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

After hearing these words, Meng Qingjiao was so shocked that she couldn't sit still.

"Sister, what you said is true. The prince is your fiancé. You can just be alone with him. There is no need to create opportunities for me and the prince to be alone."

Meng Tingyue smiled, "Daddy said that I am too weak to be the Crown Princess. You are the most suitable to be the Crown Princess. As long as we create a chance for you and the Crown Prince to be alone together and let the Crown Prince fall in love with you, then the subsequent marriage exchange can go smoothly."

When these words were spoken, except for Meng Qingjiao, all the maids following the two were shocked.

"Exchange marriage? This is a marriage granted by the emperor. It would be a serious violation if it were discovered." Qinglan was shocked.

Meng Qingjiao didn't expect Meng Tingyue to be so stupid. She actually dared to say such a thing in front of the maid. If she was discovered, she would be guilty of beheading.

Meng Tingyue feigned displeasure as she looked at Qinglan, "Daddy said that I'm not in good health and can't be a good Crown Princess or manage the Crown Prince's harem. The Fifth Prince's harem is clean and tidy, and is more suitable for me."

Qinglan frowned, "But if the emperor finds out about this, he'll be beheaded."

Meng Qingjiao kept nodding beside her.

This maid is smarter than Meng Tingyue.

Meng Tingyue: "Daddy said that if we are discovered, we just need to pretend to be ignorant. As long as my sister can get the prince to recognize her, we can naturally make the best of it."

Qinglan was a little confused.

Seeing that the maid was not moved by her words, Meng Qingjiao forced a smile and said, "We can't talk about this casually. We haven't even started yet. If we are discovered, we will lose our heads."

Meng Tingyue realized it belatedly and covered her mouth, then drove Qinglan and Qingdian out.

Seeing how stupid she was, Meng Qingjiao made a final struggle, but was so angry that she left after trying.

Meng Tingyue's innocent and naive smile gradually changed.

Indigo and blue came into the house.

Qinglan had just been kicked out, and her little head turned hard, still feeling that this matter was too dangerous, "Miss, exchanging marriages is a big deal, and if you're not careful you could lose your head, so let's not do it."

Meng Tingyue comforted him, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. Besides, this isn't something I want to do. It's my father who wants to do it."

She brought this up in front of Qinglan and Qingdian, naturally believing that Meng Qingjiao would not reveal this matter. She also happened to give them a hint so that the two little girls would not be completely ignorant.

"Why would Master do this? If this gets out, he'll lose his head. Besides, even if the Crown Prince has many concubines in his harem, at least the young lady is his legal wife. No matter how rampant they are, they can't surpass the young lady."

"I heard that the doctor once predicted that the fifth prince would not live more than three years. If the girl dies, she will be a widow, right? The master said it would be good for her, but how can that be considered good?"

Qinglan felt very aggrieved.

Meng Tingyue felt warm in her heart.

In their previous life, Qinglan and Qingdian knew that the matter was a done deal and nothing could be changed, so naturally there would be no such complaints from Qinglan.

"Keep your voice down. If someone hears, you'll be in danger." After warning Qinglan, Qingdian looked at Meng Tingyue, "Miss, it's obvious that the master isn't thinking about you. Why are you still helping them?"

Qingdian is calmer and smarter, and the words she just said are obviously not what an ordinary girl would say.

Meng Tingyue glanced at Qingdian with admiration. "I tried to persuade them, but it was no use. They wanted to switch because they wanted Meng Qingjiao to become the Crown Princess, so that the Meng family could soar to fame through her. My opinion is not important. All I can do is cooperate superficially."

"The key to whether the marriage exchange will be successful ultimately lies with the Crown Prince. As long as the Crown Prince disagrees, we can still exchange it back after the matter is exposed."

Qinglan understood, and knowing that her daughter knew what was going on, she began to feel distressed, "Why is the master so partial to the second daughter? The eldest daughter is obviously the master's biological child. Even if it's for the third young master, he shouldn't be so partial to one over the other."

Hearing this, Meng Tingyue smiled sarcastically.

Yes, she also wanted to know the reason.

She is obviously her biological daughter, but her father only thinks about Meng Qingjiao. It doesn't make sense even if it's for her younger brother.

After she became the Crown Princess, she was also able to help her mother's family.

Seeing Meng Tingyue was unhappy, Qingdian changed the subject directly, "Young lady, you offered to take the second young lady to see the prince, and even created an opportunity for them to be alone together. Do you have a plan?"

Meng Tingyue smiled nonchalantly, "You'll know later."

-

South of the city.

Meng Tingyue was wearing a green dress, and Qingdian carefully applied makeup for her to match her complexion.

Qinglan and Qingdian followed her side.

"Miss, these are the new bracelets our shop has added today. They are of excellent quality and appearance. Would you like to pick two pairs to take home?" The shopkeeper of Zhenbaotang received her with a smile.

Zhenbaotang is the shop left by Meng Tingyue's mother and is part of Meng Tingyue's dowry.

After her mother died, the management rights of the shop naturally fell into the hands of Meng Tingyue. Lord Meng and Madam Meng once wanted to take over the management rights of the shop on the grounds that Meng Tingyue was still young and could not manage the shop well, but in the end they gave up for unknown reasons.

Meng Tingyue guessed that it was because the shop was managed by Nanny Qin, and the people in the shop were all brought by her mother from her maternal grandfather, and they were all loyal to her mother. The Meng family had no choice but to give up since they couldn't find the shop.

Meng Tingyue felt uncomfortable when she thought that most of the shop's money over the years had gone into the pockets of Jiang Qingrou and Meng Qingjiao.

She was secretly calculating when she would be able to return all the money they had taken, and take back her mother's life as well.

"Has all the money for this month been sent to the Meng Mansion?" Meng Tingyue picked out a bracelet and put it on her hand.

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "It was delivered the day before yesterday."

Meng Tingyue frowned, "Don't send it next month. If you ask me, I'll just make up an excuse and I won't have to send money next month."

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "I understand."

"This bracelet is nice." Meng Tingyue looked at the bracelet on her wrist and felt much better. "This is the one I'll take. I won't be picky."

"Wait a minute, I like that bracelet and I want it." A coquettish voice came from behind.

Meng Tingyue turned around and looked.

The girl has a pretty face, but the malice between her eyebrows destroys her beauty.

Meng Tingyue knew this person. She was the daughter of the Qi family. Her father was a colleague of her father. Although her father was later promoted to the fourth rank official because of her, Qi Jiarou and Meng Qingjiao became close friends.

"It was obviously my daughter who saw him first, why should I give him to you?" Qinglan said dissatisfiedly.

Qi Jiarou snorted, "The highest bidder wins. How much is this bracelet? I'll raise the price."

The shopkeeper was about to say he would not sell it, but Meng Tingyue spoke first, "Okay, the highest bidder wins. Shopkeeper, how much is this bracelet for?"

The shopkeeper understood her words immediately, "This bracelet is five taels of silver."

Qi Jiarou raised her chin and said, "I'll add 500 wen."

"Seven taels." After calling out the price, Meng Tingyue looked at Qi Jiarou with a half-smile, "I absolutely must have this bracelet. I advise you not to fight with me for it."

As soon as she said this, Qi Jiarou, who was originally worried about the price, suddenly became unhappy.

"I want to order this bracelet, too. It's eight taels."

When Qi Jiarou and Meng Tingyue added up the amount one ounce at a time, Meng Tingyue knew she had been fooled.
