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

"It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. You almost died at her hands. It is human nature to want revenge. I won't blame you." Shen Mengyao said lightly.

After a pause, she continued, "It's just... if you want revenge, in addition to having the ability to match it, you must also have the ability to escape unscathed. If you have it, then just go for it."

Luochuan looked up in disbelief. He never expected that Shen Mengyao would say such a thing.

He thought Shen Mengyao would scold him and then drive him out of the house, but her words were full of understanding and tolerance, which made him feel warm in his heart.

"Princess, I..." The cold and hard boy's eyes were slightly red, and he didn't know what to say: "Today I almost got exposed and almost implicated the Princess's Mansion. Princess, do you really not blame me?"

Shen Mengyao looked at him and smiled faintly: "I know you are angry, but what we need to do is to make ourselves stronger. Only when we become stronger will the harm become insignificant."

Luo Chuan nodded heavily, thinking about his past. There were several times when he had found himself in such a situation and wanted to sink completely.

Shen Mengyao's words rekindled his hope. No matter how unbearable the past was, no matter how unattainable the future was, he would give it a try.

"Princess, I understand. I will not let you down again."

Shen Mengyao nodded with relief: "Get up, this kind of thing is not practiced in the Princess's Mansion, don't kneel down at every turn."

It was also the first time that Luochuan knelt on the ground. The hardships in the past had not bent his shoulders or broken his spine. Only at this moment did he truly regret it!

Shen Mengyao then turned to Xiao Qi and said seriously, "Xiao Qi, you've worked hard, too. But I hope you can remember that we are a whole, we prosper together and we suffer together. When you go out, you represent the Princess's Mansion, so no matter what you do, you must put the overall situation first."

Xiao Qi bit her lips tightly and felt for the first time that there was redemption in her life.

"Princess, I understand."

Shen Mengyao looked at the two of them, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Okay, you don't have to feel burdened. Since nothing is wrong, just stay in the Princess's Mansion. I will take care of the ***."

Hearing this, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Mengyao was also a little worried in her heart. She knew that with ***'s vengeful character, he would never let it go so easily. She had to be prepared to deal with it!

It’s better not to let them go out these days, so as to avoid running into people from the Princess’ Mansion!

But she had to go in person to select the store. Unexpectedly, when she was about to leave, Queyue came.

"The princess has selected several shops. Here are the drawings. You can choose whatever you like. If you like any, you can go and see them directly. The prince has already discussed all matters."

Shen Mengyao took it and took a look: "Your Highness has chosen very well, but are these shops near the river? I have been choosing for several days and have never seen such a good one!"

Queyue replied with a smile.

"Of course, these are the private properties of court officials. They bought them first through backdoor channels, and they chose places that were spacious and well-ventilated."

Shen Mengyao quickly picked one out: "Can you take me to see this one? If it's suitable, we can decide on it."

Queyue agreed without hesitation: "Okay."

After getting on the carriage, Shen Mengyao asked, "Where is the prince?"

"For such a small matter, there is naturally no need for the prince to come in person. If you want to see the prince, you can take the initiative to ask for an audience." Queyue said as he turned around and glanced at her.

Shen Mengyao shook her head and smiled faintly: "I just want to thank you, Your Majesty. If there is nothing else, I won't bother you."

Queyue snorted softly: "Whatever you want!"

She didn't know whether Shen Mengyao would feel grateful if she told him that these shops were selected by the prince himself, but the prince had already told her not to tell anyone, so she had no choice but to give up.

We soon arrived at the place. This shop is not only spacious but also well located. It is at the junction of a busy city, which means there is a large flow of people.

Behind the shop is the river that runs through Kyoto. There are lush green trees on the bank and a wooden platform below. Drinking in Linfen, enjoying the breeze by the river in summer, drinking and reciting poems are all excellent choices.

The windows on the second floor are very large. When you open them, you can see the cruise ships on the river and the green mountains in the distance. It is truly a Chinese landscape painting, beautiful beyond words.

The shop has been renovated. Shen Mengyao also likes this style. It is all natural wood color and has no paint. There is also a pergola in front of the door. Boiling water and selling tea can also bring in income.

The windows are large, and the sliding wooden doors on the second floor are covered with paper. The light is excellent, and the warm sunlight shines in, which is very beautiful.

Shen Mengyao immediately decided: "This is the one. Please thank the prince for me."

"The prince also thinks this family is good. It seems that the princess and the prince really have a tacit understanding." Queyue smiled.

Shen Mengyao's face was calm, neither embarrassed nor annoyed: "Miss Queyue, please stop teasing me. When I finish running the shop, I will treat the prince to a meal! To thank him for his help."

Queyue pursed her lips and said nothing more!

Although the shop does not need to be changed basically, it still needs some decoration!

After she returned, she looked through her dowry: "I remember bringing a few paintings by famous artists from the palace, framing them, and hanging them in the box!"

"Princess, I was the one who took care of these before. Let me do it." Cuiwei smiled helplessly and accurately found the most precious scroll from the bottom of the box!

These were originally hanging in the study, but one day Shen Mengyao ran into Li Junfeng, who wanted to sell them, so she took them back.

It would be a shame if these paintings were not available for people to appreciate!

After taking out the paintings she needed, she took Luochuan and Xiaoqi out to purchase more. There were not enough decorations here and they were not elegant enough.

Xiao Qi followed behind her, carrying all the vases and paintings she had bought into the car, counting the money on her fingers.

"I also bought flowers and these things before, the total is 18 taels and 5 cents of silver."

"Wow, you calculate so fast." Shen Mengyao was surprised and turned around.

She has been in charge of the household affairs for so many years and is best at accounting. Now that she has calmed down and done a careful calculation, she finds that it is exactly as she said.

Xiao Qi raised his head proudly: "My mother once said that other things can be taken lightly, but money matters cannot be taken lightly."

Shen Mengyao gave a thumbs up: "Your mother is right."

Xiao Qi was very nervous at first, but when he heard Shen Mengyao say this, he immediately smiled. His white teeth were particularly conspicuous against his dark skin, and his smile was brilliant.

"I thought the princess would say my mother was vulgar and only cared about money."
