Thinking of this, Yu Qingli couldn't help but shudder. This was all too terrifying. When she once thought that Murong Feng treated her sincerely and wholeheartedly, he was already prepared to sacrifice himself. It turned out that from the beginning to the end, she was just a chess piece that was discarded after being used.

Wasn't she just a pawn? After she helped him regain the world, he didn't even show the slightest gratitude and immediately banished her to the cold palace, not even caring about the baby.

Yes, that child doesn’t seem to mean anything to him, because it seems that Mei Hong also gave birth to a daughter for him, right?

It's really ridiculous and hateful!

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing the fleeting distraction in Yu Qingli's eyes, Mei Hong couldn't help but feel a little worried. What happened to the young lady? Not only had she been distracted so often these days, but she even had a very painful expression sometimes. Although it was only for a moment, it always made her feel strange.

Although the death of the lady did deal a certain blow to the young lady, she should have recovered in these days. It has been more than half a month, and the young lady still hasn't gotten over this blow?

Thinking of this, Mei Hong couldn't help but feel distressed for Yu Qingli and began to comfort her, "Miss, the deceased is gone, but you still have to live well. If Madam knew that you were so sad every day, I'm afraid her spirit in heaven would be uneasy."

Yu Qingli remained silent. She knew that Mei Hong had misunderstood, but it was okay. At least there wouldn't be so much unnecessary trouble.

Yu Qingli looked at Mei Hong steadily, and suddenly reached out and held Mei Hong's hand, "Thank you, Mei Hong, if you were not by my side, I really don't know what to do!"

Mei Hong seemed a little overwhelmed by Yu Qingli's sudden enthusiasm. The young lady's mood changed so quickly that she couldn't react.

"Miss, this is what I should do. I am so happy to see you recover and be as you were before! I swear that I will treat you well for the rest of my life."

Yu Qingli just smiled without saying anything, her long eyelashes covering the coldness in her eyes. Vows were the easiest to be betrayed, so they were the things she believed in the least. However, this time, she would not give Mei Hong the chance to hurt her again.

"Meihong, what do you think of the eldest prince?"

Yu Qingli once again raised the question, hoping to test Mei Hong's reaction. However, this time, Mei Hong didn't answer decisively. Instead, she showed a hint of girlish shyness. After a while, she finally said, "The sisters in the palace all say that the eldest prince is a man of heaven. If I could serve such a man, it would be worth dying for."

Yu Qingli's eyes deepened. It seemed that Mei Hong was probably unreliable soon. She was just careless. She didn't expect that Murong Feng was so charming. After just one encounter, the maid who had vowed to accompany him for the rest of his life turned against him so quickly?

How sad!

Mei Hong seemed to sense that Yu Qingli was in a bad mood, so she quickly explained, "Miss, that's not what I meant. The only one in this mansion who is worthy of the eldest prince is Miss. I know that very well."

Yu Qingli raised her eyebrows and asked, "How do you know what I'm thinking?"

"My lady, you have asked me twice about the eldest prince. I guess you have already developed a good impression of him, right?" Mei Hong spoke in a low voice, as if she was afraid that such words would cause trouble, or she felt that it was somewhat inappropriate to say such words.

Fortunately, Yu Qingli didn't seem angry.

Mei Hong asked cautiously, "Miss, could it be that I guessed it right?"

Looking at Meihong's innocent big eyes, Yu Qingli slowly raised a bright smile on her lips, "My Meihong is so smart!"

Mei Hong's face seemed to be tinged with joy because of this compliment. "Miss, are you telling the truth?"

"You are my personal maid, why should I coax you?" Yu Qingli's eyes showed a hint of admiration, and she seemed to have no intention of avoiding Mei Hong at all. "In fact, I have already met the eldest prince two years ago."

Mei Hong was very surprised. She knew nothing about this matter. Suddenly she remembered that there was a period of time two years ago when she was temporarily ordered to accompany Li to inspect various shops. It was probably at that time that the young lady and the eldest prince met, right?

Yu Qingli saw Mei Hong's surprise clearly. She smiled brightly and continued, "In fact, we have been in love with each other since then. Although neither of us said it explicitly, I think that this time the eldest prince came here, in addition to paying homage to mother, he also wanted to propose marriage to father."

Mei Hong was at a loss for a moment, unsure whether to be happy or what to do. Logically, she should be happy that the young lady had found such a happy home, right? But why did she feel a faint resentment? Was it resentment that she would be confined to a life of slavery? Or was it resentment that the man she had first fallen in love with had become her lover?

Although she knew that as a slave she shouldn't have so many fanciful thoughts, after seeing the naturally handsome eldest prince, Mei Hong suddenly had the urge to fight for a better future for herself, even though it sounded ridiculous.

Mei Hong lowered her head, feeling a little aggrieved. For the first time, she felt sad about her background. If she also had a noble background, perhaps, she could compete fairly with the young lady, but now, she really did not have the courage and guts to do so.

But it only took a moment for Meihong to recover. She suddenly thought of something. If the young lady really married the eldest prince, then as a dowry maid, she should be able to marry with him as well. Although she could not be as legitimate as the young lady, at least she was a maid who shared the throne with the prince. When necessary, she could serve the eldest prince, right?

Thinking of this, Meihong's resentment quietly faded away.

Yu Qingli always thought that Mei Hong started to have an affair with Murong Feng and fell in love with him only after she married him. Obviously, she did not expect that Mei Hong had already decided to spend her life with him at first sight.

People always need opportunities. Mei Hong feels that the eldest prince is her opportunity, so she will seize it without hesitation.

At this moment, Meihong felt that perhaps she could be smarter than the young lady.

The young lady's intelligence lies only in poetry, songs and cultural accomplishment. Mei Hong, who has none of these, has used all her wit and intelligence to make her life better. Now, with such a perfect opportunity in front of her, Mei Hong knows that the time has come for her to change her destiny!

At this moment, Meihong, who appeared to be submissive on the outside, had quietly changed her heart.

Yu Qingli remained calm. Although she didn't know what Mei Hong was thinking, she could tell from the expression in her eyes and eyebrows that from now on, she would probably be left alone.

After everything was packed up, Yu Qingli asked Mei Hong to lead the way. The master and servant walked towards the outer hall where the banquet was held. They were silent all the way. Only the occasional chirping of insects accompanied by the slightly warm wind reached Yu Qingli's ears, but it also disturbed her heart.

I feel inexplicably irritated!

Although she tried her best to control her overwhelming hatred, she could not calm down. Yu Qingli felt that every step she took was very heavy. She wished that this road could be longer and longer so that she could completely calm the negative emotions in her heart.

You can do it! You definitely can!

Repeating these words over and over in her mind, Yu Qingli knew that no matter what, she had no way to escape. This was her fate, and she was the only one who could control it.

She knew clearly that she had two choices. First, forget the hatred and become a clueless Yu Qingli, waiting for her father to arrange a glamorous marriage for her. She was sure that her father would never choose Murong Feng! Second, continue her false love with Murong Feng, marry him, and then take revenge! Make him pay with blood!

Yu Qingli naturally chose the latter. In her new life, she would use her own hands to change her destiny. Whether it was Yu Zhengsha or Murong Feng, one day, she would completely expose their true faces, make everything they did public, and become the laughing stock of the world.

Yu Qingli clenched her fists slightly, reaffirming her belief, and her steps became much lighter.

It turns out that facing it is not that difficult!

Seeing Yu Qingli suddenly quicken her pace, Mei Hong was stunned, but she had already fallen far behind. She quickly quickened her pace to catch up with her, "Miss, this is getting more and more strange."

The dining room was soon reached. As soon as I entered, I saw a large round table opposite me. It was fully prepared with fine wine, delicious food, vegetables and fruits.

Yu Zhengsha sat facing south, which was the main seat. Sitting above the guest seat was Murong Feng, and his unclear guard or coachman's follower stood on one side as per the rules.

In just a moment, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips, with a hint of shyness, which made Yu Qingli's slightly pale face turn a little red, which made people feel pity.

Murong Feng's eyes lit up, and the wine glass in his hand paused there, his eyes closely following the beauty who was walking towards him.

Previously, she was kneeling there with her head slightly lowered, which actually concealed her frosty face. But when looking at her now, she actually gave people the feeling of a fairy walking on the clouds.

Yu Qingli was still wearing a plain silk dress, with only a jade hairpin in her hair. The few strands of hair hanging from her temples were swaying in the wind, exuding a myriad of charm. When she moved, she was like a willow swaying in the wind; when she was quiet, she was like a green lotus in the water. From her eyebrows to her waist, and to her graceful body, every part of her was graceful and beautiful.

Compared to two years ago, this woman is even more charming!

"Cough cough cough..."

Yu Zhengsha coughed a few times, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. How dare a mere abandoned prince covet his daughter?
