Hearing this made Shen Wan's hands itch; she wanted to slap Shen Ying again and knock half a bucket of water out of her head.

Shen Wanqi's chest heaved as she sneered, "I want Master Biao's life? If he acts uprightly, who can do anything to him?!"

Shen Ying said angrily, "There are plenty of dishonest people in the world, why don't you see Prince Ling arresting them, but you keep targeting Master Biao? And the Yun family, just because Master Biao didn't do them any favors, they betrayed him like this. They are simply insidious villains. It's a wonder that the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion has always supported the Yun family. Is this how the Yun family repays the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion and Grandmother?!"

Shen Wan's fists clenched tightly beneath her sleeves. "Even Father doesn't dare say he's helped the Yun family in any way, so how dare you claim credit for it?!"

"Did Prince Ling only arrest Master Biao? The Meizhou earthquake wasn't orchestrated by Prince Ling. Was the backup of the Xizhou dam blueprints really Prince Jin's doing? Others can investigate and handle these matters, but Master Biao can't?!"

It would have been better if Shen Wan hadn't mentioned the blueprints for the Xizhou Dam. The moment she did, Shen Ying got even more furious. The Xizhou Dam had been giving Prince Jin a huge headache for so long, and he still hadn't recovered by now. And she still dared to bring it up.

If looks could kill, Shen Wan would have died on the spot from Shen Ying's fierce gaze.

Seeing Shen Wan's angry appearance, Fourth Madam was worried that she would be upset and would harm her baby, so she quickly advised, "Don't get angry and hurt yourself. The old lady also needs to rest. You should all say less."

Shen Ying raised her neck high, like a victorious peacock, "If she cared about her grandmother's life or death, she wouldn't keep doing things that make her grandmother angry."

Shen Wan's cold gaze swept across Shen Ying's face before turning to the old lady.

The old lady leaned against a large bolster embroidered with peonies, remaining silent throughout, letting Shen Ying whine and argue.

However, Shen Wan had long been used to the old lady's feigned deafness and dumbness when Shen Ying was not at a disadvantage.

The old lady will only speak in favor of Chen Ying.

If the old lady hadn't stood up to stop Shen Ying this time, she would have had no chance.

She thought that she could say whatever she wanted in front of the old lady without any scruples, right?

She will make Shen Ying pay the price for her reckless words!

Shen Wan looked at the old lady, her brows gradually furrowing, then she clutched her stomach...

Upon seeing this, the old lady's face changed drastically.

The next moment—

Shen Wan fainted.

Isn't it just faking illness?

Who doesn't know how?

Princess Huai'an was standing next to Shen Wan when Shen Wan fell towards her. She reacted quickly, catching Shen Wan just in time, and cried out, "Someone come here!"

"Summon the imperial physician!"

Shen Wan was caught off guard by the sudden dizziness, and the room instantly descended into chaos.

Princess Ling was the apple of the Marquis's eye. Even when the old lady fell ill, she was afraid that the Marquis would send her to the Buddhist hall to "rest quietly." Princess Ling was also the apple of Prince Ling's eye, and she was pregnant with the emperor's eldest grandson. Princess Jin made Princess Ling faint from anger. In the eyes of the maid, this was no different from causing a major disaster.

The old lady panicked too, "Quickly help her lie down."

Yinshuang's eyes were red. She couldn't tell whether her princess was really angry or faking it, because the old lady and the princess of Jin were really good at making people angry. She was almost angry to the point of fainting, let alone her pregnant princess.

Yinshuang said, "You've already angered the Princess Consort to the point of fainting. What's the point of keeping her here? This servant will take the Princess Consort back to the manor to see a doctor."

The old lady was convinced that Shen Wan was faking it. "She's already fainted. If she goes back without seeing the imperial physician and something else happens on the way, who can bear the responsibility?"

Yinshuang looked at Princess Huai'an and Fourth Madam and said, "I don't trust the imperial physicians in the palace. When the princess was pregnant, the imperial physicians kept it a secret. Who knows if they would take the opportunity to poison my princess?"

Everyone in the capital knew about Physician Jiang's affair, so how could the Marquis of Pingyang's residence not know?

Princess Huai'an quickly instructed her maid, "Send someone to the Ling Prince's residence immediately to inform the Prince that the Princess Consort has fainted, and tell him to bring Doctor Tao to the Marquis's residence as soon as possible."

Swish.

The old lady's face grew increasingly grim.

Shen Ying was almost in tears, pointing at Shen Wan and saying, "She was unharmed even after being attacked, how could she faint from just a few words from me? She must be faking it!"

The fourth wife scolded, "You've already made her faint with anger, and you still don't know how to reflect on your actions. You even said she was faking it. You can say that to Prince Ling and the Marquis when they arrive."

The Fourth Madam and Princess Huai'an wanted to help Shen Wan leave, but the Old Madam gave them a look, and several maids came over to stop them.

Chen Yu jumped out of the window and appeared, expressionless, and said, "Do you want me to kill someone?"

These words were too much for even the maids to handle, let alone the old lady and Shen Ying.

The maidservant shrank her neck and made way for them.

Watching Princess Huai'an and Fourth Madam help Shen Wan away, Shen Ying became anxious and looked at the old lady, saying, "Grandmother, she must have been faking fainting."

How could the old lady not know that Shen Wan was faking it?

No one in the Marquis's mansion was more experienced than her in feigning illness.

The old lady said, "Send someone to invite another doctor to the manor!"

Princess Huai'an and the Fourth Madam helped Shen Wan to Qinglan Garden, where she lived before her marriage. After entering the house, Shen Wan could no longer pretend to be faint. Pretending to be sick tests a person's acting skills, and pretending to be faint is even more so.

Seeing that Shen Wan had woken up, Princess Huai'an scolded her, "You scared me to death just now."

Shen Wan said, "I'm sorry to have made my sister-in-law worry."

Princess Huai'an said, "The old lady is too unreasonable. No wonder you were so angry that you pretended to faint to scare them."

After a pause, Princess Huai'an laughed again, "You scared the old lady so much that she recovered."

Shen Wan couldn't help but laugh.

Her feigned fainting was not just to scare the old lady and Shen Ying.

However, Shen Wan didn't explain further.

Since she was going to pretend to faint, she decided to make it look convincing. As Shen Wan lay on the bed, Yin Shuang took a powder puff and patted it on Shen Wan's face twice, instantly turning her rosy complexion into a sickly look.
