Chapter 1432 Meng Qi
Upon hearing this, Meng Qi's facial muscles tensed up abruptly, and his lips pursed tightly.
Yes, Meng Han did leave a letter at home when she ran away.
She left yesterday morning, and the letter was discovered by Tao around noon.
If someone had been sent to chase them then, they could have reached the prefectural city before the city gates closed last night.
However, after seeing the letter, Tao not only didn't pursue the matter, but even got angry, blaming Meng Han for being insensible.
She felt that her daughter had become disobedient after going to the prefectural city. Tao Qin fell ill, was slapped by Shu Yu, and suffered grievances. She was almost forcibly brought back.
When she returned, Tao wanted to comfort her. Knowing that she liked the jade flute that her daughter had recently acquired, she wanted to give it to her.
The jade flute was given to Meng Han by her uncle a few months ago when he returned from a mission. Meng Han treasured it very much.
Tao Qin was also envious when she saw it, and she was naturally very happy to have the opportunity to get her hands on it.
Tao asked Meng Han to reluctantly give up Tao Qin and be considerate of her, which almost made Meng Han furious. Thinking of the slap Shu Yu had given and the words she had said, Meng Han was tempted and hit Tao Qin without saying a word.
Tao immediately retaliated with a slap, but Meng Han was agile and skillful, and dodged it.
But Tao's missed slap still completely chilled Meng Han's heart.
She didn't want to stay with Tao Shi any longer, and she didn't want to acknowledge her as her mother.
Even so, Meng Han still thoughtfully left a letter before leaving, so that they wouldn't have to search for her everywhere.
Who knew that Madam Tao was still angry and had no intention of looking for him at all. She even thought that Meng Han was just throwing a childish tantrum. What was this talk about going to the prefectural city to find her brother? With her small frame that had never traveled far from home, how could she possibly have the courage to go out? It was completely impossible.
Tao wasn't worried, so he let it go until evening.
Meng Han had not returned yet, and Tao Shi finally became anxious. She hurriedly went to find Meng Qi, who was studying at the academy, to discuss countermeasures with him.
Meng Qi was stunned when he heard this. His younger sister was thirteen years old, and the farthest place she had ever been was the prefectural city, and that was with her family. Now she had actually run away by herself?
Unlike Tao, Meng Qi cared a lot about this younger sister.
Without saying a word, he was about to ride after them, but the city gate was already closed, and Meng Qi didn't have the ability to get someone to open it for him.
He tossed and turned almost all night in the small inn by the city gate, hoping that nothing bad had really happened to Meng Han, and that she was indeed with Meng Yunzheng, resting safely in the prefectural city.
As soon as the city gates opened this morning, Meng Qi was the first to rush out, heading straight for the prefectural city.
Therefore, Meng Qi looked extremely haggard at this moment, and the bloodshot eyes were very obvious.
Fortunately, Meng Han was alright. He sat on the steps, feeling a little weak, and rubbed his temples.
Aunt He was a little worried about him, "Are you alright?"
Meng Qi looked up, smiled at her, and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay, I'll rest for a while."
"Are you going to chase after Young Master Meng? They set off an hour ago."
Meng Qi shook his head, "No, even if we chase after them, we might not be able to catch up."
Although he didn't like Meng Yunzheng, this "other people's child," he had to admit that he felt at ease with Meng Han being with him.
This man is a scholar who has traveled extensively throughout the country. With him guiding him, Meng Han might be able to broaden his horizons.
However, through this incident, Meng Qi gained a very clear understanding of Tao's attitude towards his maternal uncle's family.
This time, Mother really went too far.
If this continues, the whole family will fall apart.
