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

"Second Miss, what you said is not right. Brothers should settle accounts clearly. What status does Second Miss have in asking my daughter to give her away? The master's goddaughter? Or my daughter's sister who has no relatives or friends?"

"Look at how skilled the second young lady is at begging. I thought she was one of those uneducated people out there."

"If you really feel that you don't have enough clothes in your house, you should go to Jiang and ask for money to buy some, instead of begging here."

Nanny Qin's words were very rude and she didn't leave Meng Qingjiao any face at all.

Meng Tingyue stood aside and watched with interest as Meng Qingjiao blushed and felt extremely ashamed after being told what Nanny Qin said.

Meng Qingjiao lowered her head, feeling extremely resentful towards Nanny Qin.

This old woman, why doesn’t she just die earlier? Living one more month would be a blessing for her.

It is true that a dog follows his master. If the master has a short life, the dog will also have a short life.

She found Meng Tingyue standing there like a fool, and did not speak up to help her out, so she started to hate Meng Tingyue.

"Second Miss, this is the dress you wanted." Qinglan came over holding a Yanluo skirt.

Qingdian was very considerate and shook out her clothes for Meng Qingjiao to see.

Seeing this, Meng Tingyue cast a gratified look.

The clothes slowly spread out as Qinglan moved, and the fabric was shining with tiny shimmers, like the shimmering surface of a lake under the sun. There were also two pearl tassel strings on the waist.

With just one glance, Meng Qingjiao could already imagine how stunning this dress would look on her.

The fifth prince would definitely be amazed by her when he sees her.

She couldn't wait to snatch the skirt from Qingdian's hand.

"This pearl yarn is so beautiful."

"How did the second young lady know that this was pearl gauze?" Qing Lan was curious. "Pearl gauze is new to the shop, shipped from Jiangnan. It seems to be rarely used in the capital."

Meng Qingjiao was startled, and said with a guilty conscience, "I guessed... After all, the touch and luster are just like pearls."

"Sister, this dress is so beautiful. If I can wear it to meet the fifth prince, it will definitely make you and father proud." Meng Qingjiao held the dress and gestured on her body.

Meng Tingyue played dumb, as if she didn't understand her hint.

"Girl, it's time to take your medicine." Qingdian brought the prepared medicine into the house.

After Meng Tingyue finished drinking, Nanny Qin handed her a small bowl of candied fruit and said, "Young lady, have some candied fruit to reduce the bitterness."

Nanny Qin held the plate and looked at Meng Qingjiao and said, "If the second young lady thinks this pearl gauze is beautiful, she can go to the shop now and order two pieces. If the dress sells out in a few days, the second young lady won't be able to buy it for a long time."

Nanny Qin stepped forward to take the clothes back, and Meng Qingjiao became anxious.

"I'm just borrowing it to wear and will return it when I'm done."

"It seems that the second young lady has never returned the clothes she borrowed from my young lady." Qinglan said silently.

Meng Qingjiao blushed, "I'll buy it, isn't it okay if I buy it?"

Seeing this, Meng Tingyue wiped her fingertips and asked, "Second sister, are you sure you don't want to try it on first to see if it fits?"

"If my sister can wear clothes, I can wear them too."

After saying that, Meng Qingjiao directly asked someone to pay the money.

She suppressed her heartache and couldn't wait to leave with her clothes.

Qinglan: "Miss, is this dress a bit expensive?"

Meng Tingyue retracted her gaze, raised her eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "The income from this dress is much more than this little money. Besides, what did she take from me? This extra money can barely be considered interest."

"Put the silver away, let's go for a walk outside and come back after dark."

Hearing this, Qing Dian asked, "What about the medicinal herbs..."

"I won't watch it today, go and pack your things quickly."

Meng Tingyue urged Qinglan Qingdian to pack up.

"Why are you in such a hurry, girl? You're just going out for a trip, what do you need to pack?" Qinglan muttered.

"I don't know." Qingdian shook his head.

"Madame Qin will also come with us." Meng Tingyue added, "Let's go to the temple to pray and ask for a peace amulet."

Nanny Qin nodded.

After everything was tidied up, Meng Tingyue took people to discuss this matter with Lord Meng.

After hearing this, Lord Meng frowned and disagreed, "Bandits are rampant outside the capital. It's too dangerous for you to go out alone."

"Father, it only takes half an hour to get from the capital to Tianfu Temple. Besides, the prince has already sent people to deal with the bandit issue. With martial law in place, the bandits will definitely not dare to commit crimes. Father, send some more people to protect your daughter, and she will be fine."

What Meng Tingyue said makes sense and has evidence.

Lord Meng looked at her in surprise, "How did you know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had sent people to deal with the bandits?"

"This is what the prince told me when I met him last time."

Lord Meng's eyebrows moved slightly, the word "川" appeared faintly, and a look of deep thought appeared in his eyes.

Meng Tingyue acted as if she hadn't seen anything and started to talk nonsense, "Dad, I've been feeling uneasy these past two days, as if something bad is going to happen. Just let me go, I'll be back soon."

Lord Meng was adamant, "No, if you really want to go out, go to the banquet with your sister."

"It's fine that you were weak and unwilling to go out in the past, but you will marry into the royal family and become a queen in the future. You will have to deal with the ladies of various families. You need to go out more, meet people, and make friends."

"It's settled. Go back and change your clothes. You'll go to the banquet with Jiaojiao later. It'll also be a good opportunity for you to show your face in front of the Fifth Prince."

After saying this, Lord Meng waved his hand and drove Meng Tingyue out.

Meng Tingyue didn't expect that not only could she not go to Tianfu Temple, but she also had to follow Meng Qingjiao to meet the fifth prince.

-

When Meng Qingjiao found out that she had to bring Meng Tingyue with her to the banquet, she was so angry that she almost couldn't hold her breath.

"Sister, what a coincidence." Meng Tingyue greeted Meng Qingjiao with a smile while sitting in the carriage.

Meng Qingjiao's face didn't look very good, and her sitting posture seemed a little unnatural.

"Sister is really amazing. She knew I was going to see the Fifth Prince today, but she still came to Dad and asked to go with me. She just went to see the Crown Prince a few days ago, and today she went to welcome the Fifth Prince. If you don't know her, you would think she is the future consort of the Fifth Prince."

That's not a kind thing to say.

"Sister, please be careful with your words, or there may be eavesdroppers." Meng Tingyue's tone and expression were generally unhurried, and she vaguely revealed a natural and noble temperament.

"Although I'm not the future consort of the Fifth Prince, I am still his future sister-in-law, and I'll be your sister-in-law in the future too."

Meng Qingjiao gritted her teeth in hatred, "Sister is right."

She thought to herself: I'm waiting for you to become a widow and cry out in despair.

……

Hefengxuan.

The Prime Minister's second son was leaning against the window, enjoying the breeze. Seeing the carriage slowly stop below, he immediately raised his voice and said, "Fifth Prince, look, that looks like the carriage from the Meng Mansion. Is it the second Miss Meng who has arrived?"

Qiao Yanfeng, who had been talking to his cousin, stood up from his chair upon hearing this, ran to the window, and craned his neck to look. "Where is it? I've heard that Miss Meng Er is as beautiful as a lotus emerging from clear water. Today I can finally feast my eyes on her."

"The Fifth Prince should also come and take a look. It has been a month since you went to the villa in the southern suburbs. You must not have seen Miss Meng for a long time. Miss Meng wants to show you her first sight." Someone started to make a fuss.
