The life swap begins with Consort Hua becoming Lady Qin.

Ruofu reached out and took it, unfolded it and glanced at it.

Su Xin apologized to her on the note, saying that she was unaware that A Ruo had sneaked out of Qingzhi Courtyard last night. This morning, when Qing Ying got up to wash, A Ruo deliberately sent her out again. When she returned, the two of them had already arrived at the main courtyard.

She failed to notice in time, and even more so, failed to inform the Fujin in advance, which led to Qingying and Aruo publicly confronting the Fujin. She has truly failed the Fujin's trust and is willing to accept punishment.

After reading it, Ruofu casually handed the note to Chenguang, saying nonchalantly, "What's there to punish? The master and servant are already wary of her, refusing to let her handle any personal matters. A'Ruo is practically glued to her eye every day. She can't crawl into other people's heads, how could she know everything?"

"Let it go this time. Tell her not to take it to heart. It's good that A'Ruo is gone and Qingying is under house arrest. I'm pregnant now and I can't be bothered by her. Until I finish my postpartum confinement, let's not let her come out and bother people anymore. Let her take care of things in there by herself. That should be enough."

Shen Guang nodded in agreement and was about to put the note away when Ruo Fu suddenly remembered something: "By the way, how's A'Ruo doing? Has she finished all thirty strokes of the cane?"

"It's all over, not a single blow was missed." Shen Guang sighed softly, "However, as the Fujin instructed, we found skilled men who knew their limits, so they only caused her pain and didn't really break any bones. After the beating, we applied medicine and changed her into clean clothes. She has now been sent back to the Ulanara Mansion by carriage."

Someone else was sent to inform her father. If her family is willing, they can come and take her home in the next few days. Fortunately, it's freezing cold today, so the wound is less likely to fester, and treatment shouldn't be delayed.

"That's good." After hearing this, Ruofu felt the last bit of resentment in his heart dissipate.

Although she severed Qingying's arm, didn't she also save A'ruo's life?

This kind of reckless, outspoken fool who loves to jump around and cause trouble for himself and others should just go home as soon as possible!

"These people are truly unaware of their own good fortune."

Shen Guang suddenly sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Where in this world can you find a mistress as good as Fujin? She is fair in her dealings, but she never really takes anyone's life. Even when she decides to kick someone out, she doesn't forget to find a way out for her."

Ruofu burst out laughing: "Who praises their master to his face like that? That's shameless."

"But I think Sister Shenguang is absolutely right." Zhaoying immediately replied, "Ever since Consort Qing entered the manor, she has always acted as if she is the only one who is sober while everyone else is drunk, as if everyone else entered the manor to compete for the prince's favor, while she is the only one who does not compete or fight and is innocent."

But the prince truly cherishes her dearly! If it were anyone else as the primary wife, who could bear not making things difficult for her? Only our primary wife is kind-hearted. Even if she doesn't like her, she never shortchanges her monthly allowance. Occasionally, if she wants something beyond her allowance, as long as it's in the storeroom, you don't say a word and just have someone send it over.

In those two instances where the mistress and servants acted ungratefully and disrespectfully, wasn't it the latter two? Yet, even so, your punishments were all perfectly justified and lawful; no one could find fault with them!

Ruofu felt a rare blush creep up her face as the two maids praised her from both sides, but she couldn't suppress the urge to say, "Alright, alright, are your lips coated with honey today? You're suddenly trying so hard to flatter me; you must have something on your mind."

As she said this, she suddenly clapped her hands: "I just remembered, I haven't sent you red envelopes today! It's all that Ulanara's fault, she came to bother me first thing this morning, and I was so angry that I forgot about important matters."

Ruofu pointed to the dressing case: "Go and take out that small sandalwood box inside. You two each draw two envelopes, and the rest in the courtyard, one for each person! The prizes inside are all different, some more, some less. Who gets more, who gets less, it all depends on your luck! Don't argue about it, otherwise if I see it, I'll return them all!"

Zhaoying's eyes lit up instantly, and she rushed over to hug the sandalwood box to her chest, beaming with joy: "I knew it! Your Highness is the best mistress in the world!"

"I also think the Princess Consort is wonderful!"

At the same time, Gao Xiyue returned to her courtyard. Without even changing her outer coat, she plopped down on the soft couch and earnestly said to Granny Dai:

"I can't explain why, but I just can't stand that Consort Qing. She usually seems like a gentle and kind person, speaking softly and acting all nonchalant, but every time she opens her mouth to speak to the Prince Consort, I want to punch her in the face and tell her to shut up!"
