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

Meng Tingyue looked calm and unmoved. "Sister, you are dressed simply and elegantly today. Are you going to a banquet?"

Meng Qingjiao's smile paused. "Wearing such plain clothes for a banquet is really embarrassing for Daddy."

Meng Tingyue's eyes fell on the medical book in her hand, unmoved.

Seeing this, Meng Qingjiao's back teeth moved slightly, and she added, "And it's embarrassing for my sister."

Meng Tingyue then looked up from her medical book and asked in confusion, "It's you who's going to the banquet, not me. Why are you embarrassing me?"

Meng Qingjiao smiled awkwardly, "Mom and Dad always say that sisters are one. If I lose face, I'm also losing face for my sister. What's more, my sister will become the Crown Princess in the future. I can't let others gossip about her because of me."

"If Second Miss is really worried that my daughter will be gossiped about in the future, she shouldn't dress casually to the banquet." Nanny Qin knew what she was thinking and scolded her with a cold face.

"For a girl, the most important thing is her own face. Instead of coming to my girl to complain, why not go to Jiang and ask for some money to send someone to buy two new sets of clothes and a new headdress immediately?"

Meng Qingjiao knew that the old man was back, and she couldn't avoid being scolded when she came to get something.

He could only repeatedly hint to Meng Tingyue with pitiful looks, hoping that Meng Tingyue would say a few words for him.

What I saw was a cold medical book cover.

She cursed in her heart: What's wrong with Meng Tingyue today? She has hinted so clearly, why hasn't she mentioned giving her clothes and jewelry yet?

And this old bastard, he couldn't even tell who was in power in this palace. He deserved to be drowned in the lotus pond.

If the Fifth Prince had not returned today, and she had no suitable clothes or headgear in her room, why would she have come here to suffer such humiliation?

In the past, when the shop had new clothes, Meng Tingyue would specially have two sets made, one of which would be delivered to her, and new hair and facial makeup would also be delivered for her to choose from. Why was it different today? Could it be...

Meng Qingjiao became suspicious.

Meng Tingyue used all her patience to keep her fingertips from shaking.

She covered her face with the medical book to hide the gloating smile on her face.

In the past, she was brainwashed by Jiang Qingrou, and when she encountered such a situation, she would either send Qin Ma away or speak up for Meng Qingjiao and speak harshly to Qin Ma. Now she realized that Qin Ma was so offensive that Meng Qingjiao even blushed.

She doesn't even have to do anything.

In the past, whenever the shop had new items, she would give a portion to Meng Qingjiao. It just so happened that the shop delivered new goods yesterday, but because it was late, she didn't pick any.

I woke up early this morning and took a look at it, and put the portion belonging to Meng Qingjiao into my private vault.

That's why Meng Qingjiao came over to ask for things.

He wanted it just because he wanted it, but he was too proud to let it go and hinted to her in a roundabout way, wanting her to give it to him on her own initiative. He was just like Jiang Qingrou.

But it is not easy for her to fall out with Meng Qingjiao now.

After thinking about countless sad things, she suppressed the smile on her face and closed the medical book. Meng Qingjiao didn't expect that she would suddenly put the medical book away, and the suspicion in her eyes had not yet disappeared.

Seeing this, Meng Tingyue pretended to be a little embarrassed, "I know why my sister came here. Yesterday, the shop under my management did send some new styles of clothes and headwear, but..."

"But what?"

Seeing Meng Qingjiao take the bait, Meng Tingyue covered her lips with a handkerchief and hesitated, "But the embroiderer made a mistake in the size when making the clothes. She made it my size. I'm afraid my sister can't wear it."

Meng Qingjiao's face twisted for a moment.

What does Meng Tingyue mean? Is she implying that she is fat?

"Sister, you know that if clothes are too big, you can make them smaller, but if they are too small, you can't make them bigger. That's why I didn't ask anyone to send it to you."

Meng Tingyue has a slimmer frame than Meng Qingjiao and is taller.

When her mother passed away, she was still young, not even seven years old. Jiang Qingrou moved into the Meng Mansion on the pretext that her mother had asked her to take good care of her, and eventually became her stepmother.

Jiang Qingrou was really good to her. She used her mother's money to buy all kinds of delicacies from land and sea and fed her with fish and meat every day.

On the surface, it was to nourish her body and prevent Meng Qingjiao from eating too much. In fact, when she thought about it carefully, Jiang Qingrou was just trying to feed her in various ways, and was afraid that Meng Qingjiao would get fat if she ate too much.

After eating like that for a month, Meng Tingyue didn't gain any weight and even grew taller.

On the contrary, Meng Qingjiao's face became a lot rounder, and since then, the food in the mansion gradually returned to normal.

At that time, she thought Jiang Qingrou really loved her and was very touched. Once, when Meng Qingjiao complained about her few clothes and envied her for having many clothes, she directly said that in the future, she would share any clothes she had with Meng Qingjiao.

Even if there was only one piece, she would deliberately let the embroiderer give more space around the waist so that it would fit her properly, and if Meng Qingjiao liked it and wanted to take it away, she could wear it.

If you count carefully, this situation lasted for five years.

Meng Tingyue felt distressed when she thought about the past five years when new goods from the shop were delivered to Meng Qingjiao every month for her to choose.

It's all pure silver.

She must find a way to get her money back with interest.

Meng Qingjiao cursed Meng Tingyue countless times in her heart before she touched her face and smiled awkwardly, "I'm not fat, sister, you're talking nonsense. I can definitely wear that dress. Why don't you send someone to bring it over so I can try it on?"

He is determined to get the clothes, why is the banquet so important?

Meng Tingyue seemed to be lost in thought. "This... won't do. It's uncomfortable to wear clothes that don't fit. If it's not important, Sister Yan, just put it off for now. I'll send someone to the shop to order a few pieces for you to wear in the future."

Seeing this, Meng Qingjiao could only tell the truth, "To be honest, sister, the banquet I'm attending this time was invited by the Fifth Prince, and I can't decline."

"If I wasn't really anxious, I wouldn't come to beg you, sister. Please let me try. You wouldn't have the heart to see me lose face at the banquet, would you?"

It turned out that the fifth prince had returned, two days earlier than in his previous life.

Meng Tingyue didn't know what had happened that caused the fifth prince to return two days earlier. She just hoped that this change would not affect what happened later.

"I see. Since my sister is asking sincerely, I can't refuse. Qinglan, go get the new goods from the shop and let the second young lady try them."

Nanny Qin was a little anxious when she heard this, "Miss."

Meng Tingyue held Nanny Qin's hand and patted it, then smiled gently at her, "Nanny, Daddy always said that sisters in the mansion should help each other, and share the same glory and adversity."

"My sister is in trouble and sincerely asks for help. How can I, as her elder sister, not give it to her? Besides, if my sister really likes it, she won't take it for free. She will also spend money."

Hearing that she had to spend money to buy it, Meng Qingjiao became a little anxious, "Sister, you still need money? Don't you usually not spend money?"

Meng Tingyue explained gently, "Usually, I specially ordered the size of the clothes and sent them to you. I gave them to you on my own initiative, so they are not mine. Today, the clothes you want are from my closet, which is mine. The two are different."

Meng Qingjiao didn't notice anything different after hearing this. She said in a gloomy tone, "Sister, you're so stingy. You have so many clothes that you can't wear them all. It's a waste to keep them. Why don't you give me two?"

She had just seen that there were quite a few new clothes in the closet, all styles she had never seen before.
