Chapter 1411 Tao

Shu Yu sat down on the chair and said with a smile, "Auntie, you're joking. How could I hold it against you? Ignorance is no excuse. You didn't know my identity before. Now that you do, I'm sure you'll treat me the same way you treat A-Yun."

Tao said, "..." Who's going to be nice to you?

Uncle Meng nodded and smiled, "That's right. You and Yunzheng are engaged now, so you're family. Yunzheng is a good boy, and so are you. If you need any help in the future, just ask your uncle. If Yunzheng bullies you, your uncle will stand up for you."

His enthusiasm was so great that Shu Yu was almost overwhelmed by Meng Xiaoshu's charm.

Tao was even more furious. She glared fiercely at Uncle Meng, but he didn't see it; she was glaring at thin air.

Tao could only rub her temples and forcefully interrupt his incessant chatter, "When did Lord Lu arrive? You..."

Uncle Meng said, "Don't call me Lu Xiangjun, that's too formal. This is Yunzheng's fiancée, let's just call her Shuyu. We're all family, no need to be so polite."

Tao, "..."

Shu Yu almost laughed.

She nodded. "Yes, Auntie, you don't need to be so polite."

Tao could only smile, extremely annoyed by her husband Meng's dragging her down. But he was her husband; what could she do but endure it?

Interrupted repeatedly, Tao was momentarily at a loss for what to say to Shu Yu.

However, the girl on the left who had caught Shu Yu's attention earlier suddenly asked, "Miss Lu, why were you wearing an apron just now? You looked like you were going to do chores. Don't you have servants at home?"

Shu Yu raised her head, "You are..."

Uncle Meng immediately said, "This is Aunt Han's cousin, Tao Qin."

Ah Han, the girl on the right, whose eyes are darting around right now, is Uncle Meng's daughter.

My maternal cousin? That means she's the Tao brothers' daughter?

This is interesting. Why did they bring their cousin here?

Upon hearing Tao Qin's words, Tao immediately sat up straight and said with a smile, "Yes, why was Shu Yu wearing an apron just now?"

Shu Yu glanced at Tao Qin, and seeing that the other woman had lowered her head, she smiled and turned to Tao Shi, "Isn't it because A-Yun passed the imperial examination? Such a joyous day should of course be celebrated. That's why I changed my clothes just now and was planning to help Aunt He cook a nice meal."

Tao's eyes lit up slightly. "I see. We've disturbed you. Go ahead and get busy. You don't need to entertain us here. Cooking is the priority; it's getting late."

Shu Yu nodded. "You're right, it is getting late. A-Yun should be back soon."

Tao was slightly satisfied; at least the girl knew what was good for her. However, if she cooked herself and soon became covered in grease and smoke, she would be completely outmatched by the others.

However, Shu Yu simply stood at the entrance of the main room and called out to Ying Xi.

When Yingxi arrived, she instructed her, "Go to a nearby restaurant and order a few dishes, have them delivered in a bit. Oh, and order two jugs of wine too; I heard from A-Yun that Uncle likes to drink it. You can decide on the rest; you know what A-Yun and I like anyway."

"Yes." Ying Xi turned and left.

Tao was stunned. She quickly stepped forward and said, "You, weren't you going to cook yourself? Why did you send the maid to the restaurant to buy food and wine? The food and wine in the restaurant are not cheap."
