The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1756: Chapter 1756: You Have to Save Your Brother

Meng Han said, ”It’s better that Tao Qin went back. Staying here is not a solution. She got my father caught, and I get annoyed just seeing her.”

Previously, Tao Qin had left the secret chamber of her own accord, nearly drawing the mountain bandits inside and endangering everyone.

But the Meng family couldn’t really do anything to her. Except for Meng Han slapping her a few times, once Uncle Meng was rescued, no one else could threaten her; they just stopped associating with her.

Now that things had calmed down outside, Tao Qin was ostracized by everyone in the Meng family. Even the aunt who used to adore her wouldn’t talk to her anymore. After leaving the secret chamber, Tao Qin returned to her own home, feeling wronged.

Meng Han wished she wouldn’t come back after leaving. Seeing her just made her uncomfortable. If it weren’t for the fact that Tao Qin was still injured, she wouldn’t have just stopped at a few slaps.

Shu Yu remained silent, feeling that the situation with the Tao family was far from over.

At the very least, once Tao Feili’s body is sent to the Tao family, Tao Qin will eventually come to find the Meng family.

However, Shu Yu thought she would at least wait until Tao Feili was buried before coming. Unexpectedly, early the next morning, while she was having breakfast in the front hall, she heard crying coming from outside.

Everyone at the dining table was startled and looked towards the door.

Meng Han frowned and said, ”Why do I think I heard... Auntie’s voice?”

Before the words even fell, a servant rushed in and said to everyone, ”Ma’am, Mrs. Tao and Miss Tao Qin are here.”

Meng Han abruptly stood up, placing her spoon back into her bowl angrily, ”What are they here for? Didn’t Tao Qin leave yesterday? Didn’t she feel bullied in our home? Does Aunt want to come and stand up for her?”

Shu Yu, who sat beside her, pulled her hand to make her sit down. ”Why are you in such a rush? We’ll know when they come.”

Meng Han snorted coldly, unable to help glancing at Ms. Tao.

Ms. Tao, however, didn’t run out happily like she usually did. Instead, she muttered, ”Does she dare to settle accounts? I want to ask her how she raised such a good daughter, pushing out her aunt to face the bandits.”

While they spoke, Mrs. Tao Zhang and Tao Qin came in crying loudly.

Ms. Tao, relieved not to see her brother, relaxed a bit. She was someone who cherished her brother deeply. If Tao Feili were present, she wouldn’t say anything.

But with only her sister-in-law and niece here on her turf, Ms. Tao carried herself with much more authority.

”Sister-in-law, what’s this about? Coming to our home at the crack of dawn crying and shouting? I’m telling you, this is all because of Tao Qin...”

Before she could finish, Zhang interrupted her.

Zhang rushed forward with tears streaming down, ”Sister-in-law, you must save your brother’s life!”

Ms. Tao was shocked. Hearing her mention her brother, she immediately became anxious, ”W-what do you mean? What happened to Feili?”

Meng Han and Meng Qi exchanged glances, both looking at Zhang with confusion.

Meng Qi roughly knew that his uncle went to the black market because his father had mentioned seeing him there, but he wasn’t clear about the details.

Only Shu Yu continued to eat breakfast with her chopsticks, as if she hadn’t heard the crying and shouting of the Zhang mother and daughter. She had a lot to do in a while, so she needed to eat her fill to have the energy for her tasks.
