Chapter 47 Meng's Mother Actually Harms Her Own Daughter

Ever since Meng Yanzhi was reborn, she has always said such things, so Mingchu was somewhat moved and leaned on Meng Yanzhi's knees.

"Miss, the master and madam both favor the second young lady more. No one in this family is looking out for you; you must learn to look out for yourself!"

These words were considered extremely disrespectful, but Mingchu still said them to Meng Yanzhi, fearing that Meng Yanzhi would be misled by the tenderness before her.

Just then, Lu Ping entered carrying Chinese medicine and smiled at Meng Yanzhi: "Miss, it's time to take your medicine."

Whenever Meng Yanzhi saw this medicine bowl, she would become extremely clear-headed, because she knew that these medicines were her mother's doing and that they would ruin her future.

Thank you.

Meng Yanzhi took the medicine bowl, smiled at the two people, and then poured the medicine out.

"Young Miss, this tonic is very precious. Your body is a bit weak, so you should take good care of yourself."

Lu Ping looked at Meng Yanzhi with some concern, not understanding why she would pour out the medicine for no reason.

"This contains safflower and musk. If you drink it for a long time, you won't be able to have children."

Meng Yanzhi spoke the truth. She hadn't spoken before because she was afraid of being killed, but now that she was sure the Meng family wouldn't let her die easily, she could finally speak up.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ping was stunned, staring at Meng Yanzhi in disbelief: "How could this be? This is... this is... the medicine that Madam prescribed for you, she!"

Lu Ping had long known that Meng's mother was a biased person, but she never expected that she would frame her own daughter like this.

She took a deep breath, and when she looked at Meng Yanzhi, her eyes were full of heartache!

"Young Miss, you knew all along?"

"Um."

When Meng Yanzhi first learned about this, she was devastated, but now she can accept it calmly.

Seeing Meng Yanzhi's composed demeanor, Lu Ping felt even more sorry for her. Just how much injustice had she suffered to be like this?

"This servant will tell the Crown Prince!"

Lu Ping was furious and gritted her teeth as she turned to leave!

But Meng Yanzhi grabbed her hand: "Sister Lu, I know you mean well, but His Highness the Crown Prince is an outsider. He shouldn't interfere in the Meng family's private affairs. If he finds out about this, the Meng family will be implicated. I am still a daughter of the Meng family."

The Meng family is definitely going to fall, but not now.

Meng Yanzhi must find herself a good husband so that she can completely shatter all the glory of the Meng family.

Seeing Meng Yanzhi's expression, Lu Ping took a deep breath and then whispered, "Miss, what are your plans for the future?"

"I don't know, I just want to live a good life." Meng Yanzhi lowered her eyes and put on a pitiful look again.

Late at night, at the Crown Prince's residence.

Lu Ping knelt before Xiao Ce and recounted everything she had seen and heard at the Meng family these past few days, without hiding anything from Meng Yanzhi.

"Your Highness, Miss Meng is so pitiful. The Meng family is really going too far. They even dared to cheat in the imperial examinations. That Xu Shize is a complete fraud!" Lu Ping said, her face becoming even more ugly and gloomy.

Xiao Ce knew that there was something fishy about the Meng family, but he never expected that the fishy thing would be here.

"Do you know whose position Xu Shize replaced?" Xiao Ce frowned and looked at Lu Ping.

Lu Ping took a deep breath: "It was Zhang Xuanyun. He copied Zhang Xuanyun's test paper and also stole Zhang Xuanyun's grades."

Xiao Ce was stunned.

He finally realized that Meng Yanzhi had deliberately brought Zhang Xuanyun to him, and had been planning this all along, guiding him step by step to investigate the matter.

"This Meng Yanzhi looks weak and helpless, but in fact she is very scheming. Step by step, she even tricked me."

Xiao Ce curled the corners of his lips, showing no anger, only an acceptance of being outmatched in skill.

What... does this mean?

At first, Lu Ping didn't realize what it meant, but soon she understood and looked at Xiao Ce in disbelief.

"But what about her situation in the Meng family..."

"That's what makes her so amazing. Even though I've already said it, you still find it unbelievable, don't you?"

"She's the most patient hunter!"

Xiao Ce smiled slightly. There's a saying: The best hunters always appear in the form of prey.

Hearing this, Lu Ping breathed a sigh of relief: "If she is really as Your Highness says, it would be a good thing."

"Oh? You favor her a lot?" Xiao Ce looked at Lu Ping with some surprise.

Lu Ping is a proud and arrogant person who rarely takes a liking to anyone, but Meng Yanzhi is better at winning people over than she thought.

"Your Highness, this servant dares not." Lu Ping immediately knelt on the ground.

She was Xiao Ce's bodyguard, and could only serve Xiao Ce. How could she possibly be interested in someone else?

"Protect her well, and help her with whatever she needs to do."

Xiao Ce waved his hand, signaling Lu Ping to step back.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ce called Zhang Xuanyun over and gave him a question to answer right now.

Zhang Xuanyun was surprised when he saw the question, since he had seen it before during the imperial examination. However, Zhang Xuanyun did not hesitate and directly recited the article he had written during the exam.

He was very dissatisfied with his article, feeling that it shouldn't be considered rubbish, and he was also very unhappy with the results of the last scientific expedition.

The article was quickly finished, and after Xiao Ce read it, he had a general idea of ​​what it entailed.

Meng Yanzhi lay in bed but couldn't fall asleep. During this time, she had already subtly revealed quite a bit, but she didn't know if Lu Ping had understood what she meant or if she would tell Xiao Ce about it.

To bring down the Meng family and take revenge on Xu Shize, Xiao Ce's help is absolutely essential.

Suddenly, a slight noise came from the window. Immediately afterwards, Meng Yanzhi sat up abruptly, grabbed the scissors from under her pillow, and stabbed fiercely at the person who was walking towards her!

"It's me."

Xiao Ce's voice came from the darkness, but it did not make Meng Yanzhi feel relieved; instead, it made her even more nervous.

Meng Yanzhi took a deep breath and, by the moonlight, stared warily at Xiao Ce: "Your Highness? What brings you here?"

It's the middle of the night, and a man and a woman are alone in her room. If they were discovered, would she even be able to live?

"I have something to ask you." Xiao Ce tapped the scissors pressed against his neck: "Is this how you speak to me?"

Meng Yanzhi belatedly realized what was happening and quickly put away the scissors: "Your Highness, please forgive me, I did not mean to harm Your Highness!"
