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

Hua Xiangrong shrugged and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, your brother had his tubal ligation done when I was pregnant with his beloved woman. That means that apart from the child in my belly, your family will never have another grandchild."

As Hua Xiangrong spoke, she suddenly leaned against Shangguan Hanque without even flinching, and said, "Oh dear, husband, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach."

Shangguan Hanque caught her as she fell towards him, and then asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a miscarriage? This place is no place for a human to stay, let's go."

"Wait a minute."

As Shan Guan Han Que helped Hua Xiang Rong to leave, You Min's heart stopped hurting and her head stopped spinning. She stood up abruptly and said, "Where are we going? What if we really hurt the baby? If we walk around like this, it will be bad for both of us. Quickly help her upstairs to rest and call the family doctor to come and take a look."

Hua Xiangrong smiled slyly and winked at Shangguan Zhi upstairs. The newly appointed father-in-law immediately understood and returned to his study to call the family doctor without saying a word. Meanwhile, downstairs, You Min was still testing the waters. She didn't dare to believe Hua Xiangrong's words, but she also didn't dare to ignore them. If it was really as Hua Xiangrong said, that Shangguan Hanque had undergone tubal ligation and that Hua Xiangrong had miscarried, then she really wouldn't be able to hold her grandson.

Shangguan Hanque frowned, seemingly not intending to stay, but Hua Xiangrong grabbed his arm. He hesitated and looked at Hua Xiangrong, only to see her throw herself into his arms: "Ouch, it seems to hurt again, husband, I'm afraid I really can't walk. You should carry me upstairs, after all, this family doctor is both safe and convenient."

Shangguan Mingzhu was initially smug, thinking that Hua Xiangrong had something to hide and dared not stay. However, seeing that Hua Xiangrong wanted to stay, her conviction was shaken.

Shangguan Hanque glanced at You Min, then at Hua Xiangrong, who was "very uncomfortable" in his arms, and said, "Let me stay, but what about her?"

With a glance at the outsider, You Min, whose eyes were only on her unborn grandson, naturally disregarded everything else and said directly, "Someone, steward, escort Miss Xiao away. I have many family matters to attend to today and cannot receive guests."

The woman immediately expressed her displeasure, biting her lip as she said, "Auntie."

You Min said firmly, "Ya Xun, it was my fault today, but after all, this is my bloodline from the Shangguan family. If something really happens, I will be sorry to the Shangguan family. Please leave first today, and I will contact you after I have dealt with my family matters."

Seeing that she still had a chance, Xiao Yaxun reluctantly left, turning back every few steps.

Hua Xiangrong, however, looked at her with a contemptuous smile through Shangguan Hanque's shoulder, which made her so angry that she stomped her heels twice.

Shangguan Hanque carried Hua Xiangrong upstairs, and You Min then called the family doctor. The examination results were naturally within Hua Xiangrong's expectations, and she immediately gave Shangguan Hanque a thumbs up in her heart.

My biological father, my complete biological father.

Upon receiving the news that Shangguan Hanque had indeed undergone tubal ligation, You Min instantly transformed into a bound-foot old lady, her heart completely devoted to Hua Xiangrong, feeling both hatred and reverence for her.

Shangguan Mingzhu was furious and smashed a pair of mutton-fat jade vases that Shangguan Zhi had collected downstairs, which angered Shangguan Zhi so much that he immediately asked her to leave.

At this point, things had gotten a bit out of hand. The family doctor knew what was going on with this family. He was a veteran under Shangguan Zhi and naturally knew what to do. When he spoke, he even described Hua Xiangrong's symptoms as very serious, which scared You Min so much that she stopped making the creaking sound that she was making while clenching her back teeth.

My grandson! This is my only grandson from now on, I have to protect him no matter what.

Seeing that You Min had calmed down, Shangguan Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. Hua Xiangrong lay on the bed eating the peelless apples that Shangguan Hanque had presented as tribute. Shangguan Zhi sat on the leather sofa to the side and sighed, "It's been a long time since she's been this calm. She's been like this ever since Mingzhu got married."

Hua Xiangrong sighed, "It's all because of your daughter's meddling. I think that your daughter only cares about your money; she doesn't care about you two at all."

Shangguan Zhi nodded, his eyes filled with helplessness and heartache.

“Mingzhu was spoiled since childhood, and then she met her current man. From dating to marriage, she made all the decisions herself. Who knew that after marriage, her husband would instigate her like this? Now she has reached this point, which is also my dereliction of duty. I failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a father.”

Shangguan Hanque raised his eyes and said coolly, "If you've gone astray, you've gone astray. It's no one's fault but your own greed and lack of ambition. If you want to take responsibility, you'd better see what you do next!"

Shangguan Zhi was once lectured by his son and felt a little embarrassed, but he still asked in confusion, "What do you mean, 'what should we do'?"

Shangguan Hanque glanced silently at Hua Xiangrong's belly. Hua Xiangrong burst into laughter. Shangguan Hanque said helplessly, "Still laughing? How are you going to get her pregnant later?"

Hua Xiangrong said jokingly, "Isn't that simple? We can just work together to turn the lie into the truth. As for tubal ligation, if I say you've had it done, then you have. Even if you have an illegitimate child later, I can make her a complete stranger to you."

Shangguan Hanque silently turned his head and looked at Shangguan Zhi, who was watching with great interest, and said, "You're not young anymore, and you still like watching people talk about love? Old man, shouldn't you go out and find a second spring?"

Shangguan Zhi immediately straightened up, frowned, and scolded, "Nonsense! What kind of second spring are you looking for? No matter how bad your mother is, she's still your mother. How dare you encourage your father to cheat on you? What kind of son are you?"

Shangguan Hanque snorted coldly: "But you're not a father who conspired with your daughter-in-law to make things up. Shouldn't we say you're still a child at heart?"

Shangguan Zhi immediately laughed and said, "What's wrong? You're jealous because we two get along so well, aren't you? You arrogant brat, I knew what kind of person you were. Alright, alright, you just don't want your dad to disturb your time together, okay? I'll leave, I'll leave, alright!"

Shangguan Zhi chuckled, patted his behind, and left. Only then did Shangguan Hanque look at Hua Xiangrong with satisfaction. Hua Xiangrong was already close to his nose, smiling as she asked, "Are you angry?"

Shangguan Hanque shook his head, got up and walked to the door. Just when Hua Xiangrong thought he was going to leave, he suddenly closed the door and locked it. Before Hua Xiangrong's doubts could be dispelled, she saw Shangguan Hanque pull back the covers and pin her down, panting heavily as he said, "Didn't you say you were going to try to create something? How can you allow outsiders to be here?"

Hua Xiangrong blinked, and said uncertainly, "Are you sure it's now? Your father and mother are still outside."

"So what? If you come back to cause trouble, I'll take you and never come back to this house again, so she'll never see her grandson in her life."

A smile flashed in Hua Xiangrong's eyes as she said, "When did you become so wicked?"

Shangguan Hanque immediately felt wronged: "I have to be bad. I've only had my wife for a little over half a month. I can't let anyone bully her. I'd be heartbroken."

In his previous life, in Shangguan Hanque's world, besides Hua Xiangrong, there was also his father, maternal grandfather, and his cousin Shangguan Jianyue, whom he had lost and then found again.

But here, he only has Hua Xiangrong. His heart is completely devoted to Hua Xiangrong. To him, Hua Xiangrong is his life. For Hua Xiangrong, he is willing to do anything, even be an enemy of the whole world.

Therefore, he would not allow his beloved woman to be bullied or wronged by anyone, not even her parents or sisters in this world.

Seeing his serious expression, Hua Xiangrong blinked, hooked her arms around his neck, and smiled mischievously.

"Since that's the case, why don't you hurry up? Or have I drained you dry these past few days?"

A flame suddenly ignited in Shangguan Hanque's eyes, and in the next moment, it enveloped Hua Xiangrong and burned her to ashes.

That night, no one dared to disturb the young couple, especially after Hua Xiangrong's pregnancy was threatened.

You Min's heart was pounding like it was carrying twenty buckets. She kept thinking about going to Shangguan Hanque's room to see how Hua Xiangrong was doing, but she didn't dare to knock on the door. Shangguan Zhi had said not to disturb her, otherwise if something really happened, no one could take responsibility.

Shangguan Mingzhu became even angrier at You Min's behavior and said unhappily, "Mom, how could you believe that little vixen? Look at her arrogant attitude, how can she be like this when she's pregnant?"

You Min immediately glared at her, saying, "Stop talking about this! Do you really think the doctor's words are just empty talk? He's been in our family for almost twenty years, how could he possibly lie to me on behalf of someone else?"

Shangguan Mingzhu sneered, "What if Han Que colluded with the doctor? Or what if Dad colluded with him? Who knows if it's true or not? They're all in cahoots now."

You Min frowned, clearly displeased with what Shang Gua Mingzhu had said.

“Your father wasn’t there at the time, so he had no idea what we were talking about. How could he have colluded with the doctor? Han Que was standing right here. It was an emergency, and he didn’t even have his phone with him. How could he have colluded? Besides, I know the doctor’s character. I believe he’s right. Who would joke about something like having offspring?”

Mingzhu, I know what you're really thinking. After all, you came from my womb. I doted on you because you're my daughter. But now that you're married, you've taken your dowry and married another man. You're no longer a member of the Shangguan family.

Everything in this house belongs to Han Que; it was all arranged by your father long ago. From now on, settle down, go back home and live a proper life. Don't always stay at your parents' house and make yourself a laughingstock. And stop being so childish with your words. Your sister-in-law seems strong, but if you continue like this and anger her, I won't be able to take care of you.”

You Min's words stunned Shangguan Mingzhu. She never expected her mother to switch sides so suddenly. She immediately stood up and said angrily, "How can you turn your back on me so easily? I'm your daughter. You're talking about me for that vixen? And you want to kick me out?"
