Chapter 253 Dangerous Person Shen Muyang
Although it was still dark, Master Zhu couldn't sleep. He remembered what his son had said about adoption, so he got up and went to his study to think it over.
But as soon as he got up and turned his head, he saw the jade pendant on the bedside table.
"Madam, please take a look and see if this jade pendant belongs to Li'er?"
When Madam Zhu saw the jade pendant handed to her by Master Zhu, her vision went black and she fainted...
A chaotic scene unfolded at the Zhu residence. When Old Madam Zhu awoke, she quietly gazed at the jade pendant and shed tears.
She would never mistake this jade pendant for Li'er's.
Moreover, Li'er has always kept it close to his body and has never taken it off all these years.
She was also quite certain that the jade pendant had appeared only last night.
Now, Madam Zhu finally believes that her son is dead...
Three days later, the two elders of the Zhu family returned to the Zhu clan's ancestral land together.
A month later, the two elders returned to the Zhu residence with their grandson, Zhu Haoze.
Zhu Haoze, as Zhu Shaoli's son, built a tomb for him as a cenotaph, which contained Zhu Shaoli's personal jade pendant and clothes.
At the same time, the Zhu family announced that Zhu Shaoli and his wife, who were out on business, were killed when they encountered bandits.
Six months later, a woman covered in filth appeared at the gate of the Zhu residence, carrying a premature baby and claiming to be the young mistress of the Zhu family.
Upon seeing this, Madam Zhu immediately ordered someone to snatch the child and send him back to Zhong Yanli's parents' home.
The woman was thrown into the Earth God Temple in the west of the city, where the beggars rushed at her regardless of whether she was dirty or not.
The next morning, inside the earth god temple in the west of the city, a naked woman covered in blood and no longer breathing was thrown out by a group of beggars with disgusted expressions…
The next morning, before Ning Bao had even woken up, everyone in Shanglin Village had packed their bags and were ready to set off.
Everyone knew Ningbao had been busy for a long time last night, so they didn't wake her up when they left this morning. In fact, the people around her deliberately walked quietly and kept their voices down...
When Ningbao woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. Li Guizhi was afraid that the sun would shine on Ningbao, so she specially covered Ningbao's head with her outer robe.
Ningbao woke up rubbing her eyes and found that the sky above her head was dark.
Walking beside Mu Chunping, Shen Yuzhen saw her little daughter stir and quickly lifted her clothes.
“Ningbao is awake. This road is uneven and not easy to walk on. Your dad was afraid of hurting you by the bumpy ride, so he refused to put the cart down and simply carried it on his back himself.”
Now we have donkeys and horses at home, something we never dared to imagine before. Even other families in the village are doing much better than before they fled the famine.
Everyone said they never expected that fleeing famine could lead to wealth.
Ning Bao's family had harnessed their donkeys and horses to a large cart. Seeing Ning Bao wake up, Mu Dasheng, who was on the cart, quickly patted the spot next to him.
"Chunping, quickly bring Ningbao over, my precious grandson must be hungry."
When Mu Chunping heard her father say that their daughter might be hungry, she quickly picked up Ningbao and headed for the cart.
Shen Yuzhen went over and took out a water pouch, letting Ningbao rinse her mouth and wash herself quickly.
Now, all the way east, there is no more drought, and we don't have to be as frugal with water as before. Back when we were in the border region, we didn't even have water to drink, let alone to wash.
Just as Ning Bao finished washing up and Mu Dasheng was about to hand her the food that Li Guizhi had left for her, he saw Shen Muyang, who was walking in front of them, coming over with a food box.
The procession was still moving slowly. Shen Muyang walked to the cart Ning Bao had made and politely greeted Mu Dasheng on the cart and Mu Chunping, Shen Yuzhen, and the others following beside it. Then he looked at Mu Dasheng.
"Grandpa Mu, may I sit on your cart for a while?"
Few elderly people dislike polite and well-behaved children.
Mu Dasheng looked at Shen Muyang with a kind expression.
"Mu Yang is here, come and sit down."
With Mu Dasheng's permission, Shen Muyang jumped onto the cart without hesitation. Once seated, he quickly opened the food box he had brought.
Wow! So much delicious food!
Ningbao looked with delight at the beautiful pastries in Shen Muyang's food box.
"Brother Muyang, your pastries look so beautiful."
Shen Muyang took out a piece of pastry and handed it to Ning Bao.
"Try it and see if you like it. This pastry was just made by Granny Gu this morning. If you like it, I'll get you more next time."
Ning Bao took the pastries from Shen Muyang and handed them to Mu Dasheng first.
"Grandpa, you eat."
Mu Dasheng shook his head.
"Grandpa is full, Ningbao, eat up."
Mu Dasheng raised an eyebrow as he looked at the pastry chef in the food box that Shen Muyang was holding. The Shen family was indeed a wealthy family, perhaps even an exceptionally wealthy family.
I've never seen such exquisite pastries before, not even in the biggest pastry shop in our town.
Ningbao then offered the pastries to the other family members by the cart, but they all shook their heads and refused to eat them.
An amusing scene soon unfolded on the cart: Ningbao ate incessantly like a little hamster, while Shen Muyang kept feeding her.
Mu Dasheng and Li Guizhi looked at Ning Bao with doting eyes, while Mu Chunping, Mu Cheng'an, Mu Chengju and their brothers stared at Shen Muyang with predatory eyes. For some reason, they always felt that this Shen Muyang, who looked sickly, was actually a dangerous person.
Shen Muyang, who was listed as a dangerous person by the Mu family father and son, smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the little girl in front of him who could eat so much. This girl was not tall, but she had a big appetite. It seemed that he would have to bring more food tomorrow.
