After giving her contraceptives, she went mad, criticizing the prince for turning white-haired overn

Wang asked, puzzled, "Grandmother, what do you mean by this?"

"How could there be a traitor within the Ye family?"

Madam Ye sighed deeply.

"Forget it, I can't explain it to you."

"Tomorrow, have the eldest brother come to my room. I have something important to tell him."

"As for Huai'er, he can only be well cared for these days, and we must not let anything else go wrong."

Madam Wang quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, Madam."

Old Madam Ye slowly rose from her chair and, supported by her maids and servants, went straight back to her own courtyard.

The night was quiet, but the Shen family was far from at peace.

When Shen Ning quietly returned to the Shen family, the entire Zhaohua Courtyard was deathly silent.

After sneaking back to Zhaohua Courtyard through the side gate of the Shen family, she felt utterly exhausted and fell asleep immediately.

In the quiet night, a faint fragrance suddenly wafted through Zhaohua Courtyard.

The door to the side room was gently pushed open, and a figure in black silently entered the inner room.

Shen Ning was fast asleep on the couch, completely unaware that someone was in the room.

She turned over, facing the inside of the bed, and then entered a long and eerie dream.

In her dream, she was in a pitch-black, chaotic world where she couldn't see her own hand in front of her face.

The sound of dripping water entered my ears from the front.

She groped her way forward.

The further you go, the clearer the sound of water becomes.

Gradually, she seemed to hear a woman's almost hoarse cry for help.

Following the sound, I slowly walked towards it, and a sliver of dim candlelight shone in from afar.

The space where she was located was gradually illuminated.

Shen Ning followed the candlelight and walked inside. In a dark basement, she saw a middle-aged woman covered in blood with her limbs bound.

The woman was disheveled, her thin undergarments were soaked with blood, and her hands and feet were firmly chained.

She was emaciated and tied to a wooden frame.

Shen Ning approached with trepidation, and when she saw the woman's face clearly, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Although the woman was old, her eyebrows and facial features resembled those of both Shen Wan by about seven or eight points.

"Ah Ning, save me."

"A-Ning, save my mother!"

The woman's hoarse cries for help pierced Shen Ning's ears like needles, jolting her awake from her dream.

"don't want!"

"Mother, no!"

She opened her eyes, and the familiar boudoir made her feel a little more at ease.

She took a deep breath, slowly sat up, and gently patted her chest.

"Thank goodness it was just a dream."

"Thank goodness it was just a dream."

The woman in my dream was my mother, then...

Could it be that she's still alive?

It took Shen Ning a while to calm down.

The white undershirt he was wearing was already soaked with cold sweat.

She got up from the couch, loosened her belt, and slowly took off her inner garment.

The girl's fair shoulders and slender waist were exposed to the air.

The man's dark and unfathomable eyes in the corner grew even darker.

Shen Ning was about to bend down to pick up her clothes when she suddenly heard a soft sneer that had an ambiguous meaning.

Her heart tightened, and she quickly pulled her clothes together.

Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see a tall, slender man sitting in the chair.

The man exuded a cold aura, and his refined and handsome face appeared even more mysterious and unpredictable in the dim light.

Shen Ning's pupils contracted slightly as she looked at him in disbelief: "You... how did you get here?"

Xie Linyuan sat casually in the chair, his slender fingers lazily tapping the armrest.

Those deep eyes held a hint of coldness and a touch of amusement.

"What, with me here, Miss Shen dares not change her clothes?"

Shen Ning pursed her lips, forcing herself to remain calm, and said, "Your Highness, please speak frankly about what you wish to do."

"Since Your Highness despises me, why do you repeatedly break into my boudoir at night?"

Xie Linyuan glanced at her indifferently, as if he had heard a joke.

"Has Miss Shen forgotten how she climbed into my bed in the first place?"

"Keep changing them, what's there to be afraid of?"

The man's voice was cold and commanding.

Shen Ning stood frozen in place, her heart pounding like a drum.

In her previous life, she was insincere towards him; besides fearing him, she felt more hatred towards him.

But in this life, he was reborn with the memories of his past life, so all she felt for him was fear.

Having been married to Xie Linyuan for two years in her previous life, she knew his personality all too well.

He's too dangerous; he's a complete madman.

But sometimes they are also very loyal and affectionate.

He could elevate her to the heavens, but he could also ruthlessly push her into the abyss.

"What, you're afraid to change?" Xie Linyuan raised an eyebrow.

Shen Ning clenched her hands and whispered, "It's not appropriate for His Highness to be here."

The man scoffed coldly.

"That part of Miss Shen's body, I haven't touched it?"

Shen Ning was momentarily speechless, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"you……."

"What, did I say something wrong?"

Shen Ning was speechless.

Xie Linyuan was right; he had not only touched her, but also bitten and kissed her.

Xie Linyuan looked at her, the girl clutched her clothes tightly, bit her thin lips, and dared not look him in the eye.

In this life, she is afraid of him.

But in her past life, she was incredibly arrogant.

Poisoning, insults, curses—what vicious methods haven't they used on him?

She took advantage of his doting on her, became arrogant and spoiled, and pushed him step by step into the abyss.

"Are you afraid of me?" Xie Linyuan kissed him.

Shen Ning mustered her courage and took a step back: "I'm not afraid."

Xie Linyuan sneered, "If you're not afraid, then why are you hiding?"

"Your body is utterly uninteresting to me; I have absolutely no interest in it."

Shen Ning bit her lower lip lightly and let out a cold laugh.

Boring?

Who was it that lingered with her for two whole hours at Putuo Temple, unwilling to let go?

And who was it that was so infatuated with her in their past life, spending every night in her courtyard?

She bit her lip, feeling somewhat uncomfortable as Xie Linyuan stared at her.

The man slowly got up from the chair, picked up a clean white undergarment, and threw it on her.

"Change yourself. I have other questions to ask you."

Shen Ning gripped her clothes and took a deep breath.

Seeing that Xie Linyuan wasn't looking at her, she bit her thin lips and took off her clothes, which were soaked with sweat.

The white undergarment slowly slipped off, revealing a shapely and exquisite figure.

Her body was already slender, and in the dim light it appeared even more fair and white, like jade.

Xie Linyuan slowly closed his eyes and turned his back.

Shen Ning then carefully untied her misty blue bodice.

Shen Ning changed her clothes before speaking.

"What brings Your Highness here tonight?"

Xie Linyuan took a deep breath, slowly sat down in the chair, and looked at her coldly.

"Was it you who came up with the idea for the Ye family tonight?"

Shen Ning nodded: "Yes."

Xie Linyuan frowned: "Who told you about my relationship with Elder Ling? Was it Prince Chen? Or...?"
