Chapter 53 Desire to Force Himself On
Meng Yanzhi withdrew her hand and looked coldly at Meng Anxian: "How can you be so sure that something will happen to me, or do you want something to happen to me!"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Shize walked over in a hurry.
Meng Anxian looked around and said, "There's no one here. Quick, drag them inside!"
"Yes!" Xu Shize immediately responded, looking at Meng Yanzhi with a hint of covetousness, and then reached out to grab her.
Meng Yanzhi nimbly dodged, gritting her teeth as she said, "How dare you! What are you doing in broad daylight!"
"Xu Shize, are you a piece of trash? You can't even handle a woman? Go for it!" Meng Anxian was getting impatient. She pushed Xu Shize and cursed through gritted teeth.
Xu Shize came from an ordinary family. If it weren't for the Meng family, he certainly wouldn't have gotten to where he is today. Therefore, Meng Anxian treated Xu Shize like a dog.
"Meng Yanzhi, don't struggle anymore. We are destined to be husband and wife. Don't worry, I will treat you well after you marry into the family!" Xu Shize sneered, and then rushed towards Meng Yanzhi again.
Meng Yanzhi knew that this was a dead end and that no one would come here easily, so she did not hesitate at all and jumped down!
"ah!"
Meng Anxian screamed in fright, never expecting Meng Yanzhi to be so impulsive.
"Oh no! Someone has fallen into the water!"
Meng Yanzhi leaped into the water, shattering the tranquility of the lake, and everyone looked down.
"Rouge? Meng Rouge!"
"Quick, save them!"
Zhao Bailu was terrified and almost instinctively tried to go down, but Zhao Dongzhi stopped her.
"Are you crazy? You can't even swim, what are you going to do down there?"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Dongzhi jumped down.
After a brief scream, Meng Anxian immediately reacted and looked at Xu Shize: "What are you still standing there for? Go down and save her! As long as you have physical intimacy with her in front of everyone, she will be your wife."
Xu Shize quickly stepped back, shaking his head helplessly as he looked at Meng Anxian: "Second Miss, I can't swim, I'll die if I go down!"
Since Meng Yanzhi dared to jump, it was naturally because she could swim.
From afar, Meng Yanzhi saw Zhao Dongzhi swimming towards her and immediately panicked.
If he saves me in front of everyone, then even if we have physical intimacy, I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to marry him.
Fearing that Zhao Dongzhi would catch her, Meng Yanzhi swam frantically toward the shore.
this……
Zhao Dongzhi quickly noticed Meng Yanzhi's desperate attempt to avoid him, and was taken aback. However, since he had already come down, he had no choice but to follow Meng Yanzhi and swim towards the shore.
When someone falls into the water, the boat naturally docks. So Zhao Bailu was waiting on the shore early on. When she saw Meng Yanzhi swimming over nimbly, she was dumbfounded: "You...you can swim?"
"Hmm." Meng Yanzhi's body was half submerged in the water. She was dressed lightly today, and if she came out now, her curves would be on full display.
Xiao Ce immediately noticed Meng Yanzhi's embarrassment, hurriedly took off his outer robe, and beckoned to Meng Yanzhi: "Come here."
Meng Yanzhi immediately understood and hurriedly swam towards Xiao Ce. After climbing ashore, Xiao Ce immediately wrapped his outer robe around her.
"How did you fall?" Xiao Ce frowned and looked at Meng Yanzhi.
Zhang Xuanyun also looked at Meng Yanzhi with a face full of concern.
"Miss Meng, are you alright?"
Zhang Xuanyun took out a handkerchief and handed it to Meng Yanzhi.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, I'm fine."
"I didn't fall; I was forced to jump."
Upon hearing these words, Meng Yanzhi trembled and tears streamed down her face.
She gripped Xiao Ce's arm tightly, struggled to her feet, and pointed at Meng Anxian and Xu Shize who had rushed over.
"It was them! They cornered me at the hatch and tried to force themselves on me. I had no choice but to jump into the lake to save myself!"
As she spoke, Meng Yanzhi knelt on the ground in front of everyone, looking pitifully at Xiao Ce: "Please, Your Highness, do me justice!"
"Insolence!" Xiao Ce shouted angrily, his eyes turning to Xu Shize: "How dare you do such a reckless thing in broad daylight? You're courting death!"
Xu Shize quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, please investigate! I didn't, I really didn't! I saw the young lady jump from afar and immediately called for help. How could I dare..."
"Would she use her own innocence to frame you?"
Xiao Ce stared intently at Xu Shize with a cold expression.
"Guards, take Xu Shize back to the Crown Prince's dungeon!"
With a single command, Xiao Ce sealed Xu Shize's fate, without even giving Meng Anxian a second glance.
When Mencius' parents received the news, they rushed over. Upon seeing this scene, Mencius' father's expression changed, and he looked at Mencius' mother with a questioning look in his eyes.
Meng Anxian immediately stepped forward, grabbed Meng Yanzhi's hand, and acted out their sisterly affection: "Sister, you scared me to death! How did you suddenly fall down? I was so worried."
"Don't worry, I'm not going to die."
Meng Yanzhi silently withdrew her hand and looked coldly at Meng Anxian.
Then, she looked at Xiao Ce beside her and bowed respectfully: "I only ask that Your Highness investigate the truth and clear my name!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely not wrong you." Xiao Ce agreed immediately. Now, it was all settled; even if Meng's father wanted to handle this matter, it would be impossible.
Xu Shize had already been lifted up by Shui Shan and thrown directly into the prince's carriage.
Meng Anxian grew anxious, grabbed Meng Yanzhi's hand, looked at Xiao Ce, and said, "It's just a misunderstanding, Your Highness, why make such a fuss?"
"Sister, you too, His Highness the Crown Prince is so busy with affairs of state, why bother him with such trivial matters?" Meng Anxian said through gritted teeth, every word a warning.
In her previous life, Meng Yanzhi would have readily agreed to everything she asked for, but now…
Meng Yanzhi coldly withdrew her hand: "He tried to ruin my reputation in broad daylight and to destroy the reputation of my Meng family. How can this be a small matter? Sister, you are still young and have no idea how important a woman's reputation is."
"You!" Meng Anxian never expected that Meng Yanzhi would use such a grand principle to shut her up.
Meng's mother grabbed Meng Anxian's hand and said with a smile, "Alright, Anxian, His Highness the Crown Prince is wise and will surely give justice. Don't worry about it. Hurry up and go with your sister to the carriage to change her clothes."
"Mother, I just feel sorry for my sister." Meng Anxian immediately understood what her mother meant. With tears in her eyes, she pulled Meng Yanzhi toward the carriage.
