Chapter 273 Deep Friendship, I'll Stand Up for You!

Just looking at Meng Yanzhi like this, Zhao Bailu's fists hardened!

She gritted her teeth and said viciously, "Are these bastards even human? How could they be so cruel to their own daughter? You wait, I'm going to the Ministry of Justice prison right now to beat them up and get revenge for you!"

As she spoke, Zhao Bailu actually stood up and walked out. Seeing Zhao Bailu's indignant expression, Meng Yanzhi suddenly felt relieved.

It seems that the things from her previous life should really be left in the past. In this life, she has friends, a man who loves her wholeheartedly, and even a baby of her own in her belly.

If you keep dwelling on things from your past life, you're not making things difficult for others, but for yourself.

Thinking of this, Meng Yanzhi took Zhao Bailu's hand, smiled at her, shook her head and said, "It's okay, I've figured it out. Let the fate of the Meng family be left to the law. They will have to pay the price for their mistakes."

Seeing Meng Yanzhi's state, Zhao Bailu sighed helplessly and then said, "Yanzhi, you're just too kind, that's why these people always bully you!"

"But it's alright, it won't happen again. You have His Majesty and us to protect you, you'll definitely be alright from now on!" Zhao Bailu smiled gently, then hugged Meng Yanzhi: "Yanzhi, I want you to live a good life, I want us to live a good life from now on."

Meng Yanzhi smiled gently and hugged Zhao Bailu, saying tenderly, "Yes, you're right. We should live a good life together from now on."

study.

Zhao Bailu knelt before Xiao Xingyuan and recounted her conversation with Meng Yanzhi.

She looked at Xiao Xingyuan and said, "Your Majesty, Yan Zhi suffered a lot of grievances at home before, so please treat her well!"

This is what Zhao Bailu truly wanted to say for Meng Yanzhi, as a friend.

Xiao Xingyuan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said with a faint smile, "She is the person I love most, so of course I will treat her well. However, I am also gratified that she has a friend like you."

As he spoke, Xiao Xingyuan glanced at Wang Huanhai.

Wang Huanhai understood and hurriedly presented the selected gifts to Zhao Bailu, saying, "These are all gifts that His Majesty chose to congratulate Miss Zhao on her marriage!"

"Your Majesty, I thank you. Long live the Emperor!"

Zhao Bailu didn't hesitate at all, she kowtowed and accepted all the items.

She had been hoping that Xiao Xingyuan would ask how her aunt was doing, but to her utter surprise, he showed no intention of bringing it up at all.

For some reason, seeing Xiao Xingyuan like this made Zhao Bailu feel uneasy!

She returned home, placed all the things Xiao Xingyuan had given her on the table, and quietly looked at them.

Madam Zhao looked at her unusually gentle expression with some confusion: "What's wrong with you, child?"

"It's nothing, I just think people are really strange sometimes!"

"Mother, His Majesty is deeply in love with Meng Yanzhi, but why is he so heartless towards others?"

"When I entered the palace this time, His Majesty did not ask how my aunt was doing."

Zhao Bailu leaned against Madam Zhao, feeling a vague sadness in her heart.

Even if his aunt wasn't the one he loved, they had lived together for so long. Even a night of marriage is worth a hundred days of kindness. How could he be so cold-blooded?

Seeing Zhao Bailu's pitiful appearance, Madam Zhao felt somewhat relieved.

She smiled gently, then said directly, "Silly child, you've grown up and become more perceptive. His Majesty isn't heartless; he just doesn't like your aunt."

These words only made Zhao Bailu feel worse. She sighed and said sullenly, "Does dislike mean you can be so heartless? What about me? Gu Hanyue doesn't like me either, so I'm afraid she'll be even more heartless towards me in the future?"

"Who said he doesn't like you? He clearly likes you a lot. Do you think this marriage came about? He begged for it. At first, I also looked down on him because he was a playboy and refused to agree to it. But he begged me several times, and that's when I saw his true feelings for you and agreed to the marriage."

"Silly girl, he's so good to you, don't you feel it at all?"

Madam Zhao smiled gently and pinched Zhao Bailu's cheek.

She had thought that Zhao Bailu was very clear about Gu Hanyue's feelings, but she never expected that Zhao Bailu would be so clueless and know nothing at all.

"He has never said he likes me!"

Zhao Bailu turned her face away haughtily and snorted.

"Silly child, saying you like someone doesn't necessarily mean you really like them. Being nice to you is what truly means to like you."

"He's so good to you, I don't believe you can't feel it at all?"

Madam Zhao gently touched her cheek, feeling somewhat reluctant.

"My little girl, I still remember when you were born, a tiny, soft, fragrant bundle. I never imagined you would grow up so much and be getting married soon?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Bailu couldn't help but burst into tears. She hugged Madam Zhao and choked out, "Mother, can't I really stay at home forever?"

"Silly child, who can stay at home forever?"

"We women are destined to leave home from birth."

"Fortunately, your future husband is very good to you. He likes you and will definitely treat you well after you get married."

Madam Zhao smiled gently as she looked at her beloved daughter.

Zhao Bailu, however, didn't take it seriously at all. She snorted and said sullenly, "No matter how good he is to me, can he be as good as my family?"

Soon, the wedding date for Zhao Bailu and Gu Hanyue arrived.

As soon as she woke up in the morning, Meng Yanzhi followed behind Xiao Xingyuan, pleading incessantly, "Please let me leave the palace, please, Your Majesty, I beg you, I want to attend Bailu's wedding. She's been so good to me, how can I not be there for her wedding?"

“You are now a Noble Consort.” Xiao Xingyuan looked at Meng Yanzhi helplessly and pointed to her belly: “The baby is already seven months along. With such a big belly, it’s inconvenient for you to go anywhere. Don’t go, okay? After the wedding, I will have them come to the palace to pay their respects to you, okay?”

Oh no, oh no!

Meng Yanzhi flung Xiao Xingyuan's sleeve away, turned her face away, and remained silent, sulking.

Seeing Meng Yanzhi like this, Xiao Xingyuan felt helpless again: "Today, I really have something very important to do. I can't go with you. It's too dangerous for you to go alone. Please don't go, okay?"
