The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 794: Don’t Back Down

"What if Yaoyao fails to become the Crown Princess next year?" Shang expressed her concerns.

Meng Zhidu glanced at Shang and slowly put down his bowl and chopsticks.

Meng Shisan is not the original mortal Meng Liangchen, but a half-demon with a powerful demon soul. Her thoughts and ideas are different from those of ordinary girls. She does not want to marry and be trapped in the harem for the rest of her life. She also has another layer of thoughts.

That is what Shang just asked Meng Zhidu.

Meng Shisan didn't know about the conversation between her uncle and aunt. She always felt that what she could think of, others could also think of, including her patron Li Shou.

Li Shou never considered this as a concern, nor did he even mention it. He just wanted to make sure of her wishes.

Naturally, she did not want to marry into the Eastern Palace, or even into any high-ranking family. Her idea was very simple. Since she had already occupied the body of the original owner and had to live on as the original owner, she just wanted to live her life in the original owner's place.

The rest was not what she had expected.

She didn't have to think about it.

As a great demon, she would have to return to her original body sooner or later, so it was totally unnecessary for her to think about these mortal matters.

However, the rest of the Meng family, except Meng Shisan himself, had to think carefully about this issue.

Meng Meijing had heard Meng Shisan talk to her about the contest between Li Shou and Li Heng in recent days, in which the Meng family was involved. Even Meng Shisan was intentionally transferred by Cui Yu to be involved in the Dengshan collapse incident, and became a target that Li Heng wanted to kill... and so on.

It took her a long time to come back to her senses.

This was because Meng Shisan took into consideration that Meng Meijing was still young, and before she could really break things down, she was already completely frightened.

Until the lights were turned on and dinner was over, Meng Meijing still looked like she was still digesting something, but she was in a much better state than at the beginning. The dazed look on her face was gone, replaced by an expression of someone trying hard to figure things out.

Meng Shisan watched the whole process and did not let Meng Meijing go back to her own courtyard. Meng Meijing was quietly smoothing the ball of thread in her mind, and she sat quietly beside her.

From the time the lights went down until the time they finished dinner, she never said a word to Meng Meijing.

There are some things that you have to figure out and sort out yourself. The opinions of others can only be auxiliary and cannot play a major role.

Otherwise, something bad will happen at the critical moment.

Mrs. Wu couldn't wait for Meng Meijing to return to the courtyard for dinner, and later learned that she had dinner with Meng Shisan in Taichen Courtyard, so she didn't ask any more questions.

At night, when everyone was asleep, Meng Meijing followed behind Meng Shisan, following him closely.

Meng Shisan did not go back to the dormitory directly, but went to Feng Zheng's room: "Are you really coming?"

After she recalled what she had told her eldest sister, her eldest sister thought about it from day to month, and expressions of shock and fear kept flashing on her face. If she really followed her to see Feng Zheng's injuries, although Feng Zheng's injuries had mostly healed, the hideous scars were still there.

…Don’t be so horrified after watching it that you dare not even leave the house from now on. “Yes.” Meng Meijing answered with great confidence.

This was quite unexpected for Meng Shisan: "Really?"

"Sister said that you and I are both daughters of the Meng family. We were born into a wealthy family and grew up in an aristocratic family. We have enjoyed wealth and glory, but we must also bear the consequences accordingly..." The consequences were too cruel. Meng Meijing became hoarse while speaking. She was still very scared and didn't even want to say it out loud, fearing that it would bring bad luck. But even so, she couldn't back down, "Sister, I have to face these things one day."

Her mother had only ever taught her how to marry into a wealthy family after she reached the age of 15, and how to be cunning and careful in the inner house to protect herself. But she had never told her, like her elder sister, about the life-and-death struggle for power among the men outside the mansion.

Meng Shisan turned around and looked deeply at Meng Meijing who lowered her head to answer her, and nodded slightly: "It's only a matter of time."

"So..." Meng Meijing raised her head, Meng Shisan had already turned back. She looked at her elder sister's hair scattered on her shoulders, "Sister, there are some things you didn't tell me before..."

"Hmm." Meng Shisan hummed softly before Meng Meijing finished speaking. She knew what her younger sister wanted to say, "You are still young."

Some things are too cruel, and being able to be more naive for a few years is a kind of happiness.

"Sister is not that old." Meng Meijing muttered. Seeing that her elder sister did not respond, she raised her voice slightly and repeated, "Sister changed after she reached the age of 15... Can you tell me the reason?"

This question has been asked by more than one person, and Meng Shisan has answered it more than once: "I have told your great aunt, and your great aunt must have told your mother. I think your mother has also told you what she knows. Since you have already heard it, why ask again?"

She said firmly.

Meng Meijing nodded and then shook her head: "It's different!"

Meng Shisan found it interesting, so he simply stopped and turned around: "What's the difference?"

"The reasons my elder sister told my grandmother and my aunt, and the reasons my mother knew, were all excuses my elder sister used, right?" Although Meng Meijing's brain was not as smart as Meng Shisan's, it was fast. After the power struggles that her elder sister had described to her in detail today, and her elder sister's sudden change this year, she suddenly figured this out as she walked all the way to the servants' room.

It's fine to be confused in the past, but now that I have figured it out, how can I not ask for clarification?

She wanted her elder sister to tell her the truth!
After eight months of getting along, it was almost the end of the year. Meng Shisan had to admit that the changes in Meng Meijing's younger sister during this period were visibly for the better, and had developed to the point that she was ready to look at her in the eye.

I was able to detect her appearances that were used to cover up the truth in such a short period of time.

"Sister?"

"If you still want to know the real reason after seeing the scars on the kite, I will tell you."

Meng Meijing got an affirmative answer from Meng Shisan and nodded heavily in agreement.

Although she had not seen Feng Zheng's injuries yet, she thought that she had seen Baozhu's injuries. She had even seen Baozhu's left hand with broken bones and was not afraid. She would certainly not be afraid of Feng Zheng's injuries!

As if seeing Meng Meijing's optimism, Meng Shisan felt that it was too early for his younger sister to relax, so he reminded her: "Compared to Baozhu's injury, Fengzheng's injury is much more serious."

He paused and added, "Let me put it this way. If it weren't for the Chang'an Medical Association, Baozhu's left hand could have been saved under the full treatment of Yu Xiaotaiyi, and with a bit of luck, but Fengzheng's injury is different. The reason why I didn't ask Yu Xiaotaiyi to come to my house to treat Fengzheng is because I know very well that even if Yu Xiaotaiyi tried his best and had a bit of luck, Fengzheng's injury would not be healed under Yu Xiaotaiyi's hands."
