Chapter 1412 Meng Yunzheng Returns
Shu Yu sighed, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Auntie, I did want to cook myself. But my cooking skills are really not that great. Ah Yun is worried about my hard work, so she'll eat it even if it tastes bad. But I can't torture you. You've come all this way, so you should at least have a good meal."
"Well, then we don't need to buy it from a restaurant. You're not a good cook, so you can help out. Aunt He can cook it, right?"
Shu Yu's expression turned slightly cold, her smile ambiguous. "However, Aunt He's hand was injured before, and now it's even inconvenient for her to flip the wok."
Aunt He, who was cleaning the chickens, walked past the doorway of the main room and thought, "..."
She glanced at Shu Yu, then at Tao Shi, and then rubbed her right wrist. "It hurts so much, it hurts so much. How did killing a chicken cause my old injury to flare up again? I need to find some ointment."
Aunt He walked to the kitchen with her head down.
Shu Yu smiled at Tao Shi, "Auntie doesn't seem too tired. If you're worried about spending too much money buying groceries at the restaurant, why don't you cook? I can help you, after all, you're my elder. Besides, Auntie knows Uncle and Sister Han's tastes best."
Tao's face darkened, and Uncle Meng finally sensed that something was wrong.
He frowned and pulled Tao Shi aside, "What did you just say? How could you let Shu Yu work as Aunt He's assistant? It won't sound good if word gets out."
Tao's expression was stiff.
Just then, a sound came from the back door again.
Aunt He came out of the kitchen and ran into the main room, saying, "Young Master Meng is back."
As soon as she finished speaking, Uncle Meng rushed out first.
"Yunzheng".
Meng Yunzheng, who was walking in with his head down, suddenly stopped when he heard the familiar voice and looked up in surprise.
"Uncle??"
"Hahahaha." Uncle Meng was overjoyed and patted Meng Yunzheng's shoulder twice. "Well done! You didn't disgrace the Meng family. You even won the top three in the imperial examination. You've really brought honor to the Meng family."
Meng Yunzheng seemed quite relaxed when he saw him. "Uncle, please don't praise me."
The two walked towards the main room while talking, and Meng Yunzheng's relaxed expression disappeared when he saw Tao Shi.
Clearly, his relationship with Tao was not very good.
He walked up to Shu Yu and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Tao didn't bully you, did she?"
Shu Yu laughed and said, "It's alright. How did you get away? Didn't those people stop you?"
"They tried to stop him." But he refused them all, since Ayu had said she wanted to go home to celebrate.
But his imagined celebration fell through; not only did his uncle come, but Tao's family also showed up.
Meng Yunzheng was a little unhappy, but he couldn't show it too much in front of his uncle.
But when he entered the house and saw Meng Han and Tao Qin, Meng Yunzheng's brows furrowed even more.
He looked at Uncle Meng, "And this is..."
Before Uncle Meng could speak, Madam Tao quickly said, "This is Aqin, my younger brother's daughter."
"I wonder what brings Miss Tao here?"
“Oh, Qin hasn’t been feeling well these past few days. We just happened to be coming to the prefectural city, so we brought her here to see a doctor. Yunzheng, you’ve lived in this prefectural city for a while now, so you know this place well. Why don’t you recommend a good doctor to Qin and take her to see him another day?”
Meng Yunzheng suddenly wanted to laugh; Tao Shi used to look down on him.
What does this mean?
