The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

Meng Jinyao's face flushed and her heart beat faster as she spoke, as if the blood in her body was boiling. Others only needed to take a quick glance at her to easily know the emotional fluctuations in her heart.

After all, which young girl wouldn’t have dreams and expectations?

Even the knowledgeable wife of the city lord knew this very well. She wondered to herself: Could it be that Meng Jinyao had developed feelings for the Emperor of Jin?

Thinking of this, the city lord's wife couldn't help but frown.

You know, the Emperor of Jin had married his first wife when he was still the crown prince, and now after he ascended the throne he announced this to the world.

Faced with such a situation, if Meng Jinyao still insists on falling in love with him, wouldn't she be asking for trouble?

So, out of good intentions, the city lord's wife hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Even if you really have such feelings in your heart, you have to face the reality! He is already married and legitimately owns the world, so why bother to get close to him?"

Meng Jinyao had sincerely confided her concerns to her sister-in-law, hoping to gain some understanding and support from her.

But who could have expected that what I would get in return were such cold words from my sister-in-law, which were like a basin of icy water poured over my head.

For a moment, she felt a burning sensation on her face, and her heart felt as if it was pricked by needles.

She bit her lips tightly, her face became more tense, and she asked angrily, "Sister-in-law, I came to tell you my feelings sincerely, but I never thought that you would attack me so mercilessly. What are you thinking?"

Seeing Meng Jinyao's agitation, the city lord's wife hurried forward to hold her hand and explained earnestly: "My dear sister, I am doing this all for your own good! I am just afraid that you will do something foolish in the moment and regret it later! That's why I have to speak more seriously. I hope you can think calmly and not act on impulse."

However, Meng Jinyao held a completely different view on this. She frowned slightly, looked at her sister-in-law with a firm gaze and said, "Sister-in-law, don't you know what Jinyao is thinking? I once said that there are only a few men in this world who can give me true happiness, and my husband must be the most outstanding person in this world!"

Having said that, Meng Jinyao paused for a moment, and then continued: "As for the Queen of Jin mentioned by my sister-in-law, not only the people of Jin know about this, but even the people of our southern border are familiar with it!"

"The Queen of Jin may have met with an accident a long time ago, and may have even passed away."

"Although I will not be the first wife of the Emperor of Jin in the future, I will not mind this situation at all."

Hearing her words, the city lord's wife couldn't help but look worried, and hurriedly interrupted, "But after all, no one can prove for sure whether the queen is really dead. What if she is not dead?"

In short, the city lord's wife was still worried deep in her heart, "If my sister is so rash... when the queen comes back in the future, then... won't she be reduced to a concubine?"

You must know that as the city lord's sister, Meng Jinyao would never allow herself to be someone else's concubine!

It’s a pity that Meng Jinyao didn’t appreciate her sister-in-law’s earnest advice, and even thought it was ridiculous.

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a mocking smile, and she responded disdainfully: "Sister-in-law, you are really worrying too much! If it was really that easy for the Queen of Jin to survive, she would have been found long ago. Now it has been so long and there is still no news. In addition, she was already pregnant at the time. Who can guarantee that there would be no accidents along the way? Maybe she has already met with an accident."

The city lord's wife tried several times to tell the whole story about Mrs. Xue, but every time the words came to her lips, they seemed to be held back by an invisible force.

She knew very well that this matter was of great importance, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Once Meng Jinyao knew the inside story, with her impulsive personality, she would definitely go to Meng Jincheng immediately.

If this happens, the situation will become increasingly difficult to handle, and there will be no room for recovery.

The city lord's wife pondered these interests secretly, and her eyes unconsciously fell on Meng Jinyao's face, which was full of youthful vitality and as beautiful as a blooming spring flower.

At this moment, Meng Jinyao was immersed in her beautiful fantasy of love. Her appearance of a young girl in love made people feel pity for her.

Seeing this, the city lord’s wife felt conflicted and reluctant again.

Finally, she couldn't help but persuade him, "Jin Yao, no matter what, you are my most beloved sister. What sister-in-law said is all for your own good! The Emperor of Jin is definitely not your ideal husband. He is in a high position, and the power struggles in the palace are complicated. If you insist on marrying him, you will inevitably fall into endless troubles and dangers in the future. So, you must think twice before acting, and be very careful!"

However, at this moment, Meng Jinyao had already made up her mind deep in her heart, so how could she easily listen to others?

She looked at her sister-in-law with a determined gaze and said without hesitation: "Sister-in-law, I know you are thinking about me wholeheartedly, but I have made up my mind and will never change it! If you really think about me wholeheartedly, then at this moment, sister-in-law should listen to my ideas and give me support and assistance!"

When the city lord's wife heard this, her originally peaceful mood was instantly broken and her mood suddenly became heavy.

She frowned and pursed her lips. Although she had a thousand words in her heart that she wanted to persuade Meng Jinyao to give up this idea again, after hesitating again and again, those words were ultimately unable to come out of her mouth.

Meng Jinyao continued, "Sister-in-law, it's too early for you to talk about this now! After all, I haven't seen what the Emperor of Jin looks like with my own eyes, and I don't know whether he can catch my eye or make me happy. It's still an unknown!"

Having said this, Meng Jinyao suddenly noticed that her sister-in-law's face became increasingly gloomy, and she was obviously angry.

Her heart sank suddenly, as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer.

But as smart as she was, she naturally understood that this was not the time to be stubborn, so she quickly lowered her posture and explained softly, "Sister-in-law, please don't be angry. I'm just curious and just want to take a look to verify whether the Emperor of Jin is really as heroic and extraordinary as the rumors say."

Is the emperor of Jin really as handsome as a star? If it is not true as the rumors say, Meng Jinyao would not really devote herself to it.

The city lord's wife thought about it for a moment and agreed... How could one be so devoted to something unless one saw it with one's own eyes?

If Meng Jinyao were to meet the Emperor of Jin tomorrow, I'm afraid she wouldn't like him that much.

"Okay, Jinyao will go with me tomorrow." Meng Jinyao's heart was as happy as a blooming flower, "I know that my sister-in-law treats me the best."

Meng Jinyao was extremely happy when she got the approval, and she returned to her yard happily.

Tracy said, "Madam, the matter of Madam Xue..."

"It's okay, let's just wait and see." She currently didn't understand Meng Jincheng's intention.

What exactly did the Emperor of Jin come here for? Was he really coming for Madam Lu? She was still unsure about this, so she didn't dare to act rashly at this moment.

At the same time, Xue Jinhua was staying safely in her own yard recuperating and preparing for childbirth, and was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world.

Time passed quickly and it was the next day, but the plums, which were always punctual, had not yet shown up.

Not only that, even when he appeared later, his expression seemed quite dazed. When he poured tea for Xue Jinhua several times, he looked absent-minded and dispirited.

At first, Xue Jinhua didn't take it too seriously.

However, this time, Ximei accidentally spilled the tea onto the ground.

Seeing this, Xue Jinhua couldn't help but frown slightly and called softly, "Ximei."

Ximei was frightened like a frightened bird when she heard the sound. She knelt on the ground in panic and apologized tremblingly: "I'm sorry, Madam Xue, I... I really didn't mean it!"

Xue Jinhua was not actually angry about this, but she still frowned and asked, "Ximei, what on earth are you thinking about?"

Facing Xue Jinhua's question, Ximei struggled internally. She opened and closed her mouth, seeming to want to say something but stopped herself.

Because every time those words were about to come out of her mouth, Meng Jincheng's solemn instructions to her would emerge in her mind.

As a result, her face gradually turned pale. She could only hold her breath, biting her lips tightly, and dared not utter a word no matter what.

"No...it's okay. The tea is a little cold. I'll get you a pot of steaming hot tea."

In short, Ximei felt as heavy as a thousand-pound burden, especially Mrs. Xue's eyes, as shrewd as an eagle, as if she could see through everything in the world. Ximei felt fear at just one glance.

Xue Jinhua did not stop her, but as she looked at Ximei's receding back, she became thoughtful.

It's so obvious, there must be something fishy going on...

Xue Jinhua paused for a moment, and no longer sat upright, but moved to the side courtyard to stroll around.

The maids here often chatted, so Xue Jinhua was able to hear some words that Meng Jincheng didn't want her to know.

"Hey, did you know that the Emperor of Jin is coming to Southern Xinjiang?"

At this time, the maids outside the yard were busy with something and started talking about what was happening outside.

"Yes, I heard that the emperor of Jin was so handsome that Miss Jin Yao was completely fascinated by him..."

Xue Jinhua's mood was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, and it instantly became extremely excited.

Ling Yan actually came! This news was like a spring breeze blowing on her face, igniting the fire of hope in her heart.

This means that her departure is approaching.

However, at the same time, Xue Jinhua couldn't help but feel a little puzzled: How long had it been? How could Ling Yan inherit the throne in such a short time? And what major events had happened in the country during her absence? Countless questions swirled in her mind, making her eager to find out.

Although she was extremely anxious, Xue Jinhua still tried hard to control her emotions.

After all, now is not the time to act impulsively.

She didn't take anything that girl said about Meng Jinyao to heart at all.

Because she knew that with Ling Yan's vision and character, even if there were countless beauties in the world, he would never have the slightest interest in Meng Jinyao.

At this time, Ximei packed up her things and walked out of the house.

She looked around for Xue Jinhua, but she couldn't find her anywhere in the room.

Anxious, she had to continue searching, and finally found Xue Jinhua standing quietly in a corner of the yard.

Seeing that she was safe and sound, Ximei's heart finally settled down. She breathed a long sigh of relief, then quickly walked forward and said, "Mr. Xue... Madam, let's go back. It's very windy here, and you are pregnant now. What if you catch a cold? Let's go back to the house quickly."
