Chapter 1415 Meng Han

Tao's face darkened, and she glared at her fiercely.

Meng Han lowered her head and muttered a couple of words, "I didn't say anything wrong."

Shu Yu glanced at her with some surprise. She had previously thought that Meng Han didn't like Meng Yunzheng and was probably only brought here by Tao Shi. She thought she would remain silent until she left, but she didn't expect her to speak up for her.

Shu Yu returned the favor by using serving chopsticks to put a chicken leg on her plate, saying, "Eat more, little sister Ahan, you're so thin."

Meng Han looked up and smiled at her.

"Alright, alright, what's the point of saying all this? Yunzheng did the right thing, and Shuyu did the right thing too. They are both people who clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment, and they are both admirable. How can you call them malicious?" Uncle Meng slammed his hand on the table and looked at Madam Tao and Tao Qin, "On such a joyous day, why are you saying these things?"

He wasn't stupid; he realized his wife was targeting Shu Yu.

But he really didn't expect his wife to be after Meng Yunzheng. After all, in his opinion, Yunzheng was already engaged, and a man should be loyal and righteous once engaged, that's what makes a real man.

In his heart, Meng Yunzheng was the best of all, a true hero who had been lying low for more than ten years to avenge his mother.

Therefore, he assumed that his wife disliked Shu Yu and that was why she instructed Tao Qin to say unpleasant things.

With Uncle Meng interrupting, the Tao couple couldn't say anything more.

The meal was peaceful, but Meng Yunzheng's occasional acts of care for Shu Yu brought tears to Tao Qin's eyes.

The meal lasted for half an hour before Uncle Meng reluctantly got up and left the table.

It was already getting dark, so Meng Yunzheng didn't keep them any longer. "I've already asked Xia Yan to book two rooms at a nearby inn. I'll take my uncle there."

Fortunately, the results of the provincial examinations came out today, and many students who did not pass or who did pass have already returned home, leaving some rooms available in inns and restaurants.

As soon as he returned, he instructed Xia Yan to take care of two superior rooms, which were only about a mile away from the courtyard.

Tao, supporting Meng Xiaoshu's other hand, said upon hearing this, "Why did you only book two rooms? There are four of us, plus Shu Yu and her servant, so we need at least three rooms. Yunzheng, have Xia Yan book another one."

Meng Yunzheng was already quite impatient with Tao's repeated targeting of Shu Yu.

His tone turned cold. "No need, Ayu lives here."

“This isn’t appropriate,” said Madam Tao. “Although you are engaged, you are still just betrothed. If word gets out that you’re living together, it will damage Shu Yu’s reputation. You young people don’t understand anything. I let it go before, but today your uncle and I, your elders, are here, so we have to give you a few words of advice.”

"Elders?" Meng Yunzheng sneered. "You certainly know how to act like an elder today."

Tao's eyes widened; he hadn't expected him to be so blunt.

She immediately gave Uncle Meng a tug of her fist in annoyance, who had a headache. "Alright, this is Yunzheng's own business. Why are you meddling so much?"

"Why would I want to interfere? I'm only doing this for their own good. Yunzheng now has an official title, and his reputation is very important."

“Mother, if you’re worried, I can stay here with Sister Shuyu. That way no one will say anything, right?” Meng Han spoke up again.
