Days passed, and Zhao Wan stayed in the Meng family for

a long time. She would often run into Meng Xun in the mansion, and every time she would greet him politely and distantly, saying "Hello, second brother".

Although Meng Xun was reluctant, he could only stiffen his handsome face and say "Hello, sister-in-law".

The two were very polite and distant.

Except for a dispensable greeting when they met, they had never said anything else.

They didn't look like people who had lived under the same roof for almost a month.

On this day, during breakfast, Meng Xun and Zhao Wan took their seats, and the two of them ate quietly with their heads down as usual.

Zhao Wan had a good appetite recently, and it seemed that she ate more than when she first entered the Meng family.

She preferred the plate of sweet and sour pork ribs on the table, and stretched her chopsticks towards it several times.

When there was only one piece of tenderloin left on the plate, Zhao Wan reached out with her chopsticks to grab it. At this moment, another pair of chopsticks also reached out, and the two pairs of chopsticks unexpectedly touched a piece. Zhao

Wan looked up and found that it was Meng Xun who reached out with his chopsticks.

Not wanting to compete with a man, she lowered her eyelashes and immediately took back her chopsticks.

At the same time, Meng Xun also took back his chopsticks.

The two said in unison:

"Sister-in-law, you go first."

"Second brother, you go first."

Meng Xun could not do anything to compete with a weak woman for food, so he naturally insisted on giving it to Zhao Wan.

He didn't think much about it, and picked up the piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin and put it in Zhao Wan's bowl, "Sister-in-law, please eat it. I don't particularly like sour food."

Zhao Wan lowered her eyes and looked at the piece of pork tenderloin in the bowl that was picked up by the man. She was a little embarrassed. How could a brother-in-law pick up food for his sister-in-law?

The dish was stained with Meng Xun's saliva after being on his chopsticks. She couldn't pick it up and throw it away, as it would be embarrassing.

And, to be honest, she really wanted to eat this piece of pork tenderloin. For some reason, her mouth was so greasy that she wanted to eat something sour.

Zhao Wan raised her eyes and secretly glanced at her mother-in-law. Mrs. Meng was just holding the bowl to drink soup, and it seemed that she didn't see the scene of Meng Xun picking up food for Zhao Wan.

Seeing that Madam Meng didn't say anything, Zhao Wan couldn't resist the gluttony in her body, and took a bite of the sweet and sour pork tenderloin in the bowl.

The sour and sweet taste melted in her mouth, Zhao Wan's eyebrows relaxed, and she happily ate another big mouthful of rice.

Seeing Zhao Wan's happy look, Meng Xun secretly took note of this sweet and sour pork tenderloin. After the meal, he asked the chef to make another plate tomorrow.

*

Zhao Wan has lived in the Meng family for almost a month, and it will be a few days before Meng Zhao returns home as Madam Meng said.

Another day at breakfast, when the meal was almost finished, Zhao Wan mentioned: "Mother, will my husband be returning home in two days? Should I get ready to pick him up?"

When it came to Meng Zhao, Madam Meng's originally happy expression suddenly froze.

Meng Zhao had healthy legs and a fast horse, so he could run without leaving a trace.

The servants sent out would always find traces of him and finally catch up with him.

But before they could even touch the horse's butt, he ran away again.

It had been almost a month, and they still hadn't caught him. Madam Meng was so worried.

Meng Xun was in charge of the task of finding Meng Zhao. Madam Meng didn't know the specific situation, so she asked Meng Xun in a vague way:

"Xun'er, is your elder brother coming back soon? I'm old, and my memory is not good. I can't remember the date very clearly."

Yesterday, a servant came to report that the eldest young master's traces were found in Fu County. Dozens of servants joined forces to encircle and suppress him, and guarded all the exits of Fu County. This time, they should be able to catch the eldest young master.

Meng Xun thought that this matter should be almost certain, so he said to Madam Meng: "Well, it will be soon. If not in the next two days, then in three or five days, I will send someone to make arrangements and go to the mountain to bring my eldest brother back."

He turned his head and said to Zhao Wan: "The mountain road is rugged and bumpy. Sister-

in-law, you can just wait at home and don't have to go there in person." Zhao Wan nodded: "Then I will ask my second brother to bring my husband back."

Zhao Wan kept calling him "husband", which made Meng Xun feel a little depressed.

When his eldest brother was away, he almost forgot that this was a woman who already had a husband.

Soon, his eldest brother would be back, and Zhao Wan would become his real sister-in-law.

Meng Xun frowned, and the depression in his heart became heavier for no reason.

He suppressed his gloom and said in a calm voice: "No need to be polite among family members."

Then he looked away and no longer looked at Zhao Wan.
