However, just as Mengyao's body collided with Han Luoxue, a dagger flew over and, with a soft thud, pierced into Mengyao's body.
Mengyao froze, slowly turning her head, only to see a tall figure standing twenty meters behind her, staring at her with indifferent eyes.
"father………"
She opened her mouth with difficulty, as if she wanted to say something, her eyes filled with grievance and resentment, but her body went limp and collapsed.
"That rebellious daughter!"
The man at the door strode in, his eyes coldly fixed on Mengyao, who lay on the ground, her life hanging in the balance.
Only then did everyone in the room come to their senses. Zhou Jie stepped forward, grabbed Han Luoxue's arm, and asked anxiously, "Xue'er, are you alright?"
She was terrified just now; she almost got bumped into by Mengyao.
Given the force Mengyao just exerted, Zhou Jie couldn't believe what would have happened if she had actually been hit.
Han Luoxue was also filled with lingering fear. Who would have thought that Mengyao had been arrested and, under the noses of so many people, she would still try to deal with her?
"Madam Han, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for failing to raise my daughter properly!"
General Meng stepped forward, cupped his hands in apology, and said apologetically.
Han Luoxue then looked him over. Was this Mengyao's father?
This was the first time she had seen General Meng. Who would have thought he was so ruthless?
When he made his move just now, he didn't hesitate for a second against his own daughter.
Han Luoxue recalled Mengyao calling out "Father" before she fainted. She probably never dreamed that it would be her father who stopped her in the end.
This General Meng is really something. He dares not go to the battlefield, but he shows no mercy to his own daughter.
Han Luoxue was not sympathizing with Mengyao, but she felt that she could not agree with this person's actions.
"How dare you say that!"
Before Han Luoxue could speak, Zhou Jie angrily said, "My little Xue'er has never offended her, but your daughter has been picking fights with her time and time again!"
Zhou Jie was speechless. How could there be such an unreasonable person in this world?
"You're saying that Xue'er and he don't have much interaction? Is she out of her mind? She just can't stand Xue'er all the time!"
"Xue'er is still pregnant, yet she's ruining other people's reputations! Does she think everyone in the world is like her, fickle and promiscuous?"
General Meng opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but suddenly realized that he couldn't refute anything.
To say that his daughter Mengyao isn't a fickle and promiscuous person? Well, who in the capital doesn't know that Mengyao married the Crown Prince, yet she still can't forget Prince Zhen?
They've lost all sense of shame, repeatedly going to confront people.
And the last time, that incident involved her and two men...
General Meng gritted his teeth and stared intently at Meng Yao on the ground.
Mengyao was lying there in a disheveled state, and it was unclear whether she was alive or dead.
"It's all my fault for not raising my daughter properly!"
General Meng said through gritted teeth, and Zhou Jie snorted coldly: "You know that's good!"
After saying that, he looked at the constables beside him and said, "What are you standing there for! Hurry up and drag him out. If he gets up again and hurts someone, can you take responsibility?"
The constables then realized that it was their mistake; none of them expected Mengyao to suddenly attack and try to hurt others!
The target was still the only pregnant woman present!
Do they dare to offend this woman?
Putting aside Zhou Jie, who was protecting her, she was the Crown Prince's cousin. The Lady Han before them was also someone even the Emperor knew.
Regardless of who his man is, such a person is not someone a lowly yamen runner like them would dare to offend.
Several people rushed forward, and one of them squatted down and put his hand to Mengyao's nose.
"It's okay, he's still breathing!"
The dagger that General Meng just threw is still stuck in Meng Yao's back. Judging from its location, it looks like it's near her heart, but it's probably off-center.
The dagger was completely embedded in the body; if it had actually pierced the heart, the person would have been dead long ago.
The two people grabbed Mengyao's arms on either side, and without caring whether he lived or died, they dragged him up.
As he watched his daughter being dragged away, General Meng's eyes flickered, but he said nothing.
"Yao Yao!"
A shrill scream rang out, and a woman stumbled and ran over.
With tears in her eyes and a sorrowful expression, she looked at her daughter, who was hanging her head and seemingly dead. She staggered forward, but a yamen runner stopped her.
"What happened to my daughter?"
Madam Meng asked tearfully, and the constable, with a hostile look in his eyes and an icy tone, replied, "Intentionally injuring someone!"
"No, that's impossible. My daughter is extremely timid. She wouldn't even hurt a chicken normally, how could she possibly hurt someone?"
The people in the room were all speechless. Thinking about how this woman, who couldn't even bear to hurt a chicken, had just looked so malicious and seemed to want to take everyone down with her, they found it inexplicably funny.
General Meng's lips twitched violently, and the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily. He turned around, took a few steps to the door, and shouted at the woman outside, "What nonsense are you making here! Go home!"
Upon seeing General Meng, a flicker of joy flashed in the woman's tear-filled eyes. She ran over in a few steps, knelt down in front of General Meng with a thud, and said urgently, "Master, please save our daughter!"
General Meng's brow twitched suddenly. This wife of his was usually the most sensible, but why was she so ungrateful today?
Doesn't she realize that she's right here? If Mengyao has any chance to save him, wouldn't he step in?
"You go back first!"
General Meng's voice grew even colder. At this moment, Madam Meng finally sensed something was wrong and raised her head in disbelief: "Master, you..."
"Then I'll go back and wait for you!"
In the end, he still didn't ask. Madam Meng's gaze swept over General Meng and also saw Han Luoxue and the others sitting in the room. Her eyes were cold, and she really couldn't say anything.
...
"This Mrs. Dream..."
After everyone left, the room returned to silence. Zhou Jie frowned, her face showing an unusual worry.
"It's alright, he won't do anything!"
Han Luoxue noticed Madam Meng's gaze as well. However, there was nothing she could do at that moment.
They just had a fierce look in their eyes, they didn't actually lay a hand on anyone, so we can't just arrest them for that, can we?
Besides, just now, Madam Meng was so angry, but because of General Meng's words, she still suppressed her anger and left.
Such a woman is extremely patient and restrained; she would never risk taking action for the smallest thing.
Unless you remove the last straw that breaks her back.
"But I still feel a little uneasy!"
It's probably because of what happened with Mengyao last time. Han Luoxue noticed someone was spying on her then, but she didn't take it seriously. That led to what happened later.
"Let's talk about it later, but this General Meng..."
