The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Shu Yu spat out the tea in her mouth with a 'pfft'.

She looked at Meng Pei in astonishment, she really was too naive.

Yes, she was too naive!!

Meng Pei pretended not to notice her shock and continued like a benevolent and understanding old father, "Father knows, you didn't tell me, firstly because the conditions didn't allow it, and secondly because you were thinking of me. You are both filial and sensible, and I am very gratified."

Meng Yunzheng chuckled and nodded, anyway, you've said everything, black and white, contradicting yourself.

Shu Yu thought, the fact that Meng Yunzheng could experience such upheaval at ten years old, and live under Gong Qiu's oppression for ten years without becoming extreme or vengeful towards society, but instead grew into a positive and outstanding young man, was largely influenced by his own precociousness and capability, but also greatly due to Meng Pei being his father.

Meng Pei no longer scolded him, only occasionally glaring at Meng Yunzheng.

Meng Yunzheng was used to this kind of glare.

After the group had lunch, Meng Yunzheng went into the room with Meng Pei to talk, telling him everything that had happened during this period.

It was only then that Shu Yu seized the opportunity to find Zhao Xi, and quietly asked him, "You didn't tell him about the Yao Family, did you?"

If he had, Meng Yunzheng wouldn't have reacted the way he did.

Sure enough, Zhao Xi shook his head, whispering mysteriously as well, "Of course not, anyway, I've already avenged you on this matter."

Avenged??

Shu Yu looked at him suspiciously, then thought of how attentive he had been when treating Yao An's wound earlier.

She squinted her eyes slightly, "Did you tamper with the medicine?"

"Yes," Zhao Xi snickered, "that wound of his won't heal within a month, and it'll be particularly painful."

Yao An was whipped twenty times with a rattan whip by Yao Tianqin, then Zhao Xi applied the medicine, plus the resentment stuck in his heart, he was already half-dead.

If Meng Yunzheng found out at this critical moment, Zhao Xi feared it would lead to someone's death.

Shu Yu nodded, indeed, she wasn't at the point of wanting Yao An's life yet.

Due to Meng Pei and his arrival, to welcome them and for a family reunion, Zhao Xi reserved a table at a restaurant for dinner.

After the lively family dinner, they retired early.

The next day, Meng Yunzheng took Meng Pei to the outskirts to pay respects to Song Xin.

This time, Shu Yu didn't go with them; Meng Pei was different from Meng Yunzheng.

This is the capital, too close to Gong Qiu. Not to mention there were people watching at the Quansheng Escort Agency in Tianning County, there were even more watchers at Song Xin's grave in the outskirts.

Meng Yunzheng could come to pay respects to his mother from time to time, but Meng Pei had never been able to, he could only speak to her tablet, enduring his grief, fearing that he couldn't avenge his wife without endangering his son.

Going up the mountain this time, he probably had many things to tell his wife, so it wasn't convenient for Shu Yu to follow.

Coincidentally, Zhao Xi and his master also went out.

Shu Yu took this opportunity to stroll around the streets.

Despite having been in the capital for over a month, Shu Yu had never carefully wandered the streets like today.

After all, the capital was different from Dongan Province, it was more prosperous, not only with more officials and nobility, but with more vendors too.

The small courtyard where Shu Yu stayed was located in the south of the city, coincidentally, the area with the most vendors was also in the south.

This area was lined with shops, and there really were many good things.

Among them, there was even a shop specializing in selling imported goods.
