He heard He Fengmian call his name.
Shulan hummed in agreement, then turned to ask, "What's wrong?"
"Didn't you want to find your maternal grandparents' family before?"
Shulan did want to find the original owner's maternal grandparents' family before, and it was because Chen Ma brought it up.
It was said that the Zhou family was afraid that Xie Huilin would treat the original owner badly, and even though Xie Huilin treated her this way, they still wanted to take her away.
Even if Xie Huilin treated this daughter badly, he would never allow her to be taken away.
As for the original owner of this body, he was incredibly stupid, thinking that following his maternal grandfather would lead to hardship.
When this maternal grandfather was mentioned, he was dismissive.
When Shulan saw that Chen Ma was worried about the Zhou family, she mentioned that if she had the chance, she should definitely look for the Zhou family.
At that time, they had just arrived in the border town, and the situation was unstable, so they naturally didn't think about this matter.
Later, her relationship with He Fengmian improved, and she mentioned once that she wanted their help.
He Fengmian sent Chu Ba to find the Zhou family, and today they finally found the Zhou family that had been hiding all along.
Shulan hadn't expected to find them so quickly and asked, "Where are they?"
"It's quite a coincidence that they are also in Yizhou, so if you want to see them when you go there this time, you can."
Upon learning this, Shulan decided to visit the Zhou family first.
See if they are doing well. If they are not, help them. It can be considered as fulfilling your filial duty to the original owner and the original owner's mother.
Even if the original owner was a terrible person, she was still the one who occupied her body and enjoyed her husband.
He Fengmian also knew that the Zhou family's situation was not optimistic.
He had previously ordered Chu Ba to help the Zhou family, but the Zhou family refused, probably because they were worried that they were part of Xie Huilin's group.
Yaocheng is only a three- or four-day journey by carriage from Yizhou.
He Fengmian, with Shulan in tow, spent more than two days finally arriving in Yizhou and finding the Zhou family.
He Fengmian told me on the way that the original owner's two uncles ran a wonton stall and sold wontons on the street.
Although there is income, the family is large with many members, and expenses are high.
They rented a very small and old courtyard, where the whole family lived; the conditions were naturally not good.
But when they arrived at the wonton stall, they saw two uncles who were only in their forties, but already had mostly white hair and were somewhat hunched over.
There were no customers at the wonton stall at that time.
Upon seeing the two handsome young men dismount, one of them quickly greeted them with a smile: "Would you like to eat wontons, esteemed guests?"
Shulan didn't beat around the bush and called out directly, "Uncle."
The man was taken aback, and subconsciously retorted, "Young master is joking."
But he couldn't help but glance at Shulan, and when he noticed her features, his lips twitched, but he still looked unsure.
Shulan took the initiative and said, "Uncle, I am Zhou Anru's daughter."
She couldn't be sure whether her two uncles would hate their sister after all these years of nagging.
But when she saw her two uncles, their eyes reddened when they heard their sister's name.
His eyes held no hatred, only disbelief: "You...you really are Xiao Shu'er?"
Another, older man quickly came over and looked at Shulan.
It was as if she was trying to see her younger sister from back then through her appearance.
Looking at the two elders, even though I'm not their biological niece, I felt a pang of sadness for no reason.
She nodded: "Yes, I am Xiao Shu'er."
Chen Ma had told the original owner that her mother called her Xiao Shu'er.
The original owner simply thought the name was tacky and disliked it.
The two uncles quickly stepped forward.
I wanted to hold her hand, but I felt my hands were oily and dirty.
All he could do was cautiously ask, "Why did you come here? Did that bastard Xie Huilin treat you badly?"
"I knew that bastard wouldn't treat you well!"
The two elders were in such a hurry that they didn't even notice the fabric of their niece's clothes, which they probably couldn't afford even if they earned their entire lives.
He simply asked with concern if he had been wronged: "If that bastard Xie Huilin doesn't want you, come to your uncle's place. Your uncle will take care of you no matter what."
Seeing how concerned his two uncles were reminded of his own family.
She smiled and said, "Xie Huilin was indeed not good to me, but that doesn't matter anymore. He has received his due retribution. I came here specifically to find my uncle and maternal grandfather, and to take you to the border town."
The two uncles were taken aback and asked, "Didn't Xiao Shu send someone here before?"
At the time, they thought it was Xie Huilin's trick.
Just as they were thinking of moving, the two elderly people fell ill.
After so many years on the run, they are exhausted.
After their son and daughter-in-law got away, they continued as usual.
He Fengmian replied, "It was indeed someone I arranged."
Looking at the people who had gathered there.
He stepped forward and said, "Uncle, let's find somewhere to talk first."
The two Zhou brothers knew that now was not the time to talk, so they quickly put away their chaotic thoughts.
He said, "Alright, alright, wait for us a moment."
The two brothers quickly began packing up their stall, and He Fengmian also instructed his shadow guards to prepare.
After they finished packing, they excitedly took their niece and the legendary grandson-in-law home.
The small courtyard where they lived was not only in a very remote place, but also quite dilapidated, but the rent was cheap.
Moreover, if they need to leave, they can do so as quickly as possible.
Uncle Zhou Weiyang said somewhat embarrassedly, "We were being chased by Xie Huilin and moved around to several places before finally ending up here."
Shulan saw two women mending clothes at the door.
Inside the courtyard, there was a boy who looked about five or six years old.
Although the women were making clothes, they were looking around warily.
Upon seeing their master return, they were initially overjoyed, but hesitated upon seeing Shulan and He Fengmian: "Master, this..."
Uncle Zhou Chongyang said happily, "This is Xiao Shu'er, Anru's Xiao Shu'er."
The two aunts were also stunned.
Shulan looked at the two women, who were dressed simply and had patches on their clothes.
She obediently called out, "Eldest Aunt, Second Aunt."
The two aunts were a little reserved.
Zhou Weiyang said to his wife, "Since it's Xiao Shu'er's first time here, go and kill our old hen."
The eldest aunt was a little embarrassed, but she didn't object and nodded, "Okay."
Shu Lan was about to refuse when He Fengmian spoke up: "Uncle, I have already had food prepared, so you don't need to worry."
He added, "Shulan and I came here today specifically to visit my maternal grandparents and other elders, and also to discuss some matters."
Just as He Fengmian finished speaking, a carriage slowly approached, driven by Chu Yi.
The Zhou family stared at them blankly, then stammered, "This—"
