The Rebirth of a Farm Girl from a Military Family and a Cannon Fodder Princess

Steward Su looked coldly at Shangguan Zhihua and said in a serious tone, "By the Princess's decree, Shangguan Zhihua's mother has spoken wildly, acted insubordinately, and harbored treacherous intentions. This is all the result of Shangguan Zhihua's indulgence. Shangguan Zhihua should be severely punished, but for the sake of her pregnancy, she will be spared this time."

At this point, Steward Su paused, glanced at Shangguan Zhihua, whose face was deathly pale, and continued to shout loudly, "Shangguan Zhihua is to be punished by not stepping out of the painting garden for three months, and her family is not allowed to visit the mansion for a year! The severe punishment will be waived for now, but if she violates the law again, she will be punished for all the crimes, and there will be no leniency!"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Zhihua broke out in a cold sweat.

Amidst her resentment and trepidation, she couldn't help but secretly rejoice: "Luckily, I'm pregnant. Otherwise, I would definitely be kicked out of the Prince's mansion this time! The Princess Consort and the Crown Prince's Consort are no pushovers; they've been looking for an opportunity to teach her a lesson for a long time!"

Mother, oh Mother, it's one thing if you can't help your daughter, but why do you have to hold her back?! What kind of mother are you? Is your vision so narrow, and your mouth so loose? You dare to say anything, aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me?

Shangguan Zhihua was utterly furious with her stepmother. Not only was she petty and selfish, but she was also rather foolish. If she had any sense at all, things wouldn't have escalated to this point!

It's best to distance yourself from your family in the future!

When Xiao Fan comes home tonight, will he blame her?

Sigh, I'll just have to figure out a recipe to atone for my sins!

As the sun set, Xiao Fan returned to the Prince's mansion, bathed in golden light. Hearing his mother's accusations, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, deeply regretting bringing this woman into the household. He truly hadn't imagined this woman would covet the position of principal wife; her ambition was quite something!

Honestly, even if she gave birth to a son, he would at most give her the position of a concubine, not even a secondary consort. Now it's too late for regrets; they already have a child. He can't just kick her out now, can he?

But doing this seems really unfair to my cousin. Sigh!

Xiao Fan opened the storeroom, took out several valuable hairpins, and went to Qian's residence. Qian was lying on the couch and, knowing he had entered, ignored him. Her eyes were red and swollen; it was clear she had been crying for a very long time.

Xiao Fan quickly lowered his stance and apologized to her, "Qin'er, it's my fault! I shouldn't have let Shangguan Zhihua into the family in the first place. It's all my fault, I apologize to you, okay?"

Madam Qian snorted coldly: "If you want my forgiveness, then kick her out of the manor!"

Xiao Fan's smile vanished instantly, and he said with difficulty, "But she's carrying my child. How can my child be left to wander outside?"

Qian's tears immediately fell, and she said angrily, "Since that's the case, then don't say anything and go keep your precious son company!"

They didn't give Xiao Fan any face at all.

Xiao Fan tried to appease her with a smile, but almost half an hour had passed and Qian was still relentless.

"Since that's the case, then I'm leaving!" Xiao Fan was also annoyed, so he simply said something very impatiently and left.

Madam Qian was dumbfounded, watching helplessly as he strode away. Overwhelmed with grief, she threw herself onto the quilt and burst into tears.

Even after walking a long distance, Xiao Fan could still hear her crying, which made him frown and feel a sense of disgust.

Cry, cry, cry! All she does is cry! She works herself to the bone outside, and when she gets home, she still keeps nagging! Where is the gentle, generous, and virtuous cousin she used to be?!
