Chapter 268 Pregnant and scolded, the domineering emperor protects his wife on the spot!
Seeing Meng Yanzhi like this, Qingdao's face was full of heartache: "Your Highness, are you alright?"
"I don't want to go back to the palace."
"Will you stay with me? I'd like to sit outside for a while, is that alright?"
Meng Yanzhi looked at Qingdao with pleading eyes and tugged at her sleeve pitifully.
Although Qingdao knew it was wrong to do this, he nodded and agreed when he saw Meng Yanzhi's state. He then took Meng Yanzhi to her favorite restaurant and asked for a private room by the window, hoping to help her relax.
After arranging everything, Qingdao silently turned and walked outside, then sent a message to the palace.
Upon receiving the news, Xiao Xingyuan immediately put aside his work and rode his horse towards this location.
Meng Yanzhi leaned silently against the window, gazing longingly outside, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
She thought that if she told everyone about her grievances, someone in the Meng family would feel guilty. But she never expected that even after she told them everything, they would still be so indifferent. They never cared about her from beginning to end.
For some reason, Meng Yanzhi, who should have been numb, felt her heart breaking at this moment. She didn't want to cry, but the tears just wouldn't stop falling.
When Xiao Xingyuan opened the door and came in, he saw Meng Yanzhi with tears streaming down her face. He felt extremely distressed and strode forward to gently hug Meng Yanzhi from behind.
"Don't cry."
Meng Yanzhi didn't turn around, but said in a sobbing voice, "I thought they would regret it, feel guilty, and feel sorry for me, but I never expected that there would be nothing, only resentment, contempt, and disdain. In their eyes, they don't care about my grievances at all!"
"But why?" Meng Yanzhi took Xiao Xingyuan's hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, then said, "I'm pregnant now, and I don't understand why anyone would be so cruel to their own child. Why?"
Ever since she found out she was pregnant, she has been acutely aware that her parents have never loved her in the slightest.
Even from the very beginning, her birth may have been unexpected.
Seeing Meng Yanzhi's heartbroken state, Xiao Xingyuan felt an unbearable heartache. He held her close and said gently, "Yanzhi, don't think about those things. You are wonderful. You are the best girl in the world. You deserve so much love. They don't love you because they are blind. It's not your fault."
Xiao Xingyuan rarely spoke so much at once, but he really couldn't bear to see his precious child so sad and upset.
After hearing these words, Meng Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xingyuan with some confusion: "Really? If I'm so good, why don't my biological parents like me? Why?"
When Xiao Xingyuan met Meng Yanzhi's watery eyes, he had only one thought: to tear the entire Meng family to pieces!
He reached out and gently touched Meng Yanzhi's cheek, softly comforting her, "Alright, alright, don't cry. What if the baby in your belly knows you're sad?"
"I know, I won't cry."
"But I couldn't help it."
Meng Yanzhi hugged Xiao Xingyuan and burst into tears, looking as aggrieved as a child.
This was the first time in both her past and present lives that someone had listened to her grievances so attentively and sincerely, and it was also the only time that someone had genuinely sympathized with her grievances.
Xiao Xingyuan didn't say anything else, he just held Meng Yanzhi in his arms and kept her company.
It seemed as if Meng Yanzhi was about to vent all the grievances she had suffered in her two lives.
Tears and snot stained Xiao Xingyuan's clothes. Finally, she cried until she was exhausted and calmed down. She picked up a handkerchief from the side, wiped away her tears, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm hungry."
"Serve the food." Xiao Xingyuan waved his hand, and soon the table was filled with plates of food.
Seeing all this delicious food, Meng Yanzhi didn't say anything else. She picked up her chopsticks and started eating heartily. The food outside was certainly not as exquisite as that in the palace, but the taste was definitely more vivid. Meng Yanzhi had been having a poor appetite since she had a child, but this time she finally had a good appetite and ate happily, bite by bite.
Seeing her so happy, Xiao Xingyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiled gently, and said softly, "Eat slowly, no one will take it from you."
"Don't rush to kill him. Wait until Meng Anfeng comes back, then let him properly send off his father in his final days." Meng Yanzhi had a greasy pork knuckle in her mouth, and her eyes crinkled as she stared at Xiao Xingyuan.
"good."
Xiao Xingyuan agreed.
As for the Meng family's affairs, how and when to handle them is entirely up to Meng Yanzhi. Right now, as long as Meng Yanzhi is safe and happy, Xiao Xingyuan would be willing to risk his own life.
"Ah Yuan, you're so good to me."
Meng Yanzhi put down her chopsticks and stared longingly at Xiao Xingyuan.
When she was in the palace, Meng Yanzhi had to follow the rules, but outside, she still wanted to get closer to Xiao Xingyuan.
Xiao Xingyuan chuckled softly and kissed Meng Yanzhi: "I want to immediately make you my empress, and I want to marry you, Yanzhi, I want you to marry me!"
"Okay." Meng Yanzhi immediately agreed, smiled gently, and leaned on Xiao Xingyuan's shoulder.
In the past, Meng Yanzhi was most afraid of standing in a crowd and becoming the so-called focus, but now she is no longer afraid. She wants to stand by Xiao Xingyuan's side and stand shoulder to shoulder with him!
Seeing Meng Yanzhi agree so readily, Xiao Xingyuan was overjoyed. He immediately leaned forward and kissed her, saying, "That's wonderful, Yanzhi, that's really wonderful!"
"Xiao Xingyuan, I love you." Meng Yanzhi leaned forward, wrapped her arms around Xiao Xingyuan's neck, and kissed him fiercely: "No matter who you are, no matter what you do, I will be your wife, and I will always be with you!"
Even if she were to be trapped in the Nine Heavens Palace for the rest of her life, she would be willing.
Seeing Meng Yanzhi's sincere expression, Xiao Xingyuan finally felt relieved.
He was initially worried that Meng Yanzhi might have a falling out with him and run away secretly, but now it seems she won't run away and is reluctant to leave!
After the two finished their meal, they happily held hands and walked together toward the palace.
