Sheng Qingqian seemed to suddenly realize what shocking words she had just said. She quickly covered her mouth, shook her head in panic, and said vaguely: "No, I didn't say anything."

Wen Tingyun naturally didn't think that he had misheard. He walked straight to Sheng Qingqian and grabbed her clothes: "What did you say?"

"What father and son? Who am I the father of?"

Sheng Qingqian looked frightened and quickly shook her head: "I don't know, I don't know anything. I just happened to hear someone say that. What's the point of asking me? Go ask your mother."

Wen Tingyun looked at her with gritted teeth, then let her go and left quickly.

Sheng Qingqian then fell to the ground, muttering, "It's over, it's over."

He pretends to be quite similar.

Sheng Nanzhi sneered inwardly, but all this was probably just a play performed by Sheng Qingqian.

She just wanted to reveal Wen Tingyun's life experience in front of everyone. She wanted Wen Tingyun to be recognized by His Majesty as soon as possible and become a prince so that she could become the prince's consort.

Aunt Liu was so shocked by the sudden news that she could hardly close her mouth. She quickly walked over to Sheng Qingqian and asked, "Qingqian, what did you mean by what you just said?"

Sheng Qingqian raised her eyes and looked towards Concubine Liu. From the corner of her eyes, she saw Sheng Nanzhi following behind Concubine Liu with a slightly complicated expression. A hint of pride flashed through her heart, and then she hurriedly said to Concubine Liu, "I... I also accidentally heard someone in the Wen Mansion say that my mother-in-law was married to the Wen family for only seven months when Tingyun was born."

"Although it was said to be a premature birth, Tingyun's weight and appearance at birth did not seem premature at all."

"And they said that my mother-in-law got married in a hurry less than half a month after leaving the palace. If Tingyun is not my father-in-law's, then there is only one possibility, that my mother-in-law was already pregnant before leaving the palace."

"My mother-in-law was once the Empress's personal maid. The only person in the palace who could have made her pregnant was that man."

After Sheng Qingqian finished speaking, she seemed to react and said, "If Tingyun knows about this, he will definitely go to the mother-in-law to question her. I have to go back home quickly."

She stood up hurriedly and ran away.

Aunt Liu's hands were shaking: "If what Qing Qian said... is true, then Master Wen is..."

"It's the prince." Sheng Nanzhi said.

Aunt Liu bit her lip and said, "No wonder. If Master Wen was a prince, everything would make sense."

"When the Sixth Prince was in trouble, I found it a little strange that the Master and the Madam agreed to let the Second Miss marry Young Master Wen."

"After all, the Second Miss is the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Even if she doesn't marry the Sixth Prince, shouldn't she be able to choose from among all the men in the Imperial City? Young Master Wen has nothing, and the Wen family has long since fallen. No matter what, it shouldn't be Young Master Wen's turn."

"If Master Wen is the prince, and the master and the mistress already knew about this, then it is possible."

Aunt Liu quickly turned her head and looked at Sheng Nanzhi: "The one who was engaged to Master Wen was originally you."

"you……"

Sheng Nanzhi smiled and said, "Aunt, I really have figured it out."

"If Master Wen is really the prince, then it will be even less likely for me to take his place."

“Everything has its destiny.”

She paused, then continued, "However, my daughter feels that no matter whether what Third Sister said is true or false, this matter must not be spread outside of our community."

Aunt Liu nodded quickly: "Yes, you can't say it, you have to keep your mouth shut."

"This news is unconfirmed. It concerns the royal bloodline, so it's not something we can discuss casually."

Sheng Nanzhi curled the corners of her mouth. Sheng Qingqian said this specifically, firstly to let Wen Tingyun know, and secondly to spread the matter through them, especially the people around her.

After all, she married the Sixth Prince.

Sheng Qingqian naturally thought that the maid who followed her closely must be someone close to the Sixth Prince.

The people around the Sixth Prince are definitely extremely vigilant and sensitive about the royal bloodline.

Once Wen Tingyun's identity is known, he will definitely find ways to report it to the imperial concubine.

Concubine Hua will definitely make a big deal out of this matter.

Moreover, she had just revealed that Sheng Yunrou wanted to use her to win over Concubine Hua. Once this matter was exposed, Concubine Hua would know the reason why the Sheng family wanted to marry Sheng Yunrou to Wen Tingyun before, and that the Sheng family sided with Wen Tingyun after Shi Huaizhi got into trouble.

Concubine Hua and Sheng Yunrou must be like water and fire.

Sheng Qingqian planned everything, intending to kill three birds with one stone.

But she just didn't want to do as she wished.

She nodded and lowered her voice to Aunt Liu, "I'll leave the people around you in your care. Don't worry, I promise that I and the people around me will never reveal a word about this matter."

Someone hurried over from a distance: "Princess Yi, Concubine Liu, the palace team is here to pick up Concubine Rou."

Sheng Nanzhi nodded, reached out and shook Aunt Liu's sweaty hand: "Aunt, let's go, let's go see Concubine Rou off."

After going to the door and sending Sheng Yunrou onto the sedan chair, Sheng Nanzhi also returned to Prince Yi's Mansion.

She specially asked someone to keep an eye on the Wen family's movements. Just in the evening, news came from the Wen family.

"Wen Tingyun rushed back to the Wen family and went straight to Madam Wen. However, as soon as Wen Tingyun said the first sentence, Madam Wen noticed something was wrong and quickly dismissed her attendants and even ordered the servants to guard outside the courtyard."

"Our people only heard a heated argument inside, but they didn't hear clearly what they said."

"Later, the Third Miss rushed back and was called in by Madam Wen and Master Wen."

"The three of them stayed inside for a full hour before they finally opened the door."

"Then, Madam Wen ordered the Third Miss to stay in their courtyard and reflect on her behavior. She was not allowed to step out of the courtyard without permission."

"The maids around the Third Young Lady have all been sent to other courtyards by Madam Wen. They are not allowed to take care of the Third Young Lady."

"I heard that Madam Wen was furious and even told the nanny beside her that the Third Miss was indeed just a concubine's daughter, petty and without a sense of the overall situation."

Sheng Nanzhi lowered her eyes and smiled: "So, after this farce ended, the only one who was punished was my third sister?"

Not surprising.

Du Qiyu had been a maid serving the Queen for so many years and had seen too many palace struggles. Naturally, she saw things much more deeply than Sheng Qingqian.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to endure for so many years with such a card in his hand.

She would never let Wen Tingyun's identity be revealed at this time.

However, with Sheng Qingqian fanning the flames, things might not develop exactly as she planned. With things getting this far, there must be someone well-informed who got the news.

Wen Tingyun’s situation is probably very bad now.
