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

Li Junfeng was choked by Meng Yuehuan's words and was speechless. He didn't expect that she would reveal his thoughts so directly.

He took a deep breath and tried to remain calm. "I admit that my mother suggested this, but I did not agree. I just hope that you can understand our situation and we can get through this together."

Meng Yuehuan sneered, "Together we will face the difficulties? What you mean by difficulties is that I have to give up everything and endure the hardships with you? Li Junfeng, why do you think I came out with you?"

"I..." Li Junfeng was speechless. He originally thought that Meng Yuehuan chose to be with him because she loved him, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"I'm telling you, Li Junfeng, I followed you because I believed you could give me a better life. But now, I don't even have the basic living security, how can I trust you?" Meng Yuehuan's eyes flashed with determination, "If you can't give me the life I want, don't blame me for being rude."

Li Junfeng gritted his teeth and said in a gentle voice: "As long as we get through the current difficulties, we will be able to get through it smoothly in the future. You can help me take care of my mother first. As for other things, I will not treat you unfairly."

Meng Yuehuan snorted coldly: "Then don't point fingers at me. I'm dressed up beautifully, so you can have face, right? And I can only trust you for a while, but not for the rest of my life. You better ride on the wind, otherwise I won't want you anymore."

Li Junfeng held her in his arms and said, "You are mine now, where else do you want to go?"

"With my looks, that's hard to say." Meng Yuehuan curled her lips.

Li Junfeng gritted his teeth, feeling very humiliated, but he dared not say anything. His heart was in turmoil. He knew very well that their situation was precarious, and the current predicament made him feel even more stressed.

Moreover, Shen Mengyao is no longer under his control. He is afraid that the strategy of using him to please Qi Suian is no longer useful. He has to think of other ways.

The more you work hard, the more money you will make. Shen Mengyao did not give up because of the failure of her first business. Instead, she became more and more courageous. After only two days of peace, she took Cuiwei out with her, intending to buy a shop and open a restaurant.

In the capital city, every inch of land is worth a lot of money. Buying a shop might be a bit stressful, but renting one is not too expensive. She has to calculate the cost clearly.

There were not many empty shops, and most of them were small, only suitable for doing some storefront business. Cuiwei saw that she was not satisfied and blinked her eyes: "Princess, I think the locations of these shops are good."

"If we're going to open a shop, we'll open a big one." Shen Mengyao smiled gently and said in a deep voice, "This shop is big, and we need more people to make money. I want to open it all at once."

Cuiwei saw this and chuckled, "So the princess wants to eat until she becomes a big fat woman in one go."

"Girl, you are getting bolder now."

Shen Mengyao shook her head helplessly.

Cuiwei stuck out her tongue.

Shen Mengyao wanted to choose a place with beautiful scenery, so the shops along the river were her first choice. It was also very lively here, especially in the summer evenings, when there were many pleasure boats on the river. There were also many diners who wanted to buy some food to eat on the boats.

After choosing for a long time, she picked a shop with a small second floor. Sitting by the window, she could see the extremely beautiful scenery.

"Boss, I want to talk to you about leasing." Shen Mengyao was very excited and turned to say to the shopkeeper.

After shopping for a whole morning, I finally found a shop that I was relatively satisfied with.

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter. Our boss has to do it."

"Then can I meet your boss?" Shen Mengyao asked.

"Of course, of course. Please wait a moment."

The shopkeeper went in to pass on the message. After a while, after receiving the report from the servant, he came out and said, "The boss is not here now. If you are in a hurry, you can go to Mingcui Tower to find him. The private room on the second floor is Tianzi No. 1."

"Okay, I'll help you."

Shen Mengyao and Cuiwei went to Mingcui Tower together. Along the way, she was thinking about how to negotiate with her employer.

When they arrived at Mingcui Tower, they were led to the Tianzi No. 1 private room and knocked on the door to enter.

"Boss, this is Miss Shen who wants to rent your shop." The shopkeeper introduced respectfully.

When Shen Mengyao looked up, she saw a man with a very elegant demeanor sitting in the center. The golden crown on his head was inlaid with precious jades and was extremely luxurious. The clothes he was wearing were also made of the finest material, with dark patterns embroidered with gold thread.

And looking at that face, it seemed very familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere. After Shen Mengyao was stunned for a moment, the man said, "Sister Princess, how come you don't recognize me so quickly?"

Shen Mengyao was shocked. This seemed to be the eldest prince whom she had only heard of but never seen.

When she was young, she grew up in Xingqing Palace. When she was young, he, the eldest prince and the empress saw each other a lot. But later, the empress gave her a princess's mansion and the eldest prince also lived in his own mansion, so they haven't seen each other for a long time.

Moreover, she had been reborn once, so her memories of her past life were inevitably vague. It would be difficult for her to recognize him.

She bowed slightly.

"Meng Yao has met the eldest prince."

The eldest prince smiled and motioned for her to sit down and talk in detail.

"Why does Princess suddenly want to open a restaurant?" the eldest prince asked curiously.

Shen Mengyao answered frankly: "Of course I want to make money." She did not hide her purpose.

However, she felt a little uneasy in her heart. In the past, when it came to the medicinal materials business, the eldest prince had treated her severely and severely, and even used despicable means. He had hoarded those medicinal materials and had not sold them. Now that he appeared in front of her, could it be that he was seeking revenge?

Ever since the Queen Mother rewarded her for saving people from dire straits, her previous medicinal materials business has become an open secret. The eldest prince, who is in the royal family and has access to all kinds of information, there is no way he was unaware of it.

When she was thinking distractedly, the eldest prince spoke again, interrupting her thoughts: "I have always admired your intelligence and wisdom. I am also optimistic about the restaurant you opened!"

Shen Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Thank you very much, Your Highness."

She understood that although the eldest prince had been on guard against and suppressed her before, he was now quite kind, at least in front of her. She decided not to speculate on the eldest prince's true intentions for the time being and to settle the business at hand first.

"It's just..." The eldest prince changed the subject, and looked at her with a strange look in his eyes. He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I am very optimistic about the princess's business. How about this? The rent will be regarded as my investment."
