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 269 The Imperial Concubine Makes a Powerful Confession: Yes! I did scheme against the Meng family!
This was a rare moment of peace and happiness, so the two of them wished they could hold onto all the good times. So they didn't take a car, but walked back step by step.
Upon hearing the news, Meng Anfeng from the frontier rushed back immediately. However, by the time he arrived back, a month had passed. When he saw Meng's father, he was dark-skinned, thin, and dirty, completely devoid of his former vigor.
"father!"
Seeing his father like this, Meng Anfeng felt extremely distressed, and tears streamed down his face. He then knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed three times.
Seeing Meng Anfeng like this, Meng's father was stunned. Then he quickly reacted, gritting his teeth and looking at him: "Weren't you stationed on the frontier? Why did you come back? Who sent you back? Was it the emperor, or Meng Yanzhi? Who!"
"I asked for it back myself after hearing the news!"
"Father, something has happened to you. How can I ignore it? I can't just leave you like this!"
Meng Anfeng remained resolute, holding his father's hand firmly.
"Father, don't worry, I will definitely save you!"
Meng's father had originally held a sliver of hope for the Meng family, but seeing Meng Anfeng in this state, he immediately lost all hope.
"You idiot, don't you know that as long as you're here, the Meng family will exist!"
"If you're not here, the Meng family will be completely ruined, do you understand?"
"Go back, go back now, don't worry about whether I live or die!"
Meng's father slapped Meng Anfeng hard across the face, turned his face away, and refused to look at him again.
Meng Anfeng had never dared to talk back to his father since he was a child, so he could only kowtow once and then get up and walk outside.
He went directly to the imperial palace to request an audience with Meng Yanzhi.
Meng Yanzhi's belly was already slightly protruding. She was now the Empress, but the investiture ceremony was still being prepared, so it would take a little longer before it could be announced to the world.
Seeing Meng Anfeng rush in, Meng Yanzhi frowned and then said, "Brother, this is the palace. How can you be so ignorant of etiquette?"
"you!"
Meng Anfeng gritted his teeth at first, but then remembered that he had come to ask for a favor, so he could only reluctantly kneel on the ground and perform a proper bow.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
"What do you want?" Meng Yanzhi didn't let him stand up, she just looked at him coldly.
Meng Anfeng didn't care about these things anymore, and simply said, "Why don't you care about Father's affairs? Aren't you very favored now? Can't you plead for Father?"
"How can you plead for mercy when someone has colluded with the enemy and betrayed their country?"
"It's already a miracle that they didn't implicate us, and you're still nagging me?"
Meng Yanzhi raised an eyebrow, looking at Meng Anfeng with disdain.
What?
Meng Anfeng never expected that his father would do something like this.
His eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he gritted his teeth as he stared at Meng Yanzhi. After a moment's thought, he said, "Fine, no matter what, he's still our father. As his daughter, you can't just ignore him!"
Am I a daughter?
"How could I not know? If Father doesn't know what kind of life I had in the Meng family, then tell me, you don't know either, you don't remember, right?"
Meng Yanzhi looked at Meng Anfeng with disdain and smiled coldly.
Meng Anfeng was dumbfounded. Ever since Meng Yanzhi returned home, he had never really treated her as his younger sister and had always helped Meng Anxian bully her. But he never expected that one day, such a thing would happen. It seemed that the situation had completely changed.
But when exactly did it begin?
Over the years, these events have been constantly replaying in Meng Anfeng's mind like a revolving lantern.
Meng Anfeng quickly realized what was happening. He stood up and looked at Meng Yanzhi in disbelief: "You did this on purpose! You did this on purpose, didn't you!"
"You! You deliberately plotted against the Meng family, you exposed the Meng family, you meticulously cultivated your way to His Majesty's side, all to destroy the Meng family, wasn't that right!"
"yes!"
Meng Yanzhi admitted it without any hesitation.
There's no point in denying it now; she just wants to tell these people what she did and why!
She wanted these people to understand that there is always a price to pay for what they have done.
"You bitch!"
"You vicious, despicable woman!"
"We're family, family! You're going to keep nagging about all this nonsense, aren't you? How could you do this!"
Meng Anfeng always thought that the matter between Meng Yanzhi and Meng Anxian was just a small thing between young girls, and it shouldn't have come to this!
But unfortunately, Meng Yanzhi died so tragically in her previous life, ruining her entire existence. How could she not hate her?
Seeing Meng Anfeng's angry expression, Meng Yanzhi's eyes also reddened. Even though she had come this far step by step, even though she had paid back all the pain she had suffered in the past, Meng Yanzhi felt no pleasure at all!
She had initially thought that seeing these people weeping in front of her would make her feel incredibly happy, but when the moment actually arrived and they were crying in front of her, Meng Yanzhi realized that she felt no triumph, only sorrow.
They didn't know they were wrong, nor did they feel any remorse. They were just afraid and unwilling to accept it. Even now, they still blamed and cursed her, as if it were all her fault!
"It turns out that those who don't care about me never will."
"Those who care about me have already cared for me long ago."
Meng Yanzhi suddenly smiled, but tears just started falling.
"Yes, you're right. It's not my fault; it was just wishful thinking on my part."
"I actually thought you would feel guilty. I actually thought you didn't do it on purpose."
"Haha, I was so naive!"
Meng Yanzhi took a deep breath and forcefully wiped away the tears on her face.
Meng Anfeng had never seen Meng Yanzhi like this before. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed as he looked at her with some confusion: "It's just a little quarrel between sisters. No matter what, your family raised you and gave birth to you. How can you be so vengeful?"
"You don't understand, you don't understand anything at all!"
"You were born into the Meng family as their son, showered with love and affection. How could you possibly understand the pain of being ostracized and abused like me?"
"You are the least qualified to criticize me."
Meng Yanzhi stared intently at Meng Anfeng.
"Because you are the worst, you are worse than all of them!"
"Meng Anfeng, in the end, you're the one who deserves to die the most!"
