Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

Zhuang Cuiluo was also surprised to run into Meng Dongpei. A hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she quickly turned aside to avoid him.

Meng Dongpei's attempt failed.

He stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "Cuiluo, were you avoiding me just now? You were avoiding me?"

Zhuang Cuiluo leaned closer to Chong'er, her face icy. "Young Master Meng, I'm not familiar with you."

Meng Dongpei froze, his face showing hurt. "Cuiluo, are you angry with me? Are you angry that I left you and came to the capital?"

"Cuiluo, let me explain. I thought you were dead. I was really heartbroken. I heard about the Zhuang family's accident that day, and I drank all night and cried. Cuiluo, I thought I would never see you again."

Zhuang Cuiluo's face turned ashen.

She was disgusted.

Many people present fell silent.

"Zhuang Cuiluo, don't be ungrateful. It's an honor that Young Master Meng remembers you. What are you still making a scene for?"

Zhuang Dali pointed at Zhuang Cuiluo, his face full of reproach.

Zhuang Cuiluo glanced at him, her eyes icy.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Chong'er tugged at her and said, "Cuiluo, you're our princess's person now, so don't embarrass her by looking so wronged."

Zhuang Cuiluo glanced at Chong'er and received an approving look from him.

Zhuang Cuiluo immediately felt emboldened and slapped Zhuang Dali across the face: "Zhuang Dali, if you like being Meng Dongpei's dog so much, then you can be it yourself. I'm not serving you!"

Cuiluo used all her strength in that slap, as if she wanted to release all the pent-up emotions she had accumulated over the years.

Zhuang Dali covered his bruised face, staring at Zhuang Cuiluo in disbelief.

"Zhuang Cuiluo, how dare you hit me?" Zhuang Dali roared.

Zhuang Cuiluo sneered, and was met with another slap in response.

Zhuang Cuiluo shook off her sore hand, feeling incredibly pleased. "Zhuang Dali, the entire Zhuang family is dead. Do you still think you have someone backing you up and ordering me around?"

Zhuang Dali trembled violently.

Meng Dongpei was also stunned. He looked at Zhuang Cuiluo in shock and said, "Cuiluo, what happened to you? Why did you hit your brother?"

Snap!

Zhuang Cuiluo slapped Meng Dongpei across the face and sneered, "What, you're not happy that I hit him but not you? I'll grant your wish!"

Meng Dongpei covered his burning face and stared blankly at Zhuang Cuiluo.

"Cuiluo, have you gone mad...?"

He couldn't believe that the usually docile Zhuang Cuiluo would hit him!

Zhuang Cuiluo made no attempt to hide the disdain in her eyes; she had long wanted to express her inner emotions in this way.

"Meng Dongpei, I didn't know you were such a stupid and wicked person when I saved you."

If I had known earlier, I would never have saved you; I would have let that wild beast carry you away and eat you.

Upon hearing these words, Meng Dongpei staggered, his face turning pale.

"Cuiluo, how could you do this to me? We truly love each other..."

"Pah! Who's truly in love with you? If you hadn't given the Zhuang family money, and they hadn't forced me to serve you, do you think I'd even give you a second glance?"

Meng Dongpei was shocked and completely stunned.

Zhuang Cuiluo sneered: "You stupid thing, I was the one who saved you, and you clearly saw with your own eyes that I was not doing well in the Zhuang family, but you gave the money to the Zhuang family to repay the debt of gratitude, and instead treated me like a servant girl to be ordered around."

Who truly loves you? Did you hit your head when you fell down the hillside?

"Cuiluo, how could you think of me like that... How can you be so sharp-tongued and snobbish? You're clearly a kind and gentle girl!"

Tears streamed slowly down Meng Dongpei's face, a look of deep emotion and sorrow.

"Cuiluo, for you, I even bought a house in the south of the city. I thought you would live there, and I would visit you every few days. We would spend our lives like that, but you...you..."

Snapped!

Zhuang Cuiluo raised her hand and slapped him again.

"Young Master Meng, please don't tarnish my reputation here. Although I, Zhuang Cuiluo, am a peasant girl, I have principles. In this life, I, Zhuang Cuiluo, will either not marry or I will be someone's wife."

"You're insulting me like this here, do you think I, Zhuang Cuiluo, am easy to bully?"

Chong'er stepped forward and said, "Hmph, Cuiluo is my princess's personal maid. I'd like to see who dares to bully someone close to the princess!"

"Cuiluo, how could you become someone else's maid..."

Meng Dongpei glanced at Chong'er with displeasure.

Zhuang Cuiluo approached Meng Dongpei and lowered her voice, saying, "The greatest good deed your Meng family has ever done is killing members of the Zhuang family. Consider it my way of repaying you for saving me."

Meng Dongpei's eyes widened instantly, and the blood in his body seemed to freeze at that moment.

He looked at Zhuang Cuiluo, who was so unfamiliar to him, and the coldness and hatred in her eyes made him tremble with fear.

Zhuang Cuiluo took a few steps back, tears suddenly welling up in her eyes: "Zhuang Dali, Zhuang Dagang, you two bastards! The Meng family killed our whole family, and you still want to be their dogs."

"If you're willing to be a dog for your enemy, then go ahead and be one. I, Zhuang Cuiluo, will never show any kindness to my enemy!"

Those who were watching the spectacle sighed and cast sympathetic yet admiring glances at Zhuang Cuiluo.

On the other hand, Zhuang Dali and Zhuang Dagang were often looked down upon.

Zhuang Cuiluo cried out, "I kindly saved you, but you tarnished my reputation. Your Meng family looked down on my peasant background, so you not only killed me to silence me, but also killed my whole family."

"Your Meng family has repaid kindness with enmity. I have already presented my grievances to the Emperor. His Majesty is wise and will surely uphold justice for us."

"Zhuang Cuiluo, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Zhuang Dali and Zhuang Dagang panicked. They were counting on Zhuang Cuiluo becoming Meng Dongpei's mistress so they could profit from it.

With Zhuang Cuiluo acting so recklessly, how are they going to live their lives from now on?

"Zhuang Cuiluo, your family members all died in accidents. What does that have to do with the Meng family? The reason you're making such a scene is simply because Young Master Meng is unwilling to take you as a concubine!"

Zhuang Dali grabbed Zhuang Cuiluo tightly, as if he wanted to break her wrist.

Zhuang Cuiluo looked at him, her contempt growing stronger. She suddenly laughed and said, "If the Zhuang family saw how filial you are, they would probably be so angry they would die again."

Zhuang Dali's eyes flickered guiltily.

Meng Dongpei's eyes flickered slightly. He looked at Zhuang Cuiluo with a pained expression: "Cuiluo, it's not that I'm unwilling to take you into the manor, but your status is simply too low."

For the sake of you being my savior, I will defy all opposition and take you as my concubine.

"Cuiluo, please stop fooling around, okay?"

"Zhuang Cuiluo, Young Master Meng has already said so, what excuses are you still using? Becoming Young Master Meng's concubine would make you an official's wife, which is better than being someone else's maid. You should think this through!"

Zhuang Dali tightened his grip on Zhuang Cuiluo's arm.

A dark glint flashed in Zhuang Cuiluo's eyes. "Since you're so eager to curry favor with Meng Dongpei, how about this: you sign a contract, and from then on, you'll be members of the Meng family?"

Zhuang Dali and Zhuang Dagang were startled, a hint of smugness flashing in their eyes.

They looked at Meng Dongpei expectantly.

Meng Dongpei also looked at Zhuang Cuiluo. It turned out that she was making such a fuss in order to give Zhuang Dali and Zhuang Dagang a job.

He was overjoyed and immediately waved his hand, ordering someone to bring paper and pen.

A hint of surprise flashed across Xiao Baoyu's face, who had previously punched Zhuang Dali.

He looked at Zhuang Cuiluo, feeling inexplicably afraid.

That girl is ruthless.

The Meng family has been surrounded by the Thousand Feather Army, and their property is being ransacked. Meng Huaran and Meng Zhenxiao have also been imprisoned.

Not a single fly could escape the Meng family, from top to bottom. Zhuang Dali and Zhuang Dagang signed the contract at this point, and that was it, everything was over.
