Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home
Chapter 1771

Chapter 1771: Talk Alone Chapter 1771: Talk Alone Editor: Henyee Translations Unexpectedly, Taotao realized that Zhao Shu wasn’t to blame; it was the meddling of the third party that caused the issue.

She harbored no ill will towards Zhao Shu and bore no grudge against their impending marriage.

If anyone was to blame, it was the interference from the third party.

Upon hearing that Zhao Shu was present and that their relationship had shifted, Taotao shyly avoided him.

Zhao Shu had always been close to the first branch of the family, engaging in lively conversation with Shao Sanlang.

Shao Dalang, though quieter, still contributed to the harmonious atmosphere.

The three of them shared an amicable bond.

As they waited, Zhao Shu’s gaze wandered, and he politely inquired about Taotao, expressing his desire to speak with her.

Shao Dalang hesitated, while Shao Sanlang, in his typical candid manner, interjected, “Shu, you wish to see Taotao?

Well, that’s not for us to decide.

You should ask our mother!

Mother, if Shu wishes to speak with Taotao, what are your thoughts?” Zhao Shu felt a pang of embarrassment at the straightforwardness of his third brother-in-law.

Quickly rising to his feet, Zhao Shu addressed Ms.

Fang with a smile, “Mother-in-law, IaEUR| I simply haven’t had the chance to catch up with Taotao, and I’d like to have a chat with her, just thataEUR|” Shao Sanlang chimed in, “Mom, Taotao and Xiao Shu are engaged, they’re family now.

It’s only natural for them to spend time together!” After all, it was the way he and his wife had conducted their relationship.

Ms.

Fang shot a disapproving glance at her son’s bluntness and then turned to Zhao Shu with a warm smile, “Go ahead, Taotao is in her quarters.

Have a chat with her!

I’ll call you when lunch is ready!” Taotao was accompanied by two maids she had acquired the previous year, Xiangling and Xiangyue.

Despite Zhao Shu not being particularly frivolous or rude, their engagement was a positive development, and Ms.

Fang saw no reason to intervene.

It was her dense son who seemed oblivious to subtlety.

Wouldn’t he discreetly inform her?

His loud outburst risked embarrassing their son-in-lawaEUR| Concerned for Zhao Shu’s feelings, Ms.

Fang attempted to console him.

Zhao Shu was delighted by Ms.

Fang’s acquiescence; he felt no embarrassment at all.

Agreeing eagerly, he proceeded to engage in conversation with Taotao.

Taotao, caught between embarrassment and happiness, found herself lost in contemplation as she gazed at the blooming peonies in the courtyard.

Upon spotting Zhao Shu, her cheeks flushed, and though she instinctively wanted to retreat, the knowledge of their engagement held her back.

Yet, she couldn’t shake the feeling that meeting like this wasn’t ideal, hesitating on whether to depart.

“Why don’t they just leaveaEUR|” Zhao Shu’s grin widened upon seeing her, his eyes alight with Taotao’s presence.

Advancing eagerly, he exclaimed, “Taotao!

Hehe!” Finally relieved of restraint!

His triumphant tone only deepened Taotao’s blush.

She shot him a reproachful glare and averted her gaze.

“YouaEUR| speak more politely.” “Of course, of course!

I’ll be polite!” Zhao Shu’s happiness remained undiminished.

He regarded Taotao with a tender smile, as though he would agree with whatever she said.

Taotao felt even more self-conscious.

This manaEUR| At least before, there was a veil of discretion.

He had restrained himself, allowing only furtive glances.

Though his keen observation always caught her, she could pretend not to notice.
