The fourth princess was completely bewildered. She was just feeling sorry for her younger sister who was being controlled by her husband, so why was the younger sister looking at her with such sympathy?

What's there to pity about her? She's living a very good life. As the crown princess of a country, she has countless beauties waiting for her.

She's living a very comfortable life.

The New Year's Eve dinner passed with everyone having different thoughts.

But as soon as Wei Wangqing returned to the manor, he heard that Wang Fengyue's maid had miscarried.

I heard that she was pushed by another servant when she was going down the steps outside the palace gate.

That young servant was Chen Zhishao, the illegitimate son of the Chen family.

Wei Wangqing frowned. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with her, but after all, it involved the Chen family.

Wei Wangqing looked at Chen Zhiyan.

"It's alright. After all, he's already married. A married man follows his wife's wishes, so it doesn't have much to do with the Chen family." Besides, he's already married to his wife, so it won't have much of an impact.

"My lady, please don't worry. Just don't let it affect your mood."

Yes, they're staying up all night to celebrate the New Year.

"Um."

The atmosphere here is just right, but the Prince's mansion is in turmoil and bloodshed.

Lianqiao was carried into a sedan chair and returned to the mansion.

The Fifth Prince watched coldly from the sidelines. How could he miss out on such a good show?

He wants his enemies to suffer!

When Wang Fengyue heard the doctor say that the child was gone, he finally couldn't suppress his anger and slapped Chen Zhishao.

Chen Zhishao looked up at Wang Fengyue in disbelief: "You actually hit me?"

No matter what, she was someone he once loved, his wife!

Wang Fengyue felt a pang of pity looking at his expression, but when he thought of the child who had already died, he hardened his heart again.

Wang Jun, standing to the side, sneered, "So what if I hit you? Hitting you is too lenient; I should divorce you."

He had long seen that this man was not a peaceful person at all. Last year, he had ruined his daughter's reputation at the New Year's Eve banquet. This time, he had gone even further and actually caused the death of his granddaughter, whom he had never met.

This is truly intolerable.

"Yue'er, you were blinded by this poisonous husband back then. It's not too late to repent now. Why don't you divorce him quickly?"

When Wang Fengyue heard that he was to be divorced, he couldn't bear to do it.

"My lady, I didn't do it, it really wasn't me!" Chen Zhishao cried out in anguish.

Wang Fengyue wavered again when he saw Chen Zhishao's certainty, and her pitiful appearance was truly heartbreaking!

"If it wasn't you, then who could it be? You were the only one by Lian Qiao's side at the time. Yue'er, don't listen to his excuses." Seeing that his daughter had been misled by him again, Wang Jun was furious.

Lian Qiao listened to all this with a secret resentment in his heart. He couldn't let all his hard work go to waste.

Then she slowly woke up, "My lady, my lady?"

Lianqiao pretended to be still somewhat delirious.

Wang Fengyue quickly came over, took his hand gently, and said, "I'm here, I'm right beside you."

The Fifth Prince watched this scene with a cold laugh. What a sentimental person he was!

Lian Qiao gripped Wang Fengyue's hand tightly, as if clutching a last straw. "Where is my child, my wife? Tell me, is my child still alive?"

It's truly heartbreaking.

Wang Fengyue felt the chilling force and dared not tell Lian Qiao the truth, fearing that he would not be able to withstand it.

"The child is gone." Wang Fengyue could only say in his final moments, there was no way to hide it.

"No, no, that's impossible. I was standing very steadily at the time..."

"No!" Lian Qiao cried out in anguish, covering her head with her hand, and burst into tears.

Seeing this, Wang Fengyue's heart turned to Lianqiao again.

"You can have more children, don't be sad," Wang Fengyue comforted her.

Seeing that Lian Qiao had no reaction at all, and thinking about the meaning behind his words, she hardened her heart and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you and our child an explanation."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Zhishao.

Chen Zhishao felt her heart turn cold and could only stammer, "It really wasn't me."

"If it wasn't you, who else could it be? Could it be Lian Qiao herself?" Wang Fengyue was somewhat disappointed as he looked at Chen Zhishao's unrepentant attitude. How could he have become like this?

"Would you believe me if I said it was you?" Chen Zhishao asked, looking directly at Wang Fengyue.

"He rolled down the stairs himself and then framed me, do you believe that?" Chen Zhishao still held a sliver of hope in her heart.

Lian Qiao was shocked and cried out, "You killed my child, wasn't that enough? Why do you have to frame me like this? Why? What did I do wrong? You can come at me, why did you have to hurt my child?"

Wang Fengyue was initially suspicious, but looking at Lian Qiao, he didn't think she could bring herself to harm her own child. Even tigers don't eat their cubs!

Wang Fengyue could only shake his head and say, "You have disappointed me greatly."

"Not only did you harm my child, but you also refused to repent and even tried to frame Lianqiao. However, for the sake of our marriage, I will not divorce you."

"Guards! Throw Chen Zhishao into the family temple and never let him step out of it again."

Chen Zhishao laughed heartily as she looked at Wang Fengyue's tone, which seemed to be one of pity and charity.

"It's my fault, I blame myself for misjudging people! Haha, Wang Fengyue, I curse you! I curse you to never have any more children! Hahahaha!"

"Madman, madman, hurry up and drag him away!" Wang Jun said hastily.

He finished by spitting out a curse: "Bad luck."

Wang Fengyue was also incredulous. How could her gentle and lovely younger brother Shao have turned into this?

Was all that pretense before?

Wang Fengyue was greatly affected.

The Fifth Prince left satisfied after watching the farce; it seemed he could get a good night's sleep.

Seeing that they were not happy, he felt relieved.

Lianqiao was left secretly pleased; having eliminated his greatest rival, he could finally rest easy.

If she gets pregnant through this incident, wouldn't he gain status as a father because of his child?

That's right, he wasn't pregnant at all.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be willing to use his precious child to scheme against him.

The Prince's mansion's New Year's Eve was a complete mess.

Meanwhile, at the Sixth Princess's residence, Wei Wangqing and Chen Zhiyan were all lovey-dovey. When they were keeping watch, Chen Zhiyan even cooked a bowl of noodles, which they shared.

Until the very moment arrived, it was as if time itself had stopped.

"Happy New Year," Wei Wangqing said with a smile.

"Happy New Year," Chen Zhiyan replied with a smile, knowing he would spend every year with her from now on.

The two fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next day, when the Chen family received the news, Lord Chen showed little expression, at most expressing a sigh of regret.

It's her son's own fault for bringing this upon himself; he chose this path, so who else can he blame?

But Lord Kelan didn't think that way. His only son had been sent to the family temple. What was he going to do?

He had initially held onto a sliver of hope, thinking, "What if... what if his son is promising and can win his wife's favor?"

What does it matter if there are servants? Aren't there plenty of families where servants are favored?

That favored servant lived a much more comfortable life than his master.

But now, his beautiful dream has been shattered.

Thinking about it, he decided to go to the Wang family to settle accounts and demand that they return his son to him!
