Chapter 61 Treating Me Like Dung
Meng Yanzhi then came to her senses and frowned at Meng Anfeng: "What? What happened?"
"No matter what happened, Xian'er absolutely cannot stay in the Ministry of Justice prison. Go and beg Zhao Dongzhi right now!" Meng Anfeng stepped forward, grabbed Meng Yanzhi's wrist, and walked outside.
He didn't care whether Meng Yanzhi was willing or not, because in the eyes of the Meng family, whatever Meng Yanzhi did was her duty, she should be obedient, and she should do things according to their will.
Meng Yanzhi was forced onto the carriage. Meng Anfeng was completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter and just looked at Meng Yanzhi coldly: "Xian'er did go too far this time, but you are sisters and nothing is insurmountable. Don't worry, I will make her apologize to you properly when she comes back."
"Is Meng Anxian's apology so valuable, more valuable than my innocence and future?" Meng Yanzhi raised an eyebrow at Meng Anfeng.
Meng Anfeng truly hadn't expected that the person who hadn't dared to speak loudly in front of him before would now become so sharp-tongued!
"When did you become so aggressive? We're all family. You've made a scene and become a laughingstock for outsiders. And you still think you're right?"
"I'm doing this for your own good. Otherwise, if your reputation for being fierce and mean gets out, what future will you have?"
Meng Anfeng spoke eloquently, making it seem to anyone who didn't know better that he was genuinely doing it all for Meng Yanzhi's good.
Now Meng Yanzhi finally understood that the Meng family all had the same logic: Meng Anxian was the pearl in their hands, while she, Meng Yanzhi, was nothing but a pile of shit!
Unfortunately, Meng Yanzhi is no longer the submissive Meng Yanzhi she once was.
Upon arriving at the General's Mansion, Meng Anfeng did not enter. Instead, he warned Meng Yanzhi, "I want to see Xian'er at the dinner table tonight, or else don't blame me!"
This was both a threat and a warning. Meng Yanzhi knew better than anyone the consequences of offending this young master. She glanced at Meng Anfeng, then nodded indifferently and entered the General's Mansion.
Zhao Bailu was overjoyed to know that Meng Yanzhi had arrived. She skipped out, grabbed Meng Yanzhi's hand, and said with a smile, "I've been telling you for a long time that you should go out more. Did you come to visit me?"
"No, I'm here to ask your brother to plead for Meng Anxian. My brother said that if he doesn't see her at the dinner table tonight, I'll be in big trouble." Meng Yanzhi looked at Zhao Bailu with red eyes and a wronged expression: "Lulu, please help me and let me see your brother, okay?"
Zhao Bailu, who was already quick to anger, gritted her teeth even more after hearing this: "Pah! What kind of lousy brother is this? Other brothers protect their sisters. Why does your brother always bully you? Come on, let's go find my brother and settle this!"
After saying that, Zhao Bailu took Meng Yanzhi's hand and they went to Zhao Dongzhi's study together.
Zhao Dongzhi was reading a book when Zhao Bailu kicked the door open and rushed in. Zhao Dongzhi sighed helplessly, "How many times have I told you to knock before entering!"
When Zhao Dongzhi's gaze fell upon Meng Yanzhi beside Zhao Bailu, all her temper vanished. She hurriedly stood up and smiled at Meng Yanzhi, "Miss Meng, what brings you here?"
Meng Yanzhi swallowed hard, then gritted her teeth and knelt down in front of Zhao Dongzhi.
"General Zhao, please save Meng Anxian! Otherwise... otherwise I'm afraid I won't survive! Please!"
As Meng Yanzhi spoke, tears fell like beads from a broken string.
If Meng Anfeng wasn't lying, then Zhao Dongzhi's feelings for her must be quite special, so she was certain that her tactic would work.
Sure enough, Zhao Dongzhi immediately stepped forward and quickly helped Meng Yanzhi up from the ground, saying, "Let's talk this out, don't cry."
Zhao Bailu belatedly realized what was happening and hurriedly took out her handkerchief to wipe Meng Yanzhi's tears, saying softly, "It's alright, don't cry. My brother will never let you suffer, right, brother?"
Zhao Dongzhi really wished he could sew his sister's mouth shut, but when he met Meng Yanzhi's watery eyes, he had no choice but to nod.
"Miss, how do you want me to help you?" Zhao Dongzhi looked at her helplessly: "Do you really want to release Meng Anxian?"
That's not impossible, but it would take a lot of effort and could lead to endless troubles.
Of course, Meng Yanzhi wouldn't let Meng Anxian off so easily!
With red eyes, she took a step back, shook her head, and whispered, "I don't know, I really don't know. If my sister doesn't come home, I'll die."
As she spoke, Meng Yanzhi inadvertently revealed an old injury on her arm.
Zhao Bailu, with her sharp eyes, grabbed Meng Yanzhi's arm and rolled up her sleeve. Zhao Dongzhi, on the other hand, instinctively turned around and gritted her teeth, saying, "Zhao Bailu!"
"Brother! Look!" Zhao Bailu grabbed Meng Yanzhi's arm and handed it to Zhao Dongzhi: "This is a burn! It's outrageous! These people are simply going too far!"
Zhao Dongzhi could see it clearly; it was indeed a mark left by a branding iron. His heart trembled, and he looked at Meng Yanzhi in disbelief: "This...who did this?"
Meng Yanzhi frantically tugged at her sleeve, tears streaming down her face, shaking her head repeatedly, not daring to utter a single word. Tears splattered everywhere, and Zhao Dongzhi felt as if her heart was about to break.
He couldn't help but reach out and wipe Meng Yanzhi's cheek with his rough palm: "Don't cry, don't be afraid!"
Zhao Bailu was initially very angry, but seeing her brother like this, she immediately stopped being angry and instead became interested.
She blinked, looked at Zhao Dongzhi, then at Meng Yanzhi, and felt that her sister-in-law was probably settled down.
Meng Yanzhi burst into tears, but silently took a step back, keeping to her proper place.
"Since the Meng family can't accept you, then you can stay at my General's Mansion. You and Lulu are good friends, so it's perfectly reasonable for you to stay at my General's Mansion for a while."
"Tomorrow, I'll go to the palace to find out what's going on and see how this matter can be resolved, okay?"
Zhao Dongzhi sensed Meng Yanzhi's avoidance, immediately withdrew his hand, hid it behind his back, and clenched it into a fist in suppressed anger!
"Okay, it's settled then."
"Rouge, don't cry. Come on, let's go back to my courtyard!"
Zhao Bailu readily agreed. She was the only daughter in the family, so she felt very lonely. She was happy to have a sister to keep her company.
"Cough cough!"
Just then, Madam Zhao entered the room coughing, her eyes sweeping over her two children with a hint of helplessness.
