Chapter 1229 The Reason for Returning Late
Unexpectedly, Ying Xi actually nodded, and then said in a slightly weak voice, "Yes, it's Yao An and his sister and Wang Jiayi."
Shu Yu frowned. "They've returned from the capital?"
"Yes." Ying Xi nodded. "I think Yao An's injury has improved, but he still walks with a limp. I don't know if it's because of the medicine that Doctor Zhao used last time, or because he rushed home before his injury was fully healed. In any case, all three of them have lost a lot of weight."
Shu Yu recalled the time she wrote a letter to Yao Tianqin after seeing the Yao family's restaurant in Huajiang Prefecture charging exorbitant prices.
It's unclear whether her letter had an effect, or whether Yao Tianqin had originally planned to send Yao An and his sister back.
Yingxi said, "Young Master Meng didn't know the Yao siblings and didn't pay attention to them at first, so I didn't dare to say anything. As a result, Yao An threw a tantrum and mentioned the young lady's name in his words."
At that time, Meng Yunzheng and his party had finished their business and were having lunch at a restaurant in the prefectural city. After finishing their meal, they set off back to Jiangyuan County.
However, when they left the city, they passed by the restaurant owned by the Yao family.
Meng Yunzheng thought of the letter Shu Yu sent to Yao Tianqin, wondering if the other party had taken any action after receiving it, and whether the price had been lowered.
Since we're passing by, we might as well go in and take a look. After we find out the details, we can give Shuyu a definite answer when we get back.
Meng Yunzheng asked the others to wait outside for a moment, and went inside to take a look.
The price actually came down. Not only that, the model of the high-speed rotating drum on the restaurant counter was gone, replaced by the God of Wealth. The manager's expression was completely different from the last time he had seen him.
Meng Yunzheng was satisfied and prepared to leave.
Yao An and his group entered at this time; they had just disembarked from the boat.
The Yao family sent servants to greet them at the dock, but unexpectedly, it was their half-brother who came to greet them.
His half-brother kept blaming him on the way, saying that he had caused trouble in the capital, not only bringing disaster upon himself but also his family. The restaurant's business had plummeted, and there wasn't a single customer.
Upon hearing this, Yao An nearly kicked his half-brother out of the carriage. He refused to believe it, thinking that Yao Tianqin wouldn't be so ruthless. So the carriage took a detour and arrived at the entrance of the restaurant.
After Yao An and his companions got out of the car, they saw the empty restaurant and finally couldn't help but start cursing.
Not only did he curse Yao Tianqin and his family of three, but he also verbally abused Shu Yu, implying that he should have just forced himself on her.
Meng Yunzheng, who was about to get into the car, overheard these words. His expression changed immediately, and he turned around to stare at Yao An and the others.
Fortunately, Yao An was quickly stopped and taken inside the restaurant, and stopped shouting.
But Meng Yunzheng turned his gaze to Ying Xi. Of the people present, only Ying Xi had been by Shu Yu's side the whole time and knew what had happened.
Yingxi had no choice. Neither Miss nor Doctor Zhao originally intended to say anything, but who knew Yao An would reveal it himself?
So she had no choice but to recount the whole process in detail.
Then, Meng Yunzheng decided not to leave the city that day and found an inn to stay in.
The next day, they began inquiring about the Yao family, clearly indicating that they were about to do something big.
Upon hearing this, Shu Yu finally couldn't help but facepalm. She hadn't expected that Yao An would actually court death, and there was nothing she could do to stop him.
"And then? What happened to him? What did he do to Yao An?"
