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

When Yan Li saw Prince Duan, he paused, as if he had seen a savior, and the anger on his face turned into grievance.

She walked quickly to Prince Duan's side and, before anyone else could speak, began to weep.

“Father, they are all mean to me. My brother Shu and I are clearly in love, but they are trying to separate us.”

Consort Cao even went on a hunger strike to force Brother Shu to give in.

"Should I stay in the Prince Duan's mansion? I want to go back to my life in the marketplace; that's where my home is!"

"Nonsense, this is your home, where else would you go?"

Although Prince Duan's words were stern, they were more of a sign of helplessness. His meaning was clear: he was siding with Yan Li.

Yan Li naturally understood as well, and she took the opportunity to push her luck, turning her attention to Liang Qiuli.

"Then Father, let her go now, or I will leave today!"

Yan Li thought that Prince Duan would continue to side with her as always, but it seemed...

Liang Qiuli had already gotten into character when Prince Duan entered the room; she lowered her eyes and appeared obedient and docile.

When Yan Li pointed at her and told her to leave, she suddenly looked up, wanting to argue, but then suddenly remembered something and could only lower her eyes dejectedly.

She is now all alone, and she has to swallow all her grievances by herself.

When Prince Duan saw Liang Qiuli in this state, his heart felt as if it had been struck.

He could imagine that the little girl must have been just as bright and generous as Yan Li when she was pampered at home, but now that she was in the Prince's mansion, she could only hide all her sharpness and be obedient, sensible and careful to please everyone.

At this moment, Prince Duan's displeasure was undisguised as he reprimanded Yan Li.

"Nonsense! Liang is the orphan of a meritorious official, and she is also engaged to Shu'er. How can you just drive her away like that?"

"Then just cancel her engagement with Brother Shu."

Yan Li sensed that Duan Wang's tone was unfriendly, but she remained fearless and blurted it out in a fit of pique.

Upon hearing this, Prince Duan hesitated. He looked at Liang Qiuli again, and his eyes met her sparkling gaze.

Liang Qiuli wanted to cancel the engagement, but not by being kicked out like this; she wanted to dissolve the engagement in a dignified manner!

Liang Qiuli doesn't necessarily cling to the Duanwang Mansion!

Prince Duan naturally saw the pride of the Liang family in Liang Qiuli's eyes, and thinking of his previous thoughts, a trace of reluctance flashed through his heart.

It seems we should take this opportunity to go along with her wishes and annul the marriage.

"Father, if she won't leave, I will. I'll just go with my mother!"

Seeing that Prince Duan was looking at Liang Qiuli and hadn't spoken for a long time, Yan Li wanted to give him another strong dose of medicine.

When Prince Duan heard Yan Li mention her mother, a hint of displeasure flashed through his mind, and he felt that she was being unreasonable.

I used to feel some regret for not being able to have the love I had for her mother, but now I think her mother was really ungrateful back then, insisting on marrying such a person for the sake of true love.

"If you don't want the status of being the adopted daughter of the Prince Duan's mansion anymore, you can leave if you want. If you don't want to leave, you'll be confined for a month to learn the rules!"

Upon hearing Prince Duan's words, not only Yan Li's expression changed, but the Dowager Consort and Shen Shu were also shocked.

I thought that Prince Duan would go along with Yan Li as always, and even if he was dissatisfied, he would turn a blind eye. I didn't expect him to get so angry.

……

Cao, who had been unconscious, slowly opened her eyes after everyone had left.

"Granny Wang, have they all left?"

Cao actually woke up not long after the doctor finished examining her, but fearing that someone would notice something was amiss, she continued to pretend to be unconscious.

This hunger strike and fainting were all planned by Granny Wang beforehand. She originally just wanted to soften Shen Shu's heart and even make her dislike Yan Li.

Unexpectedly, even the prince was alarmed, and the prince even punished Yan Li.

This was completely beyond her expectations, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and relief.

"They've all left, Your Highness. Don't worry, the eldest son has gone to fetch your medicine."

Granny Wang carefully helped Cao Shi up and whispered something in her ear.

"Ah."

Just as Madam Cao sat down, Shen Shu walked in carrying the medicine. Looking at his mother's pale face, he couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

But he did love Yan Li in his heart, and he didn't know how to face it, so he could only choose to run away.

"Mother, I've left the medicine here. I have to go now."

Shen Shu put down the medicine bowl, turned around and left quickly.

……

Liang Qiuli left Cao's place with the Dowager Consort.

The Dowager looked at her with heartache in her eyes, "Qiu Li, tell me, what are you thinking? Do you still want to marry Shu'er?"

The Dowager felt that the ambiguous relationship between Shen Shu and Yan Li was unfair to Qiu Li, and she felt guilty towards Qiu Li's grandmother, so she wanted to hear Liang Qiu Li's thoughts.

Liang Qiuli thought to herself that it was time to give the Dowager a heads-up that a relationship between her and Shen Shu was impossible.

"Your Highness, I...I...When he came to Jiangnan to pick me up, he took great care of me all the way. It would be impossible not to be moved."

So at that time, I thought that we would get married in the future and get along well. But... but I never expected that he and Miss Yanli would fall in love with each other.

So if possible, I'm willing to let them have their way.

As Liang Qiuli spoke, tears streamed down her face. Seeing this, the Dowager Consort held her hand with heartache and patted her gently. "Qiuli is such a kind and good girl," she said.

"Qiu Li, don't be too sad. There are plenty of good young men in the capital. You deserve better."

I'll talk to Prince Duan and suggest we postpone the marriage.

Before Liang Qiuli could speak, Prince Duan, who had been eavesdropping, quickly sent Qian Youqian out to deliver a message.

"Miss Liang, Prince Duan requests your presence."

A knowing glint flashed in Liang Qiuli's eyes; this person was probably eavesdropping again.

They were eavesdropping.

This time, contacting her seems to indicate a next step in the plan.

The Dowager Princess gently patted Liang Qiuli's hand, indicating that she should go ahead and that she would support her.

"You should also tell Prince Duan your thoughts. He is a good friend of your father and will consider your feelings."

Liang Qiuli nodded obediently.

But in my heart I thought, you think Prince Duan treats me like a junior, but he actually wants to treat me like a concubine.

Afterwards, Liang Qiuli did not follow the Dowager Consort to her residence, but instead followed Qian Youqian to the courtyard where Prince Duan's study was located.

When she entered, Prince Duan was already sitting in the study before her.

Moreover, he still maintained that calm and composed demeanor. After noticing Liang Qiuli's arrival, he showed no unusual reaction and did not look up at her.

Instead, he casually instructed the maid beside him, "Serve tea to Miss Liang."

"Your Highness, what brings you here?"
