After the engagement was called off, the senior sister of the sect took the initiative to consummate

"Bitch, bitch!"

A furious shout echoed throughout the entire Mei Mansion hall, so loud that even the roof beams seemed to tremble slightly.

Mei Wenhua's face was full of anger, and he was trembling with rage. "That shameless slut Su Nianyao is so audacious! She doesn't even care about having an affair. She hasn't been home for seven days and spends all her time fooling around with that Qin Yichen!"

"Why are you so angry?"

Seeing this, Madam Mei sneered and said, "Hmph, wasn't this something you instructed to do?"

Mei Wenhua gritted his teeth, "It's true that I instructed her, but I never let her stay directly with Qin Yichen!"

He paused, then said indignantly, "After all, this little bitch is still my Mei family's daughter-in-law. If this matter gets out and others find out, where will my Mei family's face be?"

However, Madam Mei remained unmoved and scoffed, "Oh, how righteous and righteous you are! Whether you truly care about the Mei family's reputation or have ulterior motives, only you know the truth in your heart!"

Upon hearing this, Mei Wenhua's expression changed, and he said sternly, "What do you mean by that?"

Madam Mei glanced at him contemptuously and slowly said, "Don't think I don't know about your shameful dealings with that slut Su Nianyao!"

Mei Wenhua's heart tightened, and he said somewhat guiltily, "You... what do you know?"

Madam Mei pressed on, sneering, "What? Afraid I'll tell you the truth?"

Mei Wenhua looked astonished. "So, you're asking me to use Su Nianyao to curry favor with Qin Yichen for this reason?"

He was initially reluctant to use Su Nianyao to curry favor with Qin Yichen, but Madam Mei analyzed the pros and cons for him, which finally made him harden his heart and make the decision.

"Otherwise, what did you think?" Madam Mei's tone was icy, as if it could freeze over.

A resolute glint flashed in Madam Mei's eyes, "You were the one who acted unjustly first, so don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Her voice was like a cold wind in the night, sending chills down one's spine. "I think even if that little slut came back now, you wouldn't dare touch her. First, you have to consider the Prince of Jin's reputation, and second, what if that little slut came back pregnant and you couldn't tell whose child it was?"

Mei Wenhua's face turned red and white with anger. Just as he was about to retort, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

A servant rushed in and reported, "Master, Madam, the young mistress has returned."

Mei Wenhua and Madam Mei were both taken aback as Su Nianyao swaggered into the hall.

She abandoned her usual docile demeanor, her gaze sweeping coldly over Mei Wenhua and Madam Mei. "You need not argue any further. I have reached an agreement with Prince Jin, and he will protect me. As for the Mei family, they will have nothing to do with me from now on."

With Qin Yichen as her backer, she's too lazy to pretend anymore.

Of course, this direct confrontation was at Qin Yichen's behest.

After all, the Mei family isn't stupid. Now that Su Nianyao has latched onto Qin Yichen, they naturally harbor resentment towards her.

Rather than being suspected and guarded against, it's better to do the opposite.

Mei Wenhua's eyes widened as he pointed at Su Nianyao and cursed, "You ignorant and arrogant wretch, how dare you betray the Mei family!"

Su Nianyao smiled gently, "The Mei family was a cage to me, but now I am free."

Madam Mei snorted coldly, "Do you think Qin Yichen will really protect you forever? He's just using you."

Su Nianyao didn't care at all, "So what? It's better than being manipulated here."

Mei Wenhua was so angry that he jumped up and down. "Even if the Prince of Jin protects you, do you think our Mei family is afraid?"

Su Nianyao raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Then you can certainly give it a try."

Madam Mei's face revealed a sinister glint. "Su Nianyao, don't be too happy yet. Even if Prince Jin is protecting you now, the political situation in the court is constantly changing. Who can guarantee that he will always be in power?"

Su Nianyao responded calmly, "I understand that principle, but at least for now, I don't need to put up with your humiliation."

At this moment, Mei Wenhua seemed to have thought of something, and a sly glint flashed in his eyes. "Hmph, don't forget, you still have family members in our hands."

Su Nianyao's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down. "If you dare to harm my family, Prince Jin will not let you off the hook."

Madam Mei smiled sinisterly, "Do you think the Prince of Jin has any real feelings for you, a withered flower? You're too naive. To him, you're nothing but a plaything."

"Even if we kill your family, do you believe the Prince of Jin won't stand up for you?"

Su Nianyao clenched her fists, knowing that Madam Mei was ruthless and true to her word.

But she couldn't panic. She forced herself to remain calm and said, "If you harm my family, I will expose your evil deeds to the world. Then everyone in the world will despise the Mei family."

Mei Wenhua laughed disdainfully, "Do you think anyone would believe the words of a woman who has an affair?"

Su Nianyao lowered her head as if resigned to her fate. "Then what do you want?"

Madam Mei sneered, "In the Mei family, we can keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other. We can even provide you with a more comfortable life, but that won't happen for no reason."

Su Nianyao raised an eyebrow and parted her lips slightly: "What are your conditions?"

"You are an exceptionally intelligent person."

Madam Mei narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at Su Nianyao with a half-smile, and continued, "First, you must never have any more illicit affairs with the master; second, you must continue to stay by Prince Jin's side."

Mei Wenhua looked reluctant to part, yet hesitated to speak.

Clearly, he didn't want to give up his relationship with Su Nianyao.

After hearing Madam Mei's conditions, Su Nianyao smiled sarcastically. "So that's what you're planning. You want to use me to continue currying favor with Prince Jin, while at the same time trying to control me."

Su Nianyao took a deep breath. "I promise you, but you must remember that if my family suffers even the slightest harm, I will risk my life to take you down with me."

Madam Mei scoffed, "I hope you can keep your word, otherwise your family won't have a good ending."

The conversation ended unhappily.

Su Nianyao hurried back to her somewhat simple room and began to silently pack her clothes. At this moment, she felt extremely heavy-hearted, but at the same time, a sense of relief welled up in her heart.

After all, everything that needed to be said had been said, and she knew she had no reason to stay here any longer—this place called the Mei family.

Just then, Mei Wenhua sneaked away from Madam Mei and quietly slipped into Su Nianyao's residence.

He cautiously pushed open the door and peered into the room like a thief.

When he saw Su Nianyao busily packing her things, he was slightly taken aback, a complicated expression appearing on his face. "Nianyao, are you leaving?"

Su Nianyao sighed helplessly, "Alas, there's really nothing I can do! Now, the Mei family has no place for me anymore."

Her beautiful face was filled with sorrow and loneliness.

Upon hearing this, Mei Wenhua, who was standing to the side, hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I have a house outside. Why don't you move there?"

A hint of anticipation flickered in his eyes.

However, Su Nianyao sneered and mocked, "What? Do you intend to keep me like a caged bird in that mansion outside?"

Then, she puffed out her chest and said proudly, "Hmph, don't forget, I am now His Highness Prince Jin's woman!"

Mei Wenhua, however, didn't seem to care. With a slight upturn of her lips, she replied dismissively, "So what?"

He stared brazenly at Su Nianyao and continued shamelessly, "Weren't you once my son's woman? In the end, you still became my woman."

As he spoke, he took a step forward, reaching out to try and embrace Su Nianyao's slender waist, muttering to himself, "As long as we act cautiously and discreetly, Prince Jin will certainly not notice anything."
