Chapter 228 My Brother's Heartbreak: How Should I Deal with a Broken Family Ties?

Meng Yanzhi found these words utterly ridiculous!

The main reason is that Meng Yanzhi never imagined that one day she would be sitting and talking with her father like this, and that they would be talking about the prosperity of the Meng family.

She smiled and looked at her father, saying calmly, "Actually, I think what you said makes a lot of sense. Although my mother and Meng Anxian have been abusing and mistreating me, your hands are clean, Father. You haven't done anything to wrong me. I'm very satisfied with the Meng family as it is now, so I won't continue down this path."

Meng Yanzhi smiled gently and then looked at her father very seriously.

Mencius' father even doubted his own ears, wondering if he had misheard.

He looked at Meng Yanzhi in disbelief. He had thought that Meng Yanzhi would definitely make a scene against him, but he never expected that Meng Yanzhi would listen to him so easily.

He was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "You truly are my daughter. I knew you were a smart child!"

clever?

Meng Yanzhi found these words utterly ridiculous!

She gently played with her fingernails and said softly, "Is this all Father told me when he came here?"

Yes, that's all.

"There's still plenty of time. Even if there's something to say, we can talk about it later."

"Your Majesty, I will definitely protect you and make things better for you."

Previously, the Meng family's daughters had no connection with the imperial palace, so Meng's father always felt as if something was missing.

But things are different now; the situation has clearly changed.

Now, Mr. Meng feels that the future of the Meng family is indeed getting better and better.

Not long after he left, Meng Anfeng arrived.

In the past, whenever Meng Anfeng saw Meng Yanzhi, he would either glare at her or speak harshly to her. But this time, Meng Anfeng simply stood there quietly, staring at Meng Yanzhi without even the slightest expression in his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Meng Yanzhi couldn't help but find it a little funny.

"Brother, it's not easy for you to come all the way to the palace. Did you just stand here and look at me?"

Meng Yanzhi stood up and walked step by step to Meng Anfeng, giving him a gentle smile.

This was the first time Meng Yanzhi had spoken so intimately with Meng Anfeng since returning to the Meng family. Before, it was because Meng Anfeng was away and they couldn't see each other, and later it was because Meng Anfeng disliked her. But now, the distance between the two seemed to have deepened, but the way they expressed themselves had changed from initial rage to silence.

"Your mother has been divorced, Xian'er is imprisoned in the inner prison, and I'm about to go to the southern border. Is this what you wanted?"

"Even the New Year celebrations at home are part of your plans, aren't they?"

"You want to give the entire Meng family to this child in the future, right?"

Although Meng Anfeng is impulsive in his actions, he is actually quite intelligent and not a fool.

Hearing this, Meng Yanzhi nodded and smiled gently: "So far, I'm quite satisfied. These are all what I wanted."

"And what about me? Am I in your way by living?" Meng Anfeng suddenly stepped forward, staring at Meng Yanzhi with eyes wide with fury.

Do I hate it? Of course I hate it!

But for some reason, after things really developed to this point, Meng Anfeng had nothing else to say.

He knew that the Meng family had wronged Meng Yanzhi, but he didn't mean it. Before, he couldn't see Meng Yanzhi at all and didn't know that Meng Yanzhi was such an important person.

It's because Meng Yanzhi is so capable that she has relied on her own abilities to get to where she is today, to stand before them, and to make them have no choice but to see her!

"Mother, she's been sent to the estate."

"Could you come with me to see her?"

Meng Anfeng took a deep breath. He was about to leave for the southern border, so he wanted to see his mother before he left.

But to Meng Yanzhi, that person was not her mother at all. She just looked at Meng Anfeng expressionlessly, her whole demeanor icy: "I'm not going. She doesn't want to see me. You go by yourself."

In the past, Meng Yanzhi was a female official who could go out whenever she wanted, but now that she is an imperial concubine, she can no longer go out whenever she wants.

Seeing Meng Yanzhi like this, Meng Anfeng took a deep breath, his eyes reddening, and whispered, "Yanzhi, will you never forgive me again?"

"I will never forgive you, nor will I blame you, not for any other reason than that it's simply not worth it."

Meng Yanzhi waved her hand dismissively.

"Meng Anfeng, the southern border is dangerous, but it is also a good place to make achievements. I hope you can seize the opportunity!"

"Take care, don't bother seeing me off, and hopefully we'll never meet again!"

Meng Anfeng wanted to say something more, but he quickly realized what was going on, took a deep breath, turned around, and walked outside.

Watching Meng Anfeng turn and leave, Meng Yanzhi clenched her fists and stood silently at the door.

"Sister, are you sad?"

Xiaoyue walked over and looked at Meng Yanzhi with some confusion, mainly because Meng Yanzhi's expression was too strange. She didn't know whether she was happy or sad, but it was clear that she was uncomfortable.

Meng Yanzhi didn't say much, but gently touched Xiaoyue's cheek, glanced at her, and smiled faintly.

In fact, Meng Yanzhi has now found a new life. Those who harmed her in her previous life have all received their due punishment. Now, only her father remains.

For some reason, Meng Yanzhi no longer had any desire to pursue the matter further. After all, the past was the past, and she had a long future ahead of her. She couldn't always live in the past; she had to look forward.

"Xiaoyue, shall we go for a walk in the Imperial Garden?" Meng Yanzhi smiled gently, took Xiaoyue's hand, and walked out together.

In the Imperial Garden, the sun shone brightly and the flowers were in full bloom, so Meng Yanzhi's mood gradually improved.

Meng Yanzhi sat quietly by the pond, watching the koi fish dart back and forth among the lotus leaves. A slight smile appeared on her lips as she looked at Xiaoyue: "Is it pretty?"

"They're so beautiful! These koi are so fat! Sister, how can they be so chubby?" Xiaoyue tilted her head and looked at Meng Yanzhi with some curiosity. "Sister, let's catch two and roast them tonight, okay?"

Previously, Meng Yanzhi thought Ling Xiao was joking with her, but now she realized that the child was really greedy.
