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

Yu Zhengsha and Jiang Bai stood at the door with serious faces, and were about to order the servants to go in and guard the room when they saw a figure rushing out, followed by a scream that pierced their eardrums.

"what"

Yu Zhengsha was stunned by the sudden voice. It should be Mei Hong. He turned his head and glanced at Jiang Bai. Didn't the news say that Mei Hong and Yu Qingli went to find the eldest prince together? Why was Mei Hong here?

Jiang Bai's expression was not very good either. He said to Mei Hong, "Shut up! Can't you see it's the master?"

Mei Hong was stunned, as if she didn't react. After a moment, she saluted Yu Zhengsha and said, "Master, it's the middle of the night, what are you doing?"

"Where is your lady?"

"The young lady is sleeping," Mei Hong answered as a matter of course, without even a trace of guilt in her eyes.

Yu Zhengsha and Jiang Bai looked at each other and frowned slightly. Could it be that the news was wrong? However, Yu Zhengsha did not believe Mei Hong so easily. Perhaps, this was just an empty city plan. His supposedly smart daughter should be able to come up with such a method.

"Go and call your lady out."

Mei Hong looked a little embarrassed, "Master, I'm afraid this is not a good idea."

Mei Hong's performance made Yu Zhengsha more certain of his thoughts. Yu Qingli must not be in the room. Mei Hong was just a delaying tactic she had prepared.

He has been an official for many years, would he be fooled by such a small trick?

Yu Zhengsha's face turned cold, "Don't say anything more, hurry up and go"

"Meihong, who is yelling outside in the middle of the night and not letting me rest?"

A cold and indifferent voice came from the inner room, leaving Yu Zhengsha completely stunned. How could it be possible that Yu Qingli had flown back?

As he was speaking, Yu Qingli's figure had already appeared in front of Yu Zhengsha. She was only wearing a thin nightgown with a coat draped over her shoulders. She walked out with sleepy eyes and it seemed that she was really sleeping in the inner room.

Seeing Yu Zhengsha and his group standing at the door, Yu Qingli seemed to be awakened all of a sudden and asked in surprise, "Father, what happened?"

Yu Zhengsha's face changed when he saw this. If his information was not wrong, then the servant beside Murong Feng was so skilled in martial arts that he was able to avoid the many servants in the mansion and send Yu Qingli and her servant back before them.

It seems that he underestimated Murong Feng. Even though he has become a discarded pawn, there are still some forces behind him.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhengsha straightened his expression and said, "It's nothing, it's just that a little thief came to the mansion. I was worried that he might have disturbed you, so I came to check on you."

"Is there anything missing from the thief's house?"

Yu Qingli's face was very nervous, as if she believed what Yu Zhengsha said. From her fake and convincing expression, there was almost no flaw. Even Yu Zhengsha almost began to doubt that the information he got was wrong.

"Oh, you found it in time, so nothing was lost. Anyway, you just need to be careful. If you find anything unusual, notify your father immediately."

He spoke in a kind fatherly tone.

Yu Qingli sneered in her heart. If she hadn't returned in time, Yu Zhengsha might not have spoken in the same tone as he did now.

"Qingli knows."

With her head lowered and her eyes submissive, Yu Qingli also plays the role of a good daughter.

Yu Zhengsha and Jiang Bai returned empty-handed and returned to the study with a gloomy face, with Jiang Bai following closely behind.

"Master, this matter is all due to my incompetence. I hope you will punish me."

Jiang Bai spoke with shame. Yu Zhengsha closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his expression had returned to calm, like an ancient well without ripples, revealing a bit of coldness.

"Okay, let's end this matter here. I don't want to pursue it any further. This time, I was careless. I didn't expect that Murong Feng had such a master hidden by his side."

"Master, rest assured, I will definitely make amends."

"Well, I'm quite confident in your abilities." Yu Zhengsha thought for a moment and then asked, "How are the stores I asked you to investigate?"

A hint of fighting spirit ignited in Jiang Bai's eyes. It had been a long time since he met such an exciting opponent. Although the other party was just a teenage girl, when she grew up, no one in the small Jiangnan area, even in the huge capital city, would be able to match her.

"Master, the eldest lady is indeed a business genius. These shops are doing very well under her management."

Yu Zhengsha did not seem very happy when he heard this. If this shop was part of the Yu family's property, it would be fine. However, this was left to Yu Qingli by the Li family. All shops were independent and did not go through the general ledger of the Yu family. The existence of such a shop was a disaster to him.

Yu Zhengsha tapped the table lightly with his middle finger. Jiang Bai, who was standing beside him, said nothing. Having followed Yu Zhengsha for many years, he already knew Yu Zhengsha's habits. Like at this moment, looking at the anxious and irritable Yu Zhengsha, he was actually very calm in his heart and was thinking about something important. Only at this time, Yu Zhengsha would

Knock the table with your fingers.

None of them turned on the lights, and the study was dim. Only the desolate moonlight slanted down from the window sill, casting a frosty glow over the two people in the study.

After a long time, Yu Zhengsha's fingers stopped on the table, and then a cold command sounded.

"Jiang Bai, take over these shops within three days!"

"Yes"

Jiang Bai did not ask the reason because he already knew the reason why the master did this. Before the master left Beijing, he would definitely transfer all the shops under the name of the Li family to the Yu family.

Only in this way can the eldest lady's retreat be completely cut off. Only by making the eldest lady's livelihood entirely dependent on the master will she not and cannot continue to investigate the cause of the lady's death.

Three days, it's really a difficult task

However, since it was a task assigned by the master, he naturally had to do his best to complete it.

Only after Yu Zhengsha and the others left did Yu Qingli finally breathe a sigh of relief. Mei Hong collapsed to the ground all of a sudden. She was so scared that if the master knew about this, she would be in danger of losing her life.

"Miss, how did you get back? You were clearly behind me, but how come you are faster than me?"

When she came to her senses, Mei Hong couldn't help but be curious. As far as she knew, the road she took was the shortest one. Where did the young lady get back to Liyuan?

After Mei Hong's reminder, Yu Qingli remembered that she seemed to owe Murong Yan another favor. Even though she did not owe him a favor voluntarily this time, it was a fact that he helped her.

Yu Qingli frowned, not knowing what kind of reward he would ask for from her. It would be better to repay this favor as soon as possible.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. But you, where did you come from? Why are you so dirty?"

Mei Hong was a little embarrassed and a little awkward, and seemed a little embarrassed to say it out loud. Seeing this, Yu Qingli said, "If you don't want to say it, then forget it."

"No, I just told you not to laugh at me, and..." Mei Hong paused, "you must keep it a secret for me."

Yu Qingli had no interest in how Mei Hong came back. She just asked casually and didn't expect Mei Hong to really answer. She didn't expect Mei Hong to be so serious.

Yu Qingli nodded slightly, and Mei Hong said embarrassedly: "Actually, I entered the courtyard through the dog hole on the wall.

Yu Qingli was stunned, not knowing whether to admire or despise the woman in front of her. Thinking back to her previous life, it seemed that she was also like this, unable to distinguish between honor and disgrace, and was unyielding. After she first married Murong Feng, many women in the palace relied on their noble birth to humiliate and tease her, but they were all resolved by Mei Hong with ease.

From this point of view, Yu Qingli felt that she really should learn from her.

The most humble person is invincible

Sometimes, only by letting go of all sense of honor and disgrace can one win a true victory. It must be said that Mei Hong taught her a lesson.

Seeing Yu Qingli's serious expression, Mei Hong thought that her behavior had shamed the young lady, so she knelt in front of Yu Qingli and said, "Young lady, I was in a hurry at the moment. If you feel embarrassed, please punish me."

Yu Qingli glanced at Mei Hong indifferently. It was really ridiculous. She was the one who got into the dog hole. Why should she be ashamed? Isn't it inexplicable?

"Get up, I don't mean to punish you, but this matter has caused you some injustice."

Meihong was deeply moved by the subtle concern. Although she felt that the young lady was often not the same as before in recent days, at this moment, she felt that all the previous things were probably due to the grief in the young lady's heart after the death of her mistress. In fact, the young lady still cared about her very much in her heart.

The young lady is still the gentle and respectful woman, the only difference is that her temperament is a little colder.

After this misunderstanding, the Yu Mansion finally fell into peace, and all the noise and conspiracy were gradually swallowed up in the night.

The next morning, Yu Qingli was woken up early by the chirping of cicadas in the tree. The irritating sound did not affect Yu Qingli's mood. She remembered deeply that if she wanted to take revenge, she had to follow the path of her previous life and make Murong Feng lose everything at the moment when he was most proud.

"Meihong, go and ask father today, saying that the eldest prince rarely comes to Jiangnan, and we should at least do our best to show some hospitality. Father is busy with his duties, so I will accompany the eldest prince on his tour."

"Yes, I will report it right away. I wonder if the master will agree."

Yu Qingli smiled faintly. How could Yu Zhengsha disagree with what she said? Besides, she probably didn't have much time as a father to accompany the eldest prince in the past two days.

If she remembered correctly, three days later, the five shops under her mother's name all changed their names overnight, saying that they went bankrupt due to poor management. However, she knew the actual situation very well. It was clearly Jiang Bai who secretly made some moves, causing the painting studio and cloth shop to go bankrupt.
