Chapter 2264: Zhao Xi's Opportunity for Education
Meng Yunzheng raised his head, looking at Zhao Xi on the wall, and smiled, "Ask your question."
Zhao Xi inexplicably shivered, feeling that he would surely be held accountable after this marriage.
Well, he could deal with the consequences later. For now, he'd enjoy the moment.
He deliberately avoided making eye contact with him and cleared his throat, saying, "Alright, let's begin with the first question, and the re...

Upon hearing Shu Yu's words, Grandma Lu clapped her hands together abruptly. "You hit the nail on the head, she's indeed got too much free time. When Cuihua was pregnant with Yuanyuan in the past, Er Niu was still young, and there was plenty of work to be done in the fields. If she could find the time to visit Cuihua, it was already considered good. Now, with nothing else to do, she's completely focused on fussing over the children."

After the dispute with Lai's mother, she decided to leave and returned to town.
With Lai's mother gone, Li Shi stayed on her own. Since Yu Fenglin was worried about his older sister, he offered to take care of Lanhua himself. His blacksmith shop was located at home, so if Lanhua needed anything or didn't feel well, she could call for him from the backyard. He even suggested hiring a maid to cook and do laundry for Lanhua.

However, the portraits painted by ordinary artists were far from capturing Meng Yunzheng's lifelike appearance.
Moreover, Wei Shi had been confined to a small courtyard, and the wealthy merchant hadn't seen her for a year, so he couldn't remember her appearance. As for the two "caretakers" who looked after her, they rarely looked at Wei Shi directly in the eyes and mostly knew her as someone who kept her head down, with her hair often cove...
