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

"I have sent people to guard Beiyuan and will not let him in." Meng Tingyue said everything in an orderly manner, then stared at Shen Yunheng waiting for his reply.

Shen Yunheng nodded gently, his expression full of trust: "I can trust you to do the job."

Meng Tingyue blinked and felt a warmth in her heart.

"Now that you know your father-in-law cheated on your mother-in-law, do you want to know where your other relatives are?"

Meng Tingyue was stunned for a moment before she realized that he was talking about her grandparents who should have been nothing but bones.

"Your Highness means... that you are willing to help me find it?"

Shen Yunheng nodded firmly, "If you need it, I can help you find it. I am your husband, not an outsider. You can trust me."

"Thank you very much, my husband." Meng Tingyue raised her lips and smiled.

"We are husband and wife, we shouldn't say thank you." A hint of displeasure appeared in Shen Yunheng's eyes.

"My husband is so nice." Meng Tingyue accepted it well and changed very quickly.

Shen Yunheng's eyes fell on her beautiful eyes that seemed to have magic.

After a moment, he slowly lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "I have already found the escorts you need. If you need them, I can send them directly to find you."

"So fast?" A hint of surprise appeared in Meng Tingyue's eyes.

"The court is having a headache about how to deal with those injured veterans. Your proposal will undoubtedly solve the court's urgent problem." Shen Yunheng explained lightly.

"But don't worry, the injuries on the people I assigned to you aren't particularly harmful. And if they're just escorting, they don't have to run many times a year, so it won't have a significant impact."

This is not what Meng Tingyue cares about. After all, they have been on the battlefield and are organized. It will definitely be faster than her suddenly finding a group of people to train again.

It's just an old injury, it's not a big deal, at worst I can just hire a few more people.

Meng Tingyue expectedly: "How many people are there?"

"However much you need, I can find it for you."

Meng Tingyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she pleaded, "I wonder if those soldiers could lend me a few more of them to guard the shop for me. I'll pay them."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunheng nodded without hesitation, "Okay."

Meng Tingyue solved two problems at once and felt happy.

She subconsciously stretched out her hands and gently wrapped them around Shen Yunheng's waist, her voice full of excitement and gratitude: "My husband is so, so, so, so good!"

Now, she saved herself the trouble of looking for warriors everywhere.

Shen Yunheng was shocked by this unexpected hug. His dark eyes slowly widened, and he slowly stretched out his hands at his side. Just as he was about to hug back, the person in his arms suddenly withdrew.

Meng Tingyue suddenly opened her mouth and asked inquiringly, "Are there any soldiers in the court who have been discharged due to injuries?"

She had an idea.

When Shen Yunheng mentioned this, a hint of helplessness and regret appeared in his dark eyes. He nodded gently and said, "The court intends to find them a suitable job, but the personnel in the capital are already saturated, and it is difficult to add new positions easily."

"Many things in the world require specialized skills, and delicate work cannot be learned in just a few days. They don't have enough time, nor may they be able to master those complex techniques."

"Moreover, many of them are seriously injured and unable to perform the various labors."

Although Shen Yunheng wanted to take them in and bring them into his mansion and give them a job, how many could he save by himself?

"If my husband trusts me, I have some shops under my control that might allow them to try their hand at some simple tasks, such as grinding medicinal powder and checking the quantity of goods."

It just so happened that she was planning to open some new shops, and there were many veterans in the old shops, and she wanted to assign some of them to manage the new shops.

As a result, both the old and new shops require a lot of manpower.

If these retired soldiers are capable of doing the job, they can not only solve the staffing problem of her shop, but also help the court solve its problems, killing two birds with one stone.

Shen Yunheng knew very well that since she came up with this idea, she must be confident and sure of success.

His fingertips trembled slightly, and he raised his hand without saying a word and embraced the person in front of him. The strength was as if he wanted to merge her with himself and never separate her again.

Meng Tingyue was so shocked by his sudden intimate behavior that she dared not move. She felt her heart beating like a drum and her heart pounding.

Her ear was pressed against his chest, and she could only hear Shen Yunheng's steady and powerful heartbeat beating in her eardrum.

After a while, she heard Shen Yunheng's low and magnetic voice coming from above her head: "Thank you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Meng Tingyue slowly raised her eyes and looked at Shen Yunheng. Her pink lips curled up slightly, and her eyes softened, curving into a crescent shape.

"My husband just said that husband and wife shouldn't express gratitude, so why are you expressing gratitude now?"

Shen Yunheng's gaze fell on her pink lips that were constantly moving, and the desire in his black eyes deepened quietly.

He lowered his eyes slightly, and in an irresistible gesture, gently kissed the chattering little lips.

Meng Tingyue's eyes suddenly widened, and the sudden warmth and touch on her lips made her forget to react in an instant.

It wasn't until she felt a gentle bite on her soft lips that she slowly came back to her senses, a blush staining her cheeks.

A strong arm tightly bound her waist. Meng Tingyue found that she had no way to retreat and could only helplessly endure this sudden intimacy.

"Hmm~" She moaned softly, her hands weakly patting Shen Yunheng's solid chest, her cheeks dyed red by the sunset, revealing shyness and panic.

Shen Yunheng gradually noticed Meng Tingyue's subtle resistance, and a bitter feeling arose in his heart, mistakenly thinking that it was a deep disgust towards himself.

The hand on the back of her head loosened its grip, and Meng Tingyue was freed, like a dehydrated moon returning to the lake, breathing in deep gulps of fresh air.

My mind was blank, and no thoughts could come together.

Seeing this, Shen Yunheng was suddenly filled with regret and self-blame. He knew that he was too anxious and too close, causing the person in front of him to forget even the most basic breathing.

After thinking it through, his heart, which had turned cold due to misunderstanding, slowly warmed up.

Suddenly, Meng Tingyue felt something gently pressing against her waist. At that moment, a hint of panic appeared in her eyes.

She hurriedly raised her hand, pressing her palm against Shen Yunheng's solid chest, trying to push him away with a bit of panic and helplessness.

Although the woman was not as strong as the man, she still pushed him away.

Because Shen Yunheng let go.

Meng Tingyue was like a frightened deer, covering her face with one hand and her lips with the other, and fled to the bed in a disorderly manner. Her autumn-like eyes were filled with shyness and panic, which had never completely faded away.

Those red lips had just been picked and were redder than the apples.

Shen Yunheng looked at her with even more lust in his eyes.

"You take a rest first, I'll go out for a while."

He spoke in a low voice and turned around to leave before he finished speaking.

"Wait." Meng Tingyue called out to him.
