Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!

As soon as Cuiwei came out, she saw them standing in the main hall: "Who are you?"

This shout scared Fang's mother, and the vase in her hand fell to the ground and shattered.

After hearing the noise, Shen Mengyao came to the front hall.

"what happened?"

Fang's mother coughed and said, "It's none of my business. He suddenly made a noise and scared the vase in my hand, so it broke."

Shen Mengyao didn't like such rude behavior, but considering that they were Xiaoqi's parents, she could only endure it temporarily.

"Okay, it's nothing serious, leave now."

"This vase costs a lot of silver. It's your dowry." Cuiwei muttered.

When Xiao Qi heard this, he felt even more guilty.

"I, I'll compensate you."

"Who are you? Why do you live in such a big yard alone? I think Luochuan and Xiaoqi are married, so they should live in this big yard." Fang's mother looked mercenary and calculating.

Shen Mengyao sneered: "This is the house under my name, how about I go to the Ministry of Revenue to transfer this house to Xiaoqi?"

Fang's mother didn't hear the sarcasm here, instead she looked calculating.

There is a house in the capital, and Li An will be able to study in the academy in the capital in the future.

"I think it's great. The owner of Shuiyunjian is your brother, right? He and my son-in-law are partners, and we are all family."

I really don't know whether it is ignorance or vulgarity to dare to think of such a thing.

"That's enough, Dad and Mom. She is the princess, and this is the princess's mansion. Everything about our wedding gifts and silver was paid by the princess. How dare you think of these things?"

"Ah?" The two were frightened and sweating profusely. They had wanted to throw a tantrum and cause some more trouble as compensation, but they didn't expect to run into such a tough guy.

"What about Luochuan?" Father Fang asked in surprise. He had originally thought that he was either rich or noble, but he didn't even have his own house to get married, and the wedding was held in the Princess's Mansion. Could it be that...

"He is the princess's follower." Xiao Qi raised his head and said, "But my daughter was already his last night. Now the gift money has been received and the marriage has been done. If you regret it again, I will report you to the government."

Shen Mengyao was surprised by her toughness.

The two cried loudly: "What a sin, what a sin!"

"Now take the money and leave while you still have it. Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog." Xiao Qi was completely angry.

If they don't turn against each other, who knows what embarrassing things these two people might do!

Shen Mengyao also gave face to Xiaoqi and asked her to take the person away and deal with it herself. Seeing that the time was almost up, she asked Queyue to tie up Yu Po from the side room.

There is an inner alley outside the Princess's Mansion, which is separated from other mansions and has no door, so generally no one goes there.

The jade lady covered the purse in her hand, which contained a fake jade pendant.

She looked around nervously, with a guilty look on her face.

After a while, a man climbed over the wall and stood in front of her.

"Did you get the stuff?"

"I got it." Yu Po nodded. "It took me a lot of effort. After this happened, I can't stay in the Princess's Mansion anymore. You have to compensate me more money."

"This is a small matter." The man stretched out his hand: "Give me the jade pendant first, I'll check it out."

The jade lady stepped forward and handed him the jade pendant: "Look, it's exactly the same as you described."

The man just glanced at it and frowned: "It's fake!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Queyue descended from the sky and stood in front of him with a sword in hand.

"Of course it's fake."

Yu Po was so scared that she took a few steps back and hid in a safe corner.

"The eldest prince sent you here, right? Do you want the jade pendant back?" Queyue snorted coldly, "Why not try to see if you have the ability to do it?"

She stepped forward with sword in hand, looking heroic.

Seeing that his whereabouts were exposed, the man's expression became stern. He quickly drew the soft sword from his waist and confronted Queyue. The sword flashed, and the two figures leaped and moved in the alleys. The sound of the sword tips colliding was crisp and rapid.

Shen Mengyao stood aside, watching all this coldly, secretly calculating in her heart.

This man was obviously well-trained and had extraordinary skills. He was by no means an ordinary thief. Although Queyue was a martial arts expert, he had poor physical strength. He might not be able to gain the upper hand if he continued to fight with him.

Her eyes turned cold, knowing full well that the eldest prince must be behind this, but today, she must take this opportunity to completely cut off this hidden danger.

"Stop!" Shen Mengyao suddenly spoke, her voice cold and majestic.

When the two heard this, they were both stunned. With their swords touching each other, they forgot to move for a moment.

Shen Mengyao walked forward slowly, staring at the man with a sharp gaze, "Go back and tell the eldest prince that I, Shen Mengyao, will handle the matter of the jade pendant myself, and he doesn't need to worry about it. But if he dares to send people to harass you again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The man's eyes flickered, obviously surprised by Shen Mengyao's tough attitude.

He hesitated for a moment, finally snorted coldly, put away the sword, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Shen Mengyao spoke again, with an unquestionable firmness in her tone, "Take Yu Po away as well. She is your accomplice. I don't want to see her appear in my house again."

The man glanced at Yu Po, a complex look flashed in his eyes, but he finally nodded, reached out and grabbed Yu Po, and disappeared into the night in a few jumps.

Queyue sheathed his sword, walked to Shen Mengyao's side, and asked worriedly: "Princess, if we let them go like this, will it be..."

"It's okay." Shen Mengyao shook her head gently. "If the eldest prince really wants to get the jade pendant back, he will find another way. We just need to wait and see how things develop, and respond to all changes with the same attitude."

In the eldest prince's mansion, the man knelt on the ground.

"My subordinate made a mistake. I hope the Grand Prince will punish me."

The eldest prince glared at him fiercely and said, "Useless thing, go and receive your punishment."

The man did not dare to hesitate and left with a fist clasped.

When the eldest prince was the only one left in the study, a figure emerged from behind the screen.

"The eldest prince shouldn't have given the jade pendant away so easily."

The eldest prince took a deep breath and said, "Zhang Daozi, it's just a jade pendant, why are you so anxious?"

Zhang Daozi had his hair loose, looked like an immortal, and was holding a dustpan in his hand, obviously dressed like a Taoist priest.

"Because the jade pendant can get the things left behind by the eldest prince's mother."

"Mother?" The eldest prince shook his head and sneered, "My mother came from a humble family. It was only because she followed my father early and gave birth to me, the eldest son, that her status rose. In addition, her relatives were promoted to serve as officials in the court. What could she have?"

Zhang Daozi laughed and said, "The person I'm talking about is not your mother, but your biological mother."

"What?" The eldest prince's eyes turned cold: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Daozi raised his head and stroked his long beard: "Now that the eldest prince has reached adulthood and the emperor is in his twilight years, there are some things that the eldest prince has to know."

The eldest prince could not accept this fact at all and stretched out his hand to stop him from speaking.

"Wait a minute, my mother is dead, why should I believe what you say?"
