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

This incident caused quite a stir. So many maids and old women saw it, and rumors were secretly circulating in the capital.

At the beginning, Li Junfeng proposed to marry the princess of a rich family, which was already a step above his station. But I didn't expect that he would do such a thing in private. It was really shameful.

People talked about it with great gusto, and privately called Li Junfeng the "Sparrow Man" because a sparrow will never turn into a phoenix even if it flies onto a branch.

Shen Mengyao received a letter in the courtyard and went to keep the appointment.

In the teahouse, Qi Sui'an was sitting by the window. Shen Mengyao calmed herself down, knocked on the door and walked in quickly.

"My Lord, what do you want from me?"

"Is this what you want me to see?" Qi Sui'an laughed, his thick sword-like eyebrows raised: "I spent so much effort to drive away Meng Yuehuan. Now that there is no obstacle, I think this mansion is quieter and more convenient!"

"I haven't finished my work yet, Your Highness, are you so impatient?" Shen Mengyao chuckled and asked, "There's still a lot of time, Your Highness, just wait patiently, there will definitely be exciting things in the future!"

Qi Sui'an narrowed his eyes and looked at Ran's determined eyes. Perhaps he really didn't trust her. He waved the paper fan lazily and spoke in a light tone.

"I hope so."

Shen Mengyao saw that the tea set in the room was complete, so she sat down and skillfully brewed a pot of tea and brought it over: "This seems to be the best Longjing tea before the rain. My cooking skills are not good, can Your Majesty try it?"

Qi Sui'an's expression relaxed a little. He took the teacup and took a light sniff, then he smelled the fragrant tea.

He took a sip, savoring the aroma of the tea, and nodded slightly, "Not bad, you have quite a bit of skill in making tea."

Shen Mengyao lowered her head and smiled faintly, "When I was at my mother's house, I cultivated myself, played the piano, wrote calligraphy and painted, and was no different from an ordinary girl."

After drinking a cup of tea, she looked up at the sky outside and said calmly, "It's getting late, and I should go back. Please do as you please, Your Majesty."

After saying that, she stood up and quickly walked out of the teahouse.

Cuiwei picked up the cloak and put it on her.

After getting on the carriage, she asked Cuiwei: "Have you checked all the accounts in the mansion before?"

Cuiwei nodded and said, "Yes, but Madam, you ignored it before, and the money in the account was deducted by the young master. There are several accounts that are unclear, and it is not small, hundreds of taels of silver."

Shen Mengyao nodded in understanding: "I was foolish before. I had a large dowry but couldn't keep the money. Now I have a big family to support. If I don't make any money, I'm afraid I'll just eat up all the money."

Cuiwei immediately suggested when she saw this: "Wait until the master and the young master come back. If the young lady needs anything, she can ask them."

Shen Mengyao shook her head: "I'm already married, how can I ask my parents for help? Whether they are here or not, the Princess's Mansion will depend on me. I have to think about it carefully."

Cuiwei was delighted when she heard this. Madam, is she planning to divorce? But she changed her mind and thought that this was a royal marriage, so it might not be that easy to divorce.

Shen Mengyao didn't notice what the girl was thinking. She propped up her chin and said thoughtfully, "Besides, Li Junfeng likes Meng Yuehuan so much? Even if he sends her to the countryside, he will definitely bring her back in a few days."

Cuiwei gritted her teeth and said, "What should we do? Should we let them deceive Madam like this?"

Thinking of the courtyard in her previous life, Shen Mengyao guessed that it was purchased by Li Junfeng a long time ago. However, she was in a daze and passed over the Wan family. She only remembered the approximate direction and could not remember the specific location of the courtyard.

"Don't go back home yet, go for a walk."

She asked the driver to look in that direction, hoping that with the help of her memories from her previous life, she could find the yard. However, after wandering through the intricate alleys for half an hour, she found nothing.

Cuiwei also noticed it and asked in confusion, "Madam, what are you looking for?"

"Forget it, this method is too stupid after all!" Shen Mengyao thought for a while and thought of an idea. She felt a little regretful that she didn't think of it when Qi Suian was here and didn't talk to him about it in person.

She wanted to borrow one of his men.

After returning home, she wrote a letter to Qi Suian, which roughly meant that although she wanted to kill the thief, she had no capable man around her, and hoped that he could lend her Queyue.

Qi Sui'an received the letter very quickly and smiled faintly: "I want to see what you are up to?"

He casually handed the letter to Queyue who was serving beside him.

When Queyue saw it, she was immediately shocked: "What is Madam Li doing with this subordinate?"

Qi Sui'an's face was grim: "From now on, call her Princess in front of me."

Queyue curled her lips and said, "My Lord, do you agree or not to accept the princess's letter?"

"Since you've asked me, there's no reason for me to refuse." Qi Sui'an glanced at her and said calmly, "From today on, you will serve her. When she doesn't need you anymore, come back."

Queyue was very dissatisfied: "Your Majesty."

"Dare you to disobey my order?" Qi Suian glanced over with cold eyes.

Even if Queyue was dissatisfied, she could only suppress it and bowed: "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."

Shen Mengyao waited for a whole day but received no reply. When she was about to rest at night, she saw a familiar figure lying on the beam.

She smiled and said, "Miss Queyue, it's cold on the beam, why don't you come down."

"No need." Queyue thought about it and decided that she couldn't be so rude, so she bowed to her and said, "Princess, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

Shen Mengyao smiled and said, "I'm bored alone, why don't you come down and talk with me."

"What is there to talk about between you and me? Just tell me if you have anything to say, Princess." Queyue said in a businesslike manner.

Shen Mengyao thought about it and brought up a topic that she was most interested in: "Tell me about the prince."

Queyue straightened up instantly: "Do you really want to hear it?"

Shen Mengyao thought for a moment and was still most interested in his white moonlight.

"It is said that the prince has a woman he loves, but they are not together. Do you know?"

"I don't know about that." Queyue shook her head: "The prince never told us these things."

Shen Mengyao thought about it and it was true. Now it was just some rumors. No one knew the name of the woman he admired, where she lived, and what she looked like.

Just as she was about to ask another question, Li Junfeng's voice came from outside the yard.

"Mengyao, who are you talking to?"

Shen Mengyao didn't expect him to come. She was just slightly shaken in her heart, but she quickly regained her composure and went out to greet him calmly.

"I was just settling accounts with Cuiwei. The expenses in the mansion are too high. We should save as much as possible. Why are you here?"

"I came to see you. I wanted to see if you've calmed down." Li Junfeng said, moving closer to her in an ambiguous manner.
