Chapter 1772: Good News from Meng Yunzheng

By this time, the emotions of the people had settled. Holding the belongings of their respective family members, they turned to Shu Yu and expressed their gratitude.

Shu Yu advised them to take care of their health and assured them that if they needed any assistance, they could seek help at the county office.

One by one, the people nodded and left the abandoned mansion.

Watching them, heads bowed in sorrow, Shu Yu sighed. When she raised her head again, the snowflakes had grown even larger.

With so much snow falling, Shu Yu wondered how Meng Yunzheng and Qi Lie's plan was progressing.

Just as she was thinking about this, Xia Yan rushed in, his hair covered in snow. After entering the corridor, he shook off the snow and excitedly said, "Second Miss, there's a letter from Young Master. It's good news."

Xia Yan had been helping out at the city gates these days, so he was the first to hear any news from outside.

Shu Yu hadn't expected that just as she was thinking about Meng Yun Zheng, she would receive news from him.

She quickly took the letter from Xia Yan's hand and eagerly opened it.

The contents of the letter were brief, just a few lines, but they made Shu Yu let out a long breath.

Ying Xi asked, "Miss, how is Young Master Meng's situation?"

Shu Yu's lips curled into a smile that she couldn't contain. "Everything is going smoothly. Yun Zheng and Qi Lie have already taken control of Changjin Prefecture."

"So quickly?" It had only been three days.

Shu Yu laughed. "In fact, ever since we realized that something was amiss with Changjin Prefecture and reported it to the capital, the Emperor dispatched people to secretly investigate. Infiltrating the Prefecture was much easier than infiltrating the black market. So, they did have some assistance. Moreover, General Huang hasn't engaged the black market rebels in a full-scale conflict yet, only sporadic skirmishes. His forces are ample, so he could afford to send some people to help them."

Therefore, although their time was short, the initial preparations had been quite extensive.

They even knew which individuals could be bribed and which loyalists posed a threat and needed to be dealt with first.

Compared to Chenggu County, planning in the city was easier.

"Did Young Master mention when he'll be returning?" Xia Yan asked.

Shu Yu shook her head. "Although the plan went smoothly, the Prefect Magistrate of Changjin Prefecture resisted stubbornly after realizing that he was exposed. He was forced to jump into the water to escape, but he drowned. No survivors were left, which complicated the aftermath in the Prefecture. Moreover, manpower will only be slightly less than what we had in Chenggu County. Yun Zheng and Lord Qi are afraid they won't be able to return temporarily."

The weather at this time was cold. Wearing thick clothes, once a person fell into the water, the soaked clothing would make them heavy, causing them to sink. By the time the Prefect Magistrate was fished out of the water, he had already lost his life.

Still, as long as the matter was resolved, it was fine.

Shu Yu put the letter away and instructed Ying Xi and Xia Yan, "Let's go. Back to the Escort Bureau, and share this good news with Uncle Meng and the others."

Despite the ongoing snowfall outside, Shu Yu didn't mind. She dashed into the snow with eagerness, striding towards the Meng Family's Escort Bureau.

Halfway there, she coincidentally ran into Meng Pei driving a horse-drawn carriage.

She hurried a few steps forward. "Uncle Meng, where are you headed?"

"I'm going to Mi Family Clinic. Seeing how heavy the snow is, it probably won't stop for a while. I was planning to bring your little uncle back home. Doctor Mi said he's ready to go home for recuperation."

Shu Yu smacked her forehead. She had forgotten about this.

"Uncle Meng, I'll go with you."

Chapter 1771: Snowfall

Originally, the families of the victims were supposed to go to the government to claim the bodies. However, the local authorities weren't functioning normally now, and Xia Yi was already overwhelmed with work. People had been waiting outside the county office for the past few days.

Especially the families of the officials who had been imprisoned; they had been protesting their innocence outside the county office.

Xia Yi had ordered the arrest of some people a couple of days ago—people who were openly involved with county officials like Constable Hong in this rebellion. Their families might not be entirely innocent either, as the concept of joint responsibility applied. Xia Yi had arrested the closest kin of Constable Hong and the others.

If it weren't for the prison already being overcrowded, there would have been more arrests.

However, even with the arrests, there were still quite a few people gathered outside the county office, seeking information.

Given the situation, it wasn't appropriate to arrange for the victims' families to claim the bodies at the county office. Who knew what kind of chaos that might lead to?

Furthermore, these families had contributed a lot during this operation. Shu Yu and the others had decided to give them a quiet environment to grieve and release their emotions.

As a result, Shu Yu had them wait directly at the abandoned mansion.

She herself represented the authorities to comfort them. Seeing their tear-filled eyes, Shu Yu couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Among the victims who had been captured and killed by the black market, a total of five people were identified. Four of them were young women, all driven to suicide by humiliation.

Shu Yu had attempted to have Qin Kun identify the rebels who had been responsible for their deaths. Unfortunately, the human trafficking operation was managed by Fourt Master Chang, and the ones who had coerced them were also under Fourt Master Chang. Those people had all left the black market together with Fourt Master Chang and were currently engaged in guerrilla warfare with General Huang outside.

Xia Yi had promised the victims' families that both Fourt Master Chang and his underlings who had driven people to their deaths would face retribution.

Despite this, the dead could not be brought back to life. Even if those people paid with their lives, it wouldn't bring back the lives they had taken. Shu Yu could only console them softly, urging them to mourn and move on.

After noon, the underground passage did indeed show signs of activity.

Before long, Lu Wu emerged with a group of people.

The people who had been waiting in the room stood up hurriedly, and soon, the large room was filled with mournful cries.

Shu Yu quietly stepped out with her group. In such an atmosphere, even her nose couldn't help but feel sour.

She glanced at the stretcher carrying Tang Feili's body, then turned to Lu Wu and said, "Could you personally handle this?"

Lu Wu waved his hand. "You're too polite, Miss Lu."

Watching Lu Wu leave, Shu Yu stood silently by the doorway, gazing at the distant landscape.

Suddenly, a white speck floated down. Shu Yu was taken aback, and she heard Ying Xi's surprised voice in her ear, "It's actually snowing."

Snowing?

She looked up, and the snowflakes gradually grew larger, falling gently on her shoulders. This snowfall seemed like a ritual, a way for these victims to be honored.

Shu Yu adjusted her cloak and suddenly missed home. Despite not being away for long, the experiences she had gone through made her feel as if half a century had passed. Given the current situation, she probably wouldn't be able to return home for the New Year.

Once the situation outside the city with General Huang was resolved and the city gates were reopened for travel, she would need to send a letter to her family so they wouldn't worry.

Shu Yu stood by the door, watching the snow for a long time. Only when the sounds of weeping had gradually subsided did she turn and enter the room.

Chapter 1770: Tao Shi's Final Request

Tao Shi had always kept Tao Qin by her side, as she was her younger brother's first daughter. When their father was still alive, he had asked her to take care of her niece.

Tao Shi believed that she had showered Tao Qin with love and care, preparing everything she needed, even arranging a dowry for her.

But how had Tao Qin treated her? When confronted by bandits, she had been pushed aside to shield Tao Qin from the attack. She was like a stranger to her own family.

However, her relationship with Ah Han, who she had disagreements with in the past, had changed during her illness. Ah Han had taken care of her, advised her, and despite their previous conflicts, never gave up on her as a mother.

Sometimes, it took life and death situations for people to realize who truly cared for them and who was just putting on a facade.

The head of the family was right—she had done many foolish things in the past. Now that she understood, she wasn't sure whether she could make amends and if there was still time for that.

Tao Shi gently wrapped the bandaged hands of Meng Xiaoshu, her husband, and softly spoke " Husband, I don't want a separation."

Sighing, Meng Xiaoshu said, "Have you thought it through?"

"Yes, I have."

"Good, then don't regret it."

Tao Shi lifted her head again, her smile tinged with tears. "I won't regret it. But there's something I'd like to ask your permission for."

"What is it?"

Tao Shi pursed her lips and hesitated before continuing, "My younger brother... he's gone. Despite being angry with him, I can't just sever all ties after all these years of relationship. I want to help with his funeral arrangements at the Tao family. Rest assured, after it's done, I won't associate with them anymore."

Meng Xiaoshu didn't oppose this matter.

He nodded, "Go ahead. Also, have Ah Qi and Ah Han go and offer incense. After all, he's their uncle. It's necessary to see him off, otherwise, it won't sound good if word gets out."

Afterward, he turned to Shu Yu and asked, "When will Tang Feili's body be brought back to the Tang family?"

"Today, around noon, it should arrive." The same went for the bodies of the wealthy young men who had been killed. However, unlike Tang Feili, most of them had been mauled by wild animals, leaving little behind.

After discussing it, Master Yang and the others sent over the clothes and any belongings they could find to the families of the deceased.

The situation in the black market was nearly under control. Tao Feili's body would be transported here today, and in another day, it would be his seventh day since death. Regardless, it was time for him to be buried.

Shu Yu had originally come today to inform Meng Xiaoshu of this matter. He had mentioned wanting to cut ties with the Tao family, but such a matter should still be communicated to him.

Meng Xiaoshu nodded at the news, gave some instructions to Meng Qi and Meng Han, and then let them leave.

As they walked out together, Shu Yu saw that Tao Shi and Meng Han were about to leave. She paused and said to Meng Qi, who was standing at the back, "The situation at the Tao family is definitely not peaceful, especially since Zhang Shi had cursed your father last time she was here. It probably won't be easy when you go there. Be careful."

"I understand." After this major upheaval, Meng Qi's temperament had become much more steady.

Shu Yu parted ways with them, heading towards the abandoned mansion.

Master Yang, along with the family members of the victims, had already arrived at the mansion. These people knew why they were waiting here, and their collective grief filled the air with low sobs and cries.

Master Yang and the others who had come from the black market were trying to comfort them.

Chapter 1769: A Conversation Between Husband and Wife

In just two or three days of not seeing her, Tao Shi seemed to have lost weight, her complexion was extremely poor, and her whole being exuded a sense of desolation, as if lifeless.

"Ah Han, take me to see your father," Tao Shi spoke, her voice hoarse and weak.

Meng Han frowned, "Mother, your health..."

"It's alright. I took some medicine, and I'm feeling much better. Let's go to the medical clinic. While we're there, I'll have Doctor Mi take a look at me. If there's nothing serious, I'll stay there and take care of your father. He's suffered such serious injuries, and I, as his wife, can't just hide at home."

"Father has people taking care of him. Mother, you're not feeling well. It's better not to go."

Tao Shi shook her head, "Let's go. I also have something to talk to your father about."

At this point, Meng Han didn't feel comfortable refusing anymore.

However, considering that Tao Shi had just recovered from an illness and that the November weather was quite cold, Meng Han quickly brought out a carriage.

Accompanying them was Shu Yu, who had seen a rare improvement in Tao Shi's demeanor these days. She was no longer being oddly antagonistic and even smiled at Shu Yu occasionally.

It seemed that the recent events had dealt a severe blow to her, causing Tao Shi to undergo a significant change in her personality.

The three of them soon arrived at the entrance of Mi's medical clinic. Doctor Mi had already reopened the clinic, and the original doctor and medical attendants had resumed work.

Meng Xiao Shu was currently resting in a room in the backyard, with his personal attendant taking care of him.

Shu Yu greeted Doctor Mi first before they headed towards the backyard.

Meng Xiaoshu was currently drinking medicine—a big bowl of pitch-black bitter medicine. Even standing at the doorway, Shu Yu could smell the pungent aroma.

Having fallen ill herself over the past few days, Tao Shi had also been taking medicine. Thus, upon smelling the medicine, she felt as if her own mouth was becoming bitter, and her eyes grew teary.

Entering the room, Meng Xiaoshu looked up, instructing his attendant to take away the empty bowl before turning his gaze to Shu Yu and nodding slightly. Then, he looked at Tao Shi. "I heard from Ah Qi that you've been unwell these days?"

"Yes, the doctor said it's due to excessive worry and emotional fluctuations." Tao Shi walked over to his side, naturally taking out a handkerchief to wipe away the traces of medicine at the corner of his mouth. Then, she poured a cup of tea and offered it to him. "Drink some water, it'll help alleviate the bitterness."

Meng Xiaoshu fell silent for a moment, hesitated briefly, and then lowered his head to take a few sips.

Afterwards, he spoke, "You don't need to worry too much. The situation has come to this, and life must go on. Regardless of how you choose, some relationships won't change for you."

His tone was considerably gentler compared to their previous conversation, causing Tao Shi's nose to tingle and her eyes to turn red.

She nodded and sniffled, "I know. These few days, I've been thinking. It seems like over these years, my life has been getting worse and worse. My younger brother passed away, my children aren't close to me, and my husband and I have reached the point of separation. I've been wondering why everything turned out like this. But gradually, I've come to understand where I've gone wrong."

Her words were heavy and profound, catching even Shu Yu by surprise. She hadn't expected Tao Shi to contemplate matters so deeply over the past couple of days.

Meng Xiao Shu and Meng Han were also taken aback.

Seeing their astonished expressions, Tao Shi couldn't help but force a bitter smile. "We've been married for nearly twenty years now, and I've been more attached to my natal family. It's like we're two separate households. The people I feel closest to now should be you, Ah Qi, and Ah Han. Before, Ah Han used to say that I didn't know whose mother I was. Although I gave birth to her, I always sided with Tao Qin. Back then, I thought she was just being unreasonable. Now I realize where I went wrong."
