Meng Yunzheng narrowed his eyes. Jiang Kuanyu's father had passed away in early July, and during the mourning period, it was customary to wear simple and plain white or gray clothing. There was no reason for him to dress like that.
Clearly, he did it intentionally.
He urged Meng Han to continue speaking, and she blinked, almost forgetting where she left off.
Shu Yu reminded her, "You were saying that Tao Qin twisted her foot in front of Jiang Kuanyu."
Meng Han nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that's right. In fact, her foot was fine; she just did it to catch his attention."
In Chenggu County, the Meng family was considered a significant escort bureau with some wealth and servants, but they were still not as prosperous as the wealthy and influential families.
The Tao family, who relied on the Meng family for their livelihood, was even less well-off.
As the daughter of the Tao family, Tao Qin's marriage prospects were limited to local farmers or small business owners in the town. It was impossible for her to marry into a wealthy family.
So, when she saw Jiang Kuanyu, she could tell he was either rich or from a noble family. Besides being good-looking, he also displayed courtesy, making him seem like the type who would treat his wife well.
When Jiang Kuanyu offered to take responsibility for her injury, Tao Qin didn't miss the chance to take advantage of it. She pretended to be weak, claiming she had twisted her foot, and acted as if she needed help.
Meng Xiaoshu was the one who escorted Jiang Kuanyu. He immediately had the household servants take Tao Qin to seek treatment, making sure not to solely blame Jiang Kuan Yu for the incident.
However, upon hearing the news, Tao Shi intercepted Meng Xiaoshu and found an excuse to pull him away.
As a result, Tao Qin was supported by the maids from the Meng family, and Jiang Kuan Yu accompanied her to the doctor.
Meng Han didn't know what happened between the two on their way to the doctor. All she remembered was that when Tao Qin came back, her left ankle was wrapped in thick gauze, and she could barely walk.
Feeling guilty, Jiang Kuanyu visited her again the next day, bringing her tonics and medicinal wine.
Upon his visit, Meng Xiaoshu naturally received him hospitably.
Meng Yunzheng interjected, "They talked for a long time? Did they discuss Huajiang Prefecture?"
"Yes, they did." Meng Han nodded vigorously. "Jiang Kuanyu said he was originally from Huajiang Prefecture and mentioned a lot of things related to that place. My father was moved to tears."
Meng Han didn't know the specifics of their conversation since she only saw them during mealtime and then returned to her room.
They must have talked about many things during that time.
However, what left a deep impression on Meng Han was her father crying after the conversation. Meng Xiaoshu was tough and loyal, and she had never seen him cry like that. At the time, she felt uneasy and suspected that they must have mentioned their uncle.
Shu Yu was surprised, "Jiang Kuanyu said he is from Huajiang Prefecture?"
"Yes, that's what my father said."
However, Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng remained skeptical.
Well, they would ask Tan Cheng later.
