Chapter 1768: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1768: Tao Shi's Decision
Meng Pei was a broad-minded person, probably due to having experienced loss before. In his heart, the safety and well-being of his loved ones weighed much heavier than any inanimate objects.
The Xuanyuan Sword had been inadvertently acquired by his grandfather and couldn't truly be considered a treasured family heirloom. By giving it away, he treated it as if the sword had taken a detour through the Meng family and was now leaving, destined to find a suitable owner in the future.
"However, I need to discuss this with your uncle and Ah Yun, as well as Meng Qi, before making a decision. In case any of them wants to keep the sword, then... they'll be responsible for it themselves."
Shu Yu found it quite amusing and left the Mi family clinic with Meng Pei.
She didn't bring up the topic of the Xuanyuan Sword again. But after the situation in Chenggu County settled down, Meng Yunzheng informed her that everyone had agreed to give away the sword.
Meng Xiaoshu's matters were resolved, and he needed to recover from his injuries, so he remained at the Mi family clinic.
As for Tao Shi, she was brought back home by Meng Qi and Meng Han.
Shu Yu didn't have the time to focus on them. She had to continue interrogating the prisoners and help Xia Yi organize the city's affairs.
The people of Chenggu County gradually started going out more. Although it wasn't as lively as before, the atmosphere was no longer as bleak, and life was gradually getting back on track.
Two qdays had passed since Meng Yunzheng had left, and there was no news from him.
As for General Huang, he remained in a standoff with the rebels, both sides deliberately prolonging the situation.
This was beneficial; Chenggu County could discreetly continue its development.
Fortunately, over the past few days, Zhang Shi and Tao Qin were being watched by their family members and hadn't appeared near the Meng Family Escort Agency.
On the third day, as Shu Yu was about to leave early in the morning, she saw Meng Han coming out with a haggard expression.
Shu Yu knew that Tao Shi had fallen ill after returning home that day. It wasn't surprising—her most beloved younger brother had died, her dearest husband was covered in injuries, and she was being forced into a divorce. Her children had left, and her niece, whom she treated as her own daughter, had pushed her into this situation.
With all these events, it was odd if Tao Shi didn't fall ill.
Shu Yu didn't have time to visit Tao Shi. Seeing Meng Han now, she casually asked, "How's your mother?"
"Her physical condition is much better, but her spirits aren't great. It's as if all her energy has been drained. She used to talk rapidly and vigorously, but now she can barely manage a few words in a long time." Meng Han expressed her concern.
Shu Yu patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Give her some time."
Meng Han smiled wryly. "I know." But then she seemed to brighten up as she remembered something else. "My mother said she won't have any more dealings with the Taos in the future."
Shu Yu was slightly surprised. "Has she made up her mind?"
"Yeah, she has. She told me this morning."
Shu Yu didn't seem particularly surprised by this. People who thought clearly would know how to choose.
Moreover, what Tao Shi cared about the most was Tao Feili. Now that he was gone, even if she returned to the Tao family after divorcing, she would be at odds with Zhang Shi. Furthermore, if her daughter and her niece were estranged, how good could her days be in the Tao family? In the Meng family, her children were by her side. Although her husband might be a bit bothered by the recent events, he was still a good man who would provide for her.
However, Tao Shi was sometimes quite confused. Who knew if she would suddenly make an illogical decision?
From the looks of it now, she seemed to be thinking clearly.
While Shu Yu and Meng Han were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of a door opening behind them. They both turned around to see Tao Shi coming out of the house.
