Chapter 1235: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1235: Is the Proposal from Meng Yunzheng?
They stood at the door talking, and the old lady coughed lightly, prompting Shu Yu to step back.
The old lady shook her head and led Meng Pei inside.
Xiao Shi instinctively retreated, moving to a corner.
Then, one proposal gift after another was carried inside, with Wang Hong and Hu Li among the people carrying them.
Xiao Shi's gaze returned to Shu You and Meng Yunzheng. In that moment, she noticed their hands briefly touch before quickly pulling apart.
But the smile they exchanged and the warm understanding between them, as if they were the only ones present, made Xiao Shi feel uneasy.
Gu Mama was about to support her, but Xiang Weinan acted faster and steadied her by placing a hand on her back.
He spoke in a cold tone near her ear, "Xiao Shi, why are you here? I told you not to look for Lu Xiangjun. Why did you come here on your own?"
Xiao Shi's body trembled, and she turned to look at him, but then she involuntarily glanced at Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng again. Suddenly, a surge of coldness overwhelmed her.
She felt a sense of embarrassment, mixed with envy and sadness.
She didn't answer Xiang Weinan's question but pointed at Meng Yunzheng, saying, "Is that the eldest son of the Gong family?"

Xiang Weinan's face grew even darker, "The Gong family no longer exists."
Yes, the Gong family was no more.
Xiao Shi remembered it now; Gong Qiu had plotted a rebellion and had already been executed.
When she was younger, she had seen Meng Yunzheng before. He was handsome and charming, even more attractive than Xiang Weinan.
So among the noble women in the capital, he had a strong presence.
Unfortunately, he was born from a concubine, and his inability to study made him seem foolish, having no other merits except for his good looks. Moreover, he had even been mute at one point.
Therefore, until three months ago, most people would shake their heads and sigh whenever Meng Yunzheng was mentioned.
However, after Meng Yunzheng brought down Gong Qiu, people finally realized that his foolishness had been an act. He had hidden and endured for many years, seeking revenge and settling old scores. He was like a protagonist from a novel.
Before that, many noble women who had initially been interested in him because of his good looks had lost interest.
But after he defeated Gong Qiu, opinions about him were mixed.
Xiao Shi arrived in Jiangyuan County a month earlier than Shu Yu, but she didn't know what happened afterward.
Now, she was surprised to see Meng Yunzheng in Jiangyuan County, and he seemed so familiar with Lu Xiangjun.
So, the person Lu Xiangjun mentioned was him!
Moreover, what surprised Xiao Shi even more was that Xiang Weinan was acquainted with Meng Yunzheng. They were familiar enough that when he came to propose, Xiang Weinan personally carried a big goose as a gift.
Xiao Shi turned her head to Xiang Weinan, "Husband, do you know the young master of the Gong family, no, do you know Mr. Meng?"
Xiang Weinan remained silent, seeming reluctant to speak to her.
But in this situation, he couldn't stay so cold. He reluctantly nodded and said, "We knew each other when we were young."
Xiao Shi was taken aback. She had no idea about this.
They knew each other when they were young, so their relationship must be good, right?
Then, could it be that Xiang Weinan's care for Lu Xiangjun was because of Meng Yunzheng?
At this moment, Xiao Shi wished she could disappear into the ground.
