Sheng Nanzhi looked bewildered: "I don't want to enter the palace, and I don't want to be my second sister's substitute."

"But if Second Sister doesn't show any noticeable changes before the palace banquet, Daddy will probably take action."

Sheng Nanzhi murmured, "Sometimes I really want to pretend to be sick or dead, and find a way to disappear suddenly."

"But if that's the case, I'm afraid he'll set his sights on my third sister, or someone else."

Sheng Nanzhi pursed her lips and said, "It would be fine if I just let them enter the palace in Sheng Yunrou's place. What I'm more afraid of is that if the matter is exposed, the whole family will be in trouble."

"So the best thing to do in this matter is to make Sheng Yunrou become well-behaved and obedient, and enter the palace on her own."

“But it’s so hard.”

Sheng Nanzhi murmured, lying on the edge of the bed: "Fortunately, I am married to you now. At least in this Sixth Prince's Mansion, I can relax a little. I don't have to worry about being ambushed at any time, being drugged for no reason, and waking up to find myself in someone else's bed."

She lay there for a while before standing up again: "I still have to go find Jin Xin."

"I will be attending a palace banquet in two days, but I don't know the palace rules. If I offend someone, that would be bad."

After Sheng Nanzhi finished speaking, she walked out the door and headed towards the courtyard where Jin Xin lived.

As the Crown Princess in her previous life, she was naturally well aware of the palace etiquette and rules.

But now she is just the eldest daughter of the Sheng family who grew up on the farm and was just taken back to the Prime Minister's Mansion not long ago. She shouldn't be able to do that.

As she walked towards Jinxin Courtyard, she thought that she had just told Shi Huaizhi about her predicament and the solution she wanted.

If Shi Huaizhi was pretending to be unconscious, he should have taken action.

After all, he still needed her to accompany him to finish this play.

If he really fainted...

Sheng Nanzhi narrowed her eyes, then she also had a solution.

……

But for two consecutive days, the news coming from the Sheng Mansion was not very good.

"Sheng Yunrou is still the same, but she hasn't cursed anyone these past two days. She just keeps making a fuss about wanting to go back. She says things that no one else can understand."

"There are even rumors circulating in the Sheng Mansion that the Second Young Lady has gone crazy."

Sheng Nanzhi certainly knew that Sheng Yunrou was not really crazy.

What she said should be things that originally belonged to her world.

Shuanghan was reporting to her when Chunming walked in: "Princess, someone is coming from the Sheng Mansion."

"Please come in."

The person who came was Sheng Lin's attendant. "Greetings to the Crown Princess. The Prime Minister just brought a doctor to check Concubine Liu's pulse. He said that the baby in her womb is still a little unstable. Upon asking, we found out that Concubine Liu has been overthinking the past two days and is worried about the two young ladies."

"So the Prime Minister hopes that the eldest lady can return home to visit Concubine Liu."

Sheng Nanzhi knew what was going on. Sheng Lin saw that Sheng Yunrou was not in good condition, so he planned to take action against her.

Sheng Nanzhi pretended to be anxious: "How could this happen? Please wait a moment, I'll pack up and be back right away."

The attendant beside Sheng Lin said, "Okay, Miss, you can pack up some of your usual things and go back. You can spend the night with your aunt in the mansion. Tomorrow, the Prime Minister and the Second Miss will both be attending a banquet in the palace, so Miss, you can go with them."

"good idea."

Sheng Lin's plan was indeed very good. He was probably worried that if he took action tomorrow, something unexpected would happen and he would not be able to reverse the situation, so he simply let her go home today.

Sheng Nanzhi asked Chunming to take the attendants away before summoning Yuanbao out.

"I'm going back to Sheng Mansion today. Please arrange for a few people to follow me in case of emergency."

Yuan Bao clasped his fists and replied, "Yes."

Sheng Nanzhi even took an antidote pill in advance. Although it was not enough to deal with some serious poisons, it was more than enough if it was just a drug or something like that.

Ever since she was reborn and experienced the incident with Shi Huaizhi, she had someone prepare this antidote pill.

Only after everything was ready did Sheng Nanzhi bring his people back to the Sheng Mansion.

She guessed that since Sheng Lin used Concubine Liu as an excuse, he should at least let her go to see Concubine Liu. She also made a special trip to the Sixth Prince's Mansion to bring back some tonics that could be used during pregnancy.

However, he never expected that the servant would take Sheng Nanzhi directly to Sheng Yunrou.

Sheng Lin was standing under the tree in Sheng Yunrou's yard, his brows furrowed and his face full of worry.

As soon as Sheng Nanzhi stepped into the yard, she heard Sheng Yunrou's shouting from inside the house: "I've been dressed as the eldest daughter of the Sheng family. If I want to get married, of course I'll either marry a tall, rich and handsome man, or marry someone who only has me in his heart and eyes and will treat me well for the rest of his life."

"I'd never want to be with an old man!"

"I'm only in my teens! He can almost be my grandfather, right?"

"Let me go! I want to go back! I don't want to enter the palace!"

Then, only a humming sound remained. It must be the person inside who blocked Sheng Yunrou's mouth.

Sheng Nanzhi raised her eyebrows. Judging from Sheng Yunrou's words, Sheng Lin had tied her up?

"Was it my second sister who was shouting just now? What happened to my second sister?"

Sheng Lin was waiting for her to ask this question, and he just sighed when he heard it.

"Originally, I didn't want to let you know. After all, it's not something glorious to know. But you just heard about your second sister's situation. It's really not good."

"Fortunately, you are not an outsider..."

Sheng Lin paused, then sighed deeply, "Wasn't your second sister kidnapped on the day she married Wen Tingyun, and swapped with your third sister?"

"Yes."

Sheng Lin lowered his eyes: "Your second sister was sent back to the palace by the eldest prince the next day. She stayed outside for the entire night."

Sheng Nanzhi's eyes widened: "Second sister, could it be that she is with the eldest prince..."

Sheng Lin shook his head: "It's not the eldest prince, it's His Majesty."

"What? Your Majesty?"

Although she had guessed it long ago, her heart still skipped a beat when she heard Sheng Lin's words.

"How could it be His Majesty? Was it His Majesty who ordered the kidnapping of my second sister?"

Sheng Lin lowered his eyes. "I'll skip over the details of what happened. Anyway, your second sister is having an affair with His Majesty."

"Tomorrow's palace banquet is also organized by His Majesty to ensure that your second sister can enter the palace and be crowned as a concubine."

Sheng Lin raised his hand and pressed his forehead: "Actually, this is not a bad thing. The Sheng family is a large family. Almost every generation has women entering the palace to become concubines or empresses."

"But the bad thing is, your second sister can't accept it. She doesn't want to enter the palace as a concubine, and that night His Majesty seemed to... force her."

"She's been in a bad mood since she returned home. She keeps cursing at the mention of His Majesty. How can I let her enter the palace in this state?"

"If she causes any trouble in the palace and angers His Majesty, I'm afraid our entire Sheng family will be finished."

Sheng Lin said, looking at Sheng Nanzhi intently: "Nanzhi, look, what should we do about this matter?"

The big bad wolf finally showed its claws.
