Chapter 548: She is greedy for my face and body
Meng Chifei is very strong.
Ying Zhilin seemed so weak in front of her.
He was pushed and staggered, and had to hold on to the carriage to keep his balance.
Meng Chifei gave Wen Yan a big hug: "Yan Yan, I haven't seen you for a few days. I missed you so much!"
She rubbed her face against Wen Yan's and then spun around in circles with her.
After only two turns, Wen Yan felt dizzy and her stomach was churning.
She quickly patted Meng Chifei's arm: "Sister... Sister, please stop. You shook me so hard that I fainted! I want to vomit."
Only then did Meng Chifei stop.
When Wen Yan staggered and couldn't stand steadily, Ying Zhilin quickly took her into his arms.
He said to Meng Chifei helplessly: "Can't you be a little gentler?"
The tall Meng Chifei, like a child who had done something wrong, lowered his head and twisted his fingers: "I will pay attention next time."
Wen Yanxiu punched Ying Zhilin lightly and said, "You are not allowed to be mean to Sister Chi Fei."
Meng Chifei made a face at Ying Zhilin with a beaming expression, then pulled Wen Yan to see his mother.
Ying Zhilin: “…”
He kept telling himself in his heart: Don't be angry.
Meng Chifei is Yanyan's sister.
I am Yanyan’s husband.
Yanyan should pamper her sister, so she should just love her sister as well!
He recited the formula three times silently before he recovered.
Meng Xiyan appeared beside Ying Zhilin at some point, sighed, and said helplessly, "It's girls' friendship. We men shouldn't force it. We'll be the only ones who get hurt!"
Ying Zhilin: “…”
The Meng family is having a gathering among relatives today.
The men and women guests were not separated, all gathered in the hall, chatting about family matters. The atmosphere was particularly warm.
People of the same generation pulled Ning Tan aside and joked with him, making his face turn red.
Meng Xiyan was so anxious that he came over from time to time to protect the person and was fined several glasses of wine.
By the end of the dinner, Meng Xiyan was already drunk and a little confused, but he was still thinking about protecting his wife-to-be.
He picked a chair and sat down, then patted the empty seat next to him and said, "Tan'er, come and sit here. They won't dare to mess with you when I'm here."
Meng Chifei was speechless for a while, "You reek of alcohol, don't let it bother my sister-in-law, you should go back to your room and lie down."
She carried Meng Xiyan to the backyard, threw him casually on the bed, pinched his jaw open and stuffed two hangover pills into his mouth, then lit the stove and left him alone.
Ning Tan was worried about him, but since they were not married yet, it was not easy for her to stay and take care of him, so she had to leave, looking back every few steps.
Wen Yan sat for a while before a servant came to invite him: "The general and his wife would like you to come over."
"I understand." Wen Yan agreed, turned around and said to Ying Zhilin, "Wait here for a moment, I'll be back soon."
Wen Yan stood up and said to the servant, "Please lead the way."
The servant hesitated for a moment, "Miss Wen Yan, the general and his wife ask you two to come together."
Wen Yan turned around and looked at Ying Zhilin: "Are you willing?"
Ying Zhilin stood up and said with a smile, "Of course."
The two followed the servants all the way to the study in the general's mansion.
There were a few guests in the room, and the aroma of tea was wafting in the air.
Wen Yan and his wife greeted each other first and sat down on a chair beside them.
After a while, the guests said goodbye and left.
Madam Bai waved towards Wen Yan, "Yan'er, come quickly and sit next to your stepmother."
Wen Yan gave Ying Zhilin a wink, and the two of them walked over.
General Meng stood up and bowed to Wen Yan, "Wen Yan, thank you for asking for the Hexiang Pills, which saved my life.
I will always remember your life-saving grace. If you need any help in the future, just tell me."
Looking closely now, General Meng is indeed in good health, speaks with full energy and has a rosy complexion.
Wen Yan was finally relieved.
At this time last year, his body had been hollowed out by the poison and he suffered physical torture every day.
Meng Xiyan was also injured and broke his hands and feet, and was depressed at home.
Wen Yan was very happy and relieved to see that the Meng family had completely escaped the ending of their previous life.
Wen Yan quickly responded, "General, you are too kind.
You are my stepmother's husband. Helping you is helping my stepmother.
Besides, the General’s Mansion has sheltered me for many years, which is why I can live in peace.
I should be grateful and repay the favor."
Wen Yan suddenly thought of something and burst out laughing. "The General's Mansion is my biggest supporter. I want to rely on you guys forever. This is also for my own benefit!"
Mrs. Bai was amused by her and tapped her forehead lightly: "You! Always so considerate. We are clearly indebted to you, yet you refuse to let us have any burden."
Wen Yan smiled sweetly, hugged Madam Bai's arm and acted coquettishly: "As expected, my stepmother knows me best."
Then Wen Yan introduced Ying Zhilin to the two of them.
General Meng stroked his beard and said seriously, "I heard that you passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer?
Entered the Hanlin Academy, but was then demoted to the Dali Temple?
Do you want me to speak a few good words for you in front of His Majesty and have you reinstated as a Hanlin scholar?"
General Meng's words were meant to show goodwill for Wen Yan's sake, but also to test his character.
"I am indeed working at the Dali Temple now, but there is no need to flatter me." Ying Zhilin glanced at Wen Yan and said seriously, "Although my current position is relatively low, I will work hard to get promoted based on my own abilities.
However, if I were to encounter something I couldn't resolve on my own, I would shamelessly ask the General for help."
General Meng stroked his beard, nodded, and then started talking about other things.
At this time, Meng Chifei's maid came over and said, "Miss, please ask Miss Wen Yan to come over."
Mrs. Bai waved her hand: "Go ahead."
Wen Yan looked at Ying Zhilin and said, "Then I'll find you a place to stay. I'll stay for half an hour and then come pick you up and take you home."
General Meng waved his hand and said, "Go and have fun. Let Xiaoying play chess with me for a while."
Wen Yan looked at Ying Zhilin: "Can you?"
Ying Zhilin realized that General Meng wanted to keep him because he had something to say, so he nodded to Wen Yan.
"Then I'll go first." Wen Yan lifted her skirt and strode away.
There were only three people left in the room.
General Meng then said, “You should know that we treat Wen Yan as our own daughter.
Your marriage was hasty, and by the time we found out, you were already married.
We thought that since we were already married, we should live a good life.
But I heard that you got divorced?
Since you've divorced, why do you still want to live together?"
Ying Zhilin sighed.
He suddenly lifted his robe and knelt before the two elders: "Mother, General Meng, please help me persuade Wen Yan to remarry me."
General Meng: “…”
Madam Bai: “…”
Ying Zhilin continued, "To be honest, Wen Yan and I signed the agreement and divorce papers on the day we got married. We never thought about it lasting long-term at the beginning.
But as we got along, I fell in love with Yanyan unknowingly.
I tried my best to please her, but she only cared about my face and body.
After I passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer, she took advantage of my drunkenness and raped me.
She took advantage of me but didn't want to take responsibility. I didn't want to see her in trouble, so I had to take the divorce papers to the government office to get a clear way out.
I don't want to be separated from her. Fortunately, I still have this face and this body that she can't let go of. I can rely on my beauty to stay with her.
Now that the general and his wife know about this, can you persuade her to remarry me?"
