After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

What made Mei Hong feel most angry was that the young lady was so warm to this idle prince. How could the young lady do this? She had clearly already been engaged to the eldest prince, and she was also so loved by the eldest prince. How could she betray the eldest prince so easily?

Subconsciously, Mei Hong has already regarded Yu Qingli as Murong Feng's woman, and any contact with men other than Murong Feng would be considered a betrayal.

Yu Qingli couldn't help but feel shocked when she saw the resentment in Mei Hong's eyes. Could it be that Mei Hong had already begun to hate her?

What about his past life? When did it begin? Was it when he was running around trying to recruit talented people for Murong Feng? Or when he had to bargain with the merchants for Murong Feng's sake?

"Lili?!"

Seeing Yu Qingli distracted, Murong Yanhui frowned with some dissatisfaction. Could it be that this woman was thinking about Murong Feng again?

Yu Qingli withdrew her gaze indifferently. Since she was already on guard, there was no need to worry too much. Fortunately, everything was still under her control. Even if there was something between Mei Hong and Murong Feng, it would not cause any trouble for the time being.

"Lili, is your foot injury better?"

He glanced at Murong Feng coldly and said, "Thank you for your daily concern, Your Highness. My foot injury is no longer a big deal!"

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice coming from the door, "Qingli's foot injury has healed? That's great! I was thinking of going to the shop with you today to check on the business."

Murong Yanhui snorted coldly. It was this Xiao Yu again, ruining his plans every time!

"Brother Xiao!"

A slight smile appeared on Yu Qingli's lips. She just wanted to get rid of Murong Yanhui's entanglement. The arrival of Young Master Yu was really her lucky star.

Seeing Yu Qingli's obviously different attitude, Murong Yan would be lying if she said she wasn't depressed. Why was Yu Qingli always so cold every time she faced her? If it was someone else, she would be able to face him with a smile.

How unfair!

Young Master Yu put away the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and walked into the house with an elegant smile. Yu Qingli hurriedly told Mei Hong to make tea.

Young Master Yu glanced at Murong Yanhui, who had a bad face, and couldn't help but feel funny in his heart. He didn't expect that King Yan, who had always been involved in the affairs of women, would also be humiliated. It seemed that his sister was really charming.

"How come Brother Xiao has time to come here?"

"I came here specifically to see you today. Seven days have passed, and business in the store is very poor. Qingli, do you want to go over and take a look?"

Yu Qingli smiled and said, "The current bleak situation is inevitable. The heavy rain for several days has made the people hide in their homes and are unwilling to come out. Naturally, no one comes to buy food. But after the heavy rain passes, people will naturally come."

Seeing Yu Qingli's solemn promise, Master Yu seemed to be at a loss for words. After a moment of silence, he said, "Actually, I do have an idea, but I wonder..."

"Brother Xiao, please feel free to speak!"

"The people of Jiangnan have already suffered heavy losses from the floods. If we continue to raise the price of rice and hoard it after the disaster, wouldn't we be considered unscrupulous profiteers? It would be better to sell this grain now to the government and use it as disaster relief. What do you think, Qingli?"

Yu Qingli looked at Master Yu with a half-smile, while Murong Yanhui on the side also rested his head leisurely, looking at Master Yu in an inquiring manner.

Although he got to know this Young Master Yu through Baili and the others, he now began to feel that this Young Master Yu had a complicated background, at least he was definitely not a simple businessman.

Xiao Yu felt a little nervous when he was stared at by these two people. Even wearing a silver mask, he could not hide his panic. The gazes of these two people might be too vicious.

Yu Qingli did not respond to Master Yu's question, but instead asked, "Is Brother Xiao from the imperial court?"

Just as Xiao Yu was about to retort, Yu Qingli continued, "Brother Xiao cares so much about the people. If he's not from the imperial court, then he must be a saint descending to earth."

Xiao Yu smiled awkwardly and changed the subject, "I'm just thinking that Prime Minister Yu is now fully responsible for the floods in Jiangnan. If he knew that Qingli, you've hoarded so much food, he might just confiscate it. Wouldn't I lose everything then? It's better..."

Xiao Yu's explanation was somewhat intentional, but Yu Qingli didn't want to expose him any further. It was enough for everyone to know the truth. Besides, when they stockpiled this batch of grain, they had no intention of making money. The people in Jiangnan were suffering from the floods. If they had really made such dirty money as Xiao Yu said, then she, Yu Qingli, would not have been harmed so miserably in her previous life.

Yu Qingli lowered her brows and said, "Since Big Brother Xiao is the investor, everything will naturally be done according to your instructions. Qingli doesn't know much about the business of this shop, so I will just be responsible for taking the profits. What do you think, Big Brother Xiao?"

To put it bluntly, all Yu Qingli had to do was wait to get the money!

Xiao Yu, however, was as if he had been granted amnesty, with a look of joy on his face. "In that case, leave everything to me. Qingli, don't worry, I will definitely not lose out on your share of the profits."

Xiao Yu's purpose was to seek Yu Qingli's consent. Although he was the investor, the goods and the shop belonged to Yu Qingli after all. Moreover, if Yu Qingli had not informed him in advance about the rainstorm disaster, he was afraid that most of his business would have been lost.

Since the goal has been achieved, there is naturally no intention of staying any longer. Xiao Yu opened the oil-paper umbrella again and walked into the rain.

These are the people who come and go in a hurry.

Yu Qingli sighed as she watched his back. She wondered who this frail Master Yu was working so hard for.

"What? Are you feeling distressed?"

The tone was somewhat gnashing of teeth! Murong Yanhui had already approached Yu Qingli's face without knowing when. Yu Qingli involuntarily took two steps back, "Your Highness, please respect yourself!"

Murong Yanhui stepped forward and put her arm around Yu Qingli's waist, "Lili, why do we have to be so distant from each other?!"

"Stop! Let go of our young lady!"

Before Yu Qingli could speak, a scream came from the door, followed by a tea bowl flying towards her.

Murong Yan looked back with a dark look in her eyes. She stretched out her hand and pulled them both aside. The tea bowl brushed past Yu Qingli's ear and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

Mei Hong's pink and green figure rushed over hurriedly, pulled Yu Qingli away from Murong Yanhui, and quickly stood in front of her, glaring at Murong Yanhui like a hen protecting her chicks. Her flushed face showed how angry she was at the moment.

She looks like a good servant who is loyal to her master!

Murong Yanhui was puzzled. Why did he always feel that the tea bowl was aimed at Yu Qingli? Even if he wanted to save someone, he didn't have to throw the hot tea bowl directly at Yu Qingli. If he hadn't pulled it away immediately, that pretty face would have been scratched by the broken pieces of the tea cup even if it hadn't been burned.

Yu Qingli was also still in shock. At that moment just now, she clearly caught a glimpse of the cruelty in Mei Hong's eyes, but it was hidden under that innocence, making people even more hard to guard against. She was a little confused as to whether Mei Hong was saving her or trying to harm her.

"presumptuous!"

Murong Yanhui's face turned cold, and he looked intimidating without being angry. A mere little maid actually dared to attack him. It seemed that he had missed this person next to Yu Qingli before.

Mei Hong held the tea tray in front of her face, her body trembling constantly. She looked very scared, but she kept comforting Yu Qingli, saying, "Don't be afraid, Miss. Mei Hong will protect you."

No matter how you look at it, she is a maid who protects the young lady wholeheartedly. If Yu Qingli had not experienced all kinds of things in her previous life, she would definitely think so.

"Believe it or not, I can kill you right now!" Murong Yanhui raised his palm wind. He was already very angry because the maid almost hurt Yu Qingli just now.

Yu Qingli actually hoped that Murong Yan would slap Mei Hong back, but she knew that if she did so, she would lose a tool to restrain Murong Feng. Besides, wouldn't all the suffering she endured in her previous life be in vain?

Thinking of this, Yu Qingli also said calmly: "Meihong, what are you doing? Don't be rude to the prince!"

Hearing Yu Qingli speak, Mei Hong couldn't help but turn her head, her big eyes full of confusion, "But Miss, I just saw..."

"My foot hurt and I almost fell, and the prince just saved me. You don't need to be so nervous and make a big deal out of nothing! Why don't you apologize to the prince now!"

Mei Hong was stunned for a moment, and only came to her senses after a while. She replied to Murong Yan, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I didn't mean to offend you. I hope you will forgive me."

Seeing how flexible this maid was, Murong Yanhui felt more and more that something was not right. He felt that this maid was not that loyal.

Seeing Murong Yanhui remained silent, Yu Qingli stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, please be magnanimous and don't treat a mere maid with such leniency, right?"

Yu Qingli had said so. If Murong Yanhui continued to argue, it would seem a bit petty. Her charming peach blossom eyes showed a little gentleness. "Forget it, I'll give Lili this face today, but if there is a next time, I will never let you off easily!"

"Why don't you thank your Majesty?"

Mei Hong said tremblingly, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Murong Yanhui snorted coldly and said to Yu Qingli, "Since I have nothing to do, how about Lili accompanying me for a walk? We didn't make it to Taotie Tower last time, so how about I treat you today?"

Yu Qingli thought for a moment and decided whether she should go out and see the current disaster situation.

A faint smile appeared on his lips. "Since the prince is inviting us, why shouldn't I go?"

As she spoke, Murong Yanhui had already dragged Yu Qingli out. Yu Qingli turned and said to Mei Hong, "Mei Hong, you don't have to follow me. I'll be back soon."

Mei Hong nodded slightly, still looking at Yu Qingli with some concern, but swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.

The sky was hazy and the continuous drizzle made this summer day a little cooler. Yu Qingli and the others walked through the long corridor of the Yu Mansion and headed out of the house.

Murong Yanhui already had an oil-paper umbrella in his hand. He opened it and held it over Yu Qingli's head, then moved closer and the two of them took shelter from the rain together.

Murong Yanhui suddenly seemed to remember something and reminded him, "Lili, I have something to remind you. If possible, it would be best to change your maid!"

Yu Qingli was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's not because Mei Hong offended the prince today, so..."
