Sheng Lin's mood became increasingly irritable. He only glanced at Sheng Nanzhi gloomily and said, "I know. Don't worry."

After he finished speaking, he turned away.

Aunt Liu stared at Sheng Lin's back timidly for a while before looking away: "Will your father be angry? Will he hate you for this?"

Sheng Nanzhi sighed: "There's nothing I can do about it. Even if it makes Dad hate me, I have to say these words."

"Li Yueru has already bullied Auntie. If I hadn't accompanied Auntie back today, Auntie would probably not know how she was plotted against. I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to keep the child in your belly."

Sheng Nanzhi took Aunt Liu's hand and said, "Aunt, you are usually too soft-hearted. You just need to remember that I am the Princess of Yi, and my third sister is the Princess of the Seventh Prince. We are both pregnant."

"We are all here to support you. Just stand up straight when you are in the Sheng Mansion. If you encounter anyone looking down on you or bullying you again, just send someone to find me and my third sister."

Aunt Liu's eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in her heart.

In fact, she disliked Sheng Nanzhi from the beginning to the end.

So before, when Sheng Nanzhi and Sheng Qingqian had a conflict and were at loggerheads with each other, she stood on Sheng Qingqian's side almost without hesitation.

After all, Sheng Qingqian grew up by her side.

Sheng Nanzhi is a disaster to the world, and she doesn't have much mother-daughter relationship with her, so how can she compare to Sheng Qingqian?

But she never expected that even so, Sheng Nanzhi would still help her like this.

Speaking of which, Sheng Nanzhi is actually a very good person.

It's not her fault that she was born to bring disaster to the world.

In the incident with Shi Huaizhi, she was also a victim.

In fact, she has done her best for her.

"Okay." Aunt Liu patted Sheng Nanzhi's hand: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Sheng Nanzhi asked someone to help Aunt Liu move the pots of saffron and send them to Sheng Lin.

He carefully checked Aunt Liu's yard again and confirmed that there were no clues before leaving the Sheng Mansion.

As soon as they boarded the carriage, Nanny Jin spoke immediately, "Princess, you were indeed a bit impulsive today. What you said to Prime Minister Sheng earlier was very much like a threat to him. I saw that Prime Minister Sheng's face was not good at that time."

Sheng Nanzhi knew this, of course: "But Aunt Liu is my biological mother. I can't just watch her get framed and suffer so much injustice."

Nanny Jin sighed, "That's true, but I think there's a better way."

"Madam Sheng was born into a wealthy family. Her daughter, Sheng Yunrou, was a Phoenix Girl destined by Heaven and entered the palace as Consort Rou. She also has a son. Although he is still young, he is a legitimate son. It is unlikely that Prime Minister Sheng will divorce his wife."

"Concubine Rou is favored now. If she gets pregnant, Prime Minister Sheng might value her and the baby even more."

"By then, I'm afraid it will be even worse for you, Princess."

Sheng Nanzhi naturally knew all of this.

It was because she knew this that she did it on purpose.

Firstly, Concubine Hua had already given her some advice before. She had to take this opportunity to make Concubine Hua feel that she was her only support.

Secondly, she wanted to push Sheng Lin towards Sheng Yunrou. If Sheng Yunrou became pregnant, she was sure that Sheng Lin would abandon her and choose Sheng Yunrou. After all, the weight of a prince and a grandson was very different.

She just wants Sheng Lin to choose Sheng Yunrou. Only if Sheng Lin chooses Sheng Yunrou can her plan continue.

After all, she would not let Sheng Yunrou and Wen Tingyun go.

She will not let Li Yueru go.

Naturally, she wouldn't let Sheng Lin go easily.

Although Sheng Lin never actually harmed her, all the tragedies she experienced in her previous life started with Sheng Lin.

Sheng Nanzhi lowered her eyes and smiled: "It's okay, I'm a woman, even if Daddy is dissatisfied with me, he shouldn't turn around and deal with me."

"I just need to stay quietly in Prince Yi's mansion and take good care of my pregnancy, and not get involved in those power struggles."

When Sheng Nanzhi said that she was staying quietly in Prince Yi's Mansion to take care of her pregnancy, she really was very quiet and never left Prince Yi's Mansion.

Even when there was a palace banquet, she simply said she was not feeling well and did not go.

Although she rarely went out, she never missed any news from either the Sheng Mansion or the palace.

"Lord Sheng has investigated and discovered that someone in the Sheng Mansion bought a fake abortion pill from an outside pharmacy. Although they haven't found out who it was, when you consider the previous incident of Madam Sheng faking a miscarriage, everything becomes clear."

"Lord Sheng immediately took his men to confront Madam Sheng."

"Even with all the witnesses and evidence, and everything being perfectly clear, Madam Sheng still denied everything. She refused to admit that she had bought the saffron and placed it in the Sheng residence, nor did she admit that she had faked a miscarriage to frame Madam Liu."

"But with such sufficient evidence, whether she admits it or not is actually not that important anymore."

"Master Sheng was furious and ordered Madam Sheng to be placed under house arrest, forbidding her to leave the courtyard where she lived for two weeks."

"She was also asked to hand over the power of the housekeeper to Concubine Liu, and let Concubine Liu take charge of the household affairs."

Sheng Nanzhi curled the corners of her mouth. It was too easy for her to be placed under house arrest for only half a month and give up the power of housekeeper.

But it doesn't matter, she is not in a hurry, just take it slow.

"Madam Liu also had someone send over a set of children's clothes, saying that the clothes were worn by you when you were a child. When you give birth to your unborn child, you can wear them. In addition to the children's clothes, there is also a set of jewelry."

Sheng Nanzhi glanced at the small clothes and jewelry and smiled: "Put them away."

In the evening, Shi Huaizhi also came.

Shi Huaizhi handed Sheng Nanzhi an envelope. Sheng Nanzhi opened it and took a look. There was a silver note inside.

The corners of her mouth curled up, and she slowly put the envelope away.

Shi Huaizhi took in her smile and curved his eyebrows. "The palace banquet last night was quite exciting. It's a pity that you didn't go to see the show."

"Because it was just a small banquet, there weren't any strict rules. The Queen's father brought several female relatives with him. Those women were all young and beautiful. I heard that they were all the Queen's nieces. After the banquet, they all stayed in the Queen's palace under the pretext of accompanying her."

"The Emperor also stayed in the Queen's palace."

Sheng Nanzhi raised her eyebrows. Everyone knows what the queen is thinking.

This is to put more of their own people in the emperor's harem to consolidate his favor.

"The Seventh Prince also brought his consort into the palace. The Seventh Prince's consort and Consort Rou were at loggerheads. As soon as the palace banquet ended, the two started a quarrel in the imperial garden."

"In the end, Concubine Rou won by using her status as the pressure."

Sheng Nanzhi smiled. Sheng Yunrou was dissatisfied with Sheng Qingqian marrying Wen Tingyun for her. Sheng Qingqian knew that Sheng Yunrou had seduced Wen Tingyun in her previous life, so the two naturally couldn't stand each other.

Shi Huaizhi looked at Sheng Nanzhi and said calmly, "The Seventh Prince drank too much and stayed in the palace for a while. The Seventh Prince's wife also stayed, but was taken to the Xianfei Palace by the Xianfei in the name of teaching."

Sheng Nanzhi's eyes suddenly lit up.
