The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

Chapter 2: The Reborn Cousin with Bad Intentions

"Please have mercy, Your Highness. My young lady made an unintentional mistake. I really didn't mean to offend Your Highness."

The little maidservant who had been kneeling on the ground kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy for her young lady. She was so scared that her face turned even paler when she heard Sheng Wu call this man "Prince".

Seeing that the maidservant was begging for mercy and her head was almost broken, Xu Keke felt a little sorry for her and was about to speak.

At this time, a man and a woman ran out of Ruyi Teahouse.

The middle-aged man was wearing an indigo robe and had a flattering smile on his face. He knelt down in front of Chu Musheng as soon as he came out.

"Your Highness, I am the owner of this teahouse, Fu. I am willing to guarantee with my life that Second Miss Xu did not knock you down intentionally. I...I have evidence."

"Oh! Is there any evidence that my men just failed to find?"

Chu Musheng tightened the reins, and the BMW under his crotch turned around on the spot, then he looked at the fat shopkeeper Fu.

Shopkeeper Fu raised the banana peel in his hand.

"Your Highness, please take a look. It was this damned banana peel that caused my daughter to fall from the third floor, and this is what implicated Your Highness. Please don't let my daughter go to jail."

Banana peel? Chu Musheng's mouth twitched as he looked at the woman kneeling next to Shopkeeper Fu.

The woman was wearing a pink dress with scattered flowers and she raised her head to meet Chu Musheng's gaze.

His face suddenly turned red.

The guards who had just entered the teahouse to search claimed to be the regent's subordinates, so she took the risk to come out and take a look.

It turns out that the Regent is so handsome?

The woman whispered shyly.

"My daughter pays homage to His Royal Highness the Regent. My name is Xu Yuanyuan, and my father serves as the Junior Minister of the Imperial Household Department."

Xu Keke's attention was drawn to the man and woman at this moment, and she couldn't help but whisper to the guard who was resting a knife on her neck.

"Did you see that? This fat uncle is sincerely pleading for his young lady, and that beautiful young lady is here to recommend herself to your master."

Sheng Er and Sheng San looked at each other. This master's attitude of not caring about her was really stupid. Should they also beg the master to let her go and be done with it?

The pink-dressed woman who claimed to be making a wish was about to continue, but Chu Musheng was already impatient to listen.

"How can I take back what I have said? Why don't you take the suspect to the Ministry of Justice? This little servant girl loyally protected her master and aided the tyrant in his evil deeds. She should be imprisoned as well."

Before he finished speaking, he had already ridden away.

"Pooh."

Xu Keke spat at Chu Musheng's back.

"Is he suffering from paranoia? The fat uncle said I slipped on a banana peel and fell."

"Shut up right now! Do you want to spend the rest of your life in jail?"

Sheng Er wanted to cover Xu Keke's little mouth, and he and Sheng San carried Xu Keke and were about to leave.

The fat uncle hurriedly got up from the ground, took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it to Sheng Er.

"My lords, you've worked hard on your mission. It's still quite a distance to the Ministry of Justice Prison. How about I have someone send Miss Xu there in a sedan chair?"

Sheng Er and Sheng San exchanged glances, and did not dare to accept the silver ingots from Shopkeeper Fu. They put away their swords.

"Where is the sedan chair? Bring it here quickly! You've delayed my work, and you'll have to bear the consequences."

"Hey! I'll arrange it right away. I'll be there soon."

Shopkeeper Fu looked at Xu Keke with pity, then turned and went into the teahouse.

Without the big knife on his neck, Xu Keke finally felt a little relieved and rubbed his neck with his hands.

The little maidservant was very considerate and came over to help her massage.

"Miss, are you okay?"

Everything's fine? You're about to go to jail, and you're still asking me if I'm okay?

I heard that if you went to an ancient prison, you would be skinned alive even if you didn't die.

Xu Keke complained in her heart, but her face showed no expression. Didn’t this little maid say that I, the young lady, was not very smart?

Then I will play dumb. No matter what, even if the sky falls and the earth collapses, my character cannot collapse!

The woman in pink made a wish and walked over gracefully.

"Keke, I can't help you this time. You've got to take care of yourself."

As he spoke, he helped Xu Keke tidy up her clothes and hair, with a faint smile in his eyes.

White Lotus, Green Tea Witch!

Can your poor acting skills deceive my sharp eyes?

Xu Keke took a step back and complained wildly in her heart, who cares about your fake kindness.

Manager Fu quickly brought over a sedan chair carried by four people. He ignored Xu Yuanyuan who was standing nearby and ordered the maid to help Xu Keke get into the sedan chair.

Xu Keke sat in the sedan chair, worried that the bottom would leak and cause her to fall again.

Just heard a "Go."

The sedan chair began to move forward.

Xu Keke pulled open the curtain beside her and looked out, and saw the little maid following the sedan chair, walking closely, her red forehead particularly obvious in the sunlight.

The fat uncle stood there, and Xu Keke saw the worry on his face.

There is also Xu Yuanyuan, standing gracefully in the spring breeze, and the smile on her face blends in with the bustling street scene.

Gradually going farther and farther, this completely unfamiliar world seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog in Xu Keke's eyes.

The sound of gongs and drums came from the street.

Along the streets and in the side rooms of teahouses and restaurants, women took out their own hand-embroidered handkerchiefs.

The people who had just watched the Regent being knocked off his horse by a woman suddenly remembered that today was the day when the new top scholar was paraded through the streets to show off his official position.

After Xu Keke was taken away, Xu Yuanyuan returned to the private room of Ruyi Teahouse, but this time she sat on the second floor.

Here you can see the suave and dashing top scholar more clearly.

Xu Yuanyuan was reborn three days ago, and it was her masterpiece that her silly cousin fell from the third floor today.

In her previous life, she had no hatred against her cousin Xu Keke. It was because her cousin was born in a lower class than herself and was also stupid, but she was able to marry the young top scholar Shen Qingfeng in gratitude for saving her life!

After experiencing a lifetime, Xu Yuanyuan certainly knows what will happen next.

Shen Qingfeng's grandfather had been good friends with their Xu family's grandfather for many years.

All members of the Xu family attended the fiftieth birthday party of the old lady of the Shen family to celebrate.

That year, Shen Qingfeng was nine years old. Somehow, a door plaque accidentally slipped down.

It was Xu Keke, who was only six years old at the time, who pushed Shen Qingfeng away, and the door plaque hit Xu Keke squarely on the head.

Xu Keke was knocked unconscious at that time and was bleeding profusely from the wound.

Many onlookers witnessed that the old lady of the Shen family ordered the court doctor to grant Xu Ke treatment and made a promise at that time.

As long as Xu Ke survives the disaster, he will let his grandson Shen Qingfeng marry her in the future.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuanyuan stroked the teacup in her hand, regretting that she had not been reborn earlier, otherwise she could have followed suit and saved Shen Qingfeng once.

You should know that Shen Qingfeng was not only as handsome as Pan An, but he also rose step by step to become the prime minister of the dynasty.

His silly cousin married him and was spoiled by him all her life. She had two lively and smart sons.

And what about yourself?

Married to the illegitimate son of a fourth-rank official.

That illegitimate son is truly a playboy. Not only does he have many wives and concubines at home, he also often visits brothels and theaters.

Later, she also contracted syphilis and died before she was thirty.

Her previous life was so miserable, so of course she wanted to change her fate after being reborn.

Today is the day when Shen Qingfeng becomes the top scorer in the imperial examination and enjoys the most glorious moment.

After today, he will come to Xu Keke's house to formally propose marriage.

Xu Yuanyuan must seize this opportunity and let Xu Ke fall to his death on the path that Shen Qingfeng must pass.

Then I can ask my grandmother for some advice, and maybe I can marry Shen Qingfeng and enjoy the grace and wealth that Xu Ke had in his previous life.

But things seemed to be beyond her expectations. How could Regent Chu Musheng just happen to pass by?

In her previous life, she didn't push her cousin downstairs, so she didn't know whether the Regent passed by this street that day?

Xuyuanyuan was also a little confused.

It is obvious that this regent who was powerful and in control of the government in his previous life should die outside the capital today.

Could it be that my rebirth changed the original direction?
