After dinner, Meng Kexin waited in the house for Aunt Liu to come back, but she didn't come back no matter how long she waited. Meng Kexin realized that something must have happened to Aunt Liu.

"Cui'er, go to the kitchen and see why Aunt Liu hasn't come back yet!"

"Yes! Miss."

At this moment, a piece of paper was thrown into the room by someone using internal force and fell into Cui'er's needlework basket.

Cui Er picked it up and saw a few words written on the paper in a flamboyant style: "Mrs. Liu was beaten with a stick by the Madam." Her heart tightened, and she quickly picked up the paper and rushed to Meng Kexin like an arrow, shouting in panic, "Miss, it's bad, Mrs. Liu was beaten."

Meng Kexin looked at the piece of paper Cui'er was waving in her hand, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: "Cui'er, where did this piece of paper come from? How did it suddenly appear here?"

Cui Er shook her head in confusion and replied anxiously, "I don't know either. I was embroidering just now when this piece of paper flew in from the window as if it had fallen from the sky."

Meng Kexin followed Cui'er's gaze and looked out the window, muttering to herself, "Could it be him? Or maybe it's just a coincidence..."

However, time was running out and saving people was a matter of urgency, so she couldn't afford to think it over. So, without saying a word, she rushed towards the second lady's yard.

Seeing this, Cui Er was extremely anxious. She ran after him while shouting, "Miss, wait for me!"

When Meng Kexin stepped into Lan Meiling's courtyard, she was stunned by the scene before her - Aunt Liu had been beaten horribly and was covered with bruises. Her clothes were already tattered, and blood had stained every inch of the fabric. She looked like a withered flower, which was heartbreaking.

Meng Kexin was enraged by the scene before her. She suddenly shouted, "Stop!" Her voice was like thunder, echoing throughout the courtyard, carrying endless majesty and indignation.

When the guards heard the loud shout, they all turned around in surprise, their eyes all falling on Meng Kexin.

The boards they were holding high in their hands now seemed to be frozen in mid-air, and they were at a loss.

These guards knew very well that the person standing before them was the eldest daughter of the mansion, and they could not afford to be offended if they made any mistake.

Cold sweat slid down their foreheads, dripping down their cheeks to the ground with a slight sound. Their eyes revealed panic and anxiety, as if time had stopped at this moment.

One of the guards tried to break the awkward situation. He said in a trembling voice, "Miss, we are just following orders. Please forgive us." However, his words seemed so pale and powerless.

"On whose orders?" Meng Kexin's voice was extremely cold. She glanced at the group of guards, causing them to lower their heads involuntarily.

"Miss...Miss, it's the Madam's order." The guard's voice became smaller and smaller.

Meng Kexin snorted coldly, "You are so blind that you can't even tell right from wrong! What did Aunt Liu do wrong to deserve such a beating?"

The guards looked at each other, and whoever dared to offend at this time chose to remain silent.

Seeing this, Meng Kexin became even angrier. "Today I'm going to seek justice for Aunt Liu! If you dare to do this again, don't blame me for being rude!" After saying that, she helped Aunt Liu up and prepared to take her away.

Lan Meiling in the room didn't want to come out to eat, but after hearing Meng Kexin's strong voice, she realized that if she didn't come out, her plan to drive Liu Po out of the house would fail.

So she went outside surrounded by maids and servants. She looked at Meng Kexin coldly, "Meng Kexin, are you trying to rebel?" Lan Meiling glared at Meng Kexin.

"Second Aunt, what did Aunt Liu do wrong that you want to punish her like this?" Meng Kexin responded fearlessly.

Lan Meiling sneered, "She broke my favorite vase and refused to admit it. Shouldn't a servant like this be punished?"

Meng Kexin looked at the broken vase on the ground, knowing that this was just an excuse Lan Meiling had made up. She straightened up and said, "Second Mother, even if Aunt Liu really broke the vase, she wouldn't have been beaten like this. Besides, you have no evidence to prove that it was Aunt Liu who broke it."

"Evidence? Everyone in this hospital saw it. What other evidence do we need?" Lan Meiling said, staring at Meng Kexin.

"Then I can also say that someone deliberately framed Aunt Liu." Meng Kexin argued.

Lan Meiling was so angry that her face turned blue, "You...you dare to talk back to me!"

"I'm just being reasonable. Second Aunt, if you continue to be unreasonable, I will write a letter to tell my father about my situation in the general's mansion." Meng Kexin refused to give in.

Lan Meiling knew she was in the wrong, but she didn't want to show weakness in front of Meng Kexin. "Okay, you're so capable, Meng Kexin. I provide you with delicious food and drink all day long, and yet you are so disrespectful to your elders. Even if your father knew about this, I'm still your elder."

Meng Kexin helped Aunt Liu turn around and leave. "Elder? Second Aunt, I hope you can be more conscientious in your future actions. Don't forget, this is the General's Mansion, not your Second Branch's territory."

Lan Meiling was left stomping her feet in anger.

Meng Kexin stepped into her yard and gently placed Aunt Liu on a chair.

Then she turned around and picked up the brush on the table. The brush strokes danced quickly on the paper, and the "brushing" sound broke the silence in the yard.

Soon, a prescription appeared on the paper. Meng Kexin's handwriting was neat and powerful, and every stroke showed her mastery of medicine and her concern for Aunt Liu. She handed the prescription to Cui'er beside her and said softly, "Cui'er, take this prescription and go get the medicine."

Cui Er took the prescription and looked at it carefully, a trace of admiration flashing in her eyes. She said gratefully, "Thank you, Miss. I'll go right away." After saying that, she hurried away.

Meng Kexin looked at Cui'er's departing back and silently prayed in her heart that Aunt Liu would recover soon.

The yard returned to peace. Meng Kexin stood there quietly, the sunlight shining on her, reflecting her gentle yet determined figure.

The original plan to empty the general's mansion was temporarily shelved because Aunt Liu was beaten.

At this time, An Wu, who was guarding the big tree outside the yard, saw that there was nothing to worry about here, so he stepped lightly and left the general's mansion.

After observing her for the past few days, he found that Meng Kexin had changed drastically from the previous one. At the same time, he also discovered that there were some things about her that were different from ordinary people.

For example, the flowers in the garden disappeared in front of his eyes for no reason, which left him puzzled.

For example, this girl has martial arts skills and is not weak. Could it be that Meng Kexin was pretending to be weak in the past?

So that you can have a chance to grow?

Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time!
