Huangfu Yu then walked up to Huangfu Yi's side: "Seventh Sister-in-law is really stubborn. Everyone believed that Seventh Brother was dead, but she didn't believe it and insisted on finding him. Now that she has finally found him, she has lost her memory. I'm afraid that an ordinary woman would not be able to bear it, but she is still very optimistic. She is truly rare."
Huangfu Yi nodded, his gaze drifting to the figure faintly visible from the inner room. His eyes narrowed slightly, and after a long while, he said, "Yes, she is indeed a rare and extraordinary woman."
His tone of exclamation was filled with countless ripples of emotion. Huangfu Yu listened quietly, increasingly convinced that his guess might be unfounded, especially the way Huangfu Yi looked at Meng Wan—it was not the way he looked at his sister-in-law at all.
Huangfu Yu frowned: "Yes, she is an extraordinary woman. It is a blessing for the seventh brother to have such a wife. I just hope that he can regain his memory as soon as possible and that he will not make her sad again."
As if hinting at something, Huangfu Yi turned to look at him, only to find him staring straight at him. Startled, he felt embarrassed that his thoughts had been seen through and quickly looked away, forcing a dry laugh: "Yes."

Meng Wan and Hua Jiuye returned to the Prime Minister's residence together, claiming that they had come to treat Chu Heng's illness. Hongxiu seemed to have anticipated this as well, and that night, she also moved to the Prime Minister's residence under the pretext of helping Chu Heng regain his memory.
This was against the rules, since she and Chu Heng were not yet married, but since she was Hongxiu, no one dared to stop her from doing what she wanted.
So, at dinner, this very strange scene unfolded on the table.
Meng Wan, Hongxiu, Chu Heng, and Hua Jiuye sat at a dining table, but their expressions were all different.
Chu Heng couldn't bear it any longer and lowered his head in silence. Hua Jiuye ate his meal while thinking about how to prescribe medicine. As for Meng Wan and Hongxiu, they were locked in a fierce battle of wits.
Whether it's eye contact or eating, they always have to compete to see who's better.
After finally finishing their meal, Meng Wan naturally took Hua Jiuye and left with him under the pretext of taking Huangfu Mi's pulse and examining him again, leaving only Hongxiu there.
She was furious, but she couldn't retaliate. She let the group leave, hoping that Hua Jiuye wouldn't cure him during this time, so that she would have time to figure out how to deal with Meng Wan.
Several days passed in this way.
Hua Jiuye thought of using acupuncture to treat Chu Heng, and the effect was quite good. Although his memory had not been restored, his spirit was much better than before. Hua Jiuye also asserted that if this continued, he would definitely be able to restore Chu Heng's memory within a month. However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
During the day, Hongxiu always stayed by Chuheng's side, rarely letting Chuheng be alone with Mengwan and the others. But on this day, when Chuheng went out, she surprisingly didn't follow him. Instead, she went to Mengwan's room.
Hua Jiuye was also there, as he needed to protect Meng Wan from being harmed. Hongxiu, however, raised an eyebrow and said, "Could you please step out for a moment? I have something to discuss with her."
Hua Jiuye was clearly taken aback, then turned her head to look at Meng Wan.
Meng Wan was also stunned, and turned to Hongxiu: "Just say what you want to say. He's one of us, there's no need to avoid him."
"But... some things are too private. Do you really want others to hear them?" Hongxiu curled her lips into a sinister smile.
Meng Wan frowned slightly. A private matter? What?
He immediately gave Hua Jiuye a wink. Hua Jiuye hesitated for a moment, but still left as instructed. However, he did not go far and simply stood guard at the door.
With only the two of them remaining, Meng Wan said, "Please speak, Princess."
Upon hearing this, Hongxiu smiled almost imperceptibly, then glanced at Meng Wan, and with a smile, took out a booklet from her bosom and handed it to Meng Wan.
Meng Wan was somewhat suspicious, but she still took it. She glanced down at it, and in that one glance, she froze.
"This is..."
It's said that women from Western Shu are different from women from the Central Plains. Meng Wan used to think they were just a bit more unrestrained by nature, but she never imagined it would be like this...
How should I put it? He actually carried a book of erotic pictures with him and paraded around like that.
Now, Meng Wan even forgot that she should stay away from her. She simply tossed the book aside as if it were a venomous snake, and looked at Hongxiu with her brows furrowed even more: "Why is the princess showing me this?"
Hongxiu's smile grew even more innocent, her eyes sparkling with tiny, fragmented lights, like countless stars in the summer sky, dazzling and boundless.
Looking at Meng Wan's face, she smiled even more smugly: "I got this from the palace maid. I just wanted to ask you, what position does Huangfu Mi like? You keep saying that Chu Heng is Huangfu Mi, so you've been with him for so long, you should know very well, right?"

Looking at Meng Wan's face, she smiled even more smugly: "I got this from the palace maid. I just wanted to ask you, what position does Huangfu Mi like? You keep saying that Chu Heng is Huangfu Mi, so you've been with him for so long, you should know very well, right?"
Meng Wan wasn't quite sure what she was up to, but hearing her so unabashedly casual remarks, her face flushed crimson, almost to the point of bleeding. She glared at Hongxiu and said, "I can't answer the princess's question. If you're trying to humiliate me, then I'm sorry, please leave. No matter what you do, I won't give up."
Hongxiu's face visibly stiffened for a moment, but only for a second, before her laughter became even more unrestrained: "Is that so? You really won't give up?"
"Yes!" Meng Wan nodded without hesitation.
Hongxiu narrowed her eyes: "Meng Wan, perhaps you don't know, but what I, Feng Hongxiu, want, I will never give to others, especially the man I love!"
"Even if it were someone else's husband, would you still snatch him away without any explanation?"
"yes."
Meng Wan gritted her teeth, not expecting her to answer so confidently, as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world. Her face darkened: "Aren't you afraid that he will blame you one day after he regains his memory?"
Hongxiu laughed even more heartily: "I am afraid, but by then you will have already been dealt with by me. I don't believe he would turn against me for a dead man. Don't forget, I am still a princess of Western Shu!"
These words startled Meng Wan.
What should be done with her?
She narrowed her eyes: "I'd really like to know what you're going to do?" Her tone carried a hint of sarcasm and disdain.
Hongxiu suddenly burst into laughter: "You don't believe me when I say you're stupid. I've sent Hua Jiuye away, leaving you alone. Isn't it obvious what I'm going to do?"
Meng Wan narrowed her eyes and instinctively took a step back, sensing something was wrong. She was about to head towards the door when Hongxiu raised an eyebrow and said, "If you want to ask Hua Jiuye for help, I advise you not to bother. My men are outside and have him under control, so don't even think about escaping."
Meng Wan clenched her fists tightly, turned her head and looked through the door, but she really couldn't see Hua Jiuye's figure. At this moment, she felt more and more uneasy. However, Hongxiu did not give her time to react. Suddenly, she raised her hand and hit her cheek hard.
Meng Wan was startled. She saw that Hongxiu had hit her with all her might, her cheeks were instantly red and swollen, and she was about to collapse to the ground. She was a little confused.
"What...what are you going to do?"
