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

Lord Meng was anxious, and his thoughts were still confused. "What remains? Isn't Jiang still alive?"

The respectful smile on Nanny Qin's face instantly faded, and she covered her chest with her hands, looking grief-stricken. "Master, my wife has only been gone for ten years, and you have completely forgotten her. How can you be worthy of my wife's spirit in heaven?"

Lord Meng was startled, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his eyes, and he tried to make amends, "I didn't forget. Isn't it because Tingyue treats Jiang like her own mother that I thought she was talking about Jiang."

Hearing the conversation outside the house, Meng Tingyue had no intention of reading. She threw the medical book aside with a cold expression.

Qingdian was waiting by the bed. Seeing her calm expression, she felt worried. "Miss..."

Meng Tingyue raised her hand and said, "I'm fine. I should have seen it clearly earlier. He doesn't care about my mother at all."

"Go out and tell Aunt Qin..."

Meng Tingyue whispered a few words into Qingdian's ear.

Qingdian nodded slightly and left.

She leaned lazily on the bed, her expression dull and lonely, her fingertips lightly picking up the jade pendant from her neck and stroking it gently.

Qingdian opened the door. Lord Meng was about to enter the house when he was blocked by Qingdian again.

He looked unhappy and his patience was almost gone.

Qingdian was not afraid at all. "Master, my daughter is heartbroken when she thinks of Madam. She can't stop crying even though her eyes are swollen. She really doesn't want to meet the Crown Prince in such an embarrassing state, fearing that it will bring shame to the Meng family. I hope Master can explain it to the Crown Prince on her behalf."

Reject the prince?

The scene of him rejecting the prince flashed through Lord Meng's mind, and his face trembled.

"How can I ease the grief in her heart?"

"In the past, whenever the young lady thought of Madam, she would use her old things to ease her grief. But many of Madam's things are no longer in the courtyard, and the few things in the house are no longer enough to ease the grief in the young lady's heart."

“Where do all those old things go?”

"They were all taken away by Jiang." Nanny Qin became furious when she recalled this.

Every time when she was not around, Jiang would pretend to be pitiful in the girl's ear. The girl would be soft-hearted and believe her words, and lend the lady's things to Jiang, which she never returned.

"Jiang? Why is she at Jiang's place?" Lord Meng was surprised. He really didn't know about this. "I'll ask Jiang to come back later. I'll go to the front yard to meet the prince first."

It takes a while to go back and forth, and it will take a while to find the thing. If it drags on any longer and makes the prince wait for a long time and get angry, it will not be worth it.

Meng Tingyue thought for a moment and then told Qinglan a few words. Then she got out of bed and chose the clothes she would wear when meeting the prince.

After hearing Qinglan's words, Lord Meng nodded in agreement and said, "Tell Tingyue to pack up quickly and make sure her appearance is not compromised. Once she's done, go to the front hall as soon as possible."

After seeing Lord Meng leave, Nanny Qin and others entered the house.

"Miss, the master agrees."

Qinglan Qingdian stepped forward to help Meng Tingyue dress up.

Meng Tingyue: "Make my eyes look red and swollen."

Qingdian nodded.

"Madame Qin, you recognize my mother's old things. Please take someone to the Jiang family's warehouse and pick out my mother's old things and take them back. If anyone in the Jiang family's courtyard tries to stop us, just rush in. It won't matter if we make a big fuss. She won't dare to make a big noise with the Crown Prince here."

Meng Tingyue spoke softly, with unquestionable determination in her words.

Nanny Qin said firmly, "Don't worry, young lady. I will definitely get all of Madam's things back."

Qingdian gently put down the makeup powder in her hand and stepped back half a step, whispering, "Okay, girl."

Meng Tingyue glanced at herself in the bronze mirror, her eyes curved, and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips. "Let's go to the front hall to see the prince."

……

After Lord Meng wiped his sweat and looked outside the courtyard for the umpteenth time, Meng Tingyue finally arrived.

Meng Tingyue was dressed in plain clothes, looking fresh and refined, with light-colored lips and a hint of crimson in her eyes, her eyes as moist as a clear spring.

When Lord Meng saw this, his heart skipped a beat.

He clearly told her to pack up before coming out.

Shen Yunheng's eyebrows twitched slightly. Why did this pretty girl look even more haggard than this morning?

"Tingyue greets the prince." Meng Tingyue bowed softly.

"My Crown Princess seems even sicker than she was this morning, Lord Meng. I need an explanation."

Lord Meng's heart trembled. "Tingyue is weak and can't stand the slightest bit of cold. Every time she catches a cold, she always stays sick for a few days. I've already asked a doctor to see her."

Meng Tingyue explained, "Brother Crown Prince, I'm fine. I just happened to find some of my mother's old things today, and the sight of them made me sad. It has nothing to do with my father."

Her mother's belongings have not been completely recovered yet, so she cannot completely break off with her father.

Based on her understanding of her father, as long as she took the initiative to give in, her father would only think that she was anxious to protect others and that was why she got angry.

Sure enough, as soon as Meng Tingyue said this, Lord Meng felt that Meng Tingyue was still under control. Since ancient times, although the husband's family is the most important to a woman after she gets married, she cannot do without the support of her parents' family.

"Brother Prince, you came all the way to see me today, did you miss me?" Meng Tingyue smiled sweetly.

"I have come here today with my men to thank Miss Meng."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Li entered the house carrying a small wooden box.

Wei Li knelt on one knee and said sincerely, "If it weren't for Miss Meng's help yesterday, we would have suffered heavy losses in this bandit suppression. I hope Miss Meng will accept this small gift of gratitude."

"I just did what I could. Thank you for your courtesy, Lord Wei." Meng Tingyue raised her hand and asked Qinglan to help her put the box away.

The box was quite heavy, and Qinglan had to hold it with both hands to keep it steady.

After Wei Li retreated to Shen Yunheng's side, Ling Xiao entered the room holding a box.

"This is my thank you gift. Thank you, Miss Meng, for your help last night."

Ling Xiao opened the box, revealing a night-shining pearl as big as a baby's head.

As soon as the night pearl appeared, Meng Tingyue's attention was drawn away.

Night-shining pearls are expensive, let alone such a big one. Meng Tingyue didn't think she could get such a generous reward just for treating a few injured soldiers.

Could it be that the prince heard the rumors in the capital and felt guilty towards her, so he made a special trip to her house to explain why he didn't return home last night and apologize?

Meng Tingyue seemed to be lost in thought, and the smile on her face became much more sincere. She raised her hand and took the box from Ling Xiao's hand and handed it to Qingdian.

"I have already sent someone to deal with the rumors in the city. They will not affect Miss Meng's reputation."

"Prince brother is so thoughtful."

"Miss Meng is still ill and weak, so she shouldn't sit for long periods of time."

"Yes, yes, yes, why don't you move a stool for the young lady to sit on." Lord Meng suddenly realized.

"Prince brother is so considerate." Meng Tingyue sat down obediently.

"If necessary, you can send someone to the Crown Prince's Mansion to look for me. I will go to the palace and ask the imperial physician to treat Miss Meng."

"Please take care of me, my prince. I will recover quickly and become your princess in good health."

"Ah."

"Uh-huh."

Shen Yunheng looked at Meng Tingyue speechless for a moment. Meng Tingyue's expression was sincere and passionate, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. He slowly lowered his eyes and drank tea from the cup.

"Brother Crown Prince, drink slowly. Be careful, the tea is hot."

Shen Yunheng paused.

Ling Xiao and Wei Li beside him lowered their heads to hide their shocked looks.

It seems that the Crown Princess really loves the Crown Prince deeply.
