Chapter 1775 The Sister Should Be Buried with Her Brother
For the next half day, Shu Yu remained on the city wall until Inspector Yin came to relieve her. Only then did she drag her tired body back to the Meng Family Escort Agency.
After she went back to her room and took a nap, she woke up to find Xia Yan running over and saying, "Second Miss, Wu Laosan has been arrested, and all those rebels have been captured by General Huang."
Shu Yu was overjoyed, "Really?"
"Yes." Xia Yan nodded repeatedly. "General Huang sent someone to say that the young lady had been frightened. Yesterday, Wu Laosan wanted to fight to the death, so he led those rebels to attack the villages outside the city. Fortunately, General Huang was prepared and had already arranged for his men to go out. However, as a result, some places could not be taken care of, which is why a small group of rebels came to our side."
When the rebels stormed the village, there were no other obstacles around the village except for the traps that the villagers had dug themselves.
The county town has city walls, and the city gates are still closed. Unless a large army attacks, they simply cannot get in.
Therefore, General Huang had to take care of the nearby villages first.
Fortunately, everyone has been brought down, and once the follow-up issues are resolved, normal traffic will resume in Chenggu County.
Shu Yu felt relieved and then slowly washed up and ate.
When she arrived at the flower hall, she saw Tao Shi. The latter was walking unsteadily and almost bumped into her.
Shu Yu quickly stepped aside to avoid her, and after regaining her balance, she looked at Tao Shi again. Tao Shi finally came to her senses, but her reaction seemed a bit slow. She nodded to Shu Yu and then continued walking forward.
Shu Yu blinked and asked Ying Xi beside her, "What happened?"
Yingxi shook her head. She had been following Shuyu and really didn't know what was wrong with Tao Shi.
Just then, Meng Han ran over, and Shu Yu stopped her, glancing in the direction of the Tao family. She frowned and asked, "What happened? You went to the Tao family yesterday to handle Tao Feili's funeral arrangements, right? What happened?"
Speaking of this, Meng Han was still very angry. "Yesterday we wanted to offer incense to our uncle, but when we got to the Tao family's house, our aunt kept the door closed and wouldn't let us in. The neighbors pointed and whispered about us, and we don't know what rumors our aunt had been spreading these past few days, but everyone was saying our family was heartless. It wasn't until Brother Lu Wu and the others brought our uncle's body back that our aunt opened the door. We wanted to pay our respects to our uncle, but our aunt cried and wailed and chased us away. We had expected all of this, so it wasn't surprising. But then my ten-year-old cousin suddenly rushed out with a pair of scissors, saying he wanted my mother to be buried with our uncle."
Everyone was stunned, but Tao's cousin didn't care. He even said with absolute certainty that Tao should be buried alive with Tao Feili. Therefore, as the older sister, she had to take care of their father while he was alive, and now that their father was dead, Tao should naturally go down to the underworld to accompany and take care of him.
Many people came to the Tao family's house at that time, and the neighbors were all stunned when they heard this.
Even Tao was incredulous. Meng Qi knocked the scissors out of Tao's cousin's hand, scolded him, and warned him not to talk nonsense.
Tao's cousin was hurt and scolded, so he started crying and yelling, cursing Meng Qi and Meng Han. However, the person he cursed the most and the most viciously was Tao's mother, who had always loved him the most.
He said his parents told him that Tao Shi should serve the Tao family like a slave. They said Tao Shi was incompetent, still unable to control all the family property. They called Tao Shi a fool, neglecting her own daughter while showering her nephews and nieces with affection. He even said he would eventually coax Tao Shi into giving the entire Meng family to the Tao family, all of which he, Tao Feili, had provided.
