Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Hearing that Mei Ran was in the palace, Meng Xiyue quickly packed up and ran to the main hall.

Seeing Mei Ran standing there safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Mei, are you okay?"

Mei Ran shook her head and looked aside. Only then did Meng Xiyue notice that Yin Wumei was also here.

"Ms. Meng, I didn't expect that you and my sister-in-law are old acquaintances. We are really destined to be together."

"Sister Mei has been divorced and driven out of the Yin Mansion. I'm afraid she is not worthy of being called sister-in-law by Miss Yin."

Thinking of the grievances Mei Ran suffered in the Yin Mansion, she no longer had any good feelings towards the Yin family, not to mention that she and Yin Wumei did not get along well.

"In my heart, she will always be my sister-in-law."

Yin Wumei smiled, as if he didn't understand what she meant, "I'll have someone prepare breakfast for you, so I won't disturb you from reminiscing about the past."

After Yin Wumei left, the two of them let down their guard, "Sister Mei, I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you've been put in jail."

"It's okay. The government was very polite to me and didn't let me suffer any humiliation. When I was released today, the prince also asked the government to give me a document allowing me to open a school."

Speaking of this, Mei Ran's brows relaxed. Opening a school has always been her dream.

But she knew that was out of reach, as Yuanqing Kingdom had never had a school for girls.

No matter how much money she spent, she couldn't impress those officials, and they refused to give in no matter what.

But I didn't expect to get it so easily this time, "Don't forget to thank the prince for me."

"It was a piece of cake for him. He caused you to go to jail, so this is the compensation he deserves."

Meng Xiyue said indifferently that for powerful people like them, these things were not worth mentioning at all.

But Mei Ran shook her head. "It's not as simple as you say. He is a prince. There is the emperor above him, and there are countless eyes. There is no precedent for a woman to open a school. Even if she is a prince, she can't do whatever she wants."

"He must have spent a lot of time on this document, giving gifts and owing favors. Such a great favor cannot be repaid by being locked up for two days in jail."

Meng Xiyue didn't understand the complicated situation in the court, but Mei Ran knew clearly that Prince Qi's life was not that easy.

But she would find a way to repay the favor herself, and she couldn't let Meng Xiyue go against her will and do it for her.

She sighed, "What are your plans for the future?"

"I..." Meng Xiyue was slightly stunned, and smiled bitterly, "Let's just stay in Prince Qi's mansion for now and see what happens one step at a time."

In this capital city, she couldn't escape without Xie Junyi's permission. Even if she raised 20,000 taels to pay him back, it would be of no avail.

More importantly, she herself hasn't made up her mind yet, and she doesn't know if there is still possibility between them.

But she understood that he was already in her heart, and it would take time to give him up.

She thought that she would stay until he really got married, and maybe they could really get married.

If everything is in vain in the end, there is no regret in parting.

"I know you have your own ideas, but no matter how smart a person is, when it comes to feelings, they can't help but get confused."

Mei Ran said earnestly, "He is a prince, he is in a high position and has great power, he is used to being obeyed, you should not be so stubborn in doing things."

"No matter what the final result is, you still have me in the capital."

"Thank you, Sister Mei."

Hearing this, Meng Xiyue couldn't help but tear up, "Sister Mei, Konglong Lane is too unsafe, you should move out. Don't worry about the money, I'll give it to you."

Zhou Chengjing didn't dare to offend Xie Junyi and had been avoiding her these past few days. She was determined to blackmail him no matter what.

"I'm used to living there. It's okay. If you really have money, please help me open a school."

Now that she has the documents, Mei Ran can't wait to find a location to set up the school.

"Okay, I'll cover all the school expenses."

Meng Xiyue's heroic words made the two of them laugh at the same time.

After finishing breakfast, Mei Ran said goodbye.

As soon as she walked out the door, she was stopped by Yin Wumei who was kicked out.

"Sister-in-law."

Mei Ran's expression turned colder, "I'm no longer your sister-in-law."

"Miss Mei."

Yin Wumei had never taken a liking to his elder sister-in-law. If it weren't for his brother's bad character and no girl in the capital was willing to marry him, he wouldn't have married a woman of such a low family background.

Who would have thought that after careful selection, Mei Ran was still a jinx, and she killed her brother not long after she entered the family.

If it weren't for the kindness of the Yin family, they would have allowed her to be trained.

"What's the matter with you?"

Mei Ran was also extremely annoyed with the Yin family and didn't want to say a word to them.

"Miss Mei, even if you left the Yin Mansion, you were once my brother's wife. You are acting so shamelessly now. Aren't you afraid that my brother will not be at peace in his grave?"

"I've been divorced, so whatever I do has nothing to do with your Yin family. What's more, I do things in an open and aboveboard manner, so how can I be undisciplined?"

Mei Ran frowned, realizing that Yin Wumei was looking for trouble.

"I have been alone in the capital for two years, and I have never seen you appear once. I am afraid that what you said this time is not directed at me."

"I don't understand what you are saying. I just feel sorry for my dead brother." Yin Wumei concealed the guilt in his eyes and continued speaking.

"If you still care about the kindness my brother showed you when he was alive, then leave the capital and don't open a school to ruin his reputation."

Hearing this, Mei Ran was so angry that she almost laughed. With the reputation of the young master of the Yin family, was there any need for her to ruin it?

"First, I have been married to the Yin Mansion for two months, and your brother has been beating and scolding me. I can't say he is a good person. Secondly, opening a school is my own business. It has nothing to do with you or the Yin Mansion. I will not leave the capital."

She had endured all the hardships of the past two years, and now that she finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel, how could she give up?

"Yin Wumei, you are far inferior to Yue'er. You will never win the heart of King Qi if you continue like this."

This sentence completely annoyed Yin Wumei. How was she worse than that lowly person?

She was a lady brought up by a wealthy family. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She also caught the eye of the empress and became a female official. Now she is in charge of the palace.

Apart from her attractive appearance, Meng Xiyue could never be compared with me.

"You don't need to worry about where the prince's heart is. I am just kindly reminding you because we were once a family. Since you don't appreciate it, don't regret it when you end up in disgrace in the future."

Since she chose to stand on Meng Xiyue's side, don't blame me for dealing with her.
