"An'an? An'an!"
Old Man Chi shouted desperately, tears streaming down his face, which was covered in old tree bark, and even snot was flowing from his nose.
The old man's face was dark reddish-brown, with purplish-blue marks around his eyes, the left side of his nose, and the right side of his jaw.
My hands were scraped and bleeding.
He had been kicked countless times by countless people, and he was still limping when he ran.
Even in his most disheveled state, in An'an's eyes, he was still the best grandfather in the world!
"grandfather!"
At this moment, An'an had long forgotten the threat from Countess Yongchang. Like a swallow returning to its nest, she ran towards her own grandfather, the grandfather who was trembling and covered in wounds as he ran towards her!
"grandfather!"
"Oh! An'an!"
The grandfather and grandson embraced and wept bitterly, showing how emotional they were.
Chi Tang struggled in Shen Nanxun's arms, crying out, "I want to go see An'an too!"
No, she had to check on her nephew.
Shen Nanxun was unwilling to let go, so he carried Chi Tang over.
An'an cried so hard in Uncle Chi's arms that she almost fainted. She didn't say a word, just kept crying.
Old Man Chi's eyes reddened even more as he cried, and his hands trembled.
Chi Tang kept twisting and turning until Shen Nanxun finally put her down.
The little girl stumbled over and patted An'an's head.
When her nephew looked up, the little girl magically produced a rainbow candy and said with a grin, "An'an, don't cry, Auntie will give you candy."
That familiar candy.
And familiar family members.
With tears welling up in her eyes, An'an took a piece of candy from her aunt's hand and put it in her mouth.
Then she cried again.
"It's so sweet, Auntie."
Just as Chi Tang was feeling a sour and uncomfortable feeling in her heart, she heard her nephew's next words and burst into tears.
“I’ve dreamt of my aunt giving me candy many times, but it’s never sweet.”
"Wow!"
Chi Tang cried and went to hug her nephew.
The poor little guy.
Is this someone who dreams of going home?
"Little Aunt, don't cry, don't cry."
"Waaah, An'an."
"Auntie, I'm alright. Really."
Having served as a servant here for more than half a year, An'an had long lost her original innocence and even become somewhat unruly and disobedient.
The current An'an is mature, sensitive, and perceptive.
He was clearly the nephew, yet he was patiently coaxing his aunt.
Hello, big brother.
Shen Beisheng appeared out of nowhere, looked around as if he didn't understand what was going on, and bowed with his hands clasped in apology.
"Big brother, if An'an has offended you in any way, please forgive me."
Upon hearing this, Old Man Chi looked over.
What an exquisite doll!
Dressed so well, are you the young master of this manor?
Is An'an here to serve this young master?
"It's alright, you can go back now."
Shen Nanxun didn't want to say much. He walked over and picked up Chi Tang, whispering, "Let's go back and talk about it, okay? Let your father rest and get some medicine."
"Thank you, handsome brother."
Chi Tang thanked her in a childish voice.
Grandpa Chi also wanted to hold An'an, but his grandson shook his head sensibly: "Grandpa is so tired, and I'm all grown up now, I don't need Grandpa to hold me anymore."
Actually, seeing Grandpa's injuries, I couldn't bear to let him work so hard anymore.
Old Man Chi was exhausted and in pain, and probably couldn't hold him for long, so he simply took his grandson's hand and followed behind Shen Nanxun.
An'an had only taken two steps when she suddenly remembered something. She quickly let go of her grandfather's hand and turned back to thank Shen Beisheng.
"Third Young Master, thank you."
"Ah, An'an, congratulations! Your family has found you. The person your big brother is holding is..." Shen Beisheng asked casually.
An'an scratched her head and replied, "She's my aunt."
"Your little aunt? How do you know your older brother?"
"I don't know either."
"Alright, hurry up and catch up, or your big brother will get angry." Shen Beisheng smiled and pinched An'an's ear, congratulating him, "An'an, congratulations. You're finally reunited."
"Thank you, Third Young Master. I... I'll be going now. I won't forget you, Third Young Master."
Shen Beisheng squinted as he watched An'an and his older brother's departing figures, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Don't jump to conclusions about anything in this world too early.
The number of variables is beyond your imagination.
——
Shen Nanxun summoned the doctor who lived in the Yongchang Earl's Mansion to apply medicine to Old Man Chi. Then, following Chi Tang's advice, he sent someone out to find Aunt Chi and Chi Sanhe to report the news.
Once everything was arranged, Chi Tang finally felt at ease. He grabbed An An's hand and asked her all sorts of questions, even tugging at An An's clothes.
"Take it off, let me see." Chi Tang stood on the chair, her little belly sticking out, and spoke in a commanding tone.
An'an blushed: "Auntie!"
He said he was fine, so why doesn't his aunt believe him?
They even made him take his clothes off?!
There are so many people.
"Just take it off! You're such a tiny kid, why are you afraid of people looking at you?"
A toddler, just over a year old, was calling An'an, who was several years older than her, "a tiny little kid" in a childish voice.
Not to mention Hong Ling, even Shen Nanxun couldn't help but chuckle.
"Auntie! I told you I'm fine." An'an stamped her feet anxiously.
Finally, it was Old Man Chi who came back after applying the medicine that came to the rescue: "Alright, girl, if An'an says it's nothing, then it's nothing."
