"aunt!"
When Lu Jing and Lu Nian suddenly saw their elders, they couldn't hold back any more and immediately threw themselves into Mu Nanzhi's arms with red eyes.
Although Mu Nanzhi also wanted to cry, she figured that they were outside, so she hurriedly pulled the two children into her carriage, intending to ask them why they were there.
When they got on the carriage, they looked at the two children carefully and found that they had become thinner and darker, which showed that they had suffered a lot during this period.
"A Jing, An Nian, why are you here?"
Lu Jing immediately told Mu Nanzhi about his and his sister's experiences over the past period of time.
"Pah~"
Mu Nanzhi felt that she couldn't vent her anger in front of the two children, so she could only slam the table to vent her anger, "The Lu family is so bold!"
There was another sentence she didn't say. Of course, the one who was the most courageous was their stepmother. She actually dared to do such a thing. Did she really think that there was no one in his Mu family?
Looking at the two still somewhat frail children, he had to suppress his anger and spoke in a lighter tone: “A Jing, An Nian, we must thank Miss Shen very much.”
The brother and sister nodded at the same time. They would indeed thank Sister Ali.
Jiang Muxue next to her took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. After her aunt passed away, her cousins were already miserable, and they didn't expect to have such a vicious stepmother.
If they hadn't met here today, they would probably have had no idea what had happened to their cousins.
Mu Nanzhi took the hands of the brother and sister and said, "Auntie will take you back and settle the accounts with you."
Lu Jing and Lu Nian were somewhat moved and hesitant when they heard this. Mu Nanzhi took in this scene and asked softly, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Lu Jing hesitated for a while, then finally spoke: "Aunt, we had originally agreed with Sister Ali to take us back, but now..."
Mu Nanzhi smiled lightly when she heard this. She thought it was something important that would make the two children so embarrassed.
"In that case, would you please let me go with you?"
It was too obvious to see that Miss Shen now held a huge place in the hearts of these two children. Moreover, upon closer inspection, although the two children were still a little thin, they were in good spirits, which showed that they had not been treated unfairly.
And Chen Li is also her savior. In this case, there is no need for her to be the bad guy.
Thinking of this, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. This Miss Shen and their family are really destined to be together.
"Let's go, let's go talk to Miss Shen."
After they chatted for a while, she got off the carriage first. The three cousins following behind her had already started chatting, each talking about what they had seen and experienced during this period.
Chen Li did not pay special attention to their conversation. After all, she was not a peeping Tom. Except for special circumstances, she would use her mental power to investigate. Otherwise, she rarely used her mental power to pry into other people's privacy.
Lin Cuicui was already cooking when Mu Nanzhi came over with her friends. Perhaps because they were away from home, the clothes they wore were not made of particularly expensive fabrics but were designed for comfort.
“Miss Shen, long time no see.”
"Mrs. Jiang, please take a seat."
There were a few small stools placed opposite Chen Li. Mu Nanzhi took a look and did not sit down immediately. Instead, he half-knelt and saluted Chen Li.
“Miss Shen, thank you for saving their lives.”
Chen Li smiled faintly, "It's just a coincidence, Madam Jiang, there's no need to be so polite."
Listening to her, Mu Nanzhi lifted up her clothes and sat down, with a serious expression on her face, "Miss Shen, you are too polite. I have heard from A Jing that if it weren't for you, they would be who knows where they are now."
Hearing her say this, Chen Li nodded. She was right. She had indeed helped the brother and sister a lot. This was a fact and she was worthy of the gift she gave.
There is no need to deny it. Even though the purpose of saving them was not very pure, saving them is saving them.
"Mrs. Jiang shouldn't come here just to thank you, right?"
Mu Nanzhi nodded and spoke softly, "I was very angry when I heard what happened to the two children. I originally wanted to take them back to seek justice."
Having said this, she paused and looked at the brother and sister standing beside her.
"But Jing said you promised to send them back, and I can't let the two children break their promise. And it takes eight days to get to Jiangnan at the slowest. So, can we go with you?"
"Bring them back safely."
Chen Li nodded. In fact, if it wasn't on the way, she would have wanted to let Mu Nanzhi take the brother and sister back directly.
"Of course you can. You are their elder, so it would be more convenient for you to do some things."
Mu Nanzhi sent them back, but it was definitely not just a simple matter of sending them back. There were some accounts that needed to be settled.
"In that case, thank you very much, Miss Shen."
It is indeed easier to deal with smart people, and Miss Shen is definitely a smart person.
"Then can they both stay with me during this time?"
Shen Li shook her head, "Mrs. Jiang, you should just ask them for their opinions directly."
Upon hearing this, Mu Nanzhi looked at the brother and sister expectantly. The brother and sister could not bear to reject their aunt's expectant gaze, so they nodded.
Fortunately, although they are not in the same team now, they are not far apart.
Ever since the brother and sister were rescued by Chen Li, their sense of security mostly came from Chen Li, and they were not used to the sudden departure.
Lu Nian came up to Chen Li, "Sister A Li~"
After hearing what her aunt said today, she realized that this place was not far from her home. Didn’t that mean that she would soon be separated from Sister Ali and the others?
Chen Li raised her hand to suppress the raised hair on the little girl's head, "Go, your brother and aunt are waiting for you."
"good."
While Chen Li was patting her head, Lu Nian raised her head and rubbed it gently on her hand a few times, then left with her aunt and the others feeling satisfied.
Lin Cuicui and Shen Changshan sat aside and did not disturb their conversation. However, when Mu Nanzhi left, she nodded slightly to them and left with Lu Jing and Lu Nian.
When the team set off at noon, the brother and sister had not returned. Chen Li and the others walked in front, and the escort team followed behind.
The brother and sister came back in the evening. They looked much more relaxed after they came back. It can be seen that with their aunt's support, the pressure in their hearts was reduced a lot.
Because they had to hurry, the team did not enter any towns along the way. Finally, on the afternoon of the 10th day, they successfully arrived in Yangzhou City where the Lu family was located.
Seeing the magnificent gate of Yangzhou City, Shen Changshan and his group all grinned. Once here, they would soon reach Suzhou and settle down.
