"what?"

Sheng Yunrou widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.

Sheng Nanzhi was not afraid that she would see through him. After all, in her previous life, when Sheng Yunrou married into the Sixth Prince's Mansion, Shi Huaizhi was already in a coma.

Sheng Yunrou had never had any relationship with Shi Huaizhi.

She was the only one among them who had had a relationship with Shi Huaizhi.

As for what the truth of the matter is, it is naturally up to her to decide.

Sheng Yunrou's expression changed again and again, and then she left in a hurry without caring about anything else.

Sheng Nanzhi looked at her hurried appearance and curled up the corners of her mouth.

Sheng Yunrou is not someone who can stand loneliness. She was not like that in her previous life, and certainly not in this life.

The marriage exchange failed, but she learned that Shi Huaizhi was not able to do it. She wanted to see what Sheng Yunrou was going to do next.

Sheng Nanzhi finally felt a little better. He stood in the yard for a while before walking into the house. However, this good mood did not last long. As soon as he reached the door of the inner room, Sheng Nanzhi's face changed.

There is someone in the house.

As luck would have it, it was Shi Huaizhi who she had just told her off.

Sheng Nanzhi hurriedly bowed and said, "Your humble servant greets the Sixth Prince."

But I felt a little panic in my heart.

"When did the Sixth Prince arrive?"

He heard a lot of what she had said to Sheng Yunrou in the yard before.

Shi Huaizhi raised his eyelids, his eyes cold and indifferent: "I just got here, but I happened to hear you telling Sheng Yunrou that I can't do it."

It’s over.

What men hate most is others saying that he is not good enough.

Although Shi Huaizhi will soon get into trouble and fall into a coma, he is still the Sixth Prince who is loved by everyone.

Given his status and position, killing her now would be easier than crushing an ant.

Although her rebirth was not what she wanted, she has things she wants to do and people she wants to protect after being reborn.

She can't die now.

Sheng Nanzhi lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I just lied because I wanted to avoid marrying into the Sixth Prince's mansion. I had no choice but to do so."

Shi Huaizhi's eyes grew colder, and he unsheathed the sword at his waist, placing it on Sheng Nanzhi's neck. "You've had physical contact with me, yet you're unwilling to marry me. To avoid marrying into the Sixth Prince's residence, you even spread rumors about me being incompetent? Sheng Nanzhi, are you afraid that I won't kill you?"

Sheng Nanzhi turned her head and glanced at the sword that was shining with cold light, but she was thinking in her heart that the storybook said that if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first arouse his interest.

Did she arouse Shi Huaizhi's interest?

If not, she might as well increase the bet.

Sheng Nanzhi's face showed fear, but her voice remained calm: "Your Highness, I am unwilling to marry into the Sixth Prince's mansion, not because I don't like you."

"It's just that I don't want to be a widow."

The sword across her neck moved closer, and she could even feel the blade cutting through the skin on her neck.

"Widowed?" Shi Huaizhi narrowed his eyes and looked at Sheng Nanzhi: "Do you think I'm dying?"

"Yes." Sheng Nanzhi's voice became more urgent: "Your Highness, please listen to what I have to say."

"Everyone in the world knows that my sister is the Phoenix Lord of Heaven. Whoever gets her will get the world."

"Because of this prophecy, all the ladies in the palace want their princes to marry the second sister."

"Your Majesty has joked many times before, saying that it would be a great blessing for any prince to marry the Second Sister. But everyone seems to have forgotten that Your Majesty is only forty years old and in the prime of life. Sixth Prince, do you think Your Majesty would tolerate one of his princes coveting the throne at this time?"

"It's not that you, the Sixth Prince, will die. Rather, whoever marries my second sister will die."

Sheng Nanzhi raised her eyes and looked at Shi Huaizhi: "This humble servant is a calamity star. If I enter His Highness's residence and something happens to His Highness, will this humble servant be blamed for this calamity star?"

"So, even if I lost my virginity to Your Highness, I would not marry you and would not get involved in the royal family's struggle."

Sheng Nanzhi lowered her head. "I spoke to Second Sister that way before, only because Second Sister has always disliked me. I was afraid that what happened today would cause Second Sister to misunderstand and think that I was trying to steal His Highness from her."

"I have offended Your Highness, please forgive me."

"Once this matter is completed and my second sister marries Your Highness, Your Highness can clarify it with concrete actions on the wedding night."

Shi Huaizhi's gaze fell steadily on Sheng Nanzhi, with a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

This woman is quite interesting.

"Then according to you, I shouldn't marry Sheng Yunrou?"

"But many people already know about my mother's marriage proposal to the Sheng family. If Sheng Yunrou is a pawn used by Father to test us, then Father must have already become suspicious of me. So, what should I do to dispel Father's doubts?"

Sheng Nanzhi naturally did not miss the flash of interest in Shi Huaizhi's eyes.

She lowered her head, her thoughts turning over and over: "What happened between Your Highness and me today was obviously planned by someone."

"Since the mastermind behind this has not yet been identified, there are many possibilities."

Sheng Nanzhi smiled and said, "Whether it's the Phoenix Lord of Heaven or the Star of Disaster, it's just a prophecy."

"I don't think Your Highness needs to rely on a woman or a false prophecy."

She spoke cryptically, but Shi Huaizhi was such a smart man that he naturally understood the meaning behind her words.

Shi Huaizhi narrowed his eyes, his gaze cold and stern: "You still say that this matter is not your calculation?"

"Aren't you trying to say that I don't need to rely on the fate of the Phoenix Lord of Heaven? Marrying Sheng Yunrou will only make my father and the other princes wary of me, so I should take this opportunity to go along with the situation and ask my father to marry you?"

Shi Huaizhi leaned towards her and stopped just three inches away from her eyes.

"You keep saying you'd rather become a nun than marry me, but that's just your trick."

"You think that even if you rely on what happened today to get married, you will at most be a concubine, which will cause dissatisfaction with me, my mother, and the other people in the Sheng family. When Sheng Yunrou becomes the Sixth Prince's consort, your life will definitely not be easy."

"So you deliberately lured me here and told me all this just to get me to ask you to be my wife."

"Sheng Nanzhi, you are really ambitious."

Sheng Nanzhi still looked weak and frail: "I am innocent."

"What happened today was definitely not my fault. Your Highness is free to investigate. If it was my fault, I will voluntarily accept death."

"I grew up in the countryside and don't understand the intricacies of government. I simply feel that since things have come to this, it's better to take advantage of the situation."

Shi Huaizhi stared at her face for a long time before he retracted the sword from across her neck.

"What a good trick! I advise you not to play any tricks."

After Shi Huaizhi finished speaking, he left her room.

Sheng Nanzhi narrowed his eyes, slowly stood up, and his body shook uncontrollably.

She frowned and slowly walked to the side and sat down.

Tsk, man.

He doesn't know how to be gentle with women at all.

Today, she was with Shi Huaizhi, and it was her first time.

His waist and legs were already sore, and he was called away to be questioned. When he came back, Shi Huaizhi tormented him even more.

Sheng Nanzhi raised her hand and brushed her neck, with blood on her fingertips.

Shi Huaizhi probably really wanted to kill her just now.

Sheng Nanzhi licked the blood on his fingertips, and a fishy smell spread.

Her eyes were dark, and she didn't know whether Shi Huaizhi would ask her to marry him.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't ask to marry her. She can find ways to make Shi Huaizhi's accident happen earlier.

Anyway, she is destined to be the Sixth Prince's consort.

She is determined to remain a widow.
