Chapter 466 Meng Xunji’s plan
Chapter 466 Meng Xunji’s plan
The carriage of the Duke's Mansion was heading towards the Duke's Mansion.
In the carriage, Meng Zixuan was kneeling on the ground. Sitting dignifiedly in front of her was Fu Wanting, the wife of the Meng family.
The carriage was swaying, but Fu Wanting's back was straight and she didn't look at all embarrassed.
On the contrary, Meng Zixuan on the ground could not be described as extremely embarrassed.
Meng Zixuan clenched the brocade handkerchief in her hand and lowered her head silently, feeling the appraising gaze of her superior Fu Wanting. Even though the whip marks on her back were extremely painful, she worked hard to straighten her back, not wanting to let the person in front of her look down upon her.
She was afraid of her aunt.
Although she has been suppressed by Meng Zirou since she was a child, she has never shown herself in front of others. But that was all because of his grandfather's faith in Meng Zirou, who gave her the best of everything, and because of the personal guidance of the person in front of him.
She never thought that she should be inferior to Meng Zirou, if she could have the best teacher and the best everything like Meng Zirou. She can even do better than Meng Zirou.
There were many times when she was particularly envious of Meng Zirou. Not only those good resources, but also such a well-educated, dignified and elegant mother.
Her strict requirements were not without family affection. When everyone regarded Meng Zirou as the next new queen, she was the only one who still cared about her daughter. Otherwise, Meng Zirou would not have been able to enter the palace so easily, and Fu Wanting's contribution was among them.
And then think about my mother. As her name suggests, she is like a peacock who doesn't know what to call, and stirs up trouble everywhere.
He has no sympathy for his daughter and only treats her as a tool to compete for interests. When she was not as good as Meng Zirou, she always looked down on her, thinking that it was her stupidity that made her second wife suffer.
Being suppressed by the big house all the year round.
But facts have proven that even if Meng Zirou is gone, even if she has a chance to succeed, Fu Wanting's power as a housekeeper is still stable, and it is not something that she, a person who knows nothing about anything, can control.
Fu Wanting said nothing, but saw Meng Zirou's unwillingness, anger, sarcasm and other emotions in her eyes. Although she didn't understand why she had these emotions, she didn't care.
He waved his hand to the maid next to him to help him up, sat down across from him, and said in a majestic and gentle voice: "If you want to scheme against someone, then don't leave any clues.
Since it's irreversible, don't use forceful reasoning, just go with the flow and find the point that's most beneficial to you. Even in the final stage, we must not lose the character and good demeanor that a noble lady should have, and we must lose beautifully when we lose, and we must not be so embarrassed.”
Although Meng Zixuan was sitting, she never raised her head. After hearing Fu Wanting's words, I felt deeply ashamed and knew that I was reckless.
Taking a deep breath, "Aunt, Xuan'er knows."
"It's good to know. Raise your head, don't be afraid of anyone, look directly at me." Fu Wanting's voice revealed no doubt.
Meng Zixuan suppressed the fear in her heart and raised her head, meeting Fu Wanting's calm eyes.
"Change your clothes first, then freshen up, and remember to be more humble when you go back. Ask your grandfather to apologize, and he won't scold you too much."
Meng Zixuan clenched her fist and said "yes".
When the carriage from Duke Guo's Mansion drove into Duke Bao's Mansion, Meng Zixuan got out of the carriage and had already changed her clothes and finished washing herself.
Without the decoration of the exquisite hairpin, the whole person looks much more elegant. Because of the injury, his face was a little pale.
Wearing a light cyan embroidered skirt and a white fox fur cloak, her complexion looked even more sickly.
When Renrou weakly knelt in front of Meng Xunji, people wondered whether she would fall down in the next second.
Meng Xunji sat in front of the desk, holding a letter in his hand. He glanced at the people on the ground out of the corner of his eye, and said no more.
Fu Wanting said, "Father, Xuan'er has been brought back."
Meng Xunji nodded.
Fu Wanting didn't stay long. She glanced at Meng Xunji, who was silent, and then at Meng Zixuan, who was kneeling upright, and then turned around and went out.
After about a stick of incense, Meng Zixuan bit her lip tightly, and a trace of blood overflowed, and her face became even more pale than a living person. Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead from time to time.
Meng Xunji remained motionless, reading the letter and reading as if he didn't see anyone on the ground.
Just when Meng Zirou was almost unable to hold on any longer, Meng Xunji said, "Do you know why I want you to kneel down?"
Meng Zixuan replied in a trembling voice: "My granddaughter did something wrong and deserves to be punished."
Meng Xunji nodded with satisfaction, "Every time you do something wrong, you deserve to be punished. But in the process of being punished, did you think about why you lost?"
Meng Zixuan shook her head. She felt that she did not lose to Murong Yao, but to Qingyun and Yan Qin'ao.
Meng Xunji sighed, "You are looking down on yourself and the other person. Maybe the person you want to deal with is not very smart, but don't forget that the people around her are not."
Anyone who is willing to help her is her strength. After all, connections are also a big issue, and the strength of the people around her also represents her own strength.
When you want to deal with her, you should understand that you have to deal with the people around her."
Meng Zixuan nodded hurriedly, she understood. The person she wants to deal with is indeed a bit ambitious, but also has a high fighting ability. If it weren't for Qingyun and Yan Qin'ao, then she would be nothing.
But it is obvious that Yan Qin'ao is Murong Yao's person. He always keeps Murong Yao by his side and cares about her very much.
Regarding Qingyun, she initially thought that Qingyun would not like Murong Yao, so she felt that she could drive a wedge between the two and make Qingyun decide to help her.
However, she was still too soft-hearted. Slowly clenching the handkerchief in her hand, Meng Zixuan lowered her head, "Grandfather said yes, and my granddaughter understands."
Seeing that Meng Zixuan had a good attitude in admitting her mistake and had been kneeling for such a long time, he waved his hand and asked people to sit up.
He said in a deep voice: "No matter whether the next emperor is His Highness the Ninth Prince or the Wise King, my grandfather will help you, and the position next to the emperor can only belong to our Meng family.
So you don't have to be too impatient. Your Majesty can still hold on for a while and won't let go too soon. And before he lets go, he will definitely leave behind."
This is the guess he can make based on his understanding of Emperor Yan, so what Meng Zixuan has to do now is to keep calm. Not only Meng Zixuan, but also Meng Zirou, but Meng Zirou is a bit difficult to manipulate.
He sighed silently and dismissed everyone. Before Meng Zixuan went out, she said again, "Your aunt will solve today's matter. Next time, don't be so reckless."
Meng Zixuan trembled, bowed respectfully, "Yes", and then left.
Meng Xunji threw the letter he had just read into the brazier, and there was only silence in the air.
A secret guard knelt silently in front of Meng Xunji and said respectfully: "Master, everything is done."
Meng Xunji nodded, breathed a silent sigh of relief, and the secret guard quietly retreated.
