Quick Wear: Salted Fish anchor always eats melons on the scene

As soon as Sun Fanzhong finished speaking, he heard Xu let out a suppressed and restrained sigh.

She looked at Shi Li with reluctance, like a loving mother who wanted to keep her daughter by her side.

However, Shi Li didn't need to continue to pretend to be nice to her. She didn't even glance at her. She just looked at Sun Fanzhong and nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, I also want to accompany my grandmother and fulfill my filial duty on behalf of... my mother."

In the past, the original owner was worried that Xu would be sad, so she never mentioned her biological mother in front of her. Hearing her words, Xu was stunned and her eyes widened in disbelief.

Sun Fanzhong smiled with satisfaction, looked Shi Li up and down, and said casually, "Why are you dressed so simply? Didn't your aunt leave all her dowry to you?"

The teacup in Xu's hand nearly fell to the ground. She was nervous all over and stared at Shi Li without blinking, fearing that her next words would ruin her reputation.

"I don't like luxury. My mother's dowry is well kept." Shi Li didn't say it directly, but looked at Xu with a smile, "Isn't that what I said, Madam?"

What could Xu say? She could only nod and say "yes", gripping the corner of the table guiltily.

In fact, at this point, Sun Fanzhong had basically seen through Shi Li's situation in Jiang's mansion, but he didn't say anything else.

No matter how powerful he was, he was still a junior in terms of status, and it was inconvenient for him to face the Xu family directly, so he just let the matter go first.

The most important thing right now is to bring Shi Li back to the Sun family in Jiangnan safely.

"My cousin has come from afar, so please stay in the mansion for the time being. Even if you want to take Lili to stay in Jiangnan for a while, there is no rush. Besides, Lili also needs to pack her things."

Xu gradually came to her senses and resumed basic greetings.

"Thank you for your kindness, ma'am, but it's not convenient for me to stay in your house. I already have a place to stay, so I won't disturb you." Sun Fanzhong refused gently.

Jiang Mingzhu walked in and heard these words. She looked up at Sun Fanzhong, and when she saw his appearance clearly, her eyes lit up slightly.

"Mingzhu, come here. This is your sister's cousin." When Xu saw her daughter, she waved to her and introduced her to him.

Jiang Mingzhu stopped her hurried steps, walked towards Sun Fanzhong, and bowed to him lightly, "My cousin."

Sun Fanzhong simply dodged sideways.

"I won't bother you for now. Wait for Lili to pack up and send someone to inform her. We will set off immediately."

He said this to Xu, then smiled at Shi Li, without even looking at Jiang Mingzhu once the whole time.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Shi Li also said, "Let me see my cousin off."

This request was reasonable and Xu was a virtuous stepmother, so she naturally refused. She watched Shi Li follow Sun Fanzhong out, her face gradually darkening.

"Mom, is that man Jiang Shili's cousin?" Jiang Mingzhu couldn't read her mother's expression, so she came over to talk to her.

Xu took a quick glance and saw what she was thinking, so she slammed the table and snorted.

"You also know that he is Jiang Shili's cousin, so put away all your thoughts! You are going to marry into the palace in the future!"

She rarely spoke to her own daughter like this. Jiang Mingzhu shut up in grievance, with Sun Fanzhong's appearance all in her mind.

Suddenly I felt that there was nothing good about entering the palace and becoming a princess or queen.

Of course, she didn't dare to argue with Xu about this. Jiang Mingzhu was not smart, but she was not stupid enough to ask for trouble.

On the way out, Shi Li and Sun Fanzhong walked side by side.

Without anyone else, she could finally once again sincerely thank Sun Fanzhong for the hard work of coming all the way from Jiangnan.

Sun Fanzhong stopped and looked at her deeply.

"You haven't written back even one letter in these years. Grandma felt sad and guilty for not bringing you to her side. She was delighted when she received your letter the day before yesterday."

Shi Li felt ashamed for the original owner and could only say, "I will be a good filial son to my grandmother this time."

Sun Fanzhong did not respond to this, but said: "Don't be too cautious, the Sun family can still support you."

This one sentence made Shi Li feel warm inside.

After seeing Sun Fanzhong off, Shi Li returned to the house, sent everyone else away, and shouted "Eighteen" to the empty house.

As expected, the secret guard who had not been seen for many days appeared in front of her silently.
