Chapter 1422 Heartfelt Words

Meng Yunzheng planned to go up the mountain by himself after returning to the county town, visit his mother, and then return to Jiangyuan County. Before that, he would prepare everything so as not to stay in Chenggu County.

Uncle Meng felt it was the right thing to do, so he asked Shu Yu to go with him.

Just then, Tao, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly said, "Honey, why don't you make a list for them? Otherwise, those two young people won't know what to buy. You know these things, so write it down for them so they don't forget anything."

“Okay, Yunzheng, let’s go to the study, your uncle will write it for you.”

"Okay." Meng Yunzheng led his uncle to the study.

As soon as they left, Tao turned to Meng Han and instructed her, "Go and make a pot of tea for your father and your cousin."

Shu Yu: "I'll go."

"Let her go." Tao smiled and pulled Shu Yu back. "Ahan is not young anymore, but she has no sense of propriety at all. She should be trained so that she doesn't really think of herself as a young lady."

Shu Yu raised an eyebrow; she was now quite curious about what Tao was planning to do.

Therefore, she didn't say anything more, but Meng Han looked at her with some worry. Based on her understanding of Tao Shi, she felt that her mother was going to cause some trouble.

But since Tao pushed her out of the main room to make tea, which was a serious matter, she couldn't refuse and went to the kitchen.

So, Uncle Meng and Meng Yunzheng went to the study, Yingxi and Xia Yan went to feed the horses and harness the carriage, and Meng Han went to the kitchen to make tea. The entire main room was left with only the three of them.

Tao finally let go of Shu Yu's hand. Her and Tao Qin's smiling expressions suddenly vanished, like a dramatic change of face.

Shu Yu looked at the two of them, "Does Auntie have something to say to me?"

"Yes." Tao nodded, then said earnestly, "Shuyu, I know I said some things yesterday that made you unhappy. After we got back to the inn, the head of the family also talked to me, telling me to get along well with you, saying that you are, after all, Yunzheng's future wife and will be a member of the Meng family in the future."

"I've thought about it carefully. Since we're family, as an elder, I can't keep quiet about some things that are on my mind."

Seeing her pretentious manner, Shu Yu nodded, "Auntie, just say what you want to say."

Tao sighed, "You've seen it yourself, Yunzheng is extremely talented in his studies. He passed the imperial examination with top honors on his first attempt. With his grades, he'll be an official sooner or later, won't he?"

No, Ah Yun's future plans don't include becoming an official.

But Shu Yu didn't speak; she just watched her quietly.

Tao said, "Auntie, you've been through a lot and seen a lot. With Yunzheng's future achievements and looks, he's definitely not someone to be underestimated; he could very well become a high-ranking official. But look at all the officials in history, which one didn't have three wives and four concubines?"

"Let alone court officials, anyone with a little bit of fame and fortune will have no shortage of female confidantes around them, and women will throw themselves at them with all their might."

"You're engaged to Yunzheng now, but it's useless. Once he becomes an official, his superiors will reward him with women. Yunzheng will have no choice but to accept them. There will be many such situations in the future, and you'll have to face them sooner or later, right?"

Shu Yu laughed, "So that's what Auntie wanted to tell me? So that's why Auntie was so eager to bring Tao Qin and A Yun together?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Tao Qin.
