Chapter 6: A Country Bumpkin Faces Difficulties!

Almost everyone's eyes were fixed on Meng Yanzhi. Was this the country bumpkin they had been talking about?

You can't find many beauties like her even in the capital, can you?

The moment Meng Anxian saw Meng Yanzhi, her expression changed instantly, and she almost instinctively gritted her teeth and looked at Xu Yunrou.

Xu Yunrou, who was just feeling smug, didn't even dare to look up now. She just kept her head down and twisted the handkerchief in her hand tightly.

"elder sister!"

Meng Anxian quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly walked towards Meng Yanzhi.

She held Meng Yanzhi's hands affectionately, looking her up and down with eyes that seemed to be hooked!

That bitch's face is truly infuriating!

Meng Anxian was, after all, an imposter. Her appearance was no match for Meng Yanzhi. Back in the Meng family, she had always suppressed Meng Yanzhi, making her dress up like a rooster to cover up her true appearance. But now, this outfit really made her look stunning.

"Where did you get this outfit, sister? It's so beautiful!" Meng Anxian said through gritted teeth. Although she was praising Meng Yanzhi, she actually wished she could devour her alive.

Meng Yanzhi feigned shyness, blushing and lowering her head: "I'm from the countryside, how would I know anything about dressing up? I just wore this dress because it's a light color. It's nowhere near as good as the outfit my sister picked out for me."

Upon hearing this, Meng Anxian felt as if she had slapped a cotton ball.

She still had a relaxed expression on her face, but in fact, she had clenched her back teeth.

"Sister, you've never been to an event like this before. Come here, let me introduce you."

"This is Miss Lin, and this is Miss Liu. They are both from wealthy and noble families, so we should all get along well with them in the future."

Meng Anxian took Meng Yanzhi's hand and introduced her to her best friend.

However, these people had no good feelings towards Meng Yanzhi at all, so they looked at her with an indescribable scrutiny.

"I heard that Miss Meng came from the countryside, but I never expected her to be so beautiful?"

"Unfortunately, the girls in our capital value character the most, not looks at all. Your face is probably of little use."

Miss Liu snorted disdainfully, clearly looking down on Meng Yanzhi.

"What books has Miss Meng read?"

Miss Lin was relatively reserved, and simply raised an eyebrow at Meng Yanzhi.

Meng Yanzhi was very familiar with these people. In her previous life, they were like stray dogs, barking at her and saying unpleasant things every time they met, trying to ruin her reputation behind her back.

As a result, Meng Yanzhi became a laughing stock wherever she went, and her good reputation was ruined by these people.

Meng Yanzhi hadn't received much education in the countryside, but in her previous life, after marrying that man, she secretly learned some things and read a lot of classical texts in order to please her husband.

Her original intention was to please her husband, but in her previous life she was always ridiculed for being arrogant and ignorant.

“Miss Lin is joking. I’m just a country bumpkin. I’ve never been to school. I only know a few words.”

Meng Yanzhi lowered her head and murmured, her eyes slightly red.

When the Crown Prince arrived, he witnessed this scene: Meng Yanzhi was surrounded by a group of brightly dressed young girls. Among the glamorous crowd, Meng Yanzhi's elegant dress stood out like a crane among chickens, making her easily noticeable.

What are you doing?

The crown prince hurried over, frowning as he looked at the crowd.

He now knows most of what Meng Yanzhi did in the Meng family. He originally thought that a wealthy family like the Meng family wouldn't easily make things difficult for a young girl, but he never expected that people could be so wicked!

Even now, when the Crown Prince sees Meng Anxian, he feels inexplicably annoyed. After all, how could a truly kind person turn a blind eye to such a thing?

"Brother Crown Prince, you've arrived!"

Upon seeing the Crown Prince, Meng Anxian immediately displayed an innocent and adorable expression.

Immediately afterwards, she stepped forward, took the prince's arm, and looked at the others with a smile: "This is my sister, do you remember her?"

"Of course I remember, he was my savior."

The Crown Prince subtly withdrew his arm, his cold gaze sweeping over everyone. His meaning was clear: Meng Yanzhi was his savior, and if anyone wanted to insult her, they would have to see if he, as the Crown Prince, would allow it!

Although the Crown Prince's tone of voice didn't vary much when he spoke, for some reason, Meng Anxian felt that something was wrong with him, especially after she noticed that his gaze fell on Meng Yanzhi, and his expression became even more unpleasant.

"Brother Crown Prince, we were just joking with my sister."

"My sister has just returned to the capital, and many people don't know her yet, so we want to have a good talk with her."

After Meng Anxian finished speaking, she immediately grabbed Meng Yanzhi's hand and acted affectionately.

The Crown Prince seemed not to have heard what Meng Anxian was saying at all, and simply looked at Meng Yanzhi: "What were you talking about just now?"

"Your Highness, they didn't say much. It was just that the young ladies were asking me what books I had read." Meng Yanzhi lowered her eyes, her eyes were slightly red, and her voice was a little nasal.

It was obvious that she was wronged, but she stubbornly insisted on not letting others see her grievances. She looked like a little white flower swaying in the wind, which was heartbreaking.

The Crown Prince frowned slightly as he thought of Meng Yanzhi's rough hands. In front of everyone, he took Meng Yanzhi's hand and asked, "And what about you? How did you answer them?"

"I come from the countryside and have not received much education. I only know a few characters." Meng Yanzhi shyly withdrew her hand, like a frightened little rabbit, and spoke in a very low voice.

Because the two were very close, the prince could hear it clearly.

"Being able to recognize characters is already quite an achievement. If there's anything you don't know, you can learn it slowly in the future." The Crown Prince smiled at Meng Yanzhi, unconsciously softening his tone.

It's obvious that he's backing Meng Yanzhi up!

Meng Anxian's face was terribly gloomy, but she still smiled and came closer: "Yes, sister is already engaged to Scholar Xu. With such a learned husband, you can slowly learn from him in the future!"
