Quick transmigration to punish scumbags, have a child to inherit everything from them

“Your Highness, although I am a commoner, this is neither a sacrifice nor a grand ceremony to worship Heaven, and there is absolutely no need for such complicated rituals. If Your Highness insists on doing this, are you not afraid that word will spread and chill the hearts of the people?”

Despite the unfriendly tone of the two men, Liang Qiuli remained unfazed and responded calmly with a composed expression.

"You...you actually dare to talk back!"

Princess Fulan never expected Liang Qiuli to be so bold. You know, most people would be so frightened by offending a princess that they would immediately beg for mercy. How could they dare to use such sweet words?

Before Princess Fran could launch another attack, the door to the private room was pushed open.

“Princess, why have you secretly invited my fiancée here to make things difficult for me? Is it because you are dissatisfied with me? I must go to the palace and speak with His Majesty about this.”

Lu Jingyan, who rushed over upon receiving the news, breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing Liang Qiuli standing unharmed to the side, but his tone remained icy, showing no respect whatsoever to Princess Fulan.

General Lu, what brings you here?

When Fran saw Lu Jingyan, who was dressed in a black brocade robe, she was slightly excited. She hadn't expected him to return. She even awkwardly straightened her clothes, trying to make a good impression on her beloved.

But he was choked by his cold and piercing words, his face instantly turned ugly, and he froze on the spot.

But she still blurted out instinctively, "I can't tell my brother about this."

After entering the room, Lu Jingyan kept his attention on Liang Qiuli. Seeing Liang Qiuli's lonely figure, he immediately stepped forward and took her hand, wanting to give her some comfort and strength, and to tell her that he was there for her.

Feeling the warmth from his hand, Liang Qiuli felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She gripped Lu Jingyan's large hand tightly in return and looked up at him, her eyes filled with love.

When Fran came to her senses, this was the scene she witnessed. She was filled with mixed feelings; she had never seen Lu Jingyan so gentle and considerate.

The jealousy in her eyes was impossible to hide, but she suppressed it deeply because of Lu Jingyan's next sentence.

"In that case, Princess, please don't come looking for Qiu Li anymore, otherwise..."

After finishing his sentence, Lu Jingyan ignored Princess Fulan, took Liang Qiuli's hand, and turned to leave.

After the two had completely disappeared, Princess Fran swept the tea leaves onto the ground, splashing tea and scattering porcelain shards everywhere.

Lady Baiwei, who entered later, was also startled by the scene. Ignoring the somewhat familiar figure she had just passed by, she focused all her attention back on this little darling.

"Francine, what's wrong with you?"

"aunt."

Princess Fran burst into tears upon seeing her familiar elders, tears streaming down her face like broken pearls.

"He... he actually spoke to me like that because of that woman. Even my imperial brother has never scolded me like that."

Fran didn't even care that Zhao Yaoyao was there, and threw herself into Lady Baiwei's arms.

Seeing this, Lady Baiwei hugged Princess Fran tightly with heartache and patted her back gently, completely disregarding everything else.

Zhao Yaoyao, standing to the side, was still somewhat stunned. First, she was shocked by how much her uncle valued that woman, even at the cost of offending the princess for her sake. Second, she was also shocked by the woman's name: Qiu Li!

This isn't the same name as the woman Fu Xinhan met in Yangzhou. Could it be that she... she didn't die, but... she's going to...

A flood of thoughts surged through Zhao Yaoyao's mind; she dared not imagine the worst possible outcome.
