't put on the human skin mask yet, the blackness was extremely obvious.

He stood up without saying a word and put on his shoes and clothes in silence.

Sheng Nanzhi's eyes suddenly fell on his face. She was more accustomed to Shi Huaizhi's original face.

This face is so beautiful.

Sheng Nanzhi was just thinking about it when she saw Shi Huaizhi turn around and pick up the human skin mask placed aside.

Sheng Nanzhi secretly thought it was a pity that he had to use the human skin mask to cover up this handsome face again.

As she thought about it, her eyes suddenly fell on the other half of Shi Huaizhi's face: "Why is your face red?"

"The corner of my mouth seems to be a little broken."

"Did you get injured last night when you were out on errands?"

Not right either.

If she was injured, she couldn't imagine what kind of situation would cause the injury in such a strange place.

This position is more like...

Sheng Nanzhi's eyes suddenly dimmed, more like it was due to his intimacy with the woman.

Although she had never had such a wound, she had seen it several times on Wen Tingyun's concubines in her previous life.

Shi Huaizhi's face turned darker. He just lowered his head and tied the laces of his clothes without saying a word.

Little did she know that his silence, in Sheng Nanzhi's eyes, only confirmed her guess.

She was his legally married wife.

If he really had someone outside, he would definitely not tell her.

If you tell her, it's time to take a concubine.

But as a comatose living dead, it was naturally impossible for Shi Huaizhi to take a concubine...

Sheng Nanzhi lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in them.

Sure enough, all men are the same.

Only when you die will you be honest.

Wen Tingyun was like that, and so was Shi Huaizhi.

Sheng Nanzhi lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, but she unexpectedly found that she seemed to feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.

In her previous life, when she knew that Wen Tingyun had someone else, she seemed to have never had such a feeling.

Sheng Nanzhi pursed her lips. This was not a good sign.

When she was just reborn and knew that she had slept with Shi Huaizhi, she just thought that since she was going to get married, Shi Huaizhi would be a good choice.

Shi Huaizhi would soon fall into a coma, and she would be a widow forever.

Having power and money and no parents-in-law in the house should be the best outcome.

But Shi Huaizhi was not really unconscious.

She even became pregnant with Shi Huaizhi's child.

Everything seemed to have completely deviated from her original plan.

If this continues, Shi Huaizhi will pretend to be unconscious on the surface, but actually control everything secretly, and then seize the position of crown prince, or even the throne of emperor.

By that time, Shi Huaizhi would certainly take concubines and imperial concubines.

Then wouldn't her fate be the same as in her previous life?

This is not what she wants.

Sheng Nanzhi pursed her lips, so she could never fall in love with Shi Huaizhi.

And I must never pay too much for Shi Huaizhi.

Not only should she not pay for Shi Huaizhi, she should also take advantage of Shi Huaizhi's power to take revenge and settle all the accounts that should be settled.

After everything is over, she should withdraw immediately.

Leave the imperial city and live the life you want.

Yes, that's how it should be.

Sheng Nanzhi's eyes gradually became resolute. It turned out to be the right decision when she asked Xue Yi to find a way to find those capable assistants from her previous life...

Sheng Nanzhi was thinking when she felt a cold gaze falling on her.

Sheng Nanzhi raised her head and met that gaze.

Sheng Nanzhi narrowed her eyes, it was really strange.

It was clearly him who went out and messed around last night and did something wrong to her, but he still dared to glare at her.

Shi Huaizhi suddenly spoke up: "I wasn't injured last night when I was out doing something."

"Hmm?" Sheng Nanzhi took a moment to react before realizing that Shi Huaizhi was answering her question.

"You hit me on the face last night."

"Huh?" Sheng Nanzhi's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief: "What?"

She raised her hand and pointed at herself: "I hit you?"

"how is this possible?"

Sheng Nanzhi frowned: "Even though you are a prince, you can't speak nonsense and slander me, right?"

She sneered: "When did I hit you? How could I not know?"

Shi Huaizhi glanced at her indifferently: "I am that mosquito."

What? What do you mean he is the mosquito?

Is this guy crazy? Instead of being a good person, he insists on calling himself a mosquito.

She was thinking, but suddenly froze.

and many more.

What did she say before?

She said that there was a mosquito buzzing in her ear last night, and she seemed to be dreaming that the mosquito was talking. She said that she slapped the mosquito, and the mosquito finally stopped buzzing.

"..."

So, the person who kept talking in her ear while she was asleep last night was Shi Huaizhi?

She treated Shi Huaizhi as a mosquito, disliked Shi Huaizhi for being too noisy, and slapped him.

The red marks on his face and the wound at the corner of his mouth were all caused by her slap?

Everything seemed to... fit right.

Sheng Nanzhi felt inexplicably guilty. She had just thought that Shi Huaizhi was out having an affair with another woman.

Sheng Nanzhi turned away, coughed lightly, and looked a little unnatural: "Ah, it was you who was talking last night?"

She tried to put the blame on Shi Huaizhi without any justification: "I was already asleep, why were you still talking to me?"

"What did you say?"

Mentioning what he said last night that earned him the slap, Shi Huaizhi's expression became even uglier: "Nothing."

He had already put on the human skin mask, walked around the screen and left, leaving Sheng Nanzhi with a confused look on her face.

Is Shi Huaizhi... angry?
