Chapter 1359: Such Rude Country Folks
"You—you, I, I, I, Second Aunt, wah—"
Lin Shasha made a fool of herself, yet Mengyu didn’t cover for her at all. She felt she lost face completely, so she simply cried and threw herself into her second aunt’s arms.
Seeing her beloved niece crying so sorrowfully, Second Aunt Leng got instantly angry. She pointed at Mengyu and scolded: "You wicked girl, so malicious at such a young age, throwing accusations of theft. Don’t you know how important a girl’s reputation is? If anything happens to her because of this, you’ll pay for it."
Mengyu played with her hands: "Second Aunt, what do you mean by pay for it? Since you both entered this courtyard, you’ve been against me at every turn. You really think you hid your intentions well. You just don’t want me to return to the Leng Family, right?"
Uncle Leng heard Mengyu say that Second Aunt Leng and Lin Shasha’s goal was to prevent her return to the Leng Family, and he immediately exploded: "How dare they decide my niece can’t return to the Leng Family?
Mengyu, ignore her. The door to our Leng Family isn’t for outsiders to manipulate; it will always be open for you. You can come back whenever you want. We’ll leave now and visit some other day."
With that, he ignored his second aunt and niece, turning to pick up his son and pulling his wife along: "Let’s go!"
Mengyu quickly escorted them to the courtyard gate: "Farewell, Uncle, Aunt, and little cousin. Uncle, Aunt, little cousin, do come visit often when you have time!"
As soon as she said this, a voice rang in her ear: "Why does cousin only see off my uncle, aunt, and cousin, and not see me off?"
This person was Second Aunt Leng’s eldest son, Leng Zirong, who had been sitting quietly reading. Seeing Uncle Leng leave, Leng Zirong immediately stood up and followed without even glancing at the aunt and niece.
Mengyu was taken aback. Why was Leng Zirong leaving too? Wasn’t he going to wait for his mother and cousin?
She suddenly remembered that this cousin hadn’t said a word in support of his mother and cousin since he entered the courtyard. Obviously, he was a sensible person.
She quickly added a bow: "Then I see you off, cousin."
Leng Zirong suddenly smiled: "Aren’t you going to welcome me again?"
His smile was fresh, giving a sense of warmth like a spring breeze.
Mengyu also smiled: "As long as you’re not here to cause trouble, of course, you’re welcome to come play anytime, cousin."
Leng Zirong nodded seriously: "Alright, I’ll remember your words, cousin. Don’t send me away next time."
Mengyu was surprised again. Could he tell that she was sending people away this time?
Right, he didn’t know that Zilong’s condition required him to go back home to isolate and recuperate as soon as possible, so he thought she sent people away because of his mother and cousin.
She could only rub her nose lightly with the back of her hand and smile: "Sure, sure."
Seeing Uncle Leng’s family leave without hesitation, with her own son following them, Second Aunt Leng was dumbfounded.
Indeed, she had thought up a way to come here, even bringing her niece along, with the intention of preventing Mengyu from returning to the Leng Family. Because she understood that although Mengyu had returned to the Nan Family, her mother passed away early, and her father’s return was only brief before disappearing again, reportedly going back to the mountains. Therefore, even if Mengyu returned to the Nan Family and became the true Eldest Miss Nan, she was still an unspoiled child.
Hence, it was almost impossible for the Leng Family to rely on her to gain favors from the Nan Family.
The greatest possibility was for Nan Mengyu to openly lean towards the Leng Family now. There was even a possibility she might live in the Leng Family long-term.
So, Second Aunt Leng was not having it.
