Chapter 217 The Wicked Girl Screams, the Young Lady Takes Revenge with Domineering Power!

Upon hearing this, even Xiao Xingyuan was stunned. Even though Meng Yanzhi had never said anything, Xiao Xingyuan always understood that she was holding back some things from him. But with just these two simple sentences, Xiao Xingyuan immediately realized that she was holding back completely!

He immediately sat up and looked at Meng Yanzhi very seriously. He then grabbed her hand and squeezed it slightly, his voice even trembling a little: "Are you telling the truth? Are you telling the truth?"

"It's true, of course it's true!"

"Your Majesty, I like you, I love you, and I want to be with you."

Meng Yanzhi's eyes sparkled as she stared intently at Xiao Xingyuan's face, speaking each word clearly.

She spoke clearly, her eyes sincere, yet she stirred Xiao Xingyuan's heart.

Xiao Xingyuan immediately stepped forward, then hugged the person tightly, laughing so hard he was almost convulsing.

"You like me, you said you like me!"

"I knew it, you think I'm great too, don't you?"

Xiao Xingyuan was so happy that he didn't seem like an emperor at all, but more like a child.

This surprised Meng Yanzhi, mainly because she never expected Xiao Xingyuan to be so childish and incredibly cute.

She smiled softly, hugged Xiao Xingyuan, and kissed him repeatedly in the ear.

The two quickly embraced, holding each other tightly, their hushed conversation continuing into the early hours of the morning.

Wang Huanhai, who was guarding the door, smiled slightly upon hearing the voice. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. He had accompanied Xiao Xingyuan as he grew up, and now that he saw Xiao Xingyuan had found his own happiness, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The next day, early morning.

When Xiao Xingyuan got up, Meng Yanzhi had prepared a hot vegetable porridge for him.

"Eat this before going to court, and you won't go hungry."

"After you finish court, I'll have dinner with you, okay?"

Meng Yanzhi smiled and looked at Xiao Xingyuan, then brought the vegetable porridge to his lips.

Xiao Xingyuan opened his mouth, his eyes crinkling, and looked at Meng Yanzhi.

This guy...

Helpless, Meng Yanzhi could only feed him bite by bite.

Wang Huanhai was dressing Xiao Xingyuan at this moment. He found Xiao Xingyuan's appearance quite amusing, as he had never seen Xiao Xingyuan so childish before.

After finishing the bowl of porridge, Xiao Xingyuan nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and strode away.

Meng Yanzhi continued to busy herself with various matters in the imperial kitchen. By the time Mingchu arrived, it was almost noon. When the two met, Mingchu held Meng Yanzhi's hand tightly and looked at her with concern: "Miss, are you alright? Are you alright?"

“I’m fine. Come on, I’ll take you to see Meng Anxian.”

Meng Yanzhi knew that she wasn't the only one who had suffered injustice over the years; Mingchu had also suffered a lot. So now she definitely had to take Mingchu with her to see it!

She took Mingchu's hand, and together they walked towards the inner prison.

The inner prison was cold and damp; as soon as you stepped inside, you could hear screams and curses.

Meng Yanzhi tried to bribe the jailer, but he wouldn't listen. Left with no other option, she had to use the Emperor's token to finally see Meng Anxian.

At this moment, Meng Anxian's clothes were disheveled and her hair was like dry straw. She was curled up in the pile of straw and looked extremely disheveled.

But for Meng Yanzhi, this was far from enough.

"Little sister, it's been a long time."

Meng Yanzhi stood quietly outside and spoke softly.

Upon hearing this voice, Meng Anxian's expression immediately changed. She hurriedly scrambled up from the haystack and rushed to the door, staring intently at Meng Yanzhi.

"It was you! You plotted against me, didn't you?"

"Meng Yanzhi, all of this is because of you, isn't it!"

Meng Anxian's eyes were bloodshot, as if she were about to die together with Meng Yanzhi at any moment.

"You poisoned your mother and your elder sister. You did all of these things yourself. How could I have framed you?"

"Besides, look at yourself now, what right do you have to talk to me like that?"

Meng Yanzhi remained expressionless, merely looking at her coldly, her gaze carrying a hint of unspoken mockery and disdain.

"Meng Anxian, do you still remember what you did to me the first day I came home?"

"Do you really think I don't know what you and your mother are planning?"

"You were the ones who prevented me from being a mother first, and now I'm just retaliating in kind."

Meng Yanzhi gave a cold laugh.

But at this moment, Meng Anxian felt a chill run down her spine.

Her eyebrows were furrowed tightly as she stared at Meng Yanzhi: "You, what are you going to do? You dare!"

"Mingchu, go."

Meng Yanzhi gave a brief instruction.

Immediately afterwards, the cell door was opened, and two jailers held Meng Anxian down tightly. Ming Chu's eyes flashed with hatred, and he picked up a long bamboo stick and drove it into Meng Anxian's fingernails.

"ah!"

"Ouch, that hurts! You bitch, Meng Yanzhi!"

"How dare you treat me like this, Meng Yanzhi!"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me!"

Meng Anxian screamed and cursed, tears streaming down her face as she struggled desperately, but she couldn't break free at all.

Seeing this, Meng Yanzhi showed no expression whatsoever.

"The day I returned to the Meng family, you pulled out all my fingernails. I still remember that incident to this day!"

"Today, I'm returning all of this to you. As for the rest, good luck to you."

Meng Yanzhi took a deep breath, stood up, and strode away.

"Come back! Meng Yanzhi, come back here! Let me out!"

"Meng Yanzhi, I didn't mean it, Meng Yanzhi!"

"Come back!"

Meng Anxian lay on the ground like a dead dog, all ten of her fingers aching terribly, tears streaming down her face.

"Pah! What right do you have to call my young lady by her name!"

"You vile bitch!"

Ming Chu spat fiercely, stepped on Meng Anxian's fingers, stomped on them hard, and then strode out with Meng Yanzhi.

Once outside, the sunlight shone on the two of them, and Meng Yanzhi felt warm all over. She looked at Ming Chu with a smile on her face.

"Do you feel relieved now?"

Meng Yanzhi looked at Ming Chu with a smile.

“Miss, I am already extremely grateful that you brought me here!” Ming Chu looked at Meng Yanzhi very seriously and smiled gently: “From now on, I can finally live a good life.”

Hearing this, Meng Yanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and said gently, "Yes, we can live a good life from now on. Mingchu, you don't have to worry anymore."
