My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

Prime Minister's House.

Prime Minister Mei and his family were waiting outside the gate early in the morning.

The son-in-law is a prince. Although he is not very favored by the emperor, he is a prince after all, and the emperor dare not neglect him.

"It's so late, and he hasn't come yet. Could it be that Prince Jing doesn't want to go back home with Xue'er?" Aunt Li rubbed her calves, which were a little sore from standing.

"Shut up!" Prime Minister Mei scolded in a low voice.

"That's right. Father, you know that Prince Jing is very positive about this marriage..." The speaker was a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old, Mei Zhihua, the daughter of Li.

"You still have something to say?! Remember this, you are not allowed to mention the Crown Prince in front of Prince Jing later!" Prime Minister Mei was overwhelmed.

"Prince Jing may not come yet." Mei Zhihua muttered softly.

The Prime Minister's wife, Mrs. Shen, had been looking ahead, and seemed not to hear what they were talking about. She hoped more than anyone else that Prince Jing would come back with her daughter, otherwise, where would Xue'er's face be, and where would the Prime Minister's Mansion be.

Her daughter's reputation was not very good, and she did not expect her daughter to have any status as the mistress in Prince Jing's Mansion. She only hoped that Prince Jing would not make things too difficult for her.

"Here it comes, father. It's the carriage from Prince Jing's Mansion!" Prime Minister Mei's only son, Mei Jiayun, breathed a sigh of relief. The carriage finally arrived.

Mei Jiayun was born to Prime Minister Mei's first wife, whose mother died of illness at an early age. Later, Prime Minister Mei took Concubine Shen as his second wife, and when Mei Xueer was born, she became the eldest daughter.

Because of this, Li was very resentful. They were both concubines, and she felt that she was younger and prettier than Shen, and could please the master.

But the master refused to let her be his wife, so her daughter Mei Zhihua could only be a concubine who could not rise to prominence. Moreover, she was two months younger than Mei Xueer, so she could not even be considered the eldest daughter.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the mansion gate, and Prime Minister Mei and everyone in the mansion knelt down together, "Welcome Prince Jing, welcome Princess Jing."

Cui Hongjing jumped off the carriage, waved his dark blue sleeves, stepped forward and helped Prime Minister Mei, "Prime Minister, please stand up."

The Mei family members slowly stood up and when they looked up, they saw Mei Xueer jumping off the carriage on one foot and limping over.

Cui Hongjing had no intention of helping her and went straight into the mansion.

A gloating smile appeared on Li and Mei Zhihua's faces. Mei Jiayun glared at the mother and daughter, and the two of them tried hard to stop laughing.

"The princess's feet?" Shen felt distressed and wanted to go forward to help. However, she remembered that her daughter had never let her touch her feet before, so she shrank back and dared not go forward.

"Mother, you should still call me Xue'er. I will always be your daughter." Mei Xue'er extended her hand to Shen and held her.

Happiness came too suddenly. Shen was completely stunned when she saw the little hand on her arm.

Is this still her daughter?

When did her daughter become so caring and when did she speak to her so gently?

Mei Xueer continued to comfort her: "I'm fine. It was just that a wild dog came from somewhere last night and brought a stone over, which happened to hit my foot."

The stone that the wild dog is chewing?

Cui Hongjing had very good hearing. When he heard what the rag-tag guy behind him said, he stamped his feet and gritted his teeth so hard that it hurt.

Mei Xueer deliberately said loudly and provocatively, "Mother, you don't know, that wild dog is very powerful. The beast looks like a human, but it is wicked at heart. It is also dressed up in fancy clothes, just like a prostitute in a brothel..."

"Xue'er!" Shen quickly covered Mei Xue'er's mouth, fearing that she would say something even more outrageous.

Mei Zhihua at the side couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Big sister is worthy of being the big sister, she speaks really, as always, unrestrained."

"Shut up!" Mei Jiayun glared at Mei Zhihua again.

Mei Zhihua was unwilling, but she didn't dare to disobey him, so she pursed her lips and kept silent.

Mei Xueer looked at Cui Hongjing, whose figure was trembling slightly in front of her, and knew that he was extremely angry, so she decided to stop while she was ahead and did not continue.

The dream she had last night reappeared in her mind.

The crimson lanterns, filled with an atmosphere of ambiguity and decadence, illuminated the three large characters "Cuihongyuan".

At the door, a group of chirping women were chirping to attract customers.

"Sir, come here!"

"Sir, come and have a look. This is our new waiter. Look at his figure and looks..." The madam said as she pulled a shy waiter over and pushed him towards a fat, greasy middle-aged man with a huge mole on his face.

"Hehe, it's a good thing that mom still remembers that I like this kind of thing." The man laughed obscenely and stretched out his hand to lift the young man's chin, "Well, this one today is not bad...ah! Damn, why is there such a big scar on the face...Mom, you are not a decent person. You use this kind of disfigured thing to perfunctory me..."

"Haha, sir, when you do your job, just don't look at his face." The madam smiled.

The man pushed the young man to the ground and beat him violently, "You look like this and you still come out to scare people, I will beat you to death..."

Cui Hongjing, who was dressed as a young waiter, burst into tears and hugged the man's legs pitifully, "Sir, please take me. Although my face is flawed, my kung fu is very good. If you don't want me, my mother will beat me to death..."

His tears could not stop flowing, leaving colorful streaks on the thick powder on his bruised face.

So lovely.

"Get lost!" the man kicked over.

Cui Hongjing once again crawled over pitifully and hugged his thighs. He looked so pitiful...

Damn it, it’s too eye-catching. Even in her dream, Mei Xueer couldn’t bear to watch it.

"Xue'er, what are you laughing at?" I heard Shen's worried words.

Mei Xueer suddenly came back to reality and was immediately met with Cui Hongjing's face, which was as dark as it could be, as he turned back and glared at her.

She quickly suppressed the smile on her face and said, "No, nothing, let's go."

Although Cui Hongjing didn't know what she was thinking, he knew it was definitely not a good thing.

He gave her a warning look that said "If you go crazy again, I will kill you", and then he followed Prime Minister Mei into the mansion with a cold face.

Prime Minister Mei naturally wanted Prince Jing and Princess Jing to sit in the main seat, but Mei Xueer insisted on switching seats with Prime Minister Mei. She wanted to sit with Shen.

She didn't want to sit with the top courtesan of Cuihongyuan.

As for Li and Mei Zhihua, they were just a concubine and a concubine's daughter. Under such circumstances, they were naturally not qualified to sit in the main hall.

Prime Minister Mei looked at Mei Xueer and asked, "Have you applied medicine to the princess's feet?"

"My daughter is fine. I'll ask my mother to accompany me to get some medicine later."

Prime Minister Mei nodded and turned his gaze to Cui Hongjing.

But Cui Hongjing just sipped his tea and said nothing.

Prime Minister Mei could see that he was very dissatisfied with his princess.

He knew his own daughter well, and he also knew how this marriage came about, so he didn't say anything.

He has already lost face by being able to sit here and face Cui Hongjing as a father-in-law.

"My daughter is young and naive. Please bear with me in the future, Your Highness." Prime Minister Mei stood up and saluted.

"No need to be so polite, Prime Minister." Cui Hongjing nodded slightly.

Cui Hongjing did not call him "father-in-law" but "prime minister", which made the Mei family quite embarrassed.

Mei Xueer looked at Cui Hongjing coldly and said, "Father, mother, brother, don't worry. The prince treats his daughter very well!"

He even named his daughter's yard himself!

However, the "Cuihongyuan" has now been given back to the Dog Prince.

This dog prince is really patient. He received this huge gift but acted as if nothing happened.

Cui Hongjing: How on earth do you think that I treat you "very well"? You will never expect me to treat you well in this life.

He turned to Mei Jiayun and said, "Master Mei, what do you think about the case that your Jingzhao Prefecture Law Department transferred to the Ministry of Justice a few days ago?"

Mei Jiayun quickly responded, "I have been thinking about how to report this matter to His Majesty. In fact, I have always felt that the testimonies of the witnesses in this case are suspicious, and the evidence is also suspicious."

Cui Hongjing frowned, "If you have doubts, why did you close the case and report it to the Ministry of Justice?"

Mei Jiayun hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, stood up and knelt, "I am guilty! I knew that this case was full of doubts, but I was afraid of the powerful and closed the case against my conscience. For the past month, I have been unable to sleep at night and have been tortured every day. I also beg the prince to let me redeem myself and participate in the re-investigation of this case."
