After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

At the time, they had no better solution, so they resorted to this desperate measure.

But at that time, Xiao Jingyi was only thinking that as long as he could get Lin Qingyao, he would be a big step closer to that position. In comparison, other things were not so important.

But they didn't expect that something went wrong in the process, and everything turned out like this today, which was something they had never expected.

Lin Qingrou had a clear understanding of who would have the upper hand if she and Tang Yingqian had a conflict. Of course, she was no match for Princess Kang now.

If she could still hope to deceive Xiao Jingyi and get him to support her before, but judging from the situation in the past two days, Tang Yingqian's position in his mind has gradually surpassed her own, and she no longer has complete confidence in her heart.

Following Tang Yingqian now would only mean humiliation.

She had suffered this kind of humiliation many times before, but she just endured it and it didn't cause any substantial harm to her.

But if Tang Yingqian was angered, there was no telling what she would do.

If Xiao Jingyi really got angry because of this, it would not be as simple as just listening to a few unpleasant words.

It doesn’t matter what happens to her. For her now, the baby in her belly is more important.

It’s not because of Xiao Jingyi’s attitude, but because the child has been in her belly for so long that she has already developed feelings for him.

As a mother, she must protect her children.

This may be what people often say, mother's instinct.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Qingrou finally faced the reality and accepted her fate.

"I understand. I'll go with you."

Tang Yingqian chuckled when she heard this. Lin Qingrou was quite sensible and saved her the trouble.

"I'm glad you figured it out. Let's go now. Don't keep us waiting for too long."

On the other side, the Lin sisters were greeting the female guests. Now Lin Qingyao was the one with the highest status among these people. Everyone surrounded her, talking and laughing together.

At such a harmonious moment, Tang Yingqian pulled Lin Qingrou and appeared in front of everyone.

When they saw Tang Yingqian, everyone's expressions were quite friendly.

Even though King Kang's reputation was no longer what it used to be, a lean camel was still bigger than a horse. As long as he was still a prince, they would not dare to disrespect him.

As for Tang Yingqian, although the Tang family had encountered troubles before, her grandfather was not affected at all and was still highly valued by the emperor.

With the support of the Minister of Revenue's Mansion, Tang Yingqian's position was extremely stable, and naturally no one dared to neglect her.

So everyone welcomed Tang Yingqian, the Princess of Kang, with a smile.

However, after seeing Lin Qingrou beside her, everyone's expressions became less friendly.

Although today is her father's wedding, as a concubine, she is not qualified to come.

Seeing her appear here today and following Princess Kang's side, it must be that Princess Kang was generous and helped her.

Some of those with good memories recalled that the two of them used to be close friends, and could not help but sigh again at Princess Kang's magnanimity.

It's not easy for Princess Kang to still remember their past affection despite their current relationship.

No matter what they thought in their hearts, they had to perform the necessary formalities when meeting each other, and everyone saluted Tang Yingqian.

"Meet Princess Kang."

Tang Yingqian smiled and said, "No need to be polite. Fifth brother's wife, long time no see. I hope you are well."

Lin Qingyao smiled when she heard this, thinking that it had only been a short time since they last met. Tang Yingqian's acting skills had improved. She said that they hadn't seen each other for a long time right off the bat, as if they were still unfamiliar with each other like before, or even had some hatred between them.

Tang Yingqian deliberately put on a fake smile, which, in the eyes of others, looked like an unfriendly greeting. In fact, her apparent calmness was all a disguise.

Tang Yingqian's acting skills have indeed improved a lot. Even Lin Qingrou next to her has an ambiguous attitude towards her.

If it were the Tang Yingqian of the past, she would never have said such "friendly" words when she met Lin Qingyao.

Tang Yingqian never pretends, and never says one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. If she doesn't like someone, she will never be nice to them.

But now that Lin Qingrou has seen Tang Yingqian's acting skills, she is not so sure about her attitude towards what she just said.

Lin Qingyao smiled and replied, "Fourth sister-in-law is right. The last time we met seemed to be two years ago. I vaguely remember that we had a bad argument at that time."

What Lin Qingyao said was indeed true, and that was before the Tang family encountered trouble.

At that time, Tang Yingqian had been deceived by Lin Qingrou and thought that Lin Qingyao was not worthy of Xiao Jingyi's love, so she spoke coldly to her as soon as they met.

Although Tang Yingqian still doesn't quite understand the relationship between Lin Qingyao and Xiao Jingyi, she doesn't think too much about it now.

Now she only wanted to take revenge on Lin Qingrou and then be a good Princess Kang. Nothing else mattered.

Tang Yingqian actually still doesn't understand Lin Qingyao at all.

All she knew now was that in order to achieve her goal, she needed Lin Qingyao's help, and Lin Qingyao had already helped her take the coveted position of Princess Kang.

This alone at least shows that Lin Qingyao is a man of his words and a trustworthy partner.

Putting aside the grudge between the sisters, just based on this point, Lin Qingyao is already many times stronger than Lin Qingrou.

After discovering this, Tang Yingqian still felt a little guilty towards Lin Qingyao.

After all, she had never had any contact with Lin Qingyao before, and just based on Lin Qingrou's one-sided story, she thought she was a bad person with ulterior motives.

Therefore, Tang Yingqian now wants to try her best to make up for the wrongs she did to Lin Qingyao in the past, and cooperate with Lin Qingyao to deal with their common enemy.

Tang Yingqian chuckled when she heard this, "That was all when we were young and ignorant. How come Fifth Sister-in-law still remembers this? From what I hear, you're still blaming Fourth Sister-in-law. So why don't you take this opportunity today to let Fourth Sister-in-law apologize to you?"

Tang Yingqian deliberately spoke in a sarcastic tone, determined to play out this scene with Lin Qingyao to the end.

Lin Qingyao understood and hurried forward to stop him.

"What are you talking about, Sister-in-law? We were all young at that time, and it was normal to have some minor frictions. How could I really blame you? I was just joking with you just now. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so I wanted to ease the atmosphere. I didn't expect that my tongue was so clumsy that it made the atmosphere even more awkward. Please don't be offended, Sister-in-law."

Tang Yingqian pretended to show an unnatural smile and patted Lin Qingyao's hand lightly.

"What are you saying, Fifth Sister-in-law? We are a family now, why do we still care about the past? Fourth Sister-in-law wants to put aside the past grudges with Sister-in-law and get along well with her in the future. What do you think, Sister-in-law?"
