Chapter 1036: Too Strange

After some coaxing, Old Meng did agree to go with her to the restaurant first.

But nobody said a word beforehand. What if the food prepared at home isn't enough?

During the meal, Old Meng did tell her about the origin of the Meng Family Courtyard.

"That is a very deep and long-standing connection between the Meng Family and the Nian Family," Old Meng sighed. "Mother Xinian's maiden name was Nian. They were also from the Old Capital, but during the Qing Dynasty, something happened in their family, and they had to sell their home at a low price. The money was used as the entire family's travel expenses to leave the Capital."
