purple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like Pan Zhu was on the brink of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruyi eventually couldn’t bring herself to do it and suddenly released her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave her a vicious kick to the abdomen, then turned around and burst into tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Zhu clutched her throat, feeling pain in her belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, she let out a miserable cry, rolled her eyes, and fainted on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing something behind her, Xia Ruyi turned around in

basking in their joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grand crimson attire was incredibly lavish, accompanied by rounds of songs, dances, and toasts, inducing a slight intoxication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After nightfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each moment of bliss during the first night was precious, the young couple inseparable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the backyard, the master and maid showcased total collapse, one fainting and the other unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dim light cast a cold, lonely ambiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cobwebs in the corners added to the melancholy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contrast between the front and back was stark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making Xia Ruyi’s utter failure, desolation evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the rest of the twelfth month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruyi was virtually confined by the Princess Consort, using various excuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t even seen the Sixth Prince, let alone shared a bed with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, she hit Pan Zhu several more times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, when Pan Zhu couldn’t take it anymore, she ran to the garden in the rear courtyard of the Prince’s Mansion, intending to throw herself into the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was saved by Hong Qiao, the Princess Consort’s trusted maid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much persuasion, Pan Zhu finally returned to Xia Ruyi’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But strangely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since then, Xia Ruyi never hit Pan Zhu again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for what exactly happened that night, only those two maids probably knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that’s another story, for now, let’s not dwell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time shifts back to the day after the Sixth Prince’s grand wedding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Capital City was inundated with gossip about Xia Ruyi shamelessly throwing herself at the Sixth Prince, delusionally pursuing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not entirely false, considering it was the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hou Mansion and Minister’s Mansion were the first to learn the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Manxue even sent word to the palace at the first opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Xia Ruqing knew early on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the confirmed news, Xia Ruqing was still quite impressed with the brazen behavior of the Sixth Prince and Empress Dowager Zhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sighed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alas!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Had it been another innocent young girl, I’d probably feel heartache!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But for Xia Ruyi, that’s not necessary!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not being some virtuous white lotus herself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Figuratively using others’ tricks against them, she remembered it firmly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Yue and Zi Su listened for a while before finally understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Su asked further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss, does that mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Sixth Prince swapped the bride last minute?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last minute? Who knows how long it was pre-meditated! How could it have been last minute!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Su nodded and asked further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So does that mean Xia Ruyi was completely kept in the dark?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She didn’t know she was swapped!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Yue tapped her head playfully and laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re usually so clever, why so slow this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Miss has said it three times already!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Su chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m just too shocked!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even in dramas, they wouldn’t dare write it like this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is quite the spectacle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood up, gazing out at the goose feather snow, stretching lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn’t concern me!
