Chapter 1426 Take it home

Meng Xiaoshu's words were quite serious. Tao Shi and Tao Qin were stunned and looked up at him in disbelief.

Uncle Meng took a deep breath and said to Meng Han, "Go pack your things, we're going home now."

"Okay, okay, Dad." Meng Han nodded repeatedly, swallowed hard, and hurriedly slipped away.

Uncle Meng then turned around and said to Meng Yunzheng with a face full of apology, "Yunzheng, I'm sorry. I originally thought that since you passed the academy exam, the whole family would come to celebrate with you and have a good time, but I didn't expect to cause you trouble. I'll go back first. Don't worry, I won't let anyone ruin your marriage."

For Uncle Meng, although the Tao family were his brothers-in-law and his father-in-law had saved his life, they still couldn't compare to his elder brother Meng Pei. Back then, the brothers depended on each other for survival, and everything he had today was thanks to his elder brother. As for Tao Qin, she naturally couldn't compare to his own nephew Meng Yunzheng.

Moreover, Tao Qin's actions today have made Uncle Meng even more disgusted.

If someone like that marries Yunzheng, won't she become a burden to him in the future?

It seems he'll have to have a serious talk with his brother-in-law when he gets back.

Uncle Meng let out a breath, then turned to Shu Yu and said, "You and Yunzheng should get along well. Your aunt handled this matter unfairly. Uncle is absolutely on your side and hopes that you and Yunzheng will get married, have children, and live a long life together. You were chosen by Yunzheng, and Uncle knows that Yunzheng has good taste. You are also a good girl."

Shu Yu laughed. Apart from disagreeing with Meng Xiaoshu's attitude towards the Tao family, she respected him greatly in other aspects.

"Thank you, Uncle."

As they were talking, Meng Han had already packed her things and came over. "Dad, are we leaving now?"

"Let's go." Uncle Meng walked to Tao's side and pulled Tao up.

Tao struggled, "What are you doing? I'm not leaving, Aqin is still sick..."

"You're not leaving, huh? Then don't ever come back." Uncle Meng said with a stern face, still carrying a hint of fierceness.

Having traveled extensively throughout the country for many years, he naturally developed a bit of a bandit-like air about him.

Seeing him like this, Tao felt inexplicably frightened, but she didn't struggle any further and let Uncle Meng pull her out of the courtyard.

Xia Yan had already cleverly led the carriage to the door. Uncle Meng let the two of them get in. Meng Han was at the very back. He waved excitedly to Shu Yu and quickly got in as well.

As soon as the person was settled, Uncle Meng shook the reins and left without saying a word.

In the blink of an eye, the once lively and noisy Meng family fell silent.

Shu Yu turned her head and exchanged a glance with Meng Yunzheng. "Just like that... you left?"

"You want them to stay for dinner?"

Shu Yu said with a smile, "No, it's just quite sudden. So what do we do now?"

Meng Yunzheng checked the time. "Let's go shopping on the street."

"All right."

Meng Yunzheng took the list that his uncle had just written and dragged Shu Yu shopping.

Yingxi stayed at home guarding the door, so when Aunt He came over with a large basket of vegetables, she saw her alone.

Aunt He was stunned. When she heard Ying Xi say that Uncle Meng's family had already left, she was even more surprised. Then she looked down at the vegetables in the basket—had she bought too much?

The food I bought yesterday afternoon hasn't been cooked yet, and today I have another big basketful. It's going to spoil in this hot weather.

Aunt He was very worried.
