Chapter 1968: Maybe She'll Have a Change of Heart Tomorrow

Shu Yu looked at Meng Yunzheng with suspicion. Had they returned, and from where did he hear the news? He must have other reasons for coming.

As expected, after finishing their meal, while the others were chatting in the courtyard and expressing regret about not meeting Xun Sheng and Gan Rui, Meng Yunzheng signaled Shu Yu, and the two of them went to a separate room to talk.

Meng Yunzheng said, "I met with Xun Sheng and Gan Rui this afternoon."

Shu Yu was momentarily stunned and then her lips twitched. "Did Gan Rui mention Meng Han to you?"

Meng Yunzheng was Meng Han's cousin and, currently, the most influential person in the Meng family. Given that he was in the prefectural city, it was reasonable to visit him first if Gan Rui indeed had such intentions towards Meng Han.

However, she didn't expect him to be so hasty. Xun Sheng had just returned, and he rushed to find Meng Yunzheng.

Meng Yunzheng sighed and said with a headache, "I didn't think much of it. I just let him go."

"Ah?"

"After he left, I took the opportunity to learn more about the Gan family. Their family background is good, and if Ah Han marries into the Gan family, her life will undoubtedly be easier, with fewer intrigues and schemes to navigate."

Especially since Gan Rui seemed quite fond of her.

The Gan family was prosperous, and they had capable senior family members, so there was no need for her to manage a large household. Gan Rui was also a scholar, and perhaps he could advance further in the future. If Meng Han married into that family, she would have a comfortable life, and if she ever faced any difficulties, Gan Rui would stand up for her.

However, regardless of how good the Gan family was, it ultimately depended on whether Meng Han herself was willing.

But it seemed that Meng Han hadn't matured yet, and besides, she was still young. There was no need to rush her.

Shu Yu smiled and said, "We all think she's still young, and we know there's no need to rush. But your aunt is in a hurry. Do you really think Ah Han came here just to have fun in the prefectural city? There are many families in Chenggu County who want to propose to her. It's already a bloodbath out there."

In this era, it was common for girls to be betrothed at the age of fourteen and married after reaching adulthood. As long as a betrothal was made, it was acceptable to postpone the wedding until the girl turned eighteen. Others would see it as a sign of the parents' love for their daughter.

However, if a girl reached eighteen without a betrothal, people would wonder what was wrong with her. Why hadn't anyone proposed to her?

In the past, Tao Shi had focused all her attention on Tao Qin, and had neglected Meng Han. Later, she deeply regretted her actions. Now, with a strong desire to make amends, she had focused all her efforts on Meng Han. However, it was too much too soon. Meng Han, a gentle girl who wanted to make amends, could only think of escaping.

Meng Yunzheng contemplated this and said, "I'll talk to my aunt later."

"Later? Do you have the time?"

Meng Yunzheng was lost in thought. "In any case, Ah Han is still young and hasn't matured yet. If Gan Rui is serious about her, he can take his time. If he can wait, then good. If he can't, there's nothing we can do."

Shu Yu laughed. "Maybe she'll have a change of heart tomorrow."
