Chapter 1992 Meng Han's Marriage is Settled
Liao and Gan Yujing immediately assured, "There won't be any more, don't worry. Once the marriage is settled, no one will be able to sabotage Arui and Ahan."
Tao nodded, but she still felt uneasy.
Shu Yu didn't get involved; she had dealt with Cheng Jiatong, so the matter of marriage negotiations was no longer her concern.
Wealthy families have many troubles, but small families don't necessarily have fewer. Nothing in this world is perfect; it all depends on the kind of people you choose.
Once the explanation was clear, the atmosphere between Tao, Liao, and Gan Yujing became much more harmonious.
There's no better time than today, so the Liao family invited the Tao family and Meng Han to visit the Gan family.
Tao considered it for a moment and asked Shu Yu if she was interested, but Shu Yu had other things to do and declined.
When Tao returned in the evening, she was beaming with joy, and the slight unease she felt in the morning had vanished. She told everyone, "The Gan family is truly magnificent; each courtyard is so large. I even went to see Gan Rui's courtyard. It's quiet, comfortable, and a large, secluded area. After Ahan marries there, her life will surely be very peaceful."
Comfortable? It seems that Mrs. Liao made quite a few promises to her today.
Cheng Jiatong's incident made the Gan family feel somewhat guilty, and with this in mind, they inevitably became more enthusiastic towards Tao Shi and Meng Han.
Since both sides were satisfied, the next step was to discuss the marriage.
Tao took Meng Han back to Chenggu County first. Two days later, Gan's father, eldest brother and sister-in-law, and Gan Yujing, along with the whole family and the matchmaker, went to the Meng family escort agency in Chenggu County to propose marriage.
Shu Yu had never seen such a scene before, but Meng Han said it was very lively at the time.
Especially Uncle Meng and Father Gan, one was a warrior and the other a pedantic scholar.
Uncle Meng always viewed scholars with a biased perspective; otherwise, he wouldn't have fantasized that the talentless Meng Qi would pass the imperial examination and become a scholar. Gan's father, on the other hand, was a very dignified and refined man, appearing on the surface to be a learned and erudite scholar.
Uncle Meng was very willing to talk to him—no, according to him, to ask for advice. Although he didn't understand most of what he said, it didn't hinder his strong social skills.
Gan's father appreciated this admiration, especially since the other person was someone who traveled frequently and was well-informed. Despite his aloof demeanor, Gan's father thoroughly enjoyed listening to Uncle Meng's stories and admired his strong physique and martial arts skills, which made him feel very safe.
When Shu Yu heard this, the corner of her mouth twitched violently.
She thought these two people with completely opposite personalities would dislike each other when they met, but she didn't expect them to be quite... harmonious and complementary?
The engagement was settled, and Gan Rui and Meng Han became engaged.
As for the timing of the wedding, just as Shu Yu said, it will have to wait until Meng Han turns seventeen, which is still three years away.
Three years seemed a bit long to the Gan family, but Gan Rui had no objection, so they decided on that.
After the engagement, Gan Rui became increasingly open about visiting Meng Han. Previously, Meng Han had shown great interest in the trips that A Rui and his two companions had taken, and Gan Rui noticed this and knew she enjoyed traveling, so he took her to visit the surrounding counties, showing her all the places he had been to.
This dedication pleased Tao.
But Tao soon began to worry again, and a few days later he came to see Shuyu again, saying that he wanted to buy a shop.
"Buy a shop?" Shu Yu was somewhat surprised when she heard her request.
