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

It was only then that she realized that Yu Qingli was not the only one present in the hall, which seemed a bit rude. Mei Hong hurriedly saluted everyone, and then stood obediently behind Yu Qingli. She had a lot of words to say but held them back, and even the excitement in her eyes dissipated in an instant.

Yu Qingli sighed, this emotion can really be controlled freely!

The discussion was not interrupted by the arrival of the little girl Meihong. Instead, Yu Qingli ordered, "Meihong, you've come just in time. Go back and get the little wooden box that my mother left for me!"

Mei Hong was stunned. "Miss, what do you want that for? Those are the dowry that Madam left for you!"

He glanced at Mei Hong sideways and said, "Just go get it. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Besides, are you worried that my father won't prepare a dowry for me when I get married?"

Mei Hong thought about it and it made some sense, so she turned around and went back to Liyuan. The shopkeepers present looked at each other. It seemed that the young lady of the Yu family had made up her mind.

The weather was getting a little gloomy. The white sunlight in the sky in the morning hid in the clouds and had not appeared for a long time. The air was getting stuffy and it looked like it was going to rain soon.

Meihong ran hurriedly with the wooden box in her arms. Soon she returned to the front hall, but she still seemed reluctant to leave. After all, this was the young lady's dowry. What did the young lady want it for?

Yu Qingli sighed softly. If possible, she didn't want to use the things in here. After all, this was the memory her mother left for her. But now, she had no choice!

"Miss……"

Mei Hong hesitated for a moment, but still handed the wooden box to Yu Qingli.

Yu Qingli took the key that had been hanging around her neck and slowly opened the wooden box. In addition to some priceless jewelry, there were also some land deeds and silver bills.

Yu Qingli looked around and said, "If Qingli doesn't have enough cash, I think you all would not object to using these jewels as collateral, right?"

"That's natural!"

How could the jewelry of the eldest lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion be so bad? Any one of them is worth thousands of silver taels. What's more, it is left for Miss Yu to get married, so the quality should naturally be first-class.

Looking at the greed in the eyes of these people, Yu Qingli sneered in her heart. Within seven days, she would make these people come to her door crying and beg her!

She, Yu Qingli, has such confidence!

Yu Qingli ordered Mei Hong to bring the pen, ink and cinnabar again, and the people present rewrote the contract and received corresponding compensation according to the amount of loss in the shop. Then they gave the deed of the shop to Yu Qingli.

After the transaction, only the Ruyi hairpin was left lying alone in the box full of jewelry. Fortunately, there were many more shop deeds, so it didn't feel empty.

Mei Hong looked at it with a deep regret in her heart. With so many good things, even if they were pawned in a pawnshop outside, they would only fetch two dollars. But they were just mortgaged like this. It was such a pity.

These people all look like bad people. It's really too much!

I felt very unfair for Yu Qingli!

Yu Qingli looked calm. Money was just something outside of one's body. She believed that her mother's spirit in heaven would agree with her doing this.

Only by having your own economic ability can you have the capital to compete with those people. This is what Yu Qingli learned from her previous life. Moreover, in the near future, she will also need a strong financial backing.

Watching the shop owners take the silver and leave the house contentedly, Yu Qingli couldn't help but sneer in her heart. It wouldn't be long before they would understand how to write the word regret.

Mei Hong had a bitter face, holding the small wooden box that Yu Qingli had handed back to her, her brows furrowed tightly, "Miss, what on earth is going on? Why are these people coming to collect debts as soon as you return?"

"Nothing, they just changed their mind at the last minute and are no longer willing to do business with me."

Yu Qingli said it calmly, but Mei Hong knew very well in her heart that this was not a temporary change of decision, it was clearly going back on one's word and breaking one's promise.

Seeing Mei Hong's face full of indignation, Yu Qingli sneered in her heart. Compared with her betrayal in the future, this blatant dishonesty was really nothing.

Thinking of this, his expression became even colder.

The master and servant walked from the front hall all the way to the garden, passed through the winding corridor, and strolled through the flowers. Yu Qingli suddenly found that there were many more albizzia flowers in the courtyard, and her steps couldn't help but pause.

Seeing Yu Qingli's eyes fixed on the newly planted albizzia flowers, Mei Hong's pretty face couldn't help but blush, but she quickly regained her composure. "Miss, what are you looking at?"

Yu Qingli said calmly, "It's nothing, I just didn't notice before. This albizzia flower is very unique and pleasing to the eye."

Mei Hong was delighted by Yu Qingli's praise. She pointed at the Albizia Julibrissin tree in the courtyard and said, "I also think this Albizia Julibrissin flower is very beautiful and has a good meaning. It seems that the eldest prince also likes it very much..."

As expected! Yu Qingli's eyes darkened. How did she know that Murong Feng liked the cassia flower?

Mei Hong seemed to realize that she had said something wrong, and she quickly explained: "This servant also heard the eldest prince say it occasionally, and did not deliberately intend to explore the eldest prince's preferences. Miss, please don't be angry."

Yu Qingli lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes covering the emotions in her eyes, a smile on her lips, "Meihong, why are you so nervous? Why should I be angry about such a small matter? Besides, you are snooping into these things for me, right?"

Mei Hong was a little embarrassed when she heard this and said, "Yes... yes!"

Mei Hong pretended to be polite, but she thought to herself: I must not let the young lady know about the affair between me and the eldest prince. If I deny it, the young lady may not let me follow the eldest prince as a dowry maid.

Seeing Mei Hong's strange expression, Yu Qingli smiled coldly. Perhaps, from this moment on, something unspeakable had already happened between the two of them? Even if Mei Hong tried her best to hide it, the dynamics of her transformation from a girl to a woman were still difficult to conceal.

After all, the body is the most honest!

But after not seeing each other for three days, Mei Hong had already lost her youthful immaturity and gained a bit of maturity and charm. Her every move was full of grace. After experiencing all kinds of things in her previous life, Yu Qingli judged that Mei Hong and Murong Feng were probably already husband and wife.

It's really chilling. After she walked through the brink of life and death, the first thing she knew was this!

And Murong Feng, who always said that he only loved me in this life, slept with his maid so soon. It was really ridiculous and sad!

Fortunately, after experiencing all kinds of things in her previous life, such betrayal can no longer cause her much harm. At most, it will only make her a little angry.

"Meihong, has anything happened in the mansion these days?"

Mei Hong shook her head, "Everything is fine in the mansion, Master..."

Mei Hong hesitated, not knowing whether to speak or not, but then said indignantly, "The master has never asked about the young lady's affairs."

Yu Qingli had expected Yu Zhengsha's attitude, but hearing Mei Hong say it herself, she still felt a little upset. After all, he was her biological father, and she didn't expect that he would treat her like this. Was it really related to her mother's death?

Yu Qingli became more and more determined. No matter what, she would find out the truth so that her mother in heaven could rest in peace.

Yu Qingli glanced at Mei Hong and was surprised to see some scars on her arms, which were faintly visible through the slightly thin fabric. She immediately grabbed her hand and asked curiously, looking concerned, "What's the matter with these scars?"

Mei Hong lowered her head and remained silent for a long time. Yu Qingli's tone became tougher, "Mei Hong, hurry up and speak!"

Tears of grievance welled up in Meihong's eyes. She sobbed softly and subconsciously pulled her sleeves down to try to cover up the scars.

"Miss, don't ask anymore. It's all in the past."

Yu Qingli was cold-hearted and indifferent. In fact, she guessed the origin of these scars, but if she didn't show some concern, how could she let Mei Hong feel at ease about her reborn master?

Only when the enemy's vigilance is at its lowest can you be sure of victory!

Yu Qingli looked into Mei Hong's eyes steadily, and grabbed Mei Hong's hand with force, "Mei Hong, are you protecting someone? I've only been away for three days, and you think your personal maid can be bullied by others?"

Mei Hong was touched and looked up at the angry Yu Qingli. "Miss, that's not what I meant. You are father and daughter after all. There's no need to be unhappy over a little girl like me. Besides, I was wrong at the time. I actually begged the eldest prince to save the young lady in front of the master. Naturally, the master would be unhappy. Besides, the matter has passed. There's nothing to pursue further, right?"

These seemingly vague words actually made the key points clear. First, the scar was caused by Yu Zhengsha. Second, the scar was caused in order to save the young lady.

With such skills, Yu Qingli really felt inferior to him!

When I vaguely recall my past life, it seems that Mei Hong's casual words would often turn the situation around, or even turn black into white.

It’s really shocking to think about it!

Looking at Yu Qingli's uncertain expression, Mei Hong explained seriously: "Miss, I am really fine, don't worry!"

Yu Qingli clenched her fists in anger, "Father has gone too far! No matter what, he shouldn't have tortured you!"

"I have thick skin and flesh, so these minor injuries are nothing. Besides, the master only ordered me to be locked up in the woodshed. These wounds were caused by me falling accidentally, not by torture."

Yu Qingli sighed, "Meihong, you have been wronged."

"Miss, please don't say that. Meihong is your personal maid, so naturally, she has to consider everything for you. Besides, I was too anxious that day and forgot my limits, which is why the master was so angry."

Yu Qingli nodded slightly. "Father is not the kind of person who would beat or scold servants at will. It seems that there must be a reason behind this. However, Meihong, I will definitely remember your sincerity in my heart! Although I can't promise you much wealth and glory in the future, I will definitely benefit from it."

Yu Qingli's words made Mei Hong's eyes light up, and a beautiful dimple appeared on her pink cheeks. "Miss, I don't ask for anything, but I hope that I can always be by your side and serve you in this life!"
