Chapter 54 You gave me to another woman?

The next day, Shen Li dressed up in her finest clothes.

Her hair was styled in a high bun, adorned with a palm-sized red peony flower, and she wore a flowing, wide-sleeved, off-the-shoulder scarlet dress.

The off-shoulder style accentuated her long neck, subtly revealing her collarbones, and highlighting her incredibly slender waist.

Shen Li's appearance is bright and beautiful, which suits her well. This outfit makes her even more stunning and captivating.

Shen Li looked at herself in the mirror, her every smile and frown exuding charm. She couldn't help but smile with a determined look on her lips. She was determined to win Meng Huaiyan over.

With her maidservant and the soup she had prepared, Shen Li strode towards Qingyun Courtyard.

Unexpectedly, a servant stopped him at the door and wouldn't let him in.

Tingsong looked at the alluring, restless woman in front of him, his brows furrowed so tightly they could trap a fly.

I wonder which distant relative or cousin this woman is, even though I know their young master is already married.

They're so oblivious to the fact that they're rushing to get noticed.

"Our young master is busy and it is inconvenient for him to see outsiders. Please leave."

Having spent so much time getting ready this morning, how could Shen Li be so willing to leave? She spoke softly to the servant in front of her.

"Young man, I am Shen Li, the younger sister of your Crown Princess. I have come to see the Crown Prince today on important business, so please inform him."

"Who would dress so inappropriately when discussing important matters?" Ting Song felt a sense of disdain.

However, when she heard her mention the Crown Princess's younger sister, she hesitated.

After all, the servants have seen how the Crown Prince treats his wife; she is truly the person he cherishes most.

The person in front of me is the Crown Princess's younger sister. What if it really is something important...?

After thinking for a moment, Tingsong said to her, "I'll go inform them. You wait here."

Shen Li's expression brightened, and she hurriedly replied, "Yes."

Tingsong knocked on the study door, and after receiving permission, he pushed the door open and entered, saying respectfully, "Your Highness, there is someone outside who claims to be the Crown Princess's sister, requesting an audience. She says she has important matters to discuss with you."

Shen Tang's sister?

Meng Huaiyan paused, his brow furrowing slightly. He had heard that Shen Tang's stepmother and sister had moved into the Duke's mansion, but he wondered what her sister could possibly want from him.

He was about to refuse, but then he thought that it might be related to Shen Tang, so he changed his mind: "Please invite her in."

Ting Song: "Yes."

Shen Li stood at the doorway of the study, her expression excited.

She straightened her appearance, then pulled her collar down a little to reveal her sexy collarbone, before lightly stepping inside.

Meng Huaiyan stood by the window, his back to her, yet Shen Li couldn't help but blush and feel her heart flutter.

She said sweetly, "Li'er greets the young master."

Upon hearing the delicate voice, Meng Huaiyan frowned. When he turned around and saw Shen Li's attire, his expression turned gloomy and cold.

He had encountered at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, similar scenes before.

Without even asking, everyone knows this is aimed at him.

They actually dared to use Shen Tang's name!

Meng Huaiyan didn't want to see the person in front of him even once, and coldly said, "Get out!"

Shen Li anticipated that when Meng Huaiyan saw her appearance, he would surely show an expression of amazement and admiration. At that time, with her words and actions, she would surely seduce him into falling in love with her.

But to her surprise, Meng Huaiyan was not only different from what she had expected, but also treated her badly. His first words to her were to tell her to get out!

Shen Li's self-confidence was severely damaged. Back in Tianshui County, every man who had met her had flattered and fawned over her, just to make her smile.

Even the prefect's son said he would carry her shoes.

Unexpectedly, she received the first closed door of her life at Meng Huaiyan's place today.

Shen Li was unwilling to give up, but she composed herself and gave him her most perfect and beautiful smile: "Your Highness is so fierce, you scared me~"

As she spoke, she lunged at Meng Huaiyan.

Meng Huaiyan quickly dodged, his face darkening as he called out, "Ting Song."

Hearing the shouts, Tingsong rushed in from outside the door and was horrified when he saw Chenli lying face down on the small table by the window.

It’s over! It’s over!

Sure enough, the next moment he heard the prince's cold and harsh voice: "Throw this woman out of here, and never let her set foot in this courtyard again."

"And replace everything that this woman touched."

"As for you, go and receive twenty strokes of the cane yourself."

Ting Song couldn't help but groan inwardly. His resentment towards Shen Li was worse than that of a ghost in the eighteenth level of hell. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been punished by the Crown Prince!

Hearing that Song was angry, he became ruthless towards Shen Li, grabbing her arm and dragging her outside.

When Shen Li was treated with such disdain, she could no longer maintain her gentle and serene demeanor.

She swung Tingsong's arm and yelled at Meng Huaiyan in a shrill voice, "What are you pretending to be, Liu Xiahui? What are you keeping your chastity for?"

"Why do you think I'm here today? It's all because of Shen Tang's orders."

"Shen Tang doesn't care about you at all. She knows I'm interested in you, and she's the one who sent me to seduce you!"

After Shen Li finished shouting, the room fell silent instantly.

When Tingsong saw the prince's face darken instantly, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Meng Huaiyan's eyes were bloodshot, and his chest felt as if a violent storm was tearing and screaming inside.

He strode towards Shen Li, staring intently into her eyes, speaking each word with a sinister glint in his eyes.

"What did you say!"

Shen Li trembled with fear at the ruthlessness in his eyes and was speechless for a moment.

Meng Huaiyan had long lost his patience and roared, "Speak!"

Chen Li was so frightened that tears streamed down her face. She trembled as she said, "It was...it was Chen Tang who sent me to find you. She said...she's going to give you to me."

Meng Huaiyan felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart, as if a knife was twisting inside, making it hard for him to breathe.

He clenched his fists and strode towards the bedroom.

Shen Tang was nestled on the chaise lounge reading a storybook when she suddenly heard the door being kicked open with a loud bang.

Startled by the sudden movement, Shen Tang sat up and looked up to see Meng Huaiyan standing at the door, staring at her with a gloomy gaze.

Before she could even speak, Meng Huaiyan stormed over, grabbed her, and pinned her against the windowsill.

Shen Tang's back stung from the hard windowsill, and she frowned, saying, "What's wrong with you!"

Meng Huaiyan gently stroked her cheek, but his words were cold and sinister.

"Chen Li said, 'Are you going to give me to her?'"
