"You can give it a try."

Shen Nanxun spoke lightly and casually, his tone seemingly lacking any real force.

But no one dared to underestimate him.

Although the Yongchang Earl's Mansion has two legitimate sons, Shen Nanxun is the legitimate son of the first wife, while Shen Donglin, the legitimate son of the second wife, is shorter than Shen Nanxun.

In addition, Old Madam Shen always doted on Shen Nanxun, because although Shen Nanxun had not been in the Earl's Mansion for many years, no one dared to look down on him.

After all, it was still Old Madam Shen who made the decisions in the Marquis's mansion.

"You! Men, throw that servant out!" Shen Donglin shouted.

But no one dared to move.

Even the butler is the same.

Enraged, Shen Donglin yelled, "You guys aren't going to do it? Fine, I'll go throw it myself!"

With that, Shen Donglin walked out.

Shen Nanxun glanced at Hong Ling, who immediately stepped in front of Shen Donglin.

No matter which way Shen Donglin went, he couldn't get around it.

Enraged, Shen Donglin roared, "You lowly servant! Do you believe I'll sell you out? Get out of my way!"

He was the pampered young master of the Yongchang Earl's Mansion, a master who would give you anything you wanted. Now, being stopped by a mere maid, he exploded in anger.

But Hongling only obeyed Shen Nanxun's orders and refused to move an inch.

She still replied in that smug way, "Then this servant will wait. Young master, you'd better work harder, or you won't be able to dig up my grave until seventy or eighty years from now."

As he spoke, he was still picking his ear.

That's the epitome of despicable.

Shen Donglin was so angry that he jumped up and down, and pulled out his whip to hit someone.

But what kind of skills does Hongling possess? How could he possibly hit her?

"Hongling, break the whip for him."

Shen Nanxun gave the order in a calm tone.

Does he carry a whip and beat people anytime, anywhere?

Alright!

Hongling readily agreed.

Shen Donglin felt a blur before his eyes, his hand went empty, and then he heard several "crack" sounds. His whip broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.

Shen Donglin flew into a rage, shouting, "I'm going to find my father! I'm going to find my father!"

After saying that, he ran out like the wind.

Shen Nanxun said, "Don't worry about him. Hongling, go and take that little stable boy to my courtyard first, otherwise Shen Donglin might kill him. Also, find a doctor to treat him."

"yes."

Hongling immediately had the servant lead the way.

The butler asked tremblingly, "Young Master, do you still want to stay here?"

"Of course, otherwise what if Shen Donglin came with the Earl of Yongchang after complaining, but couldn't find me?"

Shen Nanxun smiled calmly, as if nothing had happened.

The butler's heart skipped a beat.

This young master...

They seem to be getting increasingly difficult to deal with.

To Shen Nanxun's surprise, no one came to complain.

Instead, the Countess sent him a lot of tonics and a delicious breakfast.

After returning to his courtyard, Shen Nanxun sneered, told Hongling to eat breakfast, and then went to rest.

Although An'an received treatment, it was not timely, so she had to stay in bed for four days before she was finally able to get out of bed.

As soon as he was able to get out of bed, An'an immediately asked to be taken to see the young master to express his gratitude for saving his life.

However, Shen Nanxun had no interest in him and did not meet him.

"Please thank the young master for saving my life, young lady. I will definitely repay him," An'an said earnestly.

He felt that at this moment, he was finally being treated like a human being.

I feel an indescribable gratitude.

The other person was his lifeline!

"You should focus on getting better first. Don't think about so much. Once you're better, you can do some light work in this yard. Ask as few questions as you can, understand?"

"I know."

An An nodded frantically, afraid of being disliked by this young master.

If he were given to that young master again, he would probably die.

After everyone left, An'an lay on the bed, covered with a blanket, her eyes red with emotion.

It's so warm.

I wonder how my parents, grandparents and other relatives are doing?

Is it possible to find him?

——

At this moment, An'an's family members, whom she cared about, finally emerged from the mountains after overcoming countless hardships, but the price they paid was rather high.

In these rolling mountains, Old Mrs. Li and Sister-in-law Chi's unborn child are buried.

and……

"Go to town quickly and find a doctor to see if there's any hope for Le Shi's leg!" Sister-in-law Chi urged, her eyes red.

If it weren't for saving her, Le Shi wouldn't have fallen down the steep slope and broken his leg!

My nephew is so young, what if his leg is crippled!

"Yes, let's go to town and take a look."

Aunt Chi was also very anxious.

Old Man Li looked around blankly: "But, but which way should we go?"

They had never traveled far from home and didn't know this place, so they didn't know which direction the town was in.

Guan Wu said, "If I remember correctly, you should go straight north to reach Beiyang City."

Once we arrived at Beiyang City, it was only a five-day journey from Beijing.

They should be within the Beiyang City area now, but it's unclear which town they're in.

"Then hurry up."

Old Man Li urged.

But the large group of people didn't walk very fast.

Chi Dashan said, "Here's what we'll do: my brother and I will take turns carrying Le Shi and go to town to find a doctor first. You two follow behind and then go to the pharmacy to find us."
