While Meng Tingyue was flattering the prince and pretending to be a good girl, a servant quietly came to Mrs. Meng and whispered a few words.

Mrs. Meng's gentle eyes widened instantly, and she shot a fierce look at Meng Tingyue.

The teacup beside her was bumped by her and rolled to the ground with a crisp sound.

Several people in the room looked over.

The ferocity in Madam Meng's eyes had not yet subsided. She could only quickly lower her eyes and raise her hand to cover her lips with a handkerchief, "Hurry up and clean up."

When she raised her eyes again, she collected her composure and explained slowly, "I just bumped into it accidentally."

Meng Tingyue saw her hand falling to her side and tightening the handkerchief, and she knew that Nanny Qin had succeeded.

"Would you like to stay for dinner, Prince?"

Shen Yunheng said indifferently, "No need."

When Shen Yunheng proposed to leave, Meng Tingyue used the excuse of sending the prince out of the house. After sending him out, she did not return to the front hall, but turned around and slipped back to the yard.

Shen Yunheng sat in the carriage, watching the person disappear from his sight so quickly. He calmly instructed Ling Xiao outside, "Have you found out when Miss Meng started studying medicine?"

Ling Xiao: "All we can find out is that Miss Meng bought a few medical books when she left Taolin a while ago, but we can't find out when she started studying medicine."

"Then we can find out the grudge between the two girls of the Meng family."

"This is what my subordinates have investigated." Ling Xiao took out a booklet from his arms and handed it into the carriage.

"Go home."

Shen Yunheng took it and read it carefully.

After Shen Yunheng left, Madam Meng could no longer control her emotions. With tears in her beautiful eyes, she rushed to Lord Meng to complain.

"My dear, the servant just reported that Tingyue's maid brought a group of people into Ziwei Courtyard and forcefully broke the lock of my storeroom. Not only did they steal the things in my storeroom, they also stole many things from my house."

Lord Meng embraced Madam Meng and whispered explanations and comfort, "Tingyue said she dreamed of Xiao and was too heartbroken to come see the Crown Prince. So she asked to return some of her mother's belongings, and I agreed."

"They are just a few things. She can take them. Besides, as her current mother, how can you lay your hands on the belongings of her deceased mother?"

"It's not like we don't have money in the mansion. If you like something, just use the money to buy it."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Meng almost couldn't cry.

What do you mean by a few things?

Xiao Changle's dowry contained many fine items, and her house and storeroom contained many things that were Xiao Changle's legacy. If they were all taken away, not only would her house be empty, but where would her dignity be? How would she maintain her authority in front of the servants in the future?

Madam Meng almost couldn't catch her breath, her eyes full of resentment, "Husband..."

Lord Meng had no patience to listen to her complaints. He thought she was petty and asked the child for several things.

"Okay, I'm hungry. Go to the kitchen and ask them to serve dinner earlier."

……

After Meng Tingyue returned to her yard, she was almost scared when she saw the yard full of things.

Nanny Qin's face lit up. "Miss, I've taken back all the things that belonged to Madam Jiang from her room."

There were many things in it that even Meng Tingyue had forgotten.

She raised her hand and placed it on a round ebony table with carved water patterns.

If she remembered correctly, this was the table in Jiang's room. "This also belongs to my mother."

Nanny Qin: "Yes, the young lady may not remember it clearly. In fact, Ziwei Courtyard was originally where the lady lived. It was originally called Longyue Courtyard. After Jiang came, she not only took over the courtyard, but also changed its name."

"I forgot everything..." Meng Tingyue murmured.

Nanny Qin sighed, "Yes, ever since Madam left, the young lady has been seriously ill. She has forgotten many things, and her health has also deteriorated significantly due to the illness."

"At first, the young lady trusted Jiang very much. Whenever the lady was mentioned, she would burst into tears. She was too weak to bear it. After a long time, we never mentioned this matter in front of her."

When Nanny Qin saw Meng Tingyue tightly holding the jade pendant around her neck, her eyes trembled.

"If the young lady hadn't found this pendant, I would have kept this matter to myself. When the young lady got married and I was old, I would have found an opportunity to return here and burn down the Madam's former courtyard. Even if I couldn't get it back, I couldn't let Jiang Shi live there peacefully any longer."

"You may have forgotten that this pendant was originally a complete circle. It was lost when you were a child, and when it was found, only half of it remained. After that, many things happened, and you even fell ill, so you have no idea where you lost the other half."

"At that time, the girl was sad and put the pendant away. Who would have thought that she would find it again today?"

She had long forgotten what Nanny Qin had said. She only remembered that the pendant was left to her by her mother.

If she hadn't found it in the box today, she would have forgotten it.

"Put all these things in the warehouse and take them away as my dowry. They cannot be left here." Meng Tingyue lowered her eyes to hide the dark light in her eyes.

"Okay, okay." After saying that, Nanny Qin's brows darkened with worry again. "But Jiang is now in charge of the household affairs, and the girl's dowry will also be prepared by Jiang. What if Jiang secretly tampered with it and replaced it?"

"And if the master finds out about this, what will happen if we come here and want to go back?"

Nanny Qin didn't trust Jiang's character at all, even though she was once the lady's best friend.

Meng Tingyue didn't look panicked at all. "It's okay. She doesn't dare, and she doesn't have the chance. As for my father, I have my own way."

"Will anyone come from my grandparents' side on my wedding day?"

Hearing this, Nanny Qin's eyes widened suddenly, and she slapped her thigh excitedly, "Yes, I actually forgot that someone would come from Grandpa's side. As long as the eldest son comes, no matter what Jiang's schemes are, they won't be able to stir up any more trouble."

Meng Tingyue shook her head, breaking Nanny Qin's joy. "My nominal mother is Jiang now, so it's useless even if my uncle comes."

Hearing this, Nanny Qin's face was filled with worry. "Then what should we do?"

"My aunt will definitely come then."

"Are you talking about the Third Miss?" Nanny Qin hesitated. "Madam had a quarrel with the Third Miss, and the Third Miss hasn't asked about Madam's affairs for a long time. She even said she was severing her sisterly relationship with Madam. I'm afraid the Third Miss won't come to Madam's wedding."

"Yes, my aunt will come."

Meng Tingyue's eyes were firm.

In her previous life, her aunt and uncle came here before her wedding.

However, her actions at the time deeply hurt their hearts.

Thinking of this, guilt flashed across her eyes.

"I'll clean out two rooms in the next two days, and then go to the street to buy some new things to add to them."

"Yes."

Although Nanny Qin didn't know why her daughter was so sure, and didn't know that the chances of her daughter coming this time were slim because of the tense situation between the Madam and the Third Miss, she still had hope.

If the Third Miss really came, the Jiang family would really not be able to make any waves.
