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

Shen Mengyao narrowed her eyes.

Zhu's crimes were extremely serious, so Nanny Wang was no pushover either.

In her previous life, her neck was strangled to a breaking point. Until her death, Nanny Wang’s hideous face kept appearing before her. She was nothing but a cunning slave who was relying on the power of another to bully others!

She pretended to be pitiful and turned back to beg for mercy, but Shen Mengyao looked away and treated her coldly.

She had no choice but to get up tremblingly and leave step by step.

Lin Youwei clenched her fist and spoke frankly: "It feels so good."

Shen Mengyao felt extremely tired. She raised her eyes and forced a smile: "Sorry, I dragged you into this again."

"You asked me to come and see them and take care of them, and I'm happy to participate." Lin Youwei looked at her distressedly: "Fortunately you have come to your senses. If you had been protecting your mother-in-law, I would have really ignored you for the rest of my life."

Shen Mengyao thought of the past and felt it was ridiculous. She laughed at herself and said, "It's a pity that I woke up too late."

"It's not too late at all." Lin Youwei held her hand tightly, her eyes firm: "The way you dealt with Nanny Wang just now was very cool, it should be like this, food and clothing are all paid for by your dowry, and you still have the nerve to be disrespectful to you? This is your Princess Mansion, and it was changed to Li Mansion for the so-called face of men. When do you plan to change it back?"

"No rush, it won't take long." Shen Mengyao narrowed her eyes.

The abscess will rot little by little, but it should be dug out only when it is completely rotten.

Lin Youwei knew that this day would come sooner or later.

Li Junfeng was so angry when he heard the news that he smashed a white porcelain plate in the study.

Porcelain fragments splashed in front of a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes. Meng Yuehuan strolled in and picked up the fragments scattered on the ground with her slender fingers.

"Brother Junfeng, why are you angry?"

"Shen Mengyao is becoming more and more lawless. She begged everyone for permission to marry me, but now she dares to turn her back on me." Li Junfeng slammed the table.

Meng Yuehuan comforted him, with a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

"Why not find a way to get rid of her!"

"But this..." Li Junfeng shook his head: "It's not appropriate."

"What's wrong?" Meng Yuehuan asked with some jealousy, thinking that he was heartbroken.

Li Junfeng was seriously considering the feasibility of this matter.

"Although Shen Mengyao's father and brother have been stationed at the border for several years and may not come back once, they are still considered family members. If she dies, her dowry will definitely be taken back to her parents' home, unless the whole family is dead."

But the border was out of reach, and he didn't even have the thought of taking action. Now he couldn't come up with the money, and the connection was broken. He had no power and authority, and he could not move forward.

Meng Yuehuan thought for a moment, raised her eyes and said, "Then drive her crazy, and then kindly take her in. You can also gain a reputation as a virtuous person. A madman like her can't manage money, so she can be at your mercy, right?"

Li Junfeng did not object at the moment, but now he was more worried that the Regent was still coveting Shen Mengyao, and there might be a chance to use her to gain benefits in the future.

"Let me think about it again! Let me think about it again..."

Meng Yuehuan was moderate in her attitude and didn't push him too hard. A hint of determination flashed across her pretty face: "No matter what, I will stand by your side."

Li Junfeng pulled her into his arms: "Having you is enough for me."

"Then I'll go back." Meng Yuehuan's eyes were reluctant to leave.

Li Junfeng was a little reluctant to leave. He had had enough of the monk's life these days. He pulled her and said affectionately, "Can we not go back?"

"That tigress is very strict." A trace of resentment flashed across Meng Yuehuan's pretty face. She leaned closer to his arms, her eyes full of tenderness: "If love lasts for a long time, why should we be together day and night?"

The Empress Dowager's birthday is approaching, and the Emperor presides over grand ceremonies both inside and outside the palace to show his filial piety.

The palace was decorated early, with red silk decorations and a festive atmosphere. The dignitaries and nobles who were qualified to attend the night banquet entered the palace early, enjoying the scenery along the way, and arrived at the Weiyang Palace where the banquet was held.

There was a commotion in the hall until a eunuch's voice pierced the sky: "The Queen Mother has arrived, the Emperor has arrived."

Everyone stood up to welcome the Queen Mother.

The empress dowager was wearing a dark yellow robe embroidered with a phoenix, which highlighted her unparalleled dignity. When she looked at everyone, she exuded royal majesty.

But only Shen Mengyao knew that when she was amiable, she was just like her own grandmother. She would be amused by what he said and would warmly offer her snacks to taste.

"Everyone loves you."

The Queen Mother raised her hand and sat down, and then everyone stood up.

She glanced at the women's seats and frowned. That girl didn't come again?

The emperor led everyone to raise their glasses and pray together: "May the Queen Mother live forever in the Nanshan Mountains, and may the pines and cypresses flourish forever, and may she live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"

"Fun."

The Queen Mother smiled and drank the glass in one gulp.

The music in the main hall was changed to "Five Daughters Celebrating a Birthday". It was a lively play, suitable for singing during birthday celebrations.

The emperor was delighted and asked: "What do you think of the singing, mother?"

The Queen Mother was not interested and smiled and said, "We listen to it every year. There is nothing new. It just sounds interesting."

The emperor smiled and said nothing.

After the opera was over, an exquisitely embroidered screen was carried into the main hall, and the scenery of mountains and rivers seemed to be right before one's eyes.

Behind the screen, the candlelight casts a silhouette, and white hands gently pluck the strings of a zither, and a clear and elegant sound of the zither rang out, which is the prelude of the song "Spring River Moon Night".

The sound of the piano is gentle and melodious, like a clear spring flowing in the mountains, or like the twinkling stars in the night sky in the mountains, which is refreshing.

It sounded like the lingering sound of a musical instrument. The Queen Mother recognized it and could not help but tense her body.

Shen Mengyao smiled slightly, absorbed in playing the piano. The intricate sounds of the piano made the listeners fascinated, as if the music had been lingering in the ears for three days. The noise of clinking glasses in the hall became much less, and everyone was listening to the piece of music attentively.

Li Junfeng naturally recognized Shen Mengyao. He originally blamed her for not telling him anything and showing up at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. But when he turned around, he saw Qi Suian, who was sitting at the head of all officials, with an intoxicated look on his face.

He looked at the silhouette with deep eyes, drank a glass of wine, and praised it generously: "This song should only exist in heaven, how many times can it be heard in the world? I am afraid that it can only be compared to the broken jade in the empty mountains and the weeping of fragrant orchids."

Li Junfeng was very happy.

Since Shen Mengyao won't give him money, he will find an opportunity himself. As long as Qi Suian still likes Shen Mengyao, he will have the opportunity to use him to achieve his goals!

After the song was finished, everyone in the audience praised the song as if they had just woken up from a dream.

Shen Mengyao held down the strings of her zither, stood up, and bowed down in the hall: "Your servant Mengyao respectfully wishes the Queen Mother good fortune as long as the flowing water of the East Sea, and a long life as long as the evergreen pines of the Southern Mountains."

When the Queen Mother saw that it was her, she said with some joy: "Get up. It has been a long time since I heard such piano music. It is like the sound of nature."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. As long as I can make you happy, that is what my heart desires." Shen Mengyao looked at that kind face, tears welling up in her eyes.
