The visitor stood there quietly, like a solitary plum blossom blooming proudly in spring.

She was wearing a light pink skirt with exquisite floral designs embroidered on the hem with colorful silk threads. The skirt swayed gently with her steps, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance floating in the air.

Cao Shuqing recognized it at a glance, it was Meng Yufan? ? !

Looking at Meng Yu, who looked so glamorous and obviously living a very good life, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

No, that's not the case.

In her previous life, she was just his foot-warming maid!

Although she was called a child bride, she was actually just his concubine, not even a mistress.

He was high and mighty, and she was humble and cowardly.

But now, she stood in front of him, like a fairy high above.

And what about him? He was haggard, his clothes were tattered and full of stains, his hair was messy and scattered in front of his forehead, mixed with dust and grass clippings.

His crippled leg made it difficult for him to stand, and he could only rely on crutches to support himself. Standing next to Meng Yu, it was like the contrast between night and day, the gap between desolation and glory was so glaring.

Cao Shuqing's heart felt like it was hit hard. It seemed like fate was playing a cruel joke on him and completely reversed their identities.

A strong sense of imbalance surged in his heart, which was anger towards fate, jealousy of Meng Yu's current status, and unwillingness to accept his current situation.

His fists clenched unconsciously, his nails digging deeply into his palms, but he felt no pain.

The scenes from his past life kept appearing in his mind. She was full of affection, she was gentle and considerate, she was considerate and well-behaved, she allowed him to have whatever he wanted, she just humbly wanted him to look at her a few more times...

All the contempt and insults he had shown to Meng Yu now seemed like sharp blades, stabbing fiercely into his own heart.

He could never accept that the person who was once under his feet could now stand in front of him so proudly, enjoying the wealth and glory he had always dreamed of.

Cao Shuqing's breathing became rapid, and the dark light in his eyes became stronger. Why could she be so successful, while he had to endure such misfortune? He, Cao Shuqing, had always been full of knowledge and ambition, so why did he have to struggle in the quagmire of fate now?

He wanted to rush forward, pull Meng Yu down from the clouds, and let her return to her former humble position.

Meng Yu saw every change in his eyes.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile.

"Cao Shuqing!" The girl's voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of sarcasm: "What happened? The little prodigy's leg is broken? What a pity!"

"Meng Yufan, are you here to laugh at me?"

"You think too highly of yourself." Meng Yu laughed, "We met on the road, it was just an accident! But seeing you like this, I do feel very happy!"

Cao Shuqing stared at her. Wasn’t it that her mother was found and was said to be a wealthy businessman?

So, she has money now.

But so what?

Even a businessman who is as rich as a country is nothing in the face of power.

As long as he could climb to a high position, he could destroy her grandfather's family in an instant. Thinking of this, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Thinking of his own poverty and broken leg, he looked at Meng Yu with a calculating look in his eyes. He thought that this once insignificant girl now had money and might be a stepping stone for him to turn things around.

The doctor at the clinic said that his leg was not beyond saving, but he needed to find a genius physician who had reached the level of a great doctor. Of course, that would require a lot of money, because not only was it difficult to hire a genius physician who had reached the level of a great doctor, the many precious medicinal materials needed alone were very expensive.

But Meng Yufan is rich!

Her mother did business, and she made a lot of money by chance, and she even recognized the rich businessman in Jiazhou as her biological father. Isn't her mother's money hers?

"Yufan, let's put aside the past. You and I are from the same hometown after all. I ended up like this only because I was poor. I have a hundred ways to become successful and stand out. Can you help me?"

Meng Yu's eyes moved, and the corners of his lips raised slightly: "Oh, how do you want me to help you?"

A hint of joy of success flashed across Cao Shuqing's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"Yufan, don't look at me like this now. As long as I have enough money, I can stand up again. I have a brilliant business idea. As long as it works, it will definitely make a lot of money. When the time comes, we will split the profits. Not only can you recover your costs, but you can also get several times the return."

In order to convince Meng Yu, he eagerly told her his thoughts. At the end, he said, "I also know a lot of dignitaries. As long as I have money, I can integrate into their circle again. By then, our business will grow bigger and bigger, and you can live a life of luxury with me."

Meng Yu listened to Cao Shuqing desperately painting a rosy picture in front of her. His so-called business ideas were full of loopholes, and those so-called dignitaries, were they people he knew in his previous life?

In his previous life, he was a rising star in the court and had a powerful father-in-law. Those people flattered him and tried to please him.

Now, who do those people recognize him as?

Of course, this has nothing to do with her.

She chuckled. "That sounds great, but what if I don't want to help?"

She was a little impressed by this man's courage. After going through so much, how could he have the nerve to say such things?

Cao Shuqing was stunned. He had been talking for a long time, and Meng Yu had been listening with a smile. He thought she was moved. It turned out that she was just teasing him!

At this moment, a feeling of shame and anger surged into his heart, his face turned pale in an instant, and a sinister look flashed in his eyes.

"Meng Yu, don't refuse my toast and then drink a forfeit!" Cao Shuqing gritted his teeth and was about to say something unpleasant when a loud noise came from a distance.

He turned around and saw a group of officials in official uniforms walking quickly towards him.

Judging from the official uniform of the man in the front, he is actually the governor of Jiazhou. This huge group of people are almost all the officials of Jiazhou.

Cao Shuqing was shocked and wondered why these high-ranking officials appeared here.

The governor and the others looked up, their eyes lit up, and they almost trotted to Meng Yu, bowing together with a very respectful attitude. Cao Shuqing widened his eyes, and could not believe what he saw.

"Your subordinates are here to see the princess." The governor's voice was steady and powerful, echoing in everyone's ears.

"Princess?" Cao Shuqing seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. "How is this possible? How could she be a princess?"

The governor frowned and shouted, "How dare you! How dare you be rude to the princess!"

"She is just a merchant's daughter. How can she be a princess? You have the wrong person!"

Meng Yu just stood there quietly, watching Cao Shuqing go crazy calmly. There was no anger in her eyes, only calmness.

She was so calm that she treated everything in the world calmly, as if she was a god standing on the clouds overlooking all living things. The noise and disputes in the world could not touch her heartstrings. In her eyes, Cao Shuqing's roar and the astonishment of the crowd were nothing but passing clouds, fleeting.

"I don't believe it! She's not a princess at all, she's a liar!"

Meng Yu laughed, looking at Cao Shuqing, who was furious and incredulous, with jealousy and unwillingness in his eyes, and said in a light and playful voice: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, my biological father is the newly enthroned emperor, and my mother has become the queen!"
