Chapter 2427: Extra - Meng Qi's Wife


Five years ago, the Meng family's escort agency began to expand. After receiving the imperial plaque, the Meng family's escort team grew rapidly in a straight line. Meng Xiaoshu and Meng Pei discussed the opportunity to expand the escort agency, and the Meng family's escort agency in Chenggu County quickly became the top one in the county.


However, the news of Meng Yunzheng passing the imperial examination as the top scholar and achieving the highest level of success spread the following year. This attracted even more people to join the Meng family's escort agency. Although some left after Meng Yunzheng resigned from his official position and returned home, those who remained were valuable and considered elite.


That year, after participating in Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu's wedding, Meng Xiaoshu and Meng Pei returned to Changjin Prefecture and quickly established a branch in the mansion.


Originally, Meng Xiaoshu wanted Meng Pei to manage it, but Meng Pei refused. His son would eventually settle in Dong'an Prefecture, so he naturally wouldn't stay in Changjin Prefecture.


Therefore, the responsibility of establishing the branch fell on Meng Qi's shoulders.


Meng Qi was young and had little experience, so he couldn't control the experienced escorts.


This was the Meng family's escort agency, and a significant portion of it was Meng Pei's hard work. So, Meng Pei didn't rush back and stayed in the Prefecture to help Meng Qi gradually establish his position.


He stayed for over half a year and only returned to Dong'an Prefecture at the end of the year. Initially, Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu returned from the southwest a bit earlier, but Meng Pei had already returned half a month before them.


As a result, both Meng Qi and Meng Han, siblings, were now in Changjin Prefecture. Meng Xiaoshu and Tao Shi stayed in Chenggu County. Originally, Tao Shi was helping Meng Qi take care of the child in the mansion.


However, Tao Shi and Meng Qi's wife didn't get along well. Meng Qi's wife, He Shi, was someone who enjoyed accompanying Meng Qi on escort missions. Meng Qi shared the same interest, and going on escort missions together was a beautiful experience for the husband and wife.


This experience paused when she was pregnant.


But it was only during that period when she didn't go out. When the child was six months old, she resumed accompanying Meng Qi on missions, leaving the child with Tao Shi and the nanny.


As Meng Qi's mother, Tao Shi couldn't accept the fact that He Shi, now that she was a mother, would still go out with Meng Qi. He Shi would only go along for fun and had no real responsibilities, and her absence would hinder Meng Qi's work.


Meng Qi was caught in the middle, and the situation became tense within the Meng family. Meng Han wrote a letter to Shu Yu to complain about it.


Shu Yu didn't want to get involved in these matters, but in the end, Meng Pei couldn't stand it anymore. He told Meng Xiaoshu, "Let them both compromise. Let Meng Qi's wife stay home for another year or two and take care of the child. When the child is a bit older and Meng Qi has more energy, they can go out together as a family of three."
