Shangguan Qing suddenly came to her senses and remembered an important thing, that is, she and Murong Bai seemed to have a transaction about treasure.

She smiled awkwardly and said to Murong Bai, "Murong Bai, um... I really didn't mean to forget. We just used each other at the beginning, and then I put it behind me. How about I give you the jade pendant now?"

However, Murong Bai did not respond to her proposal, but directly pulled her into the restaurant's private room.

He hugged Shangguan Qing tightly and whispered, "Qing'er, I don't want the treasure anymore, I only want you!"

Shangguan Qing opened his eyes wide and was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

But at this moment, Murong Bai's low and magnetic voice sounded again: "Qing'er, quickly enter the space, your husband wants you now!"

Shangguan Qing had no choice but to obey Murong Bai and enter the space.

The two of them soon embraced each other and responded to each other's passion.

After a period of passionate lovemaking, Shangguan Qing was exhausted, but he still forced himself to pack his clothes.

Then, the two walked out of the space.

Murong Bai clapped his hands, and immediately delicious food was brought into the room.

While eating delicious food, Shangguan Qing recalled everything that had just happened. He couldn't help but blush and his heart began to beat fast. He looked out the window and saw his eldest cousin and Liu Lian'er walking into the restaurant one after another.

Shangguan Qing's eyes widened after seeing this, his face filled with disbelief, and he began to stutter: "Mu... Murong Bai, what a revelation! Are they really a couple?"

Murong Bai smiled slightly and said calmly, "Qing'er, don't worry about other people's affairs. Your cousin is destined to lose his beloved."

Shangguan Qing felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, and pouted and said, "Why? My cousin is so outstanding, how can this be possible?"

Murong Bai shook his head helplessly and explained softly, "The friendship between these two is not a short one. It is said that when Liu Lian'er was in her teens, she was almost kidnapped while traveling, and it was your cousin who saved her. Since then, the two of them have exchanged letters and developed feelings for each other. Later, your aunt proposed marriage, but was rejected. The reason was that although the family was well-educated, it was too poor and they couldn't bear to see their daughter suffer."

Shangguan Qing was surprised after hearing this and quickly asked, "But my uncle's family is very wealthy now?"

Murong Bai shook his head helplessly again and sighed, "Qing'er, that's just a rejection. As the Second Prince's in-laws, the Liu family naturally has to fully support him. The closest connection is nothing more than marriage, so there's nothing we can do about it."

Shangguan Qing said in disbelief, "Are you saying that Liu Lian'er will marry the Second Prince?"

Murong Bai spoke again with a hint of admiration, "Not really. In order to escape her marriage, Liu Lian'er has refused to go out and even attempted suicide before. Therefore, she has not yet married the Second Prince."

Shangguan Qing also admired Liu Lian'er a little and said firmly, "I will take care of their affairs!"

After saying that, Shangguan Qing went downstairs and went straight to their room. Murong Bai had no choice but to follow him lovingly, but Shangguan Qing regretted it the moment he opened the door.

The two of them were seen hugging each other, their clothes soaked with tears, looking at Shangguan Qing in panic.

Shangguan Qing smiled awkwardly, then greeted the two of them cheekily: "Haha, cousin, cousin-in-law, I'm here to help!"

Liu Lian'er's face instantly turned red, and she lowered her head and whispered, "I'm leaving first!"

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Shangguan Qing saw this and hurried forward to block Liu Lian'er's way, saying anxiously: "Lian'er, I really am here to help! You must believe me!"

Liu Lian'er raised her head and looked into Shangguan Qing's sincere eyes. She hesitated for a moment and finally stopped, but a trace of helplessness and sadness still appeared on her face: "Qing'er, there's nothing we can do about it. I'm the only daughter in the Liu family..."

Shangguan Qing smiled slightly and said comfortingly, "So what? That's their business, not yours. Besides, I can guarantee that the Second Prince will never become the Crown Prince, let alone marry you."

Yu Jin, who was standing by, quickly understood what Shangguan Qing meant when she heard this. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Qing'er, is everything you said true?"

Shangguan Qing nodded, looked at Liu Lian'er, and emphasized again: "Of course it's true, don't worry. However, I want to remind you that if the Liu family can abide by the law, they may be able to live a stable life; but if they have any unreasonable intentions, the consequences may be serious."

At this point, what he said was already very clear. He also had to see Liu Lian'er's reaction. If she cared a lot about the family, he would be helpless and unable to help the two of them.

Unexpectedly, Liu Lian'er didn't care at all. Instead, she said sarcastically, "Haha, whatever the Liu family does has nothing to do with me. My mother is gone, and my father only cares about his future and interests. He doesn't treat me as a human being at all. How can I have anything to do with such a family in the future?"

Shangguan Qing also understood the relationship, so he said: "In this case, Lian'er should try to leave the Liu Mansion. Concubine Qi has become the queen, and she will definitely want to take the next step, so we must hurry."

Yu Jin held Liu Lian'er's hand tightly and said, "Lian'er, listen to your cousin!"

Liu Lian'er was filled with gratitude and knelt down to express her gratitude, saying, "Lian'er thanks you so much, Princess Regent!"

Shangguan Qing hurriedly helped her up and said gently, "From now on, you will be my cousin's wife. We shouldn't kneel like this. Go back and get ready. I think it's time for my cousin to start preparing to get married."

Shangguan Qing smiled and pulled Murong Bai away, leaving Liu Lian'er and Yu Jin with meaningful smiles on their faces.

Shangguan Qing didn't hesitate. Since he wanted to do it, he did it immediately. Then, Shangguan Qing turned to Murong Bai and said, "Murong Bai, let's go to the Second Prince's Mansion now!"

Murong Bai smiled helplessly and took Shangguan Qing directly to the Second Prince's Mansion.

The second prince went out to greet them personally, warmly welcomed them into the study, and then knelt down to salute them without hesitation.

Shangguan Qing saw the Second Prince's expression and said irritably, "Alright, alright, these are all useless. I'm here for one thing: to propose marriage to Liu Lian'er of the Liu Mansion on behalf of my cousin. The Liu Mansion needs you to mediate. If the Liu Mansion is truly dissatisfied, they can sever ties with Liu Lian'er!"

Now that things had come to this, the Second Prince naturally understood. He had naturally heard about the affair between Liu Lian'er and Yu Jin. He knew that when he ascended the throne, he would naturally have countless beauties. He didn't care at all and quickly agreed.

"Don't worry, Princess. This matter will be resolved today."

Shangguan Qing was extremely satisfied. "Okay, then I'll wait and see."

Not to mention, Shangguan Qing now once again feels that the title of Regent Princess is very useful.
