After the divorce, I was adorned in a phoenix robe, while my ex-husband's entire family dug up

"You betrayed my sister, and now you're going to betray me! I have no sister anymore, my brother is seriously ill, and now even you are treating me like this..."

"Your Highness! Something terrible has happened!"

Yun Ce rushed in, looking very anxious, but after hearing what Xiao Mengxi said and seeing her current state, he pursed his lips and still chose to walk to the prince's side, saying softly, "Your Highness, something has happened to the eldest son of the Xiao family."

Seeing that Miss Xiao was truly heartbroken, he knew that if he knew the news now, it might upset her and she might do something foolish. So he went directly to tell the prince, without mentioning the news to Miss Xiao.

Pei Yi was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes, and his eyes were filled with a trace of sorrow.

His gaze shifted to Xiao Mengxi, and at that moment, he wavered.

If it really was him, how distressed Xiao Mengxi must be. With so much news piled up, she probably wouldn't be able to cope.

I promise you.

Xiao Mengxi was still crying when the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and she was still unsure if she had misheard.

"What did you say? Brother Yi, what did you say?"

Pei Yi sighed. "I said I would take responsibility."

Regardless of whether it was true or not, at this critical juncture, he couldn't hurt Xiao Mengxi's feelings any further. If it was his doing, he should take responsibility; if not, he should at least repay Xiao Mengxi's elder sister for her kindness.

"Really?! You're really going to care about me? You can't back out, you're not kidding, are you? You're serious!"

Xiao Mengxi's face was still wet with tears, but her sorrow had vanished, replaced by an overly excited smile, like a child who had just received candy.

Pei Yi nodded, paused, and said:

"I'm going to the Xiao residence to speak with your father. You should also go back."

He didn't say anything else, just told her to go back.

Meng House.

"I've made myself perfectly clear. If you're content to spend your whole lives being beaten in the Meng mansion while watching your enemies live a carefree life outside, then consider my trip here in vain."

Wei Jiaruo casually sipped her tea, raising an eyebrow as she looked at the Lu sisters, who were covered in wounds.

Lu Jieyue trembled all over and looked at Lu Jieshuang.

Lu Jieshuang said, "What's the point of harming her? Do you think we'll get out of here?"

Wei Jiaruo said, "I can arrange for you two sisters to escape. Don't forget who first introduced the Crown Prince to your brother. Based on my relationship with the Crown Prince, even your brother and Lord Meng will have to give me some face."

"All you need to do is point them out, and I will never let you suffer. Have you forgotten? Wei Zhaoning was also reborn, and she watched you jump into the fire with her own eyes. Now that you are in such a miserable state, she doesn't care at all. How do you feel?"

Even if I indirectly harmed you, I'm not as heartless as Wei Zhaoning. I still feel somewhat sad looking at you two sisters.

"I could have found someone else to do this, and the result would have been the same, so why did I come all the way to the Meng residence in person? Isn't it because I still care about you all? You can't be so blind as to see who's sincere and who's not, can you?"

If Wei Jiaruo lied, the chances of success would be much greater if the two sisters were to identify her, as they would be far more convincing than those unknown individuals.

After all, Lu Jieyue and Lu Jieshuang had attended the welcoming banquet, and the matter was indeed true. Having them identify the source would save the servants a lot of trouble in the identification and investigation process.

Lu Jieyue's eyes were bloodshot as she looked at the marks on her body and recalled Wei Zhaoning's ruthless and indifferent demeanor. Her emotions began to surge violently.

At the welcome banquet that day, Meng Yun brought her along for the first time ever. Although he didn't let her show her face in front of others, it was the only time she would appear in the public eye.

She didn't know why Meng Yun wanted to take her along, but she was too exhausted to run anymore, so she obediently stayed by Meng Yun's side.

It's ironic that when you want to run, you can't, and when you can run, you have no strength at all. It's not that your body lacks strength, but that you feel helpless.

That day, she saw Wei Zhaoning. She only wanted to go up to Wei Zhaoning and say one thing: ask her if she had really been reborn, ask her why she was so cruel, and why she watched the two sisters jump into the fire pit.

She stepped forward with "Blue Sparrow," but to her surprise, Wei Zhaoning avoided her like the plague. From a distance, upon seeing her figure, Wei Zhaoning turned and left without looking back.

Once or twice could be considered a coincidence, perhaps she didn't see it, but three, four, or five times, the answer is self-evident; her actions had already told them the answer.

How could I not hate it?

Some people know what will happen to you in the future, but they just watch you make a fool of yourself and enjoy the ugly side of you after you make a mistake.

In that instant, both of them actually had murderous intent, especially when they thought about how Meng Yun had whipped them every time these days, and the hatred that aroused them was projected onto Wei Zhaoning.

Even just a reminder from her would have been appreciated.

Not a single word! They even encouraged it, watching them make the wrong choice and wholeheartedly supporting it!

Now that she sees the two sisters being beaten every day, she doesn't even flinch. Does she have a heart at all?

But after the emotions subside, the two of them still think about Wei Zhaoning's fate in their previous life, and a trace of guilt remains deep in their hearts. So what can they do if they hate each other? They also made mistakes.

Their hearts suddenly wavered, sometimes feeling that they were in the wrong, and sometimes feeling that it was all Wei Zhaoning's fault, that she was too heartless.

But now, Wei Jiaruo has thrown out an even bigger bait.

She said she could help them escape!

This is something Wei Zhaoning has never done, nor does she want to do!

The scales have tipped, tilting towards the side filled with hatred and evil, all because of Wei Zhaoning's ruthlessness!

They owe their current situation to Wei Zhaoning!

Even though they all knew the truth of the matter and how much fault Wei Zhaoning had, faced with immense temptation, they tacitly condemned Wei Zhaoning.

Those are freshmen.

The two people were so emotional that their faces turned red, and their lifeless eyes became bright and alert again.

Lu Jieshuang said, "How can I trust you? What if you don't keep your promise after it's done?"

Wei Jiaruo pondered for a moment, "I'm not sure how to prove it either. It's up to you to decide. If you don't trust me, just pretend I was never here today."

She spoke with confidence because she knew that these two people were at their wits' end and had no other choice.

Lu Jieshuang frowned and looked at Lu Jieyue.

Wei Jiaruo ate her pastries with confidence and said, "Think it over carefully. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I'm going back to take a nap. Hopefully, when I wake up, I can start arranging for you to leave the Meng residence."
