As Chu Muyao and her group of four walked along the streets of the imperial city, they happened to run into Shen Huai'an, who had just come looking for a doctor.

The moment the two met, a look of astonishment flashed across Shen Huai'an's face, but recalling what had happened before, he seemed to understand completely.

Along the way, he gradually calmed down and realized that something was wrong.

He had clearly arranged to meet the princess, but he didn't even get to see her. It was as if he had been knocked unconscious. When he woke up again, he was in bed with Song Biyun, and government officials had come looking for him.

"Mu Yao, I have a heart full of love for you, why are you treating me like this?"

Shen Huai'an rushed forward, questioning with resentment, "They were clearly in love before, how did things turn out like this?"

She didn't even give him a chance to explain himself properly before resorting to such a cruel method!

With this incident, his reputation is definitely ruined. If Song Biyun's baby is really lost, he really doesn't know what to do.

"What do you mean by 'sincere'? I have nothing to do with you. Wasn't the twenty lashes I gave you last time enough of a lesson?"

Chu Muyao was furious. Shen Huai'an was truly heartless. She and Song Biyun even had a child together, yet he still had the nerve to say such heartfelt words to her.

"It was you, wasn't it? You orchestrated all of this today. I'm your savior! How could you treat me like this?"

However, when Shen Huai'an stepped forward again, Chu Junting kicked him away.

"boom!"

Shen Huai'an was sent flying backward and crashed heavily to the ground.

At that moment, he felt as if his whole body was falling apart, and he couldn't get up for a long time.

"If you dare to utter another word about Mu Yao, I will take your life!"

Chu Junting's beautiful and noble face was tinged with a chilling coldness, and the murderous aura spreading in his eyes was even more frightening.

Shen Huai'an, who was still wailing, instinctively shut his mouth the moment he met Chu Junting's gaze, not daring to say another word. Chu Muyao was gentle and kind, and no matter what, she wouldn't take his life.

The King of Chu was completely different; once he gave the order, he would surely die.

"Let's go."

Chu Junting looked at Song Ruozhen and Chu Muyao, who nodded slightly and walked past.

However, as they passed by, another scream of agony came from behind Shen Huai'an. Chu Junting had broken his arm with a single stomp.

"Let's not let people like this affect our mood, let's go."

Song Ruozhen pulled Chu Muyao away without looking back. It was no wonder that someone like Shen Huai'an ended up like this.

Those who commit many unrighteous acts will surely perish. This outcome is his own choice, and he deserves it!

"Now I really think, how could I have been so blind to like him?"

Chu Muyao looked embarrassed and felt more and more ashamed. If this matter were to be mentioned in the future, it would be a dark history for her!

Song Ruozhen chuckled, "This has nothing to do with you. It's just that he's been carefully putting on a good act in front of you. It's normal that you haven't seen through him yet."

"Sister-in-law, my brother's character is impeccable. I had never seen him care about any girl before, and I thought he would never have a girl he liked in his life, let alone have such a gentle side."

"My brother has changed since he met you. I hope I can find someone like that someday."

Chu Muyao couldn't help but dream. She thought that both the third and fifth princes were good. Before, Shen Huai'an was gentle and humble in front of her, and she always thought he was a gentleman.

Looking at all that he does in private now, I just feel disgusted.

"I used to dislike Song Biyun, but now I just feel sorry for her. What can she expect from marrying someone like that?"

The two walked into the shop while talking. Although the palace had bestowed many gifts and the Prince's mansion had made meticulous preparations in every aspect, including preparing many sets of quilts, since they planned to rearrange the house, there were still quite a few things that needed to be added.

Song Ruozhen was looking at the inkstones in the shop, about to take a look, when Chu Muyao pulled her aside.

"Shhh."

Chu Muyao raised a finger to her lips, signaling her not to speak.

A hint of surprise flashed across Song Ruozhen's face. Following Chu Muyao's gaze, she saw the two women in front of her.

One of them was dressed elegantly with a gentle face; one could tell from her attire that she was a quiet and gentle person. The woman next to her was slightly younger and very lively, but her face revealed a hint of shrewdness and calculation.

"Sister, please help me. Aren't you bored living alone in the palace? Why don't you let me come in? Then we sisters can take care of each other."

Jiang Qinglan held Jiang Luxue's hand, her eyes full of anticipation, showing a determination to achieve her goal.

"You have been married into the royal family for three years and have not yet given birth to a child. The whole family is very anxious. If this continues, I'm afraid you will lose your position as the princess."

This isn't just my wish, it's also my parents' wish. Once I enter the Prince's mansion, my children will be your children. From then on, my sisters and I will have a very secure position in the Prince's mansion, so you can rest assured."

Jiang Qinglan patiently persuaded Jiang Luxue, seemingly genuinely concerned for her well-being.

Jiang Luxue's expression was complicated. You could tell from her expression that she was actually unwilling, but her family had brought it up more than once.

At first, she thought there was no rush. After all, she hadn't been married to the prince for very long, and if she waited a little longer, she might get pregnant sometime.

However, three years have passed, and there is still no sign of pregnancy.

Not only at home, but now there are rumors outside that she can't have children. If this continues, her position as queen is indeed not secure at all.

“Qinglan, it’s one thing for the Prince to take other people into the Prince’s mansion, but you are my own sister, also born of the same principal wife. How can you become a concubine in the Prince’s mansion?” Jiang Luxue couldn’t help but say.

Jiang Qinglan waved her hand, "Sister, we are sisters. If I were to enter the Prince's mansion, I would certainly not be a concubine. I'm sure you and brother-in-law would not be willing to let me suffer such grievances."

So, you should tell your brother-in-law to marry me as his equal wife. That way, we sisters won't be separated by seniority, and things will be much more harmonious from now on.

After hearing this conversation, Song Ruozhen and Chu Muyao exchanged a glance, wondering what kind of nonsense they had just heard.

Even in ancient times, it wasn't uncommon for sisters to serve one person, but for the younger sister to be so determined to marry the same man as her older sister, and to go to such lengths to get into the family, is truly remarkable.

"She's a princess? I wonder which prince she is?" Song Ruozhen asked in a low voice, thinking that Chu Muyao would probably know more.
