Chapter 10 The Four Lu Sisters' Hearts Return Home
"That bitch Meng Yanzhi thinks she's dreaming. She'll get what's coming to her after she gets married!"
Meng Anxian snorted disdainfully, then spat out a final, fierce spit before turning back to her Lingxi Courtyard!
The moment Meng Yanzhi stepped into Qinghe Courtyard, she understood that her mother had truly invested heavily this time.
It's a pity that she had never even heard of Qinghe Courtyard in her previous life. After all, her activities were always confined to the kitchen and laundry room. How could she have the right to walk around the front yard?
"Rouge, do you like this courtyard?"
Suppressing her anger, Meng's mother asked.
She seemed to be asking Meng Yanzhi a question, but in fact she was only speaking to the four Lu sisters behind her.
With red eyes, Meng Yanzhi cautiously asked, "Mother, I live alone. Isn't it too extravagant for me to live in such a large courtyard?"
"Young Miss is being far too cautious. It's just a barely habitable courtyard; there's nothing special about it!"
Upon hearing this, Meng's mother's face darkened even further. However, since Lu Huan was a member of the Crown Prince's household, not only was the indenture not in her possession, but she also didn't distribute the monthly allowance. She had absolutely no power to control this little girl.
Lu Ping knew that haste makes waste, so she looked at Lu Huan with some displeasure and scolded him in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense in front of Madam!"
"Madam, my younger sister has always been tactless in her speech. Please forgive her for any offense she may have caused!" Lu Ping was always meticulous in her actions and words.
No matter how outrageous Lu Huan was, it was not Meng's mother's place to get angry.
Knowing she wouldn't get anywhere here, Meng's mother could only awkwardly twitch the corners of her mouth before smiling and saying, "Alright, alright, it's all just small stuff. If Rouge needs anything, just come to your mother, okay?"
"Isn't it obvious what's missing? Our young lady doesn't even have clothes or jewelry. Look at her, all dressed so plainly, it's heartbreaking to see." Lu Huan's words always managed to pierce through Meng Mu's mask with perfect precision.
Meng's mother took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and finally agreed to send Meng Yanzhi clothes and jewelry. She also sent a lot of the most fashionable fabrics of the time, filling the entire Qinghe Courtyard to the brim before she stopped!
Even though the Meng family wasn't short of money, giving away so much at once, especially to their least favorite daughter, still made Meng's mother feel incredibly distressed.
Looking at these things, Meng Yanzhi smiled slightly, picked out some of the nicer ones and gave them directly to the four Lu sisters. Then she pulled Mingchu and went back to the bedroom together.
This place is completely different from the old courtyard, and she has successfully completed her first step.
But when Mingchu looked at everything around him, it was as if he were in a dream; it was simply too unreal.
She pinched her thigh stupidly, cried out in pain, and only then did she believe that everything in front of her was real!
"Miss, how did you do that? You're amazing!"
"This... why is Madam suddenly giving us so many nice things? Miss, you... seem different from before?"
Ming Chu was the person who cared about Meng Yanzhi the most, so she was naturally the first to know that Meng Yanzhi was different.
Meng Yanzhi smiled gently and then said directly, "Actually, it's nothing serious. I'm just tired of living such a pathetic life!"
“Mingchu, do you know, I used to think that I was born to live a hard life, but now I understand that no one is born to live a hard life. I should live a good life!”
Meng Yanzhi held Mingchu's hand and looked at her tenderly.
Mingchu was stunned when she heard this, but she still nodded: "Miss, you are a very, very good person. You deserve to live a good life."
Silly girl.
Meng Yanzhi smiled gently and then murmured, "But very, very good people can't live a good life!"
Once upon a time, Meng Yanzhi was just as naive as Ming Chu is now. She thought that if she was a good person, she would live a good life one day. She thought that she could exchange sincerity for sincerity. But in the end, she found that those people didn't have hearts at all!
In their eyes, she was nothing more than a rag, something to be used when needed and discarded when not. It was truly laughable!
Seeing Meng Yanzhi like this, Ming Chu felt uneasy.
"Young Miss, I am truly happy that you have these things, but I'm afraid some people are not so happy."
"Young Miss, you must be careful."
Mingchu looked at Meng Yanzhi with some worry.
The young lady is too naive, which is why she always suffers losses.
But unfortunately, she was of lowly status and couldn't offer the young lady anything, so all she could offer in the end were these pieces of advice.
"I know what I'm doing."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Yunrou walked in happily, her eyes lingering on the good stuff for a moment, her expression somewhat distorted.
"Congratulations, eldest cousin! Madam is so kind to you." Xu Yunrou smiled at her, then lowered her head in disappointment: "Once you marry into the family, you will be the proper Madam Xu. These good things should rightfully belong to you, unlike me, a concubine, who is naturally unworthy of such good things."
Normally, Meng Yanzhi would have felt very sorry for her after hearing this and would have willingly given her all the good things. Unfortunately, the current Meng Yanzhi wouldn't do anything foolish.
Upon hearing this, Mingchu's expression changed, and she said, "Miss, aren't your own things good enough? Do you feel that Madam has mistreated you?"
These words were spoken to protect Meng Yanzhi, mainly because Mingchu was genuinely worried that Meng Yanzhi was too kind and weak, and would foolishly give away her things to others.
Xu Yunrou's expression changed, and she looked at Ming Chu with displeasure. She then said, "Elder cousin, even if I become your concubine in the future, I am still your mistress. How can you let a servant talk to me like that? Elder cousin, you come from the countryside and don't know, some servants are just good at using their silver tongues to sow discord!"
This is a blatant insult to Ming Chu.
Meng Yanzhi was neither angry nor anxious, but simply smiled faintly: "Cousin Yunrou, you are joking. These things are just ordinary items. I heard that Young Master Xu gave you a fine jade disc. I've never seen one before. Why don't you let me take a look at it? I'll play with it for a few days and then return it to you."
"That won't do!"
Xu Yunrou refused without even thinking!
