Chapter 2291 The letter sent by Shu Quan from the Shu family

Wan Yan was overjoyed and handed the letter directly to Meng Yunzheng.

The latter instructed Xia Yan, "You must personally deliver this letter to Aunt Hou, tell her that it was sent by Young Master Wan, and explain the situation here to Aunt Hou."

"Yes." Xia Yan left.

The doctor happened to arrive and examined Wan Yan's injuries. Fortunately, they weren't serious; he had just scraped his skin and slightly twisted his ankle. He advised Wan Yan to avoid walking and rest, and to check on his condition again tomorrow.

Wan Yan was not worried at all upon hearing the result; on the contrary, he was quite pleased. “Headmaster Meng, I didn’t expect my body to be so weak. I thought it was just a minor injury, but now I can’t even walk. I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you today.”

Meng Yunzheng had already guessed the purpose of his visit, and upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "How could it be considered an inconvenience? There are guest rooms in the academy, so please feel free to stay. I see you must be tired from your journey, so let someone take you to rest first, and we can talk again later?"

"Yes, thank you very much, Headmaster Meng."

After settling Wan Yan in, Meng Yunzheng returned to the meeting. However, the thought of that letter still bothered him somewhat.

Xia Yan had already rushed down the mountain. He asked an old farmer in the field and learned that Shu Yu and Aunt Hou were in the manor, so he ran straight there.

Shu Yu had just cut a watermelon when she saw Xia Yan coming over. She immediately greeted him, "It's better to be lucky than early. This watermelon is freshly taken from the well, it's ice-cold. Here's a slice for you."

Xia Yan thanked her and, without rushing to get it, said to Madam Hou, "Madam Hou, Young Master Wan has arrived."

Outside, everyone calls her Mrs. Hou.

Aunt Hou had just taken a bite of the watermelon tip when she realized Xia Yan had come to see her. She blinked and asked, "Who did you say was here?"

"Young Master Wan Yan."

Hou almost dropped the watermelon in her hand, her face full of shock. "What's he doing here? Has something happened to the Wan family?"

“The Wan family is fine, but Young Master suspects that Young Master Wan came here privately to see the two gentlemen. However, he told Young Master that he came here to deliver a letter to you.” Xia Yan glanced at Shu Yu beside him and added, “It was sent from the Southwest.”

Shu Yu stopped and looked at Hou Shi. "A letter from the Southwest? Aunt Hou, do you correspond with the Southwest frequently?"

"No." Hou looked suspicious, put the watermelon in her hand aside, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and then took the letter from Xia Yan. "I stayed in the southwest for a year, and spent more than half a year living in the post station. After I returned to the capital, I only sent two letters in the first year. After that, the people at the post station changed, and we didn't keep in touch much, especially not during holidays."

As they were talking, Hou opened the envelope.

She first looked at the sender on the last letter, and when she saw the name, she froze, then looked up at Shu Yu.

The latter instinctively knew the person and asked, "Who sent it?"

Sure enough, Madam Hou opened her mouth and said in a low voice, "Shu Quan, second son of the Shu family."

Shu Quan?

Whether it's the Hou family or Shu Yu, they've long since broken ties with the Shu family and completely cut off all contact. At this time, why would the Shu family still send a letter to the Hou family? Besides, do they even have the money to send a letter?

"Let's see what they said?"

"Okay." Madam Hou hurriedly started reading from the beginning, and the more she read, the uglier her expression became. In the end, she even gasped.
