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

"Your Highness, please speak quickly. If Shen Shu does not marry, then I will have to find a new candidate for Qiu Li. Otherwise, I will have no face to meet Qiu Li's grandmother after I die."

Seeing that Prince Duan had not yet expressed his opinion, the Dowager Princess interrupted him first.

Upon hearing this, Prince Duan's mind raced.

He suddenly understood his feelings for Liang Qiuli.

Whether it was because last night's dream was too real, or because he paid extra attention to her today, he had to admit that he had developed an interest in this woman who was supposed to marry Shen Shucheng—the kind of interest that was romantic.

He didn't want her to marry anyone else.

Therefore, Prince Duan did not hesitate any longer and spoke directly.

"Shen Shu and Liang Qiuli's marriage will remain unchanged for the time being. However, the marriage will be postponed, as Qiuli is still in mourning."

But Liang Qiuli's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. Seeing her expression, Prince Duan was certain that she did not want to marry Shen Shu.

Prince Duan was overjoyed; he knew how to manipulate Liang Qiuli.

He smiled slightly and said to Liang Qiuli.

“Liang girl, if Shen Shu treats you badly, come and tell me, and I will stand up for you. As for Yan Li, she is no threat to you.”

Liang Qiuli wanted to roll her eyes.

Prince Duan meant to tell her that if she didn't want to marry Shen Shucheng, she should go and beg him.

They really know how to stir things up.

She sneered inwardly, but in this hunt, it was still hard to say who the prey and the hunter would be.

Because high-level hunters always appear as prey!

"It is up to Your Highness and the Dowager Princess to decide."

Liang Qiuli lowered her head and said, her voice devoid of any emotion.

But Prince Duan felt that Liang Qiuli's tone was full of displeasure. After all, she had not gotten what she wanted today, so it was normal for her to be a little irritable.

A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes; he would make it up to her properly later.

"In that case, I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

After saying this, Prince Duan turned and left.

After Prince Duan left, the Dowager Consort was also tired, so she didn't keep anyone else and told them all to go back and rest.

When Liang Qiuli returned to her courtyard, Zhulu closed the door and looked at Liang Qiuli with heartache.

"Miss, are you alright? If you're unhappy, just let it out. They're treating you like merchandise, taking you when they want you and discarding you when they don't!"

Yesterday, Zhulu felt that it was inappropriate for Miss to lose her temper in the Prince Duan's mansion, since she was living under someone else's roof.

But after what happened today, she truly felt sorry for her young lady. The legitimate daughter of the Liang family was now at the mercy of others' moods because of the passing of her husband and wife.

Looking at Zhulu, Liang Qiuli's heart softened again. She didn't use the system's loyalty talisman on Zhulu, but Zhulu was wholeheartedly devoted to her, or perhaps to the original owner of the body.

She will seek justice for the original owner of this body.

She will retaliate against all those who belittle her and hurt her.

……

"Ugh!"

Cao returned to her courtyard and sighed deeply. It was truly too difficult.

She had originally thought she could turn down the marriage proposal to Liang Qiuli, but now it seems that if Prince Duan really lets Shen Shu marry Yan Li, Liang Qiuli would be a better choice.

"Your Highness, what's wrong? Did you speak to the Dowager Consort about that matter today, and she didn't agree?"

When Cao's wet nurse, Granny Wang, saw this, she came forward and asked.

"Hmm, and... Granny, what should I do?"

Cao trusted Wang Mama, so she recounted everything that had happened at the Dowager Consort's place that day in detail.

After listening, Granny Wang remained silent for a long while before slowly speaking.

"Your Highness, putting everything else aside, the young master's current fiancée is still Miss Liang, not Yan Li."

Therefore, since the young master no longer has Yan Li in his heart, even a prince cannot force him to stay.

Liang Qiuli would never let go of the opportunity to bribe Granny Wang with a loyalty charm.

So she seems to be on Cao's side now, giving her advice, but she has already turned Cao's attention away from her and towards Yan Li.

Cao thought to herself, "That makes sense."

However, she knew her own son best. As long as he wasn't bewitched by Yan Li, he would never go against her wishes and develop feelings for that Yan Li again.

Just like today, as long as she is not willing, Shen Shu does not dare to say that he likes Yan Li in front of her.

“What the old woman said makes sense. Go and invite Shu’er to have lunch together.”

Having just left the Dowager Consort's place, Madam Cao wanted to bring Shen Shu to her courtyard, but Shen Shu said she was tired and wanted to go back to rest, so Madam Cao didn't insist.

"Yes."

Granny Wang went to Shen Shu's courtyard, but Shen Shu was not there.

Shen Shu was standing in the courtyard where Yan Li lived, trying to comfort the person he had hurt.

"Get out! You've already said you don't like me, so why are you still looking for me? Go find your fiancée!"

Yan Li sat on a stone bench, holding a whip in her hand. Whenever Shen Shu tried to get close, she would whip him to keep him away.

It was just to scare him; after so many lashes, not a single hair on his head was touched.

"It's not that I don't like you. I'm just afraid of upsetting my mother, so..."

While dodging the whip, Shen Shu tried to explain, but Yan Li interrupted him directly.

"I won't listen! You're afraid of hurting your mother, but you're not afraid of hurting me? You clearly promised that you would marry me."

"Li'er, wait a little longer. Let me persuade Liang Qiuli to break off the engagement on her own initiative."

Shen Shu had always wanted Liang Qiuli to break off the engagement, but he was provoked by Liang Qiuli's words yesterday, which led him to go to Cao Shi.

"All you ever say is 'wait!' She may be your fiancée, but we are the ones who truly love each other!"

Yan Li believes that love is what matters, even though Liang Qiuli is Shen Shu's fiancée and she is the one who interfered in their relationship.

But what can they do when they don't love each other?

Enraged, Yan Li lashed out with her whip again, this time striking Shen Shu directly.

"Son!"

Wang Mama, who had just entered the courtyard, screamed when she saw this scene and rushed over.

Yan Li's whip struck Granny Wang's back, and blood immediately appeared on Granny Wang's back.

"Mommy!"

Upon seeing this, Shen Shu quickly helped Wang Mama up.

This Granny Wang is Mother's wet nurse. If Mother finds out, she will be even less likely to accept Yan Li.

This is how to do……

"I didn't mean to, she just suddenly walked past!"

Yan Li was also startled and quickly explained that it wasn't her fault anyway.

Shen Shu didn't think Yan Li did it on purpose. After all, she was just a bit impulsive, but kind-hearted.

"Young master, it's good that you're alright. This old servant is fine. The concubine invites you to lunch, so please don't be late."

Despite the pain, Granny Wang managed a weak smile.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Shen Shu couldn't bear to refuse, and besides, he also needed to explain to his mother about Wang Mama being injured.

So he first had someone help Granny Wang back, then turned and walked to Yan Li's side, whispering something to her.

"wait for me."

"Go quickly, and remember to be firm this time. Your mother only has one son, and she can't force you to do something you don't want to do."

Having grown up in the streets, Yan Li had witnessed many instances of mothers spoiling their sons. Whenever her son made a fuss, everything would eventually go according to his wishes.

Shen Shu felt that Yan Li's words made sense, and although he liked Yan Li, he had never given her a formal title. It was only right for him to rebel against his mother for Yan Li's sake.
