The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

"Damn it! Next time I see him, I will teach him a lesson. He has no manners at all. My body... is very delicate after all, and he actually ignored me." Meng Jinyao was so angry that she stomped her feet. Her delicate face turned red with anger, like a ripe apple.

Her big watery eyes were filled with anger at this moment, and she kept muttering in a sharp and rapid voice.

She paced back and forth in the room, her skirt swaying with her movements, like an angry bird trapped in a cage, eager to break free and take revenge on the person who made her so angry.

In fact, even she herself could hardly explain what she was feeling at the moment.

To say that it was pure discomfort didn't seem entirely accurate; to say that it wasn't discomfort, the stuffiness in her chest was real, like a tangled mess that made her irritable and confused.

Even because of Run Nanji's matter, Meng Jinyao had vaguely forgotten about Ling Yan's matter.

Run Nanji's stubborn and somewhat provocative face kept appearing in her mind, temporarily squeezing Ling Yan's handsome figure out of her thoughts.

Every expression and every word of Runanji was like a sharp knife, constantly piercing her proud heart and making it difficult for her to let go.

Meng Jincheng walked into the room with steady and powerful steps. His tall figure instantly blocked the light coming in from the window, making the atmosphere in the room instantly become solemn.

Seeing his sister so angry and out of control, his eyes darkened, his brows slightly furrowed, and he asked in a low voice: "Sister, what's wrong?"

Meng Jinyao was startled by the sudden voice. She turned around abruptly and said coquettishly, "Brother... why are you here? You didn't even tell me in advance and scared me."

There was surprise in her eyes, but also a hint of dissatisfaction at being disturbed.

In fact, because she was distracted just now, Meng Jinyao felt as if a secret had been discovered in her heart. Her expression became nervous and her eyes became evasive. She didn't dare to look directly at her eldest brother, for fear that he would see through her true thoughts.

Meng Jincheng had no intention of exploring his sister's thoughts at this moment. He only wanted to know Ling Yan's physical condition.

So he asked anxiously, "Have you completed the tasks I asked you to do? Is the emperor in good health?"

His eyes were fixed on Meng Jinyao, looking forward to her answer, his expression serious and focused.

Meng Jinyao nodded slightly, put away the anger on her face, put on a well-behaved look, and said softly: "I went in, the emperor was sitting in front of the desk reading a book, there was no problem with anything else."

Her voice was soft, as if she was telling a trivial matter.

Having said this, Meng Jincheng felt much more at ease. He nodded with satisfaction, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said, "Yes, you did a good job on this matter."

His tone was full of appreciation and relief.

Hearing the praise from her elder brother, Meng Jinyao felt very happy in her heart, and the suppressed emotions instantly dissipated a lot.

She felt that this was a rare opportunity, so she took the opportunity to say, "Brother, since I have done something for you, what about the house arrest? What do you think..."

Her eyes were full of anticipation as she carefully observed her eldest brother's expression. Her hands unconsciously twisted the corners of her clothes, and she seemed a little uneasy.

Meng Jincheng naturally understood his thoughts, frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said: "Of course, you can go wherever you want in the future, but there is one thing... you'd better not go to the emperor's place."

His tone was serious and firm, and he did not allow for any rebuttal.

But even so, Meng Jinyao was not in a good mood.

In her heart, the only one who is worthy of her is Ling Yan, and her eldest brother's obstruction makes her feel reluctant.

She raised her head stubbornly and wanted to refute, but when she saw her brother's serious expression, she swallowed the words back.

She bit her lip, a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes, but she finally nodded helplessly and replied: "I know, brother."

Meng Jincheng was very happy that she was now so tactful. He patted her shoulder and said earnestly, "I'm glad you understand. I have things to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, he turned around and hurried away to prepare for the banquet.

However, he didn't know that Ling Yan had already arrived at the villa.

Xue Jinhua had just sent Ximei away and was sitting on a stone bench in the yard.

The sunlight shone on her body, but failed to dispel the sadness between her brows.

At this moment, she felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. The dull pain made her frown slightly, and one hand unconsciously touched her abdomen.

She was about to call Ximei, but the uncomfortable feeling in her stomach disappeared inexplicably.

When she stood up, she wanted to go out for a walk and stretch her muscles.

I took a few steps and saw the flowers at the door swaying slightly.

Her heart tightened, and just as she was about to ask, she suddenly saw a familiar face emerge from the flowers.

It’s Ling Yan.

An indescribable joy suddenly welled up in Xue Jinhua's heart. That joy was like a flower blooming in spring, instantly lighting up her eyes.

But soon, this joy was mixed with a trace of worry, "Ling Yan, why are you here? Didn't you say that we would talk about it at the banquet tomorrow?"

Her voice was soft and urgent, her eyes full of concern and worry.

Although she was very happy to see Ling Yan, she also had to consider the dangers involved.

After all, Ling Yan was taking a huge risk by coming here at this time.

Ling Yan walked out of the flowers quickly, came to Xue Jinhua, and held her hand. His eyes were full of tenderness and concern, and he comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm paying attention. Even if Meng Jincheng is anxious now, he won't come to find me. I just want to see you and the child, and discuss tomorrow's matter."

His voice was deep and magnetic, and seemed to have a reassuring power.

"Tomorrow?" Xue Jinhua looked puzzled, her beautiful face full of worry, her two curved eyebrows were tightly furrowed together.

"Well, Meng Jincheng has come to find out the truth today. I'm afraid that since the banquet will be held tomorrow, he will definitely take action, so I'm worried about you." Ling Yan's expression was solemn, his eyes were full of worry, and his voice unconsciously became low.

His eyes were deep and worried, as if he had already seen the impending crisis.

Xue Jinhua didn't expect things to develop so quickly, but Ling Yan pulled her and said firmly: "No matter what, if we stay here for too long, the danger will increase. So no matter what happens tomorrow, we must leave."

His expression was firm and unquestionable.

Xue Jinhua naturally understood the risks, but still asked, "Then how do we go?"

Her eyes were full of confusion and anxiety.

"I'll let Lord Run take you back first. Lord Zhang is waiting over there. You will be safe." Ling Yan said anxiously, looking at Xue Jinhua with a firm gaze.

Xue Jinhua then realized that Ling Yan didn't want to wait any longer and wanted to send her away first.

She was naturally unwilling at this time, and said anxiously: "Ling Yan, don't do this, we agreed to share life and death, and we still need to find out what Meng Jincheng wants to do. Now we just need to proceed according to the original plan."

There was a hint of anxiety and stubbornness in her voice.

Ling Yan naturally understood her thoughts, but he was unwilling to let her continue to be in danger. "Hua Hua, Meng Jincheng is too cunning. I am really afraid that something will go wrong at this critical moment. Now, I just want to protect you well. I don't ask for anything else."

His tone was full of helplessness and worry.

Xue Jinhua frowned, and the two of them were deadlocked on this topic.

She inexplicably felt annoyed in her heart, and she couldn't help but pause and said, "Ling Yan, we can still discuss this matter."

There was determination and persistence in her eyes.

Ling Yan's attitude was unusually firm. "Hua Hua, I've thought about the whole thing before I went back. I can let you do anything else, but not this one."

His expression was serious and he showed no sign of backing down.

Seeing that he still didn't give in, Xue Jinhua was actually starting to get anxious.

She bit her lip and said, "Ling Yan, you can't be so arbitrary, we..."

While the two were arguing, they didn't realize that someone had come outside.

Ximei was originally guarding the door, but she didn't expect that the city lord's wife would come.

She was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she instinctively wanted to scream, but after being silent for a long while, she realized that she couldn't open her mouth at all.

She was so panicked that her legs went weak and she could only kneel down immediately.

When the city lord's wife saw Ximei, she naturally knew that Xue Jinhua was inside, but she still pretended not to know and asked, "Ximei, where is the madam?"

There was a hint of authority in her voice.

Ximei pursed her lips, her eyes full of fear, but she didn't dare to speak.

The city lord's wife frowned slightly, and she already understood about 70% of it.

Tracy, who was standing by, realized something was wrong, and reached out to lift Ximei's chin, saying sternly, "Are you dumb? You didn't even know how to speak when the mayor's wife asked you a question?"

Her expression was ferocious and chilling.

But Ximei still didn't say anything. She just lowered her head indifferently, her body shaking constantly.

Tracy observed carefully and found the clue. She said, "Madam, Ximei's tongue has been cut off."

There was surprise and fear in her voice.

The city lord's wife was horrified and took two steps back, thinking to herself: if the tongue is cut off, it means that I can't speak.

The city lord could be so cruel for the sake of Madam Xue.

Her face tensed, but she didn't hesitate and walked straight inside.

But to prevent any accidents, she just asked Tracy to guard the door.

When she walked into the room and saw Xue Jinhua and Ling Yan hugging each other, she was so scared that the handkerchief in her hand almost fell to the ground.

Xue Jinhua realized that someone was there and subconsciously let go of Ling Yan.

When the two men came to their senses, they saw the city lord's wife.

“You…you…”

The city lord's wife naturally knew Ling Yan, and she immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, your servant greets you."

Her voice was trembling and full of fear.

Ling Yan was not afraid because he already knew that the city lord's wife was the one who secretly sent the letter to him.

"Madam City Lord, you know everything?" Ling Yan asked with a cold face, his expression serious and majestic.

Although there was no specific explanation, he knew that the city lord's wife understood it.

Sure enough, the city lord's wife's expression changed slightly, and she knelt down again, "Your Majesty, please calm down. The city lord was just confused for a moment and did such a thing." Her voice was full of pleading.

Xue Jinhua looked at the city lord on the ground and an idea suddenly occurred to her. Ling Yan looked at Xue Jinhua's face and instantly understood her thoughts.
