Shen Jun was still a child. He had never been to a private school before because of his poor health, and his family was reluctant to let him study hard.
So now, he can only communicate verbally and can't write very well because he couldn't even hold a pen properly before.
It was rare for someone to come to the house, and this was a beautiful older sister—the sister who, according to his father, had saved his life and allowed him to go out and play. He really liked her very much.
As a result, Shen Jun became Shen Xingmian's little slingshot, wishing he could follow her wherever she went.
Shen Xingmian couldn't see any problem with the little brother, so she grasped his thin wrist and channeled a lot of healing energy into it, thinking of curing him completely in one go.
Suddenly, Shen Jun pointed to his left chest with delight and exclaimed, "Jun'er, it doesn't hurt here anymore! It feels warm and comfortable!"
Shen Xingmian wasn’t actually sure that Shen Jun had a heart condition, but his previous symptoms seemed to suggest it.
If I had known it would be like this, I would have troubled Uncle Xu to make a trip to treat Jun'er when we parted ways with Uncle Jiang Yu. The child wouldn't have had to suffer so much.
But now that she's here, her adorable little brother can recover completely without having to bother anyone else.
The most surprised were Shen Yunlan and Lin Miao, who knew their son's physical condition best. Every time they saw him weakly murmuring that his chest hurt, their hearts ached as if they were bleeding.
The children are saying that it's warm and comfortable there. Although they don't know what happened, it doesn't stop them from being happy about it.
Shen Xingmian's secret was known to the Shen family in the Northern Border, but not to his second uncle's family in Jiangnan.
Shen Xingmian explained with a smile, "It was just one of my little tricks. You don't need to worry about it anymore. Jun'er's health is perfectly fine now."
She worried that her second uncle and aunt were overly anxious and might develop some hidden illnesses, so she also transferred some supernatural abilities to them.
Since both of them were in relatively good health, they didn't feel it very strongly, but they did have a warm feeling in their bodies.
Although they didn't know the reason, they trusted Shen Xingmian completely, knowing that she would never harm their family. So they calmly accepted this strange situation, didn't ask any more questions, and only expressed their gratitude.
The two chatted with her for a long time afterward, but never asked about the situation in the Northern Border, which made Shen Xingmian somewhat puzzled.
She thought the two of them would definitely ask about this first, but they didn't bring it up until it was almost time to eat. Finally, she asked, puzzled, "Second Uncle, don't you want to ask about Grandpa?"
Shen Yunlan then slapped his thigh, remembering:
"Oh right, your grandfather has been sending a lot of letters here recently, not only about the situation in the North, but also asking several times if you have arrived. That's why Uncle Liu immediately recognized you when you came in."
Your second aunt and I were so surprised to see you that we didn't think of this for a moment.
Wait a minute, I'll go get your grandfather's letter right away so you can see it too!
At this point, his smile became somewhat malicious:
"I'm not trying to be mean, but Mianmian, you've traveled so far and only sent one letter home. You're bound to get a beating from your grandpa when you get back!"
Shen Xingmian's face immediately fell, and she felt that things were not going well.
Grandpa wouldn't be so willing to beat her, but Mom certainly would!
She would have to plead with her father and grandfather to spare her a beating. Of course, it wasn't that she couldn't beat her mother; if she really couldn't, she could run away. But if she didn't obediently take the beating, where would her mother vent her anger?
Lin Miao noticed Shen Xingmian's embarrassment and comforted her with a smile, "It's okay, at worst your second aunt will go back with you. If your mother wants to beat you, your second aunt will stand in front of her."
With just one sentence, the two became even closer. Shen Xingmian looked at her second aunt with tears in her eyes and nodded obediently.
Shen Jun chimed in from the side, "I will also protect my sister and not let her get beaten!"
The little one, who barely knows any words, is already saying nice things to coax his older sister, which really touched Shen Xingmian deeply.
Just then, her second uncle came over with a stack of letters and placed them beside her.
She took out a letter and found two sheets of paper inside, one larger and one smaller, but both were different from the normal size of the paper, much smaller and slightly curled.
Upon opening the larger one, I saw that it was indeed my grandfather's handwriting—very dense and the characters were quite small.
The story briefly describes the situation in the North, and then tells her second uncle that she has come to treat Jun'er's illness, and asks him to keep an eye on things so that he doesn't lock her out.
Shen Xingmian was deeply moved. If her grandfather hadn't made arrangements beforehand, she probably wouldn't have been able to get in so easily.
Huh?
etc.
She was riding a snowball, running so fast, so why did her grandfather's letter arrive before her?
Is this really scientific?
As soon as the question was asked, Shen Yunlan on the other end laughed: "Mianmian has been in the Northern Territory for so long, does she know that our Shen family has falcons that can deliver messages to the capital?"
Shen Xingmian looked surprised; she really didn't know.
She had always thought that such things only existed in legends, but she never expected that she would actually have them in her own home.
It's no wonder she didn't know; she stayed in her spatial dimension every day and had no one far away she needed to contact. Eagles and falcons were completely irrelevant to her.
She calmly opened the smaller letter and discovered that it was written to her by Xiao Yanyue. It was short, but it clearly expressed his care and concern.
Shen Xingmian was even more moved. Sure enough, the good things she did would eventually come back to her. How could these two children be so thoughtful and adorable?
Xiao Yanyue, whom she still treated like a child, studied diligently in the Northern Territory without ever taking a day off. Not only did her martial arts skills improve significantly, but her cultural knowledge also reached a level where she could almost take the imperial examinations.
Shen Zhiheng and Luo Qi'an, the father-in-law and son-in-law, were extremely satisfied with the child who might become their son-in-law in the future.
If Mianmian doesn't understand things when she grows up, they'll have to grab her by the ear and bring it up.
It's not that they're siding with outsiders; it's just that such an outstanding son-in-law is someone they can't find another like him in the entire Linyue region.
The feeling of nurturing talent for your own people is incredibly satisfying!
They were already teaching very hard, and when they discovered how much the child cared about Mianmian, they not only taught her everything they knew, but also found several other excellent teachers outside.
