Chapter 1830: Meeting the In-Laws

Upon hearing this, Grandma Lu breathed a sigh of relief, "So that's the case."

As long as they weren't here specifically to see County Princess Wen'an, that was good. Otherwise, the County Princess would be too formidable and frightening.

The gatekeeper brought along two people and led two carriages inside the courtyard. Onlookers at the gate exchanged puzzled glances, unsure of who these people were. They seemed to be important to the Meng Family Escort Agency.

Someone grabbed a servant from the Meng family, trying to inquire about the situation. The servant quickly replied, "They're the County Princess's relatives."

With that information, the gate onlookers rushed to build connections, but they were too slow. The carriages had already entered the escort agency's premises.

Lu Erbai and Hua Xian supported Grandma Lu as they walked inside. Lu Sanzhu looked around, trying to locate this County Princess Wen'an they were talking about.

Unable to contain his curiosity, he stopped the leading servant and asked, "I heard that your escort agency is hosting a County Princess…"

Before he could finish his sentence, Shu Yu quickly emerged from inside, rushing excitedly towards the old lady.

Lu Sanzhu inwardly sighed with relief. She must have been wronged; she must have been wronged! How else could she show such genuine affection? Poor girl.

Shu Yu, her hands trembling, took Grandma Lu's hands. She had heard the servant's report earlier, stating that her father had come from Jiangyuan County. At first, she had thought she was hearing things, but now she realized it was indeed true.

"Grandmother, Father, why did you come?"

Lu Sanzhu gestured to himself, muttering, "Third Uncle, Third Uncle." There were three older generations present; why wasn't she addressing him properly?

Shu Yu corrected herself, "Third Uncle."

Lu Sanzhu sighed inwardly, feeling frustrated. He was probably taken advantage of, that's why she was so affectionate. He pitied himself for even thinking he could play a decisive role here.

He wanted to assert himself a bit. But before he could, a group of kids, small carrots, rushed forward and encircled Shu Yu, calling out, "Big Sister."

Shu Yu looked at each of them one by one. There were a total of eight people.

Grandma Lu, Lu Erbai, Lu Sanzhu, Shu Rui, Er Niu, Da Bao, three boys, and Ying Dong and Hua Xian.

There were quite a few of them, adding a lively atmosphere to the journey.

Shu Yu patted the shoulders of the little ones, saying happily, "Let's go inside. We can talk indoors."

As she spoke, she helped Grandma Lu inside.

By the time they reached the main hall, Meng Xiaoshu and Meng Han had arrived after hearing the news.

Shu Yu introduced both sides, and Meng Xiaoshu, delighted, said, "My elder brother has spoken highly of you, saying you're all talented and practical individuals. Especially in raising Shu Yu, such a clever and wise child. I've been curious to meet you all. Unexpectedly, I've met you today. I'm so pleased! Please, have a seat."

He promptly ordered tea, saying to the old lady, "Once you're at our home, you don't need to be too polite or restrained. Treat it like your own home. If you need anything, just tell Shu Yu; she can decide."

Upon hearing this, the old lady felt relieved.

Shu Yu could make decisions even in the Meng family's home. It seemed like the Meng family held her in high regard. That meant the so-called County Princess shouldn't be able to overpower her.

But they had only been here for a short while, and she hadn't seen Meng Pei or Meng Yunzheng.

Seeing Grandma Lu's puzzled expression, Meng Xiaoshu explained, "My elder brother is busy outside. I've already sent someone to fetch him. As for Meng Yunzheng, he's working in the city. He left on the third day of the New Year. He'll only come back when he has free time."

"He went to the city?" Lu Sanzhu's eyes lit up. This meant that Meng Yunzheng wouldn't have much opportunity to interact with that County Princess.
