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

The door opened, and Meng Yuehuan threw herself into Li Junfeng's arms, her eyes red as she sobbed, "When will this kind of life end? I am a lady from an official family after all, and I have to be servile to others every day. What's wrong with that? Do you know how wronged I am?"

Li Junfeng sighed, put his arms around her slender waist lovingly, and held her in his arms.

"Just bear with it. She's very powerful. We are counting on her to rescue your father."

Meng Yuehuan sniffled.

"If my father can't be rescued, I will be the daughter of a criminal for the rest of my life. How can I marry you? Brother Junfeng, you have to think of a solution for me."

Li Junfeng comforted her: "I will, just bear with it, I will urge her."

Meng Yuehuan took advantage of the situation and threw herself into his arms: "Brother Junfeng is the best to me. I will repay Brother Junfeng in the future."

"Really? How do you want to repay you?" Li Junfeng had a wicked smile on his face, and his big hands became naughty.

Meng Yuehuan put her arms around his neck and bit his ear: "I'll do whatever you say."

The two of them couldn't help themselves and almost rolled onto the bed while hugging each other. Then they heard footsteps outside the door. Cuiwei knocked on the door: "You are in there, right? Madam said that according to the rules of our mansion, maids cannot stay out all night and have to sleep in their own courtyards!"

Meng Yuehuan grumbled in dissatisfaction: "I've already gone to bed, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Cuiwei was very firm: "This rule was set by the old lady for the convenience of management. If you think it is inappropriate, you can ask the old lady to change the rule."

The two exchanged glances in the dark. Meng Yuehuan opened the door and glared at her fiercely: "You are just taking advantage of the power of the tiger. Sooner or later, you will suffer."

For three whole days, Cuiwei kept an eye on Meng Yuehuan, strictly following the daily routine of the maids in the mansion and not giving her any loopholes.

She also used the excuse of getting silk thread to sneak out to take a breath, but when she came out, she heard that her father Meng Tang's case of corruption had been sentenced and he was exiled thousands of miles away.

Her face turned pale instantly, and she grabbed the maid's hand and refused to let go: "How is this possible?"

The maid was so frightened that she stammered, "I just heard it from the concierge. It's none of my business!"

Meng Yuehuan knew that it was probably true. This matter would usually be posted on the bulletin board, and people would also like to talk about it as a topic of conversation after dinner.

She originally wanted to confront Shen Mengyao, but then she thought that she might not be her opponent, so she found the maid who used to serve her and asked her to quickly invite Zhu and Li Junfeng here!

As soon as she entered the yard, she shouted angrily, "Shen Mengyao! Come out here! You despicable villain, did you do something to make my father be sentenced so quickly?"

Shen Mengyao calmly put down the teacup in her hand, looked at her with cold eyes, sneered and said, "I don't have such great ability. Your father's case has been investigated almost to the end."

Meng Yuehuan stared at her confidently: "You promised me that you would rescue my father for me."

Shen Mengyao did not deny it either: "I promised you that I would do my best to help you, but I have done everything I should do. Your father's case is too big, and I am not an official, so I really can't say anything."

"Shen Mengyao, you!" Meng Yuehuan was so angry that her heart ached.

Cui Wei reminded coldly: "You are the one who called me Madam? If you don't want to call me sister-in-law, just call me Madam."

"It's so early in the morning, and it's causing a lot of chaos!"

The voice came in before the person appeared.

Zhu walked in gracefully, followed by Li Junfeng, who also looked unhappy. It was obvious that they also knew the situation!

Meng Yuehuan rushed over as if she had seen a savior, "Brother Junfeng, Aunt, you have to make the decision for me. My father was sentenced today."

Zhu's brows were grim: "Shen Mengyao, are you still the daughter-in-law of my Li family? If you can't even help with this little thing, what's the use of you?"

Shen Mengyao just sat on the armchair, without even moving, and said calmly: "I have tried my best, but Meng Tang's corruption case is so serious that it has alarmed His Majesty. Now the atmosphere in the court is unstable, and His Majesty intends to kill one to warn the rest. I really can't blame anyone else."

Zhu looked at her coldly: "In the end, you just don't regard yourself as the daughter-in-law of our Li family. You just rely on your status as a princess to show off your power."

Meng Yuehuan's tears were already falling.

"My father's case was not that serious, how could he be exiled? You must have done something wrong!"

Shen Mengyao put down the teacup calmly and said in a cold voice: "I have already asked. The court has cracked down on this matter and arrested many accomplices. If mother-in-law wants me to do my best, it's fine. How can I not succeed if I spend the money? What if I am arrested as an accomplice..."

"Stop exaggerating here!" Meng Yuehuan was shocked and interrupted her.

Zhu was also a little worried. If she could help, that would be great. But if she couldn't help, she must not involve the Li family.

Seeing this, Meng Yuehuan bit her lip and cried, "You did it on purpose. You have been torturing me these past few days, making me do hard work, and now you have to watch my father helplessly... If you want to be angry and hate me, Yuehuan will bear it alone, but I beg my sister-in-law not to implicate my father."

Li Junfeng's face changed: "Shen Mengyao, we are relatives after all, how can you be so heartless?"

"As my husband, are you going to just listen to one side of the story?" Shen Mengyao said in a cold tone, glancing at Cuiwei.

Cuiwei nodded and took out a few handkerchiefs from the room: "This is what my wife asked Miss Meng to do. My wife took into consideration that Miss Meng was a lady from a wealthy family and did not let her do rough work. She just asked her to embroider. She has only embroidered these patterns in the past few days."

Shen Mengyao also made a sad expression: "I know my sister is proud and would not be able to bring herself to eat and live here for free, so I wanted to help my sister save face, but I didn't expect my sister to slander me like this!"

Li Junfeng took a look and found that it was indeed Meng Yuehuan's work, but it was not done very carefully.

He often collected small items such as sachets pendants and handkerchiefs made by Meng Yuehuan, so he could still recognize it.

Shen Mengyao stood up and said, "Sister, you didn't accept my kindness and slandered me. It seems that I was wrong in this matter. Sister is arrogant and proud. It is indeed not suitable for her to stay here. You should either apologize or leave the Li Mansion!"

Meng Yuehuan was so angry that she was dizzy. She pointed at her and yelled, "You are so hypocritical. Why should I apologize? Don't show off here. Do you think you can still do your job as the mistress of the house..."
