Meng Zhixia had received an invitation from a friend to meet up in the tavern. She was about to return home after the meeting, but she did not expect to see such a scene.

The two people downstairs were both people that he knew. One was the Second Prince Song Yuanling, and the other one was someone he was already so familiar with that he couldn't get any closer.

In the past, Meng Zhixia had never known what kind of fox like enchanting technique Shen Kouqing had used to make the unapproachable Song Yichen take the initiative to request for a decree from the emperor that he wanted to marry her!

She, Meng Zhixia, had liked Song Yichen for many years, and had always been silently admiring him, quietly paying attention to him. In the end, it was actually a small Shen Kouqing who had picked up such a great bargain.

That's right, as the dignified Left Premier, how could he be willing to suffer such humiliation? Therefore, in her heart, she had always been unconvinced with Shen Kouqing. She also wanted to seize this opportunity to get rid of her.

Now, he had a great opportunity before him.

Shen Kouqing was already Song Yichen's wife, yet he was eating at a restaurant with his royal uncle. The most important thing was that the two of them were alone, without any attendants or maids accompanying them.

It seemed that Shen Kouqing was really like the rumors, behaving in an indecent manner. For such a woman to marry Song Yichen, wouldn't that be difficult for him?

The current Meng Zhixia was very angry, sshe did not know what Song Yichen originally thought, to actually want to marry this woman! If he saw it with his own eyes, he would probably be extremely angry, right? But she didn't have any other way to bring Song Yichen here.

After all, she was the eldest grandson of the emperor, while he was only the daughter of the Minister of the Left. Even though her status was prestigious, she couldn't compare to the position of the Emperor, so she didn't have the guts to invite Song Yichen over.

"Miss Meng! It's you? " Song Yuanling didn't know how long his eyes had actually grown, but he was able to recognize Meng Zhixia just by looking at him for a moment, so he greeted her.

"Greetings, second young master." Since Song Yuanling had already taken the initiative to greet him, Meng Zhixia could not be rude to him either.

They had originally planned to call him "Second Prince", but after seeing his casual attire, they quickly changed their form of address.

"Escort from formalities, since we can meet here, it means that we are fated to meet. Miss Meng, do you want to eat together?" Song Yuanling looked at Meng Zhixia and sent her invitation.

Shen Kouqing secretly cursed in his heart, was Song Yuanling really that easy to deal with? Invite you to dinner when you see a girl? This greatly reduced his image in his heart. Although she did not have a good impression of Ai Hui, he was merely a playboy.

"There's no need to eat anymore. Zhi Xia had already eaten with his friends upstairs, so he can't eat anymore." Meng Zhixia smiled, his expression revealing her noble demeanor, very standard, and said slowly.

"If that's the case, then let's sit here together and chat." Song Yuanling really had all sorts of tricks up his sleeves. Since humans did not eat, why not sit down and chat?

Meng Zhixia knew that the person in front of him was the Second Prince and since he was the one who had sent out the invitation, she would be slightly embarrassed to reject it.

After all, they were giving each other face. It was impossible to say that they were giving the other party face. The other party was going to give them face the next time, and that was a bit unrealistic.

"In that case, Zhi Xia would be more respectful than you!" Meng Zhixia had always been by her father's side, and was extremely familiar with the ways of the world.

After Meng Zhixia sat down, she stared at Shen Kouqing, as if she wanted to say something.

"What's wrong? Miss Meng has something to say to Mistress Shen? " Song Yuanling saw through it with his sharp eyes and asked.

Meng Zhixia originally did not plan to do anything, but after hearing what Song Yuanling said, she suddenly felt embarrassed.

"Hmm? "What is it?" Hearing Song Yuanling's question, Shen Kouqing also raised her head and asked.

Actually, Shen Kouqing had some thoughts of what she was thinking. She liked Song Yichen, which was an open secret in the capital. Although she herself had never admitted it, they were already a perfect match.

However, in the end, a Shen Kouqing appeared out of nowhere. And just like that, Meng Zhixia had always been living a miserable life, wanting to annihilate Shen Kouqing even in her dreams.

She was the number one beauty of the capital. How could she not be able to match up to this person?

"I heard that Mistress Shen once liked Ninth Gongzi and everyone in the capital knows about it. For some reason, she is now married to Young Master Song?" It was fine if Meng Zhixia did not say anything, but when she did, it was as if she had hit the nail on the head.

When the question came out, Shen Kouqing was suddenly at a loss as to how to answer. She also felt that it was a bit awkward.

After all, this was someone else's relationship. It wasn't appropriate to speak of it so openly.

"What is it? Mistress Shen doesn't dare to answer? " Meng Zhixia waited for a good while, but Shen Kouqing did not say anything, so she thought she was feeling guilty, and spoke next.

"This is my relationship with you, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Miss Meng, right?" Shen Kouqing smiled and replied politely.

"Yes, it is indeed none of my business. However, everyone in the capital wants to know why Miss Shen did not show mercy and satisfy their curiosity." Meng Zhixia thought, and then said.

Shen Kouqing mocked in her heart, with just you alone, you're still my opponent?

"Since the people of the capital want to know, then let them guess, what right do I, a dignified wife, have to lower my status and satisfy the curiosity of others who do not care? Miss Meng really knows how to joke around! " Shen Kouqing replied leisurely.

Hearing Shen Kouqing's reply, Meng Zhixia's face alternated between red and black.

"That's true. I'm sorry, Mistress Shen. I was being too rude today." Meng Zhixia knew she had acted impolitely, and apologized.

However, this so-called apology was only an act. In her heart, it was not so easy for her to yield.

"No matter, you only have a kind heart that can help others." Shen Kouqing's words made Meng Zhixia's face turn red, she did not know how to react.
