Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

The three maids looked at each other.

Chen Rong stared at Li Shuangwan's chopsticks eagerly, her heart beating violently.

Yizhu pursed her lips and smiled. She was also afraid that Chen Rong's first meal for the princess might not suit her taste, so she took a small bite of each dish. Although her cooking skills were not as good as those of the chefs in the palace, it was already quite good for a girl who grew up on a farm.

Li Shuangwan took a bite of the dish with chopsticks and squinted his eyes: "Mm, not bad, it tastes very good."

Chen Rong knelt down towards Li Shuangwan as if she had won some big prize: "Thank you, Princess."

In her previous life, she waited for Ling Heng to eat almost every night, but the time he actually ate with her was very few.

Now that I think about it, he was most likely with Tingning's biological mother.

Chun Ning's features are very similar to hers, especially her eyes, and Ling Heng is determined to use her child's blood to save Chun Ning.

This means Chun Ning is related to her by blood.

Her eyes looked like her father's.

In this case, this woman must be a member of the Li family.

My grandfather had a wife and a concubine. In addition to my grandmother, he had another concubine. The concubine gave birth to a son. After my grandmother passed away, the concubine was promoted to the legal wife, so her father only had one brother, my second uncle.

My second uncle has one legitimate son, one legitimate daughter, and one illegitimate daughter.

The concubine's daughter Li Shuangxi later paved the way for her second uncle's official career.

As for the eldest daughter Li Shuangmiao, she later became a woman in Ling Heng's backyard. However, when she looked at Chun Ning, her eyes were full of hatred. There were several times when she would have almost fallen into her hands if she had not been alert.

Therefore, Tingning could not possibly be her child.

After dinner, Li Shuangwan picked up the book and read quietly while half leaning on the couch.

Ling Heng returned home at this time.

"What are you looking at?"

"It's just a leisure book."

Ling Heng snatched the book from Li Shuangwan's hand and threw it a little further away: "Since it is just a leisure book, what's so interesting about it?"

Li Shuangwan just glanced at him indifferently.

"I met Mr. Zhu today. He looks younger than before." Ling Heng said with a smile as he went to the basin beside him to wash his hands.

Li Shuangwan picked up the book and continued to read it. He ignored her and just hummed lightly.

If it were in the previous life, Li Shuangwan would definitely walk over and take the initiative to help Ling Heng wash his hands. He would also bend his head and smile at him playfully, saying, "My grandfather loves me so much, Your Highness. If you are free tomorrow, I will take you to your Zhu Mansion to meet my grandfather, okay?"

She is hopelessly stupid.

"Let someone serve the meal." Ling Heng saw her lukewarm attitude. He had already mentioned Zhu Qizhen, but she didn't respond to him. He became angry and his voice became a little cold.

Ah!

"I have eaten. It's so late, Your Highness, haven't you eaten yet? I thought Your Highness had eaten in the palace. Why don't you go to the flower hall to eat?"

These words were like a whip that slapped Ling Heng hard in the face.

All his life, his father had never invited him to have a meal.

My mother didn't dare to keep him in the palace for long.

Not to mention, he had no chance to see his father today, and he only saw the old man Zhu Qizhen from afar.

Seeing that Li Shuangwan didn't seem to realize how hurtful these words were to him, and her pair of clear black and white eyes looked at him innocently, he felt annoyed again.

Since her father didn't like her, how could Li Shuangwan dare to ignore him?

He is a prince, and she dared to eat before her husband had even finished his meal. This is simply outrageous. The Li family is really vulgar.

Suddenly, he smiled gently and raised his voice deliberately: "It's okay, if you are hungry in the future, you can use it first."

But it depends on whether you have shame or not.

Ling Heng thought that Li Shuangwan would definitely say that she would wait for him to come back, but he didn't expect her to say that.

"Okay, I think so too. Your Highness is very busy with official duties and cannot eat on time. Sometimes he may have to attend social events. I have a delicate spleen and stomach and I really cannot go hungry. Since Your Highness has said so, the servants in this palace will not dare to gossip about it behind my back. Your Highness is really considerate."

Ling Heng just felt like he had punched cotton, and his heart was filled with a lump in his throat, unable to breathe out or swallow.

The words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and he flicked his sleeves and strode towards the flower hall.

Seeing the angry person striding out of Lexiaoyuan, Li Shuangwan felt much better.

Seeing Ling Heng coming out of Lexiaoyuan with a gloomy face, the shadow in the dark curled up the corners of his mouth.

Shu Wenbo looked at Ying and touched his shoulder: "Nine Brother, Prince Heng was driven out by Miss Li, why are you so happy?"

Ying gave him a cold look.

Shu Wenbo fell silent immediately. He had been thinking about these two things over the past few days, but still couldn't figure them out.

One is what Brother Jiu asked him and Liang Tianyou to do a few days ago. It was as if Brother Jiu knew that Uncle Ou and the others were looking for him, and Brother Jiu went up to them to let them find him.

Secondly, regarding this Princess Heng, oh no, she should be called Miss Li now, I wonder if Ninth Brother has any feelings for her.

How could that be possible? They had just come out of Linshan. Could this be what they call love at first sight?

Aren’t all loves at first sight just based on lust?

Is Brother Nine a pervert at heart?

Shu Wenbo shuddered.

Butler Wu followed behind Ling Heng and lowered his voice, "Your Highness, I have found the herbs that Imperial Doctor Huang mentioned. We happen to have them in our secret shop. Do you think we should send them over right away?"

Ling Heng looked up at the stars in the sky, rubbed his brows helplessly, and sighed: "I know, you can deliver it yourself."

When I thought of the woman in that remote courtyard, my heart sank.

He had just come back from there, and her health was getting worse and she was pregnant again. Huang Sheng said that only the blood from the newborn baby's heart, which was connected by blood, could save both mother and child.

Thinking of Li Shuangwan's indifference towards him just now, Ling Heng felt upset.

Li Shuangwan must get pregnant as soon as possible.

At this time, Si Po hurried over and whispered something in Ling Heng's ear.

Ling Heng frowned slightly: "Why is there a poisonous snake in the mansion? What about the two people that Li Shuangwan brought from the manor? What have they been doing all day today?"

"The maid named Chen Rong stayed in the small kitchen all day thinking about food. Chen Ping went to a gold shop called Xifulai. It seems that the princess asked him to make a gold hairpin."

"What kind of hairpin?"

"It's just the ordinary style, but the workmanship is more sophisticated."

Ling Heng snorted coldly.

Sipo continued, "Someone saw Madam Liu passing by the East Courtyard gate at around 2:55 pm. The princess returned home around 3:00 pm, and it was not until around 5:00 pm that Madam Liu asked the princess to find the imperial physician. The princess was in the study at that time, and when Roman found out, she immediately went to find the doctor."

"The doctor arrived around 15:00 on the evening of the twelfth hour, but by that time, the two maids had already been dead for 25 minutes. If Granny Liu had asked the princess to send for the doctor when she had just returned home, they would not have died."

Ling Heng gently stroked the jade ring on his hand: "Where is Granny Liu?"
