Chapter 730: Meng Family of Three
What if Meng Pei went on the caravan trip to the south, leaving the girl alone at home, and someone took an interest in her?
Therefore, ten days later, Meng Pei married Song Xin.
Song Xin was already three months pregnant, and if she stayed within everyone's sight, her condition would soon be noticed.
Fortunately, she had been thin before, but after staying at the Meng family for about ten days and eating well, people simply th...

After all, even Meng Pei himself was confused about the situation. Although he trusted his friend, he was cautious when it came to Song Xin, fearing that he might unintentionally harm her by making assumptions.
It wasn't until he saw that Song Xin hadn't regained consciousness and noticed her injuries that he secretly sought a doctor's help.
That's when he learned that Song Xin was pregnant.
Meng Pei felt numb all over. Song Xin was...

Meng Pei's family operated a caravan business, and at that time, they happened to be transporting goods to the capital city and planned to rest there for two days before returning.
The place where he was staying wasn't far, and he heard the commotion while half asleep. He followed the crowd and walked towards the source of the noise.

Chapter 727: Meng Yunzheng's Mother, Song Xin
Meng Yunzheng took a deep breath and nodded. "Yes, they naturally wanted to silence her. The maid who used to attend to my mother was immediately killed by that man with a sword."
"Originally, he also intended to kill my mother with a sword, but it was the palace consort who stopped him. Although my mother was emaciated, she still had a decent appearance. The palace consort resented her and couldn't stand the fact that my mother ov...

Shu Yu's hand holding the teacup froze abruptly as she looked at him in disbelief.
Meng Yunzheng didn't avert his gaze and wore a mocking smile on his face. "That man appeared kind and benevolent on the surface but was a wicked and treacherous person on the inside. My mother was just an ordinary girl from a common family, but she was exceptionally beautiful, known as a local beauty for miles around."
Shu Yu thought to herself that since Meng...

Especially when he mentioned his mother's passing, his expression seemed off. The old lady felt that it was a painful topic for him and didn't have the heart to press further.
The old lady simply said, "Well, you've just returned, and you both look tired. I'll go prepare the meal. We can talk later. Shu Yu, you can keep Meng Gongzi company."
Then she walked out, dragging Zhao Xi along with her.
Zhao Xi... He had just ret...

Most importantly, Shu Yu was beautiful and intelligent.
After listening, Shu Yu could only feel a headache. "I've only met Zhang Ping'an two or three times at most. We've barely exchanged a few words. How can they ta...

They turned around and entered the Lu family's courtyard, looking at the old lady and calling out, "Aunt Lu, are you busy?"

Shu Yu thought about Aunt Xue's unnaturally drooping hand. It seemed that although her hand had healed, her bones were completely misaligned.
And there was her emaciated and aged appearance, even more so than the rest of the Shu family. It seemed that without her and the mother-daughter duo of Hou family, she had become the new target of hatred for the Shu family. Even if the Shu family didn't lay a hand on her, her life was much worse off than others....
