Pin Shanhe

Meng Wan choked on her words, "Don't be impulsive! What I mean is... it's also possible to cultivate while keeping your hair."

Shen Fu's expression grew even more serious.

"Once you've made up your mind, don't give yourself a chance to regret it. How can you serve the Buddha if your six senses are not pure?"

"..."

Is she serious?

If Shen Fu really becomes a nun, wouldn't that be counterproductive?

Not only will the Fourth Prince's grand plan be affected, but her dream of becoming Empress will also be shattered.

In her panic, she blurted out.

"If you had seen how the Fourth Prince acted last night, you wouldn't have said such a thing!"

"After he got back, he ignored his head injury and got completely drunk, and later developed a high fever."

Even so, he keeps calling your name. Can you really bear to give him up?

Shen Fu asked疑惑地问道, "What's wrong with him? How do you know?"

Because she spent the whole night with the Fourth Prince!

Meng Wan almost blurted out the truth, but quickly changed her mind, "On the way here, I met the steward of the Fourth Prince's residence, and he told me this."

Shen Fu thought to herself that it would be inexcusable if she didn't make a good impression.

After all, in other people's eyes, she and Jun Qiyuan were indeed in love and had a deep affection for each other.

Later, after the incident of being mistakenly married in a bridal sedan chair, she lost her innocence.

But he didn't mind at all. He begged her in front of the emperor, kowtowing until his head bled, disregarding even his own safety.

If she remains unmoved after all this, then she is truly heartless.

Not only that, it will also arouse their suspicion.

She secretly pinched her thigh, and tears instantly filled her eyes.

"How could he be so foolish? I'm not worth him doing this!"

When Meng Wan saw her like this, she was immediately delighted.

The Fourth Prince is right. As long as you play the victim in front of Shen Fu, she can't possibly be heartless enough to ignore you.

"You're the only one who can save him now. You can't bear to watch him give up on himself, can you? If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself."

At this moment, Jun Qiyuan had already made preparations in the mansion, pretending to be sickly and haggard.

Once someone arrives at your door, they can make the other person feel extremely distressed and guilty.

Unexpectedly, the other party did not take the bait at all.

"Then I shouldn't show up and bother him anymore."

Why?

Meng Wan couldn't understand.

Was her previous feelings for the Fourth Prince all fake?

"It's precisely because I love him that I can't ruin him!"

"How could a prince marry a woman who has lost her virginity?"

"I cannot be a stain on his life, making him an object of ridicule."

Meng Wan then dispelled her doubts.

Ha... at least she has some self-awareness!

"So you really want to watch the Fourth Prince harm his own body like this? What if something goes wrong..."

"Isn't this all I need? You're my best friend, and he's the person I love most. I feel completely at ease entrusting him to you!"

"..."

I originally came here with the intention of persuading her, but it feels like I'm about to be persuaded by her?

Meng Wan wanted to say something more, but was directly interrupted.

"Let's not talk about these unpleasant things for now. This is your first time visiting the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, so I should at least give you a proper welcome and show you the full extent of hospitality!"

Meng Wan could only swallow her words and, under her guidance, toured the Duke's mansion.

The carved beams and painted rafters, pavilions and terraces, are all crafted from the finest stone.

Every brick and tile exudes grandeur and magnificence, conveying the imposing aura of a top-tier noble family.

The Fourth Prince's residence is already quite grand; nothing can compare to it.

Meng Wan couldn't help but feel a pang of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Although she was born into a noble family, it was only due to the merits of her ancestors.

By this generation, no one in the family had entered officialdom, and the Marquis's mansion was just an empty shell.

Compared to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, which had served three emperors and held immense power, it was worlds apart.

If I had such a family background, I could marry the fourth prince openly and legitimately, and become his ally.

Why should we swallow our anger and watch him marry another woman?

God is so unfair!

Thinking of this, she became even more jealous of Shen Fu, and one day she was determined to trample her underfoot.

At lunchtime, Meng Wan stayed to eat with them.

A dish of ginseng and pigeon was served.

The soup is thick and white, like milk, and has a wonderful aroma that will awaken your taste buds.

As she passed by Shen Fu, she suddenly frowned and couldn't help but gag.

"Sister Shen, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I probably just had a bit of an upset stomach because I ate a pear that was too cold last night."

Meng Wan clenched her fingers, a gloomy look settling over her eyes.

She's not pregnant, is she?

Only pregnant women experiencing morning sickness feel an unbearable urge to vomit.

"Why don't we call a doctor to come and take a look? It's fine if it's just an upset stomach, but I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?"

"No...it's nothing? It's probably not some serious illness, sister, please don't avoid seeking medical help!"

Shen Fu smiled and said, "I already called a doctor last night, so I'm really fine."

Meng Wan was restless and left after the meal.

……

"What did you say? Shen Fu is pregnant?"

Jun Qiyuan was deeply shocked, clearly taken aback by the news.

But he quickly regained his composure and raised questions.

"Impossible! Even if someone is pregnant, it takes a month to diagnose, and it's only been one day!"

Meng Wan sighed, "I hope it's not true, but what if it is?"

He had thought about this question before, but he always felt that the probability of hitting the mark on the first try was too small.

These words, however, dealt him a heavy blow.

That's right!

Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case!

He must nip it in the bud.

Since Shen Fu now considers Meng Wan her best friend and has no defenses against her, we should take advantage of this opportunity to strike.

He then questioned the Duke's mansion in detail.

He was very pleased to learn that Shen Fu had shed tears of heartache when she heard about his serious illness and had said that she did not want to be a burden to him.

This shows that she still loves herself!

Based on this alone, he has a sure chance of winning!

Since Shen Fu refused to come over, he had no choice but to take the initiative.
