Chapter 171: Companion, Gratitude
"aunt!"
When Lu Jing and Lu Nian suddenly saw their elders, they couldn't hold back any longer and immediately threw themselves into Mu Nanzhi's arms with red eyes.
Although Mu Nanzhi wanted to cry, she thought that they were outside, so she quickly pulled the two children into her carriage, intending to ask them why they were here.
When they got on the carriage, they looked at the two children carefully and found that they had become thinner and darker, which showed that they had suffered a lot during this period.
"A Jing, An Nian, why are you here?"
Lu Jing immediately told Mu Nanzhi about his and his sister's experiences over the past period of time.
"Crack~"
Mu Nanzhi felt that she couldn't vent her anger in front of the two children, so she could only slap the table to vent her anger, "The Lu family is so bold!"
There was another sentence she didn't say. Of course, the one who was the most courageous was their stepmother. She actually dared to do such a thing. Did she really think that there was no one in his Mu family?
Looking at the two still somewhat frail children, he had to suppress his anger and spoke in a lighter tone: "A Jing, An Nian, we have to thank Miss Shen very much."
The brother and sister nodded at the same time. They would indeed thank Sister Ali.
Jiang Muxue next to her took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. After her aunt passed away, her cousins were already miserable, but they didn't expect to have such a vicious stepmother.
If they hadn't met here today, they would probably have had little idea of what had happened to their cousins.
Mu Nanzhi held the hands of the brother and sister and said, "Auntie will take you back and settle the accounts while you're at it."
Lu Jing and Lu Nian were somewhat moved and hesitant when they heard this. Mu Nanzhi took this in and asked softly, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Lu Jing hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Aunt, we had agreed with Sister Ali to take us back, but now..."
Mu Nanzhi smiled gently when she heard this. She thought it was something important that was worth making the two children so embarrassed.
"In that case, would you mind if I could go with you?"
It is very obvious that Miss Shen now holds a huge importance in the hearts of these two children. And now upon closer inspection, although the two children are still a little thin, they are in good spirits, which shows that they have not been treated unfairly.
And Shen Li is also her savior. In that case, there is no need for her to be the bad guy.
Thinking of this, a gentle smile appeared on her lips. This Miss Shen and their family really have a connection.
"Let's go, let's go talk to Miss Shen."
After they chatted for a while, she got off the carriage first. The three cousins following behind her had already started chatting, each talking about what they had seen and experienced during this period.
Shen Li did not pay special attention to their conversation. After all, she was not a voyeur. Except for special circumstances, when she would use her mental power to investigate, she rarely used her mental power to pry into other people's privacy at other times.
Lin Cuicui was already cooking when Mu Nanzhi came over with her people. Perhaps because they were away from home, the clothes they wore were not made of particularly expensive fabrics but were mainly designed for comfort.
"Miss Shen, long time no see."
"Mrs. Jiang, please take a seat."
There were a few small stools placed opposite Shen Li. Mu Nanzhi took a look and did not sit down immediately. Instead, he half-knelt and saluted Shen Li.
"Miss Shen, thank you for saving their lives."
Shen Li smiled faintly, "It's just a coincidence, Madam Jiang, you don't have to be so polite."
Listening to her, Mu Nanzhi lifted up her clothes and sat down, with a serious expression on her face, "Miss Shen, you are too polite. I have heard from A Jing that if it weren't for you, they would be who knows where they are now."
Hearing her say this, Shen Li nodded. She was right. She had indeed helped the brother and sister a lot. This was a fact and she was worthy of this gift from her.
There is no need to deny it. Even though the purpose of saving them was not very pure, saving them is saving them.
"Mrs. Jiang shouldn't come here just to thank you, right?"
Mu Nanzhi nodded and spoke softly, "I was very angry after hearing what happened to the two children. I originally wanted to take the two children back to seek justice."
Having said this, she paused and looked at the brother and sister standing beside her.
"But Jing said that you have promised to send them back, and I can't let the two children break their promise. And it takes eight days to go from here to Jiangnan, so can we go with you?"
"Bring them back safely."
Shen Li nodded. In fact, if it wasn’t on the way, she would have wanted to let Mu Nanzhi take the brother and sister back directly.
"Of course, you are their elder, so it would be more convenient for you to do some things."
Mu Nanzhi sent them back, but that was definitely more than just sending them back, there were some accounts that needed to be settled.
"In that case, thank you very much, Miss Shen."
It is indeed easier to deal with smart people, and Miss Shen is definitely a smart person.
"Then can they stay with me during this time?"
Shen Li shook her head, "Mrs. Jiang, you should just ask them for their opinions directly."
Upon hearing this, Mu Nanzhi looked at the brother and sister expectantly. The brother and sister couldn't bear to reject their aunt's expectant gaze, so they nodded.
Fortunately, although they are not in the same team now, they are not far apart.
Ever since the brother and sister were rescued by Shen Li, most of their sense of security came from Shen Li. They were not used to the sudden departure.
Lu Nian came up to Shen Li, "Sister A Li~"
After hearing what her aunt said today, she realized that this place was not far from her home. That didn’t mean that she would soon be separated from Sister Ali and the others.
Shen Li raised her hand to press down the hair on the little girl's head, "Go, your brother and aunt are waiting for you."
"it is good."
While Shen Li was patting her head, Lu Nian raised her head and rubbed it gently on her hand a few times, then left with her aunt and the others feeling satisfied.
Lin Cuicui and Shen Changshan sat aside and did not disturb their conversation. However, when Mu Nanzhi left, she nodded slightly to them and left with Lu Jinglu Nian.
When the team set off at noon, the brother and sister had not returned. Shen Li and the others walked in front, and the escort team followed behind.
The brother and sister came back in the evening. They looked much more relaxed. It was obvious that with their aunt's support, the pressure in their hearts was reduced a lot.
As they had to hurry, the team did not enter any towns along the way and finally arrived successfully at Yangzhou City where the Lu family was located on the afternoon of the 10th day.
Seeing the magnificent gate of Yangzhou City, Shen Changshan and his companions all smiled. Once here, they would soon be able to reach Suzhou and settle down.
