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

Shi Li wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, she realized that her maternal grandfather's surname was Sun, so it didn't seem like there would be much of a problem in saying that she was Miss Sun. She simply gave up explaining and just smiled.

The Sun family sent people to the post station very quickly on the third day. The leader was Sun Fanzhong's half-brother Sun Nanchuan.

This cousin was slightly less magnanimous than Sun Fanzhong, but he was also very reasonable and moderate in his dealings with others.

After seeing the graceful Shi Li, he took a deep breath and then smiled and said, "Grandmother fell ill that night after learning that the ship my cousin was on encountered pirates. She was relieved to receive the letter yesterday and almost came to pick you up in person."

If Madam Sun really went through this, Shi Li would become famous.

With a helpless and guilty expression on her face, she said to Sun Nanchuan, "Thank you for your hard work, cousin. I feel ashamed to have caused my grandmother to worry."

"You don't have to feel ashamed. But when grandma sees my brother, she will definitely not forgive him for letting you come to Jiangnan alone and causing such a big incident on the way."

Sun Nanchuan's tone was friendly, and Shi Li soon let go of the estrangement from their first meeting, and they agreed to set off again tomorrow.

With the company of the maids and old women brought by the Sun family, Eighteen quietly disappeared again and never showed up again.

In the past few days, Shi Li had become accustomed to being with him day and night. Suddenly, she could not see him anymore. Even though she knew he must be not far away, she still felt a little empty inside.

Later, Shi Yi also came to say goodbye to her.

"I thought you would go to Jiangnan with me."

Shi Li was a little surprised. Although she did not ask actively, she knew that Shi Yi had no other relatives alive except his mother. She thought that he was alone and would travel with her again.

Shi Yi just shook his head, "Although Jiangnan is nice, it's not where I want to go. Take care, young lady, and we'll see each other again in the future."

His words and actions were not like those of an ordinary person. He probably had some secrets that he didn't want to reveal to others. Shi Li didn't ask any more questions, but quietly gave him a silver note of 500 taels.

Before Shi Yi refused, Shi Li smiled and said to him: "You already owe me a favor, so it doesn't matter if you owe me another one. These are nothing to me, but they are very useful to you now."

Shi Yi looked at her deeply, and finally did not refuse this kindness.

Then he didn't even wait until the next day, and quietly left the inn that day.

At dusk, Shi Li and Sun Nanchuan were having dinner together in the inn when a pair of ferocious-looking men suddenly broke in from outside the door.

The leader looked around the lobby and spoke in a very arrogant tone.

"Our master is looking for a runaway slave! If anyone sees him, please hand him over!"

Shi Li was so frightened by the shout that she choked and subconsciously turned around to shout "Eighteen". She didn't know when it had become a habit.

Fortunately, Sun Nanchuan's voice stopped him in time.

"How insolent." Sun Nanchuan's face was as cold as frost. Although the Sun family in Jiangnan was not as wealthy as those in the capital, they were still a well-known family. It was impossible for them to tolerate someone being so arrogant in front of them.

Without his instructions, the manager beside him immediately went forward to negotiate with the group of people.

"Don't be afraid, Lili, drink some water." Sun Nanchuan personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Shi Li.

Shi Li was glad that she didn't really call out Eighteen. She lowered her head, sipped her tea, and quietly paid attention to the movement over there.

The leader of the other party was very arrogant, and even when facing the steward of the Sun family, he had no intention of backing down. Later, it was the people behind him who walked over and said something, which made him take a step back.

Soon, the steward returned to Sun Nanchuan.

"Sir, those people are from the capital, saying that the escaped slaves stole the important things of the master's family, and asked our brother to make things convenient for us."

The manager's words were vague, but it was obvious that the other party was unwilling to give in.

And he came from the capital, which showed that he was indeed from a prominent background.

Sun Nanchuan frowned and looked at Shi Li opposite him, feeling really guilty towards her. First he was frightened by the pirates, and now he encountered something like this.

"Let them search, we'll just wait here." Shi Li saw what Sun Nanchuan was thinking and was very understanding.

The group of people went around the inn, but in the end found nothing and left in a hurry.

Looking at their backs, Shi Li couldn't help but complain: "I don't know what was lost. It's worth mobilizing so many people."

Sun Nanchuan did not comment and personally sent her back to her room to sleep.

"When you see your grandmother tomorrow, she will be so distressed to see how haggard you are that she won't know what to say." Sun Nanchuan looked at Shi Li's face and showed a little heartache.

Even though they haven't met for so many years, the people of the Sun family still treat her sincerely; but the original owner has always been controlled by the Xu family, which is really sad.
