Chapter 65 Release Your Sister

Consort Wang sighed helplessly as she looked at her frightened appearance: "I can see that the Emperor treats you very differently. If you can enter the palace, it will fulfill the Emperor's wishes."

"This humble woman dares not." Meng Yanzhi knelt on the ground again, shaking her head repeatedly.

Given her current situation, becoming an imperial concubine is the only and best option for her. However, this is not something she can control. The most crucial point is that Xiao Xingyuan's current behavior doesn't seem to indicate that he wants her to enter the palace. So, for a moment, Meng Yanzhi didn't know what to do.

Left with no other choice, Consort Wang could only sigh helplessly: "Fine, the Meng family's matter will eventually come to a conclusion. You should go back now."

"Yes, this subject takes her leave!" Meng Yanzhi immediately stood up and hurriedly walked outside.

Watching Meng Yanzhi's retreating figure, Consort Wang burst out laughing and said, "This child is truly a fool."

After leaving the house, Meng Yanzhi seemed preoccupied. Zhao Bailu, seeing Meng Yanzhi like this, was puzzled: "What's wrong with you? What did my aunt say to you?"

"It's nothing, he just told me to go home." Meng Yanzhi smiled and looked at Zhao Bailu: "I can't agree to your brother's marriage, but I can't just say it directly either. Bailu, can you help me tell him?"

Zhao Bailu sighed, then said somewhat dejectedly, "I originally thought you would become my sister-in-law, but forced relationships don't work out. I just feel sorry for my brother; he's always been a bit stubborn!"

"I'm sorry." Meng Yanzhi lowered her head almost instinctively and apologized silently.

Zhao Bailu had only made a casual remark, but she never expected that Meng Yanzhi would apologize to her so earnestly.

She frowned, looked at Meng Yanzhi, and then said, "What did you do wrong? You have the right to refuse. Alright, alright, don't dwell on this. I'll talk to my brother!"

The car wobbled and came to a stop in front of the Meng family's house.

As she got out of the car, Meng Yanzhi took a deep breath. Meng Anfeng, seeing that Meng Yanzhi had returned safely by herself, was somewhat displeased: "Where's Xian'er?"

"I want to see Father." Meng Yanzhi had regained her usual indifference; she had nothing to say to the Meng family.

Without even glancing at Meng Anfeng, Meng Yanzhi walked past him and headed towards her father's study.

After entering, Meng Yanzhi said, "His Majesty said that if Meng Anxian is alright, then Father, you will be in trouble. So His Majesty told you to handle this yourself!"

"Meng Anfeng, you little bastard, you good-for-nothing!" Upon hearing this, Meng's father turned pale with anger, cursed viciously, grabbed the ruler beside him, and walked outside.

Meng Anfeng happened to walk in at that moment and was hit several times in the face. He was dumbfounded and looked at his father in disbelief.

"Dad, why did you hit me for no reason?"

"What are you talking about? This matter had already been suppressed, but you still dare to cause trouble like this. Are you trying to kill me and the entire Meng family?!"

"I'll say it one last time: Meng Anxian's situation is entirely her own fault. If anyone dares to utter another word about it, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Meng's father struck Meng Anfeng's body with the ruler again and again, while cursing viciously.

Upon hearing this, Meng Anfeng disregarded the fact that he was still being beaten and immediately said, "Father, how could you say such a thing? How could we treat Xian'er like this? She is my sister, your daughter!"

"She's not my daughter, nor your sister; she's a bastard of unknown origin!"

"Open your eyes and look carefully. This is your real sister, my biological daughter!"

In both her previous and current lives, this was the first time Meng's father had so firmly acknowledged Meng Yanzhi's identity. In her previous life, Meng Yanzhi had done everything she could to gain the Meng family's approval, but she had tried her whole life without success. Now that she had finally heard these words, Meng Yanzhi felt they were utterly worthless.

At this moment, Meng Anfeng immediately understood where the problem lay. His eyebrows furrowed tightly as he pointed at Meng Yanzhi and said fiercely, "It was you! It was you! You deliberately framed Xian'er, didn't you!"

Meng Yanzhi glanced at Meng Anfeng coldly, then said directly, "Father, I have done my best. I have also delivered the Emperor's message. I will go back now. I am tired and want to rest."

After saying that, Meng Yanzhi didn't even glance at Meng Anfeng before turning around and walking outside.

But Meng Anfeng grabbed Meng Yanzhi's wrist tightly: "How dare you! Stop right there! I'm telling you, this matter isn't over until Xian'er comes back. You must bring Xian'er back to me!"

"Meng Anfeng, let go of your sister!" Enraged, Meng's father slammed a ruler into his son's hand. "Can't you be a little more sensible? Can't you calm down?"

Meng Anfeng finally understood that, for the sake of the Meng family's future, his father had decided to give up on Meng Anxian.

His eyes were bloodshot as he knelt on the ground, crying out, "Father, are you really not going to care anymore! Do you not care whether Xian'er lives or dies?"

"She won't die."

"As long as she has a breath left, our Meng family will support her."

Meng's father finally sighed helplessly, and then stated his bottom line.

Meng Anfeng immediately fell silent, but Meng Yanzhi's lips were full of mockery.

She glanced at the hypocritical father and son, then strode towards her Qinghe Courtyard.

"Miss, are you alright? I was so worried about you not coming back for a whole day and night!"

"The young master didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Ming Chu looked at Meng Yanzhi with a face full of heartache.

"I'm fine, just very tired. I want to sleep." Meng Yanzhi took off her clothes, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep immediately.

Seeing her asleep, Mingchu immediately turned and left, looking at Lu Ping with some difficulty, and asked in a low voice, "Why do I feel that Miss is a little strange? She seems very sad?"

"Once Miss wakes up, everything will be clear, don't worry." Lu Ping patted Ming Chu's shoulder: "Miss is a strong person, she'll be fine, don't worry."

Meng Yanzhi said she was sleepy, but once she lay down, she couldn't fall asleep at all. She lay there with her eyes open, analyzing the current situation. Meng Anxian was definitely no longer a threat, but the Meng family was still safe and sound. Meng Yanzhi certainly wouldn't allow the Meng family to remain peaceful forever, but then there was Xiao Xingyuan's attitude…
