Chapter 1428 Running Away from Home
Shu Yu snapped out of her daze, smiled, and shook her head. "No, Aunt He's cooking is delicious."
After saying that, remembering that Aunt He was a local, she couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, when I passed by the brokerage shop earlier, I saw a lot of people selling themselves. Did something happen at Changjin Mansion?"
Aunt He was taken aback, then shook her head. "No, nothing major has happened in the prefectural city recently, except for the provincial examination. Don't be surprised, young lady. In places like brokerage firms, many people sell their children just to make a living."
Shu Yu certainly knew this, but there were far too many people involved.
Her home was in Dong'an Prefecture. She had been to the capital, Huajiang Prefecture, Shangyang Prefecture, and Linzhang Prefecture. Except for Shangyang Prefecture and Linzhang Prefecture, where she only stayed for one night, she stayed for several days or for a period of time in the other three places.
Unfortunately, she had been to all three dental clinics.
However, none of these three brokerage firms were as extravagant as the one in Changjin Prefecture.
There's nothing particularly special about Changjin Prefecture.
Shu Yu couldn't figure it out, but it wasn't really her concern. Apart from feeling strange and temporarily abandoning the idea of opening a shop here, she didn't pay much attention to it.
However, the next morning, she went out for a stroll again and couldn't resist going to the dental clinic.
The number of people coming and going at the brokerage was slightly less than the previous day, but it was still more than she had imagined.
Shu Yu returned home once again, still confused.
Meng Yunzheng returned in the evening.
To Shu Yu's surprise, Meng Han also came along with Meng Yunzheng.
Meng Han was clearly delighted. As soon as she got off the carriage, she rushed to Shu Yu and said excitedly, "Sister Shu Yu, I'm going to Dong'an Prefecture with you."
Shu Yu blinked, looking at her with confusion, then at Meng Yunzheng.
The latter seemed unhappy, saying, "I met him on the way."
Meng Han pitifully grabbed Shu Yu's hand and said, "Sister Shu Yu, please don't send me away. I'm homeless now. You don't know, Tao Qin upset me again this morning, and I couldn't hold back and hit her. Then I ran away."
She hit Tao Qin for the first time, feeling both excited and worried, afraid that her mother and uncle would scold her. So after hitting her, she quickly packed her bags and ran away.
However, she didn't know many people, and most of her relatives lived in Chenggu County. The only people she could rely on were her uncle and cousin.
So she waited for her eldest cousin at the city gate with her luggage. However, despite his seemingly elegant and polite appearance, he was actually quite ruthless. He pretended not to see her and walked away.
Meng Han almost vomited blood, but since she had already left, she couldn't go back. Even if she had only one breath left, she had to follow them to the prefectural city.
She left the city gate on her own and headed towards the prefectural city. It's alright, if her cousin won't take her, she'll go find her sister Shuyu.
However, Meng Han was young and it was her first time going out alone. Her naivety made her a target for others.
Someone tried to kidnap her on the way, but Meng Han was skilled enough to prevent them from succeeding.
But there were too many people taking advantage of the situation, and Meng Han couldn't handle them. Just when she was about to be taken away, Meng Yunzheng appeared and took her with him.
Shu Yu looked Meng Han up and down. No wonder she looked so disheveled when she came down, as if she had rolled on the ground.
She quickly asked Aunt He to boil some water so that Meng Han could take a bath first.
After Meng Han entered the house, she asked Meng Yunzheng, "What happened?"
