Chapter 34: Tuan'er! Your daddy is here!

Children can say these words simply because they are taught by adults.

Logically speaking, Meng Mingshu should not bother with the children, but should directly find the adults behind them.

But Tuan'er is Meng Mingshu's Achilles' heel, and she owes him a lifetime of guilt.

In her previous life, she failed to protect her daughter, causing her to die young.

After her rebirth, Meng Mingshu swore that she would never let her daughter get hurt again.

"Go get a rope."

Meng Mingshu spoke to the maid beside her.

"You, what do you want to do?"

"Bad girl, I'm the eldest grandson of the Lin family. If you dare to lay a hand on me, my grandmother and grandfather will not let you go."

Meng Mingshu ignored their shouting and tied the four children to the tree.

"Tuan'er come here."

Meng Mingshu handed a thin twig to Tuan'er.

"Tuan'er, come and do it."

Meng Mingyao was shocked by Meng Mingshu's behavior, and her eyes widened.

She stammered, "Third sister, is this really necessary?"

"This is my uncle's eldest grandson, right?"

No matter how good the uncle is to them, these children are his grandchildren.

Meng Mingyao continued to persuade:

"Why not just forget it? If we really fight, we won't be able to stay in the Lin family anymore."

Meng Mingshu looked at Meng Mingyao: "Who said we still have to live in the Lin family?"

Ever since her aunt arranged for the children to bully Tuan'er, it was impossible for Meng Mingshu to live in the Lin family anymore.

Bullying is something that will happen again once it happens.

My aunt will not give up until she achieves her goal, and she will have more tricks to drive them away.

Meng Mingshu herself can be bullied, but Tuan'er cannot.

Meng Mingyao was stunned.

Tuan'er had already gotten off Meng Mingyao and was hitting the four children with a branch.

After a few slaps, Tuan'er puffed up his face:

"Mother, Tuan'er needs to change to a thicker branch."

Even though the tied-up children cried loudly, Tuan'er did not show any mercy. Instead, he felt that the beating was too light.

Meng Mingshu nodded, "Then use this one."

"Thank you, mother." Tuan'er said softly.

…

"Are your hands tired, Tuan'er? Do you want to take a break?"

Tuan'er shook his head:

"I'm tired, but I'm still angry, so I don't want to rest. I'm going to teach them a lesson, hum."

Meng Mingshu smiled.

When the lesson was almost over, the four children cried so hard that they dared not curse anymore.

Meng Mingshu then spoke to the maid:

"Go call my aunt and uncle over and tell them I have something to talk to them about."

My aunt and her family came very quickly, and even my grandmother came.

When my aunt saw the four tied-up children, she was furious.

"What are you doing? The Lin family kindly took you in, and you dare to lay hands on the Lin family's children?"

"Grandpa and grandma, I'm scared. It hurts so much."

The four children began to sob and then started to complain.

The abuse from my aunt also followed.

"No wonder your family has fallen into this state. You are so despicable that you can even harm such a young child."

"A woman abandoned by her family will not die a good death!"

"Shut up!"

Lin Yantong looked over.

My aunt opened her lips, but she stopped the more unpleasant insults.

"Your own children and grandchildren have been bullied like this. If you don't stand up for them, just wait for them to hate you in the future!"

The aunt-in-law spoke with gritted teeth, and at the same time looked at Meng Mingshu and the others with resentment again.

"Mingshu, you speak."

Lin Yantong knew that Meng Mingshu and the others would not take action for no reason.

Meng Mingshu started by talking about the flower viewing banquet.

I believe my aunt and uncle already know what happened at the flower viewing banquet.

But Meng Mingshu said it again.

"First, Mingyao and I were ridiculed at the banquet today, and then it was Tuan'er."

"My aunt wants to kick us out. You can tell her directly, but you can't touch my daughter."

After hearing this, Lin Yantong's face darkened.

"I already know about this matter, and I will give you justice."

"My uncle will also take these brats back and teach them a lesson."

Meng Mingshu sighed, her uncle was indeed a fair man.

But the entire Lin family is more than just the uncle.

It is even more so in the back house.

Mrs. Lin, who had been silent all this time, spoke at this moment.

She sighed heavily: "Let's stop here and not talk about it anymore. We are all family."

"Zhuo'er and the others have also learned their lesson."

The palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh, but Mrs. Lin still loves her great-grandson the most.

She began to persuade Meng Mingshu: "These children really shouldn't bully Tuan'er, but they are young and don't understand what they are doing."

"Tuan'er also bullied me back and beat me so severely. Let's just forget about it. We are all family.

Meng Mingshu didn't say anything more.

All ten fingers are of different lengths, and it is normal for the grandmother to feel sorry for her great-grandson and complain about her.

"good."

Meng Mingshu nodded and looked at her uncle:

"Uncle, for the sake of you and grandmother, please let this matter go."

Meng Mingshu looked at her aunt again:

"After today, you won't have to bother sending us away."

"We'll leave on our own."

Meng Mingshu looked at her uncle and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry for bothering you these past few days."

Madam Lin and Lin Yantong said almost at the same time: "No."

The old lady advised:

"Your aunt was wrong in what happened today. She has wronged you. But where can you go if you leave the Lin family?"

"Mingshu, don't get carried away."

Meng Mingshu shook her head and looked at the old lady and her uncle: "I'm not angry, I'm serious."

"If we continue to stay at the Lin family, it will only implicate the Lin family."

More importantly, Meng Mingshu doesn't want to be looked down upon anymore.

Tuan'er cannot be treated like this.

"As for where to go, Xu Shaozhang will come to pick us up, so uncle and grandmother can rest assured."

"I also don't want to implicate the Lin family because of me, causing the Lin family and the Xie family to become enemies."

This sentence made my uncle and the old lady silent.

Lin Yantong and the old lady had not spoken to each other for a long time.

But in the end they nodded.

"Uncle... send someone to escort you to the Xu family."

Meng Mingshu nodded: "Thank you, uncle, but it's not necessary."

Meng Mingshu was relieved that her grandmother and the others did not stay any longer.

That's good.

Everyone has their own closeness and distance.

The most important people in her heart are Tuan'er, Xiao Yan, and her mother.

She would no longer be as open-hearted to everyone in her maternal grandparents' family as she was in her previous life.

————

Early the next morning, Meng Mingshu and the others had just stepped out of the yard.

The nanny beside my aunt Wu came with a large group of servants.

"My wife said that we need to clean the whole yard, inside and out.

We must not allow bad luck to remain in this courtyard and bring trouble to our Lin family."

Meng Mingshu felt no emotion when she heard these words.

After bidding farewell to their uncle and grandmother at the door, Meng Mingshu and the others got on Xu Shaozhang's carriage again.

Xu Shaozhang smiled and said:

"I was planning to pick you up at the Lin family, but now it's okay for you to leave on your own."

"There's good news."

Meng Mingshu looked up at Xu Shaozhang, her eyes brightening: "Hurry up and tell me."

"Whether it's the Han family or the Xie family, they don't want to bother you anymore."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be able to come to Chongzhou tomorrow. The Xie and Han families just received the news and have already started preparing to welcome him."

"Now all my thoughts are focused on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Meng Mingshu clutched the handkerchief in her palm:

"Are you sure it's tomorrow?"

"Can we really reach Chongzhou tomorrow?"

"It's tomorrow, right?"

Meng Mingshu confirmed again and again.

Xu Shaozhang nodded with a smile:

"It shouldn't be a problem to get to Suixian by tomorrow evening."

Sui County is the entrance to Chongzhou Prefecture.

It was also in Sui County that Meng Mingshu found Tuan'er.

Their former home was also in Sui County.

Meng Mingshu covered her chest, her eyes reddened:

"Brother-in-law, I'll leave my mother and the others to you. I want to take Tuan'er to Sui County and wait."

Xu Shaozhang had anticipated this:

"Okay, I've brought some extra people with me to escort you and Tuan'er over."

Meng Mingshu nodded.

She lowered her head and hugged Tuan'er tightly, suppressing the excitement in her heart, and choked with sobs:

"Tuan'er, dear, your daddy is coming!"

She really, really missed Xiao Yan.

I think about him day and night.

In his previous life, Xiao Yan died in her arms in order to save her, and this became Meng Mingshu's inner demon.

She couldn't wait to see Xiao Yan, she had so much to tell him.

She didn't have time to tell him in her previous life that she liked him too, so she must tell him in this life.
