In just two short years, Song Jingning suffered countless injuries, yet Mu Qingyan still claimed to love her.

At this moment, Mu Qingyan suddenly rushed in, pointed at Yao Feiran and shouted, "Mother, how dare you hit Yue Wan in front of your sister? Yue Wan has been weak since her miscarriage and has not recovered. She is hiding in her room and refuses to come out. Mother, you must apologize to her, or I will not forgive you."

"Do I need your forgiveness? You're using this skill on me instead. Pearl, beat me. I'll stop whenever I say stop."

Pearl's eyes flashed with ferocity as she rushed over and began slapping Mu Qingyan from both sides, the sounds of the slaps particularly loud in the night.

Mu Qingyan's mouth was bleeding from the slap, and the guards around her didn't dare to breathe.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Qingyan fainted. Zhu'er had enjoyed herself, but now she was scared and turned to look at Yao Feiran.

After taking Mu Qingyan's pulse, Yao Feiran discovered that Mu Qingyan was faking fainting, whether out of embarrassment or because of the pain.

She waved her hand: "Useless. A few slaps and you're unconscious. Carry you back inside."

The eunuchs hurriedly lifted Mu Qingyan up.

Yao Feiran said, "The Crown Prince is not allowed to leave the house during this period. You better behave yourself, or I will beat you every time I see you. As for Song Yuewan, she dared to incite the mother-son relationship between me and the Crown Prince. I will drag her out and slap her."

Pearl was eager to try: "Your Highness, shall I do it?"

"Yes, there's no need to hold back."

Sister Afu used to say that she was clumsy and easily hurt her master, which made Zhu'er feel very inferior. Now she understands that she used her strength in this way!

After a while, a mournful sound came from the Crown Prince's palace again. Yao Feiran sat leisurely waiting, while Mu Qingyan dared not wake up this time.

Sure enough, when it was his turn, he dared not show any mercy to the ladies.

You only know how much it hurts when you get slapped yourself.

Yao Feiran reviewed the affairs of the Crown Prince's residence for a while, marking the people the emperor had placed one by one. She also transferred Wu Mama from the palace to manage the internal affairs of the Crown Prince's residence and assigned four or five guards to protect Wu Mama.

Song Yuewan was not allowed to interfere in the Crown Prince's internal affairs.

After Yao Feiran returned to the palace, Mu Linzheng, for the first time ever, came over. He knew what Yao Feiran had done at the Crown Prince's residence, and seemed to be in a much better mood.

Yao Feiran was thinking of having hot pot for lunch, but then Mu Linzheng came over, and she had to eat those bland stews again.

"The Empress has accomplished quite a bit this time she left the palace."

"What brings Your Majesty here?"

Mu Linzheng was displeased. What did he mean by that? Did he have to have something important to do before he could come over?

"I heard that you have exempted the concubines from paying their respects."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I don't think there's anything wrong. They don't need to make this trip every day."

Mu Linzheng's gaze was scrutinizing: "You've changed a lot lately."

"Your Majesty, I have simply chosen a more comfortable way of life."

"I hope so."

Yao Feiran was speechless. After Song Jingning entered the palace, the original owner of the body had been targeting her, and she was always humiliated by the emperor. The emperor also said that the original owner of the body had become ferocious.

If your daughter-in-law were to become a sister who shares a husband, you would have overturned the table long ago if it weren't for feudal society.

The two fell into a long silence. Yao Feiran flipped through the account book, now focusing on managing the Yao family's businesses outside. The original owner of this body also received dividends. Now she had to find a way to expand these businesses so that the Yao family wouldn't have to send money every now and then.

Mu Linzheng was almost completely ignored and left feeling bored.

Yao Feiran told the small kitchen to start making hot pot and barbecue.

The best thing about being an empress is that she has a lot of power. It doesn't matter if she is neglected, since she already has a child. The Yao family has been noble for generations, even if the child is a bastard.

A month later, Mu Qingyan was released from confinement and rushed to find Song Jingning again. He still couldn't believe that Song Jingning had completely let go of her, and he even took out the old letters.

Song Jingning angrily tore everything up. Mu Qingyan tried to pull her away and hug her, but Mu Linzheng ran over to protect his wife and gave Mu Qingyan thirty lashes.

Yao Feiran rubbed her temples, had someone inform the emperor, and then quietly went to the Crown Prince's residence.

Mu Qingyan lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. His lips parted, but he didn't know what he wanted to say. He just kept stroking the jade pendant.

It was a token of their love.

Yao Feiran narrowed her eyes slightly.

Song Jingning doesn't have children yet, so it's uncertain whether Mu Linzheng will depose the crown prince for her sake. However, if Mu Qingyan continues to cause trouble, Mu Linzheng will definitely replace the crown prince.

"Mother, I regret it. I want her back in my life."

"It's impossible. She's already a concubine in the harem. You'll only ruin your future if you do this."

"Without her, what's the point of me being the crown prince?"

A sharp glint flashed in Yao Feiran's eyes.

A wife-chasing-after-the-cremation scenario?

Do you want to give up your future?

Then she had no choice but to give up this son.

The original owner only had this one son, and she couldn't have any more sons. The emperor was not interested in women and didn't have many princes, and they were all too old to know anything about the matter. She was too lazy to adopt any more. Given Mu Linzheng's personality, he would probably only dote on Song Jingning later on.

"Mother, it turns out she always wanted to leave, but she gave me 99 chances."

"What 99 chances?"

"She saved my father before she married into the family. When we got married, my father said that if I regretted it, I could leave her. At that time, she said she would give me 99 chances. I didn't pay attention. Now I realize that after hurting her 99 times, she will leave me for good."

Yao Feiran's face twisted in pain.

99 chances?

One time was enough for her to kick him out; Song Jingning can really take abuse.

I initially felt some sympathy for her, but now I think she deserved it.

They had a chance to leave sooner, but they insisted on hurting others 99 times before leaving.

It's like an unkillable cockroach.

This kind of person who lacks self-respect ultimately succeeded in being proven wrong thanks to another man's pity.

Ultimately, if Mu Qingyan hadn't insisted on pursuing his wife through a "wife-chasing-the-cremation" scenario, Song Jingning might not have been able to do anything to him in the short term.

Moreover, generally speaking, the fact that Mu Qingyan treated Song Jingning this way shows that he didn't care about her at all. Yet, after Song Jingning left, he actually gave up the position of Crown Prince for her.

Mu Qingyan's thought process is also hard to understand.

Yao Feiran wasn't in the mood to talk to him. She turned around and burned all of Mu Qingyan and Song Jingning's keepsakes and letters to prevent him from being reminded of their past.

Of course, when Mu Qingyan found out, he ran over and pointed at Yao Feiran's nose, scolding her for what right she had to erase Song Jingning's traces.

Yao Feiran had Zhu'er slap him dozens of times.

Mu Qingyan returned home feeling both ashamed and indignant (but also satisfied). Perhaps embarrassed by her swollen face, she behaved herself for a while.

Yao Feiran's eyes lit up; this was a good idea.

Once Mu Qingyan's face had almost healed, Yao Feiran brought Zhu'er to cause trouble again, and then, under a pretext of getting angry, made Zhu'er slap him dozens of times.

For six months straight, Mu Qingyan did not attend court and stayed home to recuperate.

This time, Mu Linzheng couldn't hold back any longer and came to their door.
