Meng Xue was ultimately expelled.
Although she was still alive, she was completely distanced from the power center of the Meng Family, and Meng Zhengting did not abandon his hostility towards me due to his daughter's downfall.
On the surface, he appeared increasingly tolerant of me, seemingly treating me as family, but in reality, it was to keep me stable while plotting a more vicious scheme.
Not long after, Meng Zhengting revealed his true intentions.
The timing he chose was during a family meeting.
Meng Zhengting allied with several other family members, intending to jointly deal with me.
He learned from Meng Xue's failure and came well-prepared, clearly wanting to resolve the issue in one go and completely eliminate my threat.
From the very beginning, I received an anonymous letter informing me about this "Hongmen Banquet."
On that day, Meng Zhengting struck first.
He changed his usual confrontational attitude and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Gu Qing, I know you have had many grievances against me and Xiaoxue. Indeed, I was wrong in the last incident, but you can't want to completely destroy the Meng Family just because of that, can you?"
"The Meng Family is your family; the blood flowing in your veins belongs here. How can you be so heartless?"
He talked about Meng Xue's situation, admitted his mistakes, and expressed that his failure in educating his daughter led to such an outcome.
Then he shifted his focus and turned his attacks towards me.
"Although Gu Qing is a biological descendant of the Meng Family, she was raised by outsiders and has no connection to us at all."
"She is just an outsider who could betray us at any moment."
"She returned to seize the Meng Family's wealth; as long as she is here, the Meng Family will never have peace."
"Look at Xue'er; although she has made some mistakes, she is still our relative, with the blood of the Meng Family running through her veins."
"But what about Gu Qing? She is a treacherous wolf; Xue'er has suffered so much because of her, ending up in such a miserable state. Can you bear to see the Meng Family destroyed by an outsider?"
Meng Zhengting's words were both emotionally compelling and logically persuasive.
If I weren't involved, I might have been moved by him.
Meng Zhengting truly is a cunning old fox, knowing exactly how to touch people's hearts.
He first admitted his mistakes to lower my guard, then used emotional manipulation to sway others to his side.
Sure enough, after hearing his words, the expressions of others gradually turned to outrage, and their gazes toward me became increasingly unfriendly.
It seemed they had already determined that I was the sinner trying to destroy the family.
Unfortunately for him, he was dealing with me.
His plan was destined to fail.
As soon as Meng Zhengting finished speaking, I let out a cold laugh.
I glanced around, observing the various expressions on the faces of the Meng Family members, filled with disdain.
"You make it sound so easy, pushing all the responsibility onto me."
"But have you forgotten that Meng Xue failed because she was incompetent and greedy?"
"If she had any ability, she wouldn't have been defeated by me; if she hadn't stirred up trouble, she wouldn't have ended up like this."
"As for your claim that I am an outsider threatening the stability of the family, that's absurd."
"First of all, I am a direct descendant of the Meng Family and recognized by my grandfather as the heir; secondly, even if I truly threatened the family's interests, you could easily vote to remove me instead of secretly colluding to usurp power like you are now."
I paused for a moment, casting a sharp glance at Meng Zhengting.
"Or do you think that the rules of the Meng Family are merely for show? That you can trample on them at will?"
I said this not only for the Meng Family members but also for Meng Zhengting.
He wanted others to side with him; I could do the same.
After all, I am the legitimate heir of the Meng Family.
Upon hearing my words, the Meng Family members began to murmur among themselves, and their gazes toward Meng Zhengting shifted.
My counterattack was very effective, and Meng Zhengting's expression turned extremely ugly.
He stared at me intently, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.
"Sharp-tongued! Even if you are eloquent, it doesn't change the fact that you are an outsider!"
I shook my head. "It seems you still haven't realized one thing: I am not an outsider. I am the biological daughter of the Meng Family, and I carry the blood of the Meng Family. If I am an outsider, then how many of you present are insiders?"
As soon as I said this, there was an uproar among the crowd.
They finally realized that if I was an outsider, then they were also outsiders, which was contradictory.
He looked at me deeply, sneered, and turned to those from the Meng Family.
"Gu Qing speaks so easily, but does she really regard you all highly?"
"She doesn't even care about her own biological father; how could she care about your lives?"
"If she truly threatens the family's interests, do you think she would let you off easily?"
"You all need to think carefully; don't let someone sell you and then count the money for her."
Meng Zhengting was indeed a cunning old fox; he quickly seized on the loophole in my words.
As soon as he said this, the expressions of those from the Meng Family changed again.
They looked at me suspiciously, as if weighing the pros and cons.
Once they chose to stand with Meng Zhengting, my situation would truly be dangerous.
But at that moment, I smiled.
Meng Zhengting realized the situation was not in his favor and wanted to say something more, but I did not give him that opportunity.
I took out the evidence I had prepared earlier and slammed it on the table.
"Also, you said I would bring disaster to the Meng Family, but you seem to have forgotten that the one truly bringing disaster to the Meng Family is you."
The crowd picked up the evidence in confusion and their expressions changed dramatically.
The evidence clearly documented Meng Zhengting's collusion with external forces, attempting to seize the family's assets.
Upon seeing this evidence, Meng Zhengting panicked.
He did not expect me to have such a move, nor did he expect me to obtain this evidence.
"This... this is impossible! You are framing me!"
He shouted hoarsely, but the crowd no longer believed his words.
