The eldest daughter's scheming, the crown prince's exclusive favor to the venomous concubi

After the last snowfall after the New Year, the footsteps of early spring arrived. In the time before that, Jian Yue's belly went from flat to bulging. Bai Jianan was busy preparing for the wedding, but because of the dissatisfaction of her maternal grandfather and uncle, the wedding could not be held quickly and had to be moved to the season of spring blossoms according to the wishes of the two elders.

During this time, Zhang Chaoyue stood out from Qilin Pavilion with amazing speed and endurance, came to Jian Yue's side, became a qualified bodyguard, and also successfully gained Bai Xiaowan's attention and entanglement.

In short, the whole village was in an uproar, with everyone saying that Bai Xiaowan had taken a fancy to the man's good looks and was planning to forcibly abduct him, but that was not the case.

Bai Xiaowan is very mischievous. Although she is young, she always likes to act like an old person. Because of Hua Xiangrong's special feelings for Jian Yue, she is very jealous. Therefore, she always hangs around Jian Yue and confronts Hua Xiangrong. In the end, they always end up fighting.

Although it won't lead to anyone's death, and Jian Yue won't be too frightened, she is, after all, pregnant. If something were to happen, it would be a loss for her.

Therefore, Zhang Chaoyue's first task was to stay by Jian Yue's side and try to drive Bai Xiaowan away.

This was the goal he set for himself, after all, he couldn't beat Hua Xiangrong.

This decision destined him and Bai Xiaowan to officially begin their love-hate relationship, which also led Bai Xiaowan to give up picking fights with Hua Xiangrong and instead chase after Zhang Chaoyue day and night.

It's a pity that Zhang Chaoyue, who has already passed the secret guard training, is very good at hiding. Many times, Bai Xiaowan can't find him. She can only make Zhang Chaoyue show himself by deliberately causing trouble at Jian Yue's place.

This went on for a while until Jian Yue could no longer tolerate it and finally executed Bai Xiaowan, ordering Zhang Chaoyue to forbid Bai Xiaowan from entering her courtyard from then on.

In this way, the fighting and killing only started at the gate of the courtyard, and finally no longer affected my rest.

Hua Xiangrong has always been with Jian Yue, and Shangguan Hanque has grown up there as well. Bai Jianan is inseparable from Jian Yue. Through their series of bickering interactions, the dull-witted Shangguan Hanque finally realizes that his sister has been taken advantage of and is pregnant with his child, which makes him feel terrible.

Then, as Jian Yue's belly swelled up like a balloon, everyone from the Shangguan family looked at Bai Jianan with the same expression. Bai Jianan silently endured it without showing the slightest dissatisfaction.

Nonsense! Who wouldn't be heartbroken to have their precious daughter snatched away like that? They had a lot of bad experiences back then, which made it even harder for the Shangguan family to accept.

But what's done is done, what can be done? All they can do is pretend they don't see it, secretly vowing to make things difficult for each other on the wedding day.

Bai Haitang didn't know what she said to Cheng Guyuan, but she managed to get Cheng Guyuan to agree to the marriage. Their wedding date was set even earlier than Jian Yue's, and now they are married and happily starting a family.

Seeing the people around her walking towards happiness one by one, Jian Yue was really happy, so she said to Hua Xiangrong, "Sister Hua, are you really not planning to marry my brother?"

Hua Xiangrong leaned back in her chaise lounge, idly flipping through a storybook, and said, "Get married? Why get married? Isn't this better?"

Jian Yue was helpless. Hua Xiangrong used to be very eager to get married. What did Lu Zhe do to Sister Hua? How did her personality change so much?

She asked, "Sister Hua, don't you like my brother?"

Hua Xiangrong paused, stood up, looked at Jian Yue, and suddenly asked, "What kind of feeling is this 'liking' you're talking about? Is it that I like you like this?"

Jian Yue shook her head: "No, liking someone is... how should I put it? But if you don't like my brother, why did you come back with him?"

Hua Xiangrong frowned and pondered for a long time before saying, "When I saw your brother back then, I felt that he was very familiar, a kind of familiarity etched in my heart, but I couldn't remember why. Anyway, in the end, he said he would bring me back, so I followed him without hesitation. Is this what love is?"

Her eyes held suspicion, and her gaze was still somewhat dazed. Jian Yue sighed, "What exactly happened to you, sister? Have you really lost these memories? I think you still remember them, but you've selectively forgotten them for some reason."

But sister, you need to understand that we are your family. Since you chose to come back, you should have already decided to continue being our family. So why do you still resist thinking about us now that things have come to this?

I don't know what Lu Zhe did to my sister. Actually, I feel very guilty. If I hadn't waited for my sister to leave with me, none of this would have happened. It's all my fault. I made you suffer so much, and you still don't remember your brother.

Sister Hua, could you please try to think about what the person who kidnapped you did to you? And my darling, did he cast the spell on him right in front of you?

Mentioning her darling, Hua Xiangrong's emotions finally changed. The veins in her arms throbbed, and it took her a while to calm down. However, the way she looked at Jian Yue had changed, filled with wariness and distance.

Seeing this, Jian Yue had no choice but to stop asking. She said, "Sister, you don't have to say if you don't want to, but you must not be hostile towards me. I don't want anything from you. I am who I am, Yueyue in your heart, nothing more."

The hostility in Hua Xiangrong's eyes gradually faded. Finally, she rubbed her temples, lay back down on the chaise longue, and stared blankly at the ceiling with her eyes wide open.

Jian Yue let her do as she pleased. She said these things today only to provoke Hua Xiangrong and try to find a way to help her regain her memory. However, it seemed to have little effect, and Hua Xiangrong did not buy it.

Just as he was thinking about what kind of stimulation to use next time, he heard Hua Xiangrong say, "That person's name is Lu Zhe, right?"

Jian Yue was taken aback, then nodded and said, "You mean the person who kidnapped you?"

Hua Xiangrong said, "Yes, although I've forgotten exactly how he captured me, I remember everything clearly after I woke up. Yueyue, you said I've forgotten a lot of things, but why?"

He didn't use any Gu worms on me, or even do anything to me. He just made me watch my baby being devoured by the worms little by little in front of me. I still can't forget that helplessness and anger.

Do you know how I felt when my baby used its last bit of strength to summon the nearby wolves? I wanted to die, I really wanted to die. I felt like no one had ever forced me to this extent.

But I couldn't die. I had to avenge my baby. I had to live. So, when the wolves came, I escaped safely, but I couldn't take my baby with me. My baby died smiling in my arms. At that time, apart from its internal organs and head, its body was completely bare, just bones! Heh.

Hua Xiangrong's eyes seemed to glow green, her whole body filled with sorrow and murderous intent that lingered for a long time. Perhaps subconsciously, she thought of the child in Jian Yue's belly. After the murderous intent erupted, it did not spread towards Jian Yue. It seemed to have its own scale, standing only around her.

Jian Yue also felt a pang of pain in her heart and said, "Baby is our best friend."

"No, she's not my friend, she's my family."

Jian Yue nodded and said, "Lu Zhe is dead. She can truly rest in peace now. So, sister, you still need to live your life. Don't let these things affect you, okay? Although my darling is dead, she left you a pack of wolf companions. You have to live well and take good care of these friends. That's how you repay your darling, isn't it?"

Hua Xiangrong smiled and said, "You're right, Yueyue. Tell me, was it a mistake for me to bring them here? Although Riliang Mountain is desolate, people often come and go. Just because the wolves don't harm those people doesn't mean they won't harm the wolves."

Jian Yue smiled: "If you are really worried, you can let them go back. After all, they are wild and not suitable to stay with people for a long time. If you restrain them, you will ruin their future."

Hua Xiangrong stood up, sighed, and said, "That's right, I've been thinking about this problem for the past few days. I feel like I would never have been so indecisive in the past, and it feels a bit awful."

Jian Yue chuckled and said, "Indeed, my older sister used to hate my indecisive personality the most, but I never imagined that my current older sister would be even worse than me."

Hua Xiangrong chuckled, finally dispelling the murderous intent that had gripped her. In that instant, something seemed to flash through her mind, and she froze, stunned.

Jian Yue was eating pastries when she noticed something was wrong with Hua Xiangrong. She stepped forward worriedly and asked, "Sister?"

"Shh!"

Hua Xiangrong made a gesture for silence and remained silent with her eyes closed. Jian Yue, not knowing what was going on, could only stand by and wait.

After an unknown amount of time, Hua Xiangrong suddenly burst into laughter. Her loud laughter startled Shangguan Hanque, who was outside venting his anger by fighting with Bai Jianan. He rushed in, asking, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Upon entering the room, he saw Hua Xiangrong laughing wildly, even pounding on the chaise lounge with loud noises. He immediately stepped forward with concern and asked, "Rong'er, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Jianan walked over to Jian Yue and pulled her back two steps, asking, "Are you alright?"

Jian Yue shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I just don't know what's wrong with my sister."

Just as everyone was wondering, Hua Xiangrong suddenly moved, grabbed Shangguan Hanque's collar, turned him around, and pressed him down onto the chaise lounge, leaning over him.

The moment his lips were sealed, Shangguan Hanque was stunned, but Jian Yue's eyes lit up with understanding, and she pulled Bai Jianan away from the room.

Inside the room, springtime light suddenly appeared, creating a delightful atmosphere.

Jian Yue's room was borrowed for one night, and Jian Yue had no choice but to move to Bai Jianan's place. Someone was so happy that his nose was crooked, and he smiled at Jian Yue in a serious manner.

Early the next morning, a heavy thud was heard from Jian Yue's room, followed by Hua Xiangrong's voice, which sparked many thoughts.

"Shangguan Hanque, is that all you've got? I haven't had my fill yet."
