Chapter 1151: The Instant Change of Meng Pei
By noon, there was finally movement at the courtyard gate.
The gate was pushed open, and when Shu Yu looked up, she saw Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi walking in together.
"You guys are back together?" Wasn't Meng Yunzheng supposed to be out of the city with the Fifth Prince? And Zhao Xi was going shopping.
Meng Yunzheng smiled, "We ran into each other at the entrance of the alley. Have you had lunch?"
Shu Yu wave...

Old Zhao was even more displeased, "What do you mean, your daughter-in-law? Let me tell you, Da Ya will soon become my disciple's wife, and San Ya will become my apprentice. In that sense, I am closer to Shu Yu's maternal family than you are."
"Pfft." Meng Pei sneered without any courtesy, "You're calling yourself her maternal family when you're just meeting her for the first time today? Can you stop trying to exaggerate?"
"Meng Pei, do you want t...

The two middle-aged men also looked a little stunned when they saw her and took a step back, checking the doorplate number.
"We didn't make a mistake..."
The tall man, who was the one speaking, slightly softened his expression and asked politely, "Miss, does Meng Yunzheng live here?"
Shu Yu sized them up, wondering who would be visiting at this hour in the capital. Especially these two, who didn't seem like officials from the cou...

Chapter 1148: Two Middle-aged Men
Yao Hong believed that her brother's unfortunate situation was all caused by Wang Jiayi. If she hadn't been caught on the spot and betrayed her brother and her maid, Yao An wouldn't have been subjected to family law. Especially when Yao An was seriously injured, Wang Jiayi escaped unscathed.
If she hadn't caused such a big commotion, even if her brother's drugging attempt failed, at least it wouldn't have been discovered.
Now, not only...

Yao Tianqing gestured to Madam Yao to follow, and she complied.
After all, they still needed to take care of Yao An's injuries; they couldn't let things go too far.
Yao Tianqing walked up to Shu Yu and said, "Once Yao An's injuries are treated, I will have him sent out of the city to recuperate. After he recovers, I'll send him directly back to Huajiang Prefecture."
Indeed, Yao Tianqing had considered just sending ...

In the next moment, Yao Bo took a rattan whip, which was made by tying two thumb-thick rattan strips together, over a meter long, and it looked terrifying.
Yao An's face turned pale, and he struggled and glared angrily at Yao Tianqing on the main seat. "You can't hit me! I'm not your family member. Why do you have the right to administer family law on me? Who do you think you are?"
He panicked and desperately tried to break free from the restr...

Wang Jiayi tried to stop them, but she couldn't even signal her maid.

Wang Jiayi replied softly, "I didn't dare to. Young Master Yao Bo is already married. Even if I spoke up, what would be the point? I thought I could keep this matter to myself, and nobody would know, and it would just pass like ...
