Chapter 13 Nail Scratches
Meng Yanzhi's lips curled up slightly. She had known all along that her father didn't love anyone at all; he only loved himself, his family, and the ancestral hall!
He would do his best to contribute to the Meng family's prosperity, for in his eyes, family honor was above all else!
Because she saw through this, Meng Yanzhi now knows how to manipulate this person.
Meng Anxian clearly wanted to say something more, but her mother tugged at her sleeve.
"Alright, you sisters rarely have the chance to get together and have a good chat, so we, as your elders, won't disturb you any longer."
"Master, didn't you say you had something to discuss with Young Master Xu?"
Mencius' mother immediately passed a message to Mencius' father.
Meng's father realized what was happening and then smiled at Xu Shize: "I recently acquired a new painting, why don't we take a look at it together?"
"Yes." Xu Shize glared at Meng Yanzhi before leaving.
Meng Anxian almost immediately slapped Meng Yanzhi hard across the face.
"You lowly thing, you slut from some backwater village, how dare you seduce my Crown Prince brother!"
"Let me tell you, even if I smash you to pieces, you're no match for me!"
Meng Anxian gripped Meng Yanzhi's hair tightly, every word a warning.
The position of Crown Princess can only belong to Meng Anxian!
Anyone who dares to take her away from her will die!
"Sister, I didn't seduce His Highness the Crown Prince, I just... I just thanked him." Meng Yanzhi wailed, tears streaming down her face.
When Lu Huan heard the noise and rushed out, he was utterly dumbfounded by what he saw.
You know, Meng Anxian's public persona has always been gentle and quiet, but who would have thought that she could be so fierce and menacing?
Xu Yunrou finally realized that something was wrong, so she hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Meng Anxian's sleeve, and said, "Second cousin, please stop joking with your eldest cousin. Outsiders will think that you two sisters are fighting!"
Xu Yunrou emphasized the word "outsider".
Meng Anxian immediately realized what was going on, and in a sudden movement, she affectionately grabbed Meng Yanzhi's hand: "My sister and I have always been close. We just hang out and play around together. What's wrong?"
Meng Yanzhi had long known that Meng Anxian was all show and no substance, but Xu Yunrou was no good either. In her previous life, many things were instigated by Xu Yunrou to Meng Anxian.
If Meng Anxian is a tiger, then Xu Yunrou is its fangs!
She is the most dangerous one.
Meng Yanzhi smiled gently, then said, "Yes, my sister and I have always been close. Quickly tidy up this place, I want to have a good talk with my sister."
Why did this woman suddenly become so perceptive today?
Meng Anxian's expression changed. She felt that Meng Yanzhi seemed different from before, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.
But soon, Meng Anxian noticed something was wrong. When she looked down, she saw that her wrist had been scratched by Meng Yanzhi's fingernails.
Her expression changed: "Meng Yanzhi, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Meng Yanzhi immediately let go of her hand, then looked at her with a look of horror and said softly, "I'm so sorry, I'm really so sorry, I really didn't mean to, are you... are you alright?"
"You're alright!"
Meng Anxian screamed out loud.
At this moment, Xu Yunrou also came over and quickly used the handkerchief in her hand to press on Meng Anxian's almost invisible small wound.
"Big cousin, you were so careless! Second cousin's skin is so delicate, what if she gets a scar?"
"Yes, it's all my fault, little sister, I apologize to you."
Meng Yanzhi kept backing away, apologizing incessantly, looking utterly pathetic.
Lu Huan, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer and said directly, "It's just a small wound that can't even be seen clearly, so why are you so relentless? Miss Meng, sometimes you can't be too domineering, especially since my Crown Prince doesn't like domineering women like you at all!"
"Lu Huan!"
Meng Yanzhi let out a low growl filled with terror.
"Don't talk about your sister like that. She's not an overbearing person. She's just too protective of her skin."
"Yunrou, take your sister back quickly and find a doctor to take a good look at her."
Meng Yanzhi quickly took off the bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it into Xu Yunrou's hand.
It was a pure gold bracelet, so Xu Yunrou didn't say anything more and left with her people.
At this point, Lu Huan simply couldn't stand it anymore.
She looked at Meng Yanzhi with a helpless expression, feeling disappointed: "Miss, you have such a good temper! This second young lady is just looking for trouble!"
"Lu Huan, shut up!"
"How many times have I told you to watch your mouth? Why can't you listen? Are you trying to drive me crazy?!"
Lu Ping walked out hurriedly, her eyebrows tightly furrowed, and she started scolding her sister with her hands on her hips.
"Sister, I just can't stand them bullying people!" Lu Huan looked at Lu Ping angrily, then felt a little aggrieved.
A cowardly general makes a cowardly army. With Meng Yanzhi being so useless, they, as servants, are bound to suffer along with her!
Seeing Lu Huan like this, Lu Ping sighed helplessly, then turned around and pulled her away.
Are you stupid?
Lu Ping poked Lu Huan's head and spat in annoyance.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Ping said, "Not everyone in this world retaliates with a sharp edge. Although Miss is a bit timid, she is definitely not someone to be trifled with. Just watch."
"She's already so pathetic, isn't she just someone to be slaughtered?" Lu Huan really couldn't see what was so sophisticated about Meng Yanzhi's methods.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ping could only sigh helplessly. Although she couldn't figure out what Meng Yanzhi was up to, she felt that Meng Yanzhi was definitely not as weak as she appeared.
The inner room.
Mingchu, her eyes red with grievance, said softly, "Miss, Second Miss deliberately came to cause trouble today. His Highness the Crown Prince left without even taking a bite of food."
"It's alright, she'll pay the price for her mistakes." Meng Yanzhi smiled at herself in the mirror, then took off her earrings and looked at Ming Chu: "Just wait and see!"
Mingchu looked at Meng Yanzhi with some confusion, saying, "Miss, I don't understand."
"You're so smart, you'll understand eventually. Alright, I saved you a roast chicken, go eat it." Meng Yanzhi pinched Mingchu's little face and smiled gently.
