The Crown Princess calculated with her fingers and the prince was terrified.

Shen Qinglan stepped off the carriage. Just like in her previous life, she was radiant and approachable at first glance, much more so than the seemingly gloomy, sullen, and ruthless Crown Prince Shen Shijing.

The token tied around his waist was the one the old man had mentioned, which was why Jiang Xian Yue in her previous life had mistaken him for someone else.

There was another reason why Jiang Xianyue would admit her mistake: Shen Qinglan was also surrounded by a faint purple aura, which was not part of his destiny or fortune, and it was very deceptive at first glance.

If she hadn't died once, her personality wouldn't have been so thoughtful.

As Jiang Xianyue was pondering, Shen Qinglan strode over and stood in front of her. Everyone behind him knelt down upon seeing this.

"Greetings, Second Prince."

Only Jiang Xianyue stood there, staring blankly at Shen Qinglan.

Jiang Yu tugged at Jiang Xianyue's clothes, signaling her to kneel down.

However, how could Jiang Xian Yue kneel down before the beautiful, gentle, reasonable, and destined person who had given her dowry in her previous life, and then cruelly kill her after squeezing out her last bit of value?

She clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh.

Now that she has lost her spiritual power, otherwise, just the fact that Shen Qinglan dared to dance in front of her would have been enough to give that scumbag Shen Qinglan a hard time.

Indeed, the weak are insignificant and pitiful, just like she is now.

"Xian Yue, the Second Prince has arrived. Aren't you going to pay your respects?"

Jiang Yu was sweating profusely, but Jiang Xian Yue's gaze remained fixed on Shen Qing Lan.

He's incredibly hypocritical. He knew about fate and had already planned to use her. That's why Shen Qinglan wouldn't have made a big fuss if she hadn't knelt down.

Thinking of this, he became even more emboldened.

"Please rise, Vice Minister Jiang."

Shen Qinglan spoke in a gentle voice, her feigned gentleness sending chills down one's spine.

"When my mother heard that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family had returned, she asked me to come and see her in person. After all, because of the Imperial Advisor's words, my father has high expectations for the eldest daughter of the Jiang family."

Miss Jiang, now we've gotten to know each other.

Shen Qinglan nodded, her tone gentle and polite.

Any girl who sees such a beautiful face for the first time is likely to fall into this gentle embrace.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xian Yue was not another girl. If it weren't for the entanglement of love, she would have thought in her previous life that Crown Prince Shen Shi Jing was more handsome than Shen Qing Lan.

However, the crown prince was ill, had a gloomy personality, and did not like to interact with people.

The man destined for her is far superior to this scumbag in front of her. Right now, she has no spiritual power, so she can't be too arrogant.

"Since you know him, then I will give the Second Prince a piece of advice."

"I come from Wanggushan and have some knowledge of metaphysics and physiognomy."

"Sister, who doesn't know that Wanggu Mountain is a rural place? You think you can learn metaphysics and numerology there? Aren't you just bluffing?"

You may not know this because you come from the countryside, but the Second Prince is a member of the royal family. How could he allow you to spout nonsense here?

This is something even the Imperial Advisor wouldn't dare to overstep.

"let it go!"

Jiang Xianyue shrugged, seemingly indifferent.

"Let's just say that even if it were you and me, we wouldn't have such a destiny."

People who come to me for fortune telling have to pay money!

"A conman!"

Jiang Ruyan muttered something under her breath, but then saw Jiang Xuanyue withdraw her gaze and decide to go back and conserve her energy.

She shoved aside Jiang Ruyan, who was blocking her way, and Jiang Ruyan, as soft as a board, fell directly into Shen Qinglan's arms.

Such a talented man and a beautiful woman meeting would normally lead to a tender and affectionate exchange, but Shen Qinglan snapped out of her reverie and called out to Jiang Xianyue.

"Miss Jiang, since we are destined to meet, I would like to hear the details!"

Jiang Xianyue frowned, sensing that Shen Qinglan was different now, displaying a recklessness she hadn't shown in her previous life.

Shen Qinglan is a very intelligent person who has always handled relationships with people of different backgrounds properly. In her previous life, when she had already decided on Shen Qinglan because of the butterfly pendant, their interactions were always based on mutual respect and affection. Shen Qinglan never interfered or acted rashly.

On the contrary, knowing his own background, he acted weakly at every turn, hoping to get Jiang Xianyue's help.

At this moment, Jiang Xianyue couldn't help but take a closer look at Shen Qinglan.

She has no spiritual power; she can only see with her eyes and cannot discern reality from illusion. If she wants to regain her original abilities, she will probably need to get closer to Shen Shijing.

Jiang Xian Yue discovered that only when she was near Shen Shi Jing did her spiritual power begin to recover. Otherwise, as an orphan in this desolate place, she would surely be devoured.

Even if we can't restore our magic power, it's good to bring Shen Shijing on as an ally.

Thinking it over, Jiang Xian Yue was unwilling to say more, and mysteriously said, "The Second Prince is surrounded by dark energy, he is probably going to have a lot of bad luck soon. What belongs to others may not be suitable for you."

Perhaps seizing someone else's destiny will backfire!

After saying that, Jiang Xianyue left.

Jiang Xianyue only suspected that Shen Qinglan had hired someone to harm Shen Shijing.

She needs time to think everything through carefully.

"Jiang Xianyue, you are outrageous!"

Upon hearing Jiang Xuan Yue's words, Jiang Yu's expression changed, and he immediately reprimanded her.

Shen Qinglan reached out to stop Jiang Yu, and said to Jiang Xuanyue's back, "Since Miss Jiang has such abilities, why don't we find a time for me to ask about the solution?"

Jiang Xianyue paused for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

In her past life, she never revealed that she knew anything about metaphysics. In this life, having lost her spiritual power, her actions are too risky.

Jiang Xianyue didn't want to say anything more to Shen Qinglan.

"Second Prince, I have only read two books on metaphysics, and I do not know how to decipher them."

Besides, a sensitive incident just occurred in the household, and I... am afraid.

The old woman and the servants died and were brought to the door. This has a bad influence on the Jiang family. If it is not handled properly, they will be held accountable.

Jiang Xianyue was just using this incident to tell these people to stop bothering her and give her time to recover and rest.

Shen Qinglan, this premature meeting is very likely a warning from me about delivering the corpse. It has affected everyone's original fate and touched on cause and effect, so things were bound to change.

However, she was colder and more aloof than in her previous life, yet Shen Qinglan still seemed to have found her by fate, deliberately setting up topics to meet her. Could it be that in her previous life he came for her and was prepared in advance, rather than her accidentally admitting her mistake?

Or is there some other reason?

Looking at the gaze that was fixed on her, Jiang Xianyue couldn't help but feel a chill.

Having learned about Shen Shijing's leaking purple aura and Shen Qinglan's current abnormalities, I must find some time to investigate further.

However, she has lost her spiritual power, and can only temporarily regain it when she is by Shen Shijing's side. If she wants to find out more, she needs to find Shen Shijing first.

Her wounds throbbed with pain, and she was utterly exhausted. She was terrified that she would collapse here again.

"Second Prince, my sister has just returned from the estate. She may not be familiar with the rules and is unaware of the majesty of the royal family. Please forgive her!"

Jiang Ruyan's voice was as clear as a silver bell, and it was especially pleasant to hear at this moment.

Shen Qinglan's gaze fell on Jiang Ruyan. Jiang Xianyue wanted to leave, but she inadvertently noticed that their eyes met for a moment, and they understood each other and looked away.

Then, Shen Qinglan said in a particularly "genuine" manner: "Miss Jiang has a straightforward personality, so it's not a problem."

Now that I, Your Highness, have observed that Miss Jiang can speak of metaphysics and numerology with such boldness, there is no need for modesty.

"Your Highness has always valued talent and believes that capable people, regardless of gender, deserve respect."

It seems that Shen Qinglan has her eye on me.
