Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!
Chapter 38 Are you interested in making a bet?
Living alone in that small courtyard is actually quite pleasant, but now the whole family is crowded there, and you run into each other as soon as you step out of the door, so it is inevitable that it is crowded.
Several maids who served were squeezed into the same room and were also complaining!
Meng Yuehuan was gone early in the morning. When Shadow Li Junfeng came back, she was still carrying bags of cosmetics in her hands. It seemed that she had gone out for a stroll, looking very relaxed and contented.
He frowned unhappily: "Nowadays, things are different from before. How can you be so extravagant? These rouge and powder must cost a lot of money."
"What I spent was the pocket money my father left me!" Meng Yuehuan frowned in dissatisfaction. In the past, there weren't these messy people, and the two of them were happy being alone here.
But now, the Zhu family is also crowded here, and sometimes even a few private words can be heard.
Although Li Junfeng knew that it was inappropriate to say this, he still said, "Things are different now. No one will cover you. When you spend all the money, are you going to starve?"
Meng Yuehuan curled her lips and said arrogantly: "You are a grown man, but you let a woman go hungry. Isn't that incompetent?"
"You!" Li Junfeng was very angry.
He didn't expect Meng Yuehuan to say such a thing. They had been facing various difficulties together since they met, but now, she was so inconsiderate of his situation.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to make a comeback, and I will make you glorious when the time comes!"
Meng Yuehuan bit her lip and her tone softened a lot: "Women dress up to please themselves. I just want you to be happy to see me looking pretty."
"I understand your painstaking efforts." Li Junfeng held her in his arms: "Life like this will not last long."
Meng Yuehuan lowered her eyes slightly, and imagined the future with anticipation: "Then when you become a high-ranking official, I will marry you in a grand manner, and give birth to a bunch of children for you. I will take care of you and raise your children, and I will be very happy!"
Li Junfeng nodded gently: "Okay!"
Zhu felt uncomfortable listening to this.
She called Li Junfeng over, lowered her voice, and whispered to him, "You have to think carefully about these things now."
"Mom, I understand. I will never let you suffer too much."
Li Junfeng narrowed his eyes, his gaze was extremely firm.
Zhu sighed, one wrong move and the whole game is lost.
Although the West Market is bustling, its scenery is not as good as that along the river. High-ranking officials and nobles who want to show off their elegance also like to go to the riverside, sit upstairs, and look out the window to see a small boat going downstream.
She wants to open a restaurant. She has picked out a few locations while wandering around these past few days, but she still needs to make some more comparisons. It’s her first time, so she has to be careful!
Going down the river, there was a ferry in front. A merchant ship happened to be docking. The brutal human traffickers waved whips, drove the slaves off the ship, and then locked them in cages.
The faces of several young and strong men were full of dissatisfaction, but it was still of no avail.
A carriage drove over from a distance. After it stopped, an elegant woman got off from it. There were dozens of people following in front and behind.
The woman was very pretty, with red lips and white teeth, and a noble temperament. She was wearing a lavender dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps, like a blooming violet.
She walked to the slave market, her eyes swept over the people in the cages one by one, her red lips parted slightly, her expression cold and emotionless: "That's great! I only need the strongest by my side, you two fight, life or death, and the survivors follow me!"
Although slaves had no rights and were treated like livestock and could be killed at will, doing so was still too cruel.
At this moment, the people around them were no longer their companions. It was someone in the crowd of competitors who took the initiative to fight. Naturally, the others rushed forward and started fighting together!
There were screams coming from the cage, the trapped beast still fighting, the sound was inevitably shrill and uncomfortable to listen to, but the woman was in high spirits.
Shen Mengyao saw the desire for life in the thin man's eyes and felt a little uncomfortable, so she walked forward quickly.
She recognized that woman, she was ***! She was the apple of everyone's eye, she had her own way since she was little, and there was nothing she couldn't get as long as she wanted it.
Even so, she still spoke up for the slaves: "***, this is too cruel, please think twice before doing it."
Although her tone was calm, her firmness revealed unquestionable strength.
*** was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting that someone would dare to step forward to stop her. She slowly turned her head and looked at Shen Mengyao with a sharp gaze. A hint of surprise flashed in her autumn-water eyes, and she asked unhappily.
"Who are you? How dare you meddle in other people's business?"
Shen Mengyao smiled slightly and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I just saw this scene and felt sorry for it. Damn, although these slaves are of humble status, they are also living lives. Killing them like beasts is really inhumane."
*** sneered and said contemptuously: "Humanity? Slave lives are worthless, how can there be any humanity? Don't meddle in other people's business!"
Shen Mengyao couldn't bear it, so she argued with him: "No matter how high or low you are, you only have one life. I hope you will think twice before you act."
*** had never eaten such a turtle before. Seeing those slaves thinking they could be saved, they stopped and became even more angry. He snorted with contempt.
"Do you think she can save you? Don't stop!"
At one command, the slaves started fighting again!
"You!" Shen Mengyao was very angry, and Cuiwei also looked worried, afraid that she would offend the nobleman.
At this moment, a man on horseback came from a distance, his figure was extremely graceful.
Only when she got closer did she realize that the person was Qi Sui'an.
Qi Sui'an stopped his horse in front of them and smiled faintly: "*** always has new ideas for fun."
*** raised his eyes and smiled: "Of course, Qi Sui'an, are you interested in making a bet with me? Let's see who can stay until the end. The loser will have to agree to a request from the other party."
She was completely different from her arrogant and domineering appearance just now. When she raised her eyes and smiled, there was even a shy look on her face like a little girl.
But as a princess, she has always been graceful and arrogant, so this little bit of shyness naturally seems insignificant.
Qi Sui'an sneered and said calmly: "The Queen is so favored by everyone that she is naturally fearless. But if such a thing gets to the ears of those censors, I'm afraid it won't be that simple!"
*** narrowed his eyes: "How could anyone know if you don't tell me?"
"This riverside ferry is not a private place." Qi Sui'an smiled coldly: "If any rumors spread, don't blame me."
