Chapter 1424: Do You Dare?!
Meng Han swallowed hard, her eyes gradually shining.
"U-understood."
She never thought there could be such a solution.
Looking at Tao Qin, who had always been able to gain her mother's unconditional support just by flattering her, now with a red and swollen face, sitting on the ground and trembling, Meng Han felt an indescribable pleasure.
At the next moment, Tao Shi screamed, pushing Ying Xi away, and hugged Tao Qin, crying in so...
Chapter 1423: Shu Yu Slaps Back
Tao Qin lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Miss Lu, I know I'm not as good as you. You are the village lord, and your status is more noble than mine. But my aunt is Young Master Meng's aunt, and we naturally have an unbreakable relationship. Miss Lu, I'm willing to serve Young Master Meng with you."
"But I don't want to."
"Miss Lu, why do you have to refuse so quickly? My aunt's words just now were not wrong. She..."
Tao Qin...
Chapter 1422: Speaking from the Heart
Meng Yunzheng planned to return to Chenggu County and head to the mountain on his own. After visiting his mother, he would return to Jiangyuan County. Before that, he wanted to make all the necessary preparations to avoid staying in Chenggu County.
Meng Xiaoshu felt it was appropriate and suggested accompanying him.
At that moment, Tao Shi, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "husband, why don't you make a list for them? Otherwise, t...
Chapter 1421: Difficult to Interfere
After listening, Shu Yu remained silent for a while, then shook her head and sighed, "For the moment, I don't know what can be done."
Meng Han felt somewhat disappointed, but she didn't insist on finding a solution.
Shu Yu patted her shoulder, "Alright, let's take our time to think about it. It's getting late; you should rest now. There are things to do tomorrow."
"Okay."
Meng Han stood up dejectedly, climbed onto the bed...
Chapter 1420: Most Hated Meng Yunzheng
"Sister Ah Yu, you don't know, when my father was in danger before, it was my maternal grandfather who saved his life."
Shu Yu suddenly understood that Meng Yunzheng's uncle a person who valued gratitude and friendship. After this in-laws parents passed away and this brother-in-law was not capable enough, he took it upon himself to bear the responsibility.
Moreover, considering the current situation in the Meng family, what Tao Shi d...
Chapter 1419: It's as If Meng Yunzheng Has Become One of Their Family
As she continued speaking, Meng Han's discomfort deepened.
She took a deep breath. "Actually, when Uncle and Cousin first returned, I didn't like them and even resisted their presence. It's because we already have a leech in our family, and I didn't want another one."
"My mother kept telling us that they came back to claim their share of the family property and drive us out. But later, when Uncl...
Chapter 1418: The Brother-Supporting Demon
Seeing Shu Yu agree to help, Meng Han immediately leaned closer, sitting up straight.
"Um, can you find a way to make my mother distant from my uncle's family?" Meng Han asked.
Shu Yu was bewildered by this request as it seemed quite inexplicable.
Meng Han sighed, feeling somewhat powerless. "You saw it yourself, my mother treats my cousin with more affection than she does with me. She scolds me as much as she pampers ...
Chapter 1417: What Kind of Help?
Shu Yu was puzzled and had a bunch of question marks floating above her head. Meng Han wanted her to help... but how? They had just met today, and they weren't familiar with each other, so what could she possibly do to help?
Despite her confusion, Shu Yu still walked to the table, poured them both a glass of water, and after they both sat down, she smiled and asked, "Why did you think of asking me for help, little sister Ah Han?"
"Beca...
Chapter 1416: I Need Shu Yu's Help
Tao Shi was nearly infuriated; this father and daughter duo seemed to be deliberately causing trouble for her, weren't they? One followed everything Meng Yunzheng said, while the other couldn't make up her mind and didn't know whom to support.
She had hoped her daughter's arrival would be helpful, but now it seemed that her daughter was siding with Shu Yu instead.
Fuming with anger, Tao Shi didn't bother with Meng Yunzheng's uncle an...
Chapter 1415: Meng Han
Tao Shi's face darkened, and she glared at her.
Meng Han lowered her head but muttered, "I didn't say anything wrong."
Shu Yu looked at her in surprise. She thought Meng Han didn't like Meng Yunzheng and was probably forced to come here by Tao Shi. She expected her to remain silent until they left, but she didn't anticipate that Meng Han would speak up for her.
In return, Shu Yu used the public chopsticks to pick up a chicken leg and pass...
Chapter 1414: So I Went and Smashed Her Family
Thinking about this, Tao Qin couldn't help but clench her fists.
This was the first time she had been so close to a young man who would become an important official in the future. Moreover, he was not only talented in both literature and martial arts, with a bright future ahead, but also exceptionally handsome, better-looking than anyone she had ever seen.
Such an outstanding man would make any woman's heart flutter.<...
Chapter 1413: Someone from the Old Meng Family is Going to be an Official
Meng Yunzheng's lips curled up, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes. "Auntie, I'm afraid that won't do. I came to the city to study, and I rarely go out, so I might not be as familiar with this place as Uncle."
Meng Yunzheng's uncle immediately chimed in, "Exactly, exactly. Ah Yun came here to study, so he wouldn't know which medical clinic is good and which doctor is skilled. Didn't I tell y...
Chapter 1412: Meng Yunzheng's Return
Shu Yu sighed and said apologetically, "Auntie, I did want to cook myself. But, my cooking skills are not that good, and Ah Yun feels sorry for me and would eat even if it tastes bad. But I can't subject you all to that. You came all the way here, so you should have a good meal."
Tao Shi suggested, "Then, you don't have to buy from the restaurant. If your cooking skills are not good, you can assist Aunt He in the kitchen. Let her cook...
Chapter 1411: Tao Shi
Shu Yu took the opportunity to sit down on a chair and smiled, "Auntie, you're just joking. How could I bother with such things? Ignorance is forgivable. Now that you know my identity, I believe you will treat me as well as you do Ah Yun."
Tao Shi's thought, "...Who said I'll treat you well?"
Meng Yunzheng's uncle nodded beside them and said with a smile, "That's right, you and Ah Yun are engaged, and you will be family from now on. Ah Yun is...
Chapter 1410: Meng Yunzheng's Uncle
Meng Yunzheng's uncle hurriedly put down his cup and wiped his mouth. He looked at Tao Shi and asked, "What are you doing?"
Tao Shi pointed at Shu Yu angrily and said, "Didn't you hear what she just said?"
"What did she say?" Meng Yunzheng's uncle didn't quite understand.
Tao Shi sighed in exasperation, "She called Yunzheng 'Ah Yun.' Is that how a hired helper should address him?"
Looking at Shu Yu, Tao Shi sneered, "D...
Chapter 1409: The Arrival of the Meng Family
Shu Yu was taken aback and turned her head. At this time, who could be knocking on the door?
Aunt He was busy slaughtering a chicken, with blood on her hands, making it inconvenient for her to open the door.
Ying Xi was tending to the horses in the stable, leaving Shu Yu the only one available.
She wiped her hands and turned to open the door.
"Who is it?"
As the door opened, Shu Yu looked up and saw...
Chapter 1408: A Knock on the Door
Ying Xi stopped the carriage from a distance and said, "Miss..."
Shu Yu followed her gaze and saw many students standing at the entrance of the small courtyard. Not only them, but there were also some servants and maids waiting there. In addition to them, several local women were sitting there chatting with small stools.
It seemed like all these people were waiting for Meng Yunzheng to return.
Shu Yu didn't expect that a schola...
Chapter 1407: The Departure of the Dongqing Temple master
Shu Yu placed the flowerpot back on the stone pedestal and clapped her hands. "Alright, let's go. We'll use the carriage."
Judging from the situation, Ah Yun probably doesn't lack a means of transportation.
Xia Yan stared blankly as she walked out of the backyard and returned to the hall. Shu Yu then invited Ying Xi and the East Clear Sect Master to leave.
She had thought about it. Meng Yunzheng's future goa...
Chapter 1406: I Guess He Wants to Recruit People
Unexpectedly, things had developed to this point for Shu Yu.
"Is Ah Yun alright?"
Xia Yan shook his head with a touch of pride, "Young Master is the top scorer in the examination, well-versed in poetry and books. Every question those scholars threw at him was ridiculously simple to him, and he answered them without even needing to ponder. He easily handled those people, and now many of them greatly admire and respect him."<...
Chapter 1405: Meng Yunzheng Surrounded
After asking about the places and activities of Dongqing Temple master upon returning from the southwest, she just gave a brief explanation.
Shu Yu intended to ask about Little Shu Yu, but based on her master's words, she probably didn't know about the situation where they swapped places after she transmigrated into the novel.
Her master said that her physiognomy changed after meeting Meng Yunzheng.
But in reality, the first t...
Chapter 1404: The Truth from the Past
Shu Yu was taken aback, "Master, you agreed just like that? Actually, I only promised Lord Miao to meet you; I didn't mean to move his sister's eternal lamp."
"I know, but there's no need to meet him. I'll be heading to the capital soon, and I don't know when I'll be back. Besides, although Lord Miao's methods have been questionable these years, his sister was indeed a kind and gentle person. She had visited Dongqing Temple before, and I...
Chapter 1403: Lord Miao's Downfall
In a serious tone, Shu Yu shared the information she had gathered, "Since we met Lord Miao, I don't know if it's because of what I said to him or if he genuinely wanted to improve his image to gain your favor. But ever since then, Lord Miao's behavior has undergone significant changes."
It wasn't that he had suddenly turned over a new leaf, but his methods were no longer as extreme and ruthless as before, becoming much milder.
At least t...
Chapter 1402: Master and Disciple Heart-to-Heart Talk
The usually calm and steady Dongqing Temple Master was feeling a bit agitated due to Shu Yu's silent attitude.
She rubbed her forehead and said, "Alright, if you want to ask something, just go ahead."
"Hold on, let me organize my thoughts before I ask," Shu Yu replied.
Dongqing Temple master sighed, wondering why she had avoided her multiple times; this girl had a talent for infuriating people.
After ...
Chapter 1401: The Third Rank Scholar, Xun Sheng, Pays a Visit
Shu Yu was in a good mood today. First, she found her master, and second, Meng Yunzheng passed the exam as the top scorer.
With these two things combined, they had to celebrate! Therefore, she had a little bit of alcohol.
Unfortunately, it was just a little.
Dongqing Temple master was watching her like a hawk, worried that she would drink too much because of her injuries, so she could only continue eatin...
Chapter 1400: Scholar Meng is Ranked First
Shu Yu raised her eyebrows; it seemed that the third-ranked scholar was quite good.
Without realizing it, she held Meng Yunzheng's hand, and when she turned to look at him, she could feel him smiling at her, even with the hat covering his face.
When they reached the entrance of a private room, Shu Yu asked the waiter, "Your inn offered special discounts for the third-ranked scholar. The inn where the second and first-ranked schol...
Chapter 1399: Exam Results Are Out Today
Shu Yu was completely stunned, "The exam results for the prefectural were supposed to be out tomorrow, right?"
As someone who cared deeply about Meng Yunzheng's future, she had been keeping track of when the academy exams were held and when the results would be announced.
When the exams took place and when the results would be released were all dates she had carefully calculated.
Yesterday, she was relieved that she had rush...
Chapter 1398: Why Are There So Many People
Shu Yu pretended not to notice the look in the Dongqing Temple master's eyes and asked, "When did you find out about these things, Master?"
"A couple of days ago."
As someone skilled in physiognomy, the master of Dongqing Temple master naturally saw that Zhou Hao was not afflicted by any curse or illness.
Last time, when she arrived, Zhou, the village head, didn't trust her. However, this time, she demonstrated her abiliti...
Chapter 1397: Cause and Effect
The village head, was the wealthiest family in Zhou Village. With a strong family background and two successful elder brothers – one a scholar and the other a businessman in the county, Zhou Hao's status and value in the village were the highest.
Now at the age of sixteen, matchmakers from neighboring areas almost broke through Zhou Family Village's threshold trying to propose marriage to Zhou Hao. If it weren't for the Zhou family being picky an...
Chapter 1396: Shu Yu's Lack of Insight
The final look that the master of Dongqing Temple gave her showed resignation and compromise.
Shu Yu believed that her master would come out to find her after finishing her business.
To be safe, she told Xia Yan and Ying Xi, "Stay at the back door. If my master comes out from there, stop her."
"Okay."
The two of them went to the back door.
Not knowing what was going on inside, Shu Yu and Meng Yun Zheng leaned aga...
Chapter 1395: Two Women
At the next moment, the master of Dongqing Temple closed her eyes instantly.
Shu Yu's expression froze, and she turned back to look at Meng Yunzheng. "She saw me just now, right?"
Meng Yun Zheng cleared his throat and nodded. "Yes, she saw you."
"Then why did she close her eyes without saying a word? It's like she doesn't want to see me," Shu Yu said, feeling quite certain due to the fleeting look of Dongqing Temple's master.
"Why wou...
