If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

With the emperor's decree, there was almost no objection in the clan to moving the tablet of Old Aunt Li back to the Lu family ancestral hall.

Madam Lu pretended to be ill and refused to show up again.

But this does not affect the Duke's decision.

The tablet of Aunt Li was brought back within one day, and a ritual to pray for her soul to be reborn was planned to be held after the spring.

Old Madam Lu and the two ladies finally stopped targeting Shen Sui'an. They had another common enemy, Ruan.

Shen Sui'an spent the next few days relaxed and comfortable.

Fuqiu also brought her the latest news about Song Xiuzhi.

Song Xiuzhi ran away.

After she was sure that her fetus was fine, she quietly left the clinic, but she did not leave Shangjing. Instead, she hid in Qingju Temple.

"Song Xiuzhi announced to the public that she and her newlywed husband were robbed by bandits, and she got separated from her husband in the panic. The nun in Qingju Temple was kind-hearted and placed her in the backyard." Fuqiu said.

"You're really smart." Shen Sui'an said.

Who would have thought that Song Xiuzhi would hide in Qingju Temple? The people Lu Heng sent out to look for her might not find her so easily.

"Just bribe a nun to keep an eye on it secretly, you don't have to go and watch it anymore." Shen Suian said in a low voice.

Since Song Xiuzhi has survived, she doesn't need to pay attention to Song Xiuzhi anymore.

As long as she waits patiently for a few more months, Song Xiuzhi will give birth to the twins, a boy and a girl. That is what she is most looking forward to.

"Madam, the princess is here." Ban Jian walked in hurriedly, with a bit of panic on her face.

"Don't be afraid!" Shen Suian patted her hands.

Princess Guangning definitely didn't come to see her at this time to cause trouble.

Ningshuang and Fuqiu both came to Shen Sui'an.

Shen Sui'an stood up and walked out of the inner room. Princess Guangning was standing in the courtyard, looking at her Danbo Courtyard.

"Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess." Shen Suian smiled and bowed towards Guangning.

"Although you don't have as many precious flowers and plants as the first lady, they are more comfortable to look at." Guangning raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Sui'an.

Shen Sui'an said, "This is all thanks to the gardener."

Princess Guangning snorted noncommittally and walked into the hall. "You don't seem surprised at all that I came to see you."

"The princess and I now live together in the Duke's Mansion. You are a daughter of a wealthy family and my sister-in-law. There is nothing strange about you visiting me." Shen Sui'an said.

"Shen Sui'an, I used to think you were pretentious and pretending to be dignified, but in fact you were stupid and ignorant. Now I think I really underestimated you." Princess Guangning walked up the steps and stood in front of Shen Sui'an.

Of course Shen Suian knew that Guangning had never liked her.

"Princess, it's cold outside. How about we go inside for tea?" Shen Suian moved aside and invited her in.

She had no interest in standing in the courtyard and talking to Guangning.

Princess Guangning said as she walked into the hall, "Last time at the Yao family, it was this maid next to you who carried Lu Yan into the house for you."

Shen Sui'an was surprised, "Did the princess see it?"

"Don't treat me as a fool. The Yao family is my maternal family. Who would help you lead Lu Yan over? I want to know how you guessed what I was going to do." Guangning looked over coldly.

Her current situation all started from the Yao family’s birthday party.

It was from that time that she began to become unhappy, and it seemed that everything was against her.

"I don't know what the princess wants to do to me, but my half-sister and I have never gotten along since we were young. It is very abnormal for her, a person who has been under house arrest, to suddenly appear." Shen Sui'an said.

Guangning suddenly realized, "I said Lu Yan was stupid. She actually wanted to use your concubine sister to deal with you. She deserved your counterattack."

"Princess, do you just want to know the answer today?" Shen Sui'an asked in confusion.

She thought the answer was no longer important.

Guangning picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

She had already guessed the answer, but just wanted to confirm it from Shen Suian.

"Shen Sui'an, was it just because of Song Xiuzhi that you insisted on breaking off the engagement?" Guangning asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Shen Sui'an replied.

Princess Guangning's eyes were filled with confusion. "Why?"

She had met Shen Suian on many occasions, and could see the tenderness and admiration for Lu Heng in Shen Suian's eyes.

That was a look you would give to someone you loved deeply.

Many women in Shangjing City like Lu Heng, except Shen Suian.

She is Lu Heng's fiancée, and she can like him openly.

Guangning was jealous of her for a long time.

How could someone who likes Lu Heng so much just say she doesn't love him anymore and cancel the engagement so easily?

"Because...if I marry Lu Heng, I will have to endure his continued relationship with Song Xiuzhi. Maybe Song Xiuzhi will be his mistress. And what about you, Princess? You like Lu Heng so much. Are you going to make things difficult for me and find a chance to torture me after seeing him marry me?"

Guangning: “…”

Shen Suian was right, she had indeed thought about it.

"For Lu Heng, it's not worth it." Shen Sui'an thought about her life in her previous life. She really liked every day of her life now.

Guangning raised his eyebrows, "So you like Lu Yuan?"

"You're changing your mind so quickly?"

Shen Suian glanced at Guangning with a half-smile. He had been talking for so long, just to trick her into talking?

"Lu Yuan is my husband, he is handsome, of course I like him." Shen Suian said with a smile.

"It was you who deliberately revealed the news about Song Xiuzhi to me. You hate Song Xiuzhi so much, but it's obvious that you haven't let go of Lu Heng yet." Guangning snorted.

Shen Sui'an was slightly stunned, "I don't even know where Song Xiuzhi is, how can I reveal the news to His Highness?"

"How do you think I knew this? It was Qu Qingli who told me. Didn't you ask Qu Qingli to tell me?" Guangning asked.

It's just like daring to do something but not taking responsibility for it.

Shen Sui'an: "..."

She never thought that this matter was actually related to Qu Qingli.

"This matter has nothing to do with Qu Qingli." Shen Sui'an said immediately.

Guangning: "I had someone kill Song Xiuzhi, she's dead."

Shen Sui'an looked at Guangning in shock.

"Your Highness, why are you doing this? Song Xiuzhi has stopped having any contact with Lu Heng for a long time..."

"Why are you pretending to be innocent? You must be secretly happy that she died." Guangning shouted angrily.

"Yes, thanks to Your Highness for venting my anger. Seeing her pretending to be innocent with Lu Heng before, I felt sick for Your Highness." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.

Guangning stood up suddenly and said, "My mother wants to see you. Please come with me to the palace tomorrow."

It turns out that her horoscope is incompatible with Shen Sui'an's.

Not enough words to speculate.

Her mother actually wanted her to get along well with Shen Sui'an.

How to get along?

We couldn't get along for even a quarter of an hour.

Shen Sui'an was really surprised this time, "The Imperial Concubine wants to see me?"

"Yes, you are really capable." Guangning gritted his teeth.

Her mother would never take the initiative to ask for a foreign minister or concubine.

Shen Suian focused her attention slightly. She was secretly taking advantage of Guangning. Someone as powerful as Concubine Yao would definitely be able to see through it.

She didn't want to offend Concubine Yao, and even less did she want to be her enemy.

Guangning left in anger.
