Chapter 1618 Tao's Serious Illness?
But the letter that Meng Han has now, although also sent by Tao, has a negative tone.
Meng Han was stunned after looking at the whole person. Looking at Shu Yu, who hadn't left yet, she said in a panic, "What should I do? Sister Yu, my mother is sick. She's very sick. I... I have to go back."
Although Meng Han disliked Tao Shi's favoritism towards Tao Qin, she was still her own mother and naturally wouldn't want anything to happen to her. Being young, she panicked especially in this situation.
Shu Yu grabbed her hand. "Calm down. Did the letter mention any illness?"
Meng Han handed the letter directly to her, saying, "Take a look."
Shu Yu glanced at it and quickly finished reading.
The letter was written in a very urgent tone, but Tao didn't mention what illness she had. She only said that the doctor told her to eat well and relax. She also said that she missed Meng Han very much and hoped that Meng Han would come back to see her one last time.
The last time?
Shu Yu's lips twitched; this letter had been delivered by express courier.
But to be honest, it's really hard to tell whether Tao is telling the truth or not, although Shu Yu tends to think that it's false.
However, this was just her guess, and it wouldn't be appropriate to stop Meng Han from going back because of it.
Meng Han was clearly nervous. She handed the letter back to her and sighed softly, "Don't panic. Your brother is still at home. If it's really serious, he should be able to contact you to come back."
Meng Han was stunned, as if she had grasped a lifeline, "So my mother is alright?"
That's hard to say.
"...What I mean is, even if I am sick, it shouldn't be too serious."
Upon hearing this, Meng Han's confused mind finally cleared up a bit.
Yes, yes, Sister Yu is right. If it really comes to that, then this letter will be written by her brother.
She slowly exhaled and looked up at Shu Yu. "But I still have to go back."
Shu Yu nodded, glanced at the sky, and said, "A-Yun should be back soon. Then we'll..."
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Before Shu Yu had finished speaking, the footsteps of Meng Pei and Meng Yunzheng could be heard outside the door.
The father and son entered together. Upon seeing his niece, who had been away for several days, return, Meng Pei immediately smiled and asked, "Did you have a good time in the prefectural city these past few days, Ahan?"
Meng Yunzheng, with his sharp eyes, was the first to notice Shu Yu's slightly furrowed brows and Meng Han's tense expression, and immediately asked, "What happened?"
Meng Han quickened her pace, and thinking of the contents of the letter, her voice inexplicably choked with emotion. "Uncle, cousin, my mother sent an urgent letter saying that I should see her one last time. What should I do?"
Meng Pei and Meng Yunzheng's hearts skipped a beat at the same time, and they took the letter from Meng Han and began to read it.
After a moment, Meng Yunzheng comforted her, "You should rest well today. I will contact the escort agency first thing tomorrow morning and arrange for someone to take you back to Changjin Mansion."
Meng Han nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll listen to my cousin."
Meng Pei, who was standing to the side, stroked his chin and said to the two of them, "I'll take Ahan back."
"Father? Didn't you say you were going to escort a shipment south in a couple of days?"
"That's alright. There's another batch of goods to be delivered to Huajiang Prefecture. I'll tell the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) to switch people, and I'll go through the Huajiang Prefecture route."
Huajiang Prefecture is relatively close to Changjin Prefecture. After that batch of goods is safely delivered, he can take Ahan home by himself. There shouldn't be any problem.
