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

Xiao Qi lowered his head in disappointment.

Although life here is still comfortable, everything is changing quietly in secret.

Luochuan seemed to be worried, and the princess's mind was not entirely on Shui Yunjian anymore. It was already good enough for her to come and see him once every half a month and settle the accounts.

What went wrong? It seemed like everything started to become different after my parents came here and made a scene, or was it because of that marriage that should never have existed?

She thought about it all night but couldn't figure it out.

Shen Mengyao discussed changing the dishes with Chef Li early in the morning.

The dishes she launched last time were well received as soon as they came out. Chef Li was naturally very convinced by her methods and kept giving her thumbs up and praising her.

"The Second Young Master is really ingenious. The dishes he prepared last time were very popular."

"I just have nothing to do, so I thought about some delicious recipes. But your cooking skills are still better." Shen Mengyao said with a smile.

"Now that the weather has turned cold, people in the capital love to eat these mutton hot pots, so we have to prepare them."

"Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking." Chef Li nodded: "This is the source of the mutton, we have to think of a way."

Shen Mengyao thought for a moment, chuckled and said, "The mutton in the north is the most tender. I will think of a way."

Chef Li patted his chest heavily and said, "As long as the Second Young Master can get some good mutton, I guarantee that the guests will be packed."

Shen Mengyao smiled and said nothing more.

Just sitting on the terrace on the second floor, there seemed to be more boats on the river. Several of them were parked at the temporary ferry in front of their backyard. They were blocked by the dock and it was impossible to see clearly what was going on inside.

She glanced at him, then slowly looked away. When she walked out, Xiao Qi was holding up his head and calculating on an abacus.

When the guests went to pay the bill, she didn't even look up, but just kept asking the accountant next to her to do the math.

Seeing that he looked absent-minded, Shen Mengyao called her to the controlled box on the second floor. Xiaoqi looked a little listless when he entered.

"Second Master, do you have anything to tell me?"

Shen Mengyao laughed and said, "Haven't your parents gone back? What's troubling you? Tell me about it."

"Second Young Master, I..." Xiao Qi hesitated to speak.

Many things are weighing on my mind, but I can't figure them out.

"Is there anything else you can't tell me?" Shen Mengyao chuckled and raised her head, looking at her sincerely.

"It's fun to be here, but I feel like everything will change soon." Xiao Qi sighed.

She didn't want to be separated, didn't want to be apart, but she always felt that when all that happened, she could do nothing and could not change anything.

"Why do you always worry about things that haven't happened? All good things must come to an end. One day you will leave me." Shen Mengyao pursed her lips and said, "Everyone has their own path. It's enough to be true to yourself."

Xiao Qi lowered his head and thought for a long time before nodding: "Second Master, you may be right. I just think too much and always want to keep all the beauty in front of me. I don't want to let it all go. But sometimes parting is also a way of growth."

"That's the right way to think. Life is hard to be perfect. Don't worry about things that haven't happened yet." Shen Mengyao brought her a cup of tea: "Drink some tea first. If you feel uncomfortable, go and rest for a while."

Xiao Qi finished the tea, smiled and shook his head.

"It's alright, Second Young Master. I'll get busy now."

After saying that, she skipped out quickly.

Shen Mengyao shook her head and was about to close the window when she found a few vendors under the window, shouting and selling things.

Although it was very abrupt, she didn't think much about it. After all, this was an intersection with a good location and a large flow of customers. She just observed for a while and made sure that they were selling something before she walked out quickly.

After settling the bill in the evening and preparing to go back, Chef Li brought out a hot pot from the kitchen.

"I just bought some fresh mutton from the market today. How does it taste, Second Young Master?"

Shen Mengyao laughed: "You are quite quick."

Chef Li happily pulled out a chair for her and said, "The more money I make, the more I get paid. So I can't be careless. How do you like the taste?"

The pot was still bubbling with steam. The soup had been simmering for a long time and had turned into a rich milky white color, exuding the delicious flavor of mutton. The mutton in the pot was soft and boneless, and it was so juicy that you could taste it when you took a bite.

"Not bad. If you add some chive sauce, the taste will be really extraordinary." Shen Mengyao's eyes lit up.

I really did not choose the wrong person. Chef Li is really capable.

"I've even given it a nice name, called Fulu Pot. What do you think?" Chef Li asked with a smile.

Shen Mengyao thought for a moment and nodded: "Very good, I'll listen to you. I remember that the beginning of winter is in a few days, so put up the advertisement first and put it on the menu on the day of the beginning of winter. I'll give you a little discount in the early stage. You decide on all these."

"Okay." When Chef Li heard that she gave him such great power, he naturally rubbed his hands and was ready to take action.

It was getting late, and after finishing the hot pot and warming up her body, Shen Mengyao left Shuiyunjian.

There was almost no one on the street, and the creaking sound of the sedan chair being lifted up was particularly clear. He supported his head with a look of fatigue.

Suddenly, a long whistle sounded in the air, waking her up suddenly. In the quiet night, the sudden sound seemed extremely strange.

She sat up straight suddenly, and just as she turned her head to look at the car, she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves approaching from afar.

Queyue had already been on guard: "Hurry up, leave here!"

The sedan bearers quickened their pace, but they were still no match for those who came on horseback. They wore long hats and had black scarves covering their faces. The leader waved his hand and several horse shackles were thrown out and tied directly to the sedan.

Before they could react, the horses galloped backwards again, the sedan flew into the air, fell heavily to the ground, and slid quickly towards the horses.

Queyue frowned: "The iron chains on the grassland tie up the prey. These people are really well prepared. Hurry and chase them!"

She gave a signal and rushed out first, but she never expected that her sedan chair would be dragged away by those people. A long line of soldiers formed on the quiet street, with dozens of cavalrymen staring at her hungrily.

Queyue's eyes were red, and she gnashed her teeth and yelled, "Get out of the way, or you will die."

Those people were unmoved. They stayed behind to cover our retreat, disregarding their own lives.

Queyue's eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed forward with his sword raised. The two sides fought each other, and it was hard to separate. The gang guarded the street tightly, building a wall with their bodies, and would not let anyone pass.
