Chapter 197 Turning Against Each Other
Ming Chu clenched the handkerchief in his hand tightly and stared straight at Meng Yanzhi.
Meng Yanzhi truly never expected that Ming Chu would speak to her like that one day.
Her eyebrows furrowed tightly as she snapped, "What do you mean by that? We've been master and servant for a time. If I could help you, would I refuse?"
"Then why don't you help me!"
"You sent me to the Crown Prince's side claiming it was for my own good, but you just wanted to use me. In the end, you never treated me as a human being; you treated me as your servant, as an object!"
"Meng Yanzhi, I've finally seen through it all. You can't trust anyone in this world!"
In the early Ming Dynasty, she screamed loudly, complaining to Meng Yanzhi.
"Okay, okay, I can't be relied on, I just can't be relied on!"
"If you think I'm so unreliable, then you don't need to tell me any of this. Get out, get out!"
Meng Yanzhi immediately opened the door and pointed to the entrance.
Unexpectedly, they saw Meng Anxian standing at the door.
Meng Anxian had clearly changed into a new outfit, dressed up in a flamboyant manner, and was there to show off.
Now, seeing the two of them turn against each other, she found it even more amusing. She clapped her hands and said, "Sister, you never imagined that the people around you would harbor resentment towards you, did you?"
Without giving Meng Yanzhi a chance to speak, he directly directed all the criticism at Ming Chu, who was standing to the side.
"You probably already know that I will soon be your master. If you abandon the darkness and become my person now, and are willing to listen to me, I will not make things difficult for you after I enter the Crown Prince's residence. What do you say?" Meng Anxian smiled and looked at Ming Chu.
She loathed Ming Chu, but she was deeply in love with Meng Yanzhi. As long as it could hurt Meng Yanzhi, she really wouldn't mind taking Ming Chu under her wing.
"I am the Crown Princess's servant, so naturally I should obey her orders in everything."
Without the slightest hesitation, Ming Chu knelt down and bowed respectfully.
"Hahaha!"
Meng Anxian was even more smug and burst out laughing.
"Very good, what a good dog!"
"Go, slap Meng Yanzhi hard!"
Meng Anxian stretched out her foot and gently kicked Ming Chu's knee. Although the force was not great, it was clear that she did not treat her as a human being at all.
Ming Chu took a deep breath, stood up, and looked at Meng Yanzhi: "Miss, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry for what I did for myself!"
Before she could finish speaking, a slap landed hard on Meng Yanzhi's face.
Meng Yanzhi showed no expression, but simply slapped him back hard.
You're not worthy to slap me in the face!
"Meng Anxian, this is the palace, not your Meng family's private quarters. You haven't even officially entered the Crown Prince's residence yet. Are you really going to act so arrogantly now?"
Aren't you afraid of losing what you've already secured?
Meng Yanzhi sneered and stared at Meng Anxian as she spoke, threatening her.
Meng Anxian was all bark and no bite. Upon hearing this, her expression immediately changed. Remembering her current predicament, she gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, Meng Yanzhi, let's see how long you can keep up this arrogance!"
She snorted coldly, turned and left. Ming Chu immediately followed, and before leaving, he turned back and gave Meng Yanzhi a deep look.
Meng Yanzhi felt it was bad luck, so she took an ice handkerchief and covered her face with it.
"Miss, should I kill her?"
Qingdao walked in, his gaze fixed on Meng Yanzhi with a somewhat complicated expression.
These words startled Meng Yanzhi, who was both amused and exasperated. She then asked, "What's wrong? Does it have to be all fighting and killing?"
"To deceive one's master is a grave crime, and she even hit you!" Qingdao pointed at Meng Yanzhi's swollen cheek.
Meng Yanzhi waved her hand and said calmly, "Even so, I can understand. Life in the inner quarters is not easy. Although she used to be my servant, she will have to make a living under Meng Anxian from now on. She has no choice."
this……
Qingdao stared at Meng Yanzhi in shock. She had clearly seen how Meng Yanzhi had argued with Xiao Xingyuan before. Even the dignified emperor had no temper in front of her. How could he be so lenient towards a mere maid?
Meng Yanzhi glanced at Qingdao and smiled gently: "Alright, let's do what we need to do. Other people's business is none of our concern!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a messenger came in from the Jade King's side.
After reading the contents of the letter, Meng Yanzhi went directly to find Xiao Xingyuan.
"Your Majesty, look."
"The Jade King said he'd give me two manors in exchange for someone else!"
"It seems that Consort Liu's value is greater than we thought. By the way, how's your investigation going?"
Meng Yanzhi frowned deeply, looking at Xiao Xingyuan with some curiosity.
Xiao Xingyuan smiled upon hearing this: "Hmm, this Consort Liu's identity is indeed extraordinary. We've investigated for a long time but haven't found any clues. You... is there any chance she can regain her senses?"
"have."
Meng Yanzhi nodded, not denying at all that she was the one who had turned Consort Liu into a fool. She took a small bottle and placed it on the table.
"Eat this and you'll feel better."
"But what if she doesn't tell me?"
Meng Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xingyuan with some worry.
Xiao Xingyuan smiled, touched Meng Yanzhi's cheek, and then said, "My Yanzhi is really amazing. Don't worry, I naturally have a way!"
"Then I'll reply to them."
"I've agreed to this. I still really like these two estates and I still want them."
Meng Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xingyuan expectantly and smiled gently.
Seeing this, Xiao Xingyuan nodded helplessly: "How come I didn't know you were such a money-grubber before?"
"I'm going to be a wanderer from now on, how can I do that without money?"
"Your Majesty, was the crabapple cake delicious today?"
Meng Yanzhi stepped forward, looking at Xiao Xingyuan with some curiosity.
Now, whenever Xiao Xingyuan hears the sound of crabapple blossoms, he feels pain in his hands.
He put his arm around Meng Yanzhi and made her sit on his lap: "I like what you make, but... the Grand General of the State is colluding with the Jade Prince and I don't know what he's up to, so I have to be nicer to Consort Ling. You mustn't be angry!"
Lingfei is Lingfei again!
Meng Yanzhi's face turns ugly whenever she hears this person's name.
Her eyebrows furrowed: "Then how will His Majesty treat her well? By offering himself in return?"
"Of course not!"
"What's wrong? Are you jealous?"
Xiao Xingyuan smiled gently and kissed Meng Yanzhi.
"I will not mention the past anymore. Now that I have you, there will be no one else."
