There were no scars on Shen Chenchuan's face at all, and his little face was as smooth as new, but he looked a little too thin at the moment.
Shen Yuerong raised her eyes and looked at Chi Mu curiously, and she shrugged and smiled.
"This is what he looked like after I gave him a bath. I'm afraid the scars from before were just disguise."
So Shen Yuerong immediately thought of the key, and a light flashed in her eyes.
Chenchen is able to live intact in the tunnel under the bamboo house, and the scars on his face cover his original appearance.
That means there is an expert helping Chenchen behind the scenes.
Moreover, this person knew the secret passage left by his father and could help Chenchen without leaving any traces.
The other party must be no simple person, but I don’t know whether he is an enemy or a friend.
Obviously, Chi Mu had the same idea. After making eye contact with Shen Yuerong, he did not point it out, but took Shen Chenchuan towards the hall.
There was a table of delicious food in the hall. When Shen Chenchuan saw the food, his eyes lit up instantly and he couldn't take his eyes away.
Chi Mu pushed Shen Chenchuan to sit on the chair. He reached out to grab the food but was stopped by Chi Mu.
"If you want to eat, you have to wait for your family to come together."
Memories of the past surged into Shen Chenchuan's mind. He was stunned for a moment, then obediently withdrew his hand and looked in the direction of Shen Yuerong, waiting for her to come over and sit down to eat together.
"Aunt, come and have dinner together."
Shen Yuerong came over with the boiled medicine, and seeing the well-behaved Shen Chenchuan, her heart was filled with warmth.
No matter how many setbacks and hardships the Shen family has experienced, they will never become people of bad character.
She placed the medicine in front of Shen Chenchuan and reached out to rub his head.
"Drink this medicine. It will be good for your health."
Shen Chenchuan smelled the rich herbal aroma in the air, picked it up and drank it directly without any hesitation.
He handed the bowl to Shen Yuerong with a bitter face, “Aunt, I’ve finished drinking, please sit down and eat.”
Shen Yuerong laughed. She drank such a bitter medicine in one gulp, just to be able to eat.
She took the bowl, sat down, and motioned for Shen Chenchuan to start eating.
In fact, Shen Yuerong was not hungry at all. She just watched Shen Chenchuan eat. Seeing his clean and lively appearance, her heart finally felt a little more at ease.
As long as Shen Chenchuan is alive, there is hope for their Shen family.
Perhaps it was the effect of Shen Yuerong's decoction, Shen Chenchuan's eyes were obviously brighter than before.
Shen Yuerong looked at him and asked softly with concern: "Chenchen, how did you survive all these years alone?"
Shen Chenchuan was very thin, with a pair of eyes that were too big. When he heard Shen Yuerong's words, tears welled up in his eyes and he choked up.
"My father tried his best to get me out of the bandit's den, so I fled alone in the mountains for a long time, wanting to report to the authorities."
"But I got lost and met a few human traffickers who kidnapped me and planned to sell me to a filthy place like Jiangnan. Before they even set off, I escaped through a dog hole."
"Finally, I accidentally ran to the bamboo house, found the secret passage, and hid there. I didn't know who would send me something after a while, and when the thing was delivered, the bell would ring. I stayed there in a daze and couldn't remember many things."
"Just remember to look for your aunt."
When he said the last sentence, big tears rolled down from the corners of Shen Chenchuan's eyes.
Shen Yuerong immediately reached out and touched his head with distressed heart, "It's okay, forget it if you can't remember it, aunt will protect you well in the future."
"This is your uncle. He is a majestic prince. With him around, no one will bully us."
The reason why she said this was simply to make Shen Chenchuan more confident and not become timid because of the family changes.
Shen Yuerong will do her best to support Shen Chenchuan, let him grow up healthy and become a man of his own.
After finishing his meal, Shen Chenchuan lay down on the soft bed and fell into a deep sleep.
He was so small lying under the quilt that you couldn't even tell there was a person lying there.
Shen Yuerong covered him with the quilt, then stood up and walked out of the room.
As soon as she walked out, Shen Yuerong coldly ordered Taohua.
"Taohua, go find someone to investigate and find out who the person who sent the gift to Chenchen is?"
Taohua answered, then looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Shen Yuerong glanced at him and asked with a smile: "Do you have something to say?"
Taohua glanced outside and reminded, "Princess, today is the day Fu Hengjing is exiled. Miss Huo Mengyuan went out and has not returned yet."
Hearing this, Shen Yuerong was stunned for a moment, then sighed softly.
"It's okay, let her go."
"Huo Mengyuan is a kind-hearted person and won't do anything. I'm afraid she just wants to see what happens to Fu Hengjing."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Mengyuan walked in wearing a light gauze cone hat, came in front of Shen Yuerong and spoke with a smile.
"Master, I'm going to buy a gift for the young master."
Shen Yuerong looked at her and asked with a faint smile.
"Didn't you go to the city gate?"
Huo Mengyuan paused, not expecting Shen Yuerong to speak so directly, but she quickly adjusted herself to a calm and composed attitude.
"I went there. He was in a very miserable state. Words were carved on his face. I didn't feel happy. Later, I saved an old man on the road. I treated him according to the medical book given by my master."
"I was very happy at that moment. On the way home, I came to terms with it. If I always hate someone, I will be miserable. It is better to do more good things."
Seeing Huo Mengyuan thinking this, Shen Yuerong raised a faint smile.
"I didn't promise you to be my apprentice. You haven't even prepared the apprenticeship ceremony yet."
Huo Mengyuan was a little nervous when she heard the first sentence, but when she heard the second half, a smile appeared on her face.
"Master, don't worry. I will go back and prepare now."
She happily stuffed the oil paper bag into Shen Yuerong's hands and left happily. Her cheering voice could be heard from afar.
Shen Yuerong lowered her eyes and opened the oil paper package. The winter melon candies inside were neatly arranged together, covered with crystal icing.
Her smile deepened. Chenchen would definitely like such a gift.
Afterwards, Shen Yuerong arranged for Taohua to send some cotton clothes, shoes, food and silver to Fu Hengjing, just to help him successfully reach the place of exile.
After all, only by living can he atone for what he has done.
The Fu family didn't send anything over at all, and seemed to be planning to give up on Fu Hengjing completely.
The night fell over the General's Mansion. A figure moved slowly along the wall, pried open a gate with a dagger, secretly came to the courtyard of the old lady of the Fu family, and added some powder to the water in the well.
After that, the figure quietly left again, leaving no trace and no one noticed.
The old lady woke up in the middle of the night and asked the nanny to bring her warm water.
After drinking the water, the old woman only felt an itchy throat, but she didn't care and lay down to continue sleeping.
But this time, after she lay down, she had a nightmare from which she could not wake up no matter what. It was not until the next day that the nanny who served her woke her up that she was relieved.
