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

Lu Heng stood in front of the burnt ship, and the onlookers were talking about it.

"Fortunately this one is far away, otherwise the whole row of pleasure boats would have been burned."

"There seems to be a young lady selling wine inside. Oh my God, it's so pitiful."

Liu Mo approached Lu Heng and said, "Master, our people have searched the surrounding area and didn't find Miss Song. She may have been rescued."

Lu Heng seemed to have a fire that he had suppressed for a long time, and now he was about to burst out uncontrollably.

He liked Song Xiuzhi, and she always looked at him with eyes full of admiration, as if he was everything to her.

At first, he just felt sorry for her difficult life and couldn't bear to see her being forced to marry.

Later... Shen Sui'an's aggressiveness made him feel that Song Xiuzhi's gentleness and obedience were rare.

He could only get rid of the depression and disgust of being with Princess Guangning by being with Song Xiuzhi.

The princess couldn't even tolerate this weak woman who posed no threat to her at all.

"What a pity! The woman had just gotten pregnant, and now there are three dead. What a pity." Suddenly, someone sighed.

Lu Heng was shocked. He turned his head and looked at the old man who was talking next to him. "What did you just say? The woman in the painting boat is pregnant?"

"Yes, she came to see me yesterday. I even prescribed her medicine to keep her pregnant. It's a pity that she is pregnant with twins."

Song Xiuzhi is pregnant with his child!

Lu Heng's eyes were red and his expression was ferocious. He was filled with resentment and turned around and strode away.

Liu Mo hurriedly followed, "Master, Master, where are you going?"

"Send more people and follow the route downstream. We must find her, alive or dead." Lu Heng said coldly.

Lu Heng rode back to the princess's mansion. Ziyin and others were relieved to see him come back. The princess had been angry for a long time, and if the prince consort didn't come back, all the servants in the princess's mansion would be beaten.

"Prince Consort, you're back." Ziyin was about to go forward to greet him.

Seeing Lu Heng's sinister and terrifying expression, she was horrified and quickly reached out to stop him, "Prince Consort, the princess is in a bad mood today, please..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Heng pushed him away.

He strode into the inner room, glaring at Guangning with eyes wide open.

"Did you kill Song Xiuzhi?" Lu Heng's voice was cold and angry. If the vicious woman in front of him was not a princess, he would have thrown a divorce letter in her face long ago.

Guangning slowly stood up with the help of the maid. She looked at Lu Heng in disbelief, "Prince consort, are you going to blame me for a lowly woman?"

"She is not humble in my heart. It is you, the princess, who is full of calculations and stupidity. You have ruined Sister Yan'er's reputation. If you were not a princess, do you think you could still sit here safely?"

"Song Xiuzhi did nothing wrong. I just felt sorry for her. She has already hidden on the boat. You are a princess high above. How can she get in your way?"

Hearing Lu Heng's questioning, Guangning's eyes twitched with anger.

"Her biggest mistake is that she seduced you. No other woman can dare to touch my husband." Guangning shouted.

Lu Heng was furious. "So you want her to die? Just because you are a princess doesn't mean you can ignore the law and kill someone for his life. Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the emperor?"

Guangning's eyes widened. "What did you say? Lu Heng, in your heart, am I not even as good as that bitch?"

"Do you think I want to be your consort? If the emperor hadn't granted the marriage, I wouldn't even look at a woman as vicious as you." Lu Heng said coldly.

"Lu Heng!" Tears welled up in Guangning's eyes. Lu Heng's words were like sharp swords, piercing her body.

The first time she saw Lu Heng was when he was selected as the top scholar. She wanted him to be her husband since then.

If he hadn't been engaged and his father hadn't been willing to grant the marriage, why would she have waited so long?

She thought they were in tune with each other. If he didn't like Shen Suian, then he must like her.

Shen Suian can't compare to her in any way.

"I've been so good to you, but you only have that bitch in your heart. If I had known this would happen, I should have spared her life. I would have cut off her flesh piece by piece with my own hands, leaving her wishing for life but unable to live, and wishing for death but unable to die!" Guangning shouted at Lu Heng.

"I'm telling you, Lu Heng, you'd better be devoted to me from now on. If you keep a mistress or a concubine, I will kill them. In this life, you can only listen to me and love me, and you must not betray me!"

Lu Heng sneered: "Then Princess, go find another consort. I don't want to be this consort anymore."

"You dare! Do you want to disobey the order?" Guangning shouted.

"I will go to the palace now and ask the emperor to order a divorce between you and me. It is better to live alone for the rest of my life than to live with a vicious woman like you." Lu Heng turned away.

Guangning stamped her feet in anger, pulling the wound on her buttock, causing her to burst into tears in pain.

"Prepare the horses, I want to go to the palace, I want to go to the palace and ask my mother to make the decision for me!"

……

……

Although Shen Sui'an couldn't find out about the quarrel in the princess's mansion.

However, based on what Fuqiu reported, she could more or less guess how fierce the quarrel between Lu Heng and Guangning would be.

Otherwise, why would Lu Heng go to the palace in such a threatening manner? Not long after, Guangning also entered the palace.

This young couple is going to make trouble in front of the Emperor and Concubine Yao.

"Madam, the Duke went out in a hurry. Did he know about the quarrel between the princess and the prince consort?" Ban Jian, who had just returned from inquiring about the news, said excitedly.

Shen Sui'an: "He probably wants to stop Lu Heng from entering the palace."

The princess's mansion is closer to the imperial palace, so Lord Lu might be too late.

"Don't show up in front of Song Xiuzhi. Let strangers stare at her." Shen Sui'an said to Fuqiu.

Fuqiu responded, "Madam, how do we place her? Should we send her to the Duke's Mansion?"

"No, it's too early. Let's wait a few more days and let her recover first." Shen Sui'an said.

Now that he has been sent back to the Duke's Mansion, even if Song Xiuzhi could keep the child, at most she would only be able to get rid of the mother and keep the child.

However, based on her understanding of Song Xiuzhi, she is not someone who would sit still and wait for death. She will definitely find a way to give birth to the child first and then come to find Lu Heng.

Wasn’t this what Song Xiuzhi was like in her previous life?

Shen Sui'an felt that there was something evil about Song Xiuzhi, and she seemed to always have good luck.

I don’t know how she can change her fate this time, and how she can be taken back to the Lu family by Lu Heng in such a grand manner.

"Go and prepare the carriage." Shen Sui'an was in a good mood, but he didn't want to waste more attention on Song Xiuzhi.

The courtyard that Shi Qing bought for Madam Deng was located in Jinyu Lane. The courtyard with two entrances was not big, but it was just right for their family of three.

If it's too big, it will attract attention.

"Zhuzhu's illness has improved and she can get up and play today." Shi Qing said in a low voice.

"That's good." Shen Sui'an sighed.

Guan Hai's mother was so cruel that she married her daughter to a widower to pay off the debt and treated Guan Hai's only daughter coldly. I wonder if Guan Hai would feel heartbroken if he knew about this.

"Young Mistress, here we are."
