"What did you say"As soon as the words were uttered, another set of hurried footsteps echoed from outside. A middle-aged woman then strode in, surrounded by numerous attendants. Her face was grim, he...Bang!

The front door was kicked open from the outside with a loud bang.

A man swept to the bed like a gust of wind, roughly pulled the child from the bed and threw him to the ground. His voice was harsh: "Yun Zi Shu, you madwoman! Why did you push Xue Er into the lake You knew she was pregnant, yet you deliberately intended to kill her, didn't you You wicked woman, you are simply a poisoness!"

Yunzi Shu was thrown to the ground, her body racked with pain. She awoke from her daze, a roaring sound assaulting her ears, causing her head to pound in sympathy.

After struggling to open her eyes, Yun Zi Shu was met with Xiao Yun Heng's handsome and dashing face. She was startled and unconsciously fell into a daze.

Xiao Yunheng

How come he's not dead

"Yun Zi Shu, get up for me!" Xiao Yun Heng picked her up viciously and threw her back onto the bed, "Don't play dead!"

Yunzi Shu was caught off guard and stumbled, feeling dizzy for a while and unable to play.

"Are you still pretending to be dead" Xiao Yunheng's eyes were cold as ice, and he was about to slap him in the face, "If something happens to Xue'er, I swear I won't let you go—"

However, before the palm could strike, his wrist was suddenly seized in mid-air.

Yun Zi Shu opened her eyes, her gaze as cold as ice: "Xiao Yun Heng, are you going to rebel!"

Xiao Yunheng was taken aback, then his face darkened: "What did you say"

As soon as the words were uttered, another set of hurried footsteps echoed from outside. A middle-aged woman then strode in, surrounded by numerous attendants. Her face was grim, her voice laced with ice: "Where is that venomous woman, Yun Zi Shu"

Yun Zi Shu let go of Xiao Yun Heng's hand and silently sat up from the bed, raising her hand to rub her still somewhat groggy head.

“Yun Zi Shu!” The middle-aged woman burst into the room, pointing at Yun Zi Shu with fury, and demanded, “Where did Xue Er offend you You were so cruel to push her into the lake! Even if you are jealous of the child she’s carrying, you shouldn't have taken such a drastic measure! You even harmed an unborn child… Are you still human!”

Yun Zi Shu raised her eyes, her gaze cold and emotionless. There was not a single ripple in it.

"Don't think that just because you are a princess, you can run amok in the Xiao family and bully people!" The middle-aged woman continued her tirade, "The Xiao family doesn't take this kind of thing!"

Yunzi Shu let out a cold snort: "The Xiao family doesn't fall for this I ask, Madam Xiao, what set does the Xiao family eat Do you accept the ones of treason and insurrection"

Xiao Yunheng's face changed drastically: "Yun Zi Shu, what nonsense are you talking about! Shut up!"

“You…you are simply disrespectful and rebellious!” Madam Xiao’s face turned purple with anger, she couldn’t believe that Yun Zi Shu, who had always been quiet and reserved, would also learn to defy her, “Get up for me and kneel on the ground! Today I must use corporal punishment to teach you a lesson!”

Yun Zi Shu gave a cold smile: "Mrs. Xiao, you are truly bold. A mere commoner's wife dares to speak so presumptuously to the princess about propriety. If these words reach the palace, who knows what punishment the emperor would inflict upon the Xiao family"

"You... you... you..." Mrs. Xiao's face changed, looking at Yun Zi Shu as if she had seen a ghost, "You dare to scare me with the Emperor"

Yun Zi Shu took a deep breath, turned to look at Xiao Yun Heng, her eyes as cold and sharp as ice.

It's this man in front of you.

In my past life, I was deeply wronged and brought shame upon myself, losing the trust of friends and family. After death, not even a burial place could be found for me.

To my surprise, fate smiled upon me and allowed me to be reborn just two months after entering the Xiao family.

It felt like a long, drawn-out nightmare. Now that I'm awake, some things need to be put to rest.

"One is the wife of General Xiao, a respected figure, and the other is the legitimate son of General's Manor. Yet, they are both shouting like rude women right now. What is going on, He Tong" Yun Zishhu put on her shoes and smoothed down her clothes. "If there's something, just say it clearly. Those responsible should take responsibility, those who made mistakes should be punished. It's very fair."

Xiao Yunheng looked on in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock: "Yun Zishu, you—"

"Well, are you trying to shirk responsibility" Mrs. Xiao sneered coldly, "Since you've entered the Xiao family, don't put on airs like a princess anymore! As Yun Heng's wife, you haven't considered your husband and children, treated the house well, instead you have a narrow mind, harming innocent lives with cruel methods. Even if you go to the Emperor himself, you will face condemnation and scorn from all the ministers!"

"What crime is it to falsely accuse a princess, Mrs. Xiao Do you know" Yun Zijia spoke calmly, "Would this princess care to tell you"

Xiao's wife choked, then said coldly, "No one has accused you. So many servants saw with their own eyes that you pushed Xue'er into the lake!"

Yun Zi Shu looked at him coldly and said, "I'll ask you again, what crime is it to falsely accuse a princess"

Xiao Yunheng angrily spoke, "Yun Zi Shu, don't be too overbearing! Who allows you to speak to your mother like this"

"Unaware even at the brink of death," Yun Zi Shu smiled coldly, and walked towards the outside. "Leng Shuang."

The frost guarding outside walked in, “Princess.”

"You are to enter the palace immediately and summon the best imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau."

"Yes."

Xiao Yunheng's face changed: "Yunzi Shu, what do you want to do"

"I didn't do anything." Yun Zijia spoke calmly. "Didn't the Side Consort say that I pushed her into the lake, causing a miscarriage Let the Imperial Physician come and feel her pulse, see if she has indeed miscarried"

Xiao Yunheng gritted his teeth: "It's already bleeding, your sophistry is useless!"

Yun Zi Shu had a terrible headache and didn't feel like arguing with him. She ordered Leng Shuang, "Go quickly!"

"Yes!"

Leng Shuang strode out, but as soon as she reached the courtyard gate, she was stopped by the guards of the General's Mansion.

Leng Shuang's eyes turned cold, and she drew out a token from her sleeve: "I am Leng Shuang, the Shadow Guard of the Imperial Clan. Anyone who dares to obstruct me will be killed without mercy!"

The guards' faces changed, and they instinctively stepped back to create a path.

The imperial shadow guards are highly trained, elusive, and answer only to the emperor's command.

Anyone who dares to act against the Shadow Guard is deemed an insult to the imperial authority and deserves death.

Leng Shuang went out of the General's Mansion without any hindrance, heading straight for the palace.

"Shadow Guards" Xiao Yunheng stared at Yun ZiShu in disbelief. "How did you even get Shadow Guards"

He always thought Leng Shuang was just an ordinary servant. Besides being taciturn, she was no different from other servants.

Even if Yun Zishu was scolded, blamed, and reprimanded at the General's Mansion, Leng Shuang never spoke up. She never expected it to be the Shadow Guard after all.

"Cold Frost is a Shadow Guard, you are quite surprised" Yun Zi Shu mocked. "Don't you think this princess should be alone, marrying into the General's Mansion, allowing your Xiao family to bully her until death without being able to resist"

Xiao Yunheng's face instantly darkened: "Yun Zi Shu!"

"It seems we're about to start another round of his rant," Yun Zi Shu said, as she walked out with a relaxed stretch of her limbs. Her voice remained calm and collected. "Xiao Yun Heng, let's get a divorce."nse are you talking about! Shut up!"“You…you are simply disrespectful and rebellious!” Madam Xiao’s face turned purple with anger, she couldn’t believe that Yun Zi Shu, who had always been quiet and r...
