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

"Eat more, I prepared it specially for you." Shen Yunheng personally scooped a bowl of ginseng soup and handed it to Meng Tingyue.

Meng Tingyue suddenly realized that the dishes neatly arranged in front of her were all her favorite delicacies.

A subtle thought quietly emerged in his mind - could these be all prepared by the prince in the kitchen?

Her eyes couldn't help but look towards the noble person beside her.

Shen Yunheng used a serving chopstick to pick up some food for Meng Tingyue. Noticing her gaze, he turned his head slightly and his eyes met hers.

When Meng Tingyue noticed that he was looking at her, she panicked and quickly lowered her head to taste the ginseng soup to hide the blush that inadvertently appeared on her cheeks.

Meng Dongliang picked up a piece of vegetarian golden pheasant meat and put it into his mouth, with surprise in his eyes.

He slowly turned to Shen Yunheng, speaking with a hint of reproach and dissatisfaction: "My nephew-in-law, the servants in your house really have no manners at all."

"First, that ignorant maid violently broke my wrist after a disagreement."

"Besides, the servants in my courtyard are still talking nonsense, saying that our family is so poor that they are reluctant to replace the old tea set in my room with a new one."

"If a person like this who is full of lies were to remain in the mansion, he would definitely corrupt the morale of the mansion."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunheng raised his eyebrows slightly, but his expression remained calm: "Oh? Is this true?"

"It's in my yard. If my nephew-in-law doesn't believe it, he can go and check it out." Meng Dongliang was overjoyed to see that Shen Yunheng was moved, and he said quickly.

After a pause, he added, "There was another maid who acted recklessly yesterday and hurt me. My nephew-in-law must find that girl. You don't have to drive her out of the mansion. Just hand her over to me and I will handle it properly."

Meng Tingyue frowned slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, but she did not rush to speak.

She had mentioned this matter to the prince yesterday, and now she wanted to see how the prince would deal with it.

"This is absolutely unacceptable. If it is really as my uncle said, I will thoroughly investigate this matter and severely punish the offending maid. I will not tolerate it at all."

Shen Yunheng paused for a moment, then continued, "Uncle, please feel free to tell me the whole story of yesterday. I will immediately send someone to investigate."

When Meng Dongliang heard this, a barely perceptible hesitation flashed in his eyes.

"I think it's just a trivial matter. Perhaps the maid was anxious and caused a misunderstanding. My niece's husband just needs to find her, and I will personally clarify the misunderstanding with her. I only hope that she can sincerely repent and apologize to me, and then this matter will be over."

"Uncle, please don't be so distant with me. I will seek justice for you and will not tolerate any injustice." Shen Yunheng's tone was gentle but firm. He then raised his voice slightly and ordered, "Come here, bring the person up."

Qinglan is among them.

Shen Yunheng said in a deep voice, "Uncle, please come and identify yourself. I wonder who offended you yesterday?"

Hearing this, Meng Dongliang pointed his finger at Qinglan, his tone filled with indignation that was difficult to conceal: "It was the woman in the green shirt. It was she who broke my wrist."

After he finished speaking, he raised his foot to approach Qinglan, saying as he walked: "Since the culprit has been found, I will take her away first."

However, before Meng Dongliang's footsteps could reach Qinglan, he was stopped by Ling Qi.

Seeing Ling Qi, Meng Dongliang felt his hand begin to ache again. Fear and resentment flickered in his eyes as he looked at Ling Qi. "My nephew-in-law, this servant who doesn't know the rules once violated my rules and injured my hand."

"Ling Qi, is this true?" Shen Yunheng's face was calm.

Ling Qi reacted quickly, without the slightest hesitation, and admitted his mistake, "It's my fault."

"You will receive the punishment later."

"It's Your Highness."

Meng Tingyue's heart tightened when she heard this. She quickly reached out and held Shen Yunheng's hand, her eyes full of anxiety: "Husband, this matter..."

Shen Yunheng gently raised his hand, covered the back of her delicate hand, and gave her a soothing look.

Meng Tingyue's heart calmed down instantly.

Shen Yunheng retracted his gaze and turned to Qinglan, who was kneeling on the ground. He said in a deep voice, "Qinglan, tell me what happened yesterday and why you hurt him."

"Reporting to Your Highness, yesterday..." Qinglan began to narrate everything that happened yesterday in an orderly manner, stating every detail clearly.

However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Meng Dongliang's rough voice.

"You ignorant slave, how dare you talk nonsense here and try to slander me! I am Meng Dongliang, a person of such status that I can have any woman I want. How could I be interested in a mere maid like you?"

Meng Dongliang had a face full of anger and was about to move forward, but was quickly stopped by Ling Qi who was standing beside him.

Meng Dongliang tried his best to push Ling Qi away but failed, and could only watch Qinglan tell everything.

As soon as Qinglan finished speaking, Meng Dongliang started to cry out for justice impatiently.

"My nephew-in-law, this maid is full of nonsense. You can't believe it."

Shen Yunheng looked calm, his eyes passing through the crowd indifferently, "Since that's the case, let's listen to what others have to say."

Several maids beside Qinglan came forward and recounted what happened yesterday in detail one after another.

As they spoke, Meng Dongliang suddenly remembered that these maids were also present yesterday.

His face turned pale instantly, his lips trembled, and he was filled with panic. "No, no, they are talking nonsense. They colluded to frame me."

"If I really did such a despicable thing, why didn't I call that maid to confront her?"

"Enough." Meng Tingyue didn't know whether the prince had found Xiaoque. After all, she had quietly sent the innocent girl out of the mansion yesterday.

After what happened yesterday, she was afraid that the little girl would not be able to bear it if she saw Meng Dongliang's ugly face.

"They know you are my uncle, so why would they collude to harm you for no reason?"

"Qinglan, come here."

"Even now, uncle still refuses to admit it?" Meng Tingyue's eyes were deep, as if he could see through people's hearts.

When Meng Dongliang saw Qinglan coming to Meng Tingyue's side, his eyes suddenly widened, "She is your maid!"

Meng Tingyue's eyes moved slightly, but she did not comment.

Meng Dongliang gritted his teeth in anger.

He said that he went to see Meng Tingyue yesterday, why did Meng Tingyue treat him like that? It turned out that the maid was Meng Tingyue's maid, no wonder...

Meng Dongliang instantly connected all of this.

Thinking of this, Meng Dongliang gritted his teeth and decided to go for broke.

"Hmph, she's just a servile little girl who serves others. The fact that I even look upon her is simply a blessing she's earned in eight lifetimes. I've already promised her the position of principal wife, so what else can she complain about?"

"Isn't it unfair for my niece to protect her maid like this?"

Meng Tingyue's face was cold, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She responded: "I am a maid, and I am acting bravely for justice. How can I be accused of shielding you?"

"If this happened outside the palace, if I encountered such a dirty thing, I would definitely order Qinglan to take action and teach that blind man a lesson on my behalf, so that he would not be able to commit evil again."

This statement came out.

All the men on the field felt a chill run down their spines.
