He still vaguely remembered from his past life, when he had saved Ye Qingqing from the bandits, that he mentioned how the Ye Family saved him. She was stunned for a moment, and then she bluntly said that she had merely acted on a whim and did not take it to heart, not realizing it also greatly helped the Meng Family.
During the time that followed, he kept Ye Qingqing by his side, and the Meng Family encountered quite a few troubles, all of which he resolved.
As for later on, when she was about to marry the Thirteenth Prince as his concubine, looking pitiful before she left, he used resources to help the Thirteenth Prince, simply hoping that because of him, the Thirteenth Prince would treat her a little better.
In his previous life, he was deceived by Ye Qingqing, simply because he met her after he had come into power.
In this life, he saw through Ye Qingqing's true nature early on, as the downfall of the Meng Family was hastened.
