Reborn to marry, the short-lived prince lived a hundred years

Meng Tingyue nodded with a smile, "That's right. I specially added some calming herbs so that this ointment will not only leave a lingering fragrance but also help calm the mind and soothe thoughts."

Princess Luojia said happily, "This is a new way to make money...but will the production cost be high?"

"It can be used on ordinary women." Meng Tingyue was well prepared.

Princess Luojia suggested, "Sister-in-law, you can also use some expensive floral scents to make this ointment and sell it to noble ladies."

"I have the same plan."

"When does the Empress Dowager plan to open the shop?"

"Once we've confirmed the effectiveness of these ointments, we can hire someone to produce them."

Princess Luo Jia's eyes turned, and she said with a smile, "Then the Empress Dowager will give me a few boxes, and I will help you promote it."

"I couldn't ask for more." Meng Tingyue smiled.

……

After Meng Dongliang was carried back to the yard, he lay in bed for half a day. The pain in his hand gradually disappeared. He also believed Meng Tingyue's words that she knew medical skills.

"Someone come here." He shouted.

Then, a servant hurried into the room, bowed and asked, "What do you need, sir?"

Meng Dongliang raised his eyes slightly, with a look of scrutiny and dissatisfaction in his eyes, and waved his hand gently: "No need, you step aside, let someone else come."

Upon hearing this, the servant slowly walked out of the door.

Not long after, another servant came in, but he also failed to catch Meng Dongliang's eye. He frowned and sent the person out again.

After driving away four people in a row, Meng Dongliang finally became impatient and said with a hint of displeasure in his voice: "I want a maid to serve me."

The servant's expression became embarrassed. "Sir, this is really embarrassing for us. There are only a few of us serving you in this courtyard, no maids."

"What? No maid? Where is the maid?" Meng Dongliang's voice involuntarily rose a few degrees, his face full of disbelief.

"Your Excellency, the maids are all serving diligently in the Crown Princess's courtyard, while others are on duty in the North Garden." The servant answered cautiously.

Meng Dongliang was not a fool. He immediately knew that it was his good niece who did it.

A surge of anger rushed to his head. He swung his hand violently, sweeping an ornament on the table beside him to the ground, and shouted angrily: "Get out, get out!"

The servant turned pale with fright and retreated awkwardly, not daring to say another word.

Meng Dongliang was so angry that he found some things in the house and smashed them.

After smashing it, he looked at the mess on the ground with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

He had clearly gone to file a complaint today, but his good niece was clearly trying to protect the maid and didn't even mention punishing her.

He must find a way to find that maid.

Meng Tingyue didn't mention it, so he made the decision himself.

Thinking of this, he cleared his throat and called out loudly: "Someone come."

A servant hurried into the room with a respectful look.

Meng Dongliang lay on the bed and leisurely ordered, "Clean up the room."

He pointed at one of the people who was cleaning up, "You, come here."

The servant, holding a broom, stepped forward lightly, bowed and asked, "What are your orders, sir?"

Meng Dongliang's eyes flickered as he asked, "What exactly is the Beiyuan you mentioned?"

"My Lord, Beiyuan is a residence specially prepared for the ladies of the mansion."

Meng Dongliang was a little curious: "Girl? What girl? A maid? Or the prince's concubine?"

"That's not the case. They are all distinguished guests temporarily staying in the mansion, guests of the prince." The servant answered in a low voice.

Hearing this, Meng Dongliang couldn't help but sneer: "Tsk, what is the prince doing keeping a few girls in the mansion for no reason?"

He didn't believe that there would be an innocent girl living in a man's house for no reason. He didn't believe there was any trick involved.

"Don't misunderstand, my lord. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never been to Beiyuan. Those girls are just guests of the mansion." The servant spoke sincerely and would not tolerate anyone else slandering the Crown Prince in the slightest.

Upon hearing this, Meng Dongliang glanced at the servant with disdain, too lazy to waste words with such a person.

"Where is Beiyuan?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the servants fell silent, clearly wanting to keep their mouths shut and not reveal a single word to Meng Dongliang.

No matter how Meng Dongliang used both soft and hard tactics, the servant still gritted his teeth and said nothing.

"Forget it, if you don't want to tell me, get out."

The man left quickly.

Meng Dongliang leaned on the bed, thinking about finding an opportunity to explore Beiyuan tomorrow.

Assuming his residence was in the West Garden, then the North Garden would be next to it.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Meng Dongliang's face.

……

Meng Tingyue finished her dinner and then slowly walked back on the moon.

As soon as he entered the door, Yan Hong came to greet him and reported in a low voice everything that happened in Xiyuan.

Meng Tingyue's expression remained unchanged after hearing this. She opened her lips and said slowly, "How much silver are those broken items worth in total?"

Yan Hong bowed her head and replied respectfully, "According to the Crown Princess's instructions, the total value of the items thrown in the house did not exceed thirty taels."

Meng Tingyue nodded nonchalantly, her gesture revealing a nonchalant indifference.

"There's no need to buy anything new. If he asks, just tell him that the government spent ten thousand taels of silver on disaster relief last time, and now the treasury is empty and can't afford more. Just let him make do with what he has for now."

"If he really can't stand it, then he can buy some more things out of his own pocket. As for those that were accidentally broken, write them down one by one. He can go to the Meng Mansion to ask for them back later."

Hearing this, Yan Hong's eyes flashed with surprise, but she didn't dare to say anything more. She just nodded silently and agreed: "Yes."

"He also asked about Beiyuan, but no one told him where it was."

Hearing this, Meng Tingyue instantly guessed what he was thinking, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

"Have someone guard Beiyuan and don't let him in. Also, send someone to tell the girls inside not to leave Beiyuan for the next few days. If any girl asks why..."

"Just tell me the truth. If there are any other incidents later, it has nothing to do with us."

"Go ahead and make arrangements immediately."

Yan Hong accepted the order and withdrew.

After a while, Qinglan and Qingdian walked into the house.

One could vaguely see from Qinglan's demeanor that he was inconvenienced.

Seeing this, Meng Tingyue's face turned cold. He gently closed the medical book in his hand and said in a deep voice: "If you are injured, rest up and come back to work."

Qinglan smiled stubbornly and said, "I'm fine."

"If I encounter an accident while I'm out, seeing how you look, should Qingdian protect you or me?"

After hearing this, Qinglan was unwilling but had to leave in disappointment.

Meng Tingyue turned to look at Qingdian and said softly, "Tonight, you should spend more time with her and enlighten her. Don't let her get stuck in a rut. I have others here to serve her."

Qingdian remained unmoved and said firmly, "I will wait until the Crown Princess has rested before going over."

Meng Tingyue had no choice but to pick up the medical books and read them again.

Qing Dian didn't leave until Shen Yunheng walked into the house.

Meng Tingyue told Shen Yunheng what happened during the day in advance to avoid him misunderstanding.
