Chapter 155 Ling Xiao is Jealous
When Meng Yanzhi was in this family before, she was always careful in everything she did, and she had never been so cold and stern before.
For a moment, even Granny Liu found it hard to believe that this was actually Meng Yanzhi.
Meng Yanzhi left without a word, leaving Granny Liu standing there somewhat bewildered. She really didn't know how to explain things to Meng's mother when she got back, and in the end, she could only slump her shoulders helplessly and silently walk into Mu Cang Courtyard.
"You still know how to come back? Anyone who didn't know better would think that Chen Shi is your real mother!"
Hearing footsteps, Mencius' mother slammed her hand on the table.
However, only Granny Liu actually walked in.
Granny Liu stood there, unsure of how to begin.
What's going on?
When Meng's mother saw that Liu Mama had returned alone, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and she asked unhappily, "Where is that wretched girl?"
"The young lady said that there are too many errands to run in the palace, so she won't come to pay her respects to the madam." Granny Liu had no other choice but to tell the truth.
In this situation, whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll get stabbed anyway!
Upon hearing this, Meng's mother was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to suddenly realize something. Her expression immediately changed, her fists clenched, and she said through gritted teeth, "How dare you! What does this brat mean? Does she really think I dare not do anything to her? Where is she? Bring her here! I'm going to teach her a lesson today!"
"The young lady has already left," Granny Liu said softly, taking a step back.
At this point, Mencius' mother exploded and smashed the teacup in her hand.
"Great, great, excellent!"
"If she won't come to see me, I'll go to see her!"
"I've sent a petition to the palace; I request an audience with the Imperial Concubine!"
Mencius' mother was so angry that she even lost her composure.
All she wanted to do right now was teach Meng Yanzhi a lesson; she couldn't care less about anything else.
After leaving the Meng family, Meng Yanzhi eventually ended up at the Zhang family.
When Zhang Xuanyun saw Meng Yanzhi enter, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Why are you here?"
“I asked for leave to leave the palace, but the Meng family doesn’t like me. I have nowhere to go, so I can only trouble you, sir.”
"Sir, look at this!"
Meng Yanzhi brought in a small bundle, which, when opened, was filled with glittering gold ingots.
"This...this is?" Zhang Xuanyun was startled when he suddenly saw the gold ingots. "Where did these come from?"
"They were gifts from noble people in the palace; they were all legitimate and clean money."
“Sir, I know you come from a poor family, so I believe you, like me, sympathize with children who can’t afford to go to school. I saw you caring for them when you were in the dilapidated temple. Here, take this and give it to them. Buy them writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, and open a proper school.”
Meng Yanzhi looked at Zhang Xuanyun with a smile, making her meaning clear.
this……
Zhang Xuanyun originally thought that Meng Yanzhi had something important to do with so much money, but he never expected that it would be for this matter.
He looked at the gold ingots, met Meng Yanzhi's bright eyes, and felt a mix of emotions.
Zhang Xuanyun really didn't expect that such a young woman could think of these things.
He felt only moved!
"Miss Meng, on behalf of those children, thank you!"
Zhang Xuanyun immediately stood up and gave a proper bow.
Meng Yanzhi didn't stand on ceremony with Zhang Xuanyun. After helping him up, she said with a smile, "When the youth are strong, the nation is strong. These children will surely achieve great things in the future!"
"Rouge, you... are really outstanding." Zhang Xuanyun thought for a moment, blushed, and praised her.
Meng Yanzhi truly didn't expect that after all her efforts, all she would get in return was this one sentence.
For a moment, Meng Yanzhi was both amused and exasperated. She looked at Zhang Xuanyun and said, "Sir, I'm so outstanding, would you like to have dinner with me?"
"What do you want to eat?" Zhang Xuanyun smiled, his expression unconsciously carrying a hint of indescribable doting affection.
Meng Yanzhi really thought about it seriously, and then took Zhang Xuanyun directly to the largest restaurant in the capital—Fanhualou.
"Sir, do you have any money with you?"
Meng Yanzhi winked at Zhang Xuanyun playfully.
Zhang Xuanyun subconsciously touched his purse, then nodded: "I brought it, take whatever you like!"
"Yes!" Meng Yanzhi immediately agreed and then began ordering food.
She came out today to try the food at Fan Hua Lou and hopefully learn how to improve it herself.
Ling Xiao originally brought Xiao Yue here to eat and drink, but he never expected to hear Meng Yanzhi's voice.
Before Ling Xiao could react, Xiao Yue walked straight towards the next private room: "Sister? Sister Meng, is it really you?"
"Xiaoyue? What are you doing here?" Meng Yanzhi smiled gently when she saw Xiaoyue, waved to her, and looked at Zhang Xuanyun: "Sir, this is Ling Xiao's younger sister, Xiaoyue!"
"Xiaoyue greets Mr. Zhang." Meng Yanzhi smiled and touched Xiaoyue's cheek.
Ling Xiao walked in at this moment and saw Meng Yanzhi and Zhang Xuanyun sitting alone eating together. His eyes were a little strange. He looked at Zhang Xuanyun and asked, "Lord Zhang, what brings you to eat here? Have the accounts from the south been sorted out yet?"
Meng Yanzhi's eyebrows furrowed tightly as she looked at Ling Xiao with some displeasure: "Imperial Preceptor, we're eating. Why are you saying this?"
"You too, why aren't you in the palace?" Ling Xiao snorted and looked at Meng Yanzhi.
Meng Yanzhi smiled, then stood up and said, "I'm afraid my presence here has nothing to do with the Imperial Preceptor, does it?"
As she spoke, Meng Yanzhi quickly pushed Xiaoyue to Ling Xiao and pointed to the door: "Excuse me, we're about to start eating."
"Brother!" Xiaoyue noticed that Meng Yanzhi didn't seem to like Ling Xiao, and her eyebrows were furrowed as she looked at Ling Xiao with dissatisfaction.
Why is my brother so stupid? He always makes Sister Meng unhappy.
Ling Xiao hadn't expected Meng Yanzhi to be so disrespectful, directly ordering him to leave.
Zhang Xuanyun glanced at Meng Yanzhi: "Miss Meng, please don't do this. You should treat her with courtesy."
"Imperial Preceptor, please leave. We're about to eat." Meng Yanzhi immediately understood, bowed respectfully, and smiled slightly at Ling Xiao.
The atmosphere in the room became even more awkward. Ling Xiao was so angry that he grabbed Xiao Yue's hand and turned to leave.
Zhang Xuanyun looked at Meng Yanzhi with a helpless expression: "What did he do to offend you?"
