Chapter 151: Retribution Has Arrived!
This blow shattered Meng Zhanting's illusion of using Song Siyao as a stepping stone to reach the pinnacle of life, trampled on his dignity as a human being, and erased the meager affection they once shared as husband and wife.
The stick continued to fall, one blow after another landing on Meng Zhanting.
He lay on the ground, looked up at Song Siyao, and thought, "Song Siyao is so beautiful."
This woman is truly a rare sight, one that should only exist in heaven.
Song Siyao was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
Several months have passed since then, and her aura has grown stronger and stronger.
If you stare into her eyes, even just for a moment, you'll feel suffocated by the oppressive atmosphere.
Now she possesses not only beauty and talent, but also power and status.
As long as Song Siyao doesn't do anything immoral or usurp power in the future, she will enjoy endless wealth and honor for the rest of her life.
He never imagined that Song Siyao, who used to follow him around, was foolish, deaf and blind, would become Princess Ning'an, whom he now had to bow to.
If one does not perform the proper etiquette, it is considered disrespectful and an act of insubordination, for which one will be punished with a stick.
Cang Yue's hand speed was fast and ruthless, and in no time, he finished the ten blows.
"Meng Zhanting, do you know your crime?"
Meng Zhanting was in so much pain that his bones felt like they were falling apart. He didn't want to admit his guilt, but if he didn't, Song Siyao would continue to beat him.
Keep beating him until he submits.
He was scared.
Cang Yue's blows were just right, not enough to cripple him, but enough to make him suffer excruciating pain and teach him a lesson.
"Meng Zhanting, are you unaware of your crime?" Song Siyao asked coldly. Before Meng Zhanting could answer, she ordered Cang Yue, "Keep beating him! Beat him until he submits!" (You and I should find a middle ground.)
Cang Yue raised the stick high, about to bring it down, when Meng Zhanting shouted, "Princess Ning'an, I apologize."
"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly, say it again." Song Siyao had clearly heard him.
"Princess Ning'an, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong," Meng Zhanting said loudly once again.
"Meng Zhanting, you and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. From now on, if you see me, either go out of your way or bow to me, or I'll beat you every time I see you!"
Song Siyao's voice was cold and sharp, "Back then, I was so foolish and didn't understand love. By the time I regained my senses, you had already betrayed me. Therefore, I have never had any feelings for you. Don't presume to be affectionate with me. Get as far away from me as possible from now on!"
Meng Zhanting looked at Song Siyao. His body ached, but his heart ached even more.
He clearly only wanted to use Song Siyao, so why did his heart ache so much after hearing Song Siyao's strong rejection?
Even the most agonizing pain, like being pierced by a thousand arrows, cannot compare to this.
He was wrong!
He was really wrong!
He was filled with regret, grief, and resentment...
However, there is no medicine for regret in this world.
Looking at Meng Zhanting's desperate eyes, Song Siyao's expression grew even colder.
"Cang Yue, throw him at the gate of the General's Mansion! From now on, if he dares to come within three feet of the gate of the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion, break his legs on the spot!"
"Yes, county lord."
Cang Yue dragged Meng Zhanting away, and the surrounding noise of onlookers grew louder and louder.
"How shameless! Someone like him dares to beg the princess to get back together!"
"Princess Ning'an is so majestic and powerful! That's how we women should be! We must never give those scoundrels any chance!"
"He doesn't truly love the princess; he's only after her status and position."
"Get out of here! He used to despise the princess when she was mentally challenged, but now that she's recovered, he's begging for her. A man like that is better off dead. He's a disgrace."
"The princess showed mercy just now. This kind of scumbag should just be beaten to death."
"If I see him on the street from now on, I'll spit at him. He's disgusting!"
……
All the comments were overwhelmingly negative, criticizing Meng Zhanting.
Meng Zhanting was so angry that his body convulsed until he was dragged onto the carriage. He closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face.
In the end, he still received his retribution and paid the price.
He abandoned Song Siyao for Song Yu'er, and as a result, Song Yu'er despised him.
Now, he abandoned Song Yu'er for Song Siyao, but Song Siyao still doesn't want him.
In the end, he was empty-handed, with nothing at all.
Song Siyao watched the carriage leave, then got up and went into the mansion.
She slapped Meng Zhanting in public today, and from now on, Meng Zhanting will never dare to ask her to get back together.
Cang Yue took Meng Zhanting to the general's mansion and dumped him at the main gate.
The gatekeeper of the general's mansion didn't recognize Cang Yue and stopped him, asking, "Who are you? How dare you hurt my young master!"
“I am Princess Ning’an’s bodyguard. Meng Zhanting disrespected Princess Ning’an and committed insubordination. This is his punishment.”
After Cang Yue finished speaking, he turned and left.
The gatekeeper carried Meng Zhanting into the mansion, and everyone in the mansion came over.
"My son, how did you get hurt like this? Who bullied you? I'll avenge you!"
Old Madam Meng was heartbroken, tears streaming down her face.
“Madam, it is Princess Ning’an,” the gatekeeper replied.
"What? It's Song Siyao! That bitch, does she think she's so great just because she's a princess? Does being a princess give her the right to bully people? I'm going to confront her right now!" Old Madam Meng said fiercely.
Meng Zhanting grabbed her, "Mother, don't go!"
"Why not go? Are you going to just swallow your anger after she hits you? You may be afraid of her, but I'm not!" Old Madam Meng said angrily.
"Mother, don't provoke her. She's a princess now; we can't afford to offend her," Meng Zhanting said.
They slapped a label of insubordination on someone and beat them without warning.
"I..." Old Madam Meng was still unconvinced.
"Mother! I'm begging you!" Meng Zhanting pleaded.
Madam Meng was stunned. She didn't speak and stared blankly at Meng Zhanting.
This son, whom she was so proud of, eventually became afraid of Song Siyao.
it is good!
If the open approach doesn't work, then we'll try the covert one!
The hatred between her General's Mansion and Song Siyao is irreconcilable!
She didn't say another word, and turned away.
News of Meng Zhanting's beating quickly reached Song Yu'er's ears.
Song Yu'er burst into laughter.
She laughed for a long time, until tears streamed down her face.
"Meng Zhanting, Meng Zhanting! You've finally met your match! Well done, well fought!"
"Why didn't I kill you?"
"Meng Zhanting, you've finally gotten your comeuppance!"
……
Song Yu'er, holding a handkerchief, ran around the room, cursing as she ran, like a madwoman.
Ironically, the handkerchief in her hand was the very one she had embroidered and given to Meng Zhanting when he was still with Song Siyao.
The handkerchief was embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks. One mandarin duck had the character "羽" (feather) embroidered on it, and the other mandarin duck had the character "庭" (courtyard) embroidered on it.
When she gave the handkerchief to Meng Zhanting, he hugged her tightly and vowed to love her for a lifetime.
He would cherish this handkerchief for the rest of his life, but Meng Zhanting didn't even realize when he lost it.
It was as if she had been abandoned.
