Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

"Don't worry, Sister Mei, I will definitely rescue you."

After Meng Xiyue finished speaking, she left the cell and came to Prince Qi's mansion, but was stopped outside the door and was told that the prince was busy and would not see guests.

She was stunned for a moment. The guard knew her and was acting so deliberately today, obviously because he had received orders.

And who else could it be except Xie Junyi?

"Hey, isn't this the distinguished guest of our Prince Qi's Mansion? Why can't he get in?"

Just when Meng Xiyue was about to leave, Ji Nianyin walked out of the mansion, looking gloating.

"It's only been a short time, and you've been kicked out of the palace. How pitiful."

Meng Xiyue was too lazy to pay attention to her now. She turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by her.

She said with shame and anger, "You are an abandoned person now. What qualifications do you have to be so arrogant to me? I now order you to apologize to me."

Thinking about the past few days when she went to apologize to her every day, but she refused to forgive her and deliberately humiliated her, she wanted to pin Meng Xiyue to the ground and make her kowtow and admit her mistake.

"Jin Ji Yin, when will you grow up with your brain?"

Seeing her doing such a stupid thing in public, Meng Xiyue just wanted to say that she was far inferior to Yin Wumei.

At least Yin Wumei's superficial work was impeccable and everyone praised him.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean for you to let me go. Are you sure you want to throw a tantrum in front of so many people?"

Hearing this, Jin Yiyin noticed that the passers-by around them had stopped and watched the two people arguing.

Her face instantly turned red, and she shouted at the crowd, "What are you looking at? If you don't leave, I'll catch you all and beat you with a stick."

As the crowd left, Meng Xiyue also left, leaving Jin Yinyin standing there, jumping in anger.

Two figures were standing in the shadows not far away, taking in the entire situation.

"She wants to be beaten with a stick, right? Then first give her ten strokes of the stick, and then make her kneel in the courtyard for three hours."

"Yes."

Meng Xiyue ran around outside all day but didn't see anyone. She returned to Konglong Lane in a somewhat depressed mood.

In this capital city where someone has absolute power over everything, she is completely helpless.

"Miss, shall I get you some food?"

Meng Xiyue hasn't eaten for a day, Qianxiang said worriedly.

Meng Xiyue shook her head, walked straight into the house and locked herself in.

She realized that only compromise could save Mei Ran.

For those who have no power and influence, they are like ants in this capital city. No matter how hard they struggle, it is useless.

Late at night, the harassing knocking on the door occurred again. Qianxiang tried to drive him away from outside, but the drunk man seemed determined and kept banging on the door.

The neighbors around seemed not to hear anything and continued to sleep.

Listening to the sounds of people banging on the door, Meng Xiyue curled up and trembled constantly. She couldn't bear it after just two days. She didn't dare to think about how Mei Ran had survived the past two years.

She didn't know how long it had been, but it seemed that the people outside were finally tired, and the banging on the door stopped abruptly. But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the door was suddenly pushed open.

She subconsciously picked up the candlestick on the table, and when she saw who was standing at the door, she could no longer hold back her tears.

Seeing her like this, no matter how angry Xie Junyi was, it all disappeared, and he held her in his arms to comfort her.

"It's okay. I have already captured that man. No one will harass you anymore."

"I'm sorry, I made you suffer. I failed to protect you last time. I won't do that again in the future."

"Both the Wang family and the Liang family were demoted, and Wang Lingjiao was sent back to her hometown by the Wang family. I will not let anyone bully you."

Xie Junyi kept assuring her that he would never let her suffer any injustice again.

Finally, he said, "Follow me back to the palace."

Meng Xiyue nodded, "Okay, then let Sister Mei go."

Xie Junyi's eyes darkened, and then he replied, "She will be released early tomorrow morning. She didn't suffer any hardship in prison."

"Well, let's go back."

After Meng Xiyue finished speaking, she felt her body lighten and she was hugged by Xie Junyi.

She wanted to struggle, but all she got was a low shout, "Don't move."

After being beaten with ten boards, Jin Yiyin was still kneeling in the mansion when he saw his extremely noble prince returning home with a woman in his arms.

She had never seen such careful care like that before.

Meng Xiyue, she came back after only two days away.

She gnashed her teeth in anger, but the pain in her body made her realize that she could not act on impulse anymore, otherwise she would be the next one to be kicked out of the palace.

"Go to sleep."

Xie Junyi put her on the bed and comforted her softly.

Meng Xiyue nodded and closed her eyes. The fatigue from the past few days made her fall asleep instantly.

But her tight grip on the hand showed her inner uneasiness. Xie Junyi tried to take his hand back, but she only held it tighter.

He sighed, sat down by the window, and put his hand gently on her furrowed brow.

Should I not have brought her to the capital? But what can I do? From the first moment I saw her, I fell in love with her.

He was reluctant to let go and wanted to keep her firmly by his side.

Even if she had not signed the indenture contract, Meng Qingxiang's actions would not have been enough to warrant beheading and exile. However, he still despicably tricked her into signing the indenture contract, hoping to keep her by his side.

From Jiang Chubai's experience, he knew that she didn't want to be a concubine, but her status and position made it impossible for her to be his wife.

He wanted to integrate her into the circle of young ladies in Beijing so that he could get her a better position in the future, but it seemed that he only pushed her further away.

She would rather live in that simple Konglong Lane than go back to the palace, and he was really panicked.

He deliberately had Mei Ran arrested by the government, leaving her without support, and allowed the bandits in Konglong Lane to harass her, just to allow her to return to the palace smoothly.

But when he saw her trembling with fear, he regretted for the first time that he had used such a despicable method.

"Don't ever think about leaving me again."

He placed her palm against his face. No one knew that he had been staying up all night for the past two days, guarding outside her room.

When Meng Xiyue woke up, Xie Junyi had already gone to attend the morning court.

"Asaka?"

"Miss." Zhiyue pushed the door open and walked in. "Qianxiang hasn't had a good rest these past two days, so I'll let her continue to sleep. I'll serve you, Miss."

Qian Xiang has indeed suffered a lot in the past two days. Meng Xiyue nodded and said, "Then let her have a good rest. You help me dress up. I need to go out for a while."

"Where are you going, miss?"

Zhiyue asked as she dressed her.

"I'm going to pick up Sister Mei. The prince said she will be released today."

"Then there is no need for Miss Mei to make a trip. Miss Mei is already waiting at the palace."
