It's not just a problem, it's a huge problem. This Su nanny is someone close to the Second Miss, and the Second Miss is usually very close to the Eldest Miss. Why would she take her anger out on someone close to her?
All eyes were on Meng Wan and Meng Junyao, and for a moment they didn't know whether to advance or retreat.
"What? Didn't you understand what I said!" Meng Wan suddenly lowered her voice, the cold smile on her lips disappeared, and she replaced it with an indifferent expression.
Seeing this, the servants dared not say anything more and hurriedly stepped forward to pull him away.
Meng Junyao finally came to her senses. "Sister, why are you punishing Granny Su for no reason? What did she do wrong?"
"Heh--What did I do wrong? Was it wrong to push me off the attic? Or do you only consider it a big deal if you kill me?" Meng Wan said calmly, raising an eyebrow at Meng Junyao.
Meng Junyao suddenly paused, meeting Meng Wan's ambiguous smile. She was stunned for a moment, and a faint panic arose beneath those dark eyes.
"Take her away now!" Meng Wanfang said again, and only then did Granny Su regain her senses. She immediately threw herself at Meng Wanfang's feet: "Young Miss, Young Miss, please investigate! I didn't, I didn't push you off the pavilion! Second Miss, Second Miss! Save me, save me!"
Teaching a lesson to a wicked servant (Part 3)
"Slap!" Amidst the cries, another slap landed, this time even more severe than the previous one. Instantly, the already swollen face bulged up, the hair became slightly disheveled, and blood even oozed out.
Everyone was stunned, not daring to even breathe loudly, for fear of getting burned. For a moment, the huge courtyard was eerily silent.
Meng Wan tightened the cloak that Huan Yan had helped her wrap around herself, glanced down at Granny Su, and sneered, "What are you still calling yourself Second Miss now? You've done something wrong, are you trying to drag your sister down with you?"
Her words seemed to have a hidden meaning. Meng Junyao, who originally wanted to plead for her, could no longer say anything. Looking at Meng Wan's face, she felt a surge of panic.
Could it be that Meng Wan has truly discovered something by saying this?
Thinking about it this way, I started to panic.
Although she wanted to kill Meng Wan, she knew that she couldn't do it openly because of her status as an illegitimate child. So she could only do some underhanded things behind the scenes. If it were to be brought up in public, she would be very afraid.
Thinking of this, she quickly stepped forward and slapped Granny Su's old face hard: "Useless thing, still have the nerve to cry now. Think carefully, could it be that you accidentally pushed my sister and caused her to fall? If that's the case, then quickly apologize to my sister. My sister is always the most soft-hearted, and she might even spare your dog's life!"
"Second Miss, this servant—" Granny Su froze, then looked up and met Meng Junyao's gaze. She immediately understood, crawled to Meng Wan's feet on her knees, grabbed her legs, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Eldest Miss, spare me! This servant didn't mean it. That day, it was indeed an accident. Please forgive this servant!"
Crying and begging for mercy at the top of her lungs, Meng Junyao also squeezed out a few tears at the right time, and kept blaming herself in Meng Wan's ear for her poor parenting, causing her sister to suffer, and so on.
Meng Wan smiled gently as she watched the two women putting on an act, her beautiful eyes filled with mockery: "Granny Su is Second Sister's person. I originally wanted to forgive her, but without rules, there can be no order. Did you expect me to fall like this for nothing? Besides, she's so unreliable. She actually managed to 'accidentally' push me down the stairs. I really don't feel comfortable leaving her by Second Sister's side to take care of me."
She deliberately emphasized the word "accidentally," leaving Meng Junyao speechless. Looking at Meng Wan in front of her, it was really hard to connect her with the mild-mannered person she remembered.
Meng Wan didn't give her a chance to react. After saying that with a forced smile, she turned to Huan Yan and said, "Later, arrange two capable people to serve Second Sister at Yingyue Pavilion. As for Granny Su, drag her away!"
Upon hearing this, Granny Su wailed again. Meng Junyao wanted to say something more, but seeing Meng Wan's unwilling attitude, she dared not make any further moves and could only watch helplessly as Granny Su was dragged out, her face full of resentment.
Meng Wan stood there, her gaze sweeping lightly over Meng Junyao's face, revealing her unwilling yet helpless expression. At this moment, Meng Wan smiled instead.
So this is what it feels like to make your enemy suffer!
And this is just the beginning. Meng Junyao, Huangfu Qian, and all those who have made her suffer—in this life, she will drag them out one by one, and then, little by little, slowly torture them!
She clenched her fists, her eyes gleaming with hatred.
Relatives (Part 1)
When the Third Madam sent someone to summon Meng Wan, she was not surprised at all.
Granny Su was Meng Junyao's confidante, and she often helped Meng Junyao with her little schemes. To Meng Junyao, Granny Su was even closer than her own mother, so getting rid of her was tantamount to taking her life.
However, Meng Wan had already dealt with Granny Su, and Meng Junyao always presented herself as weak and delicate, so she naturally couldn't go against Meng Wan at this moment. After thinking it over, she could only go to the Third Madam for help.
The Third Madam was the younger sister of the First Madam of the Meng family, and Meng Wan's paternal aunt. In her youth, she had high standards and was unwilling to marry ordinary men, thus delaying her marriage.
After the First Madam passed away, the Third Madam married into the family in order to take care of her two daughters left behind by her elder sister.
Because her appearance and temperament were about 70-80% similar to the Third Madam, she was very much liked by the Prime Minister. In addition, among the Prime Minister's three wives and concubines, the First Madam had passed away early, and the Second Madam, who was Meng Junyao's birth mother, was frail and sickly and rarely went out. Therefore, all the affairs of the mansion, big and small, were handed over to the Third Madam.
When Meng Wan left, Meng Junyao was sobbing on the Third Madam's lap. Hearing footsteps, she turned around and saw Meng Wan. She pretended to be flustered and stood up, calling out "Sister." But tears continued to fall incessantly, making her look extremely pitiful.
"Second sister, you're here too." Meng Wan said calmly, her tone so even that it didn't reveal anything unusual, but a cold smile rose in her heart.
What a beautiful picture of a woman shedding tears! She knew her aunt was most susceptible to this kind of act, which is why she came here to play the victim.
Although the Third Madam was arrogant when she was young, she became much more settled after marriage. In addition, due to her kind nature, she not only took care of Meng Wan and her third sister Meng Yun, but also pitied Meng Junyao, whose birth mother was seriously ill and unable to take care of her. Therefore, Meng Junyao would often come to the Third Madam to pretend to be pitiful.
Meng Wan snorted inwardly. In her previous life, she was foolish enough to be completely deceived. But now that she had been given a second chance at life, how could she let Meng Junyao pretend to gain sympathy again?
She immediately raised an eyebrow: "Why are you crying like this? Are you still sad about Granny Su's matter?"
"I..." Unexpectedly, she was taken aback by the direct question. She stammered twice but did not reply. Instead, she turned to look at the Third Madam, who still had that gentle and weak appearance.
Seeing this, the Third Madam beckoned to Meng Wan. After Meng Wan sat down beside her, she reached out and touched the slightly red spot on Meng Wan's forehead: "I didn't know until you told me. I thought it was just a common bump and bruise. Now that I see it, it's really quite a serious injury. Look at how swollen your forehead is. It's truly heartbreaking."
Warm fingertips stroked Meng Wan's forehead, and feeling her aunt's unique scent, Meng Wan's chest tightened, and tears almost fell.
Her mother passed away early, and if it weren't for her aunt taking care of her and her third sister, the two of them might have been destitute and helpless. Therefore, she was extremely grateful to her aunt.
Later, her father was exiled, and her aunt went with him. For the next year, she did not see the elderly couple again. Now, when she saw her aunt again, she was still the same as she remembered, with the same gentle and loving smile as before. How could she control her emotions?
Her eyes were brimming with tears, and she could barely hold them back.
Relatives (Part Two)
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Should we call the doctor to take a look?" The Third Madam saw Meng Wan staring blankly at her and assumed that something was wrong, so her concern deepened.
Meng Wanfang snapped out of her daze and quickly suppressed her surging emotions. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine, just a bit of a headache, but I can manage. Aunt, don't worry."
Upon hearing this, the Third Madam felt slightly relieved, but her gaze remained fixed on Meng Wan.
