"If you haven't finished cleaning up by the time the prince returns, it will be our fault as servants!"

Lin Chunhuan sighed deeply, raised his hands in surrender and stood up, but he couldn't take his eyes off the table.

She really cherishes these days when she can learn things. She absorbs them like a sponge, but still feels that time is not enough and wishes she could split the day into two halves.

But I still have to go when the prince chooses a concubine.

This was the big event she had been looking forward to for a long time, and besides... Lin Chunhuan lowered her head and touched her belly imperceptibly.

While changing clothes, Qiu Shuang uttered a puzzled "The people from the Imperial Household Department couldn't be so careless as to even get your measurements wrong. This wedding dress seems a bit tight."

"I just took your measurements half a month ago. You can't have gained weight again!"

Lin Chunhuan smiled and said, "It's okay, just wear it for now. It's only for one day anyway... But I think I've gained some weight recently."

"How can I make do with it!" Qiu Shuang blinked. "There's still some time. I'll loosen your waistline an inch so it won't be so uncomfortable."

"That's fine."

Lin Chunhuan took off his wedding clothes and leaned on the bed, watching Qiu Shuang threading the needle.

Such a peaceful life was something she had never dared to imagine before.

"My Lord!"

"My Lord, the princess is resting, you can't go in!"

"Get out of here! There's no place in the entire palace where this prince can't go!"

“…”

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. Lin Chunhuan lowered his arms, signaling Qiu Shuang not to worry and to mind her own business. However, the moment Xiao Jinan opened the door, he slapped him in the face. "Breaking into your parents' bedroom without permission, is this how a son should behave?"

Although he asked, there was no expression of doubt on Lin Chunhuan's face.

As for Xiao Jinan.

This man didn't react at all, or rather, he didn't expect Lin Chunhuan to dare to hit him. He stood there with his face covered, as if he didn't know what was going on.

By the time Xiao Jinan reacted, Lin Chunhuan had already waved her hands and was helped by Qiu Shuang to change into the wedding attire. Only her long black hair was still hanging in front of her chest, with a few strands of hair sticking to her face. She was beautiful, dignified and casual, and her eyes were so sharp that people dared not look directly at her.

"You'd better give me a reasonable reason, otherwise, as your mother, I have the right to punish you."

"Mother?" Xiao Jinan sneered, ignoring the slap marks on his face. He approached with a tough attitude, but his voice was very low when he spoke, "Lin Chunhuan, don't think I don't know that you have been reborn too, right?"

A murderous intent flashed in his eyes, Lin Chunhuan's breathing stagnated, and he stared at Xiao Jinan's eyes for a long time.

Only then did he realize that there was a madness and unwillingness in this man's eyes that he had never seen before, and he was completely different from what he was more than a month ago.

So...how could a scumbag like Xiao Jinan get a chance to start over?

Calming down his flustered emotions and pounding heart, Lin Chunhuan took a deep breath and said, "Qiushuang, go out and see if the prince has returned. I want to talk to the prince."

"But……"

"go!"

Qiu Shuang didn't have a chance to express her worries. As soon as Lin Chunhuan gave the order, the servants in the room bowed and left.

However, although they were nominally mother and son, they still had to be careful to avoid suspicion, so the door was wide open. People outside could see what the two were doing but could not hear their deliberately suppressed voices.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Jinan's smile widened as he watched the servants leave. He poked his swollen cheek with his tongue and asked, "Ah Huan, are you worried that my father will find out that you were married to me?"

"Indeed, if Father knew you were such a fickle woman, clinging to men even in death, Father would..."

Snap...

Another loud slap in the face. Lin Chunhuan's expression remained unchanged. Instead, he had the leisure to observe both cheeks.

Not bad, quite symmetrical.

"How could you forget again, my prince?" Lin Chunhuan slowly raised her eyes. "Now, I am your mother. It is not good to be rude to a child."

Xiao Jinan's eyes were red from the two slaps.

It didn't hurt that much, as Lin Chunhuan was a woman and didn't have that much strength. But the action wasn't very harmful, but it was extremely insulting, and it insulted her twice.

"Lin Chunhuan, you used to be just a bitch that I wouldn't even touch, you..."

Bang!

Now that's three insults.

"You, Lin..."

Lin Chunhuan raised his eyelids and looked Xiao Jinan up and down. "Isn't the slapping enough for you, Prince?"

An absolutely gentle smile bloomed on her lips. Lin Chunhuan turned around and sat in front of the dressing table, slowly combing her hair. She could tie her hair into a neat and smart bun without anyone's help. "No matter what you think of, at this moment, I am your mother. Don't dare to touch me."

"It's just disobeying your elders. If you don't believe me, why not try it?"

Xiao Jinan's face turned red. In fact, he had a lot of questions to ask, but he was furious when he saw Lin Chunhuan for the first time.

I couldn't speak properly either.

"Princess, Prince, the prince has arrived at the second gate."

"Ah Huan, look what I brought you back!"

As soon as Qiu Shuang finished speaking, the sound of Xiao Cen eagerly presenting his treasure could be heard outside the yard. Even if Xiao Cen calmed down and wanted to ask something, he would not have the chance.

"what are you doing here?"

Seeing Xiao Jinan, Xiao Cen paused, a look of dissatisfaction between his brows, "If you still want to plead for that woman, there's no need. You can get out with her."

"Father... Qingcheng is carrying my own child. Are you really that cruel?"

"You..." Xiao Cen was about to say something when he noticed the marks on Xiao Jinan's face, "What's wrong with your face?"

"I called him."

Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips and walked to the door, tears in her eyes, and there was fear in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Jinan. If it weren't for the obvious slap mark on Xiao Jinan's face.

I'm afraid some people would think that the person who was beaten was Lin Chunhuan.

Before Xiao Cen could ask, Lin Chunhuan had already thrown herself into his arms, "Your Highness, please don't leave Ah Huan alone in the mansion from now on. I'm really scared to be alone..."

As she spoke, Lin Chunhuan's tone became tearful.

Such fear made Xiao Cen hug her unconsciously. Although he didn't say anything, he inexplicably felt that Xiao Jinan must have done something he shouldn't have done.

Of course, Xiao Jinan himself also noticed it, and immediately explained in a panic, "No, I didn't do anything, Father! I didn't touch her at all!"

Xiao Cen was furious, "You still want to touch her!"
