Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!
Chapter 5 My room happens to be in need of a foot-washing maid
Shen Mengyao's face turned pale, and veins bulged on her hand as she clutched the note.
Could it be that he still wants to maintain this kind of relationship? !
Even if Li Junfeng was a beast, she was still his wife. If this got out, how would she put her face? !
But if I don't go, who knows what cruel means he will use?
He hadn't made such an excessive request in his previous life... What did he think of her as? His substitute for Bai Yueguang?
Shen Mengyao gritted her teeth and burned the note. Looking at the white liquid on the bellyband in her hand, her face became even uglier. She picked up the scissors next to her and shredded the note into pieces, then burned them all together.
She didn't sleep the whole night, and when she finally fell asleep, she dreamed that he was pinching her waist and tormenting her.
The next morning, her eyes were dark blue and her mind was in a state of confusion.
There were footsteps outside, and her personal maid, Beatrice, came in hurriedly: "Madam, this month's account book is ready, would you like to take a look?"
Shen Mengyao rubbed her temple with her hand: "Give it to me."
Bi Cui respectfully handed over the account book, and Shen Mengyao took a quick look and found that the mansion had spent more than three thousand taels of silver last month!
This is not a small amount of money. The annual expenditure of an ordinary well-off family is only about twenty taels! Moreover, the general's household expenses all come from her dowry!
In her previous life, she never cared about how much money the mansion spent and generously returned her dowry to the public. But this scumbag and bitch harmed her so much, is she really going to indulge them?
After a careful look, she saw that all the big expenses were spent on Meng Yuehuan. Last month alone, she made three sets of clothes and a set of gold-plated jewelry.
Her eyes turned cold, and she said to Bitui, "Help me change my clothes."
Beatrice hurriedly obeyed and changed her clothes. Shen Mengyao ordered, "Call the people we brought from home and go to Miss Meng's yard."
Bi Cui was puzzled but didn't say much. She called over all the people who had been given as dowry to Shen Mengyao by the Duke's Mansion.
Shen Mengyao took them and went straight to Meng Yuehuan's yard.
At that time, Meng Yuehuan had just gotten up and was dressing up.
"Girl, you look really good in this headdress."
The maidservant next to her flattered with a smile: "Only a person as noble as you are worthy of such a noble headdress. You look like a mistress of a house."
Meng Yuehuan looked pleased with herself: "This was made by the old craftsman of Duobao Pavilion, how can it not look good?"
But when she thought of the maid's next words, she felt very unwilling.
Didn't Shen Mengyao rely on her good family background to marry into the general's mansion? No one else could compare to her!
Fortunately, she won't have to jump around for long. When Brother Junfeng succeeds, she will be the real mistress of the general's mansion!
She was planning on her carefree future when she suddenly heard footsteps outside.
Then, the door was kicked open heavily.
Shen Mengyao came in with her people, and her face became even colder when she saw the luxurious furnishings in her room.
Apart from the head ornaments and jewelry, the things in this room are all priceless treasures, some of which are even her dowry!
In her previous life, she didn't even notice it and thought that they were all relatives and it wasn't a big deal to use some money... She was so stupid!
"You...sister-in-law? Why are you here?"
Seeing her like this, Meng Yuehuan was obviously a little flustered, and said with a forced smile: "Isn't it inappropriate for you to break into my room like this?"
Shen Mengyao suppressed her anger and sneered at her, "Miss Meng, what you said is interesting. I am the mistress of the general's mansion, and you are just a distant relative living here. Can it be that I can't come to your house?"
Meng Yuehuan's face became even uglier.
Shen Mengyao had never acted like this in front of her before. Did she take the wrong medicine today?
But the facts were indeed as she said. For a moment, Meng Yuehuan did not dare to contradict her and could only smile and ask, "So what are you doing here, sister-in-law?"
Shen Mengyao pursed her lips and said, "It's nothing serious, but I think it's not right for a daughter of a criminal who eats and lives for free to spend my money in the mansion and act like a pampered young lady."
After saying that, she looked at the servants behind her and said, "Move all these things back to my yard."
Meng Yuehuan's face turned pale: "No, no! These things are... all given to me by my cousin and aunt! Why do you take them away!"
Obviously, Junfeng and the old lady agreed that she could spend the money in the mansion as she pleased. Is Shen Mengyao crazy? How could she treat her like this?
"The family gave it to you? Don't you know, Miss Meng, that the money in the family was embezzled from my dowry?"
Shen Mengyao sneered silently: "I have no right to control how Miss Meng wants to spend the Li family's money. My money is not for you to waste at will."
"What are you standing there for? Move it!"
The servant behind her finally came to his senses, and was overjoyed to see that his mistress had finally grown strong.
The general's mansion usually bullies the young lady, especially this "cousin". She spends the young lady's dowry and has the nerve to pretend to be wronged, as if she is being treated harshly by the young lady. I can't stand her for a long time!
Those things were carried out one by one. Meng Yuehuan felt as if she was being cut by a knife. She wanted to rush over to grab them, but looking at the people behind Shen Mengyao, she didn't have the courage to do so.
She almost crushed the handkerchief in her hand, stepped back and fiercely pulled the maid beside her: "What are you standing there for! Go and call my cousin and aunt to make the decision for me!"
Not long after, Li Junfeng came hurriedly.
Meng Yuehuan cried and looked like she had suffered enough injustice: "Brother Junfeng..."
Li Junfeng's heart was broken when he saw his beloved in such a pitiful state. He quickly hugged her tightly and said, "Don't be afraid. What happened? Tell me who bullied you and I will definitely take care of it for you!"
He brought Meng Yuehuan into the room and was about to scold her when he saw Shen Mengyao looking at him with a smile.
Li Junfeng's expression froze.
Meng Yuehuan wiped her tears, her eyes red as bloodshot: "Brother Junfeng, Huanhuan doesn't know what she did wrong. Sister-in-law came over early in the morning and wanted to take away the things in my yard. She also said that I was the daughter of a criminal who ate and lived for free, and wanted to kick me out..."
She cried hesitantly: "Huan Huan knows that she is an eyesore and unpopular, she just wants a place to stay. Please sister-in-law, give me a way out. As long as I can have a bite to eat, even if I have to be a servant in the mansion, it will be fine."
Li Junfeng frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I let you be a servant?"
He was about to scold Shen Mengyao, but Shen Mengyao said slowly, "Okay, it just so happens that I still need a foot-washing maid in my room. It's rare that my sister is willing to do it, so come on."
"But we have to calculate your previous extravagant expenses in the mansion. Do you plan to use your monthly salary to make up for it, or let your brother Junfeng make up for my dowry?"
