Their family has farmed all their lives. If they were to be implicated and punished, they would be facing certain death!
Old Mrs. Shen pondered and pondered, could this be what the young master and Li Bao had said that afternoon?
She felt a strange excitement welling up inside her, as if the heavens were guiding her.
The more Old Lady Shen thought about it, the more convinced she became: "Eldest son, listen to your mother on this matter, do it, go ahead and do it with confidence!"
Boss Shen was still a little confused: "Huh?"
Old Mrs. Shen patted her eldest son's shoulder with a smile: "Our family has met a benefactor, eldest son. Just listen to that young master and do a good job! If this succeeds, how many people will benefit?"
Old Master Shen listened to Old Lady Shen and said, "Okay!"
In another room, Shen Jiahao insisted on sleeping with Lili tonight, which showed that today's events had really frightened him. He was now afraid that Lili would leave his sight.
"Honey, Pear is really okay! I'm perfectly fine!"
Lili spun around for Shen Jiahao to see. The little dumpling was full of energy, and apart from the conspicuous red mark on her neck, there was really nothing else to see.
Pear has been eating well these days and has finally gained some weight, so she doesn't look so thin anymore.
Shen Jiahao hadn't dared to look closely at the mark during the day, but now that he had, tears welled up in his eyes again.
Shen Jiahao didn't dare to touch it. Even he, a boy, couldn't help but feel scared and terrified by that scene. How scared must she, a little girl, be?
"I'm sorry, Li Bao, it's all my fault for being useless and unable to protect you..."
Shen Jiahao lowered his head, his choked voice filled with sadness and guilt.
Lili felt somewhat helpless. Although she was young, she was not unreasonable. How could this be Shen Jiahao's fault?
“The bad guys are the ones who are wrong.” Lili hugged Shen Jiahao tightly and pressed her little face against his palm. “How can the victim be wrong?”
Shen Jiahao was slightly taken aback. He actually understood this principle, but he just couldn't help blaming himself.
If he were a little stronger, he wouldn't have been forced to watch helplessly as Pear Blossom was taken away, unable to do anything about it.
"Lili knows Daguo is sad, and Lili has never blamed you. If it really doesn't work, then make yourself stronger!"
The little dumpling looked so serious that Shen Jiahao suddenly understood.
Yes, he can't change what has already happened, but he can change the future!
He wants to become stronger, he wants to learn martial arts, and protect Lili!
A faint glint appeared in Shen Jiahao's eyes. Lili had a feeling that Shen Jiahao would definitely achieve something in martial arts.
That night, something mysterious changed.
A brilliant star rises slowly from the constellation, orbiting an even brighter star, unnoticed and unknown to anyone.
As the moon set and the sun rose, Qin Renjie personally sent a carriage to take the group back to Xinghua Village.
Gu Ziyi did not stay at the county magistrate's office, but stayed at an inn in the city.
Early in the morning, Gu Ziyi arrived at the county magistrate's office right on time, just in time to meet the Shen family preparing to board their carriage.
Gu Ziyi's eyes searched for the little dumpling in the crowd, and she couldn't help but chuckle when she saw the sleepy little dumpling in Shen Jiahao's arms.
"Young Master Gu," Old Master Shen called out to Gu Ziyi.
Gu Ziyi nodded, believing that Boss Shen had already made a decision: "Mr. Shen, what's your decision?"
Boss Shen glanced at his wife, who gave him an affirming look. Boss Shen said, "I'm willing to cooperate with you."
Gu Ziyi gave a knowing smile: "Okay. There's no rush. I'll come find you after everything is arranged."
Boss Shen hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Okay, but I need to discuss it with my brothers."
"certainly."
After finishing speaking, Gu Ziyi didn't go to talk to Lili anymore. He just quietly watched the Shen family get into the carriage and the carriage gradually disappear into the distance.
The carriage traveled for almost a day, hurrying as fast as it could, and finally arrived back at Xinghua Village at dinner time.
Horse-drawn carriages often pass by on the official road outside Xinghua Village, but this is the first time I've ever seen a horse-drawn carriage enter the village.
The villagers were curious when they saw the unfamiliar horse-drawn carriage arrive, and they watched it from a distance in front of their houses.
They were all curious and surprised to see the carriage slowly drive to the end of the village and stop in front of the Shen family's house.
With the help of her eldest son, Old Mrs. Shen got off the carriage and, with a beaming smile, invited the coachman to stay for dinner: "It's already this late, if you don't mind, why don't you stay for a meal?"
The coachman, a servant of the county magistrate, quickly declined, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Madam, but I have to rush back to report! I won't stay any longer."
"Okay, then be careful on the road."
"Why."
Hearing the commotion at the gate, Liu, who was in the courtyard, came out and saw a carriage turning around and leaving. She looked bewildered.
"Mother, you're back?" Liu Shi quickly went to help Old Lady Shen up, and then asked Old Master Shen, "What happened?"
Shen Laoda picked up the basket of mushrooms and walked into the house. Liu Shi told Shen Jiahao to take Lili to wash her hands and prepare for dinner.
Boss Shen said, "I'll tell you later."
Liu was completely bewildered and closed the door, utterly confused.
Yang had just finished cooking when Shen Laosan and Shen Laoer helped bring out the dishes, and Chen set out the bowls and chopsticks.
"Mother!"
Lili hadn't seen her mother for two days and missed her terribly. As soon as she came in, she ran straight into Yang's arms.
Mrs. Yang missed her precious daughter terribly. She hadn't slept well for the past two days, constantly worrying and thinking about her. Yesterday, she suddenly experienced palpitations for a while, which made her even more anxious.
Seeing the little dumpling back now, I'm naturally extremely happy.
"Does Pear Baby miss her mother?"
Lili shouted, "Yes!"
Mrs. Yang was all smiles as she stroked her precious daughter's soft fur when she suddenly noticed a red mark on the little girl's neck and quickly took a closer look.
I was shocked when I saw it. It looks like it was cut by some sharp weapon.
"Li Bao, what happened? Did you accidentally bump into something?"
"It's okay, Mommy, let's eat!" Lili didn't dare to tell her anything, so she mumbled something to brush it off, ran to the side to wash her hands, and then quickly darted out.
"Oh!" Yang looked at the little dumpling that had disappeared into the kitchen and became even more suspicious. She quickly tidied up the stove and went to the main room.
Inside the main room, the Shen family members sat neatly together, with the younger ones surrounding Shen Jiahao and Lili, asking them all sorts of questions, such as whether the city was fun or pretty.
Shen Jiahao answered each question, and finally said somewhat apologetically, "I was thinking of bringing back a candied hawthorn for each of you, but something happened and I didn't have time to..."
"It's nothing, brother, you can bring us more next time." Shen Jialu didn't seem to care much.
"It's just my brother, what's the big deal?"
