Chapter 208 How could you even say "sharing a husband"?!

Meng Yanzhi simply gave a few perfunctory words before getting up and seeing them off.

After leaving the courtyard, Xiao Ce belatedly realized: "Was she using us?"

Looking at Xiao Ce's aggrieved expression, Zhang Xuanyun smiled faintly: "We're just partners, so it's only natural that we take advantage of each other."

There's nothing wrong with what I'm saying, but for some reason it just sounds so awkward.

Xiao Ce rolled his eyes at Zhang Xuanyun's self-righteous attitude and said irritably, "You make it sound so easy. I've never been used like this before!"

"Actually, Your Highness has been being used all along, but he just doesn't realize it. Fortunately, Miss Meng is quite honest." Zhang Xuanyun was still kind; even when he was criticizing someone, he didn't forget to say something nice.

Xiao Ce gritted his teeth and chuckled. He now realized that Zhang Xuanyun was clearly biased towards Meng Yanzhi. But that wasn't surprising, since he was also somewhat biased towards Meng Yanzhi.

If Meng Yanzhi needs it, she'll use it, but she won't really take it to heart or be able to let it go.

The one I truly care about is Meng Anxian!

After confirming that Xiao Ce and the others had left, Meng Anxian rushed back and slapped Meng Yanzhi hard across the face.

"You bitch!"

Meng Anxian gritted her teeth and stared intently at Meng Yanzhi.

"I knew you were a restless person all along, but I really didn't expect you to be so shameless. You could actually say something like sharing a husband. Don't you have any shame at all?"

Looking at Meng Anxian's angry expression, Meng Yanzhi found it utterly ridiculous.

"Is that so? But why do I feel that His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't find me offensive?"

"If one day His Highness the Crown Prince really wants it, what can I do?"

Meng Yanzhi rubbed her cheeks and looked at Meng Anxian with some helplessness.

"Meng Anxian, you can't be so selfish. How come you're the only one in the whole family who gets to live a good life?"

"Don't forget, I am the real daughter of this family. You are nothing but an imposter. The family has already been more than kind to you, and now even your mother is willing to kill me for your sake!"

Meng Yanzhi spoke with increasing self-righteousness, as if Meng Anxian owed her all of this.

Of course, that's the truth, but Meng Anxian doesn't see it that way.

Sure enough, Meng Anxian was even more devastated after hearing these words. Her eyebrows furrowed tightly, she gritted her teeth, and stared at Meng Yanzhi: "I will absolutely not allow such a thing to happen, Meng Yanzhi. You want to enter the Crown Prince's residence? You're dreaming! I will never agree to it!"

After saying this, Meng Anxian strode outside and headed straight for her mother's courtyard.

Meng Yanzhi snorted indifferently and then went to Aunt Chen's courtyard.

The entire Meng family's inner quarters are now firmly in Chen Yiniang's hands. So when Meng Yanzhi comes in now, she can see that the furnishings in Chen Yiniang's room are different from before. Even Chen Yiniang herself is dressed more brightly and is no longer as timid as before. She can truly be described as being in the spring breeze of success.

"Young Miss is here. Your injuries haven't healed yet, so why are you walking around again?"

"I've prepared a lot of supplements for you, so you must remember to take them."

Aunt Chen looked at Meng Yanzhi with some worry, unable to hide her heartache.

Meng Yanzhi's face was deathly pale, and she looked sickly. She didn't look like a rich young lady at all; she looked more like a starving refugee.

I've come to see the New Year.

After Meng Yanzhi sat down, she smiled at Aunt Chen.

Upon hearing this, the wet nurse hurriedly took the baby into her arms.

Aunt Chen was puzzled by Meng Yanzhi's fondness for the child: "The young lady herself has never given birth, so why does she like Nian'er so much?"

“He’s my brother, isn’t it only natural that I like him?” Meng Yanzhi smiled gently, took out a small jade ruyi, and put it into Nian’er’s swaddling clothes: “I watched this child being born myself, how could I not like him?”

Although that's what she said, Aunt Chen still felt that Meng Yanzhi's affection for this child was unusual. If she weren't certain that the child was hers, Aunt Chen would even suspect that it might be Meng Yanzhi's child.

After confirming that the child was alright, Meng Yanzhi got up and walked towards her Qinghe Courtyard.

Before they even stepped inside, they were met head-on by Meng Anfeng, who had come to confront them.

Meng Anfeng first looked at Meng Yanzhi, noticing her pale face. His expression changed, and his tone softened: "You're injured, why aren't you resting in your own courtyard? Why are you wandering around?"

"Brother, you're going to the Southern Frontier soon, how can you still have the mind to care about me?" Meng Yanzhi smiled faintly. "However, judging from your appearance, you don't seem to be here to care about me. I suppose there's something else on your mind. Why don't you just say what's on your mind?"

Seeing Meng Yanzhi's expression, Meng Anfeng's face changed. He then pulled her into the courtyard and said helplessly, "The matter between the Crown Prince and Xian'er has already been settled. No matter how dissatisfied you are, it's impossible now. So why are you doing this?"

"I don't understand what you mean, brother." Meng Yanzhi looked completely bewildered, as if she didn't understand what Meng Anfeng was talking about at all.

Meng Anfeng was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said helplessly, "Don't think that just because I'm a man I don't know anything. You want to marry the Crown Prince as a concubine, don't you? There are so many good men in the world, why do you have to compete with your sister for one?"

So it was for this very reason.

The only thing that could excite Meng Anfeng, his older brother, so much is something related to Meng Anxian.

Seeing Meng Anfeng's expression, Meng Yanzhi smiled, then said with some helplessness, "Why is it that whatever she wants is considered legitimate, while whatever I want is considered greedy? My dear brother, do you even remember who your real sister is?"

"I, Meng Yanzhi, am the true daughter of the Meng family, aren't I?" Meng Yanzhi really couldn't understand why everyone preferred an outsider.

Meng Anfeng gave Meng Yanzhi a deep look: "In the end, you still resent Xian'er, feeling that she stole everything from you, don't you? Look at yourself now, don't you understand? Even without Xian'er, no one would like a daughter like you!"

"What did you say!"
