Meng Yanzhi in her previous life jumped into the water to save the Crown Prince, which resulted in her being unable to bear children for the rest of her life. However, she was robbed of the positio...
Chapter 138 Furious Meat Chopping! Who angered her this time?
In one sentence, Meng Anfeng was successfully rendered speechless.
He frowned and looked at Meng Yanzhi with some helplessness: "Those are all things of the past. Later, your parents gave you what you were supposed to give them. What are you still holding a grudge about? Your parents gave birth to you, are they wrong to do that?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Yanzhi found it utterly ridiculous.
"Brother, I hope you can get straight to the point."
There's really no need for us to beat around the bush like this!
Meng Yanzhi had completely lost her patience.
She frowned and looked at Meng Anfeng with some displeasure, saying sullenly, "Brother, I need to prepare lunch in half an hour."
Upon hearing this, Meng Anfeng paused for a moment before saying, "I'm about to go to the south for disaster relief. You should go back home often. Although your parents don't say it, I know they miss you!"
Does a perfect family reunion always have to be one of filial piety and parental love?
"Can't everyone just live their own lives and not bother each other?"
Meng Yanzhi had really lost her patience and frowned as she looked at Meng Anfeng.
She really didn't understand why the Meng family, who didn't like her as their daughter at all, would keep clinging to her.
"Meng Yanzhi, what's wrong with your temper? As children, it's only natural to ask our parents for love and care. What are you fussing about? What are you being so stubborn about?" Meng Anfeng was also full of confusion.
Why is it that Xian'er has such a talent for making everyone around her like her so much, but Meng Yanzhi can't do the same?
In the end, it all comes down to Meng Yanzhi's own problems!
Upon hearing this, Meng Yanzhi burst out laughing.
"Take care, brother, I really have to go now."
After saying that, Meng Yanzhi turned around and walked towards the small kitchen. For some reason, Meng Anfeng had never paid any attention to this little girl before, but now, whenever he saw Meng Yanzhi's indifferent appearance, he felt very uncomfortable.
He stared intently at Meng Yanzhi's retreating figure, his eyebrows furrowed tightly. Helpless, he tossed a money pouch onto the table and strode away.
Inside the small kitchen, Meng Yanzhi was frantically chopping minced meat!
Seeing Meng Yanzhi like this, Tan Yun felt a little scared and hurriedly stepped forward to tentatively say, "Why don't I do it?"
"No need, I can do it myself!" Meng Yanzhi continued to exert force, as if she wanted to vent all her anger on it!
The commotion was so loud that even Xiao Xingyuan heard it. He frowned slightly, somewhat shocked: "Who has upset her again?"
Wang Huanhai glanced at Xiao Xingyuan and coughed, "Meng Anfeng went to see Miss Meng."
"Why would he go to see Meng Yanzhi if he had nothing better to do?"
"Your Majesty, he is my own brother."
Sometimes Wang Huanhai really had no choice. Could siblings really never see each other again?
Soon, the Meng family sent a message to Meng Yanzhi, asking her to come home.
Even though Meng Yanzhi was unwilling, she thought it would be good to be able to leave the palace so she could see Zhang Xuanyun off.
Meng Yanzhi is now a third-rank female official, so she can leave the palace at any time without reporting it.
The first thing she did after leaving the palace was not to go home, but to go to Zhang Xuanyun's house.
"gentlemen."
Meng Yanzhi bowed to Zhang Xuanyun and smiled slightly.
"Is the gentleman going with His Highness to the south for disaster relief?"
“There are really a lot of bugs over there, so this gentleman should be able to use it.”
Meng Yanzhi took out a small medicine packet and handed it to Zhang Xuanyun with a smile.
Zhang Xuanyun nodded, then looked at Meng Yanzhi: "Miss Meng, you're very kind."
"Sir, the journey is long and arduous, and you will be in great danger. You must take good care of yourself. If you encounter danger, run away if you can. Don't try to be a hero. Let me tell you, people who try to be heroes always end up dying a very, very tragic death!"
Meng Yanzhi still looked at Zhang Xuanyun with some unease. This person was good in every way, but despite being a civil official, he had an inexplicable air of recklessness about him!
Seeing Meng Yanzhi's incessant chatter, Zhang Xuanyun couldn't help but burst out laughing: "What's wrong? Do you think I'm that irrational?"
"What do you think?" Meng Yanzhi asked, feeling annoyed.
However, Meng Yanzhi quickly smiled gently: "Sir, you will definitely return in triumph. After you come back this time, you will be able to enter the central government. I know that you have great talent and will surely rise step by step and soar to great heights!"
"Then I'll take your kind words." Zhang Xuanyun smiled gently.
Sometimes, he himself lacks confidence, but this little girl will believe in him unconditionally!
"Sir, this is what I've learned from practicing calligraphy recently. Do you think I've improved a lot?"
"While I was in the palace, I cooked, read account books, and sometimes even had to write lists by hand. My handwriting improved by leaps and bounds."
Meng Yanzhi also shared her life with Zhang Xuanyun, her rambling manner resembling that of family members sharing their experiences.
Seeing Meng Yanzhi like this, Zhang Xuanyun's eyes softened inch by inch. He rubbed Meng Yanzhi's head and said, "Not bad, not bad. You have indeed made progress. It seems that practice makes perfect!"
"Of course, I am your student, sir. I can't let you down, can I?"
"Sir, please be careful."
No matter how happy Meng Yanzhi was, she was still a little worried, fearing that Zhang Xuanyun might encounter some danger on his journey.
"Alright, alright, you've said it so many times. You're not an old lady yet, why are you nagging like this?"
Zhang Xuanyun smiled, and as he looked at Meng Yanzhi, a touch of tenderness and warmth rose in his heart.
He came from a poor family and his parents passed away early. He had relied on his pride to get to where he was today, and he had long since grown cold. But he never expected that Meng Yanzhi would be like a glimmer of light in the darkness, illuminating his life and his future little by little.
He even knew that Meng Yanzhi herself was not in a good situation, yet she still exerted all her strength to pull him to a bright and sunny place, which was truly remarkable.
"Sir, I have to go. My parents are waiting for me to come home." Meng Yanzhi snorted, clearly somewhat unwilling.
Zhang Xuanyun sighed helplessly and said, "There are no parents who are wrong, and filial piety is the most important virtue. I don't want to advise you, but you also need to protect yourself, understand?"
"Yes, I understand."
"Sir, I will speak politely. I'm going back now."
Meng Yanzhi smiled, bowed, and turned to walk outside.
In the dark room, Xiao Ce walked out, stared at the medicine packet in Zhang Xuanyun's hand, and snorted: "Your student is really good to you!"
