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

Qi Sui'an raised his eyes and smiled: "I didn't expect you to be so determined this time. You really drove them away."

"If you don't drive them away, what's the point of keeping them?" Shen Mengyao smiled faintly, and the dimples that were faintly visible on her lips made her look more gentle and elegant.

"I also want to thank the prince for lending me his people. I was able to catch him and make a big fuss about this matter, so I had a chance."

"It's okay, they are all trivial matters, not worth mentioning." Qi Sui'an waved his hand slightly, appearing to be indifferent.

Shen Mengyao picked up the tea, gently turned the lid, and said with a faint smile: "Now the prince will finally understand my sincerity."

"There's no rush about the cooperation." Qi Sui'an's expression was cold, his dark eyes were deep and unfathomable, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking at this moment?

Shen Mengyao didn't insist either.

"I understand that the prince wants long-term cooperation, so we can't make a hasty decision." She put down the teacup and looked at Qi Sui'an firmly, "But I believe that the prince will see my value."

Qi Suian nodded slightly, without responding directly, but changed the subject: "Shen Mengyao, divorce is just the beginning. The water in the capital is very deep. How many people treat you differently because you grew up with the Queen Mother? You are innocent, but you are guilty of possessing a treasure!"

Shen Mengyao understood the deep meaning of his words: "Of course I know. Now that I live away from home, I don't want to get involved in the worldly affairs. When I got married, my father and the queen mother each added a lot of dowry. I can be at ease with this family business."

She knew that Qi Suian was afraid that she would misjudge people again. Besides, she had a special identity. However, after experiencing the past, she would not fall into the same trap. Matters between men and women were no longer as exciting and passionate for her as before as a young girl.

"Very good." Qi Sui'an nodded approvingly, "I admire your determination. The waters in the capital are deep, so proceed with caution."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reminder." Shen Mengyao nodded slightly.

Since Qi Suian was sent here, it was not convenient for him to stay here for long. He just sat for a while and then left to report to the palace.

Cuiwei felt happy: "Princess, we are finally free from these blood-sucking insects. You made the right decision this time."

Shen Mengyao laughed: "It seems that you have been hoping that I would do this for a long time."

"Yes, that Zhu is just relying on her age to act arrogantly here. Who tolerates her bad habits?" Cuiwei rolled her eyes with disdain: "That's good now. No one in this mansion dares to bully the princess anymore."

Shen Mengyao thought for a moment and said, "Since everyone has been kicked out, then the maids who served before must be replaced."

Cuiwei nodded: "Don't worry, I will do it properly."

Shen Mengyao stretched herself lazily and said, "I'm going to sleep for a while."

She had only taken a nap for half a cup of tea when she suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers outside the door.

She yawned and called Cuiwei: "Why does it sound like someone is at the gate of our house? Who is it?"

"I don't know." Cuiwei helped her get up: "Is it possible that someone is here to cause trouble? We need to go and take a closer look."

She tidied up her hair which was messy from sleeping and walked out quickly, running into the joyful Lin Youwei head-on.

"Did you set off these firecrackers?" Shen Mengyao asked in surprise.

Lin Youwei laughed openly: "Of course, I heard the news of your divorce early this morning. Thinking about this big happy event, how could I not come to congratulate you?"

"There's nothing good about publicizing this kind of thing. We should keep a low profile." Shen Mengyao sighed helplessly.

"If it were someone else, there would be nothing to brag about, but if it were you, you would have to celebrate your escape from the sea of ​​suffering."

After Lin Youwei finished speaking, she clapped her hands.

The servants filed in, carrying in several boxes of things.

Lin Youwei opened the lid of the box, revealing some light-colored silks and satins.

"These are all for you. Make some new clothes, cut off the past, and start anew."

Shen Mengyao smiled and took her hand: "Thank you, you didn't give up on me after I did so many stupid things."

Lin Youwei smiled and tied her hair, her eyes full of pity.

"Fortunately, everything is over!"

After all, it was a marriage arranged by the royal family. Although the divorce agreement had already been signed, Shen Mengyao still felt it necessary to report the matter to the royal family.

The next day was a sunny day. After reporting in the morning, she went directly to the palace to meet the Queen Mother.

Aunt Fuqing came out to greet her: "The princess is here?"

"Has the Empress Dowager gotten up yet?" Shen Mengyao asked.

"Of course I got up, but I'm in a bad mood." Fu Qing sighed.

"Oh, why is this?" Shen Mengyao blinked and asked in a low voice.

Before Fu Qing could reply, the empress dowager's old but majestic voice was heard.

"Mengyao is here? What are you talking about outside without coming in?"

Shen Mengyao then smiled, walked in quickly, and said in a deep voice: "Empress Dowager, I pay my respects to you."

The Queen Mother waved her sleeves, her face seemed to be slightly angry: "You are a child who does whatever you want. You can divorce me if you want!"

Shen Mengyao was stunned. She originally thought that the Queen Mother did not think highly of Li Junfeng and would agree with her divorce, but she did not expect him to have such an attitude.

She glanced at Fuqing, who just smiled at her and stood aside with his hands hanging down, saying nothing.

Shen Mengyao thought for a moment and understood. She immediately stepped forward and patted the queen mother's legs: "Queen mother, Mengyao knows she was wrong! Back then, she insisted on marrying regardless of her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Now it has ended like this. It is really embarrassing."

The Queen Mother snorted softly: "Have you really made up your mind? Are you just doing this on a whim or just for fun?"

When Shen Mengyao heard the Queen Mother say this, she knew that she agreed with her divorce. She was just worried that she would do something reckless like she did before.

She smiled and said, "Empress Dowager, I have thought it over carefully. Divorce is my true wish. I have suffered so much injustice and indifference, and I have seen Li Junfeng's true face. This time, I am divorcing not only for myself, but also for the face of the Shen family. I know that the Empress Dowager has always loved me and hopes that I can be happy, so I came here to report this, hoping to get your understanding and support."

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment after hearing what Shen Mengyao said. She seemed to have completely believed it, and then she slowly said, "Since you have made up your mind, I will not say anything more. However, you are my disciple after all. After the divorce, you must plan your future carefully and don't let yourself be wronged again."

Shen Mengyao felt a surge of warmth in her heart when she heard this. She quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your care and teachings. I will definitely keep them in mind and plan my future well."
