Sheng Qingqian also came with Aunt Liu.

Sheng Nanzhi stood at the door, his expression turning slightly cold as he looked at Sheng Qingqian following behind him.

Concubine Liu and Sheng Qingqian naturally noticed the change in Sheng Nanzhi's expression. Concubine Liu looked a little embarrassed and took two steps forward to hold Sheng Nanzhi's arm: "This is my first time in Prince Yi's Mansion. This Prince Yi's Mansion is really big and very beautiful."

"You live here? Is this... the main courtyard?"

Sheng Nanzhi naturally knew that Aunt Liu did this on purpose because she wanted Sheng Nanzhi to do this for her sake and not attack Sheng Qingqian directly.

Sheng Nanzhi withdrew his gaze indifferently: "No."

"The prince is in the main courtyard, and I'm pregnant. The smell of medicine in the prince's bedroom is too strong. The doctor said it's not good for the baby in my belly, so I moved here."

"This is the place I chose myself. The scenery is beautiful from a high vantage point."

Aunt Liu nodded and glanced at the lake in front of her: "It is indeed good."

The mother, daughter and their two children entered the main hall downstairs together, and the maid immediately served them tea and snacks.

Aunt Liu then got to the point: "Your father has already told me what your third sister did, and I've also heard the rumors outside."

"This matter is indeed your third sister's fault."

"Early this morning, I went to find your third sister and gave her a good scolding."

"She already knows she was wrong, so she followed me to find you. She wanted to apologize to you."

Do you know you are wrong?

Sheng Nanzhi looked up at Sheng Qingqian, who was hanging her head and saying nothing. This didn't look like someone who admitted her mistake.

Aunt Liu quickly reached out and poked Sheng Qingqian, who then bit her lip and whispered, "I'm sorry, it's my fault."

Aunt Liu quickly looked at Sheng Nanzhi again: "Your third sister has already apologized, so why don't you forgive her?"

This made Sheng Nanzhi laugh: "Let's not talk about how reluctant she was to apologize. Just tell me, why should I forgive her just because she apologized?"

"Auntie just said that you've heard some of the rumors out there. Did you really hear what they were saying?"

"They said I was being unfilial by not complying with the robbers' unreasonable demands."

"They said I was a calamity star, and that Auntie's troubles were caused by me."

"I really did grow up in the countryside..."

Sheng Nanzhi raised her eyes and said, "Even though you have returned to the Sheng Mansion safely, those rumors have not completely disappeared. Do you know how I feel when I hear those rumors?"

Aunt Liu said hurriedly, "It's all just nonsense. Why bother with it? You're usually at the palace. Just stay at home for a few days and wait for the rumors to die down."

Sheng Nanzhi lowered her eyes, her gaze cold and gloomy. "Yes, these are just rumors. What about the story about Third Sister having someone shoot arrows at me and sending me to Shili Pavilion alone to exchange for my concubine?"

"If I really go there, will Third Sister prepare people to ambush me there and do something to me?"

Aunt Liu hurriedly said, "How is that possible? Your third sister would never do such a foolish thing."

Impossible?

Sheng Nanzhi curled the corners of his mouth and said, "That may not be the case."

Aunt Liu sighed: "It is true that your third sister was confused about this matter, but there is a reason why your third sister did this."

"Given your third sister's situation and status, she can actually marry into a good family."

"But the bride exchange incident happened. That thief was truly despicable. He actually switched your third sister to the bridal chamber and consummated the marriage with Wen Tingyun."

"Plus, her mother-in-law is really not easy to get along with. Your third sister has suffered a lot of grievances in the Wen family."

"She saw you marry Prince Yi, become the prince's consort, and then the princess, and your life got better and better. When she thought of herself, she felt jealous."

"I've already taught her a lesson before, and she won't dare to do it again."

Sheng Nanzhi just looked at Sheng Qingqian and sneered. Aunt Liu knew Wen Tingyun's true identity, so why could she say such a thing?

Don’t dare anymore?

She didn't dare, and I'm afraid she just didn't dare now.

When Wen Tingyun becomes a prince and she becomes his consort, her pride will surely soar to the sky.

Soon, maybe today.

She was waiting to see Sheng Qingqian's true face.

Aunt Liu lowered her head and said softly, "You are all my children. I really don't want to see you killing each other."

"I see that you are living a good life now. You are the mistress of this huge Prince Yi's Mansion."

"You are now the only one who is pregnant in Prince Yi's harem. As long as you give birth to the child, your position will be as secure as Mount Tai."

"Your third sister was just confused for a moment because her family was having such a hard time. Besides, this incident didn't cause you any substantial harm. Please forgive her for my sake."

Sheng Nanzhi sneered inwardly, but didn't show it on her face: "Okay, I'll forgive her for Auntie's sake."

"But Auntie, let me make it clear. This is just the first time. If it happens again, I will definitely not let you off easily."

"Okay, okay." Aunt Liu said hurriedly, "Don't worry, there will definitely not be a next time."

Sheng Nanzhi curled the corners of her mouth. Among the three people present, perhaps only Aunt Liu believed this.

Sheng Qingqian probably thought that even if there was a next time, she would be more cautious and would never let her find out or know.

Aunt Liu was relieved after receiving the confirmation. Her eyes fell on Sheng Nanzhi's belly: "You are pregnant. How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Sheng Nanzhi shook her head: "No."

Sheng Qingqian couldn't help but speak up: "Auntie, you don't know that the Imperial Concubine really values ​​the child in Big Sister's belly."

"I heard that he specially sent his personal nanny to take care of Big Sister. He also sent two cooks and a female doctor. They ensured that Big Sister could eat whatever she wanted. Even if she felt a little unwell, the female doctor would immediately come and help her recover."

A hint of envy flashed in Aunt Liu's eyes: "That's good, that's great."

"You are young and in good health, so it's much better."

"Unlike me, I had some sequelae from giving birth to you two before. I'm also old and weak, so this pregnancy seems to be particularly difficult."

"I can't eat, and my hips hurt after walking a few steps."

"The doctor also said that I should walk more and shouldn't stay in bed for too long."

Aunt Liu shook her head and sighed softly: "I wish the baby in my belly could be as sensible as your child."

"Besides, I am a concubine myself, and the master has no shortage of children, so there is even less question of whether I should be given any attention."

She didn't know if Sheng Nanzhi was overthinking it, but she always felt that there was something else behind what Aunt Liu said.

Sheng Nanzhi was about to speak when she saw Nanny Jin walking in from outside.

Nanny Jin's eyes fell on Sheng Qingqian and she raised her eyebrows: "How come Madam Wen still has the time to be here?"

"I'm afraid your majesty's imperial edict has already been delivered to the Wen Mansion."
