Children, do you see? I've brought Meng Junyao to this point, which is more painful than death. And the rest, that heartless Huangfu Qian, will suffer the same, or even more severe, punishment.
I swear!
The door was pushed open at that moment. Meng Wan thought it was Huan Yan who had brought Granny Su back. She turned her head with a smile, but before the smile could reach her eyes, she was startled by the person in front of her.
Meng Junheng stood tall and imposing at the door, looking at Meng Wan with a complicated expression. Before her smile could fade, their eyes met and she was slightly stunned.
"Big brother, what brings you here?"
But it was only for a moment, and she quickly regained her composure. Meng Wan got up from the soft couch and walked over to Meng Junheng in a few steps.
"Something terrible has happened at home, how could I not come back?"
Meng Junheng's tone was as gentle as ever, but as perceptive as Meng Wan was, she still sensed the underlying meaning. She lowered her eyes, already guessing that he had probably seen or heard something that made him act this way. On the surface, however, she remained calm and went over to pour Meng Junheng a glass of water. After handing it to him, she sat down next to him.
Meng Junheng took a sip of tea, seemed to ponder for a while, and then spoke again: "When I came here just now, I saw Huanyan with someone. Do you know who it is?"
Meng Wan was clearly stunned for a moment, but she immediately understood why she felt that her elder brother was acting strangely. It was because she saw Huan Yan, and of course, Su Mama, who was with her, was also there.
Originally, Meng Wan didn't want anyone else to know about her revenge except Huan Yan and Feng Qi. However, since her elder brother asked about it, it meant that he must have seen that person. If she continued to hide it, it would only make her elder brother suspicious.
Moreover, her older brother was someone she could trust, and now that things had come to this, she no longer needed to hide it.
“That person is Granny Su.” She said calmly, without hiding anything: “I asked Huanyan to bring Granny Su back, and I also deliberately asked her to testify against Meng Junyao in front of Father. I orchestrated all of this.”
"Why?" Meng Junheng asked in shock. "Why would you do this?"
Meng Wan lowered her eyes, hesitant at the question, and after a long while, she raised her head: "Big brother, do you believe me?"
Her gaze was clear, and her bright black and white eyes shone brightly. Meng Junheng was clearly taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Of course I believe you. Otherwise, I would have told my father when I saw the two of them together. But I chose to ask you because I believe you would not harm people for no reason. There must be some hidden story behind this."
Meng Wan felt a warmth in her heart; after all, her older brother was still on her side. However, she still couldn't tell him the truth, not because she didn't want to, but because she couldn't.
After all, such an incredible thing as rebirth is something that no one would believe unless they experienced it themselves.

After all, such an incredible thing as rebirth is something that no one would believe unless they experienced it themselves.
He could only hesitate before speaking: "What Granny Su said is true. My second sister has always wanted to harm me. Last time at Lingyin Temple, she also drugged me to ruin my reputation, but I discovered it. So I used her own methods against her, and in the end, she suffered the consequences. But even so, this incident has deepened her resentment towards me. If I continue to keep her in the manor, it will not do me any good."
Meng Junheng's brows furrowed even more. "So, the things Second Sister did to frame you are true, and not something Su Mama fabricated?"
“Of course.” Meng Wan nodded.
Meng Junheng's expression became complicated, but even more profound was his anger and shock. He never expected that Meng Junyao would actually make a move on Wan'er.
"Big brother, you believe me, right?"
Seeing that he remained silent, Meng Wan cautiously asked a question.
Meng Junheng then snapped out of his reverie, looked up at Meng Wan, his gaze lingering and unfocused.
Meng Wan's heart sank again. She cared about her older brother and didn't want him to feel any distance from her, nor did she want any trouble to arise because of Meng Junyao.
After a long while, Meng Junheng finally came to his senses. He reached out and stroked Meng Wan's long hair, and sighed almost imperceptibly, "How could I not believe you? I just didn't expect that I didn't know so much. If you hadn't been so careful, you might have already been killed. But why didn't you tell me sooner? Tell me, or tell Father."
He undoubtedly cared deeply for Meng Wan, and his words carried a hint of self-reproach. Meng Wan listened quietly, feeling increasingly warm inside. "I didn't want to make a big deal out of it before, so I kept quiet. But when I saw her going too far, I decided to play along and get her to comply."
Although it was half true and half false, it was still what he truly felt. Meng Junheng listened quietly, his brows furrowing even more deeply.
Seeing this, Meng Wan reached out her hand, her slender fingertips touching his furrowed brows. She traced his brows little by little, and her soft voice followed: "Brother, don't frown. It's all in the past. Now that Father has sent her away, she won't have the chance to harm me again. As long as you don't think I'm ruthless, I'll be satisfied."
Meng Junheng felt an overwhelming surge of emotion welling up inside him, almost consuming him. He steadied himself, barely suppressing the palpitations in his heart, and chuckled softly, "How could that be? No matter what happens, I will believe in you, even if no one else does."
Meng Wan didn't detect the unusual emotion in his words, or rather, she did but didn't think of it in any other way. She simply assumed it was her brother's concern, and nodded with a smile, content.
The brother and sister chatted for a while longer, and finally agreed to go and enjoy the delicious food at Yipinju another day before Meng Junheng left.
Standing by the window, watching his retreating figure, Meng Wanwei was slightly lost in thought.
Now that Meng Junyao has been expelled from the Prime Minister's residence, she should no longer have the opportunity to cause trouble. In that case, she should not make any further moves, otherwise, if her elder brother finds out, he might blame her for being ruthless.
Moreover, Meng Junyao's current predicament is a torment more unbearable than death. After all, she was so proud and ambitious, always wanting to climb higher, but now she is reaping the consequences of her own actions. So let her fend for herself.
Anyway, Meng Wan believed that God had eyes!
The next day, the sky was clear and the air was crisp.
Because Meng Junheng had told her the day before that Yipinju had a new chef with excellent skills, Meng Wan wanted to try his cooking.
After all, he had been busy dealing with Meng Junyao and Huangfu Qian for some time, scheming every day. Now that he finally had some free time, he couldn't let it go to waste.
So early in the morning, he sent a letter to the palace, and then changed into men's clothing and left the Prime Minister's residence.
Although it was the dead of winter, the sun was shining brightly. Sitting by the window waiting for Meng Junheng, the soft sunlight added a touch of warmth, and before I knew it, my mood had improved.
She rested her chin on her hand, revealing a section of her fair neck as she gazed out the window, her expression relaxed and carefree. Just then, her attention was drawn to a quarrel outside.
"You stole my money!" The voice of an elderly man suddenly made Meng Wan frown. In broad daylight, someone stole money?
