After all, she was the one who plotted against Meng Wan first, so there was absolutely nothing she could say at this moment. Otherwise, if her father found out that she had framed Meng Wan but had been framed in return, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But her fierce nature wouldn't allow her to admit defeat. Looking at Meng Wan now, she gritted her teeth and said, "How would I know why you wanted to hurt me? Anyway, you've disliked me from the beginning!"
As she spoke, her emotions grew increasingly agitated, until finally she was almost screaming.
Meng Wan merely watched his outburst with cold indifference, while Prime Minister Meng, furious, raised his hand and slapped him again: "You worthless wretch, still spouting nonsense here! I think you've really lost your mind! Not only have you done such a disgraceful thing, but now you're blaming others. I, I..."
His chest heaved, clearly he was furious. Meng Wan quickly went over to support him, patting his back to help him catch his breath, and said, "Father, don't be angry. Let's talk this out. The shameful thing has already happened, and there's no use in being angry."
"Meng Wan, you..."
The words "scandal" caused Meng Junyao to break down. She shouted Meng Wan's name in full, but was met with a cold glare from the Prime Minister. The glare fell on Meng Junyao like autumn leaves in the wind, startling her. She quickly reverted to her usual weak demeanor, lowered her head, wrapped her hands in the blanket, and sobbed.
Prime Minister Meng was furious and didn't want to look at her anymore. He turned to the servants behind him and shouted, "Guards! Lock this unfilial daughter in the woodshed! She's not to come out without my permission!"
"Ah, Father, no! Don't lock your daughter in the woodshed, Father—" Meng Junyao lost control again, desperately trying to break free from the servants' restraints, but in doing so, she also broke free from the blanket covering her body. In her haste, she tried to cover herself again, not knowing what to care about.
Meng Wan watched her screaming and shouting in a disheveled state, and naturally she wouldn't plead for her. Since things had already come to this point, the battle had begun, and there was no need for her to show her any more goodwill. In any case, Meng Junyao's good days were over, and the suffering had only just begun.
Although Meng Junyao had caused a scandal, Prime Minister Meng still considered their father-daughter relationship and did not kick her out of the mansion. This was something Meng Wan had thought of long ago, after all, her father was not a heartless person, and no matter what, Meng Junyao was still his daughter.
However, Meng Wan would not give up so easily. Her goal was not just to ruin Meng Junyao's reputation. From the moment she was reborn, she had vowed to watch Meng Junyao suffer torment!
--I had something to do yesterday and got home late, so I didn't turn on my computer. I'm catching up on yesterday's post now, this is the fourth update. Enjoy reading!--
The Scumbag Girl Revealed (Part 1)
The weather is getting colder and colder, and this year's snow seems to be falling more than usual. There was no sound at night, but when I woke up in the morning, everything was covered in silver and white, stretching as far as the eye could see, making people feel even colder.
Meng Wan was extremely afraid of the cold, something she had never experienced in her previous life. Perhaps it was because winter and snowy days always reminded her of some horrifying things, which is why she felt cold for no reason.
It's so cold!
"Miss--" As soon as Huan Yan entered the room, she saw her mistress staring blankly at the window again. It seemed that her mistress had been like this lately, looking preoccupied. Huan Yan hesitated for a moment before lifting the curtain and entering the room.
"Yes, I'm back."
Meng Wan didn't turn around, remaining seated in the same position. Only when Huan Yan walked up behind her did she turn around and ask, "What did your aunt want with you?"
"It's nothing, I just heard that Miss hasn't had a good appetite these past few days, and I was worried that she might be sick, so I asked me to give her a few words of advice."
Meng Wan nodded without saying anything more, then turned to look out the window. Just then, Huan Yan brought over a new hand warmer and changed it for her. Standing behind Meng Wan, Huan Yan thought for a moment before speaking, "By the way, Miss, when I came back just now, I passed by the woodshed and saw the Second Miss making a huge scene there, constantly cursing you. The servants guarding there said she's been like this for the past two days, always saying that you framed her..."
"You know where Granny Su is, right?"
Meng Wan didn't respond to Huan Yan's words. As if suddenly remembering something, she asked softly.
Huan Yan was taken aback, then nodded: "Ah, I know. Didn't Miss instruct me to settle her down in the suburbs last time? I did as Miss instructed."
Oh, I see.
Meng Wan lowered her eyes, her gaze hidden beneath her long eyelashes. After a long while, she suddenly raised her head and said, "Huanyan, help me change my clothes."
--
The snow was falling so heavily that the ground was wet and sticky, and every step felt like stepping into a puddle.
Huan Yan helped Meng Wan walk very slowly. Seeing her young mistress's boots sinking into the snow, she frowned slightly: "Miss, if you have anything to do, why don't you just tell me? It's freezing cold. What if she catches a cold?"
"It's alright, there are some things I have to do myself."
Meng Wan said calmly, tightening her grip on the hand warmer, but her steps became more and more determined.
Meanwhile, from afar, in the secluded woodshed, one could hear Meng Junyao's shouts coming from the courtyard. Sometimes she was cursing Meng Wan, and sometimes she was crying out that she was innocent, which was very annoying to listen to.
Huan Yan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, but Meng Wan remained calm and composed. "Open the door," she said to the servants guarding the door.
Meng Junyao was clearly taken aback by Meng Wan's arrival, and was visibly stunned for a moment. The next instant, she lunged at Meng Wan, yelling, "You dare to come here? You bitch! You framed me! You framed me—"
Huan Yan hugged her tightly. Because of the difficult days in the woodshed, Huan Yan used a little force to make her unable to move. Only then did Meng Wan look at her properly.
In just a few days, Meng Junyao, who was always glamorous, had fallen to such a state, with disheveled hair and messy clothes, and was no longer the elegant young lady she used to be.
The Scumbag Girl Revealed (Part 2)
In just a few days, Meng Junyao, who was always glamorous, had fallen to such a state, with disheveled hair and messy clothes, and was no longer the elegant young lady she used to be.
She couldn't help but smile: "You've been locked up for a few days, and you still have the energy to cause trouble. It seems that life in the woodshed suits you quite well."
Meng Junyao was furious and tried desperately to rush towards Meng Wan, but it was all in vain. She could only glare at her fiercely and shout, "Don't be so smug! It's true that I fell for your trick this time, but I won't let you succeed, I definitely won't!"
"Heh--" Meng Wan chuckled: "Well said. Then Second Sister, hurry up and think of a way to get Father to forgive you. You had an affair with a man and were caught in bed with him. Tell me, how can you make amends so that Father will forgive you again!"
"You..." Meng Junyao was furious, her whole body trembling. She punched and kicked Huan Yan without restraint. Huan Yan, in pain, let go, and Meng Junyao rushed in front of Meng Wan: "Meng Wan, you bitch, I'm going to kill you!"
He grabbed Meng Wan by the neck and shouted hoarsely that he would kill her. At this moment, the servants and Wu'er outside the door rushed over upon hearing the noise. They were obviously frightened by the situation and tried to pull Meng Junyao away while protecting Meng Wan behind them.
Wu'er hugged Meng Junyao tightly, saying, "Second Miss, please stop fooling around."
Meng Junyao couldn't break free and continued to mutter curses. Everyone who arrived witnessed Meng Junyao shouting that she wanted to kill Meng Wan.
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Meng Wan stopped arguing with her. After the servants locked Meng Junyao in the room, she returned to Zhuyun Water Pavilion with Huanyan's help. Meanwhile, the Third Madam had already heard the commotion.
"Wan'er, Wan'er—"
It's no exaggeration to say that Meng Wan and Meng Yun are the lifeblood of the Third Madam. After all, she has no children of her own, so she treats the two daughters left behind by her elder sister as her own. When she heard that the eldest young lady was almost strangled to death by the second young lady, she rushed over in a hurry.
Meng Wan was resting on the bed when she heard the Third Madam's voice and hurriedly got up. However, before she could sit up, the Third Madam held her tightly in her arms: "Quickly let your aunt take a look and see where you are hurt."
