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

Shen Mengyao laughed helplessly: "Girl, I just asked you a question casually, but you are so tired of talking so much."

Cuiwei stuck out her tongue, picked up the peach wood comb, and combed her messy three thousand strands of black hair.

Shen Mengyao's mood became worse and worse. She didn't know whether she should show concern or not, but she was afraid of being caught. After all, that bastard Li Junfeng had been thinking about giving her to Qi Suian.

But if she didn't ask, her conscience would be uneasy. She was really in a dilemma.

While she was thinking, Cuiwei had already combed her hair and helped her to stand up. She shook her head and put these thoughts behind her. Forget it, there are so many people watching in the Regent's Palace. If something big really happened, some news would definitely spread.

Now that there is no news, it is actually the best news. When she placed the piano in the yard and prepared to practice to calm her mind, she suddenly heard Meng Yuehuan talking to the maid who was doing rough work in the room next door.

"Cousin Junfeng is busy with important matters in the previous dynasty and has no time to come." Meng Yuehuan said in a low voice, taking a long breath: "It seems that something happened to him, but he is unwilling to tell me what it is."

The little maidservant laughed and teased: "Madam hasn't been looking forward to you yet, why are you looking forward to it?"

"Brother Junfeng is my only relative, so I naturally care about him. I remember his kindness and will definitely repay him in the future." Meng Yuehuan said loudly.

"Yes, but this matter has nothing to do with me. I will send the beans to the kitchen after picking them. You can take your time embroidering." After the little maid said this, she came out.

Cuiwei, who was standing beside her, naturally heard it, and felt that Meng Yuehuan was still ruthless at this point, so she curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "I think Meng Yuehuan is still ruthless and is thinking of taking advantage of the opportunity. Madam, you and the young master live under the same roof, and it seems like you haven't seen each other for several days."

Shen Mengyao was too lazy to see him at all. She just felt a lot quieter. Without him to bother her, her life was so comfortable.

"If she wants to go, then she can go. Who's stopping her? I think she's just saying this for other reasons. Don't pay any attention to her."

When they were secretly having an affair, they never made it public, so it seemed strange to say it out loud in the yard.

She felt that there was nothing good in this. Cuiwei was stunned for a moment, then lowered her voice and said weakly, "I feel that the Madam doesn't care about the Young Master as much as before."

"Why should we care about him? Let's just enjoy their entertainment and have some peace and quiet." As Shen Mengyao spoke, she had already set up the piano and was plucking the strings.

Cuiwei was stunned for a moment, and was very happy, but at the same time she felt sorry that her wife realized it too late. How great it would have been if she had realized it when she had tried every means to request for a marriage!

Shen Mengyao knew clearly that Meng Yuehuan and Li Junfeng were colluding, and that they were pretending to attract her to care about Li Junfeng. She would not do such a stupid thing as rushing to offer benefits.

Li Junfeng would come to see her, and sure enough, after just one day, he became impatient and stepped into her yard.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming in advance? I asked the maid to prepare some of your favorite snacks for you." Shen Mengyao walked forward with a look of surprise.

Li Junfeng sighed and held her hand: "Mengyao, now there are collusion in the court. If you are not recommended, I am afraid you can't even be an official, let alone realize your ambitions."

Shen Mengyao sneered in her heart, as expected, what was supposed to happen in the previous life would always happen.

It was around this time that she discovered that Li Junfeng was always in a bad mood. In her previous life, she had come up to him eagerly to show her concern for him, and he reluctantly told her about his troubles: no one in the court recommended him, and he had nowhere to display his talents.

At that time, she didn't know what was going on. It was as if she was blinded by greed and she wishfully thought that Li Junfeng's excellence was not noticed by others. She hated the collusion in the court, but she had to go with the flow and took out most of her dowry to give him connections in the court.

An official who was bought with money naturally could no longer be part of the clean stream and had to mingle with those parasites in the court. Later, she also vaguely discovered that he seemed to be making a deal with someone. At that time, Li Junfeng dismissed her with a few words and she didn't think much about it. Now, everything is really strange.

Later, he used her money to rise to a high position in society, while she was buried deep in the mud, never to see the light of day.

She suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and said gently, "I don't understand what's going on in the court. Even if you tell me, I can't help you. Why don't I cook a meal for you myself to relieve your husband's tired heart?"

"This is not what I need now!" Li Junfeng was anxious and roared in a low voice. He had hinted so clearly. Shen Mengyao had never been so stupid before. As long as he gave a hint, she would voluntarily give everything.

Shen Mengyao's shocked expression revealed a trace of grievance: "Why are you being mean to me? It's not because of me."

Li Junfeng finally reacted and put his arm around her shoulders: "Okay, Mengyao, don't be angry. I'm just thinking about the opportunity to make achievements and earn you the status of a royal consort, so that everyone can see how right you were to choose to marry me. That's why I'm so anxious."

Shen Mengyao dodged his hand calmly: "Then my husband must be down-to-earth and take it step by step. There is still a lot of time, I can wait for you."

"It's not that I am down-to-earth now, it's that no one in the court is willing to give me this opportunity." Li Junfeng took the opportunity to hold his hand and said sincerely: "Mengyao, please use your dowry to help me. When I become a high-ranking official in the future, the money will naturally come back."

A chill surged in Shen Mengyao's heart. He still didn't give up. Did he really think she was a fool? In her previous life, she had blindly believed in him and gave everything she had just to help him get to a high position.

But what was the result? What did she get? Endless betrayal and torture worse than death.

Shen Mengyao gently pulled back her hand, with a firm light in her eyes: "My husband, although I don't understand the affairs of the court, I also know that bribery is a taboo in the court. I can't put you in an unjust position because of my momentary greed."

Li Junfeng frowned, and there was a hint of threat in his tone: "You really won't help me?"

Shen Mengyao said firmly: "It's not that I won't help your husband, I just believe that with your own ability, you will definitely be able to rise to the top."

Li Junfeng's eyes suddenly turned cold and he took a step back.

"Mengyao, you have changed. You don't care about me as much as before. Who is it because of? The Regent?"

Shen Mengyao couldn't help but sneer in her heart. She had changed, becoming sober and independent, but Li Junfeng had never changed. He had always been so selfish, ungrateful and cold-hearted.
