Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

"What do you mean?"

Meng Qingxiang was puzzled. What kind of person is Prince Qi? He has all the women he wants, so why would he fall in love with her?

Cui actually felt that Princess Rong'an was worrying too much, but since the road had been paved for them, how could they not go?

"Master, in fact, as long as Yue'er is married off, this problem will be solved easily."

"Get married?" Meng Qingxiang stood up suddenly. "She...she has been in Prince Qi's mansion for so long, how can she still be innocent? Who would be willing to marry her?"

"Besides, you know her personality. She is arrogant and doesn't want to be someone's concubine."

"This is a difficult matter, but we have to do it. This is the only and best way out."

Cui said anxiously, "Now that Yue'er is married, Princess Rong'an will be relieved and will not embarrass us. Even if she is still a little dissatisfied with Yue'er, she is targeting Yue'er's husband's family and has nothing to do with our Meng family."

"Plus, Yue'er has a bad reputation now. If she stays at home, it will affect the reputations of the other girls. It will be hard to say whether they will get married in the future."

"Marry her off, and we'll all have less worries, right?"

"It's easy for you to say that, but where can I find someone to marry her?"

Who would be willing to marry such an impure woman?

"Let's spread the word first and see if there's anyone interested in Yue'er. If that doesn't work, we can find her a man from a poor family and give her more dowry. No one will care."

Even if you can't find a good family, you can always find a bad one. After all, Meng Xiyue still has that face.

"It's not impossible, but if the prince knew, would he be unhappy?"

Meng Qingxiang still understood the man's thoughts. Even if he no longer liked Meng Xiyue, she was once his after all, and he might not want Meng Xiyue to marry someone else.

"Master, don't worry. This is what the princess said. The prince is with her, so we don't need to worry about her."

Meng Qingxiang widened his eyes and asked in surprise.

"This is what Princess Rong An meant."

"Yes, that's why we say this is our only way out."

Before Meng Xiyue came back, someone came to deliver a message.

The Meng family must make sure that Meng Xiyue is married off before Princess Rong'an and Prince Qi get married.

"Okay, then start looking for her tomorrow."

Meng Qingxiang no longer had any hesitation.

Qi Wangfu Study

Yin Wumei was kneeling on the ground, her body trembling slightly. She had been kneeling for an hour.

The prince was painting the whole time and didn't even glance at her.

She understood that it was probably Nanny Ji who told the prince about her trying to drive Meng Xiyue away.

This Nanny Ji is becoming more and more out of control. When the princess enters the mansion, she will definitely drive her away.

When people get old, their brains become confused and they can’t tell the difference between the camps.

She had never kneeled like this since she came to Prince Qi's Mansion. Now her legs were numb and her body was shaking. She was almost unable to hold on.

Thinking of this, she couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground.

"My lord, forgive me."

Her movement finally caught Xie Junyi's attention. He looked at the wrong stroke and frowned slightly.

He put the pen down heavily and ordered in a deep voice, "Take this painting out and burn it."

"Yes."

Ziye put away the painting and hurriedly left the study.

Prince Qi leaned back in his chair, looked at Yin Wumei who was kneeling on the ground, and asked.

"How long have you been in the palace?"

"Your Highness, it's been five years." Yin Wumei replied softly.

"Five years is not a short time. You have been devoted to me all these years."

"This is what a servant should do."

Yin Wumei was delighted, thinking that the prince had finally seen her good qualities.

But the next words from Prince Qi instantly made her feel cold to the bone.

"But why can't you tell who the master is now?"

"What do you mean, my lord? I am devoted to you and loyal to you, and I will never have second thoughts."

Yin Wumei replied in a trembling voice, her eyes filled with tears and she felt extremely aggrieved.

Xie Junyi's expression did not change at all, "I know exactly what you are thinking."

"Yin Wumei, you were given by our mother. As long as you behave yourself and don't do anything wrong, when the princess enters the palace, she will give you a status."

"The servant knows."

Yin Wumei lowered his eyes, having a bad feeling in his heart.

"But now, you have violated my bottom line. This palace can no longer accommodate you."

"Your Majesty?"

Yin Wumei looked up in disbelief. She had thought of all kinds of punishments, but the only thing she had never thought of was being kicked out of the house.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Wumei is already a member of Prince Qi's Mansion. If he leaves the palace, he will have no way to survive."

"Since you have been in Prince Qi's mansion for five years, I will explain the situation to Lord Yin and leave you a chance to live."

Yin Wumei's body softened. It turned out that he had planned this all along. "My Lord, Wumei has been devoted to you for the past five years. Do you have to be so cruel just because I insulted Miss Meng a few times when she left the mansion?"

Xie Junyi looked up at her, with a thick layer of frost in his eyes.

"Your collusion with Cui Panxi indirectly led to Mei Ran's death. Although you cannot be convicted, you cannot escape this sin."

"Mei Ran brought this upon herself. If she had not had an unclear relationship with Mr. Li, how could she have hanged herself for him?"

Regarding this matter, Yin Wumei didn't feel that he had done anything wrong at all.

"When my eldest brother died, she deserved to die. Our Yin family was kind and gave her a chance to live, but she refused to live and did things that insulted the Yin family. She brought all this upon herself."

"And I didn't do anything. I just made her and Li Zhi's affair public."

Hearing this, Xie Junyi sneered, "You are the daughter of Jingzhao Yinfu, don't you know that you need evidence for everything? You dare to slander someone without any evidence, isn't that wrong?"

Meng Xiyue was right. In the eyes of these high and mighty people, human life was far less important than the reputation they cared about.

His eyes were sharp, and he stood up and walked in front of Yin Wumei.

"Also, when did I order you to escort Yue'er out of the palace? You even dared to look through her bag. You are so brave."

"Your Highness, I am the housekeeper of the mansion. Miss Meng is no longer a member of Prince Qi's mansion. If she wants to leave, I will naturally go to see her off. As for searching her bag, it is also to protect the interests of the prince's mansion."

Yin Wumei dared to do this, so he naturally had his own excuse, "There are too many valuable things in Mengxi Garden. If they are taken away by someone with ulterior motives, it will also be a loss for the palace."

"If I have misunderstood, the things in Mengxi Garden were originally meant for Miss Meng. They are hers even if she is not in the palace. I will deliver them to her tomorrow."

"I never knew you were so eloquent before."

Xie Junyi's smile did not reach his eyes. "But no matter how many excuses you make, they are useless. I am telling you this for the sake of our mother, so that you can understand the reasons, not to give you a chance to quibble."

"I will send someone to take you back to Yin Mansion tomorrow."
