Chapter 17 Ming Chu Strongly Supports the Eldest Miss
Meng Yanzhi remained calm, but there was a hint of certainty in her eyes: "It's true."
Very good!
Ming Chu was overjoyed. Although outsiders thought Meng Yanzhi was lucky to be adopted by the Meng family, everyone in the Meng family knew that Meng Yanzhi was the real eldest daughter of the Meng family, and Meng Anxian was just an imposter. It was only because the master and mistress of the family favored the second daughter that the eldest daughter was wronged in every way.
At first, Mingchu was also very unconvinced and angry at Meng Yanzhi for not fighting back. These things originally belonged to the young lady. Now that Meng Yanzhi was finally going to fight for herself, Mingchu felt like her day had finally dawned!
"Young Miss, shouldn't we hurry up and snatch back the husband who rightfully belongs to you?"
Mingchu was just a young girl after all, and all she could think about was marrying into a good family, leaving the Meng family, and living a good life.
However, Meng Yanzhi's rebirth was not for the purpose of obediently getting married. She knew very well that Crown Prince Xiao Ce was not a good match. If Xu Shize was a big bad wolf, then Xiao Ce was a venomous snake hiding in the grass, even more secretive and more dangerous.
Besides, the Meng family treated her so badly in her previous life, causing her to suffer a terrible death. Now that she's back in this life, she vows to take revenge!
Meng Yanzhi couldn't tell Mingchu any of these things; she had to keep all these plans to herself.
Meng Yanzhi took Mingchu's hand and said with a smile, "Silly girl, you can't rely on men. We still have to rely on ourselves, you know?"
Mingchu knew this, but he didn't know it either.
However, Ming Chu was never a girl who liked to think things through carefully; she just did whatever Meng Yanzhi said.
"Miss, what should we do next?"
Mingchu looked at Meng Yanzhi with some curiosity.
Eat when you're hungry, drink when you're thirsty.
"This delicious food and drink is hard-earned, so we should cherish it."
Meng Yanzhi smiled as she looked at Ming Chu, then picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, squinted her eyes, and took a bite.
Upon hearing this, Mingchu nodded in agreement, then took a pastry from the side and handed it to Meng Yanzhi, watching her eat with a smile.
"You eat too."
Meng Yanzhi took the initiative to pick up a piece and hand it to her.
But Mingchu shook her head: "I'm happy just watching Miss eat!"
"Eat up." Meng Yanzhi smiled, then stuffed the pastry into her mouth and said, "From now on, I will never let you suffer again."
Upon hearing this, Mingchu was deeply moved. Her eyes reddened, and she knelt down to hug Meng Yanzhi's waist, whispering, "Miss, you are so good to me. I want to stay with you forever!"
That silly girl.
Meng Yanzhi knew very well that in her previous life, Ming Chu had indeed been with her all the time, but he never had a single good day and died in such a miserable way, which was truly pitiful.
For three to five days in a row, Meng Anxian stayed in her courtyard and did not go out. However, the scars on her face showed no signs of healing and even seemed to be getting worse!
"ah!"
Meng Anxian looked at herself in the mirror, screamed loudly, and then smashed the bronze mirror hard.
She glared at her maid, Dongzao, through gritted teeth: "Why? Why is it still not getting better after so many days of treatment!"
"Please calm down, Miss!"
"That's right, that's right, second cousin, please don't get too excited."
Xu Yunrou also brought a lot of medicine to the door at this time. She looked at Meng Anxian, who looked like a toad, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
But she still bit her lower lip tightly, suppressing her laughter.
"What are you doing here? Who gave you permission to come here!"
"Get out! All of you, get out!"
"Quickly call my mother!"
Upon seeing Xu Yunrou, Meng Anxian continued her madness, grabbing a teacup and smashing it against her.
When Mencius' mother heard about this, she immediately came over.
"What's wrong? What's going on? Why are you suddenly angry again?"
Meng's mother looked at Meng Anxian with some confusion. She didn't know what was wrong with this girl lately; she always seemed to lose her temper for no reason.
Looking at the bumps on her face, Meng's mother felt nauseous, and then said helplessly, "I know you're unhappy about this, but the doctor already said that with more medicine, it will get better."
"When will things get better?!"
"Mother, tomorrow is the palace's flower-viewing banquet. How can I enter the palace and see my Crown Prince brother in this state!"
Meng Anxian looked at her mother with longing eyes, heartbroken.
Hearing this, Meng's mother sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, don't worry about these things. I'll go by myself."
"You're going alone?"
"The palace specifically requested that a daughter from the Meng family also go, but I cannot go. What should we do about this?"
Meng Anxian sat on a chair to the side with a bitter face.
"The Meng family also has Meng Yanzhi as a daughter."
"If you can't go, then let her go."
Mencius' mother sighed helplessly; this was only a temporary measure.
The result was that this so-called expedient measure completely broke Meng Anxian's defenses!
"Mother, what do you mean by that? Do you want Meng Yanzhi to show off and meet the Crown Prince?"
"Second cousin, don't get too excited. Eldest cousin is just a country girl. Even if she went to the palace, I'm afraid she would have a hard time standing out. It would be good enough if she didn't embarrass herself."
Xu Yunrou gave Meng Anxian a reassuring look.
Meng Anxian clenched her fists tightly, immediately understanding Xu Yunrou's meaning, but she was still very unwilling.
She clenched her fists and said viciously, "It's her fault, it's all Meng Yanzhi's fault! That bitch!"
Meng's mother looked at Meng Anxian with some helplessness, and then said, "You really need to work on your temper. You get so easily agitated. What will you do if you really marry into the Crown Prince's household?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Anxian indeed calmed down.
"I've thought about this carefully over the past few days. You know far too little about the rules of the palace, so I must ask the Empress to give you a tutor to teach you properly." Mother Meng looked at Meng Anxian with some helplessness: "Xian'er, you will be the Crown Princess and the Empress in the future, do you understand?"
Although Meng Anxian disliked learning manners the most, she knew very well that her mother's words made perfect sense. She immediately nodded obediently, "Yes, Mother, I knew you loved me the most, and I knew you were doing it all for my own good!"
"I knew it, you're the most sensible child." Mother Meng nodded gently, reached out and took a handkerchief to gently wipe away her tears: "Alright, don't cry anymore, look, your face is all messed up."
