Chapter 81: Frank and unpretentious



Song, who was standing in front, was grabbed by the arm by Xin Rui who rushed over. Looking at her bright and beautiful face so close, she could intuitively feel her anxiety.

She began to say, "They went that way, but..."

Before Song finished her words, Xin Rui let go of her arm and turned to look at Qi Wenqin who was coming from behind.

"Wenqin, she said that our daughter was taken over there by that thief. Let's go quickly or Zhuzhu will be scared."

Qi Wenqin hugged his flustered wife to calm her down, then looked at Song and asked, "What did this lady want to say just now?"

Song said, "The thief you mentioned injured my brother's wife. My son and daughter have already followed him, so your daughter should be fine."

As he was speaking, Shen Dalang's voice came over.

"Mom, we're back."

Shen Dalang and Shen Erlang walked in front, followed by Shen Yu'an who was holding a little girl.

The little girl was holding a candy in her hand, and was trying to peel off the outer candy wrapper with her chubby little hands, and then handed the candy to Shen Yu'an's mouth.

"Sister, eat candy."

Shen Yu'an took the candy that was handed to her mouth and put it into her mouth, and thanked her happily: "Zhuzhu is so good, thank you Zhuzhu for giving me candy, but eating too much candy will damage your teeth, Zhuzhu promise me that you will only eat one a day, okay."

"Okay~" the little girl shouted in a loud baby voice.

The little girl was frightened. When I brought her back just now, she kept crying.

Shen Yu'an took some candies from the space to coax her.

Of course, the effect was very significant. The little girl put all the candies into the small purse she carried with her, and she stopped crying instantly.

The four of them appeared in everyone's sight. Sensing something was wrong, Shen Yu'an looked over there.

I found a group of people standing opposite the Shen family.

This happened when they were leaving?

She took two quick steps and walked completely out from behind Shen Dalang and Shen Erlang.

"Zhuzhu, it's Zhuzhu!" Xin Rui said excitedly in Qi Wenqin's arms.

When the little girl heard her mother's voice, she looked over and saw that it was indeed her mother and father.

The big eyes that were full of joy just now were instantly filled with tears.

"Mom, Dad, woo, woo." The little girl opened her hands and wanted to go to the two of them.

Shen Yu'an quickly hugged the person tighter to prevent him from falling.

But he still walked towards the two people the little girl was calling.

"Zhuzhu, my Zhuzhu." Xin Rui and Qi Wenqin walked over together.

Shen Yu'an handed the little girl to Xin Rui's arms.

Qi Wenqin first glanced at his little daughter who had been lost and found, and then looked at Shen Yuan and the other two and thanked them solemnly.

"I am Qi Wenqin from Xiangnan General's Mansion. Thank you three friends for bringing my child back safely."

Bai Wu and Ji Xun were shocked when they heard that this person was actually from the General's Mansion.

Miss Shen was really lucky. She actually saved the girl from the general's mansion, which meant that the general's mansion owed her a favor.

In the Xiangnan area, everything is under the direct jurisdiction of the General's Mansion, but I don't know which branch of the General's Mansion these two belong to.

Then Qi Wenqin waved his hand to the guards behind him and ordered, "Go and get the two boxes in the carriage."

The old woman who had been following their carriage just now changed her expression when she heard that Qi Wenqin was going to take the two boxes.

The thing in one of the boxes... is the Dongzhu that the Second Master promised to give to the Third Miss.

If the Third Miss didn't get the Dongzhu when she returned home, she wouldn't dare to challenge the Second Master, but he would definitely blame her.

The old woman leaned forward and said, "Second Master, weren't the things in that box said to be for the Third Miss?"

"When we go back, if they find out that you gave this precious item to outsiders... and they are just a bunch of peasants, then... Miss Third..."

Qi Wenqin took the two boxes in his hands and said in an ambiguous tone, "I don't know when my Zhuzhu's nanny became so devoted to the Third Miss!"

The old woman, Aunt Qian, was so frightened that she fell to her knees and defended herself with a terrified look on her face: "Second Master, please understand. I have always been loyal to Miss Zhu and have never had any second thoughts."

Qi Wenqin had no mercy on his heart. The fact that his daughter almost got lost was definitely related to Madam Qian.

He said, "We'll know if she's loyal or not if we take her away and interrogate her. Take Madam Qian away."

"yes!"

Two guards stepped forward, grabbed Nanny Qian's arms and dragged her away.

"Second Master, you can't do this to me. When the old man was still alive... wuwuwu"

The guard thought she was being too noisy, so he tore off a part of Nanny Qian's clothes and stuffed it into her mouth.

The world is finally quiet.

When Qi Wenqin looked at Shen Yu'an and the Shen family again, he regained his gentle demeanor, and Xin Rui also came over holding the little girl.

Qi Wenqin handed the two boxes to Shen Yu'an.

"I don't have anything valuable when I'm away from home, so I hope you can accept this small gift. There are some Dongzhu pearls in this box, so I'll give it to you, young lady."

Shen Yu'an was not being pretentious. She did save their daughter's life, otherwise who knows whose belly she would be in now.

She took the box and said, "Don't be so polite. It's just something that comes to hand."

Qi Wenqin's mouth twitched. If you hadn't taken the thing so quickly, I would have believed you.

However, he did not think that Shen Yu'an was greedy for money. Instead, he felt that she was straightforward and unpretentious, and he developed a good impression of her.

Xin Rui also said: "The young lady and her family are also going to the south, we will live in the Xiangnan General's Mansion, if you need anything in the future, please come to us, and we will definitely do our best to help."

After saying that, he handed Shen Yu'an a jade pendant as a token of trust.

Shen Yuan said: "Then thank you two in advance."

"You're too polite, young lady. You helped us bring our daughter back. We should be the ones thanking you." Xin Rui said with great gratitude.

Qi Wenqin raised his head and looked towards the crowd of Shen family members, and suddenly saw two figures who looked very familiar.

One of them was Ji Xun, who had met the imperial teacher and his disciple Ji Xun when he followed his elder brother to Beijing to report on his work.

I heard that the national teacher resigned at the beginning of the year. How come his disciples appear here?

The other familiar figure was Fei Yanche, but he thought for a long time but couldn't remember when he had seen this person before, so he simply gave up.

Realizing that he had been recognized, Ji Xun walked over and exchanged a few polite words.

Because Qi Wenqin was in a hurry to get back, he left with the team soon.
