Chapter 2441: Extra - The Yao Family


Mengmeng, now in high spirits, spoke to Shu Yu about the environment of the Xiang family. "The courtyard is bigger than our home, but it's not as big as Daddy's Academy..."


The little one lay on Shu Yu's lap, tilting her small head. "Mom, Dou Dou said the palace is even bigger. Can we go see it?"


Shu Yu pondered for a moment. "If you want to go, ask your father. He'll be going to the palace tomorrow. If the Emperor agrees, he can take you."


"Okay." Mengmeng's eyes lit up, and she pulled Huohuo hand. "Brother can come too."


"Ask your father." Shu Yu delegated the responsibility to the parent in charge.


Meng Yunzheng, riding on a horse alongside the carriage, overheard their conversation. He smiled helplessly.


Going to the palace was definitely not a problem; the Emperor had already allowed him to take his daughter to see it. However, there was no rush; it was still early.


When the family returned to the inn, everyone had come back except for Master He Jiang, who had gone to visit friends. Wei Qin had bought quite a few things and seemed a bit nervous.


It had been a long time since she had seen Aunt Hong, and she had taken care of Wei Qin when she was young. After returning from the southwest, Shu Yu had arranged for the caravan to deliver goods to Aunt Hong when they came to the capital. In recent years, whenever Song Le wrote letters to Aunt Hong, Wei Qin would add a few words.


Even so, she was still nervous, which led her to buy more things. Song Le, feeling helpless, knew that most of the things bought would end up in someone else's hands.


Thinking this way, he didn't stop her.


Early the next morning, Meng Yunzheng was scheduled to enter the palace, Wei Qin and Song Le were going to visit Aunt Hong, Yuan Gui took Kang Shuxian shopping, and the other students... went to Lu Ji.


They had heard that there were two paintings by Master Shanju the Mountain Dweller on the second floor of Lu Ji, which had become a famous spot for scholars. Unfortunately, being from Dong'an Prefecture, they hadn't had the chance to see them.


Now that they had the opportunity to come to the capital, they definitely wanted to appreciate the landscape paintings of their academy as depicted by Master Shanju. They wanted to see what their academy and sunflower fields, which they saw every day, looked like in the eyes of Master Shanju.


As she watched everyone discussing and walking away while holding hands, Shu Yu couldn't help but look back at the calm and seemingly uninvolved Meng Yunzheng, silently sympathizing with these unknowing students.


Once everyone had left, Shu Yu took her two children on the carriage and headed straight for the Yao family.


Madam Yao had been waiting eagerly and was delighted to see the two children.


"Finally, you've come. This must be Mengmeng, she's so beautiful. And Huohuo, it's been a few years, and you've grown so tall."


The two children politely greeted her and made Madam Yao very happy. Each of them received a red envelope from her.


Then, holding one child in each hand, they happily entered the house.


As they walked, Madam Yao talked to Shu Yu. "Since Yao Bo and his family of three left, this house has been much quieter. I often thought about going to find them, but when I thought about your Uncle Yao being alone at home, I couldn't bear to. If only I hadn't listened to your Uncle Yao and left with Yao Bo and the others in the capital."


Shu Yu consoled her, "Uncle Yao was thinking about Big Brother Yao's future. It's not wrong for them to gain experience by going out. After a few more years, when Big Brother Yao has more experience and works hard, he'll be able to come back."


Madam Yao sighed, "I hope he can come back."
