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

Shen Mengyao smiled and turned to look at Cuiwei: "Cuiwei, go get another eight hundred coins."

Cuiwei nodded, and eight hundred coins were placed in a cloth bag, which was then slammed heavily on the table.

Shen Mengyao curled her lips and smiled: "My Lord, I won't take advantage of you. I still have 800 coins, please take them."

Qi Suian knew she did it on purpose, he stretched out his hand and weighed it, the weight of the eight cents made one side of his body bend slightly.

Shen Mengyao saw his look and smiled quietly with her hands covering her mouth. When his eyes swept over her, she quickly returned to normal, cleared her throat and said in a deep voice: "My Lord, it's getting late. The Princess's Mansion cannot tolerate rumors. I won't see you off."

Qi Sui'an's eyes turned cold: "I have helped you so much, and you treat me like this?"

Shen Mengyao's eyes fell on the silver in his hand and she smiled sweetly: "Isn't this a dividend for you? Your Highness didn't pay, but he worked hard, and I also gave you half of the dividend. The silver and goods are paid, what else does Your Highness want in return?"

Qi Suian was speechless for a moment, snorted lightly, turned and left. The moment he used his lightness skill, the bag of coins made a ding-dong sound, which was particularly clear.

Shen Mengyao broke down and couldn't help but burst into laughter. Fortunately, Qi Suian had already walked far away and didn't hear her laughter.

Cuiwei was stunned for a moment, then she smiled with relief: "Princess, you haven't smiled like this for a long time. It seems that the young lady likes the Regent very much."

Shen Mengyao's expression faltered, and she curled her lips: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't like him."

Cuiwei knew she would say that, and muttered, "But the young lady always smiles happily when she is with the Regent."

"He is not someone worth liking, Cuiwei. Don't say such things anymore in the future." Shen Mengyao reminded with a cold face.

Cuiwei saw this and quickly nodded her head, but she secretly muttered in her heart that her princess was clearly saying one thing and thinking another. However, she did not dare to bring up the matter again, lest she annoy Shen Mengyao.

In the small courtyard, Mrs. Zhu was lying on the hospital bed, coughing non-stop.

She wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and she looked very weak: "I took three doses of medicine a day, but there was no effect. I am still like this. I am very weak."

Li Junfeng immediately comforted her: "Illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread. What's more, it's a good time. It's common to have a bad body. Mom, you should take good care of yourself and don't think about these messy things."

Zhu coughed twice, her face full of eagerness: "Do you still have the money you brought with you?"

In the past, she had never worried about money. She could buy whatever she wanted. It could all be paid for from the mansion anyway. In the end, it was still Shen Mengyao who paid the bill.

But that is no longer possible. When they left, they did not take much money with them. All the jewelry that Shen Mengyao had bought for her were taken back after she left. Now their lives are very tight, which is completely different from the past.

Li Junfeng sighed and said in a deep voice, "Mom, don't worry about these things. The money I brought with me is still there, enough for your medical treatment and recent meals. When the weather in the capital is better, I will go find some old friends and some opportunities."

Upon hearing this, Zhu was filled with resentment: "It's all Shen Mengyao's fault. She kicked us out for no reason. Now we are living such a miserable life. I'm afraid it's her wish that came true!"

Li Junfeng remained silent. He knew that his mother was speaking in anger, but he couldn't help feeling powerless.

He originally thought that he could live a better life by relying on his own abilities after leaving Shen Mengyao, but now it seems that everything is not as smooth as he imagined. However, he was unwilling to show it in front of his mother and could only bear it silently.

Zhu continued, "Go tell Shen Mengyao that my illness has not improved. See if she will remember our old friendship and send me some tonic. After all, I was very kind to her in the past."

Li Junfeng recalled Shen Mengyao's attitude when he met her in the pharmacy before. He knew that there was no affection between them. But even if he went to ask for the medicine, he might not be able to get it. He looked like a beggar, which made people feel disgusted.

"Mom, you should have a good rest and don't think about these things."

Zhu sighed, covered herself with the quilt and lay down. After thinking for a while, she said, "Where's Yue Huan? I was sick these two days, and she didn't bring me any food or medicine."

Li Junfeng's eyes flickered, and he maintained his dignity on the surface: "She has been taking care of the kitchen and helping to boil medicine these two days and is tired. Starting tomorrow, the maids' wages will not be paid. They are not sold on death contracts, so I'm afraid they will have to resign starting next month. So, she has been particularly tired these days."

Zhu always felt that something was wrong, but because of her illness, she didn't have much energy to pay attention to this matter, so she just waved her hand helplessly.

"You should also think about your future. You can't really marry Meng Yuehuan. She has nothing now and is the daughter of a traitor. Not only will she not be of any help to your career, but she may even be a hindrance. You should declare her as your cousin and take care of her at home."

Although Li Junfeng really liked Meng Yuehuan, after weighing the pros and cons, he couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"Mom, I understand. You should take a good rest."

After saying this, he tucked in the quilt for Zhu and tiptoed out.

Just as he was about to send the medicine bowl to the kitchen and return to his room, he saw Meng Yuehuan dressed up gorgeously, even choosing bright red lip balm.

He was furious: "Meng Yuehuan!"

Meng Yuehuan heard the call and turned around to glance at him.

"what happened?"

Li Junfeng gritted his teeth and asked, "Who are you dressing up for at this time?"

"I can't move out with you guys and lose the right to dress up. A woman's poor appearance is a reflection of a man's incompetence. I've tolerated you for long enough. You'd better not offend me."

Meng Yuehuan also felt resentful. She had thought that she could live a legitimate life after she was released. But now, Li Junfeng was dragging his feet and refused to go to the Ministry of Revenue. She had no name or status and now she had no money. Even her personal maid was going to be sent away. How could she endure such a life?

Li Junfeng really didn't expect her to say this: "Have you forgotten the vows we made when we were together?"

"You forgot!" Meng Yuehuan narrowed her eyes and snorted coldly: "Don't think I didn't hear anything. What did you and your mother say just now? You still want to marry other noble ladies in the capital and forget about me? Don't you think about yourself? Do you still have the ability now?"
