Just as Shen Fu was about to struggle, a tall, slender figure in black robes blocked her way and slapped his hand away.

"Fourth Prince, she is now my princess consort. Please have some self-respect!"

Jun Qiyuan's eyes were filled with resentment and hostility as he glared fiercely at the man in front of him.

"What on earth are you doing? Why is Fu'er pregnant?"

"Isn't it normal for men and women to be attracted to each other and have children? You were able to get this Miss Meng pregnant, so why can't I?"

Jun Qiyuan was speechless, and felt that something was wrong with everything.

Two brides found out they were pregnant at the same time—what a coincidence!

Moreover, Shen Fu had clearly taken contraceptives, so even if she did get pregnant, she would have miscarried without anyone noticing, just like Meng Wan. Why was she able to survive?

But faced with the facts, he had no choice but to believe them.

Even if the Xuan King could bribe one of the imperial physicians, it's impossible for so many imperial physicians to lie, right?

The situation was already very unfavorable for him, and he could only place his last hope on Shen Fu.

"Fu'er, are you really willing to leave me?"

In her past life, Shen Fu was deceived by his affectionate appearance and fell for his hypocritical facade.

This time... who doesn't know how to act?

Her eyes instantly reddened, perfectly portraying the heart-wrenching pain of losing her beloved.

Why is fate so unfair to us? We love each other, yet we can't be together. Forget me, and treat Meng well from now on; she is your destined one!

"No, I can't lose you. Without you, I would rather be dead!"

Seeing that he was about to resort to his usual "crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide" tactics, Shen Fu quickly covered his mouth.

"Then what should we do? Meng's child is already gone. If you don't take responsibility for her, how will she face anyone in the future? Are we going to build our relationship on someone else's pain?"

Meng Wan immediately put on a magnanimous act and said, "Sister Shen, you don't need to worry about me. Since the child is gone, it means that I am not destined to be with the Fourth Prince. I only hope that you can be happy."

That's enough, are you still going on and on?

As Shen Fu gradually lost patience and prepared to end the conversation, a chilling voice suddenly came from beside her.

"How dare you openly go back on your word in front of the Emperor? Are you trying to defy the imperial decree?"

Seeing this, Emperor Yong had no choice but to step forward and make a statement.

"Yuan'er, a bet's a bet. It seems you and Shen Fu are truly destined to be apart. Just accept your fate!"

"Father..."

Jun Qiyuan tried to persuade them again, but was coldly interrupted.

"A gentleman's word is law, and a promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold. You promised this yourself, so there's no room for going back on your word. Do you want to utterly disgrace the royal family before you're satisfied?"

Jun Qiyuan was successfully subdued.

Being in the royal family, he deeply understood the meaning of "first the ruler and his subjects, then the father and his son."

If he angered the emperor, not only would he lose his coveted position as crown prince, but he might even lose his life.

Even if he was unwilling, he had no choice but to accept his fate.

The drama of the wrong bride in the bridal sedan chair has finally come to an end.

The happiest person was Shen Fu, who finally managed to sever ties with Jun Qiyuan in a legitimate way, and he would never have the chance to set his sights on her Zhenguo Duke's Mansion again.

Her revenge has only just begun!

……

After returning, Jun Qiyuan was enveloped in a chilling aura, as if he had fallen into an abyss.

"Didn't you tell me that she had already eaten osmanthus cake laced with contraceptives? Why is she still pregnant?"

"I swear, I really saw it with my own eyes."

Meng Wan was also completely baffled by this.

Shen Fu had no idea that they would do something to her, so she had no chance to defend herself.

Besides, given her feelings for the Fourth Prince, why would she want to have another man's child?

"So, the dosage of contraceptive was insufficient?"

To avoid Shen Fu noticing anything amiss, they deliberately controlled the dosage, which is why they were able to exploit the loophole.

Meng Wan couldn't help but smile bitterly. She actually hoped that was the case, so that her child wouldn't die in the womb.

Thinking of the child she lost before he was even born, she felt extremely distressed and filled with unspoken resentment.

Why is this woman always so lucky, even managing to avoid birth control pills so precisely?

God is so unfair!

Jun Qiyuan clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

Previously, when Meng Wan suspected Shen Fu, he always denied it immediately.

Besides believing in Shen Fu's feelings for him, he also felt that she had no motive for doing so.

But now, he is wavering.

Before the wedding, she was so eager to marry him and dreamed of growing old together with him. Why has everything changed now?

If she truly loves him as she did before, neither the Prince Xuan nor Meng Wan are any obstacle!

He kept thinking back, trying to figure out which part of the process went wrong.

Thinking that he had always played the role of being extremely affectionate in front of Shen Fu, without ever revealing the slightest flaw.

Only...

Meng Wan suddenly felt a cold gaze fall on her, and her heart trembled.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Jun Qiyuan grabbed her wrist and asked coldly, "Didn't I promise you that I would give you the best of everything after it was done? Can't you wait that long?"

Understanding his meaning, Meng Wan's eyes widened in surprise.

"You suspect that I revealed my relationship with you to Shen Fu, which led her to choose Prince Xuan?"

"Otherwise, why would she suddenly change her attitude when she clearly loved me so much?"

Tears suddenly burst forth, and endless grievances welled up in my heart.

Meng Wan could no longer control herself; she became hysterical, her voice hoarse with a hint of collapse.

"For you, I went to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to gather information; for you, I knew the pastry was poisoned, yet I still ate it without hesitation; for you, I acted in front of my rival, even pushing my beloved to her side. Haven't I done enough for you? How could you treat me like this?"

Jun Qiyuan lost his temper and became angry because he could not accept the fact that Shen Fu had "fallen for another man".

Her words jolted him awake, and he quickly pulled her into his arms to comfort her.

"That's not what I meant. I was just so angry that I didn't know what to do."

Although Meng Wan was saddened by his self-doubt, she could still understand his feelings.

He had said long ago that Shen Fu and the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion behind her were his greatest hope for seizing the throne. After so much scheming and plotting, it was all destroyed in an instant. No one could accept that.

Why is he working so hard to get that position? Isn't it all for his own benefit?

Thinking about it that way, I felt relieved and even felt a little sorry for him.

"Regardless of whether Shen Fu has any problems or not, for the sake of our grand plan, I will find a way to help you get her!"
