Chapter 15 Mencius's Mother's Favoritism

As soon as he said that, the entire courtyard fell silent for a moment.

Lu Ping knew that Meng Anxian was a spoiled young lady, but she never expected that she would say such stupid things.

Currently, the marriage between the Crown Prince and the Meng family is still only in the talk and has not been finalized at all, but Meng Anxian has already implied in her words that she considers herself the Crown Princess.

This...this person is incredibly shameless!

"The Crown Prince is getting engaged, how come none of us knew?" Lu Ping looked at Meng Anxian in disbelief: "Could it be that Her Majesty the Empress issued an imperial decree?"

Upon hearing this, Meng's mother felt a wave of dizziness. She quickly stepped forward, grabbed Lu Ping's hand, and said with a smile, "My daughter just likes to talk nonsense. Miss Lu, please don't take it to heart, and please don't spread it around."

"For the sake of the Crown Prince's reputation, this servant will naturally not speak recklessly. However, if the Second Miss continues to speak so recklessly, I'm afraid..." The rest of the sentence was naturally left unsaid, and everyone understood.

At this moment, Meng Anxian realized that she had said the wrong thing. Her face turned red, and she stood there at a loss.

"Xian'er, what are you standing there for? Apologize to your older sister!"

Mencius' mother's tone became sharp.

Although she was extremely resentful, Meng Anxian still gritted her teeth and said, "Big sister, I'm sorry!"

Her apology was completely insincere.

However, Meng Yanzhi didn't care whether she was truly insincere or not. She simply smiled and said lightly, "We're all sisters, there's no need for so many rules. Second sister, you still need to cultivate your manners. A girl's face is the most precious thing!"

After speaking, Meng Yanzhi covered her mouth, her eyes deliberately flashing with schadenfreude. She bowed to her mother and turned to leave with Lu Ping.

"mother!"

"Did you see that? Meng Yanzhi, that vicious little bitch, she did it on purpose!"

"Look at my face! How can I ever go out in public like this?!"

Meng Anxian held her mother's hand and cried incessantly!

"Enough!"

Finally, Meng's mother could no longer bear it. Her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and she looked at Meng Anxian with displeasure, gritting her teeth as she said, "How long are you going to keep this up? How can you make things up without evidence? Besides, Meng Yanzhi is with the Crown Prince right now. How can you be so careless with your words?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Anxian finally calmed down, but she still felt mostly aggrieved.

With red eyes, she tugged at her mother's sleeve and pleaded in a tearful voice, "Mother, it's all my fault. Please don't be angry. I'm scared of you."

Mother Meng was naturally furious, but her anger was mostly directed at Meng Yanzhi. Seeing Meng Anxian's pitiful appearance with red eyes, she hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, don't think about anything now. Just stay in the courtyard and rest well. As long as your mother is here, Meng Yanzhi can't cause any trouble!"

After saying that, Mother Meng took the ointment from the side and gently applied it to her face, blowing on it softly: "You are the rightful eldest daughter of the Meng family. Why bother arguing with a country bumpkin? She can't give birth anyway, so she can't marry the Crown Prince. Just wait and see, Mother will arrange everything for you!"

Although Meng Yanzhi left, she did not immediately leave Lingxi Courtyard. Now, standing at the door, she heard Meng's mother's words clearly.

Even though Meng Yanzhi had suffered enough in her previous life, hearing these words now still made her previously numb heart ache unbearably.

It turns out that her own mother didn't love her at all!

It turns out that all the forbearance in my previous life was just a joke.

"Young Miss, are you alright?"

Lu Ping looked at Meng Yanzhi with some sympathy.

Meng Yanzhi finally came to her senses. She was so excited that she bit her lip so hard that it was bleeding.

"It's okay, let's go back."

Meng Yanzhi forced a smile, then turned and walked towards her Qinghe Courtyard.

Seeing Meng Yanzhi like this, Lu Ping felt terrible. As soon as she got back, she sent Lu Huan to the Crown Prince's residence to report the news, hoping that the Crown Prince could see Meng Anxian's true colors and not marry such a scourge.

The Crown Prince's Residence.

Lu Huan hurried in: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince..."

"His Majesty!"

When Lu Huan's eyes fell on the man, her legs went weak, and she knelt on the ground, trembling.

Seeing this, the man asked with interest, "You're in such a hurry, is something the matter?"

There is indeed something to say, but it's not appropriate to say it in front of this person, is it?

Lu Huan looked pitiful and gave Xiao Ce a meaningful look.

Xiao Ce raised an eyebrow: "Your father asked you, why didn't you answer?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Huan made up her mind: "Your Highness, the Meng family is a den of wolves and tigers. Everyone from top to bottom bullies the eldest young lady, and the second young lady is even more arrogant and domineering with a vicious heart. Such people are not worthy of Your Highness at all!"

"They have so blasphemed His Highness the Crown Prince's savior and even deliberately plotted against his marriage. They deserve to die!" Lu Huan became more and more agitated as he spoke, and almost stood up.

Would someone like her be bullied?

Xiao Xingyuan raised an eyebrow, thinking of the woman swaying like a cat beneath him, and then of her seducing Xiao Ce without batting an eye, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

How could such a little fox be bullied?

Xiao Ce had been observing Xiao Xingyuan's expression, but found that his reaction was indeed a bit off.

"Father, this..."

"Since it's your own business, you should handle it yourself."

Xiao Xingyuan stood up, looked at Xiao Ce, and paused.

"But you must never become someone else's gun."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Xingyuan had already walked out.

Staring at Xiao Xingyuan's back, Xiao Ce's expression changed. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Go back and tell your eldest sister to protect Meng Yanzhi well. The three of you, come back immediately."

Even though Xiao Xingyuan didn't say anything, Xiao Ce understood that he probably didn't approve of the Crown Prince interfering in the private lives of his subjects. Sending four people over at once was really going too far.

Upon hearing this, Lu Huan became somewhat anxious: "But Miss Meng is a good-for-nothing, Your Highness. Why don't I accompany her instead? I'm afraid she'll suffer!"

oh?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ce immediately became interested.

He looked at Lu Huan with some curiosity: "You've only been there for a few days, why are you already siding with her?"

"No, I just think that someone as mild-mannered as her is utterly pathetic." Lu Huan sighed. "The second young lady and the cousin are both fiercer than the other, they wish they could devour her alive, but the eldest young lady seems to be oblivious to it all, always smiling like a fool."
