But now, all those minor ailments seem to have disappeared, and I feel lighter and even more comfortable than ever before.
Whether it's medical skills or magical arts, this little girl in front of us is an extraordinary person, and we should treat her with the utmost respect.
Shen Xingmian was unaware that she had become an extraordinary figure in her great-aunt's eyes.
It was already quite late, and not wanting to linger any longer, she suggested:
"Great-aunt, please pack your things quickly and bring all your important belongings. Come back to the General's Mansion with us today. After we meet tonight, it might not be safe for you to stay here any longer. Besides, you must really want to see your grandson every day, right?"
Liang Yueran originally didn't want to cause trouble for the General's Mansion, but Shen Xingmian's last words really touched her heart.
The small house they rented was quite a distance from the General's Mansion, and after the heavy snow, it was indeed a bit difficult to walk there.
We must also be careful not to be discovered by those with ulterior motives.
Now that she has finally seen her beloved grandson, she is reluctant to part with him.
Living in the General's Mansion is indeed the best choice.
If she continues to live here, her little grandson will inevitably become a target of his jealousy; she might as well just obediently go with him.
After a brief moment's thought, she nodded in agreement and, together with Liang Wanrong, began to quickly pack up.
They moved very quickly, probably because they had trained themselves after leaving Beijing. Since they didn't have much stuff, they packed four packages in no time and then signaled that they could leave.
Shen Xingmian couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Great-aunt, is it just you and Grandma Wanrong living here? Haven't you hired any people to protect us?"
Liang Yueran shook her head: "No, we don't trust the people we hire. For now, it's just the two of us staying here. Wanrong's husband went to work as a waiter at the biggest restaurant around here to gather information. He's on night duty a few days a month, and today is one of those days, so he's not home."
Shen Xingmian nodded knowingly: "Okay, we'll pass by there on our way back, and we can pick him up then."
"OK."
Neither of them had any objections. With the Shen family involved, what information couldn't they get? Why would they need to work as waiters in a restaurant?
Besides, what they wanted to find out most was news about Xiao Yanyue, and now that she was right in front of them, they had nothing else to worry about.
They came in a small electric car for two, which they knew wouldn't be able to use on their way back, so Shen Xingmian went out first and released a spacious horse-drawn carriage.
Xiao Yanyue carried two packages and hurried out, followed by her two grandmothers who were supporting each other.
Seeing that she had changed to a different carriage, Xiao Yanyue finally felt relieved.
He was afraid that Mianmian would have no sense of caution towards his family and would do whatever was easiest for him, just like she always did at home.
Seeing that she still had some awareness of this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally he didn't have to help cover it up anymore.
The person I need to be wary of has become my maternal grandmother, and I can't help but feel a little guilty if he comes in person.
But he really didn't want to expose Mianmian's secret to anyone outside of her family.
The two men locked the door, put the key under a stone next to the peach tree, and got into the carriage to leave.
Liang Yueran wasn't inherently difficult; it was just that in middle age, she had suffered a series of major setbacks, which caused her to feel depressed and appear unhealthy.
Now that her beloved grandson has been found, and her health has improved, she seems to be regaining her vitality.
Grandma Wanrong was overjoyed to see her like this. Since the old lady's death, she had never been so relaxed and carefree.
Shen Xingmian stared intently at her great-aunt for a long while, using the light of the night lamp.
What was originally a somewhat impolite act turned into a sigh as she said with a touch of girlish innocence, "Oh, with a face like yours, it's really hard for me to call you 'Great-Auntie.' You don't look much older than my mother." After that, Liang Yueran finally couldn't help but chuckle.
Even Grandma Wanrong, who was standing next to her, turned her head and chuckled, her shoulders shaking. Xiao Yanyue, who was driving outside, heard everything clearly and felt both grateful and comforted.
He knew that the kind-hearted Mianmian always had a way of easing other people's tension.
Liang Yueran replied somewhat embarrassedly, "It's all thanks to Mianmian's miraculous healing skills, otherwise Auntie would have looked so haggard."
The car was full of people who were very good at chatting, and in no time they became as close as if they had known each other for many years.
Xiao Yanyue looked up at the moon outside, and couldn't help but smile. Meeting Mianmian had finally brought light to his life.
After walking for a short while, they arrived at Keyunlai Restaurant.
When Shen Xingmian first saw the name of this restaurant, he felt that it was a waste to use such an auspicious name in a restaurant in the Northern Territory.
Let alone a place packed with customers, having three tables full at the same time is already considered a pretty good business. I wonder what the owner is thinking.
It's called a grand restaurant, but that's only in comparison to other restaurants in Yong'an Town. Even compared to the neighboring Jiqing Prefecture, it wouldn't stand out.
The restaurant was still open; the lanterns at the entrance were lit, and there were sounds of casual conversation coming from inside.
Shen Xingmian was glad they didn't go out late at night, otherwise she would have had to wake them up in the middle of the night, which would have been impolite.
I sent Grandma Wanrong to call for someone. She and her great-aunt are waiting in the car. They should be able to come out soon.
Liang Wanrong pushed open the door to the restaurant and immediately saw her husband. Looking at the people still eating at the table, she knew it wasn't a good time to call them away, so she leaned over and whispered to him about the gathering at the General's Mansion later.
Wan Quan was somewhat surprised by this, but he quickly calmed down and nodded in agreement, "Okay, you guys go first. I'll go over by myself once I'm done packing up here."
Liang Wanrong didn't say anything more and quickly left the restaurant.
After reporting back to them from inside the carriage, he reassured them, fearing they might worry, "Don't worry, Lao Wan has some skill; ordinary people can't do anything to him. Let's go now."
Seeing that Shen Xingmian had no objections, Xiao Yanyue directed the horse to head home.
Shen Xingmian wasn't without objections; she was just wondering how to tell her family when she got home that her mother knew her great-aunt and would probably be quite happy... right?
She couldn't help but shrink back at her own act of acting first and asking questions later.
I silently prayed that everything would go smoothly and that no conflicts would arise in the future.
Actually, she couldn't think of any conflict. Her family had everything they needed, and they were well-fed and clothed. When they were free, they would chat with people or play cards. Who would be so bored as to pick a fight at home?
