Chapter 130 I am just arrogant, so what?

Meng Zhiyi looked around quickly, and his eyes finally fell on the old man sitting on the armchair.

He was the only one sitting in the whole room.

The elder is already eighty years old this year, and he is in good health. He has an imposing aura, and he looks majestic while sitting there, just like an official in ancient times.

Meng Zhiyi secretly noted down the impression he had when he first met the old man, and began to guess his identity.

Next to the elder Yuan were the ancestral tablets of the entire Yuan family.

When the mother, her two daughters and her two daughters came to the tablet and stopped, they heard Meng's mother turn sideways and respectfully perform a standard bow to the elder.

Then he called out, "Grandpa."

This made Meng Zhiyi stunned.

【Ah? What era is this? Why are we still doing the blessing ceremony?】

[No, this is poisonous. I haven’t traveled back to ancient times.]

Just when Meng Zhiyi was still shocked by the Yuan family's absurdity, the elder Yuan looked at Meng Zhiyi sharply.

"Kneel down!" His voice was deep and full of dignity that could not be disobeyed.

Meng Zhiyi: “???”

[What the hell, is this a gene unique to the Yuan family? ]

[Last time, when Ms. Yuan rushed to the Shen family, the first thing she did was to make me kneel down. ]

[Who should be made to kneel this time, me or my mother? ]

Meng's mother's face turned pale, and then she knelt down straight without resisting.

Meng Zhiyi was stunned and a little shocked.

Before she could digest all this, she saw another older man walking out with a ruler in his hand.

Meng Zhiyi was still wondering who this person was when Meng Tinglan, who had been standing beside her without saying a word, suddenly rushed in front of Meng's mother to block her.

"Grandpa, are you going to punish Mother with family rules?" There was a hint of disbelief in his tone.

Meng Zhiyi was stunned: [There are still family rules? ]

Yuan Chongzhou held a meter-long ruler in his hand and ignored Meng Tinglan. Instead, he looked coldly at Meng's mother who was kneeling on the ground. "If a son is not well-educated, it is the fault of the father. I can't control Meng Jianwei, but I can control you, right?"

"Look at the good daughter you raised. Not only does she disrespect her elders in public, but she also maliciously framed her own cousin and reported the matter to the police station, bringing shame to the Yuan family!"

"Yuan Huiying, don't think that you can throw the Yuan family rules behind you just because you married a rich man!"

The scolding words echoed in his ears like thunder. Meng Zhiyi stared blankly at his mother who was kneeling upright in front of him, his brows wrinkled unconsciously.

The next second, Yuan Chongzhou raised the ruler and prepared to hit him.

Meng Tinglan looked unhappy, and stood in front of Yuan Huiying: "If you want to hit me, hit me. I will take it for my mother."

"Hmph, for? There is no such thing as for in the Yuan family! If you don't move out of the way, I will beat you first and then her!" Yuan Chongzhou's words were so cold that it seemed as if the person in front of him was not a relative, but more like an enemy.

When Meng's mother heard this, she immediately said, "Tinglan, get out of the way."

Meng Tinglan bit her lip and looked at her mother with eyes full of heartache.

It was such a humiliation for a married daughter to be punished in the Yuan family ancestral hall in front of all the Yuan family members.

"Be obedient and stand aside." Meng's mother's tone was calm, as if she was used to such things.

Meng Zhiyi said nothing, just watched quietly.

Meng Tinglan bit her lip, thinking of her grandfather's temper, and finally had to give in.

As soon as he left, the ruler fell heavily on Meng's mother.

The sound of it cutting through the air is crystal clear.

“Bang!!!!”

As the ruler came down, Meng Zhiyi could clearly see that Meng's mother's body sank a little, which showed how hard she was hit.

She looked calmly at all the people standing in the room. Except for Li Ping who had a smug look on her face, everyone else had a blank expression.

The family discipline continued, the voice becoming louder and louder.

It was hard to count how many times she had been beaten; Meng's mother's body was already somewhat unstable.

Yuan Chongzhou looked at Meng Mu without any emotion and said, "Next, it's your turn."

"My daughter is yours, and you are responsible for her mistakes."

After saying this, he threw the ruler in front of Meng's mother.

Meng Zhiyi looked solemn at this moment, his lips tightly pursed, and he watched the scene expressionlessly.

Her eyes fell on Meng Mu's somewhat shaky back. Thinking about the ruler that had just been used on her, she felt a complicated feeling in her heart.

Because the original book only describes the Yuan family in one sentence, and even the number of times they appear in the entire plot can be counted on one's fingers.

She couldn't help but wonder what kind of family the Yuan family was.

At the moment, judging from Yuan Chongzhou's tone, he wants Meng's mother to use the family rules on him.

Her eyes darkened and she waited quietly for Meng Mu's reaction.

Meng Tinglan looked at Meng's mother with great concern. He felt sorry for his mother being trapped under the influence of such a native family, and he was also worried that she would really do something to Meng Zhiyi.

If that were the case, then it would be impossible for them to restore their family relationship with Meng Zhiyi.

Everyone was waiting for Meng Mu.

But time passed by minute by minute, until the elder master on the throne began to get impatient, Meng's mother slowly spoke.

"Zhiyi has not been by my side since she was young. She is wild and undisciplined. It is my fault as a mother. I did not play the role of a mother in her growth. It is not her fault."

"Now that she has done something wrong, I am the one who should be held responsible, not her."

Meng Zhiyi's eyes flickered with some surprise and shock.

She didn't expect that for the first time, Meng's mother didn't blame her.

After hearing Meng Mu's answer, Yuan Chongzhou's face darkened and his eyes became more fierce: "So, you are going to do it for her?"

Mother Meng: "It's not my fault. This is my fault as a mother."

The muscles on Yuan Chongzhou's face were twitching.

To Yuan Chongzhou, Meng Mu's words seemed to be telling everyone that her mistakes were caused by her father's failure to teach her well.

But even if he was angry, his father, the elder, was present, so he did not dare to lose his temper.

Yuan Chongzhou turned and looked at Yuan Laoyezi, as if asking for his opinion.

The elder looked at them straight, with an ambiguity on his face.

After a while, the elder master spoke: "Then let her do as she pleases."

After he finished speaking, Yuan Chongzhou turned around and walked back to Meng's mother.

Then, Meng Zhiyi saw Meng's mother picked up the ruler on the ground and presented it with both hands.

"..." Meng Zhi felt it was absurd.

She felt that she was living in a feudal society with strict systems.

Yuan Chongzhou did not hesitate and grabbed the ruler to hit Meng Mu again.

But this time, Meng Zhiyi couldn't stay as calm as before, and watched indifferently as Meng's mother was beaten.

The clothes she wore today were originally light-colored, but now they had a hint of red.

Meng Zhiyi gritted his teeth, suddenly rushed forward, stretched out his hand and tightly grasped the ruler that was about to fall.

Yuan Chongzhou stared at her fiercely and asked coldly, "Do you want to rebel?"

Meng Zhiyi curled the corner of his mouth and met Yuan Chongzhou's eyes sternly.

"You old bastard, it's already the 21st century, do you really think you're still living in the old society?"

"When society progresses, you all hide away, don't you?"

"If you want to live in a feudal society, why don't you just die earlier and reincarnate back to that time?"

"How dare you!" The elder slammed the table and scolded angrily.

Meng Zhiyi sneered, snatched the ruler from Yuan Chongzhou's hand, and then threw it at Yuan Laoyezi.

The elder was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he had no time to dodge. The ruler flew behind him, close to his face, and finally hit the wall and broke into several pieces.

Meng Zhiyi's action frightened everyone present and made them take a step back.

Mother Meng was also startled and reached out to stop her, but was stopped by Meng Tinglan.

The elder Yuan recovered from his shock, stood up abruptly, grabbed his cane and pointed it at Meng Zhiyi: "Well, you rebellious girl, you are so arrogant in front of our ancestors. If I don't teach you a lesson today, do you really think the rules of the Yuan family are just for show?!"

Meng Zhiyi sneered, turned his head to look at the tablets placed beside him, and his eyes turned cold.

"Ancestors?"

"Oh."

She turned around and overturned the table in front of everyone's shocked gaze.

After a series of clanging sounds, all the tablets fell to the ground.

Everyone stared in astonishment, unable to react for a while.

Then, they heard Meng Zhiyi's voice, which was as cold as ice that had been frozen for thousands of years.

"I am just being arrogant, so what?"

"Even if they all crawl out of their coffins today, I'm still going to have a good fight with you, an old bitch."
