Chapter 1434 Going to Take Care of Some Business
Shu Yu suddenly realized, "I knew it! Meng Han had encountered Tao Qin stealing things when she was a child, so why did it only come to light now?"
It seems that the Tao family's actions crossed her bottom line, making it impossible for her to tolerate them any longer.
Shu Yu sighed, "Every family has its own problems." It's so rare to have understanding family members; otherwise, life is miserable every day.
"Sister Shuyu." Meng Han rode her horse to the carriage, her face flushed and her eyes sparkling. "I heard from Xia Yan that you have a huge sunflower field, it's very beautiful, and there's no one like it in the entire Da Su Dynasty, it's the only one, right? Can I go and see it sometime?"
Looking at her excited and longing expression, Shu Yu said with great regret, "You probably won't be able to see it now. The sunflowers were just harvested half a month before I came to Changjin Prefecture. Even if they are replanted now, it will take at least three months for them to grow."
"Huh?" Meng Han was indeed disappointed. Three months! Could she stay in Dong'an Prefecture for three months?
But if she missed it this time, who knows when she'd be able to see it again? Hearing Xia Yan's description, she desperately wanted to go.
Meng Han's eyes darted around, wondering if she could stall for that long.
Shu Yu watched her ride away on horseback again and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
They traveled slowly on this journey, since they weren't in a hurry and didn't want to make themselves suffer.
Especially during the first few days after arriving, Shu Yu was rushing around so fast that she almost suffered internal injuries. This time, she mostly lay lazily in the carriage and walked slowly.
Moreover, it was summer, and the weather was extremely hot. Traveling at midday was simply unbearable, so they would wait until it was cooler before setting off.
Shu Yu would occasionally ride horses with Meng Yunzheng for a couple of laps, and they would stop for a picnic when they found a suitable spot.
Meng Han had never experienced such a life before, and she maintained great enthusiasm throughout the journey.
However, such a decadent lifestyle became quite boring after a while. As they approached Dong'an Prefecture, they all wanted to get home as quickly as possible, so they suddenly sped up.
"Finally arrived." Upon seeing the city gate of Dong'an Prefecture, Shu Yu stretched and let out a big breath.
Meng Han poked her head out and asked, "Is this Dong'an Prefecture? Sister Shuyu, it's still early, shall we go straight back to Jiangyuan County?"
"No, I'll stay in Dong'an Prefecture for the night. I have some things to do."
"What's up? I'll go with you." Meng Han had regained her energy.
Before Shu Yu could refuse, Meng Yunzheng said directly, "You don't need to go, stay at the inn."
Meng Han, "..."
Well, Meng Han still didn't dare to refute her cousin's words.
She looked at Shu Yu pitifully, but the latter did not respond to her gaze.
She was going to Dongqing Temple and also to see the Xiao family. The fewer people who knew about the Xiao family's whereabouts, the better. Meng Han was too young to know anything, so it was best not to take her along.
Meng Han thought that Meng Yunzheng would also go with Shu Yu, but after they put their things down at the inn, Shu Yu left with only Ying Xi.
Meng Han felt a surge of joy. It seemed her cousin had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and was worried that she would be scared alone in this unfamiliar place.
No sooner had they settled their luggage than Meng Yunzheng said to Xia Yan, "You watch over her, I'm going out to take care of something."
Meng Han, "..."
I'm sorry, she was just being presumptuous.
