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

Under everyone's gaze, Shen Shu lowered his head even further, his lips pressed tightly together, his hands clenched into fists, as he made a difficult decision in his heart.

"I do not have."

Having already spoken, Shen Shu could only feel guilty and silently apologize to Yan Li in his heart.

But seeing his reaction, everyone present understood that he still cared about Yan Li, and they also understood why he said that.

But Yan Li didn't understand. She only knew that liking someone was liking them, and disliking someone was disliking them. There was no need for so many twists and turns.

So Yan Li looked at Shen Shu with a puzzled expression, her eyes filled with grievance and hurt.

"I hate you, Shen Shu!"

After saying that, Yan Li turned and ran away. Shen Shu wanted to chase after Yan Li's back, but Cao Shi stopped him.

"If you dare to pursue me, don't call me 'Mom' anymore."

Cao's tone was threatening, and Shen Shu withdrew his foot before he could take a step. He knew his mother was capable of such things.

Watching this scene, Liang Qiuli thought to herself that Shen Shu's talk of liking Yan Li was nothing more than that.

As for Yan Li leaving in tears, she didn't soften her heart at all. She had interfered in the marriage between Shen Shu and her, so this was just a minor punishment to teach her a lesson.

Although he still had a troubled expression on his face, there was a faint, almost imperceptible smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Prince Duan has arrived."

Because of his dream last night, Prince Duan was absent-minded throughout the morning court session. After the court session ended, he heard that Lady Cao was going to refuse the marriage between Shen Shu and Liang Qiuli. For some reason, he rushed over.

"Your Highness, why have you come at this time? Is there nothing amiss in the palace?"

The Dowager was somewhat surprised to see her son, who was such a busy man.

She had originally thought that he would be kept in the palace by the Emperor to discuss state affairs again today.

"Thank you for your concern, Mother. There is nothing urgent today."

Prince Duan sat down opposite the Dowager Consort, glanced at Liang Qiuli discreetly to make sure she was alright, then turned his attention to Consort Cao.

"I heard that Lady Cao is unhappy with Shen Shu's marriage, so I came to see for myself."

Consort Cao felt that the prince's tone was no different from usual, so she thought that since the prince had spoken, she could take this opportunity to refuse Liang Qiuli as her daughter-in-law.

She didn't take Yan Li seriously at all, because no royal family would agree to Shen Shu marrying Yan Li.

Consort Cao then repeated what she had just said to the Dowager Consort, and added a sentence at the end.

"Your Highness, after Qiuli gets married, I will treat her as my own daughter."

"presumptuous!"

When Prince Duan heard Consort Cao speak of Liang Qiuli in such a way, even suggesting that she become Shen Shu's concubine, his face instantly darkened.

She then glanced at Liang Qiuli discreetly and saw that her expression had dimmed a bit. She knew that her words about not getting married yesterday were just said in anger, and that she probably still had feelings for Shen Shu.

"Who gave you permission to talk about Liang girl like that? She is the daughter-in-law I have chosen!"

Prince Duan's voice was icy.

Consort Cao was shocked by Prince Duan's outburst and turned pale with fright. She feared that he would dislike Shen Shu because of this, since Shen Shu was not Prince Duan's only son.

She said hurriedly.

"Your Highness, I...I was wrong. I will begin preparations for our wedding immediately."

Standing to the side, Shen Shu naturally couldn't bear to see his mother act like this, since it was because he didn't want to marry Shen Shu that his mother had planned this for him.

"Father, I am willing to marry Miss Liang."

While Shen Shu was speaking, Prince Duan did not look at him, but observed Liang Qiuli's reaction.

Seeing that she didn't show any shyness or joy, but remained indifferent, he couldn't help but wonder if he had guessed wrong.

Was she joking yesterday? She really didn't want to get married.

However, she was forced by her parents' wishes and the matchmaker's words to marry her.

So who would be a good match for her?

At this moment, Prince Duan suddenly recalled his dream from last night, the scene of him and Liang Qiuli getting married, which gave him an indescribable thrill.

Liang Qiuli only knew that Prince Duan was secretly watching her, but she didn't know that he had imagined a whole series of scenarios even though she hadn't done anything.

Liang Qiuli had no intention of actually marrying Shen Shu, so she felt it necessary to say something.

"And what about Miss Yan Li?"

Liang Qiuli met Shen Shu's eyes with a sincere expression.

"What does this have to do with Yan Li?"

When Prince Duan appeared behind the artificial hill yesterday, he only heard Shen Shu say that he had someone he liked, but he didn't hear clearly who it was.

So he was somewhat surprised to suddenly hear Yan Li's name today.

Liang Qiuli sneered inwardly. So Prince Duan didn't hear about this yesterday? Well, she'd better have a good talk with him.

It's just unknown whether Prince Duan will side with his adopted daughter and arrange for Shen Shu and Yan Li to get married.

After all, judging from the memories Liang Qiuli inherited from the original owner, Prince Duan had always doted on Yan Li, even treating her better than his own biological daughter.

Otherwise, Yan Li wouldn't have beaten the original owner to death, yet he was only punished with three months of confinement.

Cao didn't want to bring this up, but now she had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain. However, she emphasized that Shen Shu had said he didn't like Yan Li.

I just hope that Your Highness won't act rashly and let Yan Li marry Shen Shu.

If that's really the case, looking back, Liang Qiuli is actually quite good.

"Your Highness, I still prefer Miss Liang. Shu'er just said so..."

"Shut up."

Prince Duan impatiently interrupted Lady Cao.

Although Cao emphasized that Shen Shu did not like Yan Li, judging from what Shen Shu said to Liang Qiuli yesterday, plus the series of reactions of the two today, it was obvious to anyone that there was something between them.

He hadn't expected that Shen Shu's crush was Yan Li, and he did hesitate a bit.

He genuinely treated Yan Li like a daughter; after all, Yan Li's mother was his ideal woman back then.

If it weren't for Yan Li's mother's unconventional decision to marry that poor scholar, she wouldn't have ended up like that, growing up in the marketplace.

However, Prince Duan still wanted to probe Liang Qiuli's thoughts further, in case she...

Seeing the Prince of Duan's hesitant expression, Liang Qiuli knew what he was thinking. However, she felt no ripples in her heart. In fact, she felt that she wouldn't feel guilty if she used such a person later.

When she saw Duan Wangchao looking at her, her expression was initially sad, but then seemed to relax. Finally, as if she sensed his gaze, she returned to her usual indifferent expression.

Looking at Liang Qiuli like this, Prince Duan imagined many things. It seemed that Liang Qiuli really did not want to marry Shen Shu. In that case, he would not feel guilty if he let Shen Shu and Yan Li be together.

"Then let Shen Shu..."

Prince Duan looked at his mother and thought that if Shen Shu and Yan Li were to be together, his mother would probably not be able to accept it for a while.
