[1] Transmigrated Into a World of Villains

Xiao Liangliang lowered her head, feigning weakness while inwardly sneering.

So what if she's a princess? Men still fall head over heels for her.

"This is Princess Changping and Concubine De. If you have any difficulties, you can speak up, and we will help you," Shangguan Ze quickly chimed in.

Princess Changping shot him a glare.

Shangguan Ze lowered his head.

Xiao Liangliang hastily knelt down, "This commoner, Liangliang, greets the Princess and Concubine."

Tears began to stream down her face again.

"Is that your child?" Princess Changping asked coldly.

Xiao Liangliang nodded.

"Instead of properly caring for your child, you bring him here to cry and wail. What's the meaning of this?"

Xiao Liangliang frowned subconsciously. This didn't sound like the same Princess Changping that Shangguan Ze had described to her as being gentle and fond of children.

Why did she sound so disdainful?

Faced with the situation, Xiao Liangliang didn't have time to think too much and began to speak, "Your Highness, to be honest, I... I am ill. I lost my parents when I was young, and my only brother has also passed away. I'm a widow with no family left, just me and my child. My health is failing, and I won't last much longer. While I can still move around, I thought to leave my child here, hoping someone with a kind heart might take him in. If someone adopts him, I will have fulfilled one last wish. If not, then it's fate. I really have... no other choice."

She then began crying loudly again.

"So pitiful, truly pitiful," Shangguan Ze sighed. He discreetly tugged at Princess Changping's sleeve, speaking in a grand and noble tone, "Ping'er, perhaps this is a fate ordained by heaven."

"What fate?" Princess Changping asked, her expression blank.

Shangguan Ze said, "We've been childless for years, and now, just after praying for a child, we meet this baby. Isn't that fate? Ping'er, you don't know, but I was just in the temple praying to the heavens to bless us with a child. And here he is. You can finally be a mother."

"I've heard of several childless couples who adopted a child and then, within a few years, conceived one of their own. It's said that such children bring the fortune of siblings with them, enabling their adoptive parents to have children."

Princess Changping stared blankly at him, "You want us to adopt this child?"

Shangguan Ze nodded, "With this child, your spirits might lift, and when your mind is at ease, your body will improve. Maybe in a few years, you'll conceive naturally."

Heh.

Changping sneered inwardly.

It was clear that Shangguan Ze's words, both overt and covert, were aimed at implying that she couldn't bear children.

How had she not noticed this disgusting side of Shangguan Ze before?

She had once believed that Shangguan Ze truly loved her and didn't care whether she could have children.

Men and their lies—clearly, it's him who's ill and can't have children.

That scumbag is a pig! A big pig!

Little Ah Bao gnawed on a teething snack, pointing her tiny finger at Shangguan Ze. "Pig... Pig..."

Shangguan Ze frowned.
