The three monks, pale as death, knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling as they pleaded with the abbot, hoping for forgiveness and their lives to be spared. Meanwhile, Jiang Meilian gradually regained some consciousness from her trance. She reached for the blanket beside her and wrapped it tightly around herself, tears pouring out like a broken dam as she sobbed non-stop. She was completely bewildered and confused, completely unable to understand how she had ended up in such a dire situation.
But as she calmed down and thought carefully, the answer gradually emerged in her mind. Instantly, a strong anger surged in her heart. She struggled to move her knees and slowly crawled to the feet of Prince Gong, crying out at the top of her lungs: "Your Highness! Lian'er is truly wronged. All of this is Jiang Meiyu's fault. She must have secretly drugged Lian'er, causing her to lose her mind and do such a shameful thing. Your Highness, you know Lian'er's heart best. Lian'er is devoted to you and has absolutely no second thoughts!"
Hearing these words, King Tuo was so angry that he was shaking all over. He kicked Jiang Meilian away and shouted, "Bitch! Stop talking nonsense! You are a person who can't do anything good and is always causing trouble. From now on, don't bother me again!" After that, King Tuo waved his sleeves fiercely, turned around and left with a face full of resentment.
Looking at Prince Tuo's receding figure, Jiang Meilian cried out in despair: "Prince, Prince... Jiang Meiyu, you vicious woman, how dare you frame me? I will never let you go easily!"
Jiang Meiyu was eating with great relish, her mouth stuffed full, and she said incoherently, "Keqing, come over and have some with us. It's really delicious. Come on..."
"Miss, Ke Qing doesn't feel hungry yet, but looking at you, you seem to be in a particularly good mood?" Ke Qing looked at Jiang Meiyu with a puzzled look, her eyes full of curiosity.
Jiang Meiyu put down her chopsticks, patted her belly contentedly, and said with a smile, "That's right, I'm in a great mood now! Oh, I'm full, please take all this away!" As she spoke, she gracefully picked up a cup of steaming hot tea, took light steps, and hummed a little tune: "Today is your birthday, my..."
Hearing this unfamiliar yet beautiful melody, Ke Qing, who was cleaning the table, couldn't help but stop what she was doing and asked in confusion, "Miss, I've never heard the song you're singing before. What is this song?"
Jiang Meiyu rolled her eyes, smiled slyly, and said casually: "Oh, this is just something I hummed casually, it doesn't have any special meaning." After that, she continued to hum leisurely, and the cheerful melody seemed to make people forget all their worries.
