Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!

"Shen Mengyao, you have already married into the Li family, so you are a member of the Li family! What can a princess do? I am your elder, and you should behave yourself!"

She gritted her teeth and shouted angrily, but it was obvious that she was a little timid.

Shen Mengyao sneered silently: "Does the mother-in-law dare to say this to the Queen Mother and His Majesty?"

When Zhu heard her mention the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, her face turned pale instantly.

Although the Queen Mother was dissatisfied with this marriage and no longer asked about Shen Mengyao openly, she secretly sent people to inquire about her situation several times.

If this really gets to the Queen Mother, the Li family will probably be in great trouble!

"Why should we bring such a small matter to the Queen Mother?"

She stammered, "I just saw that you didn't move for a long time, and I was worried, so I became anxious..."

Shen Mengyao looked indifferent: "Now that mother-in-law sees that I'm fine, can I go back? The dinner is about to start, and we can't delay."

Zhu felt that Shen Mengyao seemed like a different person and didn't know how to respond for a moment. Suddenly, she remembered that she came here to find out where this bitch went in the afternoon and whether she had anything to do with Qi Suian.

Her expression turned cold again: "Why are you in such a hurry? I forgot to ask you, where did you go this afternoon? Why didn't I see you?"

Shen Mengyao had already guessed her intention and said calmly, "I have been resting in my room. What happened?"

"Rest in the room? Is there anyone who can testify for you?"

Zhu asked coldly, "I heard someone say that you secretly ran to the backyard of the mansion. Is that true?"

Shen Mengyao calmly asked, "Oh? I went to the backyard. Is it a big deal?"

Zhu choked.

She originally thought that Shen Mengyao would feel guilty, but now that she was so calm and composed, she didn't know how to question her.

She asked sternly, "Someone said that you were caught having an affair with the Regent in the backyard. Are you still trying to deny it with sweet words?"

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Shen Mengyao's eyes.

This old woman really has no patience at all.

She quickly pretended to be shocked: "My mother-in-law suspects me of committing adultery?"

Seeing this, Zhu was about to continue questioning, but Shen Mengyao said sadly with red eyes:

"I married into your Li family, and all the household expenses were paid from my dowry. Li Junfeng suffered from a hidden illness and was unable to move, so I was left a widow for three years. I had no complaints, but now my mother-in-law slandered me without any evidence?"

The servants who came with Zhu and the maids in her courtyard were all shocked when they heard this.

Because Shen Mengyao had been childless since she married into the mansion, they had been discussing whether the lady was in poor health, but they never thought that it was their own young master who had problems.

What woman can bear not having consummated her marriage for three years? Madam, you are so pitiful!

Zhu was even more stunned. She knew that her son had been using this as an excuse to not consummate his marriage with Shen Mengyao, but hadn't this bitch been hiding this from her before? Why did she suddenly reveal it?

"You, you are talking nonsense! Feng'er..."

Without waiting for her to speak, Shen Mengyao resolutely pulled out the hairpin on her head and said, "I have never done anything to let the Li family down. If mother-in-law thinks that I really committed adultery with the Regent, then let the midwife come and check!"

Zhu's face turned pale in an instant.

If the midwife came, wouldn't people outside be talking about Feng'er being inhumane? !

She took a step back, her voice trembling, and forced a smile, "Child, your mother-in-law is just asking you a question, why are you taking it so seriously?"

Shen Mengyao didn't give her this chance to back down, and asked coldly, "This matter concerns my reputation, why can't I be serious about it?"

Zhu groaned inwardly. She just wanted to scare Shen Mengyao, but who knew it would turn out like this?

Just then, footsteps were heard outside.

Li Junfeng rushed over, looking like he just realized that something was wrong. "Mother? What happened? Why are you in Mengyao Courtyard?"

Zhu stammered and could not speak, but Shen Mengyao looked at Li Junfeng coldly: "Mother heard that I committed adultery with the Regent, so I asked her to ask the midwife to check whether I really did something shameless."

Hearing this, Li Junfeng quietly clenched his fists.

His mother is really good at making trouble instead of helping! She only asked her to test it, but who asked her to speak out directly and force Shen Mengyao into a corner? !

But fortunately, Shen Mengyao didn't seem to doubt anything, so there would be another chance later.

He didn't doubt at all that Shen Mengyao was lying. After all, if she really lost her virginity, she would not be so calm.

"Mengyao, my mother is wrong in this matter. She is used to believing such rumors."

He quickly pretended to be guilty. "Don't be angry. I will talk to her. If we really ask the midwife to come and make a big fuss, where will we put our dignity?"

Shen Mengyao twitched her lips and said, "My husband, you are joking. Only when the midwife comes can I save my dignity. Otherwise, everyone will think that I am having an affair with a man outside my family."

Li Junfeng clenched his fists even tighter and could only smile and coax her: "Mengyao, isn't it enough that I believe in your innocence? I know you have been wronged, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

Shen Mengyao didn't necessarily want to pressure them on this matter. Although she was sure that Li Junfeng would not dare to let the midwife come, there was no guarantee that the matter would become difficult to resolve.

She slowed down her tone, and with red eyes, she pretended to be wronged and said, "It's good that my husband believes me. I'm just afraid that you have misunderstood me. Even if you are a eunuch, you are the only one in my heart, and I will never have anything to do with others."

The veins on Li Junfeng's forehead throbbed.

No matter which man is called a eunuch, he will feel unhappy, but he can only accept it with a smile.

"I know your wife's feelings... You are the only one in my heart. Please change your clothes first. Mother and I will go to the front to entertain the guests."

After saying some words to comfort Shen Mengyao, he took Zhu away.

Shen Mengyao watched the two people leave and finally loosened her clenched fists. Her palms were already wet with sweat.

If Li Junfeng really dared to call a midwife, then her affairs would no longer be concealed, but she was sure he wouldn't dare.

It was a risky move, but luckily she made the right bet.

After changing her clothes, Shen Mengyao went to the front hall.

She was quite nervous, thinking she would meet Qi Sui'an again, but when she went over, others were saying that he had left because of something urgent.

Shen Mengyao then breathed a sigh of relief and began to entertain the guests as if nothing had happened.

The banquet was over and it was already late at night.

Shen Mengyao went back to her room and planned to go to sleep. When she entered the room, she saw that the window was open and there was something green on the table...

She went forward to take a closer look, and her head suddenly exploded.

That was the bellyband she was wearing today!

There was a note under the bellyband, with the handwriting strong and powerful: [Tomorrow night at midnight, at the corner gate of the backyard].

Is this what Qi Suian left behind?

What is he trying to do!
