Chapter 80 The Meng Sisters' Feud

After a brief moment of excitement, Xiao Ce realized he shouldn't be so happy. He looked at Meng Yanzhi somewhat embarrassed and said, "That's not what I meant."

Meng Yanzhi smiled gently but did not speak.

Politics is inherently devoid of emotion and even disrespectful of life. The struggles among those in power inevitably involve countless innocent subordinates. One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

Seeing Meng Yanzhi's gentle demeanor, Xiao Ce's mood gradually calmed down. He looked at Meng Yanzhi and said, "There's nothing here on the estate. Why don't you come back with me?"

"I appreciate Your Highness's kindness, but it's not appropriate for a man and woman to live together alone, and I don't want to give the Meng family any leverage against me."

"Your Highness, rest assured, I will have everything I need soon."

Meng Yanzhi looked at Xiao Ce with her eyes crinkled, full of confidence.

Xiao Ce asked curiously, "Why?"

"Because of Your Highness!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Anxian's cheerful voice rang out.

"Sister! I miss you so much! Sister, what a wonderful life you've been living on this estate! I've come to keep you company!"

Meng Anxian walked over quickly, took Meng Yanzhi's hand affectionately, and looked at her with a smile.

If everyone didn't know that the two didn't get along, they would probably really think that Meng Anxian really loved and depended on this older sister, right?

Meng Yanzhi smiled slightly at Meng Anxian's expression, then silently withdrew her hand and said coldly, "Why are you here?"

"I've come to keep my sister company!" Meng Anxian said with a smile to Meng Yanzhi.

Immediately afterward, as if she had just seen Xiao Ce, Meng Anxian knelt down and bowed respectfully: "This humble woman greets Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Looking at her affected manner, Xiao Ce now only felt disgust. Before, he thought Meng Anxian was well-educated, the most talented woman in the capital, gentle and virtuous, and would definitely be a good candidate for the Crown Princess.

However, to everyone's surprise, the Meng family outwardly complied but inwardly defied the rules, actually forcing a fake woman to be his Crown Princess. On the surface, they supported the Crown Prince's residence, but in reality, they had already sided with the Jade King!

This whole family is shameless and despicable; they all deserve to be torn to pieces!

Xiao Ce didn't even glance at Meng Anxian, but walked past her to Meng Yanzhi's side: "You rest well, I'll go back first."

"Respectfully seeing off Your Highness."

Meng Yanzhi blinked, and then directly saw Xiao Ce off.

After confirming that Xiao Ce had left, Meng Anxian immediately turned hostile and slapped Meng Yanzhi hard across the face: "Have you no shame?!"

Without any hesitation, Meng Yanzhi retaliated, grabbed Meng Anxian's hair, and pressed her down next to Ming Chu.

"Watch!"

Although Mingchu is much better now, the wounds on his body are still clearly visible and shocking.

Meng Anxian, a vicious person, would certainly not be frightened by these wounds, but such close contact still made her face turn pale with fright.

"No, no! What are you going to do? Meng Yanzhi, let me tell you, if you dare to mistreat me, my brother, father, and mother will not let you get away with it!"

Meng Anxian said these words almost subconsciously.

It was this subconscious thought that deeply stung Meng Yanzhi, leaving her feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Even though things have turned out this way, Meng Anxian can still rely on the Meng family as her support. This is the confidence that the Meng family gives her, and the pride that her parents raised in her.

Seeing Meng Anxian's self-righteous attitude, Meng Yanzhi laughed, patted her cheek, and said, "But Father, Mother, and Brother aren't here. If I really killed you, do you think they would kill me because of you?"

"I'm really curious!" After saying that, Meng Yanzhi grabbed Meng Anxian's hair and threw her into the pond without any hesitation.

Meng Anxian truly hadn't expected Meng Yanzhi to be so presumptuous and so unscrupulous.

She struggled in the water, screaming, "Help! Help me!"

"Meng Yanzhi, you vicious woman, you just wait!" Meng Anxian kept shouting.

Seeing that she was gradually falling silent, Meng Yanzhi finally took pity on her and handed her a bamboo pole.

To show that she was there to see Meng Yanzhi, Meng Anxian came alone. She originally wanted to get close to Xiao Ce and see if she could make things happen, but she never expected that this would be the result!

She grabbed a bamboo pole, climbed to the bank, and coughed incessantly: "Go home, I want to go home, you vicious devil!"

"You think this is malicious?"

"Mingchu, go and tell the Second Miss what true wickedness is."

Meng Yanzhi suddenly smiled and handed the bamboo pole in her hand to Mingchu.

In the past, Ming Chu would never have dared to do anything to Meng Anxian, but she had just been tortured to death by Meng Anxian, and now when she saw Meng Anxian, her eyes were filled with hatred!

In the early Ming Dynasty, they clung tightly to the bamboo pole and began to beat the drowning dog mercilessly!

"Ha ha!"

Meng Yanzhi suddenly burst out laughing. Meng Anxian, who was fleeing in a disheveled state on the ground, looked utterly ridiculous.

"Meng Yanzhi!"

Meng Anfeng screamed, then he ran over quickly, grabbed Meng Anxian from the ground and hid her behind his back, and shoved Meng Yanzhi aside.

"This is our little sister! What are you doing? Are you crazy?!"

"Meng Yanzhi, how could there be such a vicious woman as you in this world!"

Meng Anfeng stared intently at Meng Yanzhi, even though he knew he couldn't do anything to her right now, he simply couldn't help himself.

Meng Yanzhi casually clapped her hands and said indifferently, "Our sister? She's only your sister. To me, she's nothing more than a wretched woman who has usurped my place!"

"Shut up!"

"Your parents have always said that you are all daughters of the Meng family. Why do you have to be so aggressive? Why can't you tolerate Xian'er!"

Meng Anfeng looked at Meng Yanzhi with a puzzled expression, full of confusion.

What are you doing here?

Meng Yanzhi didn't want to waste words with them, and asked again with a very gloomy expression.

"Brother, save me! She's going to kill me!"

Meng Anxian finally calmed down at this moment, and held Meng Anfeng's hand tightly, looking at him with longing eyes.

"Meng Yanzhi, apologize! Apologize to Xian'er!"

Meng Anfeng stepped forward, clenched his fists, and stared intently at Meng Yanzhi.

"Don't think that just because your parents aren't doing anything to you now, no one will dare to discipline you!"

Meng Yanzhi took a step back and looked at Lu Ping expectantly.
